    Lunch date with my coworkers! Such a hidden gem. Everything was so yummy!
    Amy V.

    My coworkers and I always walk past this hidden gem during our breaks. We decided to come for a lunch date and omg we are all so impressed with it! It's a mom and pop shop with a husband and wife duo working the grill and counter. The food was so yummy and flavorful!!! We're definitely going to come back and have future lunch dates here. We got the pork banh mi and pork vermicelli bowl. Everything was on point and we finished all our food. Price is very reasonable given that it's located in downtown. If you want to support a local business, definitely come here! The owners were super nice and appreciative that we stopped by for lunch. It's true that during the weekdays, the lines are out the door. It's best to call ahead and walk over to pick up your food if working from downtown.

    So delicious pho

    Love coming here on my lunch they are the sweetest couple running their business everything here tastes great I haven't had anything I didn't like . Delicious food and support locally owned

    Pork Bahn Mi
    Jacob T.

    Overall: 4/5 Food Taste: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Came here for lunch and grabbed a Pork Bahn Mi. The line was out the door, but it moved quickly. The Bahn Mi was SOLID! The most important things are the BREAD and the MEAT. The meat was juicy, tender and sweet. The bread was fresh, the fasho got it this morning! Definitely a SOLID choice and super affordable prices! This is not the best Bahn Mi out there, but for lunch downtown under $9, this hits the spot!

    This is a mom n pop ran family business. It's just the both of them churning out the food, Monday - Friday 10am-2pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is tiny and divey. It's counter service with some outdoor patio seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's always busy during the weekday lunch with a line out the door. The line moves relatively quick though. The menu has Vietnamese, Chinese, and American options with the likes of shrimp spring rolls, banh mi, teriyaki chicken, fried rice, Vietnamese beef stew, burgers, and fries just to name a few. Food is basic and tasty. Classic fare. I've had their banh mi, both the grilled chicken and grilled pork. $7.99. The sandwiches are loaded with meat and are a hefty size. The meat is tender with good flavor. The baguette is classic banh mi. Soft interior with crunchy, flaky top crust. Top notch, I have also ordered the Vietnamese beef stew. The broth is pretty darn tasty, it has the classic tangy bright profile. The chunks of braised beef is tender and fork shreddable. If you order this, just be aware it will take longer to prepare because they will need to heat a batch. They use a pot on the stove and not a microwave for that. The stew is served with a whole baguette, the same ones used for the banh mi.

    Wonton Soup. Great flavor. If you're Vietnamese there is a very nostalgic flavor to this soup.

    Coming in, the place is SMALL. It reminds me of coming into someone's home and waiting in the kitchen for the food to be done cooking because they make most of the items on the spot. I'd say getting Vietnamese food such as banh mi, spring rolls, vermicelli noodles, pho, soup, etc. is a solid choice. It is not the best and is slightly overpriced compared to the places in South Sacramento but compared to the prices downtown.. It is definitely on the lower end and tasted good enough for me to keep coming back. The owners are also really cute and friendly. Some of the Chinese food looked kind of sketchy so I have not tried it so this review is based on mainly the Vietnamese food choices.

    Vietnamese sandwich special with grilled pork
    Rachel K.

    I stopped at Yummy Choice impulsively while walking by on my way to a meeting. I had some time before my meeting and when I saw they had Banh Mi options on the menu I was sold. It's a small shop, great for quick to-go orders. They have some ready made hot options as well as items they make fresh when you order. I had to get the grilled pork Banh Mi and saw that they had grilled meat pork spring rolls so I bought them as well. They have fountain drinks, bottled drinks and iced tea available for drinks and they have utensils and sauces available to grab before you head out. My sandwich only took a few minutes to be ready and they handed me a bag with my items while I was taking some photos. The sandwich was huge and the spring rolls were stuffed, probably some of the biggest spring rolls I've had in a while. Everything tasted great. The bread was soft and fluffy and the sandwich as a whole was great, I loved the crunchy veggies with their sauce and the pork. I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu soon.

    Burger and fries
    Dennette S.

    I really love this small lunch spot for the Vietnamese soups, spring rolls and salads. But they also have many other items on the menu. To my surprise today, they are now serving cold or hot sandwiches and hamburgers and fries. This is a husband and wife owned restaurant, they are super friendly and make delicious food. There will also soon be more seating outside, stop by and give them a try for lunch!

    2 item lunch special with chow mein, lemon grass pork, and steamed vegetables.
    Lisa T.

    I keep coming back for the lemongrass grilled pork so I can't speak to anything else just yet. I'm from the SGV, born and raised, and my Vietnamese flavor preferences lean Canto: this lemon grass pork tastes like home. It tastes like the thit nuong i grew up eating tastes like. Being specific because i think different communities cook their dishes differently so it comes down to preferences and what you're used to. I've been unimpressed by charbroiled pork at other spots in Sac so far because it's usually not enough charbroiled enough and too saucey or overly marinaded. I get the 2 item combo with chow mein and plain veggies. The two side items are on the lighter flavor profile side but for me they are the perfect balance with the pork. I'd definitely do the rice noodle w fish sauce except the portion is pretty large so fish sauce drenched vermicelli and lettuce wouldn't keep very well. I'm usually able to split my order into two different meals so it's quite a bit of food. Also love that it's made by an uncle and auntie. Support small businesses!

    Pork bah Mi.   Good sized.  Spicy

    Awesome bah Mi Sammy. Bread was soft meat well seasoned and the jalapeños were a nice addition. Nice peeps too. Very happy w food. Good value

    Shrimp Spring Rolls and Thai Tea
    Franny Z.

    This review is solely for the Spring Rolls. My friend brought me Spring Rolls and a Thai Tea. This is probably the best spring roll I have ever had. The peanut sauce even had a nice kick to it. The tea was yummy too. My friend ordered food and hated it that she tossed it. Not sure what she ordered.

    Pork Banh Mi
    Chris C.

    My favorite go to spot for lunch when I am in the office in DT Sac. I typically order the pork Banh Mi sandwich at Yummy Choice for lunch. Great lunch price and as you can see in the pic, they pack it with meat! So good!

I wish I took pictures of the interior, as it felt so intimate and the seats were comfortable. The food of course, are the stars of the show, and I've never been blown away from how good everything was. The Pad See Ew had a yummy smoky, wok hei flavor that not a lot of places incorporate. The ribeye is cooked perfectly, green curry has a nice coconut sweetness to it. And the laotian sausage, paired with their sauce and sticky rice hits the spot. This place was indeed comforting and my only regret is not trying more items. If you're craving southeast asian cuisine in an intimate atmosphere, I can't recommend this place enough.

Both packed a good amount of heat at the spicy level, which we loved. The Lao sausage was also super flavorful, but as soon as you cut it, the inside does fall apart a bit. It's a personal preference to have a denser sausage. Service was also ok. We found ourselves needing to call over the waitress a couple times, since we were just sitting waiting to order or get a box and check at the end. Flavors are worth coming back for tho.

Yes, today was our first. I'm a sucker for excellent customer service and Cafe Burma and Mikayla had me at HELLO. LOL NOTE: I DIDN'T DO ANY PRE- REVIEW UPON ARRIVING. The husband wanted a Monday Date night and who am I to say No. What we had: *Planta with Chicken Coconut Dip. This planta is a crossover of naan with Mochi like middle with the prefect crisp served with an amazing Chicken sauce. Yah...will be having this again. Hubby had most of it because I was saving my appetite for what's to come. *TeaLead Salad - Yes its a MUST. The fried seasoned garlic is the secret to why this salad hits the palate in the most perfect way. The dressing is oil based which wasn't over powering or even greasy. The peanut was tastefully done. Yes - I ate most of it. Fresh ingredients in every bite. *Chili Basil Beef - at first glance, it looked like Mongolian Beef but far from the taste. The cumin, ginger and chili flakes gave this dish the wow factor. Mind you, I dislike ginger pieces and didn't come across one piece so they must have used ginger powder which I appreciate. We all know the benefits of ginger and I feel like I got a dose of it without biting into one. *PadThai - we were warned that the Burmese way come with a hint of sweetness and this was definitely true but notoverpowering. Husband enjoyed it, me not so much. The dishes came with extra large prawns. You can tell the prawns we're seasoned first hand before getting tossed into the mix. DRINKS: Husband had the coconut monsoon (rum with coconut flakes and I had Bite Dog HAZY IPA - yum. Prime location - corner of 16th street and J, street parking. Restaurant was clean and with a bar and open kitchen concept. What I would have liked: I wish the aesthetic of the restaurant showcased the culture. Wish the dishes were served in a more traditional serving plates. My eyes eat first so I would have appreciated the extra touch but the TASTE definitely made up for it. Will definitely be back! Need to try a dessert next time. Thanks for having us Chef Burma.

Really comforting stewed meat and potatoes with a delicious curry sauce. Ordered mild and it not spicy at all. The tea leaf salad with cabbage was very refreshing and hit the spot.

Kado Asian Fusion is located on Broadway and cater to the lunch/dinner crowds. They are open from 12-8pm every day except Sundays. The inside was clean and had a decent amount of tables. We ordered at the counter and then sat at a table while we waited for our food to go. They offer bowls, tacos, nachos, rolls and sandwiches! I don't always know what to order at new places - so I liked that they had signs for specials as well as "favorites." We ordered the Rice with Teriyaki Chicken, Oliver's Favorite which was Spam Musubi and Spam and Bacon Fried Rice and Mom and Dad's Forbidden Feast. Everything looked and tasted really good! Obviously, it would have been much better had we actually eaten in the restaurant, but still no complaints once we got it home. Spam Musubi is one of my favorite things to eat so I could have downed like 5 of them! Portions were huge too - they even have a 100 year old teriyaki recipe! Overall, I would definitely come back and try other items! Staff were also very friendly, personable and gave great recommendations! Check them out!
