Well, this is a bittersweet entry. We were regulars of this location since they opened. Were heartbroken when they were forced to close. All of the staff we came to love were now dispersed. And sadly tonsay were alot of menu options. Upon reopening several items did not return (pork chop and rice plate, Bohn Mi Tacos just to name a few). And while the Pho is amazing, we’ll now have to resume our trek to the midtown location to satisfy our cravings. Sorry guys. Not sure why this decision was made to alter what worked before. Best of luck though.
Glad that this place is open again in Natomas! We’ve walked by a lot and it’s been closed for awhile. They’re doing 50% off specialty pho from 10pm-12am until January 15, so most of the pho will be $10 or less. I think staff is still in training because service was a little slow. We ordered the cheese wontons, Vietnamese coffee with pandan cream, oxtail pho, and alley pho. You get 4 cheese wontons for $10 which feels a little pricy but they’re nice and crispy with a tangy chili sauce. The pho is really tasty and the broth is flavorful. The tendon in the oxtail pho is soft and cooked perfectly. The oxtail itself is a little small and has more fat than meat. Something I’ve never had at a Vietnamese restaurant before - the bean sprouts were cooked and warm instead of being served raw.
This is a cute little local spot in North Sacramento. The decor is really cute and the food presentation is great too. The food itself is very tasty. The cocktails and mocktails never disappoint. My recommendation is the beef shaken plate. It’s a great place for a date or just to hang out. They do have a full service bar. The only reason that I’m not giving it five stars is the noise level sitting in the center of the restaurant. If you sit in the more cozier areas by the bar, it is better. The music was quite loud and because it’s an open floor plan it was a little hard to hear the conversation at my own table
The food was great. Excellent Bahn Mi with charbroiled pork. Saigon Alley Pho was good except for the Oxtail - 90% bone. Service was ok. Not greeted right away and never offered a 2nd drink. Maybe because it's new? I would definitely go back even with the steep prices.
Made a reservation for a group of 9 for a weekday dinner. *note reservations for a large group requires a card We ordered cocktails including the Thai tea, steak, fried rice, garlic noodles, green beans, egg roles, and banh mi sandwich. Pros: -our waitress was very friendly -the restaurant is super cute, very well decorated -food came out pretty quick and was fresh -the cocktails were yummy! Cons: -felt the flavor was lacking and everything could’ve used more seasoning so we had to use sauces and chili flakes salt & pepper etc to add more flavor. We were told how good the garlic noodles were but it was missing that distinct garlic flavor so that was disappointing Overall I’d give it another try
