A cozy place to hang out with friends and family. All the foods were really delicious with a reasonable price. It's quite a limited option for a Vietnamese restaurant but I then they have time to focus on the quality of the foods. Definitely coming back for more.
Saigon Ơi is a lively, bustling spot that feels perfect on a rainy day or honestly any day. The restaurant sits on a curved corner with lots of windows, so it gets great natural light during the day, paired with warm interior lighting that keeps things cozy. It can get noisy when packed since tables are close together, but you can still hold a conversation. We ordered the Bánh Canh Cua and the weekend special Bún Riêu. Both were beautifully presented, served boiling hot in clay pots, which really elevated the experience. This might be the best presentation of Vietnamese food I have seen in Sacramento. The Bún Riêu was outstanding and one of the best I have had outside of Vietnam. The crab udon tasted just like the versions in Saigon. Portions look modest but are very satisfying. What really stood out was the authenticity. You can see real crab meat, snails, and quality ingredients throughout. It is clear they do not cut corners, which I truly appreciate as someone familiar with Vietnamese cuisine. Service was attentive and thoughtful. Our server gave good recommendations, checked in at the right time, and immediately brought a high chair when we arrived with a toddler. Tables were cleaned quickly between guests. The dining area was clean, though the bathroom could use a bit more attention. Very family friendly, but be mindful that dishes are served extremely hot and staff are constantly moving hot food through the dining room. A small step stool in the restroom would be a great touch for kids. Overall, a great spot for brunch or lunch with family or friends. If you are looking for authentic southern Vietnamese flavors in Sacramento, this place is a must. I would absolutely return. Go early if you want to avoid the weekend wait.
5/5 spot in south sac, menu changes each week. But no worries it ALWAYS has something good on there. I got the crab udon, feels like there is always something still in the pot after finding so many treasures inside already 🧧🧧🧧
Serious food safety concern: I found black mold in my dish and experienced a stomachache the following day. This wasn’t the first time—I've had similar issues after eating here before but gave them the benefit of the doubt. Finding mold confirms a serious lack of cleanliness and raises concerns about overall food safety standards. While the restaurant removed the item from our bill, I would have much preferred to pay for a clean, safe meal. This experience was unacceptable and should be a wake-up call for better hygiene and quality control.
We had the Salted Egg Fried Rice, Crab Meat Udon Soup, and Shaken Beaf (Ree Rice) All dishes were excellent in terms of taste, with a great presentation. It came out very quickly too, in less than ten minutes. Our server was very friendly to us, and willing to accommodate our requests. I'd come back any time I'm in Sacramento!
