Pho Vung Tau Bay — Restaurant in Citrus Heights

The restaurant is small at least 10 tables. Self seated. Meun it short with no picture. Our waiter was quick to take our order. He bought our chilly & pickling jalapeños/garlic which it was not great. Jalapeños/garlic was too blend & sweet. Oil chilly wasn't spicy enough or have favor just tasted more like fried garlic in oil.

We ordered p1 & p5 plus side of fried calamari. Fried calamari was dried & overcooked, blend & no salt. The first vietnamese restaurant, in 20+ years, serves tarter sauce instead of sweet chilly sauce. Our pho came out quick. Broth was disappointing. It didn't taste like traditional broth. Lack in favor. Needed to add a bunch of condiments to cover the lack of favor. Careful put in your side of veggies. Thai basil had a tiny worm on one of the leaves I just pick it off and put it on the side. Portion of the noodles & meat were perfect. Meats was tender. Tendon was on the middle-tough side. Never had tendon tasted that tough in any vietnamese restaurant I had eaten.

This is more on the white vietnamese restaurant than traditional vietnamese restaurants. Lack in favors, overcooked on calamari & undercooked on tendon. Price is right for portion, but it is not traditional enough for me...

First time coming to the place, been around for two years now. Sacramento has lots of pho place to dine at so choosing one can be difficult at times. We where both excited to eat at a new one. My girlfriend got the bowl of noodles with all the toppings on top. She really enjoyed it( when we got home she was very sick and thats the only thing we ate all day) I got the butterfly shrimp appetizer, they where fresh crispy and yummy the dipping sauce was sweet chili with little bit of sriracha and the calamari appetizer was in a herb batter the calamari tasted very fresh no fishy flavor. don't know the sauce but a white cream sauce in the Middle with a couple slices of I thought it was pretty tasty, the spring roll appetizer I found the peanut sauce very odd almost at gelatinous consistency almost like snot and had absolutely no peanut did not like it the spring rolls where good tho. They only had Corona and Modelo beer options I thought I was a little strange that only had Latino beer they need to sell Tsingtao!!!!! Man its so 👍. When you walked into this place you can smell the pho both cooking thanks for reading...

a friend and I had a craving for Vietnamese today. We found the spot nearby and liked the reviews. Located in a strip mall next to Starbucks. Easy access and parking.

What I really like about this place was the accessibility, parking, everything looked clean and relatively new, food and service. Most importantly they Said yes to everything that I wanted. Great attention to detail.

The space is roomy and open. About three other tables being served at 3:00 p.m. during the week.

David was our waiter and answered all the questions about the history of the restaurant, (open about a year), and how they got through the pandemic.

We ordered large pho #5, Thai tea, spring roll and 2 small bowls of broth to sample. (Very nice touch) . Fantastic hot chili oil with infusion of garlic. Even the water was good, filtered with a bit of lemon. David bagged leftover pho to go. Again a very nice touch.

I highly recommend this place and will be a repeat customer for sure. No disappointments. They sure know how to treat...
