Sit Lo Saigon — Restaurant in Elk Grove

Was orange named after the color or after the 🍊 fruit? I’m not sure, but what I’m sure is that I love pho.

Let’s begin this journey, a friend told me that pho was good and, me being a single celled organism, never tried it. So we went and boy oh boy, the place was amazing and tasty

Atmosphere, Let’s begin with the atmosphere, this place has a wonderful atmosphere and I love the design that they have on the walls and the way they have the tables set up allow for space to walk around. The place isn’t super spacious but it’s organized well enough where it’s nice.

Service, The service was amazing and I forgot what pho I got but my change was like 60 cents and I got a dollar back, so that’s wsp. I seen some people “complain” about having to fetch their own water or tea but brother, that is barely a 3-7 second walk. I don’t understand that. The person who helped me, (forgot his name) was super helpful and explained the different type of noodles cause it was my first time coming and was nice about it. 🐌

Food The food was really good, I loved it alot. The soup part was so good, genuinely never thought that combination of flavor would burst like that. It was just so amazing. And the noodles. Like man, this was amazing. I loved it a lot. The beef, was amazing, perfectly cooked, but I felt that it lacked seasoning or flavor compared to the rest of the soup. Now because it’s my first time, maybe this is how it’s supposed to be, but I really don’t know. I apologize if that’s how it’s supposed to be. The sauces with the beef however were exquisite.

Def one of the best things I have tried and def something I’d try again. Loved everything about the place and the customer service. Also I want to try the fried donut they have,...

The food was fine. It was average, but you're paying a Elk Grove price ($15/bowl). It's a one size bowl only so you pay for whatever size they give you. It wasn't small, but wasn't big, more on the medium side of other pho places.

We came in with a group of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids) and bought food accordingly. I paid $125 dollars. The food came out promptly and that was fine. But it was the customer service that was bad. Right after we ate, like literally when I put my spoon down, the servers were standing over us. I had one male server circle our table constantly looking at us. One server came by our table and kept rearranging things at least 4 times within a span of 5 minutes.

We were waiting for my daughter to come back from the restroom so we didn't want to leave yet, but they made us feel like we needed to get up right away. Because the other diners were between 2-4 people, they didn't care to bother them, but because our group was bigger, they made us feel like we needed to leave. The moment we got up and started walking towards the exit, a swarm of 3 servers swooped in and almost ran into my daughter. We were literally there for 35 minutes from sitting, eating to getting up to leave. What a joke.

I will never come back and patronize this place. You can find better pho at Pho Ivy, Quan Nem Ninh Hoa...

This place looks big from the outside. When you walk in there is a narrow aisle to the front counter. Sadly they were out of Vietnamese coffee.

Vietnamese coffee seems to be their main focus for drinks as there's different flavors available. I got the Thai Tea and Lychee Lemonade. The Thai Tea tasted normal, I think it could have used more sweets. The Lychee Lemonade was unique, it was carbonated and had pieces of lychee in the drink. There is also water near the front counter towards the West wall. There are glass cups and pitchers of water.

I ordered the Bun Bo #4 (+$1). It was very good. The taste was well put together. It had a great balance. This bowl is great to add some more spice. Lime is provided if a more sour taste is desired.

Once you order your food it comes out very quickly. It only took about 5 minutes for the food to come out. The customer service is exceptional. I was very happy as each staff is friendly and they asked if we needed anything else.

I wish there were some dry options as there are additional meat...
