Urban Rolls — Restaurant in Rocklin

The menu was confusing as they had several items that were not available but were written just like the other stuff that was. The teas that were available were either watery (house tea) or so perfumey (Jasmine tea) that it was impossible to drink. The regular Thai tea was okay though. I drink Jasmine tea very frequently and this was just too much. The Bahn Mis were ok. The bread was ok. The "crispy" pork was tasty but very soft, I only got two crispy pieces in one half of the sandwich. There was 1 jalapeño on each half. The sauce was sweet and so were the pickled vegetables. The whole sandwich lacked salt and balance. My husband and I ordered the same style Bahn mi and had the same experience. My son got something else he didn't eat much of, but said it was good (he's 3 so he doesn't always eat food like this). Tje price was insane as we spent almost 50 for two sandwiches, two teas, 1 sprite and 1 order of steamed buns. The place i normally buy from is half the price and 5x as good. Overall it was just okay. Ill stick with driving down to sac for my Bahn mis and will get my Boba teas somewhere else. I may come back to try their rolls though. 🤔

Edit: customer service from the women there is top notch. They made me a second tea free of charge and said I could keep the first one, which didn't get drank, but was still...

Urban Rolls is a quick Vietnamese, Pho, kind of place. Located in the Nugget shopping center on Blue Oaks Blvd, Roseville, it's simple exterior ties to its very spartan decoration inside: bare walls and basic tables. While you can eat here, you might consider taking the food home.

We've eaten at dozens of Pho places, so wasn't sure what to expect here. Ordered vermicelli with chicken, wonton noodle soup and their "urban" shrimp spring rolls. All were good.

The vermicelli and wonton soup both had a ton of lettuce, yes, lettuce on top. With the vermicelli, you really needed to dig down to find the chicken. Vermicelli also had a bunch of bean sprouts, really too many, on the top.

The wonton noodle soup had a very good soup stock, but a total of 4 wontons in it.

Spring rolls were tasty, but the peanut sauce didn't have much of a peanut flavor.

All in all a good place, especially if you're local. A little less expensive than a full scale...

Ordered the Pho Beef noodle soup with Rare Steak, well done flank, and beef meatball. Also ordered the vermicelli noodles with crispy pork and lemon grass beef (extra $5) and popcorn chicken. Overall, the food was super good. Pho tasted fresh and portion size was solid for the price. Definitely above average pho in my opinion. The vermicelli noodle dish may not be for everyone but to me the key is in the sauce. It’s delicious when combined with it. Vegetables have flavor along with the meat though the beef is slightly tough. Popcorn chicken was solid but nothing too special it’s just a solid popcorn chicken. But add the vermicelli sauce and it’s delicious and ups the game. Recommend giving this restaurant a...
