Bánh Cuốn Tây Hồ Restaurant — Restaurant in Sacramento

My girlfriend and I chose to eat here for an early valentine's day celebration since we both work on the 14th. A classmate of mine who is Hmong recommend this restaurant when I asked her where the absolute best Hmong, Thai and/or Laos restaurant was in Sacramento. I can say without a doubt that this restaurant meets that ridiculously high bar and has become our new favorite local eatery. The hostess who seated us was very friendly, she took our orders, served our food, cleared our plates and range us up after our wonderful meal while being kind and patient the whole time. The restaurant itself was a great cozy atmosphere to enjoy some warm tom kha gai on a rainy evening. Even moreso because the tom kha gai we had was perhaps the best example of the dish I've ever had. The flavors were all full bodies yet none overpowered another, the perfect blend of sweet and savory with the kaffir adding a wonderful aftertaste. We ordered the crab Rangoon, an item that is often poorly executed but this was anything but, you could tell immediately that it had just come out of the pan as it was light and flakey with tons of flavor with each bite. The pad prik king was last but not least and was as full of flavor as the other 2 dishes and seemed like it had just finished cooking moments before it arrived at our table. The entire dinner was incredibly delicious and as soon as we walked out of the door my girlfriend and I both said that we think we've found our new go-to restaurant. We love supporting local businesses and I highly highly recommend that others try a few dishes from their menu, you won't be disappointed. We ordered our dishes with a spice level of 3 which was the perfect level if you're looking for enough heat to notice it but not so much that it overpowers the...

I come to Tay Ho a couple times a month. Most of the regular Vietnamese options are availble including pho, bun bo hue, vermicelli bowls and broken rice plates. What they really seem to specialize in tho are the bahn cuon (its in the name of the place, lol). For those unfamiliar its rice rolls that can come with a variety of ingredients such as various meat and veggie options. I usually get one of the special combos that comes with a wide selection. Then you stuff the rolls how you like, top with some cilantro or mint then dip in the fish sauce. Very tasty and light, great for a hot summer day. I finally tried their banh xeo. Their version was a bit greasy for my liking and had unpeeled shrimp. I dont mind eating shrimps with their shells on, but I know thats a turn...

This was our 1st dine-in experience in November 2020 since the pandemic lockdown in March 2020. We were surprised they put a pitcher of fish sauce on our table, one to be shared with multiple customers and multiple parties. My wife loved her rice rolls and my son enjoyed his chicken pho. I liked my pho with rare steak, but the steak was fattier than I have had anywhere else. Overall, we loved our food. Service was efficient but not the friendliest. I was especially surprised and confused when I thanked the man coming to clear our table as we stood up to leave. Instead of a thank you or a simple nod, he gave me a backhanded wave, the kind you give unwanted salesmen or an unwelcome cat at your door to...
