Cố Đô | Vietnamese Restaurant — Restaurant in Sacramento

In a nutshell; If you're craving some good viet. Food and don't want to wait too long to get seated or after ordering, this is a good place to consider.

If you've been to any viet. Food establishment, you'll notice most of them seem to give off a very particular ambiance and feel to it that the moment you walk in you'd immediately be like, yup this fits the bill, and this place has that. Parking wasn't all that difficult, was immediately seated, and Food didn't take too long to arrive after ordering. The food was good. Always liked that a small bowl option in most viet. Places is always enough to satiate my hunger, and this place is the same. Unfortunately, none of the other drink options was available at the time besides soda and tea, but nonetheless, the food was pretty good. The service is what you'd expect of that of a local southeast Asia establishment so they won't always be coming by asking if everything's alright, so may have to kind of call upon them which I honestly don't mind but just to note, they are still accommodating and still meet you with a smile.

Great presentation but severely lacking in flavor and quality. More details below but overall was a sad meal that left me unsatisfied

Vermicelli noodle: dry, sauce wasn’t good(idk how you can mess up sauce for vermicelli noodles) noodles were a little hard, shrimp had tough, dry texture like it was old?

eggrolls: fresh, one of the better options but lacked dipping sauce

rice cake: wayyyyy too tough and chewy, one of those things you spit out after chewing after a few seconds. Definitely lacked flavor! Wasn’t sweet or salty, & very oily with green onion

Hainanese chicken rice: 100% needed salt. Again lacked flavor in both the chicken and rice. I was rly looking forward to this dish specifically and was disappointed. The sauce had an odd taste and the flavor profile didn’t match...

They have the best bun rieu, shrimp and pork spring rolls and chicken porridge! Their fruit shake is very good and fresh too! I love eating here and wish I lived closer so I could eat here all the time. I just wish they didn’t make the bun rieu so oily, it’s good but way too oily! That’s my only small complaint about this Vietnamese restaurant! Love my favorites here, definitely eat here! Good quality and a casual vibe and decently priced food! I’m Vietnamese and you should definitely...
