50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Carmichael

“I go here about once every two weeks . I love the food or just for the shake with the boba . I recommend this restaurant to neighbors who live in the neighborhood and bring people from out of the state when visiting . The atmosphere and cleanliness is impeccable . The receptionist / waitress has got to be the most unfriendliness person I have ever met in my 84 yrs of life . It is impossible to even get a friendly smile let alone words or a “thank You” . It is a big turn off. I have neighbors who will not go there because of her. It is hard to ignore .“

“After a long day at work, my coworker and I decided to treat ourselves to pho. I can genuinely say that the atmosphere and service made the experience 100 times more comfortable and just what we were looking for. On top of that, the music playlist was fire. But most importantly, the pho was a 10/10 and the egg rolls! Price is reasonable for the current economy and even if on a budget like I was, the kids size is perfect just for that. Shoutout to Carina for her exceptional service! Would definitely come eat here again“

“had lunch with the girlfriend and we both enjoyed our lunch. will be back and recommend all to try 🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Bún bò Huế is delicious, convenience location, great service 👍🏼“

“The place is always clean The people are always nice The pho is fire I love the number 33 sandwich My family and I drove all the way from the mountains to have mama’s. It feels like home“

“The best Vietnamese Pho cuisine ever!!!“

“I've been coming here since their old location since 2002. I come for the food, and the sense that these are my "aunties" making the food. I don't know another place that sells pork belly banh mi, but here. If there is, I doubt it would fill up the sandwich as much as they do here. The duck salad and lotus root salad is so refreshing too!“

“Everything we ordered was good! Will definitely comeback ❤️❤️❤️“

“Came in a little before closing and they didn't hesitate to make my order. It was my 1st time. Brought my food home and it was more than enough to share. It was so much food and so delicious 😋 definitely coming back to check out some more items.“

“Great and friendly service. Pho was amazing, meat was tender, and tasted delicious. Service was fast, and attentive. Had chili oil available for that extra heat. Potsticker were nice, and crispy. The bread on the banh mi was incredible as well. Had adult beverages available, but did not partake in those. Will definitely be returning.“

“My wife and I found that the quality of food and service were absolutely fantastic!!“

“Hands down best pho in Sacramento. They were very welcoming, staff was friendly and the overall vibe felt good. It felt like I was eating a family members house. Prices are great and food is always so fresh. You have to try pho city 😋. Trust me you won't regret it.“

“The food is excellent. It’s always fresh. And always hot.“

“Easy to miss small corner restaurant serving up viet food. I've been driving by this place since moving to Sacramento. It doesn't look like much from outside, but oh my, it is great. Came yesterday for the first time now, finding myself sitting and waiting for my food a second day in a row. The inside is surprisingly nice, clean, and maybe recently remodeled. In Sacramento, you're always close to some great vietnamese food, and I am always on the lookout for the next best bowl of Bun Bo Hue. This place may have just been the best I've had. The broth was rich and complex, and the fresh herbs on the side were a little different than other places. The stainless steel bowl they serve in keeps it piping hot for the whole meal. The stand-out here was the noodles. I've just gotten used to the noodles just seeming like a filler ingredient alongside the typical Bun Bo ingredients. Not here. The noodles were firm, chewy, and had a bounce to them I hadn't experienced anywhere else. The egg rolls were great and the service friendly. Today, I had the beef stew noodle soup bo kho, I think, so I could take advantage of the lunch specials. It and the chicken wings were great. If i had to recommend one or the other, I would say get the Bun Bo Hue. This will be my new restaurant obsession for my favorite vietnamese food.“

“I had a great experience here. My friend loved the pho and I enjoyed the fresh rolls (GREAT peanut sauce) and tomato & tofu. There was some confusion bc of the language barrier but we ended up getting some free and very tasty soft tofu pudding. I want to go back soon to try the “egg” rolls and get noodles. I forgot cash so I had to go to the atm at the store across the parking lot. Everyone who worked there was so nice to us too!“

“I have been here several times by myself, today was the first time that I took one of my Asian friends the true test. I am glad to say that I was correct this place is above average in food quality and just below perfect in customer service. I definitely would recommend Pho Viet. They were definitely observing social distance procedures, and it didn't effect the great customer service.“

“We came specifically for the variety of dishes that weren’t easy to come by. The banh beo was rated a 9/10, the clam appetizer salad was unique and delicious that came in either a small or large portion, and the Bun Bo Hue was tasty but less salt-forward. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience to try some unique dishes. The restaurant team were friendly and kind, originating from our family’s home town which made the experience additionally endearing. Everything was clean and organized, with thoughtful and humble decor.

Note: They've also discontinued the Bun Mam and Chao Long from the menu (Oct 2025)“

“great pho, awesome service..will be returning to try more. highly suggest egg roll deluxe“

“I came here on a whim once with my mother for a quick bite and had the most amazing meal I have had in a long time I highly recommend the fried tofu it’s so silky and crisp with some bomb ass sauce for dipping its melt in your mouth goodness and the pho is divine I don’t really make reviews but they deserve it also came here for my birthday and they were so cutely decorated for Christmas time and the service is amazing and the jasmine tea is so soothing definitely come here if you want comfort food or you are getting over a cold“

“I randomly stopped by Dat Ky and tried “hu tieu nam vang” and “cha gio.” I was surprised about the flavor because it's really similar to when I tried it in Vietnam. It made me feel like I lived in VN. Definitely I will come back to this restaurant, and I extremely recommend it to everyone if you want to try the authentic Vietnamese restaurant.“

“This is the best place in town for pho! I come here once a week . lol! Finally we found the best pho! Thank you!!! I can only finish half a bowl though. I have to bring the leftovers home. Great service!“

“We ordered two different bowls of pho and both were delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, did not need to add any additional sauce. The egg rolls were cooked to a perfect crisp. There was barely any customer service but the food and prices were reasonable.“

“The best Chinese food i have had and the servers are very polite. Inside the restaurant the surroundings are more than you expect after you pay most times I pay less than $20 for me and my wife. Never had a long wait and as nice as it all is not too many people there always quite.“

“Thanh Son Tofu is one of the most famous tofu shops in the Sacramento area. They offer the best tofu products and quick and easy service. The store is always bustling on the weekends. The parking lot is a little too small for the business they have. Fortunately, most customers receive very fast service, and the parking space is free up quickly.

Vegetarian options: Most of the items at Thanh Son Tofu are excellent for Vegetarian

Parking: The parking lot is pretty busy on the weekends

Wheelchair accessibility: The store can be accessed by wheelchair“

“This place is a very good spot. Very well rounded in all the food. The portions are good and very reasonable for a dinner date or just lunch out with the girls. My kids like it, that’s how I found out about it. The waiters understand the orders well and are one point with the orders and food.“

“The #3 with chicharrones always hits the spot. Always look forward to coming in for a bowl of delicious noodles. I stop by one of there other restaurants in San Jose and let’s just say it wasn’t the best experience. This one hands down is far better.“

“Absolutely Delicious food 😋“

“10/12/2021 Recommend? Yes. Let's get straight to the point: BEST VEGAN BUN BO HUE. That's it. I'm Vietnamese and since my vegan journey of more than 2 years I haven't been able to find a satisfactory bun bo hue. My favorite ones ever have always been in Viet Nam at a little stall in the market or the neighborhood house that makes it to sell. Here I ordered bun bo hue and cha gio. Do take my review with a grain of salt because I had been hungry for daysssss, well really just 1 day because I was on a train. Lol. The bun bo hue here comes with a paste and you should definitely add it to your bowl. It has banana blossom as a veggie to add, but in addition to that I would also love some morning glory. The broth was well seasoned and not overly sweet like a lot of over bun bo hue and the mushrooms, tofu, and "meats" have well absorbed the flavor of the broth too. The cha gio (eggrolls, spring rolls) were fine. I didn't hate it, but I didn't think they were extra great either.“

“I came here for lunch with a fellow coworker. First time here at this Cafe. From the outside it doesn’t look like much but the inside looks well put together. The decor and dining area looks charming and inviting. Seating is self serve.

We got a table and was greeted almost immediately and provided menus to look through. Our server was nice and polite.

The menu options are simpler compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. Upon ordering our food arrived hot from the kitchen with about 15 minutes.

The food came out tasty and very delicious. The egg rolls were crunchy and yummy. My vermicelli noodle with chicken and shrimp turned out well.

Between the lunch order and the two Vietnamese coffee and side order of egg rolls total came to be about $65 with tax and tip which is on the higher side for lunch for two.

Here’s the overall score for Wondering Cafe:

Cafe dining space (5/5). Service (5/5). Food (5/5). Drinks (5/5). Value to price ratio (4/5). Over all experience (4.4/5).

Wonderful Cafe is great place to stop by for a quick bite to eat. It’s a charming little place as others have said. Expect great service but be prepared to pay a higher premium for the food. The food won’t disappoint. Will definitely stop by again and try out some of the other items on the menu.

“Best of it's kind in the area, and more! I used to have to drive 2 hours to get this quality food, but that place isn't as good as it used to be. This is the best Chinese I know of in California!

Great prices! Each average $13, and give you plenty of food. We're estimating at least one more meal worth of leftovers we're taking home! Well worth the price!

My new favorite for honey walnut shrimp and wor wonton soup! Great decor, quiet chill oldies music, wonderful padded booths, top notch! My new #1 for Chinese & Vietnamese!

Everything is perfectly cooked, and loaded! Everything has rare flavor, not bland like so many places. The meat actually tastes like it should, the veggies are flavorful, as is the broth. All the vegetables are nicely cooked or too soft. This is excellence!“

“menu is light, simple and easy to decide. Service was friendly and fast! Beef pho broth was tasty too.“

“We came for the fresh made rice noodles, it’s pretty good, my favorite is the fried yam that came with the plate. We got a pho combo and add on pig blood. Everything is good and match the price. If you are in the area, definitely give a try for the fresh food here.“

“I come here often with my bf and with the family. Im pescatarian, so having options is a must. Priced very fair.
Some of the family favorites are:
1. Beef Noodle Phô - No meat just veggies
2. Flank Beef Phô
3. Shrimp Vermicelli Bowl
4. House Fried Rice
5. Spring Rolls - Shrimp/Chicken/Tofu
6. Egg Rolls
7. Crab and Cream Cheese Wonton

Honestly you cant go wrong here. We also like to sit outside, but note it may take longer to get some attention at first out there.

Bonus is that they take cash, card, venmo, and zelle. No Tap to pay.“

“You can never go wrong with the traditional #1 & #2 which are the meat loaf and combination. The #3 grilled pork is our family favorite.

I’ve been going to this place for awhile now and have only decide to write a review today. I don’t know if management change, but their meat portion for the banh mi isn’t the same as it used to be. I used to get 6 slices on meat loaf (#2) no matter small or large. Lately they’ve been skimping on the meat.

Today I decided to try #7, bbq pork char sui. As I ate it on my way home, there was no pate nor jalapeño and the char sui was dry and cold. So I would not recommend #7. I thought the #7 would be good because I like char sui and their grilled pork is always warm when you get them.“

“Everything is good and i am happy with dinner here. Voted 👍👍👍“

“I’ve been going to this place for almost a year and I enjoy every aspect of it. I enjoy eating delicious food (perfect in the heat and cold). The people working there are nice and finish making the food at a decent speed. Love bringing my friends here whether they’re also from Sac State or at a different college.“

“Been supporting this place most of my teens and college years, I recommend this place to anyone looking for a lot of variety such as , pho , Banh Mi , snacks , drinks and anyone looking for ready to go food. Come early sometimes lines can be long. Expect delays too , sometimes they are short staff and get help from security which really is a great help to them.“

“I got the bun bo hue it was really good on point. Very fast and the staff was really nice!“

“My first visit here. I enjoyed the vermicelli with chicken dish was nicely prepared and came with a serving of their sauce mixture. I thought it was very good and the chicken had a nice flavor and was not dried out. I nearly did not go in because the storefront was blackened and was a bit surprised when the door opened.“

“been yrs since I've dined. Will certainly be back on my circuit of restaurants. Great food service. very enjoyable“

“reasonable price and good goods. staffs are nice“

“Delicious phở gà and miền gà at awesome prices. This place has a reputation as one of the best Phở spots in Sacramento and I agree with that statement.

Expect to wait between 15-40 minutes for your meal. Service could be improved by providing a menu and reducing wait times.“

“5 stars! For quality of food. Every dish we had tasted delicious. Brought us back to OC places, and better than some of the central Viet dishes in SoCal. From the house made sauce fried chicken wings (kids enjoyed), to the ca canh chua, mango salad was refreshingly good, and the morning glory was very nice. Didn't try the pho, but kids and bro enjoyed. Bro said the banh xeo was a little hard. It just took a REALLY long time for them to prepare the food--one cook that day maybe? But food was very high quality. Friendly service. Can get a little loud inside, looks like it hosts big groups and events, they was a karaoke group in the back.“

“They're better than Ramen 101 and Ramen 101 has a higher rating, which is crazy to me given that the broth here is tastier! I don't know much about Pho, however this place offers good food at a good price and sometimes that is all you need. Especially in this economy. Who doesn't love pho on a budget that is worth your time and money. Definitely give this place a try and if you do, rate it higher too!“

“A group of 40s #privateevent #celebration #congrat!“

“Great place to enjoy hot pot and KBBQ. Price is $+5 for both options which brings your total to about $37.99 per person for dinner on the weekend. They have a great self serve sauce bar and conveyer belt for your hot pot items. They bring out meats in a timely fashion too. I’ve been to lunch and dinner and honestly dinner only had a few more items that maybe worth it.“

“We’re regulars at our favorite pho spot in town. #20 is my go-to (no inside for me). The staff already knows our order before we even sit down! If you’re looking for authentic, delicious pho with amazing service, you need to check this place . You will not regret it ✨️“

“We ordered some Oysters. And the oysters were delicious. ✨FYI- BUT the workers & order taker, you guys DEFINITELY need to have better communication with your staff & workers. We waited 20mins at the restaurant while the staff members were clueless on our order that we ordered 45mins beforehand. Not knowing we have to go to Oyster Bar in Natomas to pick up. We came from EG. And the staff at the restaurant had no clue & didn’t believe us our text conversation we had with the employers, the ones we contacted for the Oysters order. After about 30 mins wait. We finally got our oysters. But we made sure we counted them. Becuz the employees were NOT friendly. And seemed like they were bothered. But Happy 4th!!“
