Noodles in Elk Grove, CA

“Went to eat there about 3 PM. The place was empty so we had the entire restaurant to ourselves. Ordered A14 - the Spicy Beef Brisket with Rice Noodles. Out waitress brought out a plate of items to add which included tofu, wood ear, lettuce, ham, green onion and raw egg and some other items hard to translate along with a separate plate filled with cooked beef brisket and a bowl of cooked noodles. A few minutes later she brought out a large bowl of boiling broth kept hot with fuel gel from underneath. I threw everything in starting with egg and dug in. The broth had a rich flavor, like it had been stewing for a long time and was just spicy enough without causing discomfort and not too salty either. I stirred everything up, grabbed a piece of beef brisket and shoved it in my mouth, preparing for a long chewing session. To my pleasant surprise, the brisket nearly melted in my mouth. Even the tendon was easy to consume. My SO had the dry noodle bowl that was also delicious but slightly lacking in cool cucumber to offset the spice.“

“great chef (Sam)and great food👌🥰“

“My son and I stopped for a late Saturday lunch and were pleasantly surprised by the relaxed atmosphere—it wasn’t too busy, which made for a peaceful dining experience. There was only one server working, but he handled everything efficiently.

I ordered the seafood ramen. It was enjoyable, though I was hoping for a bit more depth of flavor—but to be fair, I’m no ramen expert.

My son had the Teriyaki chicken and really liked it. The portion was generous—two cups of white rice, steamed broccoli, and a scoop of Hawaiian-style macaroni salad on the side. I wish I could share a photo of his plate, but he’s in it and prefers to stay behind the scenes.

Overall, a solid spot for a casual meal with good portions and service.“

“First time trying today and was an amazing experience. The hostess was very patient with us and answered our questions about the menu.

Now I know why this is a Michelin recommended restaurant. Will definitely be coming back soon.“

“We ate before our camera did. The food was delicious. We just happened to be in the parking lot and decided to stop by. Our waiter was great and recommended everything we ordered. The soup dumpling 10/10, the seasame chicken 10/10, the beef and onion meat pie 10/10. We will be back soon!“

“I’d been meaning to try this place for a while—and finally made it out with a friend, a colleague, and another friend (yes, a full squad). I ordered the oxtail pho, and let me just say: wow. The broth was so good—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. This was honestly the first time I’ve had pho where I didn’t feel the need to load it up with sriracha or chili oil. I added just a tiny bit of hot sauce out of habit, but the broth was strong enough to stand on its own. That’s rare.

The oxtail was tender, the noodles were just right, and everything was served hot and fresh. Service was great—friendly and quick. The atmosphere was welcoming and had a good flow of people, but it wasn’t overwhelming or too loud. Just a good, chill spot to enjoy a great meal.

My friends also enjoyed what they ordered, and I definitely plan to come back and try more options—next time I might branch out and try a different style of pho.

If you’re a pho lover or just want to taste broth done right, this spot is highly recommended. Can’t believe I waited this long to try it!“

“Worth the wait. Friendly staff. Food comes out quickly. Excellent food.“

“They have great Boba my daughter loves it we come from out of town to get it for her. I love their mangonada.“

“One of the only places I will eat sushi“

“For the most part the food was tasty. It was a bit quiet with roughly 15 patrons total, eating an early dinner.
The Peking ribs were a bit sweet and slightly overcooked. The shrimp and beef dishes, along with the noodles were savory.
The hot and sour soup was very delicious.“
