Noodles in Sacramento, CA

“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!“

“Pipo is unique in that it has Thai & Ramen both! I stopped in for a quick lunch in between meetings and was very happy with the food, service, and pricing. For spicy lovers, you can adjust your level and spicy actually means spicy here. Their Thai tea selection is excellent as well. If you want to support a local small business run by a wonderful family, then this place is definitely worth a stop!“

“So happy for our first time to dine at JP Thai kitchen today ! The food is delicious . We ordered Papaya salad , pad see ew & panang curry . Our server is so polite , good customer service . We look forward to coming back soon. Thank you !“

“First time eating at Noodles and Co. Had the dish with the two peppers displayed on the menu. In my opinion, it only needed one...lol. Visited mid day, mid week. Wasn't busy. The staff was friendly and helpful to this newbie so yeah...will eat here again!“

“Fantastic dim sum and noodles. I got the classics, such as siu mai and xiao long bao, and a bowl of mapo tofu. The tofu was szechuan style, so it was full of that delicious numbing flavor. The food was served quickly and service was so friendly. I will definitely be back when im in the area.“

“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.“

“There is so much incredible Vietnamese food in Sacramento but I constantly find myself coming back here for beef pho. They cram so much flavor into the broth but it is still light and gentle.

This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion.“

“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“

“I recently moved to Sacramento, and on my first night here — surrounded by boxes and completely exhausted — I ordered delivery from Buddha Bowls and Rolls. I got the Street Tofu and a noodle bowl with vegan bulgogi, and honestly… it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Yes, I was starving, but it was so flavorful, fresh, and satisfying that I couldn’t believe how good it was.

The food is simple but done perfectly — every bite was packed with flavor and freshness. A few weeks later, I brought my sisters, their kids, and our parents to eat there in person, and they all loved it too. Definitely a family hit and one of my go-to spots now in Sacramento!“

“Found a new local favorite pho place! This place is tucked away in a plaza but totally worth the find.

The pho broth is on point, but they have a secret sauce that is mind slowly delicious!

Would come back and be a regular here!“

“Excellent than originally in Thailand“

“Twin Lotus Thai has the best Thai food anywhere and that it is also a live music venue makes it all the more special and appealing. I try to go at least once a week to enjoy both the excellent food plus wonderful music experiences. Dr Joe, the manager, is the most wonderful pianist and he encourages and inspires musicians and singers to perform. Please go experience the delight that is Twin Lotus Thai!“

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

“No-frills, fast-casual spot serving the best guilin rice noodles in this part of town. Most of the patrons were Chinese.

There’s a self-service bar of pickles, chilies and crispy toppings for your bowl of noodles or rice. Their specialty is the Guilin Rice noodles, which comes with sliced pork and crispy pork belly. It’s a delicious combinations of flavors and textures.

The ladies working behind the counter are very sweet and friendly. Mandarin and English speaking.

BONUS: no tipping here! You can eat well for around $16 and serving sizes are pretty generous.“

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

“We had dinner for the first time the other night and everything was excellent. I was the only Vegan in our group and they had quite a few vegan options. I had for starters the crispy tofu and spring rolls, also the Pad Thai and the rice mango dessert. Our waiter was on top of things and it was just an all-around great experience. Told my daughter because she and her husband are vegan. We will definitely be back“

“The best Vietnamese Pho cuisine ever!!!“

“Soku is a very cute restaurant with tasty ramen, udon, and sando options. I ordered the spicy black garlic ramen and shred spicy edamame with my friends. I thought the broth was delicious, came out piping hot, the meat was a bit fatty, but the meal was very filling. It wasn’t super heavy in garlic flavor which was ok and I added a little bit of chili oil for more spice which was great. The spicy edamame was delicious and came with little pieces of peppers and onions. My friend got the beef udon and I would definitely get that next time because it was amazing and super flavorful!

We luckily got a table quickly because it was semi busy and parking was very difficult. It’s located in a busy area near other restaurants so make time to find a spot to park. The staff were nice but didn’t answer the phone earlier in the day when we called. I would definitely come back.“

“Excellent service and food!“

“This was my first time visiting this place. The seating area is spacious. I came in in early dinner and luckily it was not busy yet. Best jja jang myun in sacramento. The jja jang myun had that perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet, with chewy noodles and for me the sauce was lighter than other places I’ve been too.

Service was quick and friendly , and everything. Came out hot and fresh. The place is clean casual and definitely worth stopping by if you are craving solid Korean Chinese comfort dishes.“

“Honestly a hidden gem that we discovered a week ago. Been back already with a bigger group and it was just as good. Probably the best Chinese restaurant in sac at this point. Their duck has amazing flavor and crispy skin, the house noodles tastes fresh with a great texture and the salt baked chicken is great too with the ginger scallion sauce. They have a few really good off menu dishes too that we all enjoyed. The staff is incredibly sweet and attentive and the place is clean and comfortable. We will be back soon with more family and friends.“

“Kiwi juice with Boba is so good my favorite.

For some reason I thought this was the same as lollicup lol but this is the restaurant side. Never been here before, the lady that answered the phone when I called didn’t really want to help but I understand because I didn’t know exactly what was the name of the soup I was looking for ( my niece recommended) but expected that in person she would be more friendly but she was in the middle ( nice but rude at the same time) but I have to be honest the soup I got it was number A16 was not good for my taste and my honest opinion, had no flavor, I expected more , will I come again? Yeah maybe , and maybe try something different .“

“The food here tastes authentic and delicious! The flavors are rich and well-balanced, just like the original taste from home. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience very pleasant. Definitely one of the best places for Guilin rice noodles in the area.“

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

“The food here is outstanding. I make a trip downtown just to come here whenever I can. All of the food is good, and they have the best honey walnut shrimp EVER.“

“Grateful to Otoro for being open late, since there are so few options outside of fast food. Head Chef Jason was a pleasure to talk to, and check out his beautiful paintings which are on the walls! The 10-piece sashimi was excellent (hanami was my favorite) and he recommended the deep fried cheese cake which was very good! Highly recommend!“

“We ordered the Kuro Tonkotsu Ramen, kids ramen, Kara age and gyoza. The gyoza was a little too gingery and mushy. My girl loved her kids ramen and devoured it. The Kara age was juicy but on the softer side although delicious. Our tonkotsu ramen was good but temperature felt off. It also needed more spice which we asked for. Their service was really good and attentive.“

“As an Asian, I set a very high bar for dumplings. This place absolutely nailed it. The pan fried soupy pork dumpling was my favorite. Crispy dough on the bottom, chewy on the top. Soupy juicy fillings. Wonderfully seasoned and cooked just right. Dough was thin and not starchy at all. Will go again.“

“One of my new favorite spots for pho.
The p2 is amazing and comes with a dinosaur beef bone. The pho soup is clear and savory and you can taste the herbs and beef bones boiled. The noodles portion is perfect. Comes with beef tendon, tripe, beef meat ball, and slices of beef.
.
The Ambiance inside is simple modern clean and bright with natural window seats too and sofas.
.
The service here is quick on refilling water and has most condiments like napkins, utensils, on the table.
.
My favorite is their pickled garlic which goes with everything. It so dang good i always finish the whole jar. It's perfectly sliced thickness and pickled so yummy. I love how it's not spicy and just natural all garlic pieces. 😋
.
Overall I am a fan of this place for pho. The parking might be bad but it's worth it for the p2 and pickled garlic. Yay and happy new years. Thanks for reading and have a yelptastic day.“

“Delicious ramen (ordered the chasu tan tan ramen), friendly front of house staff, and timely service! Ate outside on a chilly January evening - fortunately outdoor patio is well-lit and heaters were available. Definitely enjoyed my visit and will be back!“

“I was thinking the serving and the number of dumplings were not a lot considering it was only $11 but I was wrong! There were actualIy 10 dumplings on it. I was not able to finish it so I had to take it home. It could be good for two persons as long as you’re not that hungry.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went there today with my daughter. Service was attentive warm and prompt. The Bachan side dishes were good. We ordered beef soup, corn mozzarella and another dish, don’t remember the name but they were all delicious ! Flavorful and good portion. I’m not from the area but I would make a trek again to eat here.“

“Oh man- came in for lunch and left a changed person. My mom wanted dumplings and I wanted a bao bun and we got both of what we wanted.
What a beautiful staff and what a great place to be! Thank you again to the staff! Everything was delicious!“

“The food is seriously good. I've come three times now and I've never had a subpar experience.

The garlic noodles keep me coming back, they don't skimp on portion sizes, the beef broccoli has plenty of broccoli, and all the chicken is ooey gooey goodness. The dumplings are moist and mildly soupey. I especially like the beef and onion dumplings.

I'd not recommend the boba drinks, of all the items offered they are the lowest value for product size and quality. By this I mean, you pay about boba shop prices for their boba and smoothie style drinks, and there's no portioning difference overall. They're still a very fair price, but in comparison to food portions the drinks do not have quite as much value. The drinks are very yummy regardless and add to the experience.“

“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 ✨️“

“This place was amazing! Service was fast and the waitress was very kind and patient! Food was out fast and don't even get me started on the food! Heaven-sent with the first bite!! My friend and I were going to take pictures but couldn't resist the food for long! 100/10 coming here again!“

“All around a great experience. Attentive and friendly staff. Creative dishes that paired really well with sake.

I can see this as a regular spot to dine in or grab a to go order the family.

Ambience is spot on - good lighting, decorative walls, and a perfect backdrop to take your social media shot.

I'll have to try their RareTea offering next time.

Do yourself a solid and go try it out.“

“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“

“Even after my first review 8 years ago, this is still my favorite place to go for Pho. It's a very simple and inviting place. A variety of Pho bowls as wells as other Asian plates. Great prices. Very satisfying for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I always get the #8 with no beef balls. I really enjoy the delicious broth and al dente noodles. The atmosphere is upbeat with all types of people from every generation. I find it very welcoming for those who choose to eat alone as well. There is a constant flow of customers coming in to eat there and ordering to go. I highly recommend this place if you want a delicious and comforting bowl of Pho.“

“I and my husband and even our children when they come to visit we take them to this restaurant. The food is very good, their service and the price is cheaper than anyplace around. They owner and staff treat you like family too.“

“I don't know how to pronounce anything on the menu and wouldn't know what to order without pictures but the food here is AMAZZZING! Everything is so soft, fresh , and packaged neatly. We live about 35 minutes away but make the drive to stop by here and SF market. Nice place that offers more than just the typical Pho restaurant. Definitely recommend!“

“Stopped by this place because another foodie told us we can’t miss their duck noodle soup so we HAD to try it. I would’ve never expected a full dine in restaurant at a boba shop but there it was. Sometimes when people tell you something tastes great, you set your expectation high and the actual food can be disappointing because it’s not as good as it’s hyped to be and how you’ve elevated it in your mind. Well, I have to say that it did not disappoint! We were seated promptly but for some reason, they helped another table who arrived after us for some reason. Not a big deal though since there weren’t many people and it was a leisurely weekend for us.

We ordered the shredded roast duck noodles soup. The broth was very flavorful but light with its clear broth. They used the vermicelli bean thread noodles and so my husband just thought the texture was off. I ordered the Roasted Duck Confit with Large noodles and mustard greens. The duck came out in a separate dish than the soup. The broth was light and tasted heavenly. I added some chili oil available at the table and the slight kick added another dimension to this delicious dish. What was utterly amazing about the dish was the duck. The skin was nice and crispy and even though I dunked the duck into the broth, I could tell it had been marinated because the flavor was infused deep into the meat, so much so that I could still taste the flavors after the dunking. I don’t think I’ve had duck this good before.

We also ordered the Hainanese chicken and beef chow fun. Both were good and standard fare that would satisfy any cravings, if you had an inkling for it. The pork ears were also pretty good too but it does have a brief numbing sensation to the tongue even though we ordered it as mild, I’m assuming from Sichuan peppercorns? But what a gem of a place that is almost down the street from us! We’ll be back for that roasted duck!! 🤤

The service was good but not excellent. We had to ask for our drinks but it never came out, even after the food started coming out. We asked and it came out shortly after that; the waitress was apologetic for forgetting. I deducted one star because no one came back to check to see if we needed refills or if we needed anything else after the food was served. But if you caught their attention, they’d get whatever you wanted promptly. Overall, the service was still pretty good all things considered. The waitress was was waiting the tables in the dining area and also helping people who came in just for drinks.“

“I like their breakfast 👌Fast service n delicious“

“Very nice clean restaurant. On today's visit I ordered the orange chicken and chicken chow mein, and a side order of Mongolian beef.

The orange chicken was great. The glaze had a crispy crunch like you'd want if you were eating fried chicken. The sweetness was low but balanced with the orange flavor and had pleasant subtle flavoring. Total perfection.

The chicken chow mein was cooked perfectly. The noodles were lightly coated and the flavor was light but perfect and balanced well with the orange chicken.

The Mongolian beef was excellent, came with a healthy dose of veggies, and had multiple flavors that danced on the tongue. The oils added an enhanced but light subtle flavor. In my photos I took a photo of the dish, and half the dish so you could see the oils. The oils were also great to lightly toss my chow mein with the veggies to enhance the flavor even more. The only down side was their was zero spicy and hear factor to the Mongolian beef. Your grandparents could safely eat it. Im used to my Mongolian beef being spicy with a good kick of heat to my palette. However this is my first visit to lucky wok and I am factoring in I should've asked as some restaurants customize heat to the customer's request and use mild to low spicy/heat by default.

The combination plate also comes with a soup of the day for free on dine-in orders only. Today's soup of the day was an excellent egg drop soup. It was delightful. Full of subtle flavor, and that wonderful broth which is rich and thick.

There was plenty of seating and the interior has a nice chic vibe and atmosphere. The ac was just right for comfort. The staff was friendly, polite, and attentive.

I'd recommend this spot for a family outing, or for lunch or dinner on the go as they specialize in take out and delivery.“

“reasonable price and good goods. staffs are nice“

“Time and time again every time I come to this restaurant I am always 100% satisfied, not only is the food extremely well priced it is also extremely good and delicious and well portioned for what you get. From the pho to the chow mein everything I have tried from this restaurant so far has been really good. The only complaint id ever have for this establishment is that the service can at times be a little iffy but other than that this place deserves a 5 star. If you go here you cannot go wrong with the pho honestly a place you must try if youre visiting sacramento.“

“I’ve been coming here ever since I’ve moved into the area about 6 years ago. Always excellent service and great food though today was outstanding! I ordered a large wonton soup with one container having only broth. I mentioned I was sick and I loved the broth. When I got home after picking up my food I found a complete order with a separate container with only broth. Good caring people here at T&Z“

“Good food good customer service coconut Thai tea the best“
