Review Pho Xe Lua - Sacramento

I have been eating Wor Wonton soup here for 14 years, this is the best place for Pho ever.

Had pho there Saturday May 6 and it was bomb!!! The service is great and consistent, you are seated quickly with a clean table. The food comes out quickly as well. The food is has always been a delicious, can’t remember a time I didn’t have good food there.

We get Pho Xe Lua regularly via delivery. We order the #4 and the #15 and we think the broth and fixins are delicious. The order is ready quickly and quality is high. We love this restaurant

Best pho unless you make it yourself in South Sac. Quick and tasty with reasonable price and large portions. Their Ban Xeo is delicious. But their Mee Xao Yong is meh 😒

I thought that the food at this place was alright but I liked the service. The bread was not heated up properly and still frozen cold in the middle. Pho is pretty standard. I tried the canh chua and it was a bit overly sweet (almost sugary) but portions are really good here. However, service was very good and friendly. Interior is nicely casual. And quick service.

Excellent food and service. First time we were ever there. Really nice place to have a really nice meal. Ultimate Comfort food. Get the small bowl. Trust me. Anything more than small and you'll be taking it home or leaving it behind. Highly recommended.

Honestly the best Pho in the region. You have to come on down to little Saigon and this place in particular for the real stuff that tastes so good. Great on a cold day, great when you have a sore throat, just very good food. While I am not a fan of Coriander or Cilantro, I still really enjoy the soup here. This place is very popular but despite the amount of people the soup comes out quick. They prefer cash. The food is very affordable. For less than $15 you get filled up with their largest size bowl.

Pho and coconut juice are so good! The pho soup is very flavorful. They also have small size bowl to extra large size. Bun cha sauce was good and vegetables are okay. However, the meat is not that great. I don’t expect the high quality meat but at least it shouldn’t feel like chewing rubber. Maybe I would try again with no meat foods.

My friend and I were in the mood for Vietnamese food and had a hard time finding a restaurant that had a dine in option. This place had a large parking lot and we had our temperature taken by a machine just inside the door. Hand sanitizer available and the staff were diligent about wiping down surfaces. The food here was great and was prepared quickly. Great presentation and portion. We were able to enjoy a leisurely meal without feeling rushed. Stop by if you're in the area. The price is very reasonable.

Haven't been to a lot of pho restaurants as it is a newly acquired taste but this restaurant is great! Laid back as we entered, we were noticed quickly and seated. Service was good and pretty fast too. The food was very good and you can get really large bowls of noodle soup here! The biggest off-putting detail is large street encampments nearing the neighborhood and almost coming up into the parking lot of the restaurant. The place is nice though and the parking lot looked safe and secure despite how close the encampments are. We almost turned around or got our order to go but once I was inside, I was convinced to stay and my wife and I had a great experience.

We came on Monday at noon, crowed. We tried many items. The canh chua (sour soup with cat fish), lamb noodle soup are delicious. Recommended. Rice plate is ok. The apperizer plate has 5 items, the beef teriyaki was good, the deep fried items were not crispy, under cooked. Not recommend the mushroom bobchoy, milk tea was too sweet, and Vietnamese pancake was super tough.

Had many items today, including the Lamb stew over rice that was superb ! Not to mention that their pho broth is consistently delicious. Thank you for another great meal.

This place is definitely a hole in the wall type of restaurant. It's such a hidden gem honestly! Prices are just right by the way. Lots of options and the food is very quick to come out which I appreciated. Usually if you order Pho from other places, sizes of the bowl are very small. They have small, large, and extra larger (no medium) .. I got the large and did I pay the price! It was huge! I'm scared of even trying to see the XL. Lots of noodles and lots of meat (order #1 for all meats), so I'll go small next time! The spring rolls, the waiter actually warned me like are you sure 2 orders of spring rolls? I'm like yeah.. now I see why. They were 2 massive (shrimp & pork) spring rolls! Order to share for 2 people. Also got the shrimp fired rice. Very good, and my son really enjoyed the flavors since he's a picky 2 year old. The waitress was so awesome and friendly, my son even gave her a hug after. I recommend it 100%. Big portions for empty stomachs! Food - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Environment - 🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐ Workers - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Clean - 🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐ Experience - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great noodle soup, quick service and tons of seating. Had the spicy noodle soup. Broth was yummy and it came with lots of meat. Definitely worth the price.

Deliciously deceiving. It looks a bit dated from the outside but the inside is much warmer and the staff and most importantly the food, is great.

We all know South Sacramento has some of the most amazing & authentic Asian restaurants. I've been to my fair share of them over the years and have rarely been disappointed. Which takes me to a business that has withstood the test of time. This is none other than "Pho Xe Lua" Having been opened since 2007 with hundreds of fairly positive reviews, this place is located directly on Stockton Blvd. and just north of Fruitridge Rd. Their menu is very extensive as they offer a mix of Chinese, Thai, & Vietnamese all under one roof. Sometimes this can be a turnoff as too many options may not necessarily be a good thing. Whether your appetite is craving Chow Mein, Fried Rice, Charbroiled dishes (with rice or noodles), Pho, Pad Thai, Teriyaki, or an extensive amount of beverages (coffee, lemonades, teas, shakes), this place definitely has it all. Since this place focuses mainly as Vietnamese, I chose this as my food of choice for lunch. I was also drawn to this place because they are one of the participating restaurants on DoorDash. I don't use their app often as I enjoy picking up food myself at the actual restaurant (to meet the employees, management, etc.). However, what drew me here was their $2.99 delivery fee and only a 25-35 minute turnaround time to get my food. So I took my chances and thankfully it did indeed take only 30 minutes. My delivery driver brought my food at the front entrance to my office building, sealed in a plastic bag as the food was piping hot in the container. The entree of choice that I ordered was one of their most popular, the #40 - "Com Chả Giò Tôm Thịt Nớng (Bò Hoặc Gà)". It was essentially a charbroiled pork dish complete with skewered shrimp, steamed rice, a veggie egg roll, & salad. It also came with a side of dressing, soy sauce, and chopsticks. The overall portion was quite generous. But words of advice ordering through DoorDash; the app charged $12.95 for this entree while the restaurants' website only charges $9.95 for this. After you factor in the price of the food + DoorDash fees + tip, I paid about $23 for everything. Just something everyone might want to think about if you're on a budget. The food overall was very tasty as there were significant seasoned pieces of pork while the egg roll was a decent size. The rice was the heartiest amount of food as well as a substantial amount of salad. Overall, "Pho Xe Lua" was tasty and definitely above average. I enjoyed every bite and cleaned my plate. But I will have to make a future visit to truly enjoy the experience. My rating, four stars.

Very nice place, very busy and has a big dinning area! This place has a good size menu and quick and friendly staff! The portion of the pho was generous and fairly priced for it. We also got a plate of chow fun after the pho and it was also very good! They do take credit card so no need to worry about having cash on you to pay and there’s plenty of parking even if they are busy.

Amazing food. The pork and rice is the best pork dish I have ever had. The pho is good to.

Since this place opened up my kid won't eat anywhere but here. Just an awesome place to get you pho or Vietnamese fix. Love the owners and customer service. Enjoy.

The only place to have Vietnamese food... We love their food and what a treat when we drive to south Sacramento to have one of their dishes!

Delicious love the pho �...Great staff...great crowd....yummy eats!

Delicious pho, love this place! � since moving to Sacramento, I've been a regular here.

Love the flavor... family favorite when in Sacramento

The only place I'll go for pho mmmm� I travel from Marysville just for their food! So yummy

The best mongolian beef, it is a very busy restaurant and that tells you one thing the food is good and so is the service, my wife is Vietnamese, and if she loves it you know it's Good. The only thing I wish is they had pictures of every thing they serve I can look at it and order it accordingly, but I know one thing the Mongolian beef is the best I've ever had

I love the Special Beef Pho that I ordered! Really delicious! Can't wait to try other food on their menu!

Love this place. Friendly servers and yummy food. If you don't like the fishiness of the pho, try the wonton soup. It's chicken stock with no fish stock. Great way to warm up as the weather gets colder. The general chicken is amazing.

Their pho is on point!! Nice big bowl! Very fast service too!

Best pho in the area - we come from about 50 miles away for it! Rich broth, fresh spring rolls, speedy service, and the price is right.

Great food! The service sucks. Did I say the food was fantastic?
