Cố Đô | Vietnamese Restaurant

Beautiful interior, average food, bun bo hue was good, bun mang vit soup tasted good, the duck was way over cooked, super dried, hard. Banh bot loc wrapping was too thick and chewy.

My homegirl introduced me to this place and is educating me in her food and culture. The resturant was clean, neat, and the customer service was courteous and fast. There was only an hour left before closing when I got there but they didn't rush us at all. I got a super delicious noodle broth with carrots in it and am so glad I went here instead of the other restaurant next door. I definitely want to go again and try out the other dishes they have and expand my pallette.

I tried out their central vietnamese dishes. Overall, the food is okay, not the best tasting bun bo hue or mi quang, but there are not many options anywhere, even in San Jose. The portion sizes are very large, and the food came out really quickly. The best part was probably the banh bot loc, which is a nice consistency. The bun bo hue also has a lot of the pork legs so if you're into that, that's a plus.

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. Overall been to the place a few times and it has always been a good experience.

First timer here. Heard a lot about how good the food was, but service was lacking. Honestly, my first experience here on a Friday afternoon was very good. Love the Bun Bo Hue and rice plate. I will be back.

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 the meal imo

Omgosh! After traveling to the East coast for the week. We were so happy to be home. First thing we got back into town we went straight to Cô Dô and food was out comfort food. Missed good old Californian food. 👍👍👍👍We ordered seafood noodle but we ate it all and forgotten to take photo of it. Plus Vietnamese coffee. ❤️

I always order food here for the past 20yrs and this is not the first time they made a mistake with my order. I said number 38 multiple times over the phone and asked again when I picked up the food showing the number 38 in the menu book and said yes it’s right. I opened the food when I arrived home and sure then wrong food. Tried calling and no one answered. So disappointed with this place.

I say this is still one of my favorite place that has all the variety of noodle dishes. Mi quang, bbh, pho, banh canh, and hue tieu. Surprisingly all of them are pretty delicious. I love their clams with rice paper too. Service is always on par because they never get busy. The inside of the restaurant is updated, I just wish they got more business.

I have not been here before but I was impressed. I was craving for bun rieu and I looked at pictures at different locations and thought I'd choose this one. I parked in a plaza that looked a little sketchy. But when I went inside the restaurant is nice and clean. They have seatings on the side as well. I was seated right away and I ordered bun rieu oc. They didn't have young coconut or avocado shake so I just got water instead. I got a large bun rieu oc and being pregnant I couldn't eat the whole thing. So I asked for a Togo cup and fill it up with all of the soup and topping and then start eating the rest. I was so full at the end and still have a lot of left over which was expected. The large costed $15 before tax and with tips I paid $19. I would come back.

Nothing beats a nice steaming bowl of BBH on a crispy fall day, and Co Do has one of the better bowls of BBH in the Sacramento area. I haven't been to Co Do in a hot minute and like another review mentioned, the broth doesn't have as much depth of flavor as I remember it having. Nonetheless, it still hit the spot for me. I also had a bit of a language barrier issue, which just goes to show that the food is lovingly made. When I asked for shrimp paste to add to my BBH, I had to show the owners a photo of it for them to understand my request (I should probably learn some Vietnamese tbh). However, they were very happy to oblige, and even brought extra limes when I asked. The shrimp paste was necessary to elevate the broth for sure, so I would definitely ask for it if the funk is up your alley to boost the flavor. The noodles were so thick and slurpable, and the veggies and herbs were fresh. The meat was tender and the portion size for the large was perfect for my early lunch. I also ordered an iced Vietnamese coffee to go with my BBH and that was the perfect strength without being bitter, and it definitely got me through a full afternoon of volunteering at the California Raptor Center. While Co Do is tucked away in the corner of a not-so-nice strip mall, the interior of the restaurant is clean and modern, and there is ample parking in front where you can keep an eye on your car. I'm honestly glad I went back and while I generally prefer my favorite place down the street that serves their BBH in a hot stone bowl, Co Do clearly has its own home-y recipe and I don't want to directly compare the two restaurants since I like them both for different reasons. The majority of everyone who sat down to eat before and after me were also ordering BBH, so it's safe to say that this place can still hold its own and I would love to return again soon.

Co Do is located in a strip mall off Stockton Blvd. It's got a decent sized parking lot. I ordered the seafood udon soup and my mom got the chicken vermicelli dish. The quality of the protein in my soup was just ok, and the udon looked homemade. I doctored up the broth with fish sauce and was satisfied (although this is nowhere the quality of the bowl I had in Saigon). My mom thought her dish tasted great. I didn't try it but it looked slightly different from what I'm used to... Either the sauce or the noodles. A decent meal with friendly staff. I didn't try the most popular dishes here so I could be convinced to come back for them based on this experience.

This place serves really good Bún bò Huế! The restaurant is somewhat spacious and could accommodate about 2-3 large groups. I've tried so many restaurants, but this one still hits the spot. The broth wasn't as rich and flavorful as I remembered, but it was still good, and the added lemongrass gave it a nice touch. Every time I come here, this is all I order. The food came out quickly, and the broth was perfectly steamy and hot. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. We waited for the servers to check on us and offer refills, but they never came. I ordered a large Bún bò Huế, but the portion seemed similar to a small, which was disappointing.

Got seated immediately. Came for a late lunch. We were hungry. I ordered a large bun bo hue. My cousins ordered an xlarge hu tieu and mi quang. We also order the crab cha gio. The food came out very quickly after we ordered. The entrees came out before the egg rolls. Thankfully I ordered a large because the xlarge was huge! You definitely could feed 2 or 3 people with 1 of those bowls. My bun bo hue came with plentiful of veggies to add. The broth was fairly good. I added shrimp paste and lemon to it for more flavor. There was a lot of meat. Everything I was picking up noodles, there was meat in my bite. The crab egg rolls were good but I couldn't tell that there was crab in it. The egg rolls came with veggies and noodles.

Bún bò Huế is very good! Bánh bèo is good too, but only 6 cup for a ration is not good amount for one ration. Restaurant is clean, staff is nice. We'll come back.

Ummm. The Bun Rieu was okay. I have to say this isn't the first time that either my noodles or pork balls had this "spoiling" taste in my mouth. Kinda ruins the appetite. I had my order ToGo and I wasn't going to drive another hour just to return my two items. Management should really check and make sure that their food is as fresh as possible. If it looks or tastes funny then throw it out! Don't give that to the public. Gross. I will give the BBH another chance. It's a popular dish so maybe I won't get spoiled noodles or meat. BBH broth isn't as flavorful as before but it's palatable. Fingers crossed.

Good pho, good bun bo hue. Cute interior. Right next to a supermarket, nice walk after eating. The ga hai nam dish was not good, it was served mostly with bone pieces, sauce that came with it was good though - would not recommend. Banh it ram was really gloopy in the middle. Thai tea was mid.

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.

JUST AN UPDATE to old loyal customers. Co'do used to be me and my boyfriend's favorite spot! Every single bowl was delicious and had the best size!! It was a secret spot no one really went to. Only real ones know CODO. However, I think there's new owners or something. Ever since they remodeled the restaurant and changed the male workers, the Portions became smaller and pricer! The old workers knew me and my boyfriend and suddenly it's all brand new and new people? Back to the portion size and food. It seems like even the XL is a small. I feel like they put the same amount of noodle in any of those bowl size... Also I don't think it's right to up the price and make the portions smaller. If prices were going up and sizes were the same, that would've been fine. There's definitely a bigger language barrier. I feel like having a language barrier is fine, however we got the entire meal wrong. Such as the bowls and drinks. Lastly, I noticed that a lot of the items on the menu aren't actually available anymore. Such as drinks and certain dishes. I'm honestly kinda bummed. I might just go eat the 2nd Co'do instead.

Been going here for years. My favorite of all time is BBH. I went recently the soup tasted more bland wasn't as bold tasting as before. Will definitely look around now for other options Service is great as always

The food is sooo good and authentic!!! We ordered the banh it ram, banh beo, baby clams, and bun bo hue and everything was amazing!! Loved everything here I could for sure just order two appetizers as a whole meal!! 12/10 would recommend and will be back!!

What a great place for authentic Vietnamese dishes! W have been dining here over the past decade and The food here is still good! By am surprise I have not yet proved a review. For appetizers, we tree the Banh it ram. This dish was doughy but decent. The is a fired of fried rice cake topped in a steam rice cake filled with meat and shrimp. Our go to here are the Bun Bo Hue (BBH) and the Mi Quang. This place has one if the best bun Bo hues. The favor is always on point with lots of protein. The Mi Quang is excellent. The turmeric noodles is flavorful! This spot is great for BBB and Mi Quang!

Ordered thru ubereat. Food arrived on time and still warm. Tasty not too salty which is good. Only minor thing, i did put in no onion but they still put onion on top of my pork chop. Thanks goodness that Im not severe allergic to onion otherwise things could have been worst.

Easily the best bun rieu oc in Sacramento. Pretty disappointed with their bun bo hue, maybe went on an off day. Meat was plentiful and tender but broth was bland. Just spicy and watery. Banh beo was decent. Would definitely come back for the bun rieu! Wow!

Review is just for the food. Service reminded me of Chinatown. Just emmm. Mi quang was yummy...the yellow rice noodles and savory meet n shrimp was scrumptious. The marinated beef was tart n flavorful but the dipping sauce was fire.

I am writing this review as an American-Vietnamese individual who knows Vietnamese cuisine well, as I grew up with my family's cooking and am now still enjoying Vietnamese food regularly with my spouse and our combined Vietnamese families. With that said, I am also a fair judge and this review is a sincere one, bear in mind. The "Seafood Noodle Soup" was terrible. If you have eaten at TK Noodle, you may easily recall the large portion of toppings and decent quality of egg noodles. What I received at Co Do was egg noodle with lumps in them, as if they were removed from cold packaging and dumped directly into hot soup without taking any care to properly cook or prepare them. Toppings were minimal, and floated on the surface of the soup like a few cheerios atop the milk. Took a good ten minutes to separate the noodles to the point where I was able to lift a bite out without drawing up a clump. The chicken fried rice was worse. There was no gourmet to it whatsoever, a bit frustrating when ordering from a restaurant and paying $12.95. Three ingredients were present: rice, choppy bits of chicken thigh, and grease. No green onions, carrots, peas, nada. And the flavor was horrendous. If you know Vietnamese flavors, you'll know that fish sauce is commonly used to bring a salty, savory flavor. What they've done here is throw the aforementioned three ingredients into a wok, dumped copious amounts of fish sauce and called it a day. It was terrible. Overly salty and not even in a good way. Finally, the bill came and they charged my wife for the large size instead of the small size. It was one-dollar difference, but it was intentional, as I understood the conversation which took place. The waiter said it was a small and a large bowl, but just charge two larges. My wife and I certainly got one large and one small, as was evident by both of us confirm the order as well as by the size of the bowls we received. The food was atrocious and the people cheated us one dollar. In both instances it's the principle that matters. If this small sample size is any indication of the rest of this restaurant's dishes, then I advise not to spend your money here. It's obvious where management's interest lies, and I can assure you it is not in authentic, honest Vietnamese cooking.

Came here on the search for the best bun bo hue (BBH) in Sac and was convinced by all the reviews. I went here on a Sunday morning and easily got a table. Service and cleanliness was typical of a family-owned restaurant in South Sac. Now, for the BBH -- I'm not sure if I came on a bad day, but it was basically a light, almost watery, soup with a lot of flavor-less hot oil sitting at the top. It was not spicy at all and I was too taken aback by how watery the soup tasted. I tried to remedy the soup with condiments - but you know, if a bowl of BBH is good on its own, you shouldn't be adding any other condiments as it'll ruin the authenticity and taste of BBH. Unfortunately for me, there was no way to add or fix the flavor of my soup and I didn't even finish beyond 25% of my bowl. I do hope that others have a better experience than me!

Came here with my parents for Sunday lunch and was pretty disappointed with the food and service. Ordered 4 entrees with 1 appetizer. Appetizer and 3 entrees came however the waiter forgot 1 of the entrees. Eventually had to cancel it since everyone was done eating already at our table and I was no longer hungry. P.S. Item #45 does not look anything like the picture shown on their menu. Picture and detailed description of the entree states it comes with egg over rice however when it came it looked nothing like the picture. I also tried to order a shake and waiter stated they didn't have ANY flavor available at all. Why have an extensive drink menu but not have any available? On a weekend too? Bathrooms are also quite horrendous and dirty.

After a couple visits it's just an okay place for me. On the first visit I took advantage of the outdoor space on a mild afternoon. I had the beef stew with egg noodles and it was tasty enough. On the downside the wait staff was all but absent for the duration. I was also put off by a table behind me that thought it was fine to light up their cigarettes. Not at all a welcome addition to my dining experience. I had to walk in side to pay the bill and was satisfied enough with the food that I expected to return soon to try some other dishes that have had rave reviews. I made my return about a month later and was really looking forward to the Mì Quảng that so many have written about. When the dish arrived I was certainly impressed by the visual presentation. I was happy the broth was on the side given the triple digit heat. I ate the dish mostly dry and found it to be good but not great in contrast to my other times eating this dish at other establishments. My dining partner had the roast duck with egg noodles and found the duck to be both over cooked and dry. No doubt it was not prepared that day and was likely at least a couple days old. All in all I cant imagine returning anytime soon there are just to many other solid options for Vietnamese food in the area. On the plus side the prices are more than fair. Then again the other options in the area are almost all well priced. I am looking forward to getting back to some of my usual spots as things move to being more fully opened.

Hole-in-the-wall restaurant! Saw that their specialties were mi quang and com hen, and not many places offer this. Upon walking in, I noticed that it smelled odd...probably the mix of all the food smells...and mind you, I'm used to fish sauce and what have you, but it that wasn't quite it. I also noticed that the staff weren't wearing masks, which is totally fine considering the mask mandate is lifted (just pointing it out for those who want to know). I also wanted to use the sanitizer dispenser at the front, but nothing came out...When we got the menus, the covers looked greasy... As for the mi quang and com hen, my friend and I shared them both (got the small size). I think the small size is just enough if you don't want to be stuffed to the max...pretty generous serving. I noticed the server who brought out the dish had his thumb inside my bowl when he was holding it, which it looked like touched the cracker...bleh... but the food was pretty fresh and delicious. Both dishes come with a side of broth. The mi quang is the thick yellow noodles that have the black sesame fried crackers, vegetables/salad (lettuce, bean sprouts, mint, purple cabbage, lime), seasoned pork belly, and seasoned shelled shrimp. The broth on the side tastes kind of like bun bo hue soup, which was pretty good. It also had some sliced onions and green onions. As for the com hen, which is the baby clams over rice, it had a lot of rice, really tiny clams, lettuce and some other veggies, lime, and the black sesame fried crackers. The side broth tasted a little more seafood-y and had a little bit of baby clams in there as well. Overall, I think the food is pretty delicious, unique, and authentic, although I question the cleanliness of the shop. I'd give it 3 stars for that, but I did enjoy the food, hence 4 stars.

Authentic Vietnamese food that taste so good. The staff greets you in Vietnamese, and you get your food so quickly. Probably not the most stylish decor or spotless clean spot, but then again, what authentic Asian food place is? It's a local mom and pop shop that will deliver delicious goodness. I highly recommend the egg rolls and the Bun Bo Hue. They have big portions so order accordingly. Eat well!

I've been to the place many times, my favorite dishes are Haiyan Chicken rice and Bun bo Hue. All my family members love this place and we used to go there every weekend. The staff are nice and friendly. Will definitely come back again and willing to recommend this place to all of my friends.

One of the best Mi Quang I have had outside of my home town in Quảng Nam. I highly recommend this place if you ever crave for this delicious dish. They serve the broth separately, which is great because it prevents your noodle from going too soggy. The place was not as clean as I would like but the food makes up for it.

Ordered the bun bo hue. The toppings were great. Good meat portion and quality (tender and fatty chunks). Unfortunately the soup is very bland. Taste good overall but not satisfying if you want bun bo hue.

Pretty good food here for my first visit. I had the beef stew. Only came with mint and been sprouts inside the soup was onions and carrots. No jalapeños or Bok choy. The meat was about 2/3 pieces in a large order the rest was muscle or tendon very hard to chew. The flavor of the broth was pretty good and we enjoyed the spring rolls and egg rolls. $40 with tip for 2 large beef stews two appetizers and two waters. I'll be back to try other items in the future.

Very good bun bo hue, bun rieu oc, and goi ga. One of my fav places in Sac for authentic viet food.

Hole in the wall in Sacramento's Little Saigon. They are best known for their BBH, always on point! Don't need to add anything, perfect as served. Unless you love chilies and spice like me, just enjoy and savor every bite and spoonful of the delicious broth.

One of the best Vietnamese establishments in Sacramento. I have been coming here for about a year now with my family and the quality has been consistent every time. I always order their Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Beef Noodle Soup) and I have to say, I haven't tasted anything as good as this in the Sacramento area. The beef is soft and the thick noodles pairs perfectly with the broth. The flavor is definitely there. I also love the Mi Quang (Quang Style Noodle with Pork and Shrimp). There is a good tumeric flavor in the noodles and the veggies are generous. You can ask them to not add peanuts if you are allergic. Service is always great, quick, and to the point. This place is fantastic for a good meal. Definitely a hole in the wall.

Had a very good Hủ Tiếu Khô at this place. Unfortunately there was no quail egg (I think you'd have to order extra) which is a staple in this dish. However they gave lots of meat and seafood and the sauce was delicious. My friend had Cm Hến and we also shared a dish of Bánh bèo. A piece of Vietnam here in the States. Will be back for Bún bò huế as it is famous for this dish.

Best spot for BBH bun Bo hue. 10/10. The broth is on point. Service quick 10/10. Ambiance 10/10. Hidden Gem. If you're craving this particular soup, come here

I've only been here maybe 3 times and every time I come I get the bun bo hue. The flavor is super good and there's a slight kick to it if you haven't tried it before! It's nothing extremely spicy whatsoever but if you are sensitive to spice, be warned! Service here isn't the greatest but what do you expect? Just come for the BBH. You'll probably have to wave down your waiter if you need something because once you order and get your food, they probably won't be back checking up on you. You pay at the counter when you're done!

Best Com Hem and Mi Quang in the 916, definitley recomend if you want to try something else then pho. The service is very kind will get anything you need. The ambiance is calm and the resturaunt plays great vietnamese music, a lot of the music gave me nostalgia, so 5 out of 5 stars!

Food and service is legit...we ate there yesterday and as usual, it was excellent. We had the beef, meatballs and well done flank.

best com hem ever tasted, no one can defeat this restaurant, 5/5 fr.Service is awesome and won't let me dow, never. Ambiance is 900/10 with Viet music playing thru my ears.

Food comes out fast and service is always speedy. I can usually get in and out within the hour and it's great. I would highly recommend ordering 2 things here. -Bun Bo Hue is so spicy and amazing here. Highly recommend, I think this is the best place for bun bo hue in Sacramento -Bun Rieu is good here too. They are very generous with the portions here. -Egg rolls are good here. My niece loves it - Banh Canh I would not recommend here. It seemed like it had way too much starch in the broth. It was so thick I could barely move the noodles. But the bun bo hue and bun rieu are so good here they deserve 5 stars!

I came here specifically to try their Bún Bo Huế since I heard great things about it! I'm super picky when it comes to this noodle soup dish because I'm very picky with how it tastes. I'm really disappointed that the BBH didn't meet my expectations for it :( First off, the noodles were overcooked so that already ruined it for me because the noodles should be somewhat chewy in bún bò Huế, which it wasn't here at all. The noodles also tasted like a few day old vermicelli noodles, which I dislike. Second, the broth was just not it for me. My bf enjoyed his rice plate but how can you mess up a rice plate. Also, the water is 100% sink water!! Overall, an okay Vietnamese restaurant. Not anything special to come back to unfortunately.

The only thing they have displayed on their windows is this large neon light that says "BUN BO HUE", so this place better have good bun bo hue! This restaurant seems to specialize in middle Vietnam region dishes and cuisine. I ordered the bun bo hue and it had all the fixins that a traditional and authentic bun bo hue bowl should have: pork blood, pig feet, shredded cabbage, and bun bo hue spices. Wish they had shredded banana blossom though, that was missing. My dad got the mi quang and we enjoyed both of our dishes!

Bbh was delicious the pho was ok my husband finished off my bbh I just wish it was spicier

My son had Bún Bò Huế and I took a sip of his soup and I was pleasantly surprised it was seasoned well. It is almost as a good as Bún Bò Huế An Nam in Sẵn Jose, except they didn't give shredded banana blossom and a side of mắm ruốc. The interior needs some updating because it looks a little dingy, but the BBH was decently good. I had Vietnamese ice milk coffee and it was strong but good, not too sweet. I would visit again and try other dishes.

This is the only place I go to for my Bun Bo Hue (BBH) cravings. BBH is spicy noodle soup with pork and beef. The noodle is round rice noodles not the flat rice noodles that are served in Pho. I'm not sure what's in the broth but I believe it's pork/beef and lots of spice and herbs like lemongrass. Don't waste your time trying other restaurants for BBH because I have tried and nothing compares to them. Hands down the best you'll get in Sacramento/Elk Grove. They have good eggrolls and springrolls too. Their service is pretty good compared to other Asian spots. They're super fast too.

I come here for the bun mam nuoc leo. They are the only Vietnamese restaurant that serves this dish.

This is a place I don't want to lose. There are some special dish that I must have here like Hen Xuc Banh Trang (clam with rice cracker), Banh It Ram (the crispy and chewy two rice ball stack together), ... They also have good Bun Rieu, Bun Bo Hue, Bun Mang Vit, and Bun Mam ... actually their Bun Mam is not authentic West-Vietnamese one, but it has lighter flavor and not strong fragrant, .... I do like that better because I don't like strong sweet and salty flavor. This place specializes in Hue's Cuisine, so ... I like to come for those dishes.

This is THE place to get Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Beef Noodle Soup). No where else in the city will you get bun bo as legitimate and as tasty as this. In face, my family used to frequent Pho King across the street, but after discovering this place, we've abandoned all other bun bo restaurants. The broth is delicious, the beef soft, and the noodles are well cooked. The bowl comes with all the cuts of meat that you would see in a good bun bo. That being said... I've never ordered anything else. My siblings have ordered rice plates before and were disappointed. When I tried theirs, I'll admit that I was not impressed. But, you don't go to a place that specializes in bun bo and order rice! So if you come here, you know exactly what to order.

FOOD - Bun Rieu (Crab Noodle Soup): vermicelli noodles, with minced crab and pork balls, tomatoes, tofu, pork blood, and fish balls topped with white onions and cilantro and a side of veggies. The small was the perfect size for me, so most likely it's too small for the general population. lol. The broth had good flavor but it was a little more oily than most bun rieu I've had. The temperature was perfect. The crab and pork balls, though good, did not hold well; most of them were broken. There were only 2 small pieces of tofu. The fishballs were something different. It was okay but it had large pieces of black pepper which I didn't like. I ate 1 and didn't touch the other 3. 3.75/5 SERVICE Pretty fast, but it's your typical Vietnamese service (takes your order, serves your food, with an expressionless demeanor). 3/5 FINAL THOUGHTS The bun rieu was pretty good. I would come back for more.

My personal favorite BBH in Sacramento! I dont eat here all the time but when I do... give me the XL BBH please!

Can't beat this authentic BBH In a rainy day! Broth, meats, veggies ..can not be any better than this. Hands down !! Thank you for a wonderful meal HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

This is why I am giving 2 stars! My friend laughed so hard because this is what I got for a $3 coffee. If it was not for their good decent oil pepper, it would have been a zero! Customer service was also bad because they kept talking to each other instead of listening to me. Rule number one: Serve your customer first! Then you can have your own conversation and horseplay around behind the counter but do check on them occasionally.
