2025 was Michelin Guide good to #sacramento, especially a hidden, unassuming strip-mall pho spot on Folsom Boulevard.
For those that aren't up on their food game, being recognized on the Michelin Guide is a really great honor, only rivaling receiving a star (or three). It's like a pre-star, another way to recognize them for serving good food with quality ingredients.
Prior to this rating, I'd drive by and always say I wanted to stop here, solely on the name alone. Now, it was just a waiting game as they slowed down from their Michelin popularity, which I think is still going. Word is, they are expanding...
As a ramen girlie, I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the broth! I ordered an XS #3 bowl, since we also ordered:
1 Fresh Spring Roll, Pork Sausage w/ Crispy Layers
2 Fresh Spring Roll, Sizzling Butter Beef
3 Crab Cream Cheese Wontons
The CCC wontons were my fave out of the three. I was really hoping for more with the spring rolls. The pork sausage reminded me of a hot dog, so I couldn't eat but one piece. However, I loved the crispy layers. Both spring rolls had a tough rice paper exterior, I prefer it easier to chew. The sizzling butter beef didn't have as much flavor as I thought it, per the seevers description.
Overall, and as it should be, pho was the main event!
The pork fried rice smelled amazing and there are many other items I'd like to try in the future. I absolutely love seeing one of our ethnic restaurants on Folsom Boulevard being recognized for their quality ingredients and food! There are so many other good ones down this street too!
Seems like a catch 22 to get on the MIchelin Guide, but I'm happy to have had a taste!
