Saigon Alley Kitchen & Bar

Glad that this place is open again in Natomas! We’ve walked by a lot and it’s been closed for awhile. They’re doing 50% off specialty pho from 10pm-12am until January 15, so most of the pho will be $10 or less. I think staff is still in training because service was a little slow. We ordered the cheese wontons, Vietnamese coffee with pandan cream, oxtail pho, and alley pho. You get 4 cheese wontons for $10 which feels a little pricy but they’re nice and crispy with a tangy chili sauce. The pho is really tasty and the broth is flavorful. The tendon in the oxtail pho is soft and cooked perfectly. The oxtail itself is a little small and has more fat than meat. Something I’ve never had at a Vietnamese restaurant before - the bean sprouts were cooked and warm instead of being served raw.

Just wanted to try some for lunch after work, was surprised by how different it is to Pho Saigon, a place I usually went for pho. Surprisingly, it was a less than busier time being in the afternoon, and the front staff nearly immediately seated and served me. The spring rolls were alright, and with it I tried the pho tai lan. It has a bit of a deep rich, slightly spicy broth that I quite enjoyed. Not as traditional as I'm used to, but it is a nice modern twist. I might come back to try other options on the menu. Cheers.

This by far one of the best Pho places in Sacramento! I just ate here for the second night in a row and had to leave this review before leaving the parking lot! Jen is always so sweet and helpful up front. Tonight my server was J and he was AMAZING and super friendly! Along with the great food, those 2 made my experience even better

This is a cute little local spot in North Sacramento. The decor is really cute and the food presentation is great too. The food itself is very tasty. The cocktails and mocktails never disappoint. My recommendation is the beef shaken plate. It’s a great place for a date or just to hang out. They do have a full service bar. The only reason that I’m not giving it five stars is the noise level sitting in the center of the restaurant. If you sit in the more cozier areas by the bar, it is better. The music was quite loud and because it’s an open floor plan it was a little hard to hear the conversation at my own table

Made a reservation for a group of 9 for a weekday dinner. *note reservations for a large group requires a card We ordered cocktails including the Thai tea, steak, fried rice, garlic noodles, green beans, egg roles, and banh mi sandwich. Pros: -our waitress was very friendly -the restaurant is super cute, very well decorated -food came out pretty quick and was fresh -the cocktails were yummy! Cons: -felt the flavor was lacking and everything could’ve used more seasoning so we had to use sauces and chili flakes salt & pepper etc to add more flavor. We were told how good the garlic noodles were but it was missing that distinct garlic flavor so that was disappointing Overall I’d give it another try

I used to love this restaurant and we went regularly. Unfortunately, when they reopened, they completely changed the menu. We stayed anyways, hoping it would be just as good as it used . This was not the case. This is hugely disappointing, especially since there’s a limited amount of restaurants in Natomas. they really should rename the restaurant to the pho spot. Because it’s pretty much their only option on the menu now.

The food was great. Excellent Bahn Mi with charbroiled pork. Saigon Alley Pho was good except for the Oxtail - 90% bone. Service was ok. Not greeted right away and never offered a 2nd drink. Maybe because it's new? I would definitely go back even with the steep prices.

Well, this is a bittersweet entry. We were regulars of this location since they opened. Were heartbroken when they were forced to close. All of the staff we came to love were now dispersed. And sadly tonsay were alot of menu options. Upon reopening several items did not return (pork chop and rice plate, Bohn Mi Tacos just to name a few). And while the Pho is amazing, we’ll now have to resume our trek to the midtown location to satisfy our cravings. Sorry guys. Not sure why this decision was made to alter what worked before. Best of luck though.

Saigon Alley never fails to deliver! Their food is always up to par, the drinks are great, and their staff are polite and attentive! We come here often and will definitely continue!

Good food, Good customer service [Natomas, Sacramento CA] We tried this restaurant for the first time and our experience was very good. We had dinner here before heading to a Kings game. The restaurant wasn't too busy and we were seated right away next to the huge bar. Nice decor and ambiance inside. We placed our orders for the Grilled Pork Chop w/ Fried Rice and their Garlic Noodles w/ Shaken Beef. Portions were generous. Customer service was A+, our server's shift was over and left and the bartender took over and refilled our drinks w/o us asking. He also took care of us when came time to pay the bill. I did not know this place existed in the Natomas area. The location was once occupied by Crazy Sushi Korean & Japanese Restaurant and Tuk Tuk Restaurant... hopefully, 3rd time's a charm and this business stays. Review #3628

This is a natomas favorite! Great vegetarian options - tofu banh mi tacos and veggie pho is excellent! My family loves the garlic chicken noodles here. Service is always prompt and friendly, interior is trendy and upbeat. The Thai tea and viet coffee are strong and so good!

We previously enjoyed the midtown location, so we decided to check out their Natomas location too. The restaurant was decorated with Halloween decor. There are quite a few fun cocktails, but I resisted in ordering one. We had the garlic string beans, bo tai chanh (Vietnamese beef carpaccio), seafood mango papaya, and Saigon Alley pho. The string beans were crunchy. I enjoyed the bo tai chanh the most. I'm not sure why it's called seafood mango papaya when the only seafood that it contained was shrimp. Maybe fish sauce also counts? We went for the Saigon Alley pho because it had oxtail. The broth was good, but I wished there were more noodles. Overall, the food was light and satisfying. I would say it's a bit more pricy than other Vietnamese restaurants. But then again, it's not your typical pho restaurant.

I've heard great things about Saigon Alley and I've been excited to try them. I was craving pho and decided to order takeout to bring home. I ordered online for pickup and got the garlic string beans ($10), combo pho ($15), grilled pork spring roll ($4.50) and betel beef spring roll ($5.50). The order was ready right when it was estimated to be and I took it right home. The pho was still hot when I got home and they packed everything separately so the noodles wouldn't get soggy. The broth was flavorful and overall it was a great bowl of pho. The spring rolls were a lot bigger than I thought they'd be, and a great portion for the price. The green beans were also flavorful and fresh. There's plenty of parking available and the restaurant it also a good size for dine in groups.

We came in on a Tuesday around 5pm. We quickly got a seat and our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered from the happy hour drink menu. For food we ordered the pho oxtail, the Hanoi spicy pho, fried chicken dumplings, shrimp spring rolls and the French fries. The home made noodles on the Hanoi spicy were great. The oxtail pho was good. The chicken dumplings were nice and not too oily. The spicy dipping sauce YUM. The shrimp spring rolls were well stuffed and were great with the peanut dipping sauce. French fries were good. Our drink specials were great and a great price. The ambiance is nice and modern. One heads up....their menu has had some major changes...not the same restaurant as it was two months ago. I was looking for taro fries and deep fried green beans ; /

Ordered pho to go but was disappointed with the portion. Broth was flavorful this time. And pick up was ready on time.

4.7 stars! Plenty of parking. Aesthetics of the resto is nice and modern. Their happy hour menu is freakin amazing. Cocktails were so unique and flavorful. You must try their crispy squid/calamari!! The best! And their presentation game is on point.

Saturday night dinner with hubby.. good ambience, pleasant service. We ordered dynamite scallops these were the tiniest of scallops I ever had though we were warned by our server but we didn't expect that they would be actually tiny. Also, ordered chicken egg rolls which were pretty average and the vegetable garlic noodles were a bit dry for my taste. I will give this place another try to try out their other dishes they serve.

4.5 stars. After a long day of whitewater rafting, my friends and I went home to shower then reconvene at Saigon Alley. Great way to satisfy a craving for Vietnamese food. They have so many options on the menu other than pho. It's such a hip, modern place! Cute and spacious. Customer service was alright. The wait staff seemed kind of miserable. I ordered both the Canh Chua Wings and Salt & Pepper Tofu. Both were delicious! I liked the sauce for the tofu but not the wings. Also got an Aperol Spritz and love that they have a full bar with a variety of drinks. Plenty of parking in this strip mall restaurant. I'd want to try the Midtown location next, which I think is the original one.

This place is a hidden gem in north natomas located in the Raley's shopping center. Walked in and wasn't greeted right away due to the hostess having issues with someone on the telephone but a young gentleman came to help and he was very kind & immediately sat us. Waitress came to help right away and bring us drinks. She was smiling, very helpful & checked on us to make sure we had what we needed a few times. The restaurant is very modern and love how they had R&B music playing the whole time Ordered food and food came out hot and we didn't have to wait long after ordering. We ordered the chicken fried rice along with the Hanoi & Saigon Pho. All 3 dishes were full of flavor. The portion size served is very good for the amount you pay. The portions were so much that we could not finish our food we had to take the remainder to go. This place is a Two go to for us when we want some pho near home and a very comfortable setting without a long wait. Usually get seated right away everytime we visit. we will definitely be back to visit.

I'm always full and happy leaving this restaurant! This time we tried the dipped sandwich and I thought that was okay, I would get the pho instead. Even though it's a little pricey, I think it's well worth it compared to the dipped banh mi. I always get the beef carpaccio, and garlic noodles with chicken. I've tried the green beans which is another favorite of mine. Pretty sad they took quail off the menu!

I've came to eat here a few times with the most recent about a week and a half ago. They've updated the menu adding a few more options. This last time I ordered the pork chop specialty plate with garlic noodles--best dish and option ever-Must try! Every time I go here I'm torn on what to order since everything is delicious--ohhh the options...choose wisely!

I recently tried Saigon Alley for the first time, and it was a great experience overall. Although I was disappointed that most of the items I wanted to order were no longer available due to a menu change, I still enjoyed what I ended up ordering. The place was spacious, clean, and had a nice vibe. The service was okay, but I did notice the server seemed a bit annoyed when I kept asking for items that were no longer on the menu--understandable, but there was no sign informing customers about the change. Overall, I liked it and would come back!

When the rain comes so does the craving for food pho. This place puts love into their broth. You can instantly see that it was cooked a long time with the perfect spices. Then you taste it and your suspicions are confirmed - it is great! My only complaint was that I ordered extra broth and a little less than a cup of it was $2.50.

We came to celebrate our friends birthday. I'd give the food a 3.8/5. We ordered a variety of dishes to try. Our favorite was the garlic noodles. The rest of the dishes were good, but nothing mind blowing. The pho is poured table side which is different from other Vietnamese restaurants. The pho wasn't the best we've had. And we did feel that most of the food was over priced for what we got, but the presentation and the overall aesthetic of the restaurant were great! On the day we went, I'd give the customer service a 2/5. Our server seemed like she didn't really want to be there and she did have a slight attitude. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back but the place is decent!

My family used to come here religiously and while the food is still good, it's just not the same as it used to be. The portions have gotten immensely smaller and the food doesn't taste as rich as it once did. We used to have leftovers and now barely 2 plates of the noodles will fill us up. The green-beans have also gone down in taste and quality. I'd prefer to eat the original sized portions with raised prices than smaller ones. Additionally I am so DISTRAUGHT about the Honey Walnut Shrimp no longer being on the menu! Hope to be back soon once the necessary adjustments are made.

The food was really good. We took it to go and I got the Saigon pho, wings and the short rib plate with a shrimp skewer. Everything was delicious, my kids loved the wings. I was craving pho and it really hit the spot. The soup was very flavorful. The garlic noodles that came with one of the plates was also very good. I've been to their other location a long time ago and wasn't a big fan of it, but tried it again recently and it definitely was good this time. I will say the prices are a little high for pho but still very delicious.

At first when we had arrived it looked suspicious. The outside doesn't do much justice for the decoration, food, and service.. OMG THE FRIESSSSS! The fries were so good! The ambience was fresh and clean, with the adorable Halloween decorations. We will definitely come back and definitely recommend trying this spot out :)

Is one of the newest Vietnamese pho shop in the natomas area. This review is based on a doordash order. It is pretty legit and the portion size is good. you do get a lot of meat. Which is worth the money.

This is a Natomas hidden gem! Located next to the Raleys in the same shopping center, Saigon Alley has a kitchen that is serving up some serious dishes. The restaurant has a beautiful decor. The bar here is really inviting. Tall shelves full of many high end liquors and a nice marble counter top. My lady and I sat at a small round table that only got smaller once our dishes started coming out. They came out fast too. Restaurant wasn't super busy for a Sunday afternoon late lunch/early dinner. I'd say not even 5 minutes after putting our order in came the first dish. The honey crispy shrimp was the highlight of our meal and best dish we had. The shrimp were huge! The batter they use came out perfectly crisp and each bite better than the last. The sauce they toss it in is amazing. I would buy it by the bottle if I could. Next the fried rice came out. It had the texture of sticky rice while also super fluffy and full of great flavors. It didn't need any soy sauce. The only thing slowing us down was using chopsticks instead of forks lol. The garlic noodles came next. My lady had hyped these up a lot so expectations were high. They delivered! This dish was perfect. We couldn't stop going back for more. They shave parmesan cheese on the noodles before serving it and that's what really sets this dish apart from other noodles. Perfect flavor. The garlic isn't overpowering, the green onions are soft and tender and add a nice color to the dish. Not sure if the noodles are made in house but they are a great base for the dish. It's going to be a must have in future visits. Gyoza came filled with chicken, crunchy and full of meat. Gyoza here is a nice compliment to everything else they do well. It will probably be one of the appetizers I order again. Last but not least the beef short ribs came out. This was the one dish I ordered since my lady had picked out all the others. Although they were cooked perfectly I have to say they lacked any real depth of flavor. I was expecting more of an Asian kick to them but nothing. Just tasted like barbecued beef short rib with little seasoning. An overnight marinade would've took the dish a lot further. Our server here was really nice and so were the table runners who made sure our food came out hot and waters full throughout our meal. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu in the future.

4/20/24 around 5:05PM. Walked in and greeted by a gorgeous host. We got seated immediately next to the bar. Bar ambiance is hipster-rustic vibe. I really enjoyed the r&b-hiphop music that they were playing. They have a beautiful mural of a Vietnamese woman riding a bike with lots of flowers around her and on her bike. I love how this restaurant gives modern vibes with a hint of traditional Vietnamese culture. Awesome place for date nights! Take me on a date and I prefer food vs. drinks and appetizers, so please order me the whole food menu lol ;) 3/5 Canh Chua Wings $13+ - Slight can chua taste. If they didn't call in can chua, you would think, 'this would be a strong lemon-pepper flavor'. The powder on the wings reminds me that tamarind powder packet that my dad puts in his sinigang soup broth. Hmmm?! Good for a snack after drinking for sure! I prefer my air fryer chicken wings, add lemon pepper, sprinkle of salt, garlic, butter and vwallahhh! Light, less sodium and definitely less than $13+. 3/5 Dynamite Scallops $12+ - I was thinking it would be savory with a hint of spicy-ness but it tasted sour and spicy. I prefer tasting the authentic scallop taste vs. just tasting all these sauces put together: mayo, siracha, not sure what that sour flavor is from (tamarind powder packet?). 4/5 Garlic Noodles $11+ - Craving garlic noodles and this did not disappoint! I think they added a lot of butter because we knocked out after eating all this lol. I loved the strong garlic flavor! I died for this hehe 5/5 Beef Carpaccio $12+ - I never had beef carpaccio and this is a MUST!!! Tender, juicy and flavorful. I will only come back for this. Hit's the spot! My favorite dish out of all here! I think this restaurant is more for drinks and appetizers. Will definitely come back if I'm feeling like I wana dress up, have a drink and 2-3 beef carpaccios :) I think what threw me off is, 3 dishes were sour. Anyways, our waiter was very attentive and kind, so 4 stars! Happy eat's ya'll!

Upon walking in, I was greeted right away & only had to wait a few minutes before being seated. The restaurant is chic & modern. However, space isn't utilized well, as there's not enough walking space to navigate between tables. My partner continued to get bumped on the back of her chair by staff walking by the entire time we dined in. Also, tables aren't big enough if you order multiple things. Service was good & food came out fast, but eating in experience wasn't comfortable at all. 10/10 - Banh Mi Tacos: these were delicious & filling; each bite was flavorful & super yummy. 10/10 - Garlic Noodles: came out piping hot & tasted sooooo good; noodles had a great chew with lots of cheese & great portion given. 10/10 - Taro Fries: yummy option from just regular french fries & dipping sauce was delicious. 9/10 - Tempura Green Beans: these were fried to perfection with the batter light & crispy; the tamarind rub & monk sauce paired nicely. 7/10 - Garlic Soy Wings: it didn't taste like garlic or soy, couldn't figure out what these tasted like; didn't hate them, but didn't love them either; good size wings, just needed to be cooked longer. 5/10 - Grilled Short Ribs: these had a nice grilled char on them, but overall flavor lacked; a bit too chewy & tough. 1/10 - Salt & Pepper Tofu: these lacked flavor even though it was battered in seasoning, just tasted bland even with the dipping sauce.

New to Sacramento, we arrived from the airport famished. We found Saigon Alley with zero expectations. We were not ready for the dining experience this places offers. From the moment you walk in you notice the hostess and the modern aesthetic. We were quickly brought to our seats by our waiter and we dove right into the menu. We were surprised to see so many options. We went for salt and pepper wings to start. garlic noodles with Shrimp, pho, and an order or pork chops. Amazing amazing amazing. The chicken was so plump and flavorful, the broth of the pho was so delicious so much flavor and amazingly aromatic. The pork chop were so juicy dripping with that sauce and marinade. The garlic noodles arrived with plump seared shrimp. Its was perfect! Honestly, we were pleasantly surprised how well cooked and flavored every bit was. This place was on another level! We only wish we had one in LA. I mean whoever is back there in the kitchen knew what they were doing. Complements to the cooks and also complements to the friendly and welcoming staff. Such a great experience, do not skip on this place. We left full, happy and content. We look forward to our next visit. Keep up the good work. Well done folks!

My daughters love the decor in this location. Service was amazing and very attentive. Food came out very quick it was surprising! Fresh and hot as well! Every dish was amazing! We did try their fries and it wasn't too impressive. Everything else was great! Definitely would recommend and come back!

Came here after playing pickle ball in Natomas. Got the Hanoi pho and shrimp skewer rice plate. The Hanoi pho had good flavorful/refreshing/light broth that hits the spot if you're craving a soothing broth. The shrimp skewers were grilled to a good chew and crisp, and were complemented well by the sauce. The interior decoration is bright and with slight elegance vibe to it. Would definitely come back when I'm in the area!

Absolutely love everything about Saigon Alley. From the staff to the food to the ambience. First: The Ambiance and how they great you is amazing. Friendly faces, great attitudes and quick friendly service. Second: The food options are amazing I love their saigon oho and chicken charbroiled pho, but for this friend outing I only got appetizers, they were only $5 each so I chose quite a few along with my drinks. I recommend the crispy chicken dumplings, the quality, the salt n pepper chicken, the prawns, the green beans and just about everything but that's what I got this time around. I'm a regular here, rather it be door dash or me coming in person. It's always a great time. 10/10 see you guys soon!

When you walk in you are first greeted by servers and can choose to sit at the bar or table depending on the size of your party. The bar is a full bar what looked to be a great bartender who was able to interact with the customers at bar but also recognized when someone was trying to eat. Siting at the table, the staff was very attentive and everyone helped each other to make sure each guest was taken care of. Food: The rice plate I got was large portion. The meat was flavorful and pulled right off the bone when I grabbed it. Only thins I wished was that I got more pickled carrots and daikon or a light vinaigrette for the salad or maybe some good Vietnamese dipping sauce (IYKYK) Cheese wonton were huge and stuffed well. When I bit into one the cream cheese oozed out and it was amazing. Served with basic sweet chili sauce but always a great combo. Ambiance: The atmosphere of the restaurant is very modern with refreshing floral decor. The lighting was slightly low and looking around you can see people having a good time. I would definitely come back to try other dishes.

Great vibe and tasty food. The service is very friendly and thoughtful. They pull the soup to your bowl in front of you so you can taste the pho with the fresh meat. Kind of far from my house but I will consider it every time I visit Natomas.

I was seated right away for a table of one. Service was average overall. Food came out SUPER fast but service was a tad slow. All the food came out before my drink came. Roasted bone marrow - delicious, just a tad too salty and the Chinese donut was too small for the amount of marrow. Need a bigger donut or give two pieces. Canh chua squid - basically salt and pepper squid with a tang. Very tasty, but also just a tad too salty. Nice and crispy and love the spicy green sauce. Banh mi tacos - very delicious. Flavors balanced well Fried Quail - very crispy and seasoned perfectly. Didn't need to add the extra salt/pepper that was included. Typhoon punch - great mocktail. Only annoyance is that the straw was too short and I couldn't drink all of it. I would come back again and try their other dishes.

Food was delicious, service was very friendly! The prices are a bit higher than they should be but I know that it's because it's a more upscale vibe. $7 for a Thai tea?! Surprisingly though, we were told they don't have plasticware for children. We like plastic spoons and forks because it's better for the kids to use so that was a little weird. Would also like to see a kids menu in the future!

Very tasty food, ambiance is very nice and customer service was great!! Recommend 100%

We called ahead and asked for a table for 6 in 10 minutes, they said "no problem". We arrived to a half empty restaurant but no table for 6. They said wait five minutes, then were ignored by the hostess for the next 10 minutes while she yacked on the phone, so we left without being seated. It wasn't even busy. Incredibly lame service. Blaring rap added to the ambience.

This place was really cute. I had a great waiter that was very personable. I got the dynamite mussels, dynamite scallops the bone marrow pho and the guava lemonade. The dynamite scallops were really good, I should've gotten another order of them. They were delicate and tasty. I decided to ordered the dynamite mussels which were good as well. If you have to make a decision between the two I would say to go with the scallops. The bone marrow pho was fine. I wish there was more bone marrow. The guava lemonade was ok, it was a little sour, but still good.

I was a bit overwhelmed by the ambience. I expected a simple pho shop, not a up scale pho place. Service was great and I love the staff.

The food and service were great and the choices for vegetarians are pretty good. The ambiance is intended to attract a younger crowd, and not a traditional patronage of Vietnamese food

Wow I feel like my last review was well received because since then they've made several changes. To start, regular soup spoons are back! We came on a random Wednesday night everything is spooked out for Halloween. Along with new drinks there's a whole new menu. We ordered the beef betel lettuce wraps. They were excellent. It came with all the veggies you needed to wrap it in. A new item section was the Saigon specialties, they included a combo meal with a choice of meat along with veggies and your choice or garlic noodles, red rice or fried rice. I went with the shaken beef which a new item they never had with red rice. It was good the beef was nice and tender and rice was pretty flavorful. My husband ordered the specialty plate with garlic noodles and pork chops. He loved it as well. Another new menu item was a the seafood mango papaya salad. It was good, sweet and sour flavor. We wished it was a little more spicy but we added it after. Another great change is there was a kids combo for $10 and the noodle and broth bowl went back down to $10. We will definitely need to come back and try all the other new menu options. Service was great as usual. I'm glad my husband convinced me to come back tonight.

I've been to Saigon Alley a couple times and have really enjoyed it. It's usually pretty busy but they have a ton of seating. You can sit upstairs on the ground floor or at their fully stocked bar. The staff are really nice and accommodating and the food is great! I got the Saigon Pho this time. It is very warm. Has good broth flavor and is large. My one comment would be that the meat could be sliced a little thinner. I would recommend this place for a night out:)

The food was delicious very authentic and fresh. The service was attentive and the surroundings were clean & pleasant

Very irritated with who ever changed the menu, very inconsiderate and incredibly rude to change such a delicious menu into something mediocre! Whoever removed the bone marrow pho, tempura green beans, and Wagyu Banh Mi is the absolute WORST thing to happen to this place. This use to be the spot I would love to come to and now that rainy season is here, the bone marrow pho and donut are not on the menu ughhh i hate this place now. Just a reminder of how inconsistent businesses in Natomas truly are, they have something great then randomly change menus into crappy cheap food, then got out of business. I brought 4 people here thinking this would be the spot to brag about and boy did I feel so stupid. The quality is not the same, menu was changed and a total flop, so whoever did this, you totally suck. Should this place go back to the original menu, I'd be back, until then, never again will I come back or bring any guest.

We came into the restaurant looking for a table but was unfortunately greeted with a busy crowd. Luckily we were still seated quickly however the area which we were offered seemed to arranged hastily. It was so small that it could barely accommodate our food, and they had to pull up an extra side table just to fit everything. While the service was friendly, this last-minute arrangement detracted from an otherwise enjoyable dining experience. We ordered the calamari, the banh mi tacos, and the Saigon Pho. The calamari was solid having a nice light batter giving it a good crunch and the aioli gave off a delicate yet impactful cilantro flavor. The banh mi tacos were quite delicious, it had all the qualities of a banh mi however the pickled carrots was a bit too overpowering. The Saigon pho was also good as well but nothing outstanding. Overall would definitely recommend for the starters.

We did take out, but the restaurant was inviting. Would definitely try dine in. My husband had a pork banh mi sandwich and fries. He really liked it. I had their banh mi tacos with chicken and they were excellent. Ready to go back!

After tonight's experience, I don't think I'll be back. The Asian bartender is a super nice guy, but all the girls that work there are incredibly rude and dismissive. They've changed the menu yet again and raised the prices. I ordered Saigon pho and it was lacking flavor, so I asked for a side of fish sauce and they had the nerve to charge me extra. Business will continue to slow down if they keep this up.

Cocktails continue to be a fun adventure to cruise through. The appetizers are tasty and plentiful to choose from. Tried the pho tonight for the first time and they were both tasty, too (Hanoi & Bone Marrow). Asked for no green onions on my pho and it came with, which was a service hiccup, but a minor issue. We had our kiddo with us this trip who is not yet a super adventurous eater,but she happily munched the taro fries and a side of rice with a side soft-fried egg which were priced very reasonably. Thanks, Saigon Alley!

Brilliant menu change! I always had to choose between the garlic noodles and other dishes. Now they've combined and this is just the best menu change I've ever experienced! Thank you! Chefs kiss!

We have Dashed this place many times, but after eating here in person, I don't think I can Dash this ever again - it just doesn't do the food justice! So for starters, the place is adorbs! Such a fresh and clean, super chill vibe. I LOVE the decor, from the subtle room divider at the host podium, to the beautiful mural, to the gorgeous bar with the cool cabinetry detail... Simply a lovely place to sit and really your enjoy your meal Now, onto the food. After searching through the menu, my daughter and I couldn't decide on an entrée because we were too intrigued by the apps. So, we ordered nothing but appetizers and then nabbed some pho to go so that we could enjoy it for lunch the next day. Our apps came out with perfect timing - not all at once, but quickly enough that everything still stayed hot while we sampled our little hearts out. The service was outstanding; attentive, but not overbearing. Like I said, this is a go-to for us to Dash. But in the future, I think we will be doing all of our Saigon Alley, eating in-house, so as not to miss out on the experience, and the exquisiteness of freshly made, straight from the kitchen Vietnamese food.

My daughter has been wanting to try this place out for some time and we recently picked this place to eat for our family dinner. The restaurant is in a nice area and had plenty of parking. Inside the vibe of the restaurant was great, tv for the games and bar on the right side and plenty of seating on the left side. Customer service was great as we were greeted as soon as we entered and seated shortly after. We decided after looking at the menu that we wanted to try a little bit of everything. The food did not disappoint and was completely gone by the end of the night. Knocked a star only for the price, it was pretty expensive for the portion size. Would still come back and recommend to others.

What an amazing place to find respite on a cold and rainy Winter night in Sacramento. It's a clean space with a modern touch. The restaurant is able to kick things up a notch by having a full bar with specialty cocktails for the holidays. Service was great but the true star is the Pho. We ordered chicken (Ga) and steak (Tai) pho. The pho comes out dry in a bowl and then the server pours the rich broth on top. I've never seen that done but it really takes the dining experience to the next level, imho. The Chicken pho was probably the best I've had anywhere because you can taste the char from the grilled meat in the broth. It really just adds a depth and richness to the dish that I haven't had anywhere else. You can just taste the freshness in all the ingredients. C'est délicieux. Muahhh. I understand there's a Saigon Alley in midtown and I can't wait to give it a try! You will not regret giving this place a try. I will be back for sure!!!

first timer and i genuinely enjoyed the vibe and interior aesthetic. there's ample amount of parking since it's located in a plaza. the banh mi taco was all i had and it was $8 for 2. i would say that i consider this on the more expensive side of things but i genuinely did enjoy my meal. i requested for no onion for my tacos. the jalapeño even though it was just sitting on top, and removed post photo, gave the taco a slight kick to it. the sauce was genuinely my favorite. the meat was also flavorful and juicy. i can't wait to come to this spot again and try other items ! their garlic noodle apparently is really popular!
