“Ramen comes to mind when the weather is cool and raining! Ever since I heard Pipo Ramen & Rice is on the Top 100 Places to Eat in Sacramento, I have been wanting to try this place. It's located in South Sacramento, off 65th Street, in this quiet plaza with plenty of parking.We came here for dinner a little before 6:00 pm on weekdays, and we were the only customers. The place is clean, tidy, and spacious with a high ceiling. We sat down and were given the menu and water right away. At first, I thought this was a Japanese/Ramen restaurant because of the name. After looking at the menu, it turns out it's a Thai restaurant. Either way, I enjoy both Japanese and Thai food.I love duck, so I immediately knew I wanted the Crispy Duck Fried Rice. I was surprised that the duck breast was served on top of the basil fried rice, instead of diced and cooked together with the fried rice. I really like that because I can see what part of the duck I'm eating. It's also delicious! The duck was crispy and savory. The basil and Thai seasoning add unique flavors to the fried rice. Generous portion. I would definitely get this again. 5/5We also got the Tonkotsu Ramen. It's your typical ramen with the standard toppings and ramen egg (ajituske tamago). The broth is creamy and not too salty. It really is perfect for the rainy weather. 4/5The service was great. The server was friendly and checked on us a couple of times. We can't wait to come back and taste other dishes.“
“JP Thai Kitchen is a hidden gem on Freeport Blvd in Sacramento. The food is delicious with an excellent service. The dining room is a little dated but comfortable. I have the Roasted Duck Curry and Spicy Fish (I want it mild). I also ordered brown rice for the curry. All the dishes are delicious. However, I hope the Roasted Duck Curry is a little more creamy. It is more like a curry soup; even the curry tastes very well.Parking: ADA parking availableKid-friendliness: The restaurant has many dishes the kids will likeWheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is wheelchair friendly“
“??Wonton in Chili Oil - It smells garlicky and good, medium spicy level. The filling is good, a pork & shrimp stuffing, the garlic is the major flavor through the dumpling. This is one of the spicer versions of this dish that I've eaten.I would come back to try other things.“
“Let me tell you.this was my first time going and I ordered online. Glad I did. It was packed with a line waiting due to no seats...( good sign) I pass everyone and go to register to pick up my order.. I got 2 #2 pho ( good) and a shrip and sausage spring roll..( fresh) I drove aways because i seen 4.5 stars they had and had to try.. everything was amazing I will be definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends.. keep up the good work and thank you.“
“Tried this place for the first time and I got to say it's definitely my new favorite Thai place! Got the pad see ew, pork ribs, and Tom yum soup. All the food was cooked fresh and was delicious!!! Would highly recommend. Staff was super friendly as well!“
“Unexpected place that has great food & service. The Tom Yum Goong soup was the perfect on a cold rainy day. Perfect balance of spice and ingredients. Was able to smell the ribs before they arrived at the table. There were great also! The waitress was friendly, timely and responsive. Definitely a place to try if you're in the mood for Thai food.“
“Good family restaurant, good service, good food, fair prices. Came in for lunch before heading back home and I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend for some Vietnamese com tam (broken rice). The portions are a good size and I couldn't even finish it. Will come back again if I'm in the area.“
“Today is my first visit to the restaurant. I am impressed with the quality of food, the quality of service, and the quality of the atmosphere. I am not typically lucky with holes in the wall, but I must say this is definitely an exception. The gentleman David, who took my order, is awesome, and so are his cooks! Thank you!Vegetarian options: Veggie chow mein.“
“Great pho with wonderful broth and tender meat. I got the pho with tripe and steak tips - tripe was super tender (fantastic because tripe has a tendency to be super chewy if overcooked). The noodles were good but I think they were a little past "al dente" if that can even be a term used for rice noodles lol. Overall, really enjoyed my food, and really hit the spot for my craving for pho.“
“Been to this place about 5 times now and every time I have tried a different dish and all of them have been on point in terms of flavor, portion, and temperature.They are a very small joint can sit about 7 small parties. So I think a lot of people order take out.Highly recommend this place to anyone in Sac looking for some fire Thai food for a great price point.“
“Being in the road I eat out alot at times. I'm glad to have found my new Pho spot. Clean, good service and the Beef Pho is fire! If I eat at a spot 2 days in a row it's the one. Today was my second day. I will be back. Mmm... Good!“
“I recently dined at Bodhi Bowl and was pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of their vegetarian dishes. The menu offered a wide selection of flavorful and healthy options. I particularly enjoyed the creative use of fresh ingredients in their dishes., I would recommend Bodhi Bowl to anyone looking for delicious vegetarian food.“
“This place serves best chinese & vietnamese foods.. i love the Pork Kidney with egg noodle! The staffs can speak Vietnamese/ English and friendly. The place is not huge but big enough.. so be aware of quing. Overall, i will be back when i have a chance to visit Sacramento again ?“
“Been meaning to try this restaurant for a long time but every time I visited the wait was always over 45 minutes. Finally decided to wait this time and I'm so glad I did! The food was so delicious that I came back two days later. Both times our wait was 45 minutes long but very worth it. I can see why they are so popular! The space is small and seating is quite limited. They do have outdoor seating but it wasn't available due to the cold, rainy weather. They open their Yelp waitlist on some days so I would recommend checking to see if the waitlist is open and joining prior to heading to the restaurant. There's only street parking but I didn't have trouble finding free parking on the same block. Both times we ordered their garlic noodles and vegetable dumplings. We also ordered their mapo tofu, garlic eggplant, and spicy wonton. Food came out super quick after ordering and was piping hot. Portions are generous and everything was so delicious!! My favorite had to be their garlic noodles and garlic eggplant! The garlic noodles are perfectly cooked and seasoned and so tasteful! The garlic eggplant is one of the best ones I've had! The eggplants were soft, savory yet sweet and pairs so well with rice or noodles! I also really liked the mapo tofu as it was flavorful, although it was spicier than I had expected. The vegetable dumplings were perfectly steamed and the filling was full of texture and flavor. The dipping sauce was soy sauce based and I would have liked the dipping sauce to be more vinegary, but it still complemented well with the dumplings. I didn't try the spicy wonton but my friend enjoyed it and it comes with a spicy dipping sauce. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I've tried in Sacramento. Would highly recommend!! Definitely suggest coming with friends and ordering family-style so everyone gets to try everything! I really appreciate that they have a variety of vegetarian options and is clearly indicated in their menu. I will definitely be back to try all the other vegetarian options!“
“If you're turned away at the run down exterior of the old 50's strip mall, turn around and give this place a try. The locals come here for good reason! The noodles are great and all the accompanying dishes are great. They make their own boba teas too. The thing is you got to get past the exterior, the place is busy. I was a little hesitant as I put my hand on the door but I knew the instant we entered it was a hidden gem. Do you want tasty things to eat. This is the place!“
“The staff are all wonderful. I love the options on their new Vegan menu. All of the dishes in my group from their regular menu smelled great and looked awesome.Vegetarian options: They offer a full page of vegan options and the staff were extremely helpful.“
“Food was amazing! Mango salad was perfectly balanced. Bun Bo Hue broth, condiments and side veggies were delicious. The only thing I would say is that the meats need to be cooked longer so they can be more tender. The escargot was delicious as well but a bit chewy for me. My partner did enjoy the entire platter himself though. The razor clams were perfectly seasoned IMO, but it may have been a bit on the sweet side for my partner. Lastly, the service was pretty good. The owner came by to check on us quite often and made small talk. Overall, the experience was pretty awesome. Give it a try!“
“Thai - The House of Authentic ThaiWow, lived up to the name; signature fresh and tasty ingredients I am used to getting at good Thai restaurants. The portion sizes are very generous, enough to satisfy any normal size appetite. It’s a small cosy location, the kind of place you find close to universities (Sac State in this case). Definitely worth a visit.“
“This Korean BBQ restaurant exceeded all my expectations! The quality of the meat was exceptional, and the variety of cuts offered was impressive. The interactive grilling experience at the table added an extra layer of fun to the dining experience. The banchan (side dishes) were plentiful and delicious, complementing the BBQ perfectly. The atmosphere was lively, and the staff were attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring we had a fantastic meal from start to finish. I can't wait to go back and indulge in more of their mouthwatering offerings“
“Fast service, nice experience for a date or with friends, adult friendly. I wouldn't recommend bringing kids, but teens are okay. The food is a bit pricey but makes it up with the freshness and great tasteVegetarian options: The menu lets you know what is included in the sushi and lets you know if it's Vegetarian approved.“
“I wish they had a place like this in Tahoe! We stop here 2-3 times a year on our way through the valley. The Red Ramen is my go to. Get it and you will not be disappointed. I’m not a mushroom fan but even the mushrooms in this dish are amazing. Can’t wait to go back.“
“5 stars for kalbi jjim, i can see why it's the main star here it's pretty delicious! I tried their haemul kalguksu too which was also good, packed full of mussels, shrimp and has a cute sized crab in it as well. I don't eat shellfish but had to try and enjoyed the noodles. I definitely want to try their other soups here. Enough leftovers to last me 2-3 nights lol. Wang Mandu was also wanging. They were humongous.“
“Went there with my sister for lunch. It wasn’t bad just we asked for a straw multiple times lol finally got one after we were already about to leave. The sushi was good but it kept falling apart when you tried to pick it up with chopsticks .Wasn’t bad but could’ve been better. They had boba there also so that was a plus.“
“Yummmmmm!!! My first time having this type of noodle soup dishes. The broth was super flavorful and the noodles were cooked to perfection. The crispy pork was in fact CRISPY. I love how they garnished the dish with pickled cabbages, pickled long beans, peanuts, and bamboo shoots. It really elevates the dish. If you ever try this place, don't forget to add their spicy chili oil! That brings the dish to a whole new level.“
“This place has great food, my daughter and I order the udon, green onion pancake, veggie gyoza, and amazing garlic edamame (one of the best I've had, if you like onion and some greens peppers with it). Packed with flavors and Thai tea to hit the spot. Decently priced and great service and parking lot.Vegetarian options: They have a vegan udon and veggie ramen. And some veggie appetizers.Parking: Small parking lot but manageable. And there is street parking“
“Best pho in Sacramento, hands down! This spot is owned by a Vietnamese family, who will be the ones cooking and serving your food for you. Their service is always 10/10, they're fast and accommodating. The restaurant is clean and well maintained, prices are awesome as well.“
“Everything about our experience was AMAZING! Service was fast and attentive. The food was so fresh and great flavor. We ordered so many different things! Fresh rolls, cheese wonton, potstickers, and fried calamari for appetizers. Tom yum soup, BBQ chicken, basil fried rice, and black pepper vegetables with tofu. The Thai coffee was perfect. I will be returning <3Vegetarian options: Many of the dishes you can pick tofu as the protien. One of the few Thai restaurants in Sac that you can get tofu in the Tom yum soup.“
“Just recently found this hidden gem. Probably the best pho I've ever had! I like to order No.4 beef pho. Big portion but the price is still lower. It can be very busy sometimes, so after you are stated you have to wait for a while to order and get your food delivered.“
“Walked in, place was clean, open , airy. Staff was extremely friendly, helpful with menu and suggestions on the food. The food was tasty, plentiful, quick and delicious!! Can't say enough about the staff. Friendly and top notch!! We will be back.“
“I got the C1 to share with my boyfriend. It was massive, it's the rice plate with everything on it essentially. We got the grilled pork and it came with, egg roll, fried egg, pork floss, sausage, etc. This really hit the spot, especially since we haven't had rice plates in a while. 100% recommend Bon Mua for rice plates, it's always delicious!“
“The dumplings had thick wrappers, and while the beef and pork chive flavors were ordinary, the portion size justified the price. The savory and spicy chili sauce complemented the dish well, while the sweet sesame sauce added a pleasant contrast.“
“First time eating inside this place, but I have ordered takeout from another location in sac. We came around dinner time and we're immediately seated. I had high expectations since I knew their food was good. I ordered something different than my usual (beef pho) and instead ordered bun rieu. I've had the authentic dish before at a viet party and it was bomb so I also had high expectations because of this.Overall the bun rieu broth was great!! Very flavorful and I could taste the crab in the soup. I loved the abundance of crab meat balls and the noodles were cooked nicely. The tofu on the other hand was dry and tasteless but the soup made up for it. 9/10. My sister ordered the banh mi, grilled pork. She gives it a 9/10. It was a bit on the pricier side for the size it was but it was delicious and the extra cabbage and cilantro on the side was great. My sisters bf ordered the bun Bo hue and didn't have the same experience as we did and rated it a 1/10. He said that the soup wasn't flavorful and the spicy oil was the only thing that gave it some flavor, the noodles were over cooked and the beef tasted like it was boiled in water for too long. Service was good though and the vibes were chill.“
“Exploring this locale as an out-of-towner, I opted for the vegetarian pho—impressive flavors and incredibly fresh! Despite the modest staff, a quick and efficient service was delivered by a diligent female and male duo. The spot is impeccably clean, although not swanky. While the multitasking waitress, who also handles cooking and cleaning, may not check in frequently, their politeness stood out. I also had a Diet Coke, and the final bill, including tax, amounted to $16.50. Cheaper than most fast-food nowadays.“
“Very friendly when picking up my order, had it ready and hot. I always order "medium" spice level when trying a new place to make sure that I can taste the food and judge the heat level. The food was very good, and man oh man did the heat come on! Definitely more on the hot end of the spectrum but no complaints from this heatonist. Already plotting my next trip.“
“Take out lunch today was excellent! Together we tried five different dishes (take-out). All were great.Everyone noticed the quality of the chicken in the pad Thai — so delicious.Another highlight was that the five orders were packed conveniently in a cardboard box, which made my drive home easy. For the Phnom Penh noodle soups, the soup came in a separate container from the noodles and meat, which kept the noodles from getting soggy. Thank you. Can’t wait to order from here again.“
“I'm a pho lover, so I have tried out lots of places but I got to said that this is one of the best pho places that I have tried in Sacramento. Definitely recommend it especially if you want to get good pho early on a cold morning because they do open early than other places.“
“A nice Vietnamese restaurant in the area. The waitresses are nice & friendly. We had the pho Dax biet large size & it was a refreshing broth. The price is quite more expensive if compared to other Vietnamese restaurant. But definitely worth to try.“
“This place is my go-to restaurant for inexpensive, simple yet delicious noodle soup.I had the combo noodle soup. It had shrimp, chicken, and veggies; it was delicious. My partner had beef stew, which was also delicious. Give this restaurant a try. You won't regret it. ?“
“Wow this place actually slaps. A Viet coworker recommended to me the dry clear noodles here bc that's what they're known for, and said the pho and rice plates are good too (but I only tried the dry noodles). Took a good 40+ min for our (party of 6) order to come out but worth the wait. My critical family approved of the food. Tried dry noodles, sweet and sour soup, claypot fish, and spare ribs. The ribs were whatever but it came with pickled veggies which complimented the ribs. The sweet and sour soup was so good and my grandparents were raving about it nonstop. The dry noodles were good after I added some vinegar to it. Would come again if I had a lot of time to wait.“
“I have tried many Chinese restaurants in Sac. But haven't found any I've been crazy about. This place was surprisingly good. I just had the chowmein and broccoli beef but they were both delicious, lots of meat and not greasy at all, looking forward to trying other things there.“
“Lovely atmosphere and outstanding service! The spring rolls with pork and yummy peanut sauce were delicious. Chicken stir-fry also delish--vegetables were cooked yet still slightly crispy. Pho broth very tasty. Pleasurable dining experience“
