We went to a DMV nearby and having lunch here with my mom afterwards. The phở is amazing.

Lovely hole in the wall family run restaurant in a South Sac strip mall. Wonderful aroma greets you as you step in the door. Only a couple of tables full when my friends and I arrived. I already knew what I planned to order. Know that there are more items available on the menu than what you see from the website. Food came out fairly quickly. First we had the lemon cured shrimp and cabbage salad. Light, refreshing, crunchy and tangy. Next up were the wok-tossed clams with shrimp chips. This dish has incredible flavor and the shrimp chips tasted like they were fresh-made. The basil-onion-chili sauce on the clams sang. Chips were light as air and delicious. Crispy salt and pepper calamari seemed to have a cornmeal breading and a sweet sour aioli dipping sauce. They were piping hot, fresh and delicious. We could not have chosen better starters but I'd like to come back for the quail. Our mains came out next. One spicy pho, one braised duck with egg noodle soup, a wonton spicy sate soup and the Bobo butter crunchy beef. I loved the flavor of the wontons. Ordered with egg noodles per our server's recommendation. Delicious broth but not spicy enough for my liking. A little more chili oil and I went to town on this bowl of deliciousness. Now for the star of the night, the Bobo butter crispy beef. Intense flavor in succulent strips of tender beef topped with crunchy sesame seeds. If I can't figure out how to make this at home, it will be a DoorDash go-to for sure. So much flavor! One tip, bring your own containers for leftovers. The restaurant charges for to-go containers. Great portions, decent prices and cute place. Check it out!

Went here with my family and had the best experience! Me and my mom got the Pho Fillet Mignon & it came with the most delicious soft piece of beef rib. We had two beef appetizer plates and they were 10/10. My brother, dad, and fiancé all finished their bowls of pho to the very bottom. It was so flavorful and the broth was perfect. Lynn & Patrick are the owners and chefs and are so sweet. Best pho in Sacramento that I've found!

If you order the large bowl, it automatically comes with the rib bone! It was delicious and highly recommend it. The pho broth tastes very fresh and reminds me the pho in Vietnam when I visited 10 years ago. Bobo butter crunchy beef was pretty damn good! I've never had anything like this so I wasn't sure what to expect. The flavors are delicious and the crunchy texture makes it better

Craving soup Vietnamese soup! This is the SPOT! Everyone must get the LARGE pho to get the beef rib inside of the bowl. The beef rib is only with the Large pho bowl. I believe it is only maybe a couple dollars more for a Large and it is so worth it. This place downstairs charge you a leg and an arm. Anywhere else they would charge at least $25 for that bowl of pho. The soup is perfectly seasoned and salted. It isn't watered down or flavorless like hot water where I need to put in so much sauces and condiments to make my own broth at the table that I'm paying for. Their Vietnamese coffee I think is LEES coffee. It's kind of expensive. I just come here for the pho. Service- it's the typical Asian restaurant service. They come to you if you ask for them. Don't expect too much, but at least they come to you and give you water and greet you. Ambiance- the typical Asian restraint, again, don't expect too much. It is at least not dirty and the tables are not sticky.

This spot is a must-visit for anyone craving Vietnamese staples with a modern twist. The butter beef is absolutely insane. We stuck with the classics and ordered the pho and banh canh cua, and they did not disappoint. Straight forward service and located by Seafood Market.

Southeast Asian street food restaurant in Sacramento. You can expect to find more than just the standards like pho & pork chops rice plate. Pho Ru has lesser known delicious regional dishes, along with new & original dishes using the Southeast Asian palette of flavors. Their pho is what they are known for, but you can try their butter beef rice dish or their thick crab soup w tapioca noodles.

Update: it was a cold day yesterday so me and buddy stopped there for pho! If you like beef and are looking for a protein boost, they have a filet mignon pho that comes with a spareribs! I was enticed by the owner and I was not disappointed! This spot probably has the best pho north of San Jose!
