Asian Cafe Sacramento Reviews
If you’re looking for a place that serves the most comforting bowl of pho and a drink that refreshes your soul, this is it! From the moment you walk in, the restaurant’s spotless and welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for an amazing meal. You can tell they take pride not only in their food but in keeping everything perfectly clean and inviting. The pho is absolutely incredible—rich, flavorful broth, tender noodles, and fresh herbs that taste like they were picked just for your bowl. Every bite feels homemade with love and care. Pair it with their Thai lemon drink—sweet, tangy, and perfectly balanced—and you’ve got the ultimate comfort combo. But what truly makes this spot special is Pat, the owner. Pat always goes above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of, treating every customer like family. It’s rare to find that kind of genuine hospitality these days. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, you’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next trip back. A true hidden gem!
Nice place for lunch. Friendly waitress and staff making and serving the food and drinks. A large variety to choose from and they also make boba drinks here too. The Thai boat noodles and Pad Thai were great. The Thai coffee was a good pairing with the food that we ordered.
Been coming here for years! They never disappoint! Red shrimp curry is my alll time fave :)
One of the best places to grab some bomb Lao food! Definitely a must try. Mok pa is so good!
Eating here felt like I was eating at a Lao party. Very authentic and very flavorful. I LOVED it here, and the owner is very very sweet. I had a very lovely time here. It’s honestly 10 stars! Would definitely come back here multiple times to eat again.
I love this place so much. I order all the time and it’s the only place I’ve found that has blood! I love them and they always listen to my special requests like extra blood or basil when I am craving it. Also a great papaya salad and I love that they offer fermented fish. It’s really the key! Been coming here for years now and I haven’t had anything bad once. Give them all your love!!
Some of the best food in Sacramento!!! Nice hidden find for anyone looking for Thai style food.

Friendly service. Came to just snack on spring rolls (so good!) because I’m waiting for AAA to get keys in my car. But I can’t wait to come back for lunch some time soon because I’m Nak Muay and I love this culture!
I went in not knowing what I want. The owner was telling me about his brisket and sticky rice they have with seafood sauce. He was very knowledgeable and funny. Great sense of humor. The food was 10/10. The rice was amazing alone and the sauce was delicious. As he said it would be.
Don't let the location dissuade you. Give this small business a chance. The food is very good and the owners are extremely nice. We've been several times and tried many dishes. Recommend green curry, pad thai, fried glass noodles, papaya salad, among other dishes.
Super friendly customer service, greeted when entered and overall good pricing! Will come again!!
Great hole in the wall, mom and pop shop. Owners are always welcoming and friendly. Foods are always made fresh to order using only the best quality ingredients.
One of those hole in the wall family places with delicious food and nice people. My favorite kind of restaurant. Curry was on point and the fresh spring rolls were served with a delicious creamy peanut sauce.
Just moved out here from the bay, and this is hands down the best spot to find Wonton Soup, Chicken fried rice, and Beef Broccoli. So far thats all I've tried but it's so damn good. The Chili sauce is extremely spicy so beware if you like spice go easy on it. 100% recommend to anyone around town or anyone who came from out of town.
My wife and I moved areas and wanted to find a good Thai food place and a lot of the others in the area weren't quite what we were looking for. I just went here this last weekend and the green curry is sooo good! Plus the prices are really good compared to others in the area. This will be our go to spot for Thai food.
In an oldschool area but with amazing service and bomb authentic Lao/Thai food you HAVE TO COME HERE. Dining in was a great choice for me and my girl. Best asian foods in the sacramento area.
This place is a diamond 💎 in the rough. The service was great and the food was amazing. Everything was fresh and tasty. It's been a while since I've been seeing this place and I only wish I had tried it sooner. I highly recommend it!
We were in Sacramento for the weekend from Canada 🇨🇦 August 14,2022 and found this restaurant by accident. We stopped by to eat pho but end up ordering lao food because the owner is Lao. Ordered like sticky rice, larp,beef soup (lao's style),papaya salad (som tum),and few more. All taste great and the owner Pat also very friendly ,great conversation and thanks for making original lao food for us.
Staff was friendly and offered suggestions when we asked. Very attentive. Food was very good as well. Tried spring rolls, broccoli beef, and red curry

Upon first impression it looked a bit dingy and unkept. The owner was friendly, the food was prepared promptly and tastes good. The only thing that bothered me was—the restaurant was humid. No air conditioning. No ceiling fans. It was rather uncomfortably warm so we ate quickly and left.
