“ Came in during lunch time and it was busy! We were told to sit at any empty table available and we grabbed ourselves paper menus they had at the front upon entering. This was my first time here but my mom has been here a few times before and enjoys their banh mi! I saw they had banh xeo and couldn't resist as it's one of my favorite dishes. The food came out super quick and usually at other places, banh xeo takes a lot longer. I was so hungry thought that I forgot to take photos of the food! While we were eating, someone from the City of Elk Grove came in to give the owner some sort of award plaque. The restaurant's manager accepted the reward and they took a photo. We thought this was a neat thing to witness. Not sure exactly what the award was for but happy they're being recognized! Looking forward to coming back to try some more menu items! ”

“ A friend and I were spending a night in Elk Grove and we wanted a light dinner after a hefty lunch. Luckily Pho Ivy was nearby and we thought Pho would be perfect for this rainy weather. We were greeted by the nice staff as soon as we walked in and ordered two Dac Biets. The pho came out and it smelled delicious. The broth was simple, nothing too crazy. Very familiar smells and tastes and super warm. The star of the show was the different cuts of meats in the bowl. Each cut looked it was top tier quality and had the perfect mixture of meat and fat. Each time I dip that meat in the Siracha and Hoisin combo it was great. Solid pho with solid staff. Each and every staff came by and checked up on us every few minutes. It was comforting to see that they made sure our waters were filled and if we needed anything else. You usually don't see this much attention with a young staff but they were on point. ”

“ I'm a big fan of Pho Ivy! Their spring rolls and noodle dishes are easily the best in town. This spot used to be home to East West Café, another Vietnamese restaurant, and I'm glad to see it still serving amazing Vietnamese cuisine. The service is always warm and efficient, and the fact that it's consistently packed speaks volumes about its quality. I can't wait to try their banh mi soon--I've heard great things! I first discovered this place when my aunt brought their spring rolls to a family potluck, and I was blown away. Highly recommend! ”

“ Weekday Lunch Service was quick, staff pleasant, place was bustling with diners and takeout orders. Parking is easy. The spiciest BBH (bun bo hue) I have tried at any Vietnamese restaurant. Usually I would need to add jalapeños etc. for some heat but this was quite spicy on its own (beyond medium hot - my lips were burning). Plenty of meats in the bowl (pork blood cubes/cha huyet), Vietnamese pork bologna/cha lua, beef and pork slices). No pork hock (which is a plus for me). ”

“ Great location, great food, great service and good portion of meal. Calamari is the bomb! Chicken sautéed with vegetables is awesome! I was doubting the calamari in the beginning but I tried it anyway, it's awesome taste and very crunchy. Make sure bring your appetite when you munch here cause it's too much for one person. Ambiance is great! ”

“ I think this is my new favorite Vietnamese place in EG! Their short chubby spring rolls were great and the rice plates were huge with ample portions for leftovers. The grilled pork and shrimp were tasty while the pickled veggies were a great palate cleanser. Our friend got the pho and thought it was pretty good too. It was pretty crowded on a Wednesday night but we got seated quickly. We definitely will return to try more of the menu! ”

“ First time trying this place out. We needed a new Vietnamese restaurant and we saw the reviews for this spot so we decided to give it a try. We ordered two pho bowls, the short rib plate and some shrimp and pork spring rolls. Overall, portion and cost wise , everything was good. As for the flavor, we really enjoyed the pho! The spring rolls had steamed pork, and we were expecting grilled pork. Unfortunately the description doesn't specify what kind it is. Next time we'll just order the shrimp rolls. And lastly the short ribs. They were just ok, nothing great. We've had short ribs several times at different locations, and this is our least favorite. We'll be back for more pho, and ready to try other items. ”

“ Pho ivy is definitely one of my favorite pho spots in elk Grove. The spot provides bang for your buck with quality and quantity for one of the more affordable prices for a bowl of in the area. Plenty of parking and customer service was great even when coming towards closing I felt like there was no judgment or a rush to get you out , which are greatly appreciated. Even the customer base had many different ethnicities. If you haven't been here before, I would definitely recommend stopping by. ”

“ Met my girlfriends for lunch and everything was delicious. We met at noon and by the time we left the place was packed and there was a line out the door. Plenty of room for lots of tables, clean, and comfortable. ”
