Reviews for Saigon Alley Kitchen + Bar in Sacramento, CA

I had the most delicious noodle soup/noodles broth of my life! This place was surprisingly so good. Ambiance of the restaurant... was also nice but only disappointment was the small table we had in ground floor. And service was also very pleasant. Thank youguys. Read more

Surprisingly enjoyed my date night here. I initially had hesitation trying this place due to fears of nonauthenticity; I've... eaten a lot of good vietnamese food. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the food I got. In the spirit of ?n nh?u, which means food you eatwhile drinking alcohol, I loved the experience here. Where they really shine are their drinks. Jackfruit smoothie (spiked) wasdelicious. And the other drink was great as well. [And most importantly, presented well!! Given that the drinks around around$15 a pop] The tapas are okay. It's not the best vietnamese food I've had in my life but I was surprised to find a wide rangemenu like betal leaf beef (so good!!), garlic noodles (they were gracious enough to remake it without parmesan for me), and theclassic spring roll. I'm excited to try the pho xlb next time and other fusion type foods. I think if you're looking to try newtypes of vietnamese food outside of pho, its a fun experience. My only gripe with food presentation was that a dish waspresented with a big chip on it...which I don't think should be a thing at this price point. The service was amazing and theMidtown vibes are awesome here. Music is a little loud inside the restaurant but the fairy lights outside are nice. Read more

Wonderful cocktails, delicious food and chill vibes! Would highly recommend for lunch or dinner and drinks! Have never had... anything on menu I didn't like! Read more

Food: I got the pho bo nuong, which comes with pork short ribs. Delicious broth and everything cooked well. Also got the... dynamite scallop portion is small, but it is delicious and can be turned into tapas. Garlic noodles are the best thing. Verytasty and garlicky, the noodles were nice and thick, very nice chewy texture. Tofu tacos are surprisingly good. I would liketo order it but a very nice vegetarian option and delicious. Flavors were on there. The place itself is very nice and cozy. Itgave like a nice chill and a relaxing vibe. The menu was simple and not too overpowering with many options. The service is verynice and respectful. They will check up on you to make sure you are fine and see if we are satisfied with the food. Parking: Iwent at night, so it's a little okay to find parking. Definition try finding a parking garage, and it is free on weekends. Read more

My niece wanted to get food after her soccer game and as usual, we got pho. She wanted to come to this place, and I gotta say... it's wonderful. The service is great; super friendly staff! Our server was lovely and had great recommendations. SpoilerAlert!!?? : When you get the noodles&broth they pour the broth for you at the table. It was a fun little surprise! It's also ina great location, bunch of shops around and within walking distance from a lot of places. Next time you're in downtown lookingfor a cute new place to try, give Saigon Alley a shot!

This is one of the best restaurants in Sacramento. Especially for a date night. They offer so many different small plates that... you could eat here 2 or 3 times and not try everything. I highly recommend coming during happy hour or on Sunday (all day happyhour) to really try all their food. It is delicious and the bartenders are above and beyond as well. Read more

I’ve been in Sacramento for about a year, but I haven’t gotten a chance to explore too much with the pandemic. If I had... visited Saigon Alley before, this would certainly not have been my first time. The food here is so much fun! They have a happyhour menu with small plate options where prices are reduce if every customer gets an entree or cocktail/mocktail, which meansthere’s so much variety for everyone. Out of the small plates, the beans and fried mackerel were my favorite. The chickenhearts were great as well, but they did taste a bit gamey. If you came to this Vietnamese restaurant for pho, you won’t gowrong with the Pho Saigon Alley. Read more

We were seated without a wait, just in time before the kitchen closed too!! We ordered family style and essentially shared all... plates ordered. Perfect portions, and ended the night being just the right amount of full - not overly stuffed. This was also myfirst experience with the broth for the pho being poured into the bowl before me - talk about fancy! Lol. The food did notdisappoint, the service did not disappoint and the overall communication was great. They were upfront about the kitchen closingbut at the same time we did not feel rushed. 10/10 experience. Read more
