Pho 54 - Citrus Heights

LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE !!! The lady and her husband are always so sweet to me and my boyfriend, definitely a great neighborhood restaurant!!

We were in the mood for some warm food on a rainy day. The restaurant was cold and had some space heaters out. Someone brought us water and took our order pretty quickly. I ordered the #2 Pho and my wife for the #43 Charbroiled Beef over Vermicelli and we added some pot stickers. The Pho was pretty bland compared to some of the other local places but the meat was good. My wife loved the charbroiled beef but hated the sauce that was on the noodles. The pot Stickers were wonderful, crispy on one side and piping hot.

This was unfortunately such a bad Pho experience. My husband and I love Pho on rainy days and we had to ask for a refund on the chicken pho. The shrimp and pork spring rolls were extremely disappointing, the peanut sauce was straight out of the fridge cold and the rolls were 80% lettuce. The grilled pork sandwich was not satisfying, and the broth in the chicken Pho was incredibly under seasoned and didn’t taste like it was made with love like we usually have at our go to spot (which is closed on Mondays). The cherry on top was the water, it was really bad. Had a moldy like taste to it. Overall a terrible experience. The lady also had a horrible attitude when we told her we were not enjoying our Pho. She proceeded to tell us that she’s only gonna take it off our bill because it’s our first time but because we tried it we’re expected to pay the second time…. I can assure you there will NOT be a second time.

The food was perfect and served quickly. I was very happy and will return again. This is a little mom-and-pops restaurant that is more closer to Thai food than it is noodle food. They have quite a extensive menu and I am excited to explore that menu and I plan on returning multiple times. Everytime I bring family and friends they're always impressed with it. I would hope that the community with support them and make them successful they are a small business. But if you are looking for ramen or noodle soup this is the place to go they appetizers are quite interesting and there are a lot of them. I would put this in the top three noodle places in citrus heights to get some authentic noodles.
