I was back in town visiting friends and I guess I'm not used to Tracy portions anymore. I was pleasantly surprised for the amount of pho in one size serving. The broth was tasty too. I think the beef to noodles ratio leans more on the beef which isn't necessarily bad but also not something I was used to. Overall would love to come back when I'm in town!
Went for a late-ish lunch on a Saturday and got a table for 3 ppl right away. Had the lemongrass fried tofu as an appetizer, 2 of us had the Japanese curry (w/pork katsu) and 1 had stir-fried chow fun with chicken and beef. We also had a fruit drink with lychee jelly (can't remember which drink) and the pandan Vietnamese ice coffee (mild, because you can order it in mild or strong). All the food and drinks were delicious and fresh. The lemongrass tofu came with a S&P lemon dipping sauce which was very lemony (but I like that). The curries were tasty. The chow fun was chock full of vegetables and meat. The chicken was a little dry for a stir-fried dish but the beef was good. Now I have to say something about the pandan Vietnamese ice coffee...it was amazingly delicious!! It is a vibrant, luscious, creamy topping of pandan cream(?) atop a delicious Vietnamese ice coffee. It was an experience unto itself. The only fallback was that I ordered it from the sign (it's not on the menu yet) and didn't know the price. It was $7.95!! I will admit that it was delicious enough that I would consider getting it again, though. Service was quick and friendly. Thank you for a good experience!
Potatoes and carrots cutlet curry over rice is my favourite here. It’s a must try. It’s delicious with good portions. You can literally share this plate with 2. Other dishes like noodles soup and pad thai are also tasty. Must try eatery in Tracy.
Food was absolutely delish!! Lunch time gets pretty packed.. It's a small restaurant but food very satisfying.. Customer service is amazing!
The menu has a lot of variety from the usual pho and banh mi sandwiches to Japanese curry as well as vegetarian options. I ordered the #20 it was good and had the right amount of noodles, soup, and meat in the soup. The spicy chicken wings were good not too spicy or the Asian style wings I expected. The barbecue pork banh mi and garlic fries were excellent. All in all it was a bit pricey but the portions were enough. The interior is nice and they have friendly customer service. Parking can be somewhat difficult during the lunch hours. Recently ordered the traditional Vietnamese drip coffee with condensed milk and it definitely wakes you up!
There is Vietnamese and then there is this Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant on Naglee Road in Tracy that elevates flavor to a whole different level. I had the Saigon Beef Stew Noodle Soup and the Saigon Crispy Eggrolls and both were superb! The soup was so good that it was hard to stop drinking it even when I was full. The potions are huge. If you add the excellent service, very helpful staff and quick delivery of the food, this has to be one of the best places to eat!!
