Keo's Restaurant Bar - Auburn

An absolute diamond in the rough! If you are a local and are looking for a good place to have a piping hot bowl of Pho, do not look further. That's your Pho spot. If you go through a road trip and you are looking nearby to satisfy that craving it is worth adding some time to your trip. The chili oil was also very good and fresh. What a great find!

To start, the spring rolls were incredibly fresh and moist, with crisp vegetables, perfectly prepared vermicelli, and flavorful shrimp. The peanut sauce was delightful—fresh with a bold taste—and the homemade chili oil was exceptional, providing great heat without any burnt flavor. Now onto the Pho—full disclosure, I could eat Pho three times a day! If you haven't come here yet, you're truly missing out. This was one of the most aromatic, well-flavored, and balanced clear broths I've ever tasted. You can tell they take time and care in preparing their Pho. The noodles were ideal, and the bean sprouts were fresh and clean. The flavors were so rich that I can still savor them! Both the brisket and the tendon were cooked to perfection, and the meatballs were just as delicious. I usually add Sriracha and Hoisin sauce to my broth, but I held off this time (I kept them on the side). The staff was friendly and attentive, and I believe the owners even came by to check on my table, which was a nice touch. I’ve never been to Hanoi, but this experience gives me a taste of what it might be like! Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t change a thing!

I always get the Pho, but last time I have green Curry Thai roasted rice and it was amazing as usual! I also had the rocket shrimp egg rolls. I think they have recently gone to their Pho, but still worth the price!

I was with my friends there and we ordered 7 different types of food and we all enjoyed the quality of food. I tried pad thai and roasted duck; both were great!

The food is amazing! Two menus concerned us initially, but we haven't eaten a bad meal yet. Good for the whole family.
