Pho Fresh 2U sits at Calvine Corner — 8325 Elk Grove Florin Rd, Ste 800, Sacramento, CA 95829 — in the Vineyard neighborhood of South Sacramento, a few minutes’ walk from Bradshaw Christian School and the Calvine High district. The restaurant describes itself simply: “still your mom and pop shop, but in a newer generation.” It’s a locally owned kitchen built around a 24-hour beef bone broth and a fully separate 100% plant-based vegan kitchen, with a menu that goes well beyond the pho bowl most people expect.
This guide is the hub for everything Pho Fresh 2U serves in August 2026 — verified directly against the restaurant’s current item list, not guessed from a photo or an old delivery-app listing. If you’ve only ever ordered a bowl of pho here, there’s a good chance you’re missing half the menu.
The Bao Tacos — What Pho Fresh 2U Is Actually Known For
Ask the restaurant what it’s known for and the answer starts with its Steamed Bao Taco line: soft steamed bao formed into a taco shape and filled rather than the flat bun most people picture. The lineup includes Pork Belly Taco ($15.95), Hot BBQ Pork Taco ($14.95), Fat Beef Brisket Taco ($14.95), Chicken Breast Taco ($14.95), and Salmon Belly Taco ($15.95) — plus a limited-time Sexy Honey Baked Bao (2) at $11.95. The vegan kitchen mirrors the format with a Tofu Belly Taco ($13.95), Mock Chicken Taco ($14.95), and Hot Damn Tofu Taco ($14.95). We go deeper on why this format works in the dish-education spoke linked below.
Pho, Mi, and Bun — The Noodle Bowl Core
Pho (Rice Noodle Soup): Built on the 24-hour bone broth. Options run from single-cut bowls like Tai ($14.25) or Bo Vien ($14.25) up to the loaded Tai, Nam, Gau, Gan, Sach ($15.25) and the signature Crazy Pho King Pho ($19.25). The Spicy Pho Ox Tail ($18.25) and Pho Steak Lover ($18.25) round out the beef side, while Pho Chicken ($14.25) and Pho Bone-In Roasted Chicken ($18.25) cover poultry.
Mi (House Egg Noodle Soup): A separate broth and noodle base from pho — options include Mi House Combo ($16.75), Mi Seafood Combo ($17.25), and Mi Wonton ($15.25).
Bun (Vermicelli Noodle Salad): Chilled noodle bowls for a lighter meal — Bun Combination ($16.95), Bun Grilled Meat ($14.95), Bun Coconut Curry ($14.95), and Bun Lemongrass Stir Fry ($14.95).
Banh Mi, Spring Rolls (Goi Cuon), and Starters
The Banh Mi line runs from BM Charsiu BBQ Pork ($10.95) and BM Spicy Chicken Breast ($10.95) up to BM BBQ Beef Brisket ($12.95) and BM Pork Belly ($12.95). The Goi Cuon spring roll list is long — Shrimp Spring Rolls ($8.95), Charsiu Pork Spring Rolls ($7.95), and specialty rolls like the Shrimp Delight Roll ($16.95), Crazy Crab Roll ($15.95), and the Me Love Bacon Roll ($16.95). Starters range from Egg Rolls Deluxe (5) at $10.95 to shareable seafood plates like Garlic Basil Black Mussels (1lb, $14.95) and Pepper Salted Seafood Mix ($16.95).
Com (Rice Plates), Stir-Fried Noodles, and Salads
For a rice-plate dinner: Com Combination ($17.95), Com Roasted Chicken ($18.95), Com Mongolian Beef ($16.95), and Bacon Fried Rice ($14.95). Stir-fried noodle options include Peppered Ribeye Steak ($18.95), Colossal Shrimp ($19.95), Chow Fun ($14.95), and Chow Mein ($14.95). Salads run from the Lemongrass Salad ($14.95) to the Peppered Salmon Salad ($18.95).
A Genuinely Separate Vegan Kitchen
Pho Fresh 2U doesn’t just pull the meat out of a shared pot. The vegan program has its own broth, own utensils, and its own full menu: Vegan Starters (Tofu Starter, $12.95; Seared Faux Scallop, $13.95), Vegan Pho (Pho Tofu, $13.95; Pho Mock Chicken, $14.95; House Braised Tofu Stew, $14.95), Vegan Banh Mi (Garlic Tofu, $10.95), Vegan Rice Plates (Turmeric Fried Rice, $13.95; Com Buddha Delight, $13.95), and even Vegan Kids Meals (Kids Pho Tofu, $7.95). This is one of the largest fully-separate vegan menus of any Vietnamese kitchen in the Elk Grove Florin corridor.
Kids Meals, Dessert, and the Drink Menu
Kids Meal over Rice or Vermicelli runs $7.95, with Kids Pho Chicken and Kids Pho Beef Meat Balls also at $7.95. Dessert options include Fried Banana A La Mode ($6.50) and the Ube Cream Cheese Roll ($7.25). The drink menu is deep: Vietnamese Iced Coffee ($6.95), Thai Tea ($5.25), and a full boba lineup — Taro Milk Tea, Honeydew Milk Tea, Boba Milk Tea ($6.25), and fruit shakes like Avocado Shake ($7.25) and Mango Shake ($6.25).
Catering for Offices and Groups
Pho Fresh 2U runs a catering menu built around half-trays and bulk counts: Egg Rolls (20pcs, $32 or 40pcs, $60), Chicken Wings (35pcs, $65), Chow Mein (Half Tray, $60), and Coconut Curry (Half Tray, $65). The restaurant specifically markets this to teams near Kaiser South Sacramento and the Elk Grove Business Parks — more detail in the audience spoke below.

The Bottom Line
The Pho Fresh 2U menu is bigger and more specific than a quick pho-and-banh-mi order suggests. Between the bao tacos, the fully separate vegan kitchen, the boba drink list, and the catering trays, there’s a reason to come back beyond the broth — and every one of those reasons is on the menu today, at the prices listed above.
