Long-simmered Vietnamese beef pho from Stockton Boulevard, Sacramento's Vietnamese commercial corridor between Florin and 65th Avenue, served in deep bowls with rare beef slices, meatballs and a herb plate.

Vietnamese refugees settled in Sacramento in waves after 1975, with the largest community along Stockton Boulevard south of Broadway. By the 1990s the boulevard between Florin and 65th had become the Vietnamese commercial centre of the Sacramento Valley, with pho counters, banh mi shops, Vietnamese grocers and karaoke clubs lining the strip. Pho Momma on Folsom Boulevard near Stockton earned a 2025 Michelin Bib Gourmand for its long-simmered beef broth, the highest US recognition for a Sacramento pho counter. The Stockton Boulevard pho is heavy on the rare slice, the meatball and the house pork wontons, and it travels south to nearby San Joaquin Valley pho strips in Lodi and Stockton itself.
