They probably have the best chicken pho since I Moved out here in the valley and I always get the shrimp spring rolls too. Fresh and tasty, yummy. Chicken pho hugs you

Great food. Excellent service.
Wait staff is Amazing at their job. Never a dry cup.
Food was fast and good.

**I do not recommend ever door dashing pho. The broth cools down before you're able to add all your ingredients, not the restaurants fault as they don't control the deliveries.

I've been here about 5+ times now. The pho is delicious. The broth is NOT chalk full of MSG. (I know a Pho broth is good when it doesn't taste sweet & doesn't leave a heavy MSG aftertaste in your mouth.) R&R's broth is perfectly balanced. The herbs & bean sprouts are fresh. When they have coriander, it's a huge plus for me. Coriander is 100% best with Pho. The beef is nice & tender. The rice dishes & egg rolls are good as well. The Vietnamese iced coffee is great! Parking is small & sometimes the restaurant may be too packed, but it's worth the wait. Customer service is always 5 out of 5. I also love the Vietnamese old school decor. Overall, 5/5 stars. Highly recommend.

Been wanting to try this place for mths now. Finally door dashed today. Sooo underwhelmed with Everything I order.

First off, I base my reviews of restaurants on that cusines signature dish. I do not compare restaurant to restaurant.

Second, the basic combo Pho is my goto order when first trying any Vietnamese restaurant. If they can master their pho broth, then I know the intuition of the chefs/cooks will playout in every other dish they offer.

I am one of those pho people that enjoy the broth at its purest state after simmering for hours. I do not pollute any pho broth by adding condiments. I had to compromise with RiceNRolls broth. I had to actually break my fish sauce outta fridge, just to add umami, and use the condiments provided. For me, this rarely happens with restaurant broth.

RiceNRoll broth had zero flavor, not just saltiness, but zero basic pho seasoning herbal flavor. One thing it did have was a decent beefy depth in the broth, that's the 2stars. I paid $16 for a large, I got 3 slices super thin brisket, 5 slices of rare beef, 3 strands of tripe, 1 cube of tendon, 2 slices of flank, I think. The meat to noodles ratio was lacking for the value of the price paid.

The spring rolls were fine. If anyone messes up spring rolls, just hang up the chef hat.

Ok, now, this is what threw me over the edge. I order a Vietnamese Coffee, light ice, less sugar. WTAF riceNroll?!!

I got a generic latte posing as a Vietnamese Coffee. Anyone who has had a Vietnamese Coffee understands the flavor profile. RiceNRoll Coffee had Zero, I mean ZERO boldness, not even a touch of the bitterness undertones, and why The Hell would you put creamer/halfnhalf in my Vietnamese Coffee. Where the hell was the condensed milk. I requested less sweet, Not less Vietnamese!

Yeah, so in conclusion. It is blantly apparent that most Ethic restaurants in small towns cater to the demographic. They can get away with less effort being put into showcasing a cusine in the best possible light without much backlash.

I'm so dissapoint I have yet to find a decent Vietnamese restaurant in Manteca. I have tried every single one. I live in Stockton but on the outskirts closer to Manteca and wish I didn't have to drive to north Stockton every time I wanted a decent bowl of Pho.

Someone sign my petition to bring at least 1 decent Vietnamese Restaurant to SouthSide Stockton! Everyone's scared if us 🤪

Came here with family after staying at Great Wolf Lodge and for sure we found a hidden gem in Manteca for Vietnamese food. Our family ordered Roast Duck over rice, Bun Bo Hue, Pho Dac Biet w Filet Mignon, Banh Mi Bo Kho, and egg rolls. Everything was tasty! Roast Duck was crispy and not oily, BBH was just at the right spice and flavor levels, the Pho was seasoned more on the mild side but still flavorful and the beef was excellent. The bo kho was heavy on the lemon grass and satay but the beef and carrot ratio was favorable. The staff was quick and attentive; e.g. brought kid bowls and plates without needing to be asked. Would definitely go back.

Interior of the restaurant is nice but the food wasn’t that great. Has tonkatsu Bahn mi and the meat was hard and dry. The combo pho had too many ingredients which kind of messed up the taste. Noodles were dry too. Iced coffee had some sort of weird taste to it. Not really coffee flavor. Messed up part was they forgot to include my sandwich so the guy had to chase me outside. Good thing he was able to locate me in my mini van.

Absolutely the BEST!!! The food is outstanding!!! Good, and fair pricing, service is quick. You're greeted as soon as you enter, and treated like family. Everyone is so nice, and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. The restaurant is very neat, clean, and spacious. Very cozy. The waiters are very attentive, and patient. Everything on their menu is SO DELICIOUS!!! Highly, highly recommend!!! The best we have had, and we will definitely be back. Was so good the first time we went a few weeks back, that my Daughter picked this restaurant for her 18th Birthday! She wouldn't settle for anything else. And, we all LOVED it! We loved it even more than the first time. Everyone is so amazing here, and the food!! Unbeatable!! YOU WON'T BE SORRY going here!! Our new FAVORITE spot!! Thank you for such wonderful food, and service!
