This was my first time trying this place and the first time in my 23 years of living in Elk Grove/Sacramento that I've left a review on any establishment.After arguing on an establishment to dine at for our four year anniversary we decided on Coriander; this was the most savory and delicious Vietnamese food that I've ever tasted. All I talked about to my date during the hour that we were there was so amazing the food was (decided to go with the beef pho). Furthermore, the service was phenomenal. We had trouble parking (we live out in the country) since we don't come to downtown often and the staff was so kind to help us figure out the best location. I have never felt more welcome in any establishment in the years that I've lived here.As someone with both professional and cultural experience with Vietnamese food I was left in complete awe with the quality of the meal. The broth was meticulously balanced with just the right ratio of meat to noodles. We paid less than 30 bucks for a meal that I wouldn't mind paying hundreds for.
PUTTING MSG IN FOODS/SAUCES (ESPECIALLY AT YOUR PRICES/ RUSHING US OUT OF THERE/ACTING LIKE YOU'RE SO HIGH-CLASS) IS *WRONG* BECAUSE SOME OF US PAYING YOUR OUTRAGEOUS PRICES GET MASSIVE HEADACHES FROM MSG! NEVER AGAIN...YOUR LOSS! SPENT ALMOST 60 FOR A 2 PERSON LUNCH, WOULD COME BACK IF YOU MAYBE STOPPED USING LOW QUALITY JUNK LIKE MSG!and if the owner writes back saying "we don't use MSG,"... my headaches don't lie and I'm not new to dining OR Vietnamese cuisine. I ate nothing for the rest of the day... because MSG gives some people some pretty debilitating headaches... and I'm one of them. The owner is free to reach out and refund my money or give me a free meal of the same value WITHOUT MSG, obviously this is not my real name BECAUSE I VALUE MY PRIVACY (something more Californians could learn) but I can prove I was there yesterday, maybe you should actually have more control over your ingredients, especially considering your prices. I don't take down my reviews unless the business establishment makes any effort to make it right with me personally. Good luck using MSG poison. Or maybe get the hint and pass it on that people don't pay "fine dining prices" to get crippling MSG headaches.
Nice restaurant, good service, reasonable price, ok food. The Saigon crepe was pretty good. I didn't like the salad and banh beo.

I've been there 7 times. Five of 7 I've seen people are not wearing mask in the cooking area.
The food was amazing and the service was top tier. He answered all of our questions as it was our first time going. Will be going again.
Coriander has the best chicken pho with the simplest ingredients and it is my new go-to-spot whenever I need a healing bowl of soup with some soul! The broth is authentically flavored with traditional seasonings and the best part is that you can add your own level of spice like I did with some Thai Chili Peppers from my art garden...if you really want a nice inflammatory aid add some black pepper! They give you a side of thai basil and bean sprouts with jalapeno and lime that allow you to create spicy, sour and savory versions of this timeless dish over and over again! Be good to yourself on a rainy day and stop by to view their local restaurant, they have outstanding customer service and seriously are great at making dishes that culturally embrace the beauty of Sacramento!

Mr DONALD RICHARD HAS REALLY HELPED ME IN TRADING AND MAKING A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE SUPPORT OF MY BUSINESS,
Fantastic ! Simply! The spicy corrainder rice is perfect, with rare and correct use of authentic Chinese sausage. 20/10, worth every bite
Great service and very willing to accommodate (non-allergen) dietary requests. Our sever even suggested that my friend substitute the noodles in his soup for vegetables on account of he mentioned he was trying to stick with his Keto diet. Will definitely be coming back. WARNING it can be very spicy depending on the dish you choose.
