As a Vietnamese foodie, I can confidently say this spot nails the catfish spring rolls! The fish is fresh, tender, and perfectly seasoned, paired with crisp veggies and a flavorful dipping sauce. Authentic, delicious, and beautifully presented. A must-try for anyone craving true Vietnamese flavors!

My friend made a reservation and ordered the catfish in advance which made the service very efficient. The service was excellent. The food even better! I saw people ordering the fish and getting it for take out too. The fish is outstanding! It would have probably fed four. It's a nice place and we sat and ate for a while and never felt rushed. I can't wait to go back and take my family!

My visit to Tay Giang in Elk Grove was nothing short of unforgettable. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt embraced by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The soft lighting and beautiful cultural decor created a space that felt both familiar and special--like stepping into a place where memories are meant to be made. Let me tell you about the food--it truly stole my heart. The grilled fish was nothing less than perfection. Every bite was a revelation: tender, perfectly seasoned, with a smoky char that balanced beautifully with the accompanying vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, crisp cucumbers, and pickled carrots. The dish was vibrant, both in flavor and presentation. I must warn you, though--call ahead to order the fish. If you don't, you'll be waiting at least half an hour while it's prepared fresh. But honestly? Even if I hadn't called ahead, the wait would have been absolutely worth it. And then there was the chicken salad. It was a symphony of textures and flavors--crisp vegetables, tender shredded chicken, fragrant herbs, and a sprinkling of crushed peanuts that added just the right amount of crunch. Every bite was bright, refreshing, and deeply satisfying. The service only elevated the experience. The staff were attentive, warm, and genuinely kind, making sure we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. It was clear they cared about making our time there special. Tay Giang isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience, a celebration of flavor and warmth that stays with you long after the meal is over. If you're looking for food that will nourish not just your appetite but your soul, this is the place to go. And trust me--order the fish. It's the kind of dish you'll be dreaming about long after the last bite.

My cousin took us here and was excited for us to try their specialty, a fried catfish. I'm not a big fan of catfish but how they prepared it was delicious. It was served with fresh vegetables and rice wrappers. You basically make yourself spring rolls filling the wrappers with fish, veggies and herbs. It was good on jts on but the dipping sauce takes it up a level. This dish is so popular we had to make reservations to secure a fish. When we got there the restaurant it wasn't very busy but they had a lot of take orders. We also ordered some grilled pork and beef, the clay pot fish dish, and pho. The grilled meats and clay pot was really good. Pho here is decent but I wouldn't come here for that. Star of the show is the catfish. It was so good we considered going back the next day. We're definitely coming back!!

First timer and certainly not a last timer. Open 5-9 PM Thursday-Monday, it can be hard to find time to visit without an annoyingly long wait, so our party of 9 came at opening on a Sunday evening and were the first customers of the day. Tay Giang is the sort of modest, family-run place you go expecting great food and indifferent service, so don't take it personally if the staff seem a bit cold. Like most guests, we came for the butterflied fried catfish and were offered the $70 XL portion size. Alongside two orders of the catfish, we also tried the banh xeo (Vietnamese savory pancake). To eat the catfish, you're provided rice paper, hot water, and an assortment of vegetables to make spring rolls with. The skin is deliciously crispy, with a soft and moist interior that has become what just might be my favorite way to prepare catfish. If you've cooked catfish, you know it can be hard to get past the sort of muddy-mushy taste and texture that it can have, but Tay Giang accomplishes this very well. The banh xeo, on the other hand, was soggy and underwhelming, with a disproportionate amount of beansprouts and very little protein. Come early for their specialty when you have the chance and you won't be disappointed.

Tay Giang Restaurant has quickly become our go-to spot for delicious fried catfish spring rolls! We've never dined in, but their take-out service has been consistently excellent. They take phone orders and always have the food ready at the estimated pick-up time. Each time we order, the meal comes with everything we need--noodles, veggies, and sauces--all perfectly packed and ready to enjoy. The butterflied fried catfish is the star of the show. We always go for the XL size, which costs around $70 and easily feeds 4-5 people, leaving us all happily full. The catfish is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. We can't get enough and will definitely continue to order this dish again and again! Inside the restaurant, it seems spacious, and we plan to dine in the future to experience the full ambiance. Highly recommend Tay Giang for a hassle-free, delicious meal!
