Sacramento-based Saigon Alley Kitchen + Bar will take over the vacant Noodles & Company location in Folsom’s Broadstone Marketplace. The restaurant is anticipated to open in early 2025. This news was first seen in the Sacramento Business Journal.
Saigon Alley will take over the approximately 3,300-square-foot space at 2770 East Bidwell St., Suite 600, which has remained vacant since Noodles & Company closed last month. The restaurant concept offers a wide variety of “Vietnamese-inspired craft cocktails and tapas” meant to be “shared and enjoyed with friends and family,” according to the restaurant’s website. The chain opened its first location in Midtown Sacramento in 2020 and its second location in Natomas last year.
The restaurant group behind Saigon Alley also operates a few other concepts, including an omakase restaurant called Okesutora, a noodle bar concept called SitLo Saigon, and a quick-service, chicken-based concept called Saigon 88. CEO Mymy Nguyen told the Business Journal that “Folsom has always been on her radar for expansion, both because it is an ‘ever growing city’ and for its limited options for Vietnamese cuisine.”
What Now Sacramento reached out to Nguyen, but hadn’t received any replies by the time of this coverage.
