    #23 spring rolls with shrimp and meat? #1 Combination beef phó
    Alan G.

    Pretty average Vietnamese restaurant, the food was average considering it's the only Viet restaurant in the areai. Service was good, ambiance was alright, there are some things I want to consider. The prices on their menu were pretty expensive for the quantity you get. $17 for the pho and $7 for spring rolls. The meatballs in the phó were kinda old and chewy, basil was a little old and bruised up, peanut sauce was watery, and broth had a mild beef flavor to it Besides that it's a good spot to eat at if you're passing through or craving phó

    Our favorite little spot for some Pho fast service great food and that just hits the spot every time .

    This little restaurant is located in a strip mall in Tehachapi, a place where I would not expect to find Vietnamese food. I ordered the #18 pho ga (chicken). The broth piping hot, I could hear it being heated in a wok. It was fresh tasting and light with chunks of breast meat. Hubby had the #1 pho beef special that was also quite delicious. I had a taste of the broth and it was redolent with cinnamon and star anise. The quality is as good as you will find in the Bay Area. Pricing is extremely reasonable. Two small bowls of pho and a pot of tea set us back a whopping 18$ - definitely NOT Bay Area prices. Would definitely eat here again if I am staying the night in Tehachapi.

    First noticed Blue Ginger Pho last week. A few nights ago we decided to eat dinner here. The landlord of that stripmall really needs to get the sign of the restaurant fixed. If I did not know the restaurant was here, I would have missed it because their sign was not lighted up. Since their Blue Ginger Pho sign was not lighted up, you could not see the restaurant from the street. Anyways, we made it inside and grabbed a table to dine at. They were not busy at the time so service was quick, efficient, and courteous. My wife enjoyed her Pho. I think it was #8. I sneaked a taste, and I thought the broth was tasty. I have no complaints regarding our visit to Blue Ginger Pho. I would not hesitate returning whenever we crave Vietnamese cuisine in Tehachapi.

    Had to give a second follow up review.. Not long after our first visit, we had bad info that the restaurant had closed. We were sooo disappointed. Thanks to other Yelpers, this weekend we were delighted to find this little gem is STILL open and just as good as the first time we stopped in! The owner is so friendly.. He remembered us from our first visit. Probably because it's not every day a new customer comes in and raves wildly about how magnificent everything is. He even said, "I remember you from a long time ago-you said we have to get on the Internet to get more people in". Apparently the husband and I will fail as bank robbers if we are that well recognized by someone a year later after meeting us once! Pho (#3 with "rare beef" brought out raw on the side so I could add to hot broth as I ate) was still fabulous... Bo Luc Lac was seared in a hot wok to perfection and full of flavor.. Even the simple Chicken Chow Mein was fantastic! We couldn't decide between egg rolls and spring rolls, so the owner made the order half of each. Now THAT is service! Just before leaving, he made us two boba drinks to go for dessert... Mango and Taro. Mmmm.. I only wish that the restaurant was close to home or the office. I have to start thinking of reasons to go visit Tehachapi. I LOVE this place!

Walking in, they had plenty of booths and tables that can accommodate both small and large groups. You order before you sit down, and they also have a self-serve water station. We tried the Egg Rolls (3 pieces) and Dumplings (5 pieces) for appetizers, and for our main meals we ordered the Beef Stew Soup and the Glass Noodle Chicken Soup. The egg rolls and dumplings were crispy and flavorful, and the sweet and sour dipping sauce paired well with both. I actually thought I had ordered the beef pho, so I was surprised when the beef stew came out but that was completely my mistake. It ended up being a pleasant surprise because it was hearty, full of flavor, and reminded me a lot of sopa de res. The Glass Noodle Chicken Soup was much lighter, with a clean, comforting broth that made for a great contrast to the rich beef stew. Both soups were generously portioned. The customer service was friendly, and the food came out fairly quickly. Overall, I had a great experience and look forward to coming back to try more items from their menu.

The restaurant was clearly overcrowded, and instead of handling the situation professionally, the owner became rude and disrespectful. The owner repeatedly complained that they were overwhelmed and couldn't handle additional guests. Rather than providing good customer service or communicating respectfully, he turned customers away and made us feel unwelcome. Eventually, we were asked to leave despite there being available seating when we arrived. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but there is no excuse for poor customer service or rude behavior toward paying customers. If a business cannot manage being at full capacity, it should have a better system in place rather than taking frustration out on guests. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not recommend this restaurant.

I was craving pho and decided to give Saigon Bento a try. It's a little confusing because there's a Saigon restaurant and then there's this place, Saigon Bento. There's also a Saigon Bento #2. Apparently Saigon restaurant has been around for forever and is highly recommended, but was much farther, so I decided to come here instead. I honestly just like the meatballs in my pho and they were able to accommodate just this instead of their other preset dishes. It was good and packaged well for takeout! It was ready super quickly!

Somewhere between the kitchen and the table they experience a full existential crisis and dissolve into a noodle-flavored fog. You don't eat this pho so much as you drink it with regret. Then there's the robot. I want to be clear: the robot is trying its best. But a robot is not a coworker, it's a Roomba with delusions of grandeur, and pairing it with exactly one (1) visibly overwhelmed human does not equal "efficient staffing," it equals "understaffed with extra steps." I've seen this establishment's entire org chart and it's one guy and a trash can with wheels. The Vietnamese coffee and salted cold foam, though? Genuinely incredible. Immaculate. The only reason my card has ever been charged here more than once. I racked up a small fortune in reward points on the strength of that coffee alone -- and then went to redeem them, only to discover the website has apparently also fallen into a noodle-textured crisis and is completely down. So now I have points sitting there like Monopoly money for a bank that closed. Great coffee. Great foam. Genuinely inspired idea for a business. Just... catastrophically executed, like someone had a beautiful vision of a pho franchise and then handed the keys to a single tired employee and his robot intern. America needs a real pho franchise. This is not it.

They have plenty of parking in the lot, including nearby handicap spots. The interior decor is lovely! Warm, inviting, subdued with pops of color. Tables are well spaced and there are booth seating options. It is well maintained and immaculate! Often, you're met with sticky tables but not at Pho Sure. Everything is wiped down well. Side note, there are tables and umbrellas outside for those to enjoy dining al fresco! Upon entering, they always greet you with a smile and offer your choice of seating (when it. Isn't full). A carafe of water and menus await and they ask for drink orders as they seat you. On the August visit, we shared an order of their Cha Gio egg rolls. Momma Kiki was timid reading about "sweetened fish sauce", but I told her to trust me. She really enjoyed them AND the sauce! The egg rolls are generously filled and well seasoned. I showed her how to wrap them in a lettuce leaf with some of the provided herbs and "dunk".. so good! For the indoctrinated, there aren't as many herb options like you might find in the OC or SGV but they would probably go to waste if served in SCV. The other dish on that visit was Item S6, Option F: Banh Hoi 'Sure' which is a combo of all of the Options A-E and is a great dish for one person, or to share so you can try many of the different proteins from the menu. The vermicelli rectangles make great wraps for the bites because they really hold the nuoc cham (sweetened fish sauce) when dunked. I also like to wrap with lettuce for the extra freshness. SO yummy! We came back in Sept because we were craving the flavors again and the weather was slightly cooler. Momma Kiki wanted her old favorite Bun Bo Hue (very mild with pho noodle substitution). She likes her side veggies steamed to soften and warm the bean sprouts and they always accommodate special orders with a smile. It was delicious! But note.. "very mild" is a hard ask since the base of the broth already has the heat level established and it's difficult to dilute it down. momma Kiki is 95 now so I took the soup and she enjoyed the dish I ordered... C2: Com Suon Nuong. A broken rice dish with a delicious, well grilled/charred pork chop. I had opted for the red rice and loved it! The meat is tender and flavorful.. and as with all of their dishes the portions are generous and leftovers for lunch the next day inspire jealousy from others. I had a chat with one of the owners that we hadn't seen in far too long.. and he came right over to greet us and gush over Momma Kiki which made her feel so good! When I asked about his favorites in the menu, he said that S4: Pho ap Chao is one he really enjoys and calls it "Vietnamese pizza". That may need to happen next time! I'm so glad that there is a great Vietnamese option in Santa Clarita. Apparently owner Nina and her head chef have had restaurants in San Gabriel Valley in the past.. and the experience shows. The flavors are outstanding!
