Since my last review, this place has expanded into a restaurant with a formal dining area,…read moretransforming it from an already great takeout extravaganza to a place I'd bring my friends/family for a proper sit down meal. In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised by their growing menu and their willingness to better themselves by listening to Yelp feedback. You can really feel the spirit of home-cooking and the cozy atmosphere of a locally owned restaurant here. In the best way possible, service hasn't changed - it's still the same friendly owner greeting you with a smile and overall cheerful attitude. You can tell that they are actively growing as a restaurant and I can't help but want to cheer them on! Today, I had their banh mi pho with a side of Chinese donuts to dip into the pho broth. Absolutely delicious and great concept. My constructive feedback is if they can dial in their pho broth (which I already enjoy) to have more in-depth bone broth/spice flavor and less reliance on maybe the salty aspect. I'm excited to see the future of this establishment,

Parking 5/5 Shared strip mall parking with some dedicated parking in front. Never an issue finding a spot here. Atmosphere 5/5 The new owner refreshes the dining room every few years and certainly is an improvement from the previous owners. Small dining room with Vietnamese decor is clean and comfortable. Service 5/5 Very polite servers and owner. Our server took our drink orders of two Vietnamese Coffees and a stater of rice paper spring rolls. Entrees were the brisket Pho, Bun Duc Biet rice noodles bowl which includes carrot and cucumber slivers, mint leaves, small lettuce leaves, sprouts sliced fried spring rolls, shrimp and beef. Sprinkled with peanuts. Food 5/5+ I've enjoyed coming here weekly for decades when I worked across the street at Motorola then General Dynamics when they bought our Government Division. Food here is freshly prepared, traditional Vietnamese food. Both the Pho and (B4) Bun Dak Biet Rice Vermicelli bowl were excellent. The starters were on the small side. I bought a (B4) Bun Duc Viet to take home for lunch tomorrow. $72.86 plus $20 cash tip for excellent service. When looking for Vietnamese in Scottsdale, Saigon Bowl my friends-SYOY!

The menu offers everything from classic favorites to more unique, creative options -- so there's something for everyone. My daughter has celiac disease, and I was especially impressed that our server immediately understood what that meant. She confidently walked us through all the gluten-free options and made us feel completely comfortable ordering. That level of knowledge and care goes a long way. From the moment you walk in, you can tell how much thought has gone into the decor and atmosphere. It's inviting, detailed, and adds to the overall experience. We'll absolutely be recommending this place -- and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

I've came to Saigon Jade a couple of times now and I have to say, this might be one of my go to pho…read morespots now. The first time I had it, I actually couldn't stop thinking about it because I was genuinely surprised with how good it was. I also noticed that they are very consistent with the taste of the broth. Usually when I get pho, the broth doesn't always taste the same but here at Saigon it does. The broth is very rich and savory. I also noticed they add a lot of noodles which I love but I also wish they added more broth. The meat is also very tender, I always go with the brisket and it always tastes great. I personally like my soup to have extra green onion, unfortunately if you do ask for extra there is a charge of $2. I also recommend the egg rolls, they're packed with flavor and honestly it's just a good appetizer to have before your pho. The restaurant itself is beautiful and very spacious. Every time I've gone there's never any wait. The service has also been great, I've had maybe 1 time where it wasn't as great but it was still good. The food always comes out fresh and very hot. Overall, I love this restaurant so much and I will continue coming back!

I'm honestly really disappointed with my experience at Saigon Jade. I'm still trying to figure out…read morewhat we paid for here. My aunt was served a bowl that was dirty on the outside (yes... the bowl, not just the table -- see the photo I attached). Not exactly appetizing... and she didn't eat it at all, it was completely untouched. We told the staff immediately, and instead of, I don't know.. like maybe apologizing or replacing it like a normal restaurant?.. They basically said it was our fault and still charged us for the untouched dish. So just to confirm: you can serve dirty dishes and still get paid? That is a interesting business model, I've never seen anything like it! Then they hit us with a 20% service fee, which is honestly kind of iconic considering the service was: * ignoring customers * denying what we clearly told them * and charging us anyway Like... thank you for the experience I guess??? And to top it off, after I actually ate there, I had the worst stomach ache and diarrhea. So NOT only do you pay for food you don't eat, you might also leave with a free health issue! LOVE THAT!!! As someone who is Vietnamese, this was just embarrassing. You expect better standards, better hospitality, and at the very least... clean bowls??? Overall, if you enjoy paying for untouched food, being gaslit, and risking your stomach, this is your place. Otherwise, I'd look for somewhere else to eat.

Upon my approach, the exterior was so beautifully curated that I initially mistook it for an exclusive, private small garden. I stopped at Glai Baan and ventured inside, finding the dining room wonderfully bustling with a lively, fashionable crowd a thoroughly excellent sign. The venue offers the most delightful arrangements; one may choose to dine within the main room or enjoy a seat adjacent to the exquisite flower beds and lush, cool greenery. There is also a beautifully structured small bar. The entire aesthetic is nothing short of exceptional, and I found myself quite enamored with the decor. I escorted myself to an excellent table facing the bar and requested a traditional Thai Iced Tea to begin. The bartender was an absolute credit to the establishment immensely warm, professional, and genuinely friendly. The hospitality here is truly remarkable; the staff handles their patrons with the gracious care of family, which I found immensely pleasing. For my dinner entrée, I selected the Kanom Jeeb, which bears a marvelous resemblance to the finest dim sum found in elite Chinese establishments. The kitchen executed the order with commendable timing, and upon its elegant presentation, my evening meal was rendered entirely complete. The seamless blend of sophisticated flavor, beautiful botany, and refined hospitality was an absolute treat. I shall most certainly be returning to this charming sanctuary in the near future

The cilantro served on the side still had stems attached, which I found a bit odd since cilantro is usually already included inside the pho. It wasn't a huge issue, but it did stand out. I also noticed that we weren't given basil, even though another table received some. We ordered the barbecue pork spring rolls as well, but they tasted more like grilled pork than barbecue. The rolls were quite small and mostly filled with noodles, with very little vegetables. Overall, the prices felt high for the portion sizes and quality of the food, and the experience didn't quite meet our expectations.
