From start to finish, this restaurant lives up to its reputation. I was greeted and sat immediately in my own booth and my waiter was very kind and willing to answer any questions I had about the menu since it was my first time there after getting recommended it from my coworker. The dining area was spacious and even included some outdoor dining options if you wanted. I started off by ordering their spring roll with peanut sauce and it tasted amazing. They brought me out complimentary wontons which were great as well. I placed my order for spicy sesame chicken with rice and vegetables after and was shortly presented a homemade ginger ale on the house as well. The food came out piping hot and fresh. The portion was also really generous. I couldn't finish my chicken but I finished the rice and vegetables. I asked for a to-go box and without even asking they noticed I have finished my rice and gave me a to-go box with rice included already in it! Super amazing and 5 star experience. I can't wait to go back. read more

Been two years since I was last there, I had introduced the restaurant to two close friends who had been going a lot lately. The three of us went last night, said hello to the owners who were happy to see us. We had two combo Bun Bowls, wanton soup, wraps and their complementary dumplings and gingerade. Everything was delicious, parking was easy out front, and as usual they did a great presentation and service for us. read more

The servers were so nice, and they even gave us ginger soda and spring rolls on the house :) Food was fantastic! So satisfying

I came in after work to place a to-go order, they sat me down with a menu, and after allowing me to consider the menu for the perfect amount of time took my order. Then I was brought a small order of dumplings and a housemade ginger ale on the house while I wait! Food had been delicious and excellent. Relaxing vibe as well, will dine-in in the future as well! read more

So so so good! Love a great Vietnamese restaurant and this one is a stand out! From friendly faces to complimentary appetizers and fabulous food. Even homemade ginger ale! The pho broth has all the right notes of flavor. I tried their sister restaurant the day before. A fabulous Bahn Mi shop, also fabulous. Definitely worth going out of the way to eat here. I'll definitely be back! Thanks guys! read more

Friendly and quick service but not sure their dishes are for my taste buds. Ordered the bun bo hue but found the meat to be overcooked and chewy. The noodles used were not the usual ones you find in this dish. Overall the dishes just felt a bit more westernised. Place was super busy though! So maybe just me ~ thank you read more

So good! Don't let the outside fool you. The restaurant has a homey feel. We walked in on a Saturday night and it was packed. Lots of large groups and families. We ordered the lamb curry, shaking beef and kids pho. My son only likes broth and beef. They had no issues modifying his meal. The lamb curry was . Omg so good. They grill the lamb chops then add to curry that's silky and smooth, served with white rice. It was also boiling when came out of the kitchen. The shaking beef was equally as good. What we liked about it was there was a small amount of a broth under rice and beef. It gave the entire dish great flavor. Pho was delicious. You can tell it's made with real beef bones. Great flavor. Don't miss out! I highly recommend. read more

All of the servers were extremely kind and helpful, amazing service. The food is fresh and flavorful. The spring rolls were delicious, and the pho and spicy beef noodle soup were incredible. We got the small size and still had leftovers. We had an excellent experience dining in the restaurant and definitely will be returning. read more

Im a huge foodie and value good quality food and exceptional service. My first visit here was extremely impressive. The food came out promptly despite how busy they were. And Brandon really went above and beyond. I came here after my surgery and Brandon catered to me without a clue. He even got me a bag of ice and offered a refreshment to comfort me. This was the best restaurant I could've gone to post-op. This is my new spot! Great staff, thanks again Brandon ! read more

Great service and beautiful interior however I wish the food was a little better. I love drunken noodles but my dish with pork tasted more like beef. The noodles were stuck in one big blob and they were crunchy in spots like on the edges. Loved the egg flower soup. Tried the egg roll appetizer and they were good. They brought over complimentary fried dumplings and crab cheese wontons. My friend had the sesame chicken dish and thought it was ok. I will give it a second try. read more

Service was not good, interior needs reno, and food was ranging from really bad to average at best. I have theories on why this place has great ratings, but I'll keep that to myself. I will say this though, it is definitely a local fixture. If you want that local vibe, then here it is. read more

We came here based on the reviews that we read from previous customers and they were absolutely on target. It's a family owned business which I really like the owner is here and was our server. It's obvious how much they care about the business and the food was really good. Service was amazing And it's a busy little place so it must have a really good reputation. It's very authentic so I'm really glad that we came here based on the reviews. read more

10/10 Vietnamese cuisine. This is my friends plate, when my plate arrived I was no longer worried about pictures. The Hospitality will always stand out at this restaurant I've eaten here 3 different times and the staff & owner are so In tune with their guest . I once brought my work colleagues here for a celebration and we were treated like royalty no jokes that what some of the guys had said to me . You can feel the extra mile the cooks go through for example we ordered steamed dumplings, not only were they fresh & well stuffed but they came with a house sauce (and I'm not talking soy sauce) that put an epic twist on something that can get slightly boring. Definitely Had me wanting more . THE EGG ROLLS WERE SOMETHING SERIOUS hand wrapped and let me tell you they show love !! Fattest egg rolls I've ever had . Some places give you all wrap and no stuffing .... Not here . Crispy and delicious 10/10 must try Cheese wontons are a banger . Once again they show love on the cream cheese no holding out ! My favorite part was the COMPLIMENTARY HOMEMADE GINGER DRINK they brought around to all the tables . 100000% helped me digest my food. The beef Pho was a banger as well. I don't think you'll go here specifically for the Pho because of how good the rest of the menu is . 10/10 Nate approved read more

This is my favorite place to get pho because they actually allow me to get a children's sized pho. I always end up wasting food because I rarely can finish a small bowl let alone those places out there that don't even offer a small. Their spring rolls are amazing. They gave us free dumplings this last time and I would totally order them again next time. Great flavor and the curry sauce it is served on is so yummy. I have never had a bad thing to eat here. The service is always amazing and the staff like to provide some little thing to your table for free and makes you feel like family. My only complaint is that I always want to go on a Monday and they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Otherwise, I absolutely love this place! read more

Golden Saigon has some of THE BEST vegan food that I've ever had in my life. Also, the service is top of the line. The tomato tofu and vegan lemongrass soup were to die for. If you're vegan, please please come here. You won't regret it. I'm already looking forward to the next time that I get to come here. read more

This is my new favorite restaurant. The BEST food I've ever had in my entire life. Order the tofu in tomato sauce and the lemongrass noodle soup. Everyone is so kind! read more

My friend and I arrived here at 6:30 on a Friday. There was a little bit of a wait. Once we got seated the servers were super attentive and pitched in their recommendations when we needed help choosing an item. We got two items on the house which was such a pleasant surprise!! My party got the pho tai and vegan curry which were both delicious. For a cold fall evening, this food was so cozy and comforting. The pho is solid and the curry was a north style curry which I got to try for the first time. The interior was nice and spacious, and even with the busy dinner rush we felt taken care of. While we stuck to basic items, the menu itself is very extensive so I'll have to come back to try this place!! read more

Golden Saigon took ahold of me and won my heart over! Not only was the food out of this world, but the service was immaculate. Golden Saigon is a spot you want to go to when you crave being treated like family. They lifted my spirits, were so tentative to my needs... honestly, if you're having a rough day... go here for a serotonin boost! I dined alone, so I ordered the kids portion of pho tai, iced coffee, and pork egg rolls. The staff insisted I try the house-made ginger ale and chicken dumplings on the house. I'm so beyond grateful for this moment and I will remember the way it made me feel always. HAPPY! Everything I had, I would recommend. The temperature of each item was so on point. I could go on and on about how wonderful it was. The coffee was excellent. Not too sweet and had a wonderful roasted flavor. The ginger ale tasted so fresh! I loved that spicy ginger beer flavor with the fresh oranges! The chicken dumplings were over a yellow curry sauce, served with a side on ponzu and I loved the tang of the ponzu and the creaminess of the curry! It all balanced and was incredibly fun to eat! The pho tai was steaming hot and beautiful! The rare beef had such a richness to it and the anise in the broth was *chef's kiss*! Your girl loves fragrant broth! The pork egg rolls went beyond my expectations. They came out hot and crispy with a bed of fresh herbs displayed gorgeously! The fish sauce flavor was additive... it all just made me feel like royalty. The herb flex was on point. If you've made it this far... I guess you've caught onto the fact that I now have a new favorite place to dine and I feel beyond thankful to have randomly wandered into this restaurant. I'll definitely be recommending this spot to all! read more

Wow... That's all that comes to mind with this place. By far the most amazing customer service I have ever experienced in my life. We were only in town for 3 nights and decided to visit, and it was definitely the highlight of our vacation. Not only was the food amazing (especially the lamb curry), but the employees were so hospitable, friendly, enthusiastic, and fun to talk to. Brandon, and Twon (spelling?) and the other 2 servers, you guys rock. read more

Outstanding hospitality and delicious food!! I was curious about the shaken beef salad (people are raving about it at Le Colonial) and it was so tasty and flavorful! Marinated beef on a bed of mixed greens and some rice. Also had to get the Vietnamese coffee. Very gracious service and was given a free citrus drink to go at the end. I cannot say enough good things - just be sure to stop by and support local businesses! read more

Although the exterior is not the most appealing, the food and service will blow you away. Golden Saigon is such a cute restaurant. I love the more intimate feel, quiet vibe and private booths. Service was awesome and they even gave us a free little appetizer to start off with. And let me tell you it was the bomb. The food is top-notch. Chicken and broccoli with rice was interestingly good. The presentation was not what I expected, it was more like a soup, but was so tasty. read more

Excellent food. I had the beef curry and my husband had the kung pao chicken. For appetizer we had crispy pork egg rolls. They were excellent too! This is one of the best, if not THE best vietnamese restaurant. Thank you Golden Saigon! read more

I came here on a sunday evening and it was seated right away. We ordered pho and com and both were pretty good flavor wise. My pho unfortunately came with broken up noodles- it seemed like someone cut it up for a toddler or something. However, I was in a rush and thought it would be fine to eat anyways. I did let them know, and they asked if they could make me a new bowl, which I declined because again, I was in a rush. They gave me 50% off which I thought was fair. I thought it was handled well, so no complaints for the server! Just wonder how the noodles were okayed to use. The flavor of the pho was pretty good. The com was also pretty good but the sauce needed a bit more lime- it was a little too sweet. Interior was nice as well! I would definitely try again. read more

Love their food. However their service is pretty slow especially on foods that don't get ordered often. I like their homemade drink and gyoza as the compensation though. Parking could be tough during peak hours. Only come back when they're not too busy. Prepare for a long service when you come here read more

This food was disgusting!!! I had to throw everything away. Rice was mushy. Sesame chicken had little hairs in it. Don't think it was chicken!!!! read more

Came here for the first time and the food was great! The Sesame shrimp was crispy and hot AF! The service was fantastic too.

Long review ahead! Heard so many great things about this place, but ultimately it was a very disappointing experience for us. Don't get me wrong, the food was great, but the process to get to that point was terrible and we probably will not return or dine-in. We called ahead because we had a friend visiting and wanted to be cognizant of the limited time we had and were told the wait would only be 30 minutes, so we showed up and added ourselves to the (very outdated) handwritten waitlist in a notebook. 45 minutes passed and hardly anyone was taken off the waitlist. The only people leaving the restaurant were people who were on the waitlist and sick of waiting. As we moved further up the waitlist, I noticed a couple had left the establishment. When the host shouted out their name several times and they weren't there, they crossed them off and moved down the list. The annoying part is the couple returned 10 minutes later and saw they were crossed off the list and flagged the host. The host, who was about to seat another couple that was further down the list - like actually about to walk them to their table - decided to seat this couple instead. It seemed unfair to the people who had been attentively waiting for their name to be called. I think having some technology like Yelp waitlists where people can leave while waiting and not lose their spot would be nice, but if the restaurant is using a paper waitlist and customers are not sticking around to hear for their name to be called, then they should be added back to the end of the list. Onto the actual dining experience. We finally got seated nearly 1.5 hours after arriving. By then, it was well past their 8pm close time but they were willing to honor all customers still waiting - I feel bad for the staff working at this restaurant. The first water they brought out to me had gnats in it, which they promptly replaced when I brought it to their attention. We ordered spring rolls but they brought out spring rolls and egg rolls by accident, which I think was the waiter's misunderstanding since we were trying to decide between one or the other. They got my boyfriend's order wrong (he ordered lemon grass chicken but they brought out lemon grass shrimp) - not a big deal but just another hiccup though. They brought out complimentary appetizers and a dessert, but it was a bit hard to make up for the long wait to be seated and everything following that. We didn't get home until nearly 10pm, which we didn't want a late night and was why we called ahead. Had we known it would be such a long process, we would have gone to another one of the many good viet spots in the area. Golden Saigon needs to invest in some better technology that will probably actually HELP them churn more customers in and out efficiently and profit more. The hosts and servers were working very hard, but I felt really bad because it seemed like they were under a lot more stress than they needed to be - the owners should modernize their process more and get with the program that many other businesses are on. read more

Love this place because the staff is so friendly. They always throw in a free appetizer if your order is large enough.

This was disgusting!!! The fried rice was over cooked. And I don't believe the chicken used in the sesame chicken was really chicken. Chicken doesn't have hair in it, maybe feathers but HAIR! read more

You have to try their food! Run. don't walk. Just make sure you make a reservation first otherwise you're waiting at least 30-40 minutes in the cold (they don't have heaters or a fire pit). This is a small business with limited seating. It's a little run down but it's worth every penny. They accidentally sat someone before us and gave us feee dumplings, which were relaxing on a bed of their curry sauce, making me wish I ordered curry We also got the pork egg rolls, which said online were gluten free. So far i'm doing ok so far so I think that is accurate. Their menu doesn't show what is gluten free but online does. All of the food was incredible. You receive generous helpings. I definitely had to take some home for lunch tomorrow. Overall, I want to dive head first into whatever fish sauce they make. It's to die for! The service was great, staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

Let me tell you, this place is hands down the BEST pho restaurant I've had. We came in during Sunday lunch and it wasn't as busy. We were seated fairly fast. Afterwards, the waiters tended to us fairly quickly. I really love the inside of this restaurant because it's super homey and authentic (you know the food is gonna be gooood!). The workers were super kind and sweet. They accommodated to us and even served us two kinds of soup on the house! You could tell they value their customers. I ordered a kids size pho combo, iced coffee, and viet spring rolls. Pho combo 5/5 -- their pho is sooo good and flavorful. I don't even like pho but this pho, I could not stop eating/sipping their broth!! Their meat was sooooo tender and juicy! Honestly, you didn't need to add any add-ins. It was THAT flavorful! Viet rolls 5/5 -- I was only expecting the typical shrimp spring rolls but honestly, their rolls had a little twist to it. They had pork and shrimp in it. The pork was flavorful and added so much to the rolls! I thoroughly enjoyed every bite I had. Def, a must try. The only thing I would probably change is the tightness of the roll. It was rolled tight but not as firm as I would like it. It was probably because it was filled so many goodness!! Bon Bo Hue -- my friend ordered this with pho noodles, and it definitely did not disappoint. I had a sip of the broth and the meat, and omg I was raving about it. This is spicy, flavorful, and soooo comforting to eat! I definitely cannot say enough about this dish!! Iced coffee 5/5 -- so good. Perfect amount of sweetness and coffee. Everything really was so good, we came back the next day to enjoy more!! read more
