Miss Saigon has a lot of really good gems on the menu and an extensive drink menu. Although the restaurant is definitely pricey for what you get, I didn't leave feeling like I could have gotten similar dishes for half the price on Washington Ave. Out of everything I tried, the oxtail pho and spring rolls were the only dishes that seemed like more straight forward Vietnamese dishes, but even with the pho, the oxtail really made my night because of how tender and delicious it was. The crab fried rice was also fantastic as well as the braised pork belly bao. The quality of service was a little quirky, as if the waiter had hired his friends as waitstaff, but it added to the experience. Our waiter was very fun and friendly. This is a great option, especially for a late night dinner, as it stays open much later on weekdays than most restaurants in Center City. Looking forward to trying more items on the menu! read more

The place is really beautiful to look at, picturesque for sure! The food felt a little not worth the price. The dish I had was so-so. Was a little surprised by the undercooked garlic. Waitress was a little short with me but I think she was tired. Hope she's ok! I would go back to the scene for drinks and smaller bites read more

This place is so fantastic I'm so glad we came here on a whim. The drinks were delicious and the bao was amazing. If we can do it, we are going to come again tomorrow (it is that good). The staff were so nice and everything came out perfectly in a timely manner. Please come eat here you will love it. It's beautiful! read more

Great food options the spicy cucumbers were delicious so glad we ordered some. The veggie pho came with fried tofu perfect texture I did have to request more broth and it was loaded with crisp fresh veggies and noodles. Cute decor and very nice upbeat music which made for a nostalgic mood with the song selections. The staff was attentive and they honored the military discount even thanked me for my service. Would definitely recommend! read more

We came here for their happy hour and dined at the bar. It was pretty busy for a Thursday night, it looked like they had some type of networking event at the bar in the back. Decorations were nice and they played good music, overall a good vibe. We ordered their banh khot, mini banh mi with lemon grass chicken, thit nuong, pork belly baos, and cha gio. Pricing was super reasonable at $7 a dish. The food came out very fast and everything was fresh. I'm Vietnamese and thought everything tasted very authentic, my favorite was the banh khot. We also ordered the Viet 75, Hello Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, and the ube espresso martini. We loved the Viet 75 and the coconut flan was a great way to end the evening. Our server at the bar was attentive and made great drinks. Looking forward to trying their oysters and pho next time! read more

I am from Southern California where we have the best Vietnamese food anywhere so my standards are super high. Food: 5/5 We got their skewers, banh kok, and fries. The skewers were pretty good! The chicken one was super delicious and came with really good dipping sauce. The banh kok was really good and great with wrapped with her pickled veggies and lettuce. The fries were crispy and came with a turmeric dipping sauce. Drinks: 5/5 We ordered a few Vietnamese inspired drinks. They tasted good, especially the Hello Ha Noi. It tasted like a tikki drink and was pretty strong. Service: 5/5 The servers were really nice and we got seated pretty quickly. The food came out relatively quick and so did the drinks. Price: 3/5 Our bill came out to about $200 and we only got appetizers and drinks. The drinks and food were good but the portions were pretty small. There is also a 20% automatic gratuity charge, an 8% tax, and a 3% credit card service fee. If we ordered $100 bill, it would automatically charge $31 for just fees, which is a little ridiculous. For these prices, I definitely do not think it is worth it. Ambiance: 4/5 This place has a modern artsy take to traditional Vietnamese cuisine. We got seated upstairs in one of the tables right next to another party. I don't know if this is normal for Philadelphia because of space constraints, but our table was arms distance from the table right next to us. I could overhear their entire conversation. read more

Do you find yourself looking for happy hour on Sunday like we were yesterday? Then come here! They have two! Regular happy hour and late night happy hour! Our group ordered up more than a few dishes but my daughter and I split the oysters. Delicious, huge and fresh. The cocktails were delicious and Eric the bartender is a star here. I'm not kidding. If you land at this bar and he happens to be taking care of you, you will leave very happy! Bonus that this place is on the quiet side with the most lovely decor. Our group all agreed that we will be returning. So many times! read more

Absolutely beautiful location! The food was very tasty, we chose to have our dishes family style- we ordered the skewers, bani mi sandwiches, pickled cucumbers, and pork belly bao. Our waitress was very kind and also added additional portions so each person in our party could try each dish. The mocktails and cocktails were very delicious, although mildly pricey. Overall I highly recommend this location and definitely think it's worth it for happy hour. Also if available bring cash to pay as there is a 3% credit card fee. read more

Upscale Vietnamese food that still tastes traditional. From the outside the vibe looks romantic. But they walked us to possibly the worst table in the back upstairs by the bar haha. You can't win all the time i guess. The menu is not really clear or descriptive but the server was very helpful. The pho can be ordered in two sizes despite showing only the cheaper price. I got fries that said fish sauce but I didn't really taste any fish sauce. The pho was veryyyy tasty but the beef was tough (toooo chewy!). the bo ne I got was very flavorful too! It's not on the menu online but they said it was a brunch favorite that made it to the dinner menu recently. I drank an imported can of Vietnamese pale ale, solid flavor and not too hoppy. The table next to us got sparklers for their birthday event. They have automatic gratuity plus a 3% charge for credit card. The math looked like the charge was on top of tip. So Its a little pricey but feels like the norm for the area. read more

Ended up having Miss Saigon twice while in town for a conference. Once was take out to eat super gross in my hotel room. The next was dine in with friends. The staff are really excellent, they were very kind and welcoming. Service was very good. The ambiance is also super cute, very Instagramable if you're into that kind of thing. I had the mini bahn mi sandwiches with tofu and they were really tasty. I also had the summer rolls which do need some work. They were a large portion but had almost no flavor. read more

I can't stop thinking about Miss Vietnam. The atmosphere is dreamy with so much to see and filled with vibrant colors, and Text. The "vibe" absolutely topped off a terrific culinary experience. I love Vietnamese food! So fresh and clean, this restaurant did not disappoint. I loved the summer rolls filled with lettuce and mint, and the Pho was hands-down the best I've ever had. The spring rolls were also excellent. This is the best Vietnamese food I've had in a long time, and I can't wait to go back. I live in the suburbs and find myself thinking about driving into the city just to visit this lovely spot again. read more

Was just at Miss Saigon last night with friends. The place is stunning and beautiful and the food was all came out of the kitchen beautifully plated! We each tried a different app (vegetarian summer rolls, vegetarian spring rolls, satay and pork & crab spring roll) and our entrees (pho, crab noodle vermicelli and shrimp fried rice). The staff were all friendly, welcoming and engaging throughout the night AND the people in the bar space were lively, talkative and seemed to be enjoying friendly conversations with each other. I am so impressed with this establishment and can't wait to go back again! Philly is a great food town and we all thought that this place fits right in to that vibe! read more

Upscale Vietnamese eatery in center city. Servers are attentive. Unfortunately not the most vegetarian friendly restaurant. There are two veggie entrees on the menu. Tried the bahn xeo tacos which were greasier than expected. Also tried the fried banana dessert which had a bit of a slimy texture and was very oily. Good addition to the area but maybe not the most veggie friendly! read more

$20 for a bowl of beef pho is criminal. What's even more criminal are the prices for everything else. On top of that, automatic 20% tip and 3% credit card fee... Pho broth was stupid levels of salty. I did however like the noodles, more of a northern style. read more

I wanted to like this place so much because of the gorgeous inside decorations and an asian business, but I did not like it. Expensiveee food and drinks and nothing stood out that we ordered.

The atmosphere and décor are really nice, with a cool bar vibe. It's a good spot to have a few drinks and hang out at night. However, the food was just okay -- nothing too impressive. I'd come back for the drinks and ambiance, but not necessarily for the food. read more

Oh what a treat! Miss Saigon has some stellar things to offer. We had a double date here and it was a great spot to catch up and enjoy some solid noms! We tried their fries and banh mi for the table as our apps and then my wife and I shared their tacos and pho as our meal. I loved that everything was able to be made vegetarian! Everything was so good and perfect for a rainy evening! We enjoyed their service and the drinks were really inspiring and well presented - points for that for sure! Parking was manageable for a weeknight but it's definitely a crowded part of town so plan accordingly especially if you're planning to dine at peak hours. Enjoy your time! read more

The lunch combo is a very good value deal, you get a small pho, 2 banh mi, and a drink. Pho broth is okay and the noodle is the big noodle type. I'm not a big fan of their banh mi because they use spicy mayo sauce. The meat is normal. Their fries is normal, more on the salty side and is pretty crunchy. The skewers are good. The chicken and pork are very tender. For some reason, the beef is pretty sour. Nice service! read more

Our hotel is right across from this restaurant. Definitely had to try it because they open late on the weekends. I must say... what a surprise when you walk in.

Not sure why this restaurant has so many good reviews. The ambiance is nice and our waiter was nice but that's about it. It is not kids friendly at all. The hostess tried to make us carry our stroller up the stairs but we managed to find a place for it downstairs ourselves. They have happy hour menu but told us it was at the bar only. For food, we wanted the pho and upgraded for a bowl instead of a cup and it ended up being $20 for a standard sized bowl that you usually get at a traditional viet spot. The meat they gave was mostly meatballs with maybe 2 small slices of beef round, no tendons or tripe. The broth was also overly sweet. Not traditional pho broth and also not traditional noodles ( I can forgive the noodles) The thit kho (pork belly with rice) was also overly sweet. The chicken skewers were ok but we found a piece that was undercooked. On top of that everything was overpriced and they included automatic 20% tip (for all parties) and 3% for credit cards. With so many viet choices in Philly, this is definitely a pass. read more

Dearest reader, it pains me to write this review, truly. Miss Saigon failed us. When my sister booked a family party there for June 1st, they should have told her then that Walnut Street, and other adjacent streets, would be closed for Pride events, so that she could let all of her guests know to take extra time in getting there. They did not, making the experience of both getting there and leaving nightmarish. That was a very poor way to treat a customer celebrating an important milestone. Sigh. Second, when we arrived, I told the staff I have a seafood allergy. I do this anyplace where seafood is prominent on the menu, and where seafood based broths and sauces are used. I ordered a beef dish, which the server said was "safe" and I agreed - you would have thought was a safe choice too, right? One and a half bites in, my throat started to constrict, reacting to the iodine in the dish. I choked and felt the intense itch and mucous avalanche that signals a reaction. I had long ago stopped taking epi pens with me as it's a very avoidable allergy. If I'm not sure what's in something, I don't eat it. I tell restaurants before I order, and I never go to Red Lobster. Fortunately, one of our friends did have antihistamines and a pen. She rushed over, gate me a powerful liquid antihistamine that I felt working in 2-3 minutes, and had other meds to give me relief. After that, a server came to me and listed all the "safe" dishes they had. Ummmm... what I had ordered was on the "safe" list. I politely told get that I wasn't going to eat anything else from this restaurant. She kept offering. I told her I didn't blame her personally for what happened. I still wasn't going to eat anything else there. So what do they do? Bring me more food that is "safe". I even got a big pile of steamed white rice brought to me. Mystifying. I really wanted to be left alone. Even with meds, seafood allergies settle in for a while, leaving me feeling like garbage. Pushing more food at me doesn't make that better. It makes it worse as my stomach was already starting to ache from the food that I ingested. The restaurant is lively with loud booming club music, so conversations were difficult. The karaoke room though was beautiful, lots of flowers hanging from the ceiling and such. It should come as no surprise, friends, that Im not going back. read more

Really cool space. Drinks not too expensive, but not cheap either. Open 'til 2AM on a Friday-Saturday night. Bartender was great. Let us try things. While not a huge selection (variety) of things, enough to make a go of it. Other customers were very friendly as was the host. Music hummed most of the time we were there. Good beats, but not too loud to hear either talk. Would likely return. And, don't forget to try the specialty cocktails. Check it out. -- workingman's gourmand read more

Came here in a rainy night. Wanting soup and guess who's open? This place! Had to come in to get some pho fix. Just came from DC now here in Philly bound. A great way to end my night. This place is so cute with lots of mirrors and beautiful interior ceiling lamps. Very friendly service. I must say this is a good place just to chill and get some drinks at night time. Check it out you won't regret it. Ordered only 1 soup for tonight. Definitely coming back before I leave this town. read more

Miss Saigon for a quick NYE drink? Sure why not? Surprisingly it wasn't too packed in there so we grabbed a seat at their second bar. It's reaaaally cozy up in there and I hope they have a second floor so folks can have more seating space. We were immediately greeted by the owner who was extremely hospitable, greeting and chatting with folks, helping out. The staff were super nice and helpful. Didn't try the food but would definitely like to come back to try. My only thing is...their drink menu is insanely expensive. Starting at about $19 bucks is wild! read more

The very best Pho in Center City in my humble opinion. I prefer going here for a quiet respite during lunch hours from 1130-1500. At 1630-1830 they have a decent HH. At night it becomes a loud crowded cocktail lounge. The service is always welcoming and the aesthetic is beautiful. 5 Banh Mi's! read more

Miss Saigon - Bone-In Short Rib Pho - Lounges Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Perfect pre-theatre meal at Miss Saigon! My reservation profile notes a preference for standard (non-high-top) seating and the hostess recognized that and seated us upstairs where we had a beautiful view of hanging lanterns and lit-up tree for the holidays. The Hang Son Doong (Bacon-infused redemption burbon, orange-maple syrup, Saigon chocolate bitters) was well received and I loved my spirit-free Fresh Ginger Beer (nice and ginger-y!). We shared an order of the Skinni Mini Bánh Mì (lemongrass pork, mini baguette, butter aioli, cucumber, pickled vegetables, cilantro), Braised Pork Belly Bao (quail eggs, pickled shallots, daikon, carrots, Thai chili aioli), Saigon Fries (misted with fish sauce and served with coconut turmeric aioli), and the Combo Lettuce Wrap Platter (lettuce, cucumber, mint, cilantro, sides of Saigon vinaigrette with 4 bánh khot, 2 spring rolls, and 2 skewers). Everything was well-seasoned and flavorful. The quail egg on the bao was different and truly made them special! For dessert, we tried the Vietnamese-coffee based play on tiramisu and the lychee sorbet. Both were tasty, though the Vietnamese-coffee is a bit deeper in flavor than even espresso, so overwhelmed the other flavors a bit. We will definitely return to try more offerings! read more

The inside of the restaurant is super cute inside and I love the aesthetic inside. We didn't have a reservation but the hostess was very accommodating and was able to squeeze us in and mentioned that she is always willing to help if she can. We got the pho with the short rib. It kind of took a longer time to bring out but it was ok. The short rib was juicy and tender. The pho broth wasn't my favorite but it was still good. It just didn't have the rich bone broth flavor that's I'm used to. I liked the platter because the spring rolls were good. All in all good experience and they label all of their gluten free options if you are with someone that has a gluten allergy. read more

Miss Saigon has quickly become one of my favorite Happy Hour spots in the city. I love everything about this place. Good music, delicious cocktails and tasty bites. The fried fish comes with veggies, sauce and rice paper to essentially create a DIY dish. It's enough to feed 2 or take home for some left overs. Summer and Spring rolls are a must. There's also a great happy hour full of drinks and small bites. The fries are soooo good. read more

Visiting Philly for the first time and this resturant was near our hotel. Most of our experience with Vietnamese food has been limited so it was nice to expand our palate in this cuisine .

I chose to come to Miss Saigon after seeing great reviews on Google and wanting something warm. In terms of ambience, the interior was pretty and it seemed like a great date spot or place to get drinks. In terms of the food, I treated myself to the bone in short rib pho and I wasn't a big fan. I got a massive short rib in my pho but it was incredibly stiff and didn't fall right off. Because of that, I had a hard time eating it. At some point, I kept trying to get the attention of the servers to get a knife or scissor to cut the rib, and had to eventually walk up to them myself. By the time I actually cut through the rib, my broth was a bit cold. I also wish there was more sriracha that came with the broth but I also didn't ask. Overall, it wasn't bad but definitely not my favorite spot. read more

Miss Saigon - Bone In Short Rib Pho - Lounges Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Terrific happy hour, which is extra great because they have TWO bars. Note: you can't do happy hour at the high tops in the bar area - just the bar(s). They have a large assortment of food for happy hour, which range from the little bite sized pancake things to oysters and mini bahn mi's, which have amazing bread obviously. We basically get at least one of everything and a cocktail or two and call it a night. Service can be slower when they're busy (which they always are for happy hour). Also, the inside is very cool. They did a great job capturing the Vietnam's beautiful lanterns! read more
