Love their grilled pork (V4 vermicelli bowl comes with grilled pork, shrimp, and pork spring roll; grilled pork banh mi is a tasty sandwich). Their spicy lemongrass pho with beef short rib is one of my favorite soupy noodles. Kids eat free Tuesdays is quite the deal. Love that they have delicious food, great service, and reasonably priced. read more

A very nice restaurant option in Issaquah - a few doors down from the REI and Safeway. We saw it a while back and decided to finally try them out. We ordered grilled pork banh mi. It was delicious! The space is nice and the service is wonderful. read more

So close to being good. The ingredients seemed fresh and mostly the flavors are good. The fresh spring rolls are large and mostly stuffed with rice noodles. Too much for me, so I pulled some out of my piece (see pic). Might have wanted to eat the whole thing. But the peanut sauce was boring, very hoisen heavy. My other really liked everything about the Mongolian beef. He enjoyed the sauce and the different style of the dish than he was used to. He cleared his plate. I loved the flavor of the stir-fry vegetables with chicken. However, there was literally two small pieces of carrot and broccoli. The rest was a ton of cabbage with a little onion. OK if you are a cabbage fan. The biggest issue was how much sauce it was swimming in (see end of meal pic). Might give them another try. read more

Okay, I'm surprised by Ms. Saigon Kitchen...in the best way! We didn't have plans to go here as we didn't even know this restaurant existed, but we found this place after parking nearby, so decided to check it out. It had delicious pho, which was great after hiking on a windy, fall day! My partner and I came here on a late Sunday afternoon, and the place wasn't too busy as there were only a few patrons dining inside since it wasn't yet peak dinner hour. We were able to be seated immediately and the server was very prompt and food was made fresh to order. My partner had pho with flank steak while I tried the lemongrass pho with the beef rib. It wasn't the easiest thing to eat, but I highly recommend trying the beef rib pho in the lemongrass broth as the meat was tender and flavorful. I just loved the lemongrass flavor so much, which makes this pho one of the best I've had around town. It's not everyday you find a lemongrass pho, so this one was a gem. Again, not easy to chow down on, as you'll likely have to use your hands to bite into this bad boy, but it's worth it. In addition to different phos, they have rice dishes, vermicelli bowls, appetizers and Vietnamese coffee. The space isn't the largest, but enough for groups to dine in. Parking is plenty as it's located in the business strip that houses REI. read more

We think this place was alright. Nothing too crazy. A decent pho restaurant with plenty offering and surprisingly theres some chinese foods offering as well such as general tso chicken. Etc We came on a weekday evening and was the only one dinning. The staffs were friendly. Unfortunetly it took a while to get our foods; we were surprised as to why but we just assumed that it was just one of those day and hopefully the foods come out much quicker on the regular days. What we got: Shrimp springroll (3.5/5) Your normal springroll served with peanut sauce. Good portions for two. Spicy lemongrass pho (3.5/5) The broth is good and have a nice aroma and flavor. I dont think its spicy enough to be called "spicy". Big chunks of meats and the giant shortribs. Hot stone pho (3.5/5) Interesting pho served on a super hot stone bowl. Broth is boiling hot and they put the noodles and everything else on seperate plate. It comes with the giant shortrib as well. Vietnamese iced coffee (3/5) It was decent. Very light and milky. Was hoping for it to be strong; but i guessed wrong. Overall Its a decent restaurant; nothing too crazy about it tho. read more

The pho has rich, flavorful broth and we enjoyed items like the lemongrass pho with beef rib, meatballs, and brisket, the Vietnamese Bo Ne (Cast Iron Skillet) very consistent flavor. I also liked that the interior was clean with a modern vibe and that the staff were friendly. read more

Been here a few times now. There's not many pho restaurants on the eastside, so in terms of flavor I would say this is definitely one of the better ones that I revisit. I usually get the Pho Your Way with brisket, tripe (bonus: I love tripe and not many places have it!), and meatballs. Broth is fragrant and light, many places are either too salty or lack any depth. It has been consistently each time I went, meat quality is decent and noodles aren't overcooked. They did forget to add tripe into my bowl this time, but quickly corrected that mistake and brought it over. My boyfriend gets the lemongrass pho, the broth for that was also flavorful, but not too salty. As for the beef ribs, sometimes it's tender and falls off the bone easier, but today it was on the tougher side. Not an easy meal to eat if you're on a first date! lol. Decor looks modern and updated, restaurant is brightly lit, as for cleanliness, the sauce area on each table could use some wiping down. Appetizers are quite overpriced for portion size. Prices for the pho are on the higher end, but the portions are fair. As for service, it varies. Sometimes they take your order and you don't see them again until the end, where it could even take a while for the bill to come. Other times they do check up on you. read more

Had dinner here on a rainy Sunday evening. There were a few family in but overall not super crowded. I ordered the Lemongrass pho and enjoyed the large beef rib that came with the order. The beef rib definitely made the dish super interesting as I've never had anything that large in a bowl of pho before! My friends ordered the first item on the chefs special menu (some marinated short rib in a steel platter, with a side of bread) I've never seen that anywhere else before and definitely want to come back to try that next time! read more

Happened to be in the Issaquah area when we were craving pho so we decided to give Ms Saigon a shot. We got the pho combo and pho tai (rare beef). Overall, it was just okay. The broth lacks depth and is a bit bland which is a general trend of Vietnamese food on the east side. Ms Saigon is in a convenient location and has a nice vibe with good service, but the pho doesn't showcase how good Vietnamese food can be. It's worth making the drive to Seattle (international district/beacon hill) to get really good pho. read more

Ambiance was clean and open. The service was fast and efficient. I was a tad disappointed with the food bc I asked for my chicken not to be too burnt and 1/3 of my chicken was charred. The bun was good. I got it w the egg roll and shrimp, these were hits. The kids menu was good. It was enough food for myself and my kid. read more

My boyfriend and I were feeling hungry for pho and this one was near our hotel so we stopped by. I like to research restaurants that we are visiting ahead of time and found some items that I really wanted to try out. I was curious about their specialty spicy lemongrass pho and Thailand spicy seafood pho as I love trying out different types of pho especially if they are spicy. I recently had a hot stone pot pho so I didn't care for that option but it is a cool option to have! As we first arrived, we were impressed with the interior of the place. It was beautiful and bright using minimalistic decor and colors. There were tables with chairs, tables with booths and a huge long table in the middle with several chairs on both sides. Each table had condiments for pho from sriracha, hoisin sauce, and chili oil. They also had wooden chopsticks at tables as well. We received menus and water and browsed to see what we wanted. My boyfriend got his usual combination pho large while I got a spicy lemongrass pho. We asked for extra bean sprouts which is where we ran into our first issue that I had is that they charge for bean sprouts and it's a $1, other Vietnamese places don't charge for beansprouts. There was no mention of this until we received our bill, which I feel they should have mentioned it was an extra charge. As a former waitress, it was very important to let customers know when there is an additional charge. Plus, there were some discoloration on the basil and jalapeños which was concerning so not sure if the vegetables are all that fresh. Food was pretty good. The broth from the regular pho and the spicy lemongrass pho was flavorfully rich. The spiciness could definitely be better as I didn't feel it was too spicy. The ribs in my pho was very tender and fell off the bones with ease. However, the pricing for the pho is much too high. The portions were decent for large and they provided an okay amount of meat. However, there are so many pho places that offer better for less. There was nothing really that made it different or special from other pho places. The spicy lemongrass pho was definitely different but not $20 different. Plus there were some weird bits in the spicy lemongrass broth that made it annoying to randomly spit out while sipping or eating. The service was non-existent. I will give them credit for refilling our waters whenever it got low but they never checked in on us. And when my boyfriend paid, he tipped accordingly and the waitress showed clear issue with the amount. We had asked for a bag and to go container but she just forgot. We had to tell her again and she brought out a to go container, then we had to ask again for a bag. We personally tip according to how service is as again, I was a former waitress and that was how I learned and I teach others as you should only tip well when you receive good service. There was no service here. We weren't greeted at the door, there was no hospitality or professional service and no mention of the extra charge on bean sprouts. In addition, if you show how visibly upset you are at a tip and "forget" to get us stuff we requested then maybe consider a different job. Or just provide better service for a better tip. read more

We took my mom to lunch & wow- it was packed! It's not a very big place but nice & clean & organized. We were greeted right away & got a nice booth & ordered iced teas while we looked at the menu. We got the shrimp spring rolls & chicken spring rolls to start- so delicious with tasty dipping sauce. We decided on Wonton soup- huge portion & delicious, Mongolian beef & added chicken- very flavorful- & the popular beef plate- lots of tasty beef. The flavors were all good, portions were generous & prices reasonable. We will definitely be back! read more

We were craving some hot soup after skiing and found this place. The inside was clean and bright. We ordered combo pho, beef rib pho and the stone pot pho. They warned you the stone pot was very hot and that's no joke! The whole pit was boiling! Even after we put in the raw beef and noodles in it, the whole pot stayed hot for a long time. It was my first stone pot pho experience and I'm sure I will be back for more. read more

Most pho restaurants fall into the "good enough" category for me - the food is good but usually not especially delicious or memorable. Ms Saigon Kitchen's pho for me is both delicious and memorable which is why they are currently my favorite Pho place in the Seattle area. My go-to is the spicy lemongrass pho. The broth is particularly delicious with the lemongrass flavor being apparent but not overpowering. The broth also isn't very spicy with the spice mostly being a touch of flavor. Overall it is a nice, hearty broth, perfect for a cold winter day. The spicy lemongrass pho also comes with two beef ribs. These beef ribs are impressive at first, but I personally find eating ribs with pho a bit tedious so I replaced the ribs with more meatballs and brisket the second time I got the spicy lemongrass pho. I've also tried sips of the hot stone pho which my girlfriend usually gets. The beef flavor in the hot stone pho is quite strong which I also like. Overall, I've been impressed with Ms Saigon Kitchen (more so than places like Pho Ever or Pho Bac Sup Shop) and will certainly be back many times in the future whenever I'm craving pho. read more

Ms. Saigon Kitchen is a great new Vietnamese restaurant in the shopping center with REI and Safeway off NW Gilman Blvd. The service is great, and my husband and I really enjoyed our meal. We started with chicken wings with sweet fish sauce. The wings had the perfect texture and were not dry at all. For our main course, we got the beef rib pho and hot stone pho (beef rib, beef meatballs, and sliced ribeye steak). I thought it was interesting presentation to see the stone pho deconstructed with the broth boiling. The rib meat was so tender and flavorful. It fell right off the bone. The broth was light and tasty. We were the first ones in the restaurant at about 11am on a Saturday morning, but it quickly filled up by the time we left. read more

The food is usually good and the takeout Mongolian Beef was a disappointment. The beef was cold and certain pieces were tough and rubbery.

I have mixed feelings about this spot. Wanted to try something different and took my parents out to try their hot stone pho. The rare beef came out really thin and probably about 2oz of meat, what a bummer. The beef ribs are the ones to rave about. So beefy and huge!! The pho came out not as bubbling hot as we hoped for. Perhaps, leave the bowl over the fire to heat it up first? Just a suggestion. Also the beef skillet wasn't skillet-y. Appetizers were good tho. We probably won't return, but it was worth the experience, thank you. read more

We came here to check out this new place in Issaquah. The restaurant is clean and looks fancy. We wanted to take advantage of the 20% off opening so we ordered 4 items. The wings had good flavor but I wish theyvhad been a little bit more saucy. They were out of ribs so I asked them to sub with more steak but I don't think they did. The broth was ok. The Pho smell was there but it missed the umami flavor. The garlic seafood pho was interesting but nothing really special. We also ordered ube vietnamese coffee. The coffee was great but I didn't taste any ube at all. Service wasn't bad but it's not crowded anyway Overall, this was quite a disappointment considering the price. I may come back when they still have this promotion to give them another try. read more

We were finally able to try this place after months of "thinking" about it. Very nice airy ambience, considering the location. Peaceful. Many options in the menu. Prices seemed a bit high, but I've haven't visited a Vietnamese restaurant stateside in a while. While not Vietnamese, the panang curry was quite good. The two out of three stars spiciness was perfect. Courteous but non-intrusive staff were all quite young and pleasant. My friends had the pho and fried rice, respectively. Both enjoyed their dishes as well. All in all, a pleasant experience in a busy strip mall. read more

We were excited to try this place upon seeing the grand opening sign a week ago. There were plenty of tables available on a Thursday evening. Upon walking in, the place appeared well-lit and clean. First impression of the menu-"phew! This place is expensive!" A Vietnamese coffee is close to $8. Most appetizers were $9-14! We ordered Saigon Chicken Wing with Fish Sauce ($10). It was delicious! Crispy exterior and juicy meat. The fish sauce wasn't too "fishy", well balanced garlicky flavor. We also split the Lemongrass Spicy Pho ($20). It came with a huge beef bone with lots of meat on it. Aside from that, there were brisket slices and meatballs. When it comes to Pho, everyone knows the broth should be the highlight..but I have to say this broth was just mediocre. We purposely got this pho rather than the other ones thinking this one was going to be extra flavorful with lemongrass and spicy. Unfortunately it wasn't the case. Although the pho looked great, the flavor was lacking. Pretty disappointing for a $20 pho. read more

We've come a handful of times while they were offering their grand opening 20% off promotion. The beef rib pho and grilled chicken noodle bowl was delicious! Not a strong fish sauce flavor if that is what you're expecting. From experience, their dine-in portions are much larger than their to-go portions. Other food we tried that isn't pictured is the fried chicken wings (crispy and good flavor) and banh mi (good portion of meat but hard to pay that much for a banh mi). The prices seem pretty high without the 20% off promotion, but with the promotion, we were very happy with the price, quality, portions. The service has always been friendly, quick, and attentive. And the atmosphere of the restaurant is clean and modern. read more

We've been hoping for a solid Vietnamese spot in Issaquah as every other spot in Issaquah has been disappointing. We were anxiously awaiting this restaurant to open in hopes it would hit the spot. We went in last Sunday and ordered the fish sauce wings, stone pot pho and bo ne. We found all to be very flavorful. The pho came out bubbling hot and it had great flavor. Good portion of meat as well. I do wish they had a regular "dac biet" option that has all the meat variety but not with the upcharge of the stone pot. Bo Ne isn't something commonly found at most Vietnamese restaurants so I had to try it. It had great flavor with a sweet and savory sauce. Came with fresh bread that was perfect for making little sandwich bites and soaking up the sauce. Good portion of meat. It definitely could have been hotter though as it was just warm when it arrived. I was expecting it to be sizzling hot. Guessing they are still working out timing on this dish considering they were able to get the stone pot hot for the pho. The staff was a little disorganized and didn't seem to know how to handle the volume of customers. I'm sure they'll work this out over time. We're looking forward to trying some more dishes to see if we'll be a regular... read more

This has become our go-to Vietnamese pho restaurant surprisingly. There is nothing special about the menu and the appetizers are not great for some reason with the exception of the Saigon chicken wings. However, the entrees are solid and the prices are decent. Cafe 79 in Kirkland is our favorite but too much of a hike from the Eastside. Plus, it's tiny and with terrible parking. Square Lotus is also good, but we don't go there as much for some reason. read more
