4 because it serve both elevated pho and drinks - basically unique and you can't get that at most other pho places. The place is new so it's nice and clean inside. The order taking was quick. The stone pot pho came out piping hot and that's just how I like my stuff - really hot! The rib was big and tender (yet it was chewy on some parts so I undertand what some of the other reviews said) though it was all very good in my personal opinion. Also the noodle wasn't overcooked for my entree bc it did come on the plate and I can put it in and take it out if I didn't want it overly done. The noodle bowl has plenty of veggie and meat so it was with the money considering it's not cheap anywhere else these days. The Ube coffee drink was strong and sweet so if you like a strong coffee you need to try. I recommend trying the place and if you can take piping hot soup - try the stone pot pho. read more

They scrimp on quality- ex: the veggie pho was literally a bowl full of cheap noodles with very few actual veggies and tofu. Even more disappointing was the response of the female server who said she would ask the chef about it ( without actually taking it back to show the chef)- she returned and said that is how the chef said it is supposed to be. Zero effort made to fix the issue which could have otherwise prevented the two star review. Bathroom also had no paper towel dispenser or dryer when we went. I can imagine this overpriced place will go downhill fast since quality of ingredients and service is clearly not a priority. Their coffee, however, was surprisingly nice. read more

Ms Saigon Kitchen - This is supposed to be veggie Pho- literally a bowl of cheap noodles for ~ $20 after tax. Go elsewhere. - Vietnamese Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

Solid garlic butter fried chicken. Deliciously crispy crunchy juicy savory chicken. 5/5 Stone bowl pho 4/5. Nice tender rare roundeye steak slices. Broth is not bad. HUGE beef rib. Nice gimmick with the stone bowl but it adds nothing to the eating experience. It doesn't even keep the broth that much warmer than a regular ceramic bowl. Bo ne (Vietnamese equivalent of the English full breakfast). This is an interesting take of the Bo ne but it's so different from what im used to. They use roundeye slices instead of steak cuts. Cherry tomatoes instead of big tomato slices. The pate is really good tho. read more

Went here for lunch on a weds. Not a whole lot of people yet as it's a newer restaurant. A few of us sat down and found the service to be quick and the setting to be modern, clean, and trendy! Pricing was high for a Vietnamese restaurant with a regular large bowl of pho around 16-18 and their hot stone pho at 23 dollars. I personally had the hot stone pho which did keep the soup nice and hot through the meal. The beef rib that came with the soup was not cooked down so the meat would fall off the bone making it difficult to eat . Probably wouldn't recommend it due to that. Soup for the pho was full of flavor and rich . Hit the spot on a cold day. I'll likely try this place again down the road but for now I found the pricing to be overly high for all items on the menu. 10+ for banh mi, 7-9 dollars for Vietnamese iced coffee (depending on variation) , 16-23 dollars for an average at best sized bowl of pho. A lunch meal for 3 of us in total was 90 dollars. read more

This place opened up right across the street from where I live so I was really excited to go try it out opening week since I absolutely love vietnamese food and have been eating it regularly for over a decade. My wife got the tofu banh mi. It was a little on the dry side, especially the bread, but was fresh and flavorful. Since we were dining it, she was able to add some hoisin, sriracha and sambal to the sandwich for a little extra flavor and to help with a little moisture to the bread. Definitely not worth the $10 though. I got the Beef Ribs pho as that was recommended and their signature dish and it is also one of my most favorite meals in the world. It came out in a large bowl barely half full with broth and the two giant dinosaur ribs sticking out. The broth itself was quite flavorful albeit way too sweet (they really should add about a third of the sugar coz it almost felt like dessert) and the noodles and garnish were fresh and hit the spot. I wish there was more broth in such a big bowl and that they didn't use such a wide bowl where everything cooled down very quickly. By far the biggest disappointment were the ribs. First off, they were absolutely cold. Like they had been lying out on the counter all day and nobody bothered to dunk it into the hot broth for 30 seconds before serving; come on guys, it's not that hard. Secondly, they were severely, and I mean severely undercooked, to the point of being inedible. The sinew and connective tissues hadn't yet broken down, the gristle all still clung to the bone, the fat under the skin hadn't rendered and was still a raw chewy mess and beef ribs which are supposed to be a tender succulent cut ended up being an impossible jaw workout. I was maybe able to eat 25% of each rib, the bottom part, and had to literally leave the rest because it was just impossible to chew, let alone swallow. Super disappointed with the pho here. You can't screw up the one dish you're expected to get right, especially when the prices for everything are that steep. It feels like all the attention was spent on the decor and there was none left for the food. I'd rather stick to Issaquah Pho down the street when I'm craving a simple bowl, that too for half the price, or drive to Pho Bac Soup Shop when I want a rib pho. Unfortunate. read more

This is tucked away in the Issaquah Commons, which I swear is some kind of vortex around Target. The restaurant is great, service is quick, and they have amazing wonton soup. I got the garlic broth, which has just the right amount of spice, and the wontons are perfectly seasoned with top notch texture. read more

I'd give this place 3.5 stars so rounding up. Overall it's a nice place you wouldn't expect to find in a mall near a Verizon store. The ambiance is more upscale and nicely decorated. They have booths and a long central table with modern light fixtures. When I arrived at 11:30am, I was the only diner. They have a pretty good selection of dishes but I was curious to try their special pho after reading other reviews. The waiter was very polite and efficient. It was huge! The soup is topped with two large rib bones with lots of meat- that could be its own appetizer itself. The broth was tasty and it had all the essential elements of pho. My friend ordered the vermicelli with chicken and she enjoyed her dish. Overall I like this place for the food and atmosphere. But at $23 for pho, it's a little hard for me to swallow when I can get a good bowl for almost half the price in Bellevue. If I'd never had any other pho, I'd definitely add this to my list of local faves. Worth checking out if you want a nice bowl of soup nearby. read more

Nice ambience , food was meh . Rice and meat were dry. Pho broth was flavorful and the ribs were yummy. Not cool, family didn't finish meal yet and the check was already brought to the table. Need to work on customer service ! read more

This is unlike any pho place I've been to - it's bright, modern, super clean. And because of that, I immediately wrote it off and had low expectations. But I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the brisket pho for myself, as well as fried egg rolls to share. The egg rolls came out super hot, but were not really flavorful. These can be skipped, don't waste your stomach space. The pho, however, was delicious. The bowl seemed a little small at first but held a good amount of food. The broth was flavorful, the meat tender, and there was actually a good meat to pho noodle ratio (frequently it's just a few slices of meat on top with a lot of pho as filler). My friend ordered the hot stone pho (we had seen it on instagram and were intrigued), which comes with a few different types of meat - only one is provided raw and ready to cook in the boiling broth (the other two - ribs and meatballs are already in the bowl placed on the table). Prices are higher than most pho places in the area, but it's a good option if in Issaquah and there's plenty of parking. Service was so-so, which is why I knocked this down a star (the server taking our order said it was his first day, so we extended some grace and patience, but it felt like he was being trained on the go). At one point, there was also four waiters standing behind the counter and a customer trying to get their attention, so it seems like there could be some improvement in that area. Overall, an enjoyable experience and I love having another pho place in the area, especially as the weather turns colder! read more

My wife suggested we give this place a shot. Surprisingly, there was hardly any wait when we arrived (although it got quite busy later). The decor is quite pleasing, especially for a new spot. As is often the case with fresh establishments, there were some hiccups in service - rushed orders and slight mishaps, perhaps due to staff training. However, this is par for the course, and we hope they'll iron out these kinks for a smoother customer experience. I decided to try their 'hot stone pho.' It was indeed hot, but sadly lacked flavor. In contrast, my wife's dish was more satisfying and cost less! It's a bit of a chuckle when I have to add hoisin and Sriracha to enhance the flavor of the soup. read more

I came here during the grand opening and got takeout. Ms. Saigon Kitchen is located in the Issaquah Commons near REI. There is plenty of parking and the space is easy to find. Inside is a nice layout with plenty of tables, and I saw a few larger groups while I was there as well. I ordered the grilled pork banh mi and fried egg rolls. Since they were busy the order took about twenty minutes to come out. The fried egg rolls were great, especially with the sweet sauce. I finished them before remembering to take a picture. Unfortunately I was severely let down by the grilled pork banh mi, which is the reason I rated this experience at 3 stars. For a regularly priced $10 banh mi, I was expecting a good portion and great sandwich. However, even though the bread was good and there was a good portion of grilled pork, the sandwich was overall very dry, with very little pate, and I wish it had jalapenos in it (or something to give it a bit more of a kick). I would come here again to try their rice and pho dishes but if the banh mi doesn't improve I wouldn't get it again. read more

I was pretty interested to try this restaurant after seeing photos/videos of their Hot Stone Pho online. We ordered a Hot Stone Pho as well as a regular Pho Your Way and they were both delicious. The hot stone definitely had a meatier broth due to the beef rib that it came with. I also enjoyed cooking the pieces of beef steak in the hot broth which allowed the beef to stay tender. Their regular pho was also quite good and you can pick which 2 meat cuts you want in it. Their noodles were on the soft side though which is something that could be improved. Overall a delicious new pho spot in Issaquah. I will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes! read more

A lovely place with the colder seasons coming up. The Stone bowl pho is HOT! and stays HOT for the whole time. Service was quick and friendly. They also filled our water where we never ran out and never had to ask for more. Great location with plenty of parking. the only thing that brought the review to 4 starts is the price. if you go without the stone bowl, it's still one of the more expensive pho places that i've been to. read more

Today marked the grand opening of a new Vietnamese restaurant in Issaquah Commons. Currently there is a 20% off promotion until 09/21. Coincidentally passed by and decided to try it out. Inside had a classy interior that gave a clean, modern feel. There were ten tables with a middle bar counter of shared seating. It was around 5:30 PM and was already quite full. ----- A8. Saigon Chicken Wings in Sweet Fish Sauce: famous Phu Quoc fish sauce marinated chicken wings deep fried ($13). ----- P7. Pho Beef Ribs: fresh rice noodles served with bean sprouts, basil, jalapeno slices and lime. Soup served in an oversized bowl garnished with green onions, yellow onions, and cilantro ($20). ----- CS1. Cast Iron Skillet - Vietnamese Bo Ne: marinated rib eye steaks, fried egg, homemade pate, onion, tomatoes. Served w/ Vietnamese French Bread and homemade mild spicy pickled cabbage & carrots ($22). ----- The dishes were delicious with great flavor and had a nice presentation. Meat was tender and portions were adequate. Including homemade pate also shows authenticity. Did not run into any issues during the visit. The staff was courteous and dishes were served in a timely manner. The lot out front has ample parking spots with other nearby businesses. read more

Food: Food was great, I ordered a steak pho, the meat was tender and the broth was flavorful. My husband ordered general tso's chicken and he loved how crispy the chicken was. We ordered the chicken rice platter for our 3 year old son and he ate the whole thing. Chicken was marinated with lemongrass but it wasn't overwhelming. At the end of our meal we also tried the Vietnamese coffee. It was great, strong coffee taste. Atmosphere: it's a new joint, everything is nice and shiny. Service: I think our server's name is Nathan. He did a great job. Eating out with two kids you ask for a lot. Can I have a cup with a lid, can I get plastic utensils, extra bowl etc. We asked and he brought it each time with a smile on his face, even when the whole place was packed and he was busy. read more

Great food, hidden gem for pho. Slightly on the pricier side but the broth flavor and noodle texture are both great

Right in the Issaquah Commons, conveniently located with plenty of parking. Dining room is bright and clean. Friendly greeted upon entry. Foods served quickly but still made to order. I enjoyed their Vietnamese coffee, strong but still tasted silky with the condensed milk. The grilled pork rice plate was nicely charred. read more

Pho broth was alright; they also have curry which I think it's odd for a Vietnamese restaurant? They have real bone for a bone broth.

Best pho broth I have tasted in a while. Service was very good and the server took time to get to know us.

I tried their lemongrass pho and wouldn't be having that again. It's so oily Their Ban mi sandwiches are good though.

Had lunch here several times over last 6 months, mostly weekends. Food is well executed, but not fancy and reasonably priced - best of all consistent. Best pho in Issaquah, though not as flavorful as pho Than Bros. Bahn mi, garlic fries, wings all good. Service is great when they aren't under staffed. read more

Writing a review so that I can remember not to go here. The service was not good.... they never brought us water even though other tables had water. We had to ask for it, and when they brought the water, there was stuff floating in the glasses of water. The place seemed kinda dirty. The Lemongrass had a large piece of meat on bone in it (guess I should have read the description more closely). We just didn't like any of the items. There was nothing redeeming about the place, so I don't think I would try it again. read more

Good friendly service. Nice decor. Super clean and great menu. Best pho broth I've ever had ... tasted like it was made from bones and meat not from dehydrated powder...and house made wontons! Yum! Simple delicious, perfect for z as cool fall meal. read more

Thank Goodness we just got a great Vietnamese place on the eastside, there are so few IMO. The spicy lemongrass noodle soup here is SO GOOD, tbh it feeds 2 with that huge ass rib they give you which has a ton of meat on it . Service is a bit slower and the place isn't huge so it gets full fast and sometimes you see open tables that haven't been cleaned. 2 really nice single bathrooms and lots of parking! You have to ask for the sauce bowls for the siracha and seafood sauce dip. The price is super fair, especially because some of their dishes can feed 2. read more

It was a cold night and I needed some hot and spicey pho to fill my belly and warm me up. The place is fairly new and well decorated with a modern suburban look. We were greeted and seated quickly. I ordered my standard pho with steak, tendon and brisket. My girlfriend order the pho with a short rib. It came quickly, with steaming hot broth. I added the bean sprouts, basil and my normal large squirt of Sriracha sauce. The broth was great and there was a nice amount of meat. My girlfriends short rib pho was great. She couldn't eat all of the meat from the short rib, so she gave it to me. It was tender and juicy with great flavor. Why not 5 stars? A 5 star rating is for the best of the best. Miss Saigon was very good, but it would need to increase their service levels. Do I recommend this restaurant? Oh yes! If you visit this restaurant, I'm sure you will agree with my review. On my next visit I'll try the bun and write a review for that meal. read more

We came in last weekend on a Saturday. It was pretty busy and had a wait time to get seated. Soon after we got seated, I noticed the servers looked like they were in a bit of chaos. We had to ask 2 different people to take our order before finally someone acknowledged that and actually took our order. Now the actual problem... it took 40minutes for our foods to come. We ordered at 1:25pm, and our appetizer didn't come until 1:53pm and then another 10mins for our entree. We ordered their ribs pho and the Bo Ne for our entree. We had been to lots of pho place, and it certainly didn't take 40mins to prepare noodle soup with ribs. The food was actually good- the Bo Ne and the Garlic Butter Fried Tofu especially; the pho was okay. But there's nothing that would justify 40mins wait for any dine-in meals. They need to get their management together. We were so turned off by the wait, won't be back sadly. 2 stars there for the decent food. read more

We went for lunch on a weekend a while back. Had no issues getting a table. When you walk in you see that it's a fancier Viet place and not the usual dive restaurants. Heck they have mimosas on the menu so that should explain things. I got the beef rib pho in the clay pot. It was delicious albeit it expensive. I liked how the broth stayed hot for the entire meal due to the stone pot. My wife had the bo ne, which we don't order often so couldn't tell you if it was legit or not but my wife enjoyed it. We also got the fish sauce wings which were okay. I think if you're looking for a higher end Viet place that also serves mimosas, then this place is for you. However if you want a "cheap" bowl of good pho, then this place really isn't it. With that said, we haven't gone back and don't think we'll be back. read more

Just had some beef pho. Looks lowkey sketch since no one was there eating. Was just kinda bad, the beef was super chewy, I probably was able to eat one piece. The broth was okay but tasted like it had too much butter. Same with noodles, almost tasted like it was lathered in some sort of fat. Just overall not good read more

Saw that there was a new Pho placed that opened up in Issaquah so we had to take a drive from Lynnwood to try it out when I saw that they did something unique and different with their Pho! First impression when we walked in the restaurant was the decor and the esthetic of the restaurant was very modern and very nice with out they had everything set up, the room was bright and even their bathrooms were clean and nice! I felt like I was in a five star hotel bathroom! Enough with the toilet talk! Let's get to the food talk! My girlfriend and I started out with an order of the spring roll and their butter garlic calamari. I was very disappointed in their spring roll, it was pretty much a veggie roll with how much lettuce and bean sprouts, and little vermicelli and protein in it. For the price of it, I wouldn't ordering again. But the calamari was delicious, the special sauce that they used on it was delicious! The calamari was crispy and it was cooked perfectly. We each ordered Pho, she ordered Pho with ribeye and I ordered their special Hot Stone Pho! This was a very unique way to serve Pho and I really loved the concept. The bowl of Pho cost $23, it is pricey for Pho but it came with beef rib, beef meatball, and sliced rib eye steak on the side! It comes out sizzling hot and the thing that I realized when eating this was make sure to cook and eat your ribeye first because the soup slowly gets warm and you won't be able to cook the meat fast enough. Overall, this was a very nice pho restaurant and I'm glad I was able to experience it! Great service and I would defiantly come back if I'm around the area. read more
