The summer rolls were rolled fresh and the rice paper on them was super chewy with amazing quality shrimp. The pho was phonomenal (pun intended). I wasn't expecting much but the toppings were all super authentic (all the best pho dac biet toppings) and I ordered extra tendon with mine. The broth was super light and fragrant and instead of giving you a full toppings plate, they ask which toppings you'd like which I prefer better anyways because I always feel bad not using the jalapeños it usually comes with. Cannot recommend this place enough. It's perfect for a winter night!

The only bummer was the fried egg on top - I definitely prefer a soft boiled egg. Overall a 3.5 experience but looking forward to trying more!

Everything we had was pretty flavorful and my favorites were the banh mi and the wings. It is a little pricey but considering the fact that Pittsburgh has very few Vietnamese restaurants, it's probably a normal price for Vietnamese food in Pittsburgh. I would come back for the banh mi and wings and to try their pho!

The hoisin sauce bottle hasn't been cleaned in a long, long time and was disgusting to use. The 2 small square white serving dishes were each chipped (BIG chips) on multiple corners. I had a soup which came with multiple (processed?) meats. Each of the meat pieces were large, perfectly round, perfectly uniform in thickness and absolutely uniform in texture. It was almost like eating large, perfectly sliced baloney servings. The spring rolls are huge and about 99% diced lettuce, cucumber and very sparse strands of carrot. There were 2 medium shrimp in each roll that were lost amongst the greenery. The spring roll ingredients were fresh. I've had Vietnamese spring rolls before and these were about 50% bigger than those and bland. The service was great. The food came rather quickly and was hot with generous portions. We didn't complain about anything and we left the waitress an $11 tip on a high $50s bill. The decor inside, and out, was good. A nice atmosphere overall but this place needs a tune up before I'd ever return

Saigon Nights GOOD:…read more Nice food presentation, friendly service, interesting restaurant art BAD: Price for value, neither dish was impressive for the price. I was looking forward to trying Saigon Nights. The inside had nice art work, and the service was fast and friendly. I ordered egg rolls rather then spring rolls. I expected heavier with more filling. They felt and tasted like spring rolls in an egg roll wrapper for over 3.50 each. I ordered the vermicelli with pork and shrimp. It was okay - alot of lettuce, carrots and cucumbers. The pork was good, the shrimp were rubbery tough. I should have stuck to traditional pho, but I wanted something more unique. If I go back, I'd stick with a pho and maybe a bah mi to go.

When I visited this weekend, the hood vent was unfortunately broken, so ramen and pho weren't available. Honestly, I didn't mind at all because I was in the mood for something different and ordered the pork rice bowl--and it was amazing. I also had a spicy tuna roll and a cucumber roll, both incredibly fresh and full of flavor. To top it off, I got a passion fruit tea with chewy and popping boba, which was absolutely delicious. There's plenty of parking available, and lots of seating inside, which makes it really convenient. I also appreciate that there are bins available so you can clean up after yourself. The staff are always so nice and friendly, which makes the experience even better. Even with the limited menu that day, the food and experience were still great. I'll definitely keep coming back!
