I'm moving out of state soon, and this was my last meal at Saigon Noodle House -- I wanted to go…read moreout on a high note, and they delivered. The combination rolls here are hands-down some of the best I've had: perfectly wrapped, packed with fresh herbs and shrimp, and that peanut dipping sauce is addictive. And the pho -- rich, fragrant broth, generous portions, everything tastes fresh every single time. It's the kind of bowl that ruins other pho for you. I've eaten here more times than I can count over the years, and I'm genuinely going to miss this place once I'm gone. My only complaint, and it's a running one: the building owners need to fix the damn A/C. It's been an issue for a while and really is the one thing holding back an otherwise perfect spot. If you're in Crofton, do yourself a favor and get the combination rolls and pho before you do anything else on the menu. Going to miss this place.

Came here for lunch on Monday (MLK Day) around 1:30 with my wife, and it honestly hit me that we've…read morebeen here plenty of times but I've never actually left a review. Which is wild, because I know I've taken a bunch of food pics here that I've never posted... complete waste lol. We walked in and were seated immediately and ended up getting the second-to-last available booth. Most of the room was couples on lunch dates, plus a group of friends, and later a party of about 7 took over one of the tables. Noise level was mostly moderate, with a quick sprinkle of loud when that bigger group got going, but nothing crazy, still totally fine for a date or a relaxed lunch. My wife ordered the A2 (slices of eye of round steak, well-done flank, and soft tendon). I got the A6 (eye of round steak and soft tendon). The pho was good, the broth had a lot of flavor. I did order extra noodles because while I like the pho here, the portions are a little smaller compared to some other spots we go to. I loaded mine up with bean sprouts, tore up some basil, and let the jalapeños sit in the bowl for a bit for heat. Lately though, I've been more about the chili oil, which they'll bring out if you ask. We also got shrimp summer rolls, which are always a go-to for me when eating pho anywhere. These were fresh, great texture, and the basil really pops. The peanut sauce is one of the best parts. Honestly, I could come here just for the summer rolls and that sauce. I also grabbed a taro smoothie, lightly sweet and creamy, solid choice. Food came out fast, maybe 8 minutes after ordering. Service here is consistently good. The staff is friendly, not pushy at all, and they actually check in on you without hovering. You can always get someone's attention if you need something. They even let a couple move from a table to a booth once one opened up, which I thought was a nice touch. The place itself is very clean, the tables and floors are always well kept. I don't really remember music, but there was a TV on playing college basketball. Overall vibe is relaxed. Parking can be a little tight since it's tucked behind a Rita's and the layout is kind of awkward, but even when it's full you're not walking far, just a compact lot. Price-wise, our total was about $40, but that included an extra summer roll and an extra smoothie. Without the extras, it would've been under $30. My only real critique is portion size for the price, specifically with the pho. It's not a deal breaker, but it's why this isn't my go-to spot when I'm really hungry. I'm a big guy with a big appetite -- my wife would be fine eating here any day of the week. Would I come back? Yeah. The food is good and the service is solid. For me, this is more of a quick lunch spot or a stop when I'm on the move, rather than a full dinner destination. Consistent, reliable, and never a bad choice, just depends on how hungry you are.

I had been eyeing this place for a while and finally made my first visit! I was tired of the usual…read morefast food and wanted something healthier that didn't sacrifice flavor. The restaurant is small but cute inside, and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I ordered the beef skewers, shrimp summer rolls, shrimp fried rice, and a shrimp salad. My food was ready within the quoted 15-20 minutes, which I appreciated. Once I got everything home, I dug right in. The shrimp salad was incredible! It came with a small container of dressing (I believe it was fish sauce), and it absolutely packed a punch with flavor. I'll definitely be coming back just for this salad. The beef skewers came with two skewers served over a bed of noodles. The beef was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I also tried the shrimp fried rice, which was delicious. The rice was well-seasoned, and they were very generous with the shrimp. The shrimp summer rolls were fresh and tasty, although I wish the peanut sauce on the side had a little more spice. That's really my only minor suggestion. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ordered. The portions were very generous, the food was fresh and flavorful, and it was exactly the kind of healthy, satisfying meal I was looking for. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

This is my friends favorite noodle place and I got you see why…read more Their favorite things is that the portions are very generous. The xl bowl was huge and decently priced. The tofu is also surprisingly good. I had the bbh, which was a good size, and had a lot of meat. Flavor was similar to places I had in Vietnam but not as strong.

Her and the waiters answered questions well. Atmosphere was nice. Lots of space to sit and talk

It's a small place in a strip mall that's just outside of the nice historic part of Annapolis…read more Nonetheless, it was quite busy when I stopped in, and I was lucky to get a table. The menu has some vegetarian selections, and I opted for a unique dish of tofu with pineapple and some savory sauce. I was not convinced this combination would work, but the sauce was excellent and the pineapple stood out without clashing. They offered me a house hot sauce and it was powerful stuff. A Thai tea came with rice-based creamer; most of these use dairy and occasionally coconut, but I think rice was appropriate and was filling without being heavy. And they claim to source their tea from Vietnam and the tea flavor came through strongly. I was surprised that they didn't have more rolls on the menu, and there aren't a ton of places like this in Annapolis, but the fresh and intriguing flavors are clearly a draw.

This review is based strictly on customer service, as my interaction with the restaurant was so…read moredisappointing that I never had the opportunity to try their food. I was genuinely interested in visiting after seeing their advertised pho bowl featuring a massive beef dinosaur rib. Since the price wasn't listed on the menu, I called to inquire about availability, pricing, and placing an order. The woman who answered informed me that they were out of the beef ribs and that they had to be specially ordered. Fair enough. However, as I was preparing to end the conversation, she apparently spoke with someone nearby who mentioned they had one smaller rib remaining and could sell it to me at the regular price. I politely declined. What happened next was completely unprofessional and honestly shocking. Apparently unaware that I could still hear her, the woman loudly remarked to her coworker, "I told you so, he wasn't buying it!" She then began speaking in another language in what sounded like an angry, aggressive tone before abruptly hanging up on me. Seriously? Is this how you treat a potential paying customer? First, why advertise a specialty item if it's not regularly available without a special order? Second, why would you expect a customer to pay full price for a smaller, leftover portion of the advertised product? And most importantly, why become visibly irritated and disrespectful simply because a customer politely declines an offer? The most unfortunate part is that I was still interested in trying something else on their menu. I genuinely enjoy exploring new pho restaurants and frequently share my dining experiences through reviews and recommendations. A positive experience could have easily turned me into a repeat customer who recommended the establishment to others. Instead, one unnecessary interaction completely changed my impression of the business. My recommendation to management: If the beef dinosaur rib is a specialty item requiring advance notice, clearly communicate that on the menu. More importantly, ensure employees understand that courtesy, professionalism, and respect are fundamental to customer service, regardless of whether someone ultimately places an order. I can't speak to the quality of the food because I never got that far. However, I can speak to how I was treated, and unfortunately, that experience was unacceptable. For now, I'll continue supporting my favorite pho establishments in Washington, DC, where I know I can count on excellent food and, just as importantly, being treated like a valued customer. Bottom line: Great food may attract customers, but respectful service is what earns their business and keeps them coming back. Unfortunately, this restaurant lost mine before I ever placed an order.

The stir fry beef was a little on the sweeter side but I added a spicy sauce to it and that balanced it out very well! The service is quick and the food is really good! The price of the food is also really good and reasonable! Well worth checking out!

Popped in after our round of golf nearby and what a tasty delight! Right upon entry, we were…read morewarmly greeted with a smile and seated immediately. I noticed at the entrance there were pictures of patrons and their times for their food competition of eating a super large bowl of pho under a certain time. I asked about it and it was not available, so I am guessing it is only during certain times. But it is for 3lbs of pho under 30 minutes I believe. I opted for my go-to dish (Com Bo Luc Lac), which was good, but the meat was a little too chewy for me. Parking is available and shared with other businesses within the center. Already have on the radar to return to try their pho! Enjoy!

The mango shrimp salad was phenomenal--bright, refreshing, and packed with flavor. It was the perfect mix of sweet, tangy, and savory, and honestly could've been a meal on its own. The fish sauce chicken wings were outstanding: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in a rich, savory sauce that kept you reaching for another wing. We also had the bún bò Huế, which was bold and deeply flavorful with a nice level of spice--exactly what you want from this dish. The pho was comforting and well done, with a clean, aromatic broth and generous portions. The spring rolls were fresh and light, a great starter to balance out the heartier dishes. Overall, Pho Diner delivered on every dish we tried. Solid Vietnamese food with great flavors and variety. Definitely a spot worth coming back to if you're in the Pasadena area.

The quality it still similar, I just appreciate when the ethnicity of the food matches the staff, when possible. But, the staff is friendly and the service is quick. Only thing I don't like is that they are open until 9:PM but it seems if you come after 8:30 they are cleaning up and don't really want to serve you. They should serve until closing time. This is not uncommon in restaurants, but you know... sometimes you really want that bowl of Pho! The search engines list them as OPEN, but they really aren't. I like it and will keep returning. I think we only have 4 Pho places in the Annapolis area (this, Eastport, Severna Park and Davidsonville) so we need to keep them all in business! :)
