No. Are there newer spots that might edge it out? Sure. But that's not really the point here. What Saigon Café does well is consistency. The food tastes the same every time, the menu has plenty of options for everyone, and it's reliably quick -- usually 10-15 minutes and you're good to go. That alone makes it an easy go-to for families. Staff has always been friendly, and the place stays busy, which says a lot. You know exactly what you're getting every visit, and sometimes that matters more than chasing the "best." Not trying to be something it's not -- just a solid, dependable spot that delivers time and time again.

My two brothers ordered the pho and hu tieu, and they both said the food was really good. I ordered the pineapple fried rice, and it definitely did not disappoint. The food came out really fast, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The customer service was also outstanding. The staff checked on us throughout our meal and even kept our water refilled before we had to ask. We didn't even get a chance to take pictures of the food because everything looked and smelled so good that we just started eating right away! Overall, I had a great experience at Saigon Cafe. The food exceeded my expectations, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back to try some of their other dishes next time!

The place functions more like a pickup restaurant with some indoor seating rather than a traditional dine-in restaurant. It's a bit far from our house, but several dishes on their menu are consistently good, so we often make the drive to pick up food. Their menu changes weekly, so make sure to check their weekly menu on Facebook if you're planning to pick up food. They're open for walk-ins Thursday through Sunday. I especially like their dessert menu. They offer a variety of Vietnamese broth noodle dishes and desserts. Their bánh cuốn (Vietnamese steamed rice rolls) are among the best I've had at Vietnamese restaurants in town. I also appreciate that all of their noodles and rice rolls are made in-house. I also really like the attention they put into their to-go packaging and overall branding. They use higher-quality containers for their takeout food, which is a nice touch compared with some places that still use styrofoam containers for hot broth and food. Because the food is cooked fresh daily, one thing to keep in mind is that if you pick up your food and still have other stops to make, it's best to refrigerate it if you're not going to eat it right away. We once picked up food, left it at room temperature for half the day, and by the time we ate it late at night, the bánh cuốn and noodle broth had already developed a sour taste. Overall, the food quality is pretty good, and since they rotate their menu weekly, you get the chance to try different Vietnamese dishes. Highly recommended!

The Phở Tái is my go to menu item and one of my favorites in Metro Atlanta while my wife loves the Phở Rau Cải (veggie pho) with beef broth instead of chicken broth. The broth is a little sweeter than most places, but I think that's what I love about it. The Crispy Fried Duck and the Moo Grob Pad Ped (Pork Belly) are also excellent. The Panang Chicken or Shrimp Curry is another favorite of mine and the Pork Chop plate is very filling. My wife tends to get the veggie stir fry with tofu as well as the veggie spring rolls. But if you are looking for something packed with exceptional flavor, the minced pork GRA POW is a must try! The cashier, who also happens to be the only server, is also the chef/owners wife. Great people! They have treated me like family since my very first visit. She is extremely hospitable and very personable. Whenever my mother is in town she LOVE coming here simply to see her and enjoy their food. I get a huge greeting every time I walk in the door and she always asks how my mom and wife are doing when I'm by myself. I truly feel like an honored guest whenever I dine here. If I'm being real, there are a few menu items that are a miss for me (such as the calamari), but overall I enjoy their menu of family recipes very much. She is Vietnamese while he is Thai, which is reflected in their menu. Enjoy! PS - I had to search for and upload a few pics from my computer files that I've taken over the years. Still can't believe I've never posted a review or pictures. You ever have that happen to you?

We had lunch at Hu Tieu My Tho today and I thought the food was delicious. When it comes to…read moreVietnamese food in metro Atlanta, I think this restaurant is among the better options and my Asian/Vietnamese foodie friends generally agree. Where this place lacks - at least in our experience today - is in service and ambiance (even by casual Vietnamese restaurant standards). Hu Tieu My Tho opened in October 2019 and is located in the popular Hong Kong Supermarket shopping center on Jimmy Carter Blvd, near I-85 exit 99. Locals know this as the hub for the Vietnamese community in Atlanta. On weekends and holidays, it can get crowded. The restaurant name comes from the Vietnamese dish "hu tieu," which is a clear rice noodle dish, and "My Tho," which is the specific southern city in Vietnam where this style of cuisine was perfected. This is not a pho restaurant. Instead, this place specializes in both hu tieu and "mi" (egg noodles) as well as other dishes like Vietnamese steak and eggs. It's fairly unique, which is a big part of the draw and appeal. Here's what three of us had: A1. Goi Cuon (2 for $5.50) x2 - spring rolls with shrimp and pork A3. Cha Gio (2 for $5.25) - fried egg rolls D15. Ca Phe Sua Da ($5.99) - Vietnamese coffee H3. Hu Tieu My Tho Dac Biet ($15.50) - House Special Rice Noodle Soup - char siu, crab, fish ball, pork liver, pork heart, ground pork, quail eggs, bone-on pork shank H6. Hu Tieu Nam Vang ($14.50) - Phnom Penh-style Rice Noodle Soup - char siu, shrimp, pork liver, pork heart, ground pork, quail egg, squid H10. Hu Tieu Bo Kho ($14.99) - Beef Stew Rice Noodle Soup - round and flank beef, carrots M5. Mi Hoanh Thanh ($14.50) - Wonton with Egg Noodle Soup - char siu, wontons Everything was fresh and tasty. When it comes to the hu tieu, the restaurant gives you the option of soft or firm noodle texture. In addition, you can get dishes "dry" (no soup) or with soup. If it's your first time, you should try the traditional way with soup. I really like the variety of hu tieu and mi offered here; for example, my friend likes the Phnom Penh-style noodle soup, which is Cambodian. Overall, I found the food to be solid all around. After we were initially seated and served, the staff never checked on us again. I think this was partly because they were busy. I noticed at least two other tables having the same problem we did -- having to flag down a server. As for ambiance, seating was tight. I actually refrained from ordering an extra dish because of the lack of table space. And, while not uncommon for Vietnamese restaurants, multiple tables weren't immediately cleaned. Also, the men's restroom was dirty. I'd like to return and try one of the steak and egg dishes; for example S1. Chao Xiu Mai ($15.99), S2. Banh Mi Chao Dac Biet ($18.99), or S3. Chao Bo Steak / Bo Xao ($16.75).

She recommended that I try - Hu Tieu Nam Vang or the Hu Tieu My Tho - I got the dark chicken rice noodle. I did a to go order. If you online there is no translation for the menu so I went there for translation. The menus in the store have English description and the guy at the register was helpful in answering my questions. I ended up trying dark chicken noodle soup because I wasn't brave enough yet for intestines etc. I shared my order with my 9 year old and were very pleased. The broth was well seasoned. It had lots of flavor and it wasn't salty. I asked for some sauces and they gave it to me with my order. It was so good and filling. I will definitely be back to try more soups and other dishes. This place is located in the plaza of the Hong Kong supermarket. Parking was pretty simple but it was full. Inside was quiet and there were very nice Christmas decorations. It's a very casual place.

The noodles were soggy, and the broth was oily while somehow still lacking flavor. The rare steak had a mushy texture, and the meatballs were even worse. I almost always like meatballs, so for them to stand out in a bad way says a lot. They were soft, mushy, and just not enjoyable. The egg rolls were also disappointing. They weren't crispy and had no real crunch to them. The filling wasn't very flavorful either, making them taste stale and bland. The only positive thing I can say is that the staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming. The service was great, but unfortunately the food quality didn't come close to matching it. I won't be back.

The inside of the restaurant is very open and spacious with plenty of tables, best for parties of 2-6 but I am sure they could accommodate larger parties as well. Try the wings!
