But after 10 min we were seated in the very busy restaurant. Earlier an elderly couple walked out and we had mentioned it was our first time to the restaurant. The said, you will not be disappointed. The restaurant is open and it was filled with chatter from the customers. Plenty of seating inside and very busy. We quickly got food. We were often checked on by the servers. We ordered fried and fresh spring rolls for appetizers. Our friends ordered pho. We ordered mixed fried rice (chicken, beef, shrimp), grilled pork with broken rice. I loved everything. Great flavors. While enjoying our dinner John, the owners son came to check on us and gave us instructions how to eat a couple of dishes we had ordered. John is a people person! Great attitude and hilarious! Thanks for keeping us entertained! Great food and atmosphere. We all voted that this was a great spot for some good food and customer service. Whenever we are in town from California.

Since my last review, this place has expanded into a restaurant with a formal dining area,…read moretransforming it from an already great takeout extravaganza to a place I'd bring my friends/family for a proper sit down meal. In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised by their growing menu and their willingness to better themselves by listening to Yelp feedback. You can really feel the spirit of home-cooking and the cozy atmosphere of a locally owned restaurant here. In the best way possible, service hasn't changed - it's still the same friendly owner greeting you with a smile and overall cheerful attitude. You can tell that they are actively growing as a restaurant and I can't help but want to cheer them on! Today, I had their banh mi pho with a side of Chinese donuts to dip into the pho broth. Absolutely delicious and great concept. My constructive feedback is if they can dial in their pho broth (which I already enjoy) to have more in-depth bone broth/spice flavor and less reliance on maybe the salty aspect. I'm excited to see the future of this establishment,

Visited Vietshack while in Tempe. The atmosphere was casual and fast-casual in style, and the…read moreservice was friendly and efficient. I really wanted to like this spot, especially as a fan of a well-balanced bánh mì. The sandwich was generous and good value, loaded with meat, but the execution didn't quite come together. The vegetables were tucked toward the back of the bun, making it hard to enjoy that classic balance in each bite. The mayo was far too heavy and the meat leaned overly sweet, which threw off the overall flavor. It also could have used more jalapeños and cilantro to bring some freshness and contrast. The bread was crispy, which was nice, but it was much larger in size and shape than a traditional baguette, leaning more toward a big roll than that light, airy texture you'd expect. Overall, good value but missed the mark on balance and authenticity for me. Saluti.

Hands down, this was the best ramen I've ever had. The flavors were rich, perfectly balanced, and…read moreclearly made with care. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. The menu offers everything from classic favorites to more unique, creative options -- so there's something for everyone. My daughter has celiac disease, and I was especially impressed that our server immediately understood what that meant. She confidently walked us through all the gluten-free options and made us feel completely comfortable ordering. That level of knowledge and care goes a long way. From the moment you walk in, you can tell how much thought has gone into the decor and atmosphere. It's inviting, detailed, and adds to the overall experience. We'll absolutely be recommending this place -- and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

What an amazing place. I am Vietnamese and it is hard for me to say a pho place is good, but this…read moreplace is great. The restaurant is small but open inside. It offers a lot of good options such as bun thit nuong, nem nuong, etc. The place is so busy that the server was running around the whole time but he was very attentive and nice to everyone. I ordered the Bun thit nuong special and it was so delicious with crispy egg roll, grilled pork, and a lot of veggie . It was a big bowl as well so you get your money worth here. Will I come back? Ofc I will definitely come back to visit when I am in town again. Definitely give it a try when you are around the area.

I'm honestly really disappointed with my experience at Saigon Jade. I'm still trying to figure out…read morewhat we paid for here. My aunt was served a bowl that was dirty on the outside (yes... the bowl, not just the table -- see the photo I attached). Not exactly appetizing... and she didn't eat it at all, it was completely untouched. We told the staff immediately, and instead of, I don't know.. like maybe apologizing or replacing it like a normal restaurant?.. They basically said it was our fault and still charged us for the untouched dish. So just to confirm: you can serve dirty dishes and still get paid? That is a interesting business model, I've never seen anything like it! Then they hit us with a 20% service fee, which is honestly kind of iconic considering the service was: * ignoring customers * denying what we clearly told them * and charging us anyway Like... thank you for the experience I guess??? And to top it off, after I actually ate there, I had the worst stomach ache and diarrhea. So NOT only do you pay for food you don't eat, you might also leave with a free health issue! LOVE THAT!!! As someone who is Vietnamese, this was just embarrassing. You expect better standards, better hospitality, and at the very least... clean bowls??? Overall, if you enjoy paying for untouched food, being gaslit, and risking your stomach, this is your place. Otherwise, I'd look for somewhere else to eat.

I've came to Saigon Jade a couple of times now and I have to say, this might be one of my go to pho…read morespots now. The first time I had it, I actually couldn't stop thinking about it because I was genuinely surprised with how good it was. I also noticed that they are very consistent with the taste of the broth. Usually when I get pho, the broth doesn't always taste the same but here at Saigon it does. The broth is very rich and savory. I also noticed they add a lot of noodles which I love but I also wish they added more broth. The meat is also very tender, I always go with the brisket and it always tastes great. I personally like my soup to have extra green onion, unfortunately if you do ask for extra there is a charge of $2. I also recommend the egg rolls, they're packed with flavor and honestly it's just a good appetizer to have before your pho. The restaurant itself is beautiful and very spacious. Every time I've gone there's never any wait. The service has also been great, I've had maybe 1 time where it wasn't as great but it was still good. The food always comes out fresh and very hot. Overall, I love this restaurant so much and I will continue coming back!

Another Arizona institution. Quite possibly the best date spot in the city. It's one of the places…read moreI recommend to out-of-towners. Honestly, truly: the whole menu is so well-executed so you can't go wrong. But if you want some good recommendations, don't skip the fried chicken wings, or the eggplant appy. The pad Thai is great. The somtum is good. Order the curry. The drinks are your typical sweet Thai drinks, but a Singha goes better with most Thai dishes anyway. The true charm of this restaurant is its staff as they are genuinely friendly, and very welcoming. Don't plan on walking in. As a matter of fact plan on going 1-2 weeks ahead so call in and make a reservation, then clear out your schedule.

There were 4 of us. Our server, Kassiddi, was fantastic, super attentive, knowledgable, helpful,…read morefriendly, we couldn't have asked for better, she was awesome. The ambience is super comfortable, easy, casual. But, it's *super* loud, like really, really loud. The 4 of us had to literally scream, top of our lungs, to hear each other, and these aren't big tables, it's tight in there, so you're very close together. We left with sore throats from yelling. It felt like "a relief" when we stepped out front. After 2 hours sitting in the wooden seats, my butt was also relieved to be getting up. Parking is ridiculous, it's a very thin one way driveway with *no way to turn around* when you reach the end - back it up! Super tiny parking lot. Food: the food was very good. We ordered 6-8 things for the 4 of us because all items are pretty small. Top section of the menu are called smaller items. They were. Items on the bottom section are bigger, but not big. For perspective, when the 4 of us split an item from the bottom "entree section" we each got 2-3 bites/forks-full. So a full entree for one person is 8-12 bites. All items tasted very good, clearly high quality, well curated and definitely unique to this restaurant. The steamed white rice was hot, steamy, moist and sticky, really good. The Panang Chicken was really good, different, creamy, dark, rich and smokey. I added pictures of the menu, inside, patio, bar and a few food items so you can see for yourself. Would I go back? I would because the service was great, visual atmosphere was comfortable, and food was high quality, but turning the music volume down at least 1/2 way from what we had would go a long way,... a looooong way, seriously. Increasing the portion size of menu entrees would also be an improvement since they're about the same price as larger portions elsewhere. And throw some cushions on those inside wooden benches, our butts will thank you. Overall this was a good first visit and I'd try Glai Baan again, hoping for the same great service, quality food and updates to the other items.

My only caveat -- and it's a small one -- is the rolling cart used to collect dishes in the dining room.

That said, this didn't detract from the great food or service, and I would absolutely return, and recommend this place.

Pretty legit pho spot in Chandler. Service was very…read morefriendly and fast. We got quite a variety. Pho Ga - was told this is normally served with beef broth but they offer chicken. I got chicken cause that's traditional for Pho Ga. It was pretty good but not the most flavorful. The noodles were also a little overcooked. There was almost an entire chicken breast in it, I could barely finish it. Overall it was good but could use some tweaking in the chicken broth. Bun rieu - My son liked it, ate the whole thing up. No complaints. Short rib pho - So much meat, the ribs were flavorful and tender, the broth was a little greasy and did not taste super fresh but overall my husband was still satisfied. I also got the Vietnamese ice coffee with condensed milk on the side. It was strong, delicious and traditional. There is plenty of seating and the restaurant is clean. If craving pho in Chandler, this place does the job.
