I'm have been going to Pho Sai Gon for a few years. I love the updates that they have done to the space recently. I always get a small beef pho with egg rolls. There is always enough for me to take half home for another meal. Even when it is busy, there is not a long wait. I would highly recommend Pho Sai Gon for all pho lovers!
Pho is one of my absolute favorite foods, especially when the temperature drops or I am not feeling my best. I swear it has magical healing powers. I've been to Pho Sai Gon a good amount of times. I've been a couple times more recently and noticed a few changes. It is cafeteria style as others mentioned. There is now a conveyor belt for dirty dishes to send to the back. Nice! There are pros and cons to me on the cafeteria style. I like being able to pick my seat and not having a server I feel like I can go solo and not feel awkward. I also like being able to grab whatever toppings (basil, sprouts, jalapeños etc) I want. Downside is sometimes there are a bunch of dirty tables and you have to clean the table yourself. I order the same thing every visit; I need to try more things. I always get the beef pho and egg rolls. The pho is solid 4/5 for me. I really like the egg rolls. They are perfectly crispy. Another plus for me is that there are pictures for all the menu items so you know what to expect. I will continue to frequent Pho Sai Gon. Definitely recommend giving it a try!
No frills good pho. I'm from SGV in SoCal and was close to Orange County as well, so I've had plenty of great pho, and was honestly worried that I wouldn't be able to get any in Kansas City. But my fears were overblown because this place is great! It's a cafeteria style seating - order pho at the front and pay, then choose and clean your own table. Then when your pho is ready you can collect it. You can get lemon, basil, bean sprouts, sriracha and hoisin sauce etc from the bar next to the counter. Workers were friendly! The price for a medium bowl was comparable or a couple dollars more to what I'd pay for a medium bowl in SoCal, but this bowl was more like a large! The portions of soup, noodles, and beef were all generous. It was a lot of food and I think I could get away with a small next time. The flavors were good - nice savory broth with balanced spices. The meat was good too, though one thing to note is that you cannot choose a specific cut of beef (like what I'm used to) it's a little of everything like rare beef, brisket, flank, and meatballs. If you're picky about meat cuts this may not be your place. Another thing to note is that they don't skim off the fat off the broth. This leads to a richer more delicious broth in my opinion but may not be for everyone. I'm coming back when I have my next pho craving - though I may try the vermicelli next!
I heard good things about Pho Saigon, and was excited to go here for dinner when visiting Overland Park, KS. It's a self serve model, so you place and pick up your order at the counter, then clean up your own table afterward. They have such a good variety of Viet dishes that not many Viet restaurants offer. However, we were all disappointed because our orders were lacking of the umami and authentic taste of Vietnamese dishes. What a bummer!
The bun Bo hue, the banh xeo, banh canh, and spring rolls were delish. Portion sizes were great! Will definitely be coming back!
The place itself is kind of a get in get out sort of vibe. So I wouldn't say date place unless you just want really good food and your date is OK with that. They have a station to get extra goodies for your food. Very functional. The staff are very kind and helpful. The food tho, that's the winner I had Bahn Mi which I've had before, but it was probably the best I've ever had. And I tried Cahn Bun for the first time and it was so delicious. The noodles kind of feel like noodles everything was so fresh.
Amazing food and service!!! Hong and his family are all so kind and caring. The food is always consistent and flavorful. The beef babn mi is so good, and their Beef Pho is better than most places in Seattle, WA! If you go you will NOT be disappointed! They also have a veggie bar which is much appreciated. They recently redid the interior and it looks so nice, very open and friendly. 10/10 for food and service!!
The food here is so fresh and the delicious. I absolutely loved the pork banh mi was the best I've had around here. Must try!
Amazing food, there's a menu with pictures of every dish. You pick out your own toppings. Came it quickly! Vegan friendly
Definitely satisfied my pho craving and also loved that they have a lot of authentic vietnamese dishes! Everything was mostly self service. It was nice to get my own herbs and beansprouts for my pho, thought that helped reduce waste. Tables were cleaned, other than that nothing really stood out ambiance wise. Hope to be back to try other things on the menu!
Kind of hidden spot on 148th ish and Metcalf, in between a car shop and a taekwondo gym, is a staple pho spot in Overland Park. This is my to go spot down south! Everything is pretty solid here and it's nice you can grab your own condiments to your liking. Their banh mi sandwiches are pretty good and best when dipped in some pho broth ;). But they do sell out before 5, so if you're wanting to make sure you get one I would call ahead to secure it! Their servings are a pretty decent size so if you order a large I would definitely make sure you're HUNGRY. I will say sometimes their pho broth is better on certain days than others, but still always pretty good consistently.
The banh xeo was really good. Huge potion for a good price. The pho is good as well. I didn't expect the large to be that big but it definitely is great to share! The com platter was good as well. Definitely fulfilling. Upon going in, it was kind of confusing. My husband and I are used to getting seated and served at our table, but this is like a cafeteria ordering style which is very smart and efficient of them to do. It makes things more simple and I really like that. The ambiance is very casual. Pick up food at the counter and self service. We would definitely come here again and recommend it to others!! read more

This is my second visit to this pho place in OP. I really loved the Banh mi I tried in my last visit. I ordered Beef pho & my friend ordered Fried chicken with rice. My friend really loved the fried chicken & rice he ordered. He was all excited about it. Beef broth in the pho was a bit salty and it didn't work out well for me. Wish I have ordered Banh mi again. ;) Not a lot to talk about service. You have to take what you need. Ambiance was neat and clean. Fried chicken with rice - 4/5 Beef pho - 3/5 read more

A friend recommended Pho Sai Gon to me on my hunt for more authentic Vietnamese dishes. First, I was a bit confused by the setup, and there wasn't a sign or anyone to help explain. You order at the counter, take a buzzer, and come back to pick up your food. There's also water, a veggie station, and condiments that you serve yourself; and a rack for your dirty dishes afterward. I haven't seen a VN restaurant set up this way before, but I can't say I minded it. It was certainly efficient. First, this is the first place I've found in the KC area where my dad actually liked the pho. Having a place to bring my parents when they visit is a must. I was also happy to see banh xeo and banh cuon on the menu! Both were good, in my opinion, but I thought it odd that the banh xeo used chicken instead of shrimp and pork. It was still good, just different. read more
Updated review: 3.5 stars overall. I like that they had a toppings bar. I'd come to try some other dishes. Order at the register, pick up when your name is called, and self-bus your dishes. Banh mi: The baguette was mediocre, but I wasn't expecting much. The banh mi here has the variation of soy sauce (tasted like Maggi's; if you know, you know) and char siu, neither of which I like. I'd recommend it if you like salty, savory flavors, but I prefer a more classic banh mi. Weirdly, the jalapenos in my sandwich were not spicy at all, when normally even any sign of jalapeno is enough to make me need water. Beef pho: Decent pho I'd come back for, but it was a little heavy on the cinnamon/cardamom (?) flavor. It didn't have a heavy powder residue at the bottom like you get with instant pho mixes, so it's better than I've tried in Kansas City. Egg rolls: Not great. It had a similar flavor to good egg rolls, but the inside was so mushy you couldn't really tell what the ingredients were. Banh da lon/layer cake: Something about this tasted a little off, almost grassy. There wasn't enough pandan/coconut flavor either. Still, I was happy to see this on the menu. read more

Food: One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in KC! The eggrolls have a good amount of meat, the veggies are fresh, and the banh cuon is flavorful. Service: it's self-serve. IMO it's great because you can get your sauce and veggies at the service bar. Ambiance: there always seems to be a steady flow of customers throughout the day. read more

Amazing veggie pho and very caring staff. I called in an order 16 minutes prior to closing. The very sweet counter person told me to eat my food in person as it would taste better. The owner, Jennifer, came out to thank me. I felt bad for being there so close to closing time and they made me feel like family. I will definitely be back any time I'm in KC. read more
This place deserves more business! It is an authentic Vietnamese mom and pop shop with amazing food. I got the banh xeo and it was delicious! I just wish it had more of the meat/shrimp filling. The nuoc mam was a bit bland. The banh xeo itself was large with crispy sides. The bun bo hue was authentic and has a unique spice to it. They have a filling station with all of the condiments which are self serve. You order and get your food at the counter. Please give this place a try next time you're in the area! read more

I was pleasantly surprised to see the remodeled layout of this restaurant. The space feels a lot more spacious and upgraded. The food and service is also consistently good. Highly recommend if you are looking for a casual sit down meal! read more

Pho Sai Gon is a welcomed addition to this part of town. They offer a wide variety of meticulously prepared Vietnamese cuisine. Whenever I'm craving something Vietnamese this is the first place I think of. Their portions are generous and the details of each dish makes me appreciate this place even more. Even when I just want a snack I always seem to have some left over. Some items that I frequently get are the Pho, Banh Mi, Spring Rolls, egg rolls, Bun Bo Hue, Bun Rieu. They always seem to be busy when I come in and have consistently been serving up great food since I've been a customer for the last couple of years. I hope they continue to keep up the great work! read more
This place is actually one of those hole in the wall places you keep hearing about. Super authentic food with quick food and friendly service. We've gone here several times already and I'm just now getting to writing a review. It's a really great place to get your Vietnamese food cravings. In this particular visit, we got some Bun Bo Hue, rice with meat, and Bun Dac Biet. The bun was superb as always. The rice with meat was really good and the meat was sweet. The Bun Bo Hue was amazing as well, but just as a personal preference I would have liked it to be a bit more concentrated. This was a huge portion though (I got the large). Still, it's a solid place that is consistent in their service and a regular place that we go to. Highly recommend! read more
