    Was running errands and saw that the commons had a Pho place. I love a good bowl of Pho and haven't been able to enjoy it in a restaurant since last year. Popped in and grabbed a table and ordered the rare beef pho with a coke. My meal was in front of me within 5 minutes. Pho was hot and came with all the sides. The broth was very flavorful and there was lots of noodles and thin sliced beef. As I looked around I noticed that everyone's meals looked awesome. I'll have to order something new next time. I will definitely come here again.

    This supposed to be Tom yum soup...It smelled yuck and looks like a leftover soup  I didn't not eat it at all.

    I don't think I will order food from here again Their portion was way smaller and disappointing.

    I love PHO SAIGON! if you want authentic Vietnamese pho this is the place to go! I've been coming here religiously for three years and do not get tired of it. Their peanut sauce is not thick and is full of flavor! Their spring rolls we order them without veggies so it's nice that we were able to customize that. In terms of staff being non personal that's how my husband culture is. So I didn't take offense but husband is Vietnamese and more or less they keep to themselves. When I asked a question they answered quickly. The pho is deleted and fresh always ask for fresh veggies makes your bowl super flavorful.

    I've never been served curdled Tom yum gai from A Thai or Vietnamese restaurant. It was all watery and I'm very disappointed!!

    Curdled Tom yum gai! all watery!! Not happy ! I tried to ask the waitress about it and even walked up to the register and I was completely ignored!!

    The prices here are much better than other Pho in Anchorage. I would say this place is not the best pho by any means but isn't the worst. I believe the pho is lacking flavor in their broth, it is more watery with color than with taste. I tried the veggie pho and did like the veggies in the pho. The service was really good. I did however try to get the military discount and even tried to pull what Kent H. did with his driver's license and i mentioned that I was a veteran, but you have to be active duty and not a dependent to receive their discount. I would not come here again, just because their are so many other pho places to try and ones I would def choose over this mediocre cooking. I guess if your looking for pho close to base this is for you.

    Ok at best. The staff was non personal. The food was bland. I got the Panang chicken curry and my husband got the grilled pork banh mi. We eat Vietnamese food almost twice a week and the grilled pork wasn't what we were expecting/used to. There's usually some char on the meat but what we got was "juicy" as it in was drenched in whatever marinade/sauce they used which made the French bread soggy. The chicken curry wasn't as flavorful as other Curry's I've had in the area. Very watered down flavor and for $12 I expected more. Although convenient to JBER. I'll make the drive to a better restaurant next time.

    No complaints at all. I'm surprised I hadn't eaten here sooner! I was always skeptical but I am glad I gave it a chance when a friend suggested that we eat here. The place itself is conveniently located near lots of shopping opportunities. There's other great places to around here too. But give this place a try. The place itself is very small but they sure made good use of their space! It's nice because you don't feel like your crammed in there like a sardine....it's just right. But maybe I felt comfortable because I chose a booth. We arrived sometime around 3 or 4 pm (just before the dinner time rush). It was perfect timing. It was not too crowded. We were warmly welcomed by a gentleman with a welcoming smile; The kind that made you feel right at home and ready for some Pho! For this early dinner I ordered the Vegetable stir fry with shrimp. It comes with white rice. It tasted delicious. The stir fry sauce was not overpowering and really complimented the shrimp and veggies. I devoured the entire thing. I enjoyed my meal so much that by the time I remembered to post a picture for you I was almost finished...and no one wants to see that. So I owe you one! :-). We also ordered the egg rolls for the table. It comes with 4 pieces. They were crunchy and fresh! The sauce that accompanied it was flavorful but it was watery instead of saucy. It was still enjoyable, but with a group of friends it was hard to get sauce on the eggroll without it dripping and we weren't provided with small plates for sharing. I totally overlooked that though and was not a big deal, although I can see others having a problem with this. Also don't expect the waiter to ask how your food is. I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing but in my experience at other restaurants of this kind you don't really get the waiter coming to check on you every 10 min. Here, they let you be and I can appreciate that...but then again I didn't need anything. The prices were very reasonable. You can't beat $12 for a decent portion of stir fry with shrimp. I was very pleased with this. It was refreshing to see reasonable prices in Anchorage because I usually find myself paying $25 on a meal just for myself. This little place is packed with flavor and very good prices. I'm so glad I gave this place a try. I'm looking forward to trying some other items on the menu. Hopefully you'll have a good experience here too. Oh my goodness and as I read over my review I forgot to mention. Try their natural juices! Holy moly they are just fantastic! I had the carrot juice and it was just fantastic. They also have other fresh squeezed juices like pineapple and pineapple with orange, etc. There. I think I covered all the points ! :-)

Food doesn't come out as quick as other pho places but definitely worth the wait. Will visit again during my next trip! Staff is very friendly and a lot of space inside as well. FOOD: Lao Pork Sausage (8/10) - Can't find this in many places. Amazing!!! Super juicy, slightly salty sausage that pairs perfectly with the sauce and rice. Would get again! Pho Beef Combo (8/10) - Huge portion sizes for the price (superbowl). Amazing!! Broth and noodles are perfect Pho Tendon (7/10) - Also can't get this in many other places, but comes with so much tendon if you like it! Lao Fresh Rolls (6/10) - Solid spring rolls but the chicken is a little bit dry. I would get it again with only the shrimp. Shrimp Eggroll (5/10) - A fried shrimp in wonton wrapper, would skip this.

This one also had imitation krab, which is fine but not my favorite. The side dish of garnishes was kind of weak, just bean sprouts, lime and jalepenos. I wish it had cilantro. They must have been out of basil that day too, because we didn't get any with the pho. I want to find a seafood pho with fish cake or house made seafood balls. I think I maybe set my expectations a bit high since moving from Hawaii, every pho place there is a peak experience. My husband tried the beef brisket massaman curry which he thought was very watery and very light in the spice department, which he didn't like much. However our child loved her small kid size chicken pho and we all loved the mango smoothie. It's one of the most flavorful smoothies with perfectly thick blended consistency that you can still suck up the straw. Ambiance is kind of old, dank, dark, and dated but also holds some oddly charming quality nonetheless. Service was straight-forward. Special s/o to the man who welcomed us in, immediately fetched a high chair for our child, and then also helped me with my giant diaper bag which he didn't have to do but was very appreciated. I bet he's a dad.

We got the Combination Fried Rice, and it was the best freaking fried rice I've ever had. Not only was it flavorful, but it was also generous on the portions - both in the overall quantity and in the amount meat that they had. They didn't skimp on the amount or the flavor here. The Banh Xeo, even though it was supposed to be the main attraction, became kind of the side course. That's not to say it wasn't tasty, it was also delicious. But I think the main star of the show is their fried rice. Additionally had some Thai Iced Tea. And again, one of the best Thai Iced Teas I've ever had. Strong but tasty. It definitely kept me wired and wide awake for my wilderness drives. Didn't expect to find such a random gem when traveling to the Last Frontier.

I like their menu because it has a good variety, and the food is pretty solid overall. The dine-in service has generally been good, and the restaurant itself looks clean, modern, and comfortable.

Interior is modest, simple, and felt clean enough. Our table had hoisin sauce, sriracha and a pot of chili oil. There was oil on the underside of the pot of chili oil though, which was a cleanliness issue. Our family got the all shrimp fresh rolls, a seafood pho, a mixed beef pho and a small kid size chicken pho. We also tried the hazy IPA beers on tap. Notes on the food: the rolls were okay. The peanut sauce was a touch too thick and lacked dimension in flavor. Ingredients inside the rolls were fresh but would've been improved with a little mint, basil, or other fresh herb. Seafood pho was decent, but I longed for a fish ball, fish cake, or other item besides the imitation krab. I picked out the squid because it was too chewy. Our server was cheerful and pleasant, and parking was super easy just outside the front door. Might be back if in the area but I think will continue my pho search elsewhere next time that pho craving hits.
