Delicious authentic Thai and Vietnamese food, fresh, quick service, friendly staff. It's a perfect spot if you're craving anything from pho to their stir fry or even a bánh mì gà sandwich. read more

I had been weary to try this place after they'd FINALLY moved from their OG location in the mall. I was literally heartbroken when they "closed down" aka gone on hiatus, as I had been going to pho saigon since i was little. I'm very late to trying their location in the food court, but I'm glad I did. I was pleasantly surprised. Everything I ordered (I shared), exceeded my expectations. The pho was great, the Vietnamese sandwich fulfilled my craving, and the papaya salad had the perfect kick of flavor and spice. Definitely coming back. read more

Pho Saigon - Thai Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Wonton soup here is the best I've ever had, You can really tell the veggies are fresh! The beef pho is pretty bomb too! Service is good as well, never waited too long to order or pickup, you can also order ahead and pickup on door-dash! read more

After reading so many good reviews about Pho Saigon, I can't supress my disappointment. Back in Jersey, there were two Vietnamese places in town where I could get incredible pho, with densely flavorful broth in enormous portions for half the price. So yeah, this is Alaska, I yeah I expect to pay more. But $10 for a medium sized bowl of pho with 7 dinky pieces of meat in it just hurts. I could forgive the chintzy meat if the pho broth actually had FLAVOR, but have mercy it was just bland. The only saving grace is the AMPLE selection of condiments of the table. No doubt it was the best selection of condiments I've ever seen at a Vietnamese restaurant. Other things that irked me: ambiance and service. It's a mall... but again, back home, my ghetto mall had a Vietnamese restaurant that still managed to be clean, brightly lit and slick. Pho Saigon is dingy and makes no effort to be stylish. No doublt, I would forgive this if the food blew me away. The service was also awful. The girl at the desk was a b*tch. I mean seriously NOT NICE. And not only was she not nice, but the other staff (who were nice) didn't communicate very well with each other or the customers. There were a number of customers looking a bit frustrated. On the plus side, my pho wasn't horrible and didn't have anything gross in it. But it certainly wasn't good. And my honey's fried rice was the best I've ever had anywhere. Too bad the portion was miniscule. $10 for a plate of rice that would have barely satisfied me. There's something wrong with that. The thai tea was excellent. The hot tea had tons tea leaves in it and no strainer. So despite the really excellent rice, my overall rating can't go above 2 1/2 stars. Only as an act of desperation, or if someone else was paying, would I consider going back. read more

Brand new to the dimond center food court, I didn't even see it for weeks (opened 6 weeks ago). Friendly staff, food service a bit slow for the food court but they make the food to order so it's good and fresh. Ordered combination pho to go and it took about 10 minutes (again, not bad, just slow for food court food). They gave a generous amount of pho that filled up a large bowl once I got home. Broth and noodles were good and I liked that they served the broth to go separate from the noodles and dressings giving me more to take home. I'd definitely come here again, just not on a lunch break- go when you have time to wait or call ahead. Can't wait to try the calamari (I have to try calamari everywhere haha). read more

I am a bun Bo hue addict. Regular pho just isn't spicy or interesting enough for me and unfortunately bun Bo hue is not a ubiquitous dish. I had nearly given up home in Anchorage until I decided to give this spicy pho dish a try. OmG it knocks your taste buds out the park! The broth is rich, the spice is perfect, the noodles were cooked perfectly. There is no pork blood or anything fancy about the meats, but this will satisfy your bunbohue craving. It also helps that its conveniently located at the mall and its fast. I've never eaten pho at a food court but by golly they did it right! read more

I was a little worried as YELP led me to the mall food court & when I asked the cashier her favorite dish she said the chicken sandwich was the best. Well, I passed on her recommendation and opted for fresh spring rolls and shrimp pho. DELIGHTFUL is all I can say! Very flavorful and fresh tasting, coupled with GREAT people watching! Thank you mall rats for keeping me entertained while I sup my broth! I'll be back, but next time I may wear my PJs and designer sneakers! read more

Best place I've tried in town for pho so far which is surprising since it's in a mall. 11$ is a good deal for Anchorage. Plenty of meat and noodles, rich pho broth. Haven't tried anything else from there as of yet. Fast and friendly service! read more

Solid four stars from this gal. The place was bright and clean, the service was prompt and friendly, and the food was good. I had the combination fried rice that was yummy. The portion size was perfect for me (not ludicrously large). My hubby had pho and thought it was really good. The herbs they put on the table were really fresh which was a plus! It's a good place for kids; they have high chairs and booster seats available. Cons: a tad bit overpriced, but if you are already in the mall, definitely go check them out! read more

Pho Saigon - Updated seating. Looks nice! - Thai Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I can not recommend this place for grilled pork bahn mi lovers. Their pork sandwhich tastes more like an american pot roast sub . The strips of pork are thin and not char grilled like the norm. And they drench it with gravy that gives the pot roasty taste and feel to the whole thing. Plus no jalapenos were on my sandwhich. The summer rolls are top notch though. read more

The food is made to order, fast and fresh. I love the crispy noodles with pork.

Best Pho place in town. The broth is made perfectly and they are always happy to bring you an extra bowl if you want to share. Iced coffee and tea are always perfect, not too sweet or too strong. Service is quick even if it's busy. I tried the banh mi there for the first time and wasn't too impressed: the bread was stale. Only reason it's not five stars is the steak in the Pho is hit or miss. Sometimes is perfect and other times there's more fat and grisle them actual meat. I'm not exactly a chewy meat kind of carnivore. Only place we go to get Pho in town, definitely the best. read more

They have moved downstairs in the food court area of the Diamond mall, near the ice skating rink-tucked back into the corner. New location but same fresh ingredients and authentic menu. The service is top-notch and the Pho is well...super good. read more

The food was really good. The vegetables were really fresh and crisp (not like the Chinese restaurants in AK where everything is overcooked). The pho is great, the stir fry and stir fry noodles are my favorite. The stir fry is so good that I get regular cravings for it. Some of the downfalls were that it was very small place and the menu is so big that I get lost in the selections. I ordered curry on one occasion and it was super spicy (I ordered the spicy at level 1) and not very flavorful. Finally the prices are pretty high, the cheapest dish is $10, but then again this is Alaska and everything here is more expensive. read more

I was hesitant to go in here just because it was a mall restaurant. But some friends talked me and the wife into giving it a shot. Pleasantly surprised. The food was great! We had the Saigon Steak which was pretty good. Not to mention we drooled when we saw them carrying bowls of soup to other tables. Going to have to try that next! read more

I havent eaten here for YEARS!!! Just recently went here with a friend and tried their "Rare beef and tendon" pho. The tendon was so tender :) yumm... absolute favorite. Except pho bowl sizes can be confusing at times. read more

Great Asian food fix at good prices. I have been a loyal customer since Dimond Mall location. Servers are knowledgeable and nice. read more

I love this pho place. It was one of my favorites but now I'm in college. I came here with my parents and grandparents every week and sometimes more. The guy knew I liked the brisket pho. Something about it always left me satisfied. Their spring rolls was always good too. But hard to get that wrong. They're portions got smaller though I think and prices went up :( read more

The server was friendly and the food came out super fast! The service here Is was better than the east side location. The broth was watery, which I don't remember being the case when I was here a few years ago. I had to fix it up big time with the condiments. On the plus side, the veggies were tasty, plentiful and varied (unlike the eastside location). read more

Love this location! Much quicker and better then the muldoon location. Service is Awsome, seat yourself. They bring a menu right away. Soups come out fast. My most fav is the shrimp Noodle Pho! The broth is soo delishes! Put your sides and extra flavors in and BAM! Enjoy. My family and I eat here almost weekly. We have gotten an array of different items off the menu and have never been disappinted. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Anchorage! I could eat here every day without getting tired of it. Pros: Consistently well prepared fresh Vietnamese food. My favorite dishes are their vegetable stir fry or the lemongrass stir fry. Friendly quick service (although don't expect a lot of server attention after you've gotten your food) Prices are pretty good: usually entrees for under $10. Cons: Location in the mall isn't exactly beautiful or spacious. If you like Vietnamese food and if you don't care about a fancy ambiance, the food is definitely worth it. read more

I ordered the Pho Chicken and it was divine. I added mint and cilantro and the hot oil sauce sparingly. It was delicious and filling! All my friends said that I need to come here and they were right! Delicious! Lots of customers so I knew it was going to be good. The service was fast and friendly although the soda prices were high. I will be back! read more

Pho Saigon - Thai Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Located in the dead part of Dimond Center mall (over by Olive Garden) this place is a great spot for lunch. It is a small places with only 7 booths and three tables. they open at 11 and i saw people come in and out pick up their to go orders. I ordered a bowl of Pho with chicken, shrimp and imitation crab. All I can say it this is a true find! The food was hot and so good! I cannot stress how clean the place is. I saw other orders come out that were not Pho and they looked great. Around 11:30 people started coming in for lunch. The food is brought out fast and they are not constantly hanging over you asking if you are okay. Just a couple of nice checks. The price is average and worth it! read more

Went to the one at the food court. Very rude girl at the cash register and didn't even know their own menu. I asked for broccoli stir fry with beef. She rang it up as pho. I asked her if this was the rice plate and she claims I said pho. I asked her what number 73 is on their menu and she didn't even know where to look on the menu. I was about to have her refund my money back because of how nasty she acted towards me, but figured that she knew what I was ordering at that point. Got my food (to go, and I should have checked) and gave me broccoli and beef, stirred with fried rice and other peppers. Never going back to this location. read more

Pho Saigon - Broccoli stir fry. NOT! They do not know their own menu! - Thai Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I love love this place!!! My all time favorite pho restaurant! I have tried pho at various locations including San Diego, Portland, and Vegas an this place is the BEST!! I also have tried two other restaurants here in anchorage. What makes it so special is the broth... Their broth is so flavorful and light! I always get the: yellow and clear noodle combination soup!! So good! Add the black sweet sauce and red spicy sauce and it makes it so yummy!! Best Pho place!!! I go here at least twice a month! Haha read more

The spicy noodle soup was delicious and full of flavor. It could've been spicier, but i'm sure you could ask for more spice. Plus I like my food to be so spicy that I sweat, which I did a bit. But the spices and flavor were great. As well as all the beef and the cilantro, jalapenos, and the rest of the ingredients they or you put in. I got mine to go and it was ready inside of five minutes, more like three. It was a bowl of soup and box with the noodles and ingredients in it. Hot and delicious. It cost me $11 for the soup and that's about par for food in Anchorage and for pho in general. I'd highly recommend it togo or to sit in their place and eat. Most plates are about the same price, $10-$12. read more

Love love love this place. Nice to have something different at Dimond Mall. I spend a lot of time here because my daughter skates here. Meatball Pho is my fav. read more

I'm sad to give this a three, and that is primarily for inconsistant service. Sometimes you really don't know how long you need to sit there or to wait to ask for a refill. The other down side is being in the Dimond Mall. Can we talk about a place I dislike more? All that aside, the food is fantastic. Vietnamese food is fairly light anyways, but yum yum yum. The fresh rolls are served with hoisen, but you can get fish sauce instead if you prefer, the chicken salad noodle dish whose name I forgot is so good and filling without making you feel like the micheline guy. Also, any time I have a cold, I stop off for the chicken soup. It works like a charm. If you order thai coffee, they make it per cup so it takes a while, but it's good. If you order it hot, be aware that they do not have to go cups for warm drinks. This place gets fairly busy, especially with the asian crowd (that's a good sign too)/ read more

This was really my first intro to Viet food an dI was always satisfied when I went in the past. The fresh veggie accompaniments to the noodle soups were great and the vietnamese spring rolls were tasty too. I'm a fan. read more

I have always loved the Pho here, but the woman in the kitchen is insanely rude and apparently hates kids. I will not go back.

This has to be the best Pho place in Alaska. Boasting delicious coffee and tea drinks and one of the best Banh Mi i've ever had, this place is a real winner. The menu is kept simple, and posted(with pictures) above the counter. Being a big hit with the local Asian-American population obviously doesn't hurt it either. Very accomodating staff and conveniently located next to a rippie booth, this place is a sure shot stop anytime I go to the mall with my girlfriend. read more

Delicious pho. The vegetable is my favorite. Our family has tried several phos and other dishes and all were enjoyed. Broth is the best in town! Service is fast and pleasant, no high turn over in staff. Only complaint is there are often kids who watch their devices loudly (children of staff?) and that can be a little annoying while trying to have a conversation. To go orders are fast and easy with good portion sizes. read more

I love their beef pho with spingrolls, currently they are closed right now, which I am pretty bummed out about because this place is the best place I've ever had pho and spring rolls please open soon. read more

This restaurant has the best service. There food is delicious. I just feel like they need a little more space

This is my home place ! You guys will be seeing me here a lot again ! I love my family members ! They're the best ! Yes,my family members works here,LOL they practically own the store. read more

Bad service. Not so good food. I ordered their porkchop and it was very tough and salty. The Thai tea was too sweet and way too much half and half :(. The reason I say bad service is because when it was time to pay, it looks like one of the ladies only charged me $2.50 for the Thai tea. When one of the other ladies saw this (she's probably the owner), she started talking/yelling in Vietnamese to the other lady and I was charged $3.50 instead even tho it was already written on the order form thingy. I know it's only a dollar, but really? To raise your voice to your employee and talk in another language? Ya.. I'm not coming back here. read more

Great pho, the fried rice is the best I have had, and pretty much all the dishes our family has tried have tasted great. At various times it can be a little tricky to get a table, but we have never had to wait too long. The service is great and the staff is friendly. read more

Probably my favorite Vietnamese restaurant ever. Inexpensive yet flavorful, and nestled where you would lest expect it, in the corner of the mall. If I come back to Anchorage, this will be one of my first stops. read more

The food was a very good authentic mix of Vietnamese and Thai. I ate here at least 5 times during my two week stay in Anchorage and was never disappointed by the food. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars was the fact that my to-go order took forever. I think I would have been better off sitting down to eat rather than asking for an order to go. But the food was great and the people were nice. You can't get much better than that. read more
