The food was good and the spring rolls were crunchy and up to my high spring roll standard. The pho was warm and hit the spot. The service was fine and decor too but that's not really a big deal in my opinion. it was slightly pricier the pho near there but still delicious. read more

Pho Saigon is a no nonsense great taste and great value with basic ambiance. Hard to beat for quick and good.

Hands down the best Pho in the city. I've had many other dishes here which are also just average but I keep going back for the Pho. The service is incredibly fast and friendly. Dining in is just ok, the inside would benefit from a major facelift. Overcrowded quickly when busy and the cash area is a disaster but I can ignore that for the great food. read more

Undiscovered treat. It's a mom & pop place in a mall near the Hanlon Expressway. Excellent food. Friendly service. Strictly formica table ambiance but clean and welcoming. Surprisingly extensive menu. Lots of adventures to try out. read more

Pho Saigon - a bowl of noodles with meat and vegetables - Vietnamese Near Me - Guelph, Ontario

Large portions, delicious food, excellent service, low prices, ample parking, and free wifi. I read one review that said that they were a bit hungry after eating a large pho, I think that they're nuts. The large pho is likely close to half a gallon, and I struggled to finish it. I only finished it out of principle, not because anyone actually needs to eat that much. If you're still hungry after eating a large pho from this place, I'm curious to see what you look like. I have the house special, and was amazed at how tender all the cuts of meat, especially the tripe and tendon, were. Plenty of meat and noodles, and a nice amount of basil and sprouts. Bookmarking this place for future visits. read more

Pho Saigon - Waiting for my pho on a frigid day. - Vietnamese Near Me - Guelph, Ontario

Pleasant and friendly owners and delicious eats at a good price point. They tend to get so busy at lunch hour so I usually order and pickup. My absolutely favourite dish is E2 (Seafood chow mein) coupled with an avocado shake. Yum! Ridiculously delicious! I also placed a large order for frozen spring rolls and they were kind enough to accommodate (other places I called would not sell frozen spring rolls). I buy them frozen in bulk so I can cook them fresh myself for gatherings. Highly recommend! read more

Pho Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Guelph, Ontario

Decent Vietnamese restaurant but nothing really blew me out of the water. Decor was definitely okay for me - I've seen a lot worse! Plus, Pho Saigon seemed very clean on the outside and was very spacious. Ordered their rice dish with chicken, pork chop and cha trung (Vietnamese pork omelette). The chicken and pork chop tasted fine but were overcooked and chewy. Yet I have to say their chap trung was pretty good! Service was okay. Although I wouldn't go so far as to say they can't compete, I highly doubt that they would do as well if they were in Toronto. Next time in Guelph, I'll try another Asian restaurant to compare. read more

Had a hankering for Vietnamese and this was the closest one to us at the time. The husband and I went in a little before closing (whoops - sorry!) and they were still very welcoming. There were a few people already there, so it was a good sign. It also looked like there were more people before we came in since there were dirty dishes sitting on some of the tables.. Wasn't totally pleasant to look at, but it was the end of the night and there was one guy running around, so I guess he was trying to keep up between tables... We ordered the fresh shrimp rolls to start, I ordered the Pho tai nam and the hubby ordered the pho with chicken. The shrimp rolls were okay. I wasn't a fan that they were mostly lettuce and bean sprouts.. The peanut sauce was really good, but the shrimp rolls were disappointing. Both pho bowls were good for what you expect of a pho place - nothing totally wowed is. The small bowl is a good serving size if you're not that hungry. They jump from small to large with their serving of Pho - there's no in between. The one thing I can say that I really appreciated about this place was the young server who was running around trying to clean the messy tables and serve the others, was in between serving in cleaning, he always made it a point to wash his hands! I was totally impressed. Overall, it be a debate if we'd go back... I mean, maybe if it were similar circumstances (being close by), but otherwise we wouldn't go out of our way. read more

Possibly my new favourite Vietnamese spot in Guelph. Quick and friendly service, tasty food and good portion to price ratio. I came here because of the yelp reviews and was not disappointed. Pho Saigon won't blow you away, that's why I rate it 4 stars. But it seems dependable and checks all the boxes so I am down. I had the bbq pork and spring roll vermicelli as well as the shrimp rolls with peanut sauce. Both tasted very fresh and were portioned well. I also got a pot of green tea and wasn't charged for it. read more

Pho Saigon - Shrimp Rolls, peanut sauce was a little fish saucy but rolls were very fresh and tasty. - Vietnamese Near Me - Guelph, Ontario

Hi, When I was a child my family took care of the culture and flavours of Vietnam. Pho Saigon made food that tasted like home. They made boba drinks for me and my bros. Since they had new workers there they weren't the best. It was too thick to drink. The staffs are very friendly and you probably need some patients with their ability to speak English. The interior could need some cleaning but otherwise, it's like home. The flours are fantastic. Recommend it. Enjoy. read more

Heavily influenced by yelp reviews to come here over other restaurants in the vicinity (Ben Thanh, Soora, etc.) The interior was a little roomier than expected, but still had that asian family-owned diner feel - down to the thin layer of stickiness coating every surface that I wasn't sure if it was grease or my sunscreen. We were pleasantly welcomed by a strong scent of basil and yummy soup though. Food buddy and I were starrrving and decided to order an appetizer to share (shrimp spring rolls) as well as a bowl of pho each. She got a large and I a small (saving room for dessert elsewhere) just to compare the difference in sizes. Within 3 minutes of giving in our self-written order sheet it seems, our shrimp rolls arrived! Bonus points for efficiency. They came with a peanut-sprinkled thick dipping and were quickly gobbled down, despite falling apart since the only binding ingredient was the rice paper wrapping. Soon afterwards, our steaming pho bowls arrived - she had gotten the default order of a-bit-of-everything in her soup, and I chose beef & tendon & something else I don't remember... Maybe it's because I've gotten used to the tastes of pho in the GTA, but I didn't find the broth/noodles as flavourful. The taste was still there, but with a much muted saltiness - good for lowering our sodium intake I guess - and better enjoyed as an aftertaste. I smothered hoisin sauce over every bite anyway, due to my mild addiction to the sweetness. We were both disappointed with the amount of STUFF in our bowls though. Aside from several slices of beef covering the ball of noodles underneath, there were literally 2 pieces of tendon in my entire bowl (I'm pretty sure I ordered 3 additions but whatever the 3rd one was, it never showed up). My poor friend had 1 piece of tripe, 1 small chunk of tendon, and half a meatball. Good thing that we were both too hungry to care and just enjoyed whatever we could fish out from the bottom. Overall conclusion: For $7, satisfactory pho with weak broth and meagre ingredients; wouldn't come out of my way again when there are tastier places like Golden Turtle and Viet Thai Restaurant around my neighbourhood. Or maybe I'm just being picky for a place like Guelph. read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for an authentic Vietnamese pho restaurant in Guelph when we came across Pho Saigon. Decent sized restaurant, open space, smells amazing, and quick service. Food: We ordered a P8(S) - rare beef and beef ball for $7.00 and a P1(L) - house special with rare beef, beef ball, tendon, tripe, beef flank for $8.00. The food came out within 7-8 minutes. The large bowl was not much bigger than a small. We both found ourselves still a little bit hungry. There was not much meat (my P8 small had 1 beef ball cut in half and 5 slices of beef). Tons of noodles and an okay amount of broth. The broth wasn't watered down and had lots of flavour. Service was average. Expected at most Asian restaurants you go to. Overall, I would come back if I'm in the area since it's quick service and the food is decent. read more

Pho Saigon is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the world. When I lived in Guelph I ate here on a weekly basis; when I worked down the road from this place it was my daily lunch haunt. The soups are tasty and flavorful and the noodles are yum. If I move back to Canada this restaurant would give me a compelling reason to come back to Guelph. (OK, I'm kidding about the last part. Almost.) read more

This was the first place I visited in Guelph because my dad and I wanted something warm and quick. I ordered a bowl of pho with tendon and beef and my dad got the my tho noodles. It took about ten minutes to come out. The noodles were good but the amount of meat in our bowls were very meager. I had two pieces each of tendon and beef and my dad's seafood bowl barely had anything in it aside from noodles. The broth was okay...but you could tell there was msg in it as we were both extremely thirsty afterwards. Will have to come back and try the non soup based dishes. I haven't tried any other pho places so I can't say if this is the best pho Guelph has to offer but it seems pretty legit. It did it's trick in tying us over. read more

Dad told me this place has been around since he was in university in the 1980s. Finally got a chance to come try it out. I believe that this is the cheapest pho place in Guelph. $9 for a large bowl of pho. $4.50 for 2 spring rolls fresh or fried. The taste is pretty decent. Spring rolls came out 1 min after we placed our order. The bun bo hue was ok. They kinda just put the spring shrimp paste in the regular soup and called it that. It was still decent but I prefer it at my regular. Definitely the place to go if you want a bowl of pho but also don't want to pay $15 (tips and tax). read more

This is my absolute favourite pho joint. I have experienced the majority of pho in Ottawa, and some in Toronto, along with other pho places in Ontario. After all this, I can say Pho Saigon is my favourite. The portions, the price, the value, the service, the menu... Everything is spot on. The old vietnamese owner is a pleasure to talk too, and makes the broth over night from scratch. The smell is intoxicating. ive had several variations of their Pho, and vermicelli dishes, curry dishes, along with some shrimp dishes, and all the appetizers. All of it is reasonably price, and delicious. Unfortunately, I cannot remember all the individual vietnamese names. I don't suggest ordering the Pho as take-out, it comes disassembled, and if it sits for too long it looses its attraction to me. As for the vermicelli dishes, curry, and apps they are easy to take-out. I usually dont phone ahead if I am taking-out, it doesnt take very long to make my order. Hours: 11:30-8pm Monday-Saturday read more

The food was very good. The Decor is not but don't let that stop you. It was very busy with repeat customers. You can order food before you arrive. We will be going back again. read more

Delicious, fresh and light Pho. Generous portions of meat. Met my needs for a delicious bowl of soup on a cold Canadian evening.

Best Vietnamese in Guelph. I've tried them all and Pho Saigon has the freshest ingredients, best meat, friendly atmosphere. I'm here at least once a week. read more

This was the first time I ate here. For a small city, the food here was awesome. I ordered Bun Bo Hu and it was tasty. The broth was authentic and spicy. Don't be fooled by the decor of this place as hey I was there for the food. Would definitely come back and recommend this place. I will have to try Pho next time. When I eat at a new Vietnamese restaurant I always order Bun Bo Hu first because if they can't get that dish right ... the rest should just be mediocre. read more

Have been here for lunch a number of times and always enjoy it. Very basic decor with quite a large menu. Choose food by writing plate numbers on an order sheet. Very quick service, well priced, and good Vietnamese food. read more

This is the best Pho in Guelph! Might even be the best pho I've yet had in all of the GTA. that is high praise but honestly just the perfect balance of flavours, super hot and fresh and delicious. You can tell this is made from scratch and kept simmering all day. Takeout was prompt and polite and still wonderfully hot when I got it home. I will never go anywhere else. read more

Love Pho soup and go there on regular basis! And the pad thai is fantastic as well. Consistently good! One thing I find very important for a restaurant is that they deliver great taste and quality not only when they first open, but also after that. Pho Saigon has never disappointed me. Will go out of my way to go to this restaurant when I want to have pho soup. read more
