PhoSaigon - BBQ rolls and Vegetable Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Authentic Vietnamese food. Friendly staff. The inside is a bit dark and could use some updating but it also adds to the charm. Great food, will come again read more

Really great flavors and top quality ingredients. The Vietnamese spring rolls where fairly typical in their composition but they where rolled super tight, which I found really enhanced the textural experience of the roll. The beef hotpot was full of flavor and I loved the crispy rice at the bottom of the bowl. The Pho was some of the best I have had. The Beef Tendon in the Pho was nice and tender, it must have simmered for hours. All the way around a very enjoyable experience, and I look forward to trying some of Pho Saigon's other offerings in the near future. read more

PhoSaigon - Mmmmm - Vietnamese Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Oh man....my newest favorite place! Close to home. Nice, nice, nice friendly service...and suuuuuuuuuch good food! We had the bbq pork summer rolls to start. No doubt the best I've had since I got to Kentucky. The peanut sauce is perfect. Then I got the Pork Curry. Wonderful flavor and a huge serving. My sister got the Seafood Hot Pot! Folks no joke....it's HOT! She spent half of my meal waiting on hers to cool down enough to eat it, but once she did....raved about how delicious it was! I'm not a fan of Pho but the servings are huge and come pretty quickly. We were here at lunchtime and although not in a hurry, we could have been in and out in plenty of time if we had to get back to work. Plenty of people going in and out and a party of 6 came in just before we left so we aren't the only ones that have caught on to this place. Try it. Theres a little something for everyone! read more

Both my husband and I love Vietnamese, but this was a bit of a letdown for us. He got a "hot pot" and the meat was SOOOO fatty, and though the description said crispy rice, there was only a tiny bit of rice and it was extremely mushy and wet. Also, all of his vegetables were obviously canned and slimy. I got pho and the "meatballs" were so very unappetizing just by the look of them. The vermicelli was extremely thick and the texture was off on them. Lastly, we decided to get an avocado smoothie because we were both really hungry still and you can't go wrong with a Vietnamese shake. Well, we were wrong. It was definitely not real--it tasted like some sort of artificial powder. The only plus of the meal was the peanut sauce that came with our spring rolls. read more

I had jonsein' for some Pho for a while, but was hesitant to visit Pho BC again. I heard about Pho Saigon from Yelp and decided to give it a shot this week. It was a little difficult to find, but it was tucked just back behind Dawson Chiropractic in Woodhill Shopping Center on New Circle Road. Upon walking in, I immediately noticed the cleanliness. Everything appeared to be in good shape and looked new. The seating area was spacious, although the walls were a little sparse. There were some TVs playing on mute and no music playing. But I wasn't here for the aesthetics. I orders the beef pho with seafood (p-19) and Coca-Cola and awaited my entree. They brought out a small boat-shaped ramekin filled with sprouts, cilantro, jalapeños, and a lime wedge to add to my pho as needed. There were also a variety of sauces available at the table (sriracha, sambal, fish sauce, soy sauce, etc) to use as needed as well. My entree came out pretty quickly. I'll concur with the other reviews... The broth here is very sweet, with a hint of fennel or anise, making a very faint flavor of licorice (but not in an unpleasant way... I hate actual licorice). Depending on the person, this flavor could either be sickeningly sweet or intoxicating. To me, it was the latter. I added some sambal for heat and just dug right in. While I wouldn't say the amount of seafood I got was overwhelming, it was adequate. To say that I enjoyed this meal would be an understatement. I just wish I had been able to visit when it was still wintertime... Nothing better on a nasty day than a bowl of hot soup. Walking on the sidewalk and 85°... That's an entirely different story. read more

I've eaten here many, many times and enjoy pho particularly during the cooler months. Delicious and comforting. A dish I used to order regularly was the vermicelli and chargrilled pork. Originally, the meal was served with slices of tender, recognizable pork. Of late, the meat is chunky and gristly. I hesitate to order it again. I regret that corners have been cut. On the upside, they carry Japanese beer. read more

The food is truly worth putting up with the poor service. As long as you're not in a hurry I recommend eating here. The people aren't rude they just do things in their own time and way. I still highly recommend. Just make sure you aren't in a rush so you can relax and enjoy. Or just order take out! read more

I never had Pho before. But this stuff is amazing!!! I love this restaurant! It's a super clean and the service is nice! When I find something as amazing as this, I have to tell everyone... That's why I'm writing this review! I have since become a "regular" :) read more

First time here. Very good restaurant food is very delicious and the variety is big. Overall experience was great. Definitely coming back to try more!!!!! read more

Overall I liked Pho Saigon enough to go back. I ordered the chicken pho. The broth was a tad sweet, which I didn't mind too much (I do expect more savory than sweet). The other people in my party did not care for the broth and say they will stick with their standby Pho BC Overall, I thought the food tasted fresh, and there are plenty of other dishes to try. The place was clean and the service was attentive. read more

Have only had the bubble tea but will be going back to try the food. The man working was super friendly and answered all my questions.

I love this place, spring rolls, pho, hot pots... oh my! Absolutely crave this stuff and wish I lived closer so I could have it more often.

This is one of my favorite places in Lexington. The servers are so nice and fast. The chicken soup is amazing!!! I love all the fresh basil, jalapeños, lime, and bean sprouts they bring to you with the soup. If it was closer I'm afraid I would eat here everyday read more

First and foremost your nostrils are assailed by the wonderful smell that Pho brings. All of the aromatics of the broth are present in the air. The staff is polite and attentive, They first brought me a very generous side plate ready to assemble a bowl of Pho to my taste. Upon delivery of the broth a deep face plunge into the bowl gives an even better appriciation for there craft. Star anise, fish sauce cinnamon, onion and ginger so lightly detected; added as good pho should be. I complimented the staff for their effort and was heartily given a welcome invitation to return at any time. Don't worry guys, I will be back! This is a special place in Lexington. read more

I love this place. It's fast, cheap, and great food. I always order the fresh spring rolls with the peanut dipping sauce when I go. It is delicious. I have ordered different bowls of Pho Bo but the seafood one is my favorite. The flavors are strong but not overwhelming. I let the jalapenos, cilantro, and other herbs soak in the soup for a good 5-7 minutes before eating. The flavor spreads into the meal quickly. I have not had a bad meal here. I would like to see them put up some sort of inner door because in the winter when someone walks in the cold hits the whole room. The service is always great and they are attentive. I usually go for lunch and the place is usually 3/4 full. read more

I got the steak Pho here and I would like to give 4.5 stars for this place since their broth was so good. They even had the fresh red chili which you need to ask for. The meat balls in the Pho soup were one of the best I have ever had so far. My boyfriend had the Bun Bo Hue which was ok. We'd give 3/5 for this soup read more

I've had the pleasure of dining here twice now. I love it! Everything I've ordered and sampled from my mates' meals has been perfect. The broth is good and the fish is perfectly cooked. The menu is so large enough that even picky eaters will find something tasty. The chef is so nice and friendly. He always stops by toward the end of the meal for a brief chat. Like he said "This food is healthy, delicious, and it's only $10!" Yeah, I'll be back. read more

Being a Portland,OR transplant where there are Pho places everywhere, I was excited to find this place. Walking in you would find yourself wondering if the food is any good because there is rarely ever more than 2 tables occupied. I'm gonna step out on a limb here and say it must be because people around here have no idea what Vietnamese food is or how delicious it is. There are 2 Pho places I have found since moving to Lexington. This one by far is the better of the 2. The service is great and the food is better. It's a quiet atmosphere and extremely clean!! read more

We ordered a spring roll, a pho and a hotpot. The spring roll tastes great. The pho tastes Ok, however the broth tastes a little bit awkward. Seems to me，the herbs added to the broth made it bitter. Hotpot tastes soso.I personally don't like it. read more

They get my order just how I like it no matter how complicated. Great food, very clean restaurant, great service!

Just discovered this gem tonight and we were pleased the moment we walked in the door. The dining room is open, clean, and smells wonderful. From start to finish, service was wonderful. The servers are friendly and attentive. Even the chef was out to talk to guests, give suggestions, and check on your dining experience. We tried the veggie spring rolls, thai tea, pho, and pork bun. The pho's broth was outstanding-very flavorful-seems like they add something a little extra from a normal pho broth. The pork bun came at the chef's recommendation. It was a mixed bowl of vermicilli, vegetables, pork, nuts, lettuce and a special, sweet but light broth/sauce to pour on top. DELICIOUS! We will definitely be going back to Pho Saigon. read more

Wow this place was fabulous! The staff were super friendly and the menu was extensive. Above all, though, is that the food was really worth it. From the bbq pork spring rolls to the Vietnamese pancakes to the sauteed chicken and vermicelli... everything was delicious and fresh. This place will accommodate just about any diet or food sensitivity. I'm making this a new regular spot for lunch/dinner! read more

After a day filled with Cajun food, I decided to back off with a simple pho soup and some spring rolls. Well, this hit the spot without going over board. I loved the simple spring rolls with peanut dipping sauce. The vegetarian pho was perfect with plenty of bok choi as well as brocolli, carrots, etc. The service fast and the soup was piping hot too. My wife probably would be a better critic for authenticity since she is Vietnamese. However, I found this to be really good being Chinese. Plus, I noticed some other Asian customers so that was a sign to be that this place was pretty decent too. read more

Best beef pho I've ever tasted. The broth is rich and perfectly seasoned and the portions are filling to say the least! The location leaves something to be desired, but if they keep up the quality of food, customers won't think twice about coming here. The music selection is perfect and I'm happy to finally see a Vietnamese restaurant that isn't blasting top 40 songs, but instead classical and more traditional tones to set the mood. This place is a must try! read more

This is my favorite pho place! I love getting the beef flank pho and Thai iced tea. The owner such a nice man and always recognizes me. Pho is the only thing I've tried here - it's what they do best! read more

To be honest I have to say the owner I met was a super nice man. I tried a few of the dishes and just don't like the cuisine. I wish him the best! read more

My husband and I come to this establishment frequently. We enjoy the food and the service is friendly and fast, but quality of the food is incomparable to places that eaten in Chicago. My husband has many of the Pho here and his absolute favorite is the seafood Pho. I get the noodle entree. They have there own version of Pai Thai that is outstanding. I highly recommend this place! read more

Stopped here after a long road trip. Pho was good, however, 3 stars because service was slow. We didn't receive any refill on our water or pop. Waitress forgot to bring out one of our appetizers. Owner is extremely nice though. Would return if we're ever driving through KY. read more

Food was good except that they didn't took my order properly and I got summer roll instead of spring roll. Flavorful food.

This is my boyfriends favorite place for pho, so we come here often! Lots of options, can't go wrong. Nice, quiet environ

Although I'd rather have my mom's cooking, this place is good for mass production. I love that it is authentic Vietnamese food. Please learn to pronounce it correctly.... fuh..... read more

Disclosure: I was a Pho first timer! Seating was comfortable and everything was VERY clean! Table was neatly set with everything we needed. Now on to the food. The Shrimp Fry appetizer was 4 fried shrimp with dipping sauce. Crispy, not oily at all and very tasty. I got the seafood Pho. I also ordered "something hot to add to it" , since it has a heat level of zero. The chef came out to make sure I was up for the real heat then brought an awesome chili sauce with chili oil on top! AMAZING! My lips were burning and my sinuses cleared right up. I loved it. All the ingredients were fresh and well made. My only criticism is that my seafood was a bit over cooked. My husband got the beef stew. It was hearty, tender meat, perfectly cooked veggies and noodles. He also turned up the heat for a delicious flavor combination. Overall, it was a great experience. Friendly staff, fresh food, clean environment. Can't wait to return. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! I always get P-11. We go for the following reasons: 1) hungry, 2) in need of comfort food, and 3) sick and in need of healing. A bowl of steaming pho, made spicy with the accompanying sauce, sriracha, and jalapenos, is a great way to open those sinuses and heal the sore throat. I have been there more times than I can count and will keep coming back. read more

Decent chicken pho. To the point, quick customer service. I often go here myself and the place is usually half full during peak hours. They pack take out really well, with the veggies/meat and the noodles all packed separately and even pack the main flavoring sauces in little plastic cups. My weekly pho pleasure after moving to Lexington. read more

After being temporary close down from an accident apparently somebody thought that there was a drive-thru restaurant and crashed their car into the front of the store Front Pho Saigon lives and the food is still as wonderful as ever. Complex drops combined with excellently grilled Meats and beautiful presentation. The owners are gracious and helpful don't miss out if you love Pho. read more

Well this was my first attempt at pho. I was surprised how much enjoyed it. It was delicious. Bowls were massive and tasty. The side plate of stuff to add were weird until someone explained what it was I was supposed to do with it. Frankly I don't eat much in the way of soups during the summer but this will be a frequent stop during the winter. read more
