I really like the grilled pork spring rolls but it's a little pricey for a Large size order of 4rolls and not enough sauce. The server was Ok. read more

Pho Saigon Oi - Vietnamese Near Me - North Springfield, Virginia

This restaurant has a 4.5 stars Yelp rating. I brought my wife here because the pictures and reviews looked very good. The food wasn't even close to 4.5 stars! It got 3 stars only because they are not as bad as Le Bledo Eatery which was rated at 2 stars. There were few people coming in on a Saturday evening!! Both dine-in and carryout totaled 5 orders while we were there for 80 minutes. That tells me a lot. Covid-19 spacing was easy because only 2 other customers were eating in the dining room the whole time we were there. Masks were required for everyone. Hand sanitizer was available.    We bought pho, grilled pork/shrimp with noodles, combination fried rice, chè thập cẩm + sầu riêng and lotus tea. The pho had eye round, brisket, flank, fatty brisket, soft tendon, tripe and beef balls. The meat and noodles were fine. The broth was weak with no depth of flavor. It was chicken broth. Look at the posted picture. I've had better tasting broth in canned soup! We ordered the P1 combo special which was supposed to be a beef noodle soup. I hope their beef broth is better. Only one restaurant's broth was worst than this, it was Le Bledo Eatery. Most of the basil and bean sprouts were starting to rot.  The ends of the bean sprouts were light brown and the basil leaves had plenty of black spots. It was unbelievably irresponsible to serve this!    The grilled pork and shrimp came with an egg roll, rice vermicelli noodles, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, cucumbers and sauce. The meat was cooked well. They were tender with a decent flavor. There was only 2 pieces of shrimp. The cucumbers and carrots were fresh (thank goodness), but the basil leaves were not. Look at the posted picture. The basil was dry and wilted. The bean sprouts were kind of limp. At least it wasn't brown yet. The sauce tasted good but not strong enough. There was only enough to flavor two thirds of the dish. The egg roll was crispy with a filling that was typical cabbage.    The combination fried rice had shrimp, chicken, onions, corn, peas, carrots and rice. It came with a cup of sauce. The sauce was essentially dark soy sauce. If flavor was behavior, this one would be very salty. Hope they didn't strain their brains dreaming up this sauce. How was the fried rice? If you google bland, you'll see a picture of this. The shrimp was the only thing with a normal flavor. The chicken and vegetables had little flavor. Amazing! How did they do that and why? There was no sauce in the dish. I guess the cup of sauce was it. We didn't use it at all because we decided none of this was worth eating. I did taste it again because I couldn't believe it was for real.     The chè thập cẩm + sầu riêng was a Vietnamese mixed sweet soup dessert made with coconut  milk, crushed ice, mung bean, red bean, red colored water chestnut, green jelly and durian. Looked it up online and one person said it was delicious. Wrong! Never get anything with durian in it. It can make you nauseated. Natural durian can smell like a mixture of rotten onions, turpentine and gym socks. This durian tasted like garlic with slightly sweeten caramel. When the soup got warmer, an unpleasant low level odor occurred inside the mouth while eating it. Now, I know what it feels like to eat a stinky gym sock with beans and coconut milk. Yummy.    The locust tea had a floral aroma and it tasted like green tea with a slight anise flavor. Unless you enjoy anise, you won't enjoy this tea. The anise was obvious, but not overbearing. We weren't loving it.    The restaurant name intrigued me. In Vietnamese, the word Oi is used to get the attention of a person in a nice way. It is equivalent to the word, Oh in English. For example, when you want the attention of someone you like, you call out, "Oh darling!" I surmise that the restaurant's name, Pho Saigon Oi, uses Oi as an attention getting postive expression of the word Oh. That reminded me of the movie, When Harry met Sally; where Meg Ryan said, "Oh" repeatedly to Billy Crystal while they were in the deli. Those were positive Ohs and it got lots of attention. In case you don't know what I'm writing about, a link to the movie clip is below. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b0OeM6UUAoI    This restaurant's rating is not useful as a current indicator of it's performance. It is littered with questionable reviews along with old reviews. The key to determining the usefulness of restaurant reviews is to notice how old they are, what details are provided and the type of photos provided. No photos means no proof that they were there. I didn't do a thorough job evaluating the reviews and we ended up with overpriced, middle of the road food with questionable quality and other problems. This restaurant probably had good cooks at one time, but the current group are in need of improvement. They should be required to eat the exact same type of food that they serve. The food might improve quickly. read more

Let's be honest, I overlooked this place at the beginning since people usually don't bother going to places too close to them. And, I almost made a mistake... Overall satisfaction: 9.5 / 10 Environment: - Bright and clean. Spacious. Every furniture here is newly replaced, so enjoy them as much as you can. The downside is, I really don't like the floor. It's too slippery because of the flooring material. No problem with sneakers, a bit of care if you wear flat shoes. But I guess that's only minus point that I can tell. Services: - Professional with some great sense of humor. Honestly I have experienced a lot of Viet restaurants where asking for a shrimp paste for Bun Bo Hue is like asking for gold or something. Here, whatever free add-ons you are asking for is going to be plenty. Any valid request is served from A to Z. And if anything wrong happens, they are willing to fix it with great care, as long as you are not trying to play around with them. Whenever I come, I always chill with a server named Bao. He is very funny yet whenever I need something, he never messes up my order/request. - Food and special requests are served in right time manner. This is standard, but I want to mention it once. Food taste/quality: - Outstanding, in 3 aspects: taste, portions, and variety. The top specialties include but not limited to: + Appetizer specialty: Grilled Pork Sausage Rolls. + 3 entree specialties here: Pho, Bun Bo Hue, and Mi Quang. Those are the ones I have tried and reviewed. You are more than welcome to explore the rest of the menu. How about portions: photos can tell better. I have attached the photo of an extra bowl of meatballs. Taste: pure natural. Most other Vietnamese restaurants make soups that rely too much on MSG. I'm not here to talk about its chemistry or its side effect, but I'm pretty sure a lot of people are MSG sensitive. You can easily notice the difference when you finish the entire soup paste. If MSG concentrated, I will feel cold in the back after 30 minutes of consumption. Here, none of the symptoms is applied, so you should be well-assured on it. Nevertheless, the soups don't trade off its flavor at all. A real quality and flavorful pho soup paste should be made mainly of beef marrow bones; the more bones the higher quality. If you are not a pho geek, examine the paste, and you can see the condensed layer of marrows within. Yet the price is still reasonable. I have attached the photo of Pho section below. Bonus: the restaurant does serve vegetarian dishes as well. It's a bit too long, but I hope it helps you select the right restaurant for weekends. Give Pho Saigon Oi a try!!! read more

This is a fantastic Pho spot! The service is fast and everyone who works here was nice and very helpful. It was fairly early on a Wednesday morning around 11am when we came. There were only maybe 3 other patrons but it began to pick up once lunch time hit. I ordered a regular pho with skirt steak. Very very flavorful. I enjoyed my meal so much. The beef was tender. The broth had tons of flavor! The noodles weren't mushy at all and had a great bite to them. I will for sure come back when I'm in the area to try more menu items. Please give this pho spot a try! read more

Wow, I was despairing of finding decent pho 'til I ate here! Flavorful tasty broth, meat (we had round steak and brisket), accompaniments. Yummy vermicelli, grilled pork and bean curd dish, soft tasty really fresh fresh rolls. There was some bone in the pork, which may have added to the flavor Everyone in the family enjoyed this place! Two flaws: not enough sauce with the fresh rolls, and hard to try anything new when we already love what we have ordered! Highly recommend :D read more

This is probably the best Vietnamese place we have ever had. Great service, excellent food, very affordable, great ambiance! Definitely coming back to try all their selection read more

Pho Saigon Oi - Fish pond in the making! My 2 year old daughter was mesmerized by this the whole time haha - Vietnamese Near Me - North Springfield, Virginia

Amazing food and friendly staff. My go-to is the Com Ga Roti and they never disappoint in making it. I've already done carry-out, and they don't skimp or anything on your meals. Overall, love the place and I do go out of my way to get here for some solid Vietnamese food. read more

I came here on a weekday evening with a friend. Neither of us had been to this place before or heard anything about it, but we were in the mood to try a new place on a whim. It was a nice and typical looking pho restaurant when we walked in. The service was excellent! The man who took our order was quick and attentive and came back and checked on us to see how we were liking our soups. At one point, he even came over because he saw we were drinking out of our water glasses thinking he had forgotten to give us straws (he hadn't...neither my friend or I really ever use straws). As for the food...it was fantastic! I ordered the Bun Bo Hue (H6). The broth was amazing and one of the best I have ever tasted. My friend ordered the chicken pho and he said it was as good as his favorite place (Pho Factory). This is one of my favorite Vietnamese places I have been to. Definitely will be back! read more

Pho Saigon Oi - Bun Bo Hue (H6)+added veggies and herbs - Vietnamese Near Me - North Springfield, Virginia

Bbh was awesome. Very flavorful and it has all the authentic stuff of bbh like the pig feet and blood cubes. Nem nuong and the sauce was awesome!!!!! Like how it is in California... Nuoc Mia was awesome and refreshing. Bun thit nuong- they're very generous in the meats. If you're carb eater, ask for extra noodles other than that it's my favorite dish. I will def come back and try their MI QUANG (was told it was good) Friendly staff, very open and clean space. read more

This is THE spot for sausage spring rolls (nem nuong cuon) when you don't want to go into Eden Center. The crispy crunch with flavorful sausage with fresh veggies wrapped in rice paper and dipped in the warm special orange sauce is oh so good! I can just eat a bunch of these for my meal. But I'll save room because the pho broth here is so clean and delicious. I don't even have to put hoisin sauce or sriracha in and it's so tasty. Give this place a try! read more

This place was highly recommended to me by my bf and I'm honestly thankful even though we only got takeout because the food was just that good. I've had bun bo hue from a few restaurants, but the broth here is just suuuper rich and packed full of flavor, so first impression was off to a good start. What is definitely now a new favorite of mine are the nem nuong rolls. They are just as flavorful, but have that same wonderful freshness you get from eating summer rolls, only with a sausage and fried egg roll wrapper rolled into it too. I no doubt would be able to make a meal out of just 4 rolls alone, not to mention the amazing sauce that comes with them. I will for sure be hitting this spot up again for both items, and to try other items on their menu as well. read more

I would give 3 stars for ONLY THE FOOD! Because they were delicious... However, one of the staffs was kind of rude, I would say. Today, in the afternoon, I came in with my father while the restaurant was empty with no customer, three staffs were chilling at the table. One guy told us to sit at a table, then he put the menu on the table in an impolite way, also the way he asked us what dish we'd like to eat. There were actually me and my father in the restaurant, but the service was so slow. Finally, they did not give us any receipt. We forgot to ask about the receipt and not a single staff did give us. We went home feeling confused about this place. My first time eating was no good at all! We wondered if we'd ever come back again! read more

Good little strip mall Vietnamese place. The food is pretty good but not great. The five stars are more for service and the fact that this place is great for kids. They have a large, colorful fish tank, kids cups, and scissors for noodles. Small vegetarian selection but they did it well. Clean fresh flavors. Will definitely be back. read more

Take out only due to Covid-19 my order was ready in less than 10 minutes, I can't rate the service but as soon as I paid the waitress walked away and started eating at a table with 3 other employees and I wanted to ask for extra sirrracha, however I just walked away. As soon as I got home I opened the bag to see that I had almost no broth! What little broth I did have left was bland and tasted watered down. I usually got to pho factory but I decided to give this place a try since I was in the area. I will it return. Also the brisket and the eye round steak was extremely dry. The noodles and the sides were good. read more

Great food and excellent service! The pho and the rolls were both very good. We spilled our iced coffee in the car when we left, so we stepped back inside the restaurant to get some napkins. As we were cleaning the coffee, the kind lady brought out a towel and a brand new iced coffee! If you like vietnamese food, try this place out; you wont regret it! read more

Ở đây ngon nhất là món Nem Cuốn....ngon gì đâu luôn...mỗi lần ghé là ăn lúc mấy phần...

I went back to this restaurant for the 3rd time and decided to write a review for them. 1. So far I have tried "Nem", pork rolls with special sauce and they were delicious. The rolls were even better than the one at Eden Center. I also tried "Pho", the chicken pho with tiny eggs and it was excellent and flavorful. Then "Bun Bo Hue", the spicy beef noddle soup, was very good. They deserve 5 stars for the food. 2. Customer services was fast and friendly, the manager came to our table to check on the food and talked to us. She even gave us 10% discount for being new customers. So 5 stars for customer services. I have heard the traditional "Mi Quang", the yellow noodle soup, supposed to be their signature dish. Will have to comeback to try this soon. read more

Had their BBh and Nem Nung... the best in town!!! Due to the pandemic we're limited out time out but definitely to get this nem nuong fix! Also has the BbH and I was surprised with how generous not only with their portions but with their variety of protein in it. It was delicious!! read more

Pho Saigon Oi - Nem nuong - Vietnamese Near Me - North Springfield, Virginia

GO GO GO!!!! I have been going to the Pho at this same location for over 5 years when it was called Pho Saigon Quan.. it was good but i mainly went because the distance was even better; it was the closest Pho to my home. Recently the ownership and business has changed to Saigon Oi and LET ME TELL YOU - it was a game changer. My husband and I moved and this place is now 40 minutes away from us. But we still call this our GO TO Pho. The owner, Tu is absolutely amazing and so professional. The ambience is a lot more vibrant and cleaner. All the servers are attentive and are so courteous. At other Pho locations, most employees are pretty rude and just bark at you while they take orders, but you can see the harmonious team effort from the employees and the owner herself here. I also really love that the owner and employees remember certain things: like the way i take my Pho, or when I ask for extra sate sauce for a to-go order. They already have it prepared!! I am impressed.. Everything about this place is upgraded 500%. The best part is the food!!! They have made me officially addicted to their location. Thank you and please don't ever go away! read more

I first have to say I fell in love with Vietnamese food as a child. My family was very close to a Vietnamese family and I fell in love to the cuisine and culture. Pho Saigon Oi brings be back to family gatherings and happy moments of my childhood. The quality of ingredients and the flavors of Pho caused us to do takeout here twice this week. And the egg rolls! I have never tasted an egg roll as good since I was about 6 years old. I never knew I was going to be able to have something so good again. I was wrong. Pho Saigon Oi is the real deal! I will definitely be ordering again and again and again. Best Vietnamese in the DMV. read more

My husband and I came here today and the food tastes great. I love trng gà non so I called Pho lòng gà trng gà non, I love the ginger fish sauce came with it, really tasty.

I would definitely come back and try all the foods on the menu they have especially Mì Qung. The picture looks good Come and try Pho SaiGon Oi yourself read more

One of our best favorite casual Vietnamese restaurants, the food has been consistently good and tasty.

One of the best experiences in the Pho restaurant. The menu is typical for this kind of eatery. Had Grilled Pork Sausage Summer roll and P1 Combo Special. Both were some of the best we've ever had. The place looks new, nice and clean. Definitely worth to come back for tasting more dishes. read more

Our go-to spot! Friendly service, and I was very impressed at the quality and the freshness of food here. My favorites are the nem nuong (if you haven't tried it you aren't living), fried chicken with rice, and soda chanh (lime soda). We come here at least twice a month now lol. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing nem nuong rolls. The best in the area if you ask me! I always order from here when we have parties. They are a bit pricey but def worth its. The sauce is amazing and compliments the rolls very well! read more

Love their Nem Nuong. I have tried different kind of food there but didn't like much because of the inconsistency sometimes the food was very good and sometimes the food was not good. I tried BBH, Pho, Mi Quang, Com Ga & Nem Nuong. However, I will come back to eat their Nem Nuong read more

I'm so glad there's another good Vietnamese restaurant nearby. Now I don't have to drive all the way to Eden Center for Nem Nuong or Mi Quang. Their Bun Bo Hue is not that tasty though. It's actually pretty bland to me. I'm excited to try more dishes here. So far, the food and service are good! read more

So after my review the owner reached out and explained what happened. Apparently dasher decided he wasn't going to deliver the remade items after the wrong one was picked up. DoorDash has so many problems if I didn't get a free pass from them from my cc company I wouldn't use them. Kudos to the owner for taking initiative. read more

Please check your bill before you pay, we were charged an extra 15-20% per item for dining in and an extra .50 for a to-go container. I felt like we were charged the Uber/Door dash price per item. Service and food isn't bad but nothing to rave about. read more

Fantastic spot for noodles and nem nớng (I think it's up there with SoCal's heralded Brodard). They seem to excel with Central Vietnamese classics like Bún bò Huế and Mì Quảng. Excellent service. Highly recommend. read more

I am a HUGE fan of pho. This new place is actually in the same location as a couple of other pho restaurants, but this is my favorite version for sure and I will be back. I am boring and always get the same thing: a Coke, summer rolls and large Tai Chin. Lots of meat, flavorful broth and super attentive service. I will definitely be back. There is a place much closer to my house, but this is worth the extra miles. If you like pho, this place may become your new favorite. read more

We saw them under hot and new on Yelp. They have one of my favorites Mi Quang - Pork, shrimp fish cake.. and 5 different varieties of Bun Bo Hue. Both soups were amongst the best examples in the DMV area. I especially liked that they left the shrimp paste on the table such that you could season to taste. We will definitely sample some of the other dishes on the menu. read more

you should be careful with the price on menu. That is different (lower than) from the price on your bill. Food is just ok, nothing special.
