Is this a Pad Thai you would eat? Besides being PHO NODDLE and not pad Thai one, There was a disgusting straight black hair inside my food. I tossed this food away so fast it costed me almost 50 dollars for both plates. Please DO NOT order from this place. The owner also lies to DoorDash delivery person saying the order was cancelled so they can keep the money. read more

Great pho, with fast service and always spot on. Very good value! Usually I get the house special and it never disappoints. The summer rolls are great. They have a large menu but I keep going back for the same ones. read more

I'm not from the area but I stopped by to charge my car nearby. The pho broth was good. But there was a lot of fat, honestly surprised that they would serve a bowl with that much fat on it. I also ordered the vietnamese coffee. The coffee was served in a styrofoam cup with no drip on top. Already a bad sign. It definitely tastes like powdered instant coffee which is kinda nuts to serve for $6 a cup.... The service and ambiance were both nothing to write home about. Overall, I wouldn't stop back even if I was charging my car and starving. read more

Ate here while charging my EV at the station in the plaza. Quick service, no frills but very tasty. Bathroom could've been cleaner. But overall no complaints, it's great for a quick pho or some summer rolls. read more

I have passed this Vietnamese restaurant a million times on my way on Christopher Columbus Blvd to Walmart or the IKEA in South Philly. Today, we braved the visit. The place was pretty dead for Christmas Eve day. The service was quick and without a smile (just the way I like it). We got a Vietnamese drip coffee with milk and a Bún bò Huế. That Vietnamese drip came in a styrofoam cup which felt very unhealthy to be served in. This coffee; however, was the best Vietnamese coffee I have had in a long time. It was not too sweet with the condensed milk. It was the perfect amount of heat as well. The Bún bò Huế I got without the pigs feet. I ended up getting a small bowl but it was pretty big for just one person (I couldn't finish it). It wasn't as spicy as I usually like my dishes but added some red chili oil and it did kind of help. The broth was so delicious and I really liked the brisket in the dish. The table was next to a tv that showed all these street market vendors in Vietnam. This made me even hungrier and more enthralled to try more Vietnamese food here in the future. We ended up paying in the front. They let us pay each bill separately which was super nice and convenient. read more

This used to be our go-to spot back in the day when we wanted pho. The prices were affordable, and the selection was awesome. However, that was ages ago, before the pandemic. I haven't been back there in several years... until now. Since then, the place is still the same, but the prices have skyrocketed. And I've become a lot more sensitive to MSG, so I always request that places NOT add MSG. Unfortunately, from what was explained, Pho Saigon uses premade broth that already contains MSG. The server said it's only "a little," but a little can be subjective, and a little for him can be a lot for me. So, I didn't want to take any chances. I ordered the non-pho dish instead. The #82 Com Bo Nuong (Broken Rice BBQ Beef) dish, to be exact. And that was actually pretty tasty. The beef was grilled and seasoned wonderfully. It came with a side of white rice, a wedge of tomato, some lettuce, and a slice of cucumber. Although the dish was rather small for the price I paid for it (around $17), it was certainly tasty. So, if you're looking for other things to order here, I'd recommend trying that dish. read more

Came here after a long day, order a pho and a roasted chicken, along with a Thai tea The chicken was very tender and flavorful. The sauce that came with it was a good touch My gf enjoyed her pho so we were content Our waiting staff was nice and helped when needed. No complaints, very solid and I do recommend the dish I ate Very homey environment, nice and quiet during the time we went and seemed to have a decent amount of locals around read more

We ate here before a concert at The Fillmore. The summer rolls were fresh and delicious. We all ordered the grilled pork with spring rolls and broken rice. Out of this world. Super fresh. Great flavor. Highly recommend. Had the fresh lemonade which was very mild and lightly sweetened. Highly recommend for food. Service was fast. Bathroom was clean. No complaints. read more

Awesome authentic Vietnamese cuisine with very friendly staff and service. You can't ask for more. Delicious pho and vermicelli bowls and amazing banh mi sandwiches read more

I got the bun cha with spring rolls and pork skin. It was hyper mid. The sauce was too bland, even when I asked for extra and they gave me two. I also did not like the pork skin and thought it didn't taste very fresh aka tasted like pork in an unpleasant sort of way -- but take this with a grain of salt, it was my first time trying pork skin and I might just not be a pork skin fan. The spring rolls were fire tho, especially with the mint. My colleagues said the pho was also fine, not amazing but not terrible. A very strong 3/5 meh. Service was great though!! read more

Vietnamese food at Philly We took out #62 pho with rare steam, flank and tendon and #64 pho with rare steak, flank and tripe. We asked the rice noodles not to be cooked. When came home heated up the soup with beef and put in bean sprouts, thai basil, thinly sliced onions and meats and splashed with the lime juice. The broth was not too salty and tasted good with noodles and meats. read more

I go here enough times but this time they messed my order up. I requested the pork chop with the pork patty shredded pork and egg dish but ended up getting overcharged for adding egg which I didn't want alone read more

If this was a few years ago, I would've given it a higher rated but the food quality has gone down. I ordered my usual, pho tai, nam, gan, sach but the broth was very bland and it wasn't even that hot. The tai remained super uncooked and was very chewy. The nem nuong has very little actual nem and was just filled with vermicelli. Service was fine and it was pretty empty for a Friday evening. I think I'm just going to stick to my go-to pho place at Pho 75 from now on. read more

Super delicious food and large quantity. Friendly staff, too. The location is great and spacious, high ceilings.

Good food . Chill spot to eat and wait for rush hour to end . Extra points for being close to the bridge. Ill be back for sure

Check your receipt and bills. They over charged me without my consent after I picked up my online order through grub hub. I saw my credit card statement which was different than my receipt and reported them to my bank and grub hub Where else do I report them?? Also, I ordered 2 pho tais- and it came with 3 different fatty meats I definitely did not want. - tripe, brisket, some other super fatty meat, and then a few slices of rare steak. and made both soups super oily. Disappointment all around Hurricane was coming through so I wasn't about to go back out in the rain to drive back to complain. . And didn't see the different charges applied until 4 days later. Suddenly grub hub showed higher prices for the same items I ordered for a cheaper price. You can't do that after I confirmed my order and picked. Y'all literally stapled the correct original receipt so I had proof for my bank read more

i've always enjoyed this place but i'll never go again my first language is english. i asked if they had a soup with coconut milk like tom yum, they kept saying it wasn't a thai place so no. but i know they aren't thai. but my friend got me a soup from there last week and i got my own as well a few days back with coconut milk and i couldn't remember what it was called so i had to describe the ingredients. since they work there , they could just help me. they kept saying it was no way i got a soup with coconut milk because they aren't thai... the men argued for 5 mins saying they didn't have anything with coconut milk in it , then finally admitted their tom kha DOES have coconut milk in it. they just wanted to force me to say the soup correctly but i came in asking because i didn't know it and needed help. it was clear they wanted to embarrass me and be challenging for no reason. as a black person trying to connect over cultures , also trying to connect with the nonblack folks in my historically black neighborhood who are able to buy up businesses, while not making space for the folks in that area, is so tired. i'm sick of this treatment. asian and black folks could join communal forces. i'm tired of being treated like an outsider in my own city read more

We came here at 7:30 PM on a Saturday night and the middle-aged man (I don't know if he's the owner or the manager) was rushing us to get our orders in because the kitchen was about to close. It turns out that they close at 8 PM on Saturday nights. We had no idea that they would close so early on a Saturday night. Also, since the kitchen was about to close, our options were limited. We could not order any fried egg rolls or rice dishes, only dishes with soup. We ordered the summer rolls and some pho. The summer rolls were small, the soup that the pho was in was not hot enough to cook the rare beef, and even though I specifically told the man who took our orders "no onions", there was still onions in my pho and I had to pick them out. This place is way overpriced for what they serve and, worse of all, for the poor customer service. The middle-aged man who took our orders was gruff. When he brought us our check, he did not say a single word, no smile, no thank you, nothing. He also never came back to take my credit card, so I had to go pay up front. I had been wanting to try this place for a while. What a disappointment it turned out to be. I will definitely never go there again. Next time I'm in the neighborhood and want some Asian food, I'll just go to the seafood and sushi buffet next door and I recommend everyone do the same. read more

I've eaten here so many times in the past. Went for some pho and iced coffee. The Pho was great. But when asked for an iced Vietnamese coffee, I noticed the cups were about 1/4 full without ice. When the server added ice to my coffee, the cup was filled with mostly ice. I told them there needs to be more coffee in that cup. Im not paying for a cup of ice sprinkled with a touch of coffee. I told them that was a rip off. The cashier and servers said nothing. People are not stupid. Stop trying to scam your customers. If you want to serve that amount of coffee, you should be charging $2.00. You just lost a once loyal customer. Bad business. Go elsewhere. read more

I have been coming to this place for years now. I swear by their pho. Their entrees are also pretty tasty. I've had their pork chop as well as the bbq chicken. Servers are quick and at your service. I will continue being a patron for years to come. read more

Pho Saigon - Shrimp Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Food: Ordered the pho tai with bo vien (slices of raw beef with beef balls). Soup was pretty typical and certainly hits the spot on a cold day. This restaurant is one of the few that includes beef balls in multiple menu items and they're also better than the beef balls at other restaurants too. Price: The price is higher compared to other pho places in the area - about $16 for the large bowl. A little difficult to justify spending the extra money when the quality of the food is on average and the restaurant is just a few minutes away from many other spots that are more affordable. read more

I love this place. Once a month or so my partner and me come here to enjoy a nice hot bowl of pho. The pho is delicious and always piping hot! The service is also amazing! We haven't waited longer than 30 secs to get seated with menus ever. The servers are quick and friendly. When we bring our son they always have a high chair ready to go while we walk to the table. The ambiance is chill. Overall this is a great place to get a delicious, affordable, and fast meal! read more

I have to admit, I used to never go to this restaurant even though it's been around for quite some time. But in the past one to two years, my husband and I have ordered takeout from here several times and the food has always been solid. Our go-to is the grilled chicken over rice or vermicelli. It's definitely pricier than other Vietnamese restaurants around the area, but the quality is better and the portions are huge. I can't really speak to the brothy options on their menu (had one item and only remember not being impressed) but I don't think you can go wrong with any of the rice or vermicelli dishes. read more

Pho Saigon is my favorite Pho restaurant in Philadelphia. Why? You can get delicious Pho at several places in Philly, and Pho Saigon is no different. What sets apart Pho Saigon (for me), is: the PEANUT SAUCE for the summer rolls! Holy moley, that is the BEST peanut sauce I've ever tasted at any Vietnamese restaurant. The second item that sets apart Pho Saigon for me, is the AVOCADO SHAKE! Its soooo delicious! Perfectly thick and blended, not too sweet, delicious liquid avocado in my tummy. Can't get better than that. Some other local Pho places on Washington Ave are all cash only, but not Pho Saigon! Use credit cards here! The staff are so friendly, and the food comes out SPEEDY FAST. Every time I eat here, which as been at least 5 times, the food is on the table seriously minutes after ordering. And, they give you a plate full of extra toppings for your Pho; bean sprouts, lime, basil, jalapenos, etc. I know that all other Pho places also serve this, but I feel like Pho Saigon gives you the most. Also, did I mention the Peanut Sauce!? I wish I could take that sauce home in containers and use it for dipping all my food :) Love Pho Saigon, I will be back again and again! read more

Great place for some Vietnamese food! We enjoyed the spring rolls as appetizer and the service was fast and kind. My sister ordered the Bun Bo Hue and said that there wasn't enough noodles, so that is our only complaint. The inside is nice and clean. Would come back here again for lunch! read more

Pre-Covid-19, it was one of my favorite pho places, but I've never ordered pho takeout before. It did not disappoint. Flavors were as good as I remembered and you just call and pickup. Portion sizes are still pretty good and packaged well. There is no regular and large size like the eat-in menu, just one size for takeout. read more

Returning customer, Been here a couple times. Today i noticed , The prices jumped through the roof. a small bowl of pho is 17$ and it's very small. My boyfriend and I went we got a coffee, small steak pho soup, broken rice platter and spring roll... came to 60$ with tip. Almost left when I noticed the change but was already seated. Won't return ... it's just regular pho, no atmosphere no music and out of the way. read more

Stopped by for dinner before going to the movies and it was great. We ordered spring rolls. They were steaming hot and the sauce was delicious! Then for our main dish we ordered beef pho with a variety of meats. And we also ordered fish ball pho. That was a special order for me and it was very nice of them for being so accommodating. The food was good. The service was quick and standard. You should try this place. read more

This place is my go to whenever I'm in the mood for pho. I live right off and travel up and down I95 alot so having multiple food options off many of the exits is always nice. The food comes out hot and fast and everything always tastes fresh. Some people complain about the decor and service, but I'm there for a quick bite so I'm not bothered. The waiters dont check on you often but if you need something just wave them over and they are always quick to help once you get their attention. The decor isnt terrible, but as long as the staff is at least friendly, and the food is good, I don't complain. Some of the best places are small hole in the walls. My usual order is the beef ball pho. I enjoy this type of pho because I'm not always in the mood for thin slices of beef. The balls are dense and look like they contain pieces of tendon or some other semi gelatinous chunks. It's perfect if you are looking for something that's a little chewy but still packs beef flavor. I also like to season my pho heavily with the floral accompaniments (thai basil, cilantro, lime) so it's nice to have something meaty to cut through that. We also usually get the vermicelli with pork. The pork has a nice grilled flavor and the other ingredients add a nice freshness to the dish. I give this place 4/5 stars because the location is convenient, the service is fast, the food fresh, hot, and tasty. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the staff could be more cheerful, the room temperature is always off, and it could be updated a little. These are just nitpicky opinions if I were forced to offer some critique so I feel 4/5 is more than fair. read more

I came here to grab some food while waiting for my car to be serviced at the Pep Boys in the same plaza. It was around 10:30 in the morning. There were maybe four or five other customers also there. The service was prompt and efficient - I didn't have to wait any time to place my order and the food literally came out in 5-10 minutes. The pho was delicious and really hit the spot. I would definitely come here again, especially since it is adjacent to a huge parking lot and easy to get to! read more

The food was okay. Not the best but not the worst either. The people were friendly and prices were average. Their Thai tea was well-made! The noodles were a bit too soft for my liking and the spring rolls were not crunchy enough. The fish sauce was a bit bland in my opinion too. read more

Everyone needs pho the day after drinking. My girlfriend and I came here after pulling ourselves out of bed this past Saturday. This Pho spot is one of my favorites in south philly. The broth in this pho is super flavorful. I hardly need to add hoisin and sriracha to my bowl. The spring rolls were good, however one was warm while the other was really hot. It could be a possibility that one wasn't fried and was sitting out. The Viet coffee is strong but I think they add some milk which my gf didn't like. Their bowls of pho is also a couple dollars more than a usual pho spot, it's $10-$11 here. BUT, their pho does hit the spot which is why this is one of pho spots. read more

Came into this place based off of my sister's recommendation, and I must say that it did not disappoint. We were seated immediately when we walked in, and we were given the menus to order. The menu has many pho options, and each item has a number and description. This makes ordering a lot easier. You simply give your server the number of the item you are ordering, and they bring it to you. The waiters waited patiently for us to decide what we were ordering, and they gave descriptions of items when we asked for clarification. We ordered a few appetizer items of veggie and seafood summer rolls, and they tasted great. Everyone I was eating with ordered the 'Beef Pho with Rare Steak,' and it was exceptional. The large versus regular size option has only a one dollar difference, so we all went with the large. The portion is huge, and incredibly filling if you can even finish it. The flavor of the broth was great, and the servers supplied us with ample bean sprouts, basil, and limes for topping. The waiters were very friendly and accommodating. The overall value for around 10-12 dollars for a bowl of genuine pho is incredible. The taste is great, and the ambiance is not bad. Additionally, this restaurant is in a shopping center with a parking lot, which is great being that Philly can sometimes be difficult to finding parking. The bathrooms are soo decent, but could use some improvement. Overall, Pho Saigon is a great spot for affordable and genuine pho with great service. read more

Pho is average at best. Even for a vietnamese restaurant, known for lack of customer service, this place is absolutely horrible at service.
