Broken rice chicken with fried rice, side pickled salad. Good portion size.
Deb V.

The ambiance is so charming! Lots of cozy decor to look at. I ordered for pickup and it eas waiting in the designated area. I ordered broken rice chicken. The chicken was moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. The fried rice was fresh and flavorful. It also came with pickled carrots cucumbers salad. The fish sauce added a salty element. It was really tasty and a good size portion. I will definitely return for sit down meal.

9. Phở Tái Nam

Best pho I've EVER had. It was like a never ending bowl of meat. I got the #9 and it was such an incredible deal and so flavorful. I honestly may go back again today before I leave the area

I believe when people think of Ventura and Oxnard (California) they think of your a-typical seaside town, perhaps similar restaurants and bars but amidst all the "surfs up" there's Pho Saigon -- an incredibly authentic Vietnamese restaurant. This was my first time at "Pho Saigon" but I had that feeling even before finding a seat that this was going to be a great experience-- and so it was. Ok I only had the Pho but it was really well prepared with great ingredients and just so tasty and delicious. Honestly I could have stayed there all night if I had a bigger appetite-- some of their dishes coming out of their kitchen were just incredible, with colors and presentation would make a Chef Ramsey or Mark Weins want to eat here! The prices are also very reasonable with a well structured menu with pictures of most offerings. An additional benefit is that they also have free WiFi, so you can watch your favorite TV show while you're enjoying your Pho! I thought their seating is arrangement is well planned with family tables, booths and single tables. They even have a sit down wait area! Parking should be stress-free as it's situated on a strip mall across from the naval station. Lastly I'll give a shout out for the servers as their service attitude is very assured, friendly and customer focused! They even have a happy hour on Friday's!

Chow fun style noodles - terrible

I haven't been here in years and I got a chance to try it recently under the new ownership. The food here has always 'catered to the area' and is decent, but they never could compete with viet places elsewhere. We ordered a few dishes to go to share including egg rolls, bun, fried rice, and some chow fun type noodle dish. The bun was similar to before, but the meat was very salty, overall good ratio of bun to veg to meat, and well cooked. It was definitely a sizeable portion. The fried rice was good, I enjoyed this dish. The chow fun style noodles with tofu was horrendous, I don't even know how they let this leave the restaurant. It literally tasted like watered down cheap soy sauce flavored mush. The egg rolls were mostly wrapper so it was not good. Overall, decent.

Flat Rice Noodles
Syreena M.

Our beloved pho saigon! Recently tried our usuals under new ownership. #35 grilled pork with fried rice was delicious while #58 flat rice noodles (no tofu) was off tasting. It definitely was not the same. The best I can describe the flavor is similar to its competitors at the Collection in the Annex. It had more of a butter taste and they added bok choy to it now and skimped on the carrots. Might have to find a new favorite dish..

Rare Beef pho

Will be under new ownership effective May 31,2025, I had to stop by! So many memories - lunches and dinners here. Service was great! It was busy but we got our food quickly! The community will truly miss them and they are showing up. Amazing family owned restaurant for decades! Great food! My friend had never been, a local and she was sad she hadn't visited before. I'll make sure to support the new restaurant owners but still a bit heartbroken :/

This place has fantastic food. I also found it crowded when I went; this wasn't surprising given the phenomenal food. I had a rice bowl with meatballs, chicken, pork, and egg rolls. Everything was tasty, and there was plenty of food. The server took my order and quickly brought out my food. My favorite toppings were the meatballs. They were well-seasoned. For a drink, I ordered an iced Vietnamese coffee. It was definitely one of the top three iced drinks I've tasted recently. You can go up to pay for your food at the counter after you've finished or wait for the server to come by. I have absolutely no complaints and understand why this place is popular. There's plenty of parking, but be sure to read signs so you aren't taking a business' parking space nearby.

FOOD: I got one of the broken rice plates with everything. It had sheimp, egg rolls, beef, chicken and pork. Portion is good for two. The sweet fish sauce completed everything. So good! I highly recommend. We also got the house special pho and a bit salty but the lime helped cut that down and everything tasted great and fresh. SERVICE: The service was quick acknowledging us. The food came out in a decent amount of time. Not too long not too quick that the plate was a mess or inaccurate. There was a bit of staff working as a team cleaning tables, serving foods and taking orders. Staff were really nice and welcoming. We did not feel rushed at all. AMBIANCE: Plenty of seatings such as booths and tables. Clean tables with bright lighting. Bathrooms were clean and stocked lol. It can get loud due to plenty of customers. They barely opened and they were already steady busy. Last time I went during dinner time. There were 5-8 groups already waiting before we got there. I think they need a bigger location lol. Overall, highly recommend! Worth the hype. Delicious food and reasonable prices. My broken rice dish was $19 but it was plenty and shareable. Pho had plenty of meat and perfect meat to noodle ratio! Condiments if needed were available on the table along with some utensils. The condiments container were clean which was a plus for me. Perfect for groups or couples. Will definitely come back!

I usually order to go as Pho has become my rainy day / gloomy day-stay-inside-and-cuddle-under-a-blanket comfort food. and especially because this restaurant just happens to be in my neck of the woods. I follow Pho Saigon on Instagram and I love watching Jimmy's stories and posts. He makes me laugh, which makes me want to go down there even more so. Everyone is super helpful and nice. Now for the food...everything looks so good and I always have the idea I will venture from my usual order and try other things but if it ain't broke why fix it? Pho Tôm is my go to and even though it's not on the menu, it's an easy order. Also get the egg rolls with the side of veggies to share with my family. And then if I'm really feeling hungry I wash it all down with a Thai Tea with Boba. I have dined in person a couple of times and I have always been fortunate to not have to wait very long but I know this place gets packed! It's a neighborhood favorite and I love watching the fish swim in the large tank while I'm waiting. Never had a bad experience at all and would most definitely keep coming back. Thanks Jimmy and family! Photastic!

Being pregnant has me extra picky with food, but Pho Saigon did NOT disappoint! Everything was so delicious, flavorful, and satisfying. Definitely hit the spot for one of my pregnancy cravings! I'll absolutely be coming back. 10/10!

Do they have Pad Thai?

Pad Thai is not Vietnamese food.

Yes, they reopened May 15th

Are the noodles rice or wheat?

Both. They have rice noodles and the standard noodles made from flour, egg and so forth.

I believe that this restaurant is called Ragin' Pot because of the deep sense of rage that it…read morecreates within your soul. 1) The flame on the hot pot doesn't get hot enough to cook the meat. We had to ask for a second sterno because our vegetables didn't cook. The meat (a thick cut of beef) was served in the pot completely raw, so I think this was also why it took so long to heat up. We were sitting there for a long time watching the pot looking for bubbles. Because the sterno can't get the pot to boiling, this is a health hazard. I see a couple reviews of people getting sick after eating here, so I wonder if that's the reason why. 2) The service was subpar. There were two waitresses covering three tables and somehow all of our parties were looking around trying to flag them down. It took FOREVER to get a to go box and our bill. 3) And the dipping sauce situation... there are no sauces on the table, and we had to ask if there was any sauce for our hot pot. The waitress wasn't sure and had to go into the back to check. Their house sauce is just soy sauce mixed with Lao Gan Ma chili flakes... By the time you crawl out hours later because of how long service took, you'll be haggard and wrinkled. It kind of ruined our day. There's a Tasty Pot in Oxnard. Go there.

My recommendation if you're in the area and looking for breakfast, slide across the street to Pepe's or hit up the Hollywood beach Cafe. I'm sure wait times are less and foods not a disappointment. If the StrandWich is reading this: Fix your process guys. You're slipping and everyone can tell.

I gave the restaurant another opportunity yesterday, but unfortunately, I left disappointed again. It appears they have done away with their old bento boxes. The dishes used for the banchan with the lunch special still have a somewhat dated appearance, including some chipped pieces. Considering the relatively high price of the lunch special, I would think updating the presentation and serving ware would be worthwhile. The service, however, remains friendly and efficient. I ordered the bulgogi, and while it wasn't bad tasting, it didn't seem to be prepared properly. The meat texture was a bit mushy and onions had no caramelization, and the dish lacked the rich, savory flavor and texture that makes good bulgogi so enjoyable. It almost tasted as though it had been cooked at too low a temperature. Unfortunately, the banchan were also disappointing. They were very bland overall. The carrot in the potato-and-carrot dish had an odd taste that reminded me of cleaning solution, so I actually spit it out and didn't eat the rest. The kimchi portion was extremely small and, frankly, didn't look particularly appetizing, so I didn't try it. The radish was also very basic and lacked much flavor. The two wontons were unremarkable, although the radish soup was still good, as it usually is. The salad was fine as usual, and the mixed rice was tasty. Ultimately, though, when I'm paying around $23 before tax and tip for a lunch special and receiving such small portions and inconsistent food quality, I don't feel the meal represents a good value. I really wanted to give this place another chance because I enjoyed my earlier visits, but unfortunately, this most recent meal left me disappointed.
