Great service, but pho and broth is mediocre at best. Average size portions and watered down broth with beef that was tough and chewy and the chicken bland in taste and texture. We had the pork filled summer rolls which leaned on the lighter size in terms of size and weight. The rolls were bland, as was the peanut dipping sauce. If I return, I'll try the rice dishes instead. Street parking only.

Bun Bn B Hue and added wontons with the freshest garnish available

Definitely hands down some of the best Vietnamese food in Springfield. Service and ambience are always very attentive, clean and polite that you always feel comfortable and never rushed even when the restaurant is full. Lena makes the best shrimp & pork wontons so I always order them to add to my pho or Bun Bo Hue which are my favorite soups even though they serve a lot of sizzling hot plates to tables which give off a tremendous aroma of lemongrass, ginger & garlic. If you want any help ordering ask for Lena or her brother Sia for their advice you won't regret it and tell them you read the review from wonton man!

Our favourite Vietnamese place when we visit Springfield, MA. Great food & service. Highly recommend.

After a long drive, we wanted something warm for our cold drive. We luckily found pho saigon in Springfield, NY and woah was it a treat. I absolutely loved my coconut shake because I could taste the real coconut pieces. My friends enjoyed the filling pho options. I opted to try something new - Bun Rieu - ground shrimp/pork, tofu tomato vermicelli soup. It was flavorful and good. I do prefer normal pho over it, but I was very satisfied with our meal. My party and I left very content - recommend this joint if you are craving pho and good shakes in the area!

My coffee. Teach me how I should do it.

September 1, 2024 I took my family into Springfield for church and we were going to meet friends for an afternoon discussion and it was too long and too much hassle to go home to Chicopee first, eat then go back to see our friends in Springfield, so we decided we would have lunch at one of our old favorite restaurants in Springfield, Pho Saigon. We had been there many years ago and I had been there in High School on a trip to try "authentic Asian food." Well, memories came flooding back as we saw the VESPA in the window like old times. We went in and the waitstaff was very kind, the floors (especially in the back) were uneven and warped as ever. The menu was pretty normal and I suddenly had a hankering for a big bowl of noodles. The kids wanted a drink in addition and normally I would say no, the water is fine but I knew I would write a review so I decided I would order a few. I was concerned they would deliver the drink in the middle of the meal but they were smart, they made the drink later and gave it to us as I almost finished my noodles. I got the classic bowl of noodles with sliced beef and some veggies too. They bring out a plate filled with stuff and there was no explanation about what to do. That would have been helpful at least for my kids who didn't know. But the assumption is that you've eaten there before. But the stuff they brought was a mix of many things like a vegetable and even some leaves and slices of jalapeno. I ate and ate. It was so good. The waitstaff was very attentive and constantly came to fill our waters and my mother-in-law's hot water. The bowls were so big I ate a little bit of everyone's. It was good yummy food. Finally the drinks came out and we were going to have to run. We got a mango bubble tea and a limeade drink too. I got the Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk that came really well done. The milk was thick on the bottom. The coffee had already gone through the coffee maker thing which was resting on the coffee cup itself. I'm a coffee drinker and I didn't know what to do to do it the right way. Thankfully I spoke up. Just a simple: "Have you had our coffee before sir?" would suffice and the customer would admit, No I don't know what to do. The spoon nearby was a great idea to swirl the milk and coffee drink together. Nice colors and then I poured it into the cup of ice. Yum. It was really good. Well done, Pho Saigon. You did it again. Not much seems to have changed over the years which is a good thing. The restaurant was still packed and people coming in and out. Our three kids all ate well and one of our kids has a peanut allergy, the waitstaff told me we don't add that at all! Though the price was hefty, the food was delicious and the bathrooms somewhat clean, Pho Saigon is a much more authentic Asian choice in the X in downtown Springfield.

I was here over the summer on June 4th, 2020 and this place hit the pho out of the park for me. I unfortunately ate at the pho place across the street a few months earlier and this place is by far superior to that place. The depth of flavor in the broth is incredible. It was flavorful enough and well balanced with being overly strong. They were only taking to go orders in June 2020 when I was here. By the time I finished my meal I had to place a call to them to tell them how great I enjoyed the pho. Something they already know of course. The noodles were also not mushy like other places. The bean sprouts were also so fresh. I can't wait to get back here.

Spicy beef pho with lemongrass

The food, service and atmosphere are excellent. Best Vietnamese food in the area. We enjoy the Pho. Everything else is good.

But here is the problem: the owner is clearly staying in the kitchen with their head in a hole and has no idea what customers are actually experiencing. The dining room was cold. Not comfortable. Not cozy. Just cold. My wife ordered something she didn't expect and didn't like, but no one ever came by to ask how things were. No one noticed. The waiter wasn't rude. He just wasn't attentive. Out of touch, not alert, going through the motions. We sat there in an empty, cold room with pre-poured dipping sauces in little plastic cups like we were at a takeout counter. its chintzy, For $50? Really? Here is the thing people need to understand: people don't just eat out to eat. They eat out to feel better about their lives. Even if just for an hour. Even if just to escape the kitchen and the stress at home. When the service is missing, or poor, or causes more stress than it relieves, it's not worth going back. No matter how good the food is. It was slow when we were there. So, it's not like they were overwhelmed. They just weren't paying attention to the people who actually showed up. I feel for the owners. I do. Running a restaurant is brutal. But if folks like us don't come back, and we won't, you're in trouble. Because the service element is like a note which says we want you back or we could give a****. The food alone isn't enough. You have to look up from the stove once in a while and see what your customers are going through.

We've been to a lot of the restaurants in Northampton and decided to jump over to Amherst to try a new to me restaurant. This was a cold and damp afternoon, only a day after a snow storm. Mom was excited to order her Tofu Bahn Mi, but I was really looking forward to a big bowl of hot Chicken Pho and a Summer Roll. Our friend tried the Rice Bowl with Steak and Shrimp and a Bao Bun which was delicious. My mom loved her sandwich. The bread alone was enough to make me decide that I must try one next time. My Pho broth was well flavored. The chicken pieces were slightly smaller than what I'm used to from other places, but there was plenty to enjoy. There was an adequate amount of noodles, basil, sprouts and jalapeños. My Summer Roll, while quite enjoyable, was a little difficult to eat. I'm used to having my roll cut in half and this was served whole. The wrapper started to fall apart at one point, but I made sure that I didn't lose anything. Our friend's bowl was good and filling and we were told that the bun was delicious,

I am glad to see a new Vietnamese place in the area though, and especially with earlier hours. We were quickly greeted upon entry, and service throughout was pretty stellar. No complaints at all. We were pointed to what was available on the menu that day, which was probably one of the biggest frustrations about the overall experience. Given that this restaurant is a cafe, it already has a small/limited menu, and then to be told only certain items were being served was even further limiting (overall it was fine though because we knew what we wanted and it was available). The interior is well laid out given how little space they are utilizing, and there was a TV blasting a Vietnamese game show of some kind. I normally would be annoyed by this sort of thing, but it added to the overall charm of this place for me. Clean interior. The food was pretty great overall, you can tell everything is made from scratch. The pho broth was very unique and very complex in flavor. There was a little bit of heat in it, which I absolutely loved, and have never tasted in other pho broths that I've had before. I wish there was a little more meat in the dish than what we were given, but overall pretty solid. This place is a solid lunch time spot to get pho, though there is stiff competition for Vietnamese restaurants in this area...

Subsequent visits to the same place is basically what solidify my impression about a certain place…read moreand today An Cafe did not disappoint me when I visited them for lunch. I ordered the Rice with Korean Short Ribs and at first it's your typical Rice with Korean Short Ribs, but what sets them apart is how much food you're getting for the price that you're paying. I basically got half a plate of short ribs for $10 and just as much rice to balance it out. The short ribs were tender and well marinated. Initially, my thoughts on the short ribs were salty then I REALIZED that I was SUPPOSE to eat the short ribs with rice because unlike western cuisine, the short ribs and the rice are suppose to be eaten TOGETHER and not separately. D'OH! The two balanced each other out nicely when I ate it correctly (i.e. short ribs and rice together). The Pho broth that accompanied the rice dish is a nice touch because traditionally, rice dishes are accompanied with some sort of soup (even in Vietnamese Households at dinner time) because sometimes as you are eating rice, your throat might feel dry and the soup helps balance that out. +ELITE TIP: Before adding fish sauce to the rice, try the short rib with the rice first. Then if you think it's bland, add fish sauce to suit your taste.

The dining area is still very sparse in design and coverage. The wait staff were still apathetic, and the wait times for things is still a little long. The Korean fried chicken was very tasty, sweet and salty Korean bbq sauce on perfectly fried wings was delightful. We opted for the pho, and that was very good. The broth was rich and flavorful, no need to season it was perfect already. The brisket was tender and still had a strong brisket flavor. There was a good amount of meat to the bowl and the noodles were fresh. The noodles did clump a bit, but they easily separated when agitated. All of the sushi was not as successful. The rolls lacked any significant flavor and missed some basic elements of sushi preparation. The rice was not seasoned, was not sticky, and the fish was roughly cut. The spicy rolls lacked spice and the crunchy rolls lacked crunch. It was presented well, just didn't show the level of care the front of the menu had. We informed our server of the sushi problems and she apologized but still charged us for all the sushi. Making an otherwise great experience not so great. I would recommend those who come here to focus on the front of the menu exclusively. Those dishes are stellar and are well worth the asking price. The sushi menu on the back is basic in flavor, pricy, and only worth having if you really need sushi. It does limit their menu significantly, but the quality difference is drastic.
