Pho Saigon is a wonderful little restaurant with a calm, relaxing atmosphere and peaceful music. The dining area is always clean and beautifully decorated, making it a great place for a date or a quiet meal. My favorite dishes are the pho and the pork spring rolls with peanut sauce--they're absolutely delicious! The wait time is always reasonable, and the customer service is consistently friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Pho Saigon to anyone looking for authentic food and a cozy dining experience. read more

Located at Market Square Center, a strip-mall on Orange Ave in Roanoke Virginia, this Asian family-owned Vietnamese restaurant, has been in business since August 2011. I'm not an expert in Vietnamese Cuisine, nor do I profess to be, but I can tell when I eat good food and I have discovered it in fancy restaurants as well as in many hole in the wall ones. Today I decided to get off the road most traveled, to end up in this Asian family-owned Vietnamese Cuisine restaurant. As I arrived I immediately saw its simple but very effective white sign with large black print with the restaurant's name and telephone number. Inside, the place was very clean starting from its large front window and glass door. Decorated very simple with plants, family items saved throughout the years, and artworks hanging from the walls, its shinny hardwood floor and simple lamps hanging from the ceiling, join with the nice looking wooden furniture to create the right amount of elegance and at the same time relaxed environment. I received a warm welcome and genuine greeting from a Vietnamese gentleman who had me take a seat and handed me the menu of the restaurant. To drink I ordered the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. It was so rich and delicious with its condensed milk. For appetizer I ordered the Pork Spring Rolls served with a Peanut Dipping. For a better idea of how good they were, I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review, because a picture is worth a thousand words. As my main course I ordered the Stir Fry Noodles with Grilled Pork and Shrimps. It came out in a square, light green plate. And it both looked and tasted so good that I immediately identified with the best of Vietnamese Cuisine. In conclusion I highly recommend this Asian family-owned Vietnamese Cuisine restaurant for its amazing food, relaxed environment, wonderful customer service, and extraordinary dining experience. read more

I've been going where with my family for awhile now and it's always been our favorite place to relax and spend some bonding time. The decoration is adorable and service is always remarkable. The food is warm always outstanding and the waiting time and price are reasonable. I recommend Pho Saigon to anyone who's trying to have a nice warm meal in a relaxing environment with snaking customer service. read more

I got a takeout order and it might not be fair to rate a place by way of a food delivery service. However, the bill was about $95 for two soups and two appetizers. For me that's crazy expensive especially considering I have to go to the hotel restaurant to get a bowl and silverware.. I regretted the purchase before it was delivered and well, at least I wasn't hungry anymore. I will not make that mistake again. read more

Came in for early lunch today, love that they open and are ready to serve at 10am! The place is beautiful inside with really neat swinging egg chairs to relax in. First thing I noticed was how immaculately clean it was, even the bathroom was very well kept. We ordered some pho and vermicelli noodles as well as some spring wraps. Everything wonderful, and evenly spiced. Nothing was overpowered. They were out of the rib meat btw but that was fine we switched,that would be the only negative. Wife had the milk tea, our 2yr old loved the pho broth and worked on her chop stick skills. Staff was so friendly and stopped to say hi when we were seated. read more

Wonderful food. It's our go to for Thai food. Get the pho....the curry chicken pho is our favorite. Not spicy just good flavor!

Visiting the city and had a taste for Vietnamese but not just pho. Our order was good: wonderful fish sauce on the Vermicelli beef with eggroll, and delicious stir fry shrimp with egg roll. We shared. We were the only sit down customers. Brisk pickup business. Good service. read more

Probably the best pho and broth I have ever had. Truly authentic and delicious!! The ladies that work here were incredibly nice too I got the vegan pho and spring rolls and they were amazing read more

Bun was $18 for inedible chicken and subpar veggies. Unfortunately we took it to go - had I been in the restaurant I would return it. Egg rolls were old and sauce was not good. read more

The restaurant is very clean and nice. The gentleman who met us when we came in was very polite to us. We got beef Pho and it was amazing, probably the best in Roanoke. Very reasonable price for a huge bowl of Pho. Will for sure be coming back here any time I get a Pho craving. read more

First time eating Pho and it was absolutely delicious. The service was some of the best I have ever had. They took the time to answer any questions that I had. Highly recommend trying read more

The soup was on the sweet side with no depth of flavor. The presentation was nice, but no veggie plate as they put a little bit of bean sprouts and basil on top when they serve it to you. The bun bo hue was also sweet so I tried to transform it with fish sauce and lots of sriracha but it didn't help. I asked for shrimp paste but they said they couldn't give it to me for Bun Bo Hue. Wth!? lol I will not be coming back here even though the staff was super nice. read more

I just finished dinner and already can't wait to come back here! I got the beef spicy noodle soup and loved it. The spring rolls were pretty good too. But the real star was the Vietnamese iced coffee - so creamy and decadent! The service was lightning fast and very polite. Dining in was a pleasant experience with nice quiet music and plenty of space - both booths and tables. Definitely 10/10 and a place I'll visit often. read more

Meh, not impressed with this place. The spring rolls I ordered were soggy inside and had a funky taste to it. It was all veggies, just like a chinese egg roll but worst. The dipping sauce that came with it wasn't even Vietnamese nuoc mam (fish sauce), it's bottled Thai sauce. Pho didn't have that strong pho aroma, it was like watered down. The Sriracha sauce on the table was also watery and thin, eww. Bun bo hue (spicy noodle) wasn't spicy, lacked flavor, and they were missing a lot of ingredients. The traditional pork knuckle and pork roll were missing, and many more. The type of noodles they used for this dish was wrong as well. I ordered something to go and when we got home from the 5 hr drive, came to find out it was missing a few things. 3 different type of meats was suppose to be in the dish but all I got was dried up chicken. Not an authentic place if you ask me. read more

Their hours are weirdly late (3-8PM) and it's hard to order over the phone because it took a while to answer. We had to go in person to place our order because no one was answering. We got the pho and spring rolls. The pho is good, but we felt like the amount of meat they gave was very little despite us ordering the large. The soup base was nice and not overly salty. The spring rolls were fresh and very delicious. We wanted banh mi but apparently, they were sold out of it? We went around 4pm so we were surprised that they were sold out of it. read more

1. The hours were listed as 3-8PM on Fridays on Google. I called several times from 3-3:30, and no one picked up. They either need to open their restaurant when advertised or update their hours. 2. While I was trying to place my order, my friend happened to laugh in the background. The person taking my order got inexplicably offended and accused us of prank calling and claimed we weren't even going to pick up my order. He proceeded to take the rest of my order, but then abruptly hung up. I was unsure if they were actually going to complete my order and didn't want to go elsewhere if they were, so I called again to confirm. They put me on hold only to hang up shortly thereafter. I understand times are hard right now, but it doesn't absolve someone of being horribly rude. Regardless of how good their food might be, I won't try ordering from here again. read more

Hearty broth and nice portions. Service is excellent and inviting. Thai iced tea is refreshing! read more

Pho Saigon - 57. Rice Noodle Soup with Meatballs and Eye Round Steak - Vietnamese Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

Not a mind-blowing experience, but just the right combination of good food, ambience, and service: ++ They let you pick a table. Pho no. 8 with fatty brisket and flanks: surprisingly moderate serving, even if it's "small." I really expected and would've liked more...everything - noodles and meat. Good broth. 4/5 Chicken curry pho: slightly different broth with a nice hint of lemongrass. Not a massive curry flavor. Chicken is pulled-style white meat and kind of meh, but at least it's not soy. Again, smallish serving size with not a lot of noodles and chicken. 3/5 Food came out very fast. Service staff checked on us (doesn't happen always). Good ice tea with just the right sweetness. Comfy booth seats. -- How about just a handful more noodles and meat in pho bowls? read more

Got pho, spring roll, and bahn mi. The pho broth was not to my liking, although it wasn't awful. It was too sweet and lacked savoriness. The spring roll was fine, but the bahn mi was terrible. Only had 3 ingredients - lettuce, carrot, and meat. I've always had bahn mi with jalapeños, lettuce, pickled radish, cucumbers, cilantro, etc. Bread was very dry too. Don't think I'll order from here again. ‍ read more

I've had pho all over the US. Especially in NoVa, philly and maryland and unfortunately this place ranks near the bottom. Ordered a large and the portion was lacking. The broth was more sweet than savory. The summer roll was flaccid and the banh mi lacked several key ingredients. read more

We weee looking for something warm just getting over Covid and man Pho hit the spot! Food was hot and fresh and absolutely delicious I will recommend this place to anybody anytime read more

All the food tasty! Not too bland, not too salty, well balanced flavors. The drinks in the photo were strawberry-hibiscus drinks that are being prepared now for future menu and really refreshing! The guy provided it as a service for feedback and he was really kind to our group. I will definitely visit there again because of genuine pho taste and their good service! read more

Pho Saigon - Beef pho, chicken noodle, spring roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Roanoke, Virginia

Don't be fooled by the appearance! There's is some of the best Pho and other Vietnamese menu food items in town!

Great Pho spot. My wife and I stopped in and had lunch on a slow Sunday afternoon. The staff was attentive and friendly. We both had beef pho and both bowls were amazing. read more

This is the best pho I've ever had. I drive from blacksburg to Roanoke all the time just for this pho. I get the chicken one because I don't like red meat but apparently the flank steak ones are just as good. I also always get lemongrass tofu for appetizer and it's insane- so so good. I will always keep coming back here as long as I live in the area. I have been so many pho places- it's my favorite food and pho Saigon is my favorite place. Short wait always. Great service. It's seriously all that. read more

Drove all the way over since they didn't change any changes online, only to show up and find out they're closed. They tested positive for Covid. There is a note on their door that says they'll be open in 2 weeks. read more

Every time I would go my Bá (grandma) house she would make me pho as a little girl it was the best. My mom and I where really hungry because we haven't really eaten all day we decided to stop and eat at a Viet restaurant because it's all we are used to eating and it's a closest thing to eating a home cooked meal, this is the best pho I had in a long time the waiter was super nice, me and him where cracking jokes and laughs the whole time and I really felt at home. Btw the spring rolls and the passion fruit boba tea was the bomb also my friends and I have a new place to get Viet food. My mom and I live an hour away and I would definitely drive an hour to eat here it's definitely worth it. read more

Came here based only upon Yelp recommendations! The first impression was very very good! The Vietnamese staff seemed very genuine, friendly & attentive! Noticed the wait staff cleaning the tables with sanitizing spray which is a huge plus in my books! The vegetarian tofu spring rolls with peanut sauce was excellent! The Thai tea was certainly superior than what I tasted!!! I ordered Spicy Noodle Soup... Bun Bo Hue which was superb & filling! I highly recommend this place! We hope to be back again when we are in Roanoke! Met one I the friendly co-owners, LeAnn as well!!! read more

All the food is literally microwaved. I went here and ordered a large beef pho, you could tell the meat was microwaved, the egg rolls are the same ones you can buy yourself at Walmart. I'd you're looking for good Vietnamese food this is definitely not the place to go. read more

I'll premise this by saying I'm difficult to impress with my Vietnamese food. I thought the summer rolls weren't bad, they actually used cilantro which a majority of places will only use shredded lettuce. The fried spring rolls were delicious and I had them in the vermicelli dish. I thought the dish overall was pretty good, it just soaked up the sauce quickly so I would recommend asking for more sauce. It wasn't crowded at all and we thought the waitress was sweet. It is obviously a family run restaurant. The prices seemed comparable for Vietnamese food. Overall I would say it wasn't the worst or best, if you're new to Vietnamese food I would recommend trying this place. read more

Now to add insult to injury the owners of this place at 3420 Orange Ave. Roanoke - the old Howard Johnson's, it looks like, have denied this food even came from their place ... and asked me to take down my review ... you people are liars on top of the prior review marks I made ! read more

Probably the best Pho I had in Central Virginia. I recently drove to Roanoke to check out how the city is doing during Covid. My gf and I found this place through yelp and we were both craving pho and so we checked it out. Got the Viet coffee, which was okay. But the pho...it is delicious, it tasted fresh, the meat was perfectly cut, and the to go portions are just right. The meatball on the pho was okay. read more

Staff was extremely helpful. Pretty standard dining area but the quality of food was awesome. Definitely give their Pho a try... I will definitely be coming back here read more

We have had the Pho and spring rolls here twice now. Both times it was phenomenal. Definitely my new favorite spot for Pho!

Amazing! So fresh and so delicious! One of my favorite places in Roanoke!!!! Rice Vermicelli bowl with pork! read more

Excellent Vietnamese food Great selection Very clean restaurant and friendly staff Will come back read more

The pho here is wildly inconsistent. I have been several times and had pho with broth that was tasty, pho with broth that tastes like water and pho with broth that tasted "meh." Avoid this place and try Pho Vietnam up the street or even Café Asia. Like others have experienced, service isn't the greatest. From slow order taking to bringing out basil & bean sprouts that should never see the light of day, you have to wonder what they're thinking. read more

Pho was absolutely delicious!! Exactly what we needed on a cold rainy evening. Really good selection, extensive drink menu as well. Can't wait to go back. read more
