Decent reasonable Viet cuisine in an open airy venue. Basic, no frills and friendly enough service. Walk on in and the hostess will direct you to any open table of your choice. Sit down, scan the menu and place your order. For this visit, we chose the #58 BBQ Pork Vermicelli. Within minutes, we had our plate which we split for as this was my late afternoon "touch-up" after skipping lunch. All ingredients were fresh and on point, but nothing really too remarkable about this dish here. Reasonable amount of pork so that's a plus. I wish there was just a tad more lettuce to go with it. Competent no-nonsense meal this was. The service was fast on delivering the water too. VERDICT: Overall nothing too special here, but this fits the bill when you just want something healthier to eat that isn't fast food. Getting Here: The parking lot in this midi-sized mini-mall is rather small given all the stores here, so you have to hunt a little bit. Seems there is also Sam-Trans bus stop just outside, and hey, if you own a Mercedes (we don't), this is a good place to sit down and enjoy a meal while they are fixing your car just up the hill. read more

We used to come here all the time. This used to be our favorite spot. But not anymore after this.... After I got done eating my pho I saw a piece of hair swimming in my soup. So I picked it up with my chopsticks and put it on the side of the bowl. It almost looks like a pubic hairs. Disgusting. Never coming back. read more

We came here extra late around 830 on our long road trip home. It was surprisingly decent. The pho had authentic southern viet flavors. The service was quick and the prices were very reasonable for San Francisco. The ambiance itself was okay, more empty tables, but we were just happy that they were open. The staff didn't speak Vietnamese, which was surprising. However, their flavors were there and that's all that matters to me. Overall 5/5 Thank you for serving us so late and so close to closing time. read more

Pho Saigon - Beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Can't believe I hadn't updated by review from 4 years ago. In that time I've eaten there or ordered take-out dozens and dozens of times. On an chilly Christmas Eve day, I took an extra long lunch and had a hot bowl of Bun Bo Hue. It was spicy and tangy (squeezed 3 lime wedges) and full of noodles and meat. It was fantastic. I wondered why I had not ordered more often. I will not forget about in the future. A great place in my area and one of my Go-To spots for Vietnamese. A special tip of the cap to Karen who has been there for many years and is always courteous and helpful. One pic this time. read more

Pho Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Pho Saigon is a casual eatery located in South San Francisco's Westborough Plaza with a spacious interior serving up Vietnamese cuisine like pho and a variety of other traditional dishes. Many years have passed since I last dined at Pho Saigon, but since Z and I were already at the shopping centre last night (February 1, 2026), I suggested to DJ that we order dinner take-out from here. His immediate response was, "I thought that you didn't like that place?" True, I was not a fan of their phở, but I was willing to try them again for the sake of convenience; at 7:30 PM on a Sunday night, our options were quickly dwindling as the other restaurants I was looking at were closing at 8 PM. Pho Saigon closes at 9 PM on Sundays. The brightly lit dining room was busy, but, luckily, not so packed that I easily found an available table to sit at and peruse the menu. The venue also appeared to be clean and orderly. Pho Saigon's picture-filled menu is extensive, featuring a range of options from BEEF RICE NOODLE SOUP phở to refreshing spring rolls to classic RICE PLATES, each dish showcasing the diversity of authentic Vietnamese flavours at competitive prices. Below are what we order for take-out: CHA GIO ($9.00) - These egg rolls were fried to a perfect golden crisp. I was delighted that they remained crispy from restaurant to home. GOI CUON DAU HU ($8.50) - Good, but these fresh spring rolls didn't maintain their form once bitten, making it challenging to eat without falling apart. MI XAO TOI VOI BO LUC LAC ($21.50) - The garlic noodles were slightly al dente. The filet mignon had an unusual, sweet flavour that I could have done without, but, fortunately, it didn't ruin the dish. BUN THIT NUONG CHA GIO ($18.50) - DJ initially wanted the vegetarian version of this dish, the BUN DAU HU ($18.00) with an added fried egg roll, but since the addition would have cost an additional $3.00, rendering the price to be higher than the one with BBQ pork & egg roll, I ordered this plate for him instead. Some shrimp was found in his food which, to some would be a freebie, but to others with dietary restrictions could be problematic. DJ rated this as OK. CA PHE SU'A DA ($6.00) - Not bad, but less sweet than the flavour we expected. Service was friendly and quick. A better experience I had this time. I might be willing to return and try their BUN RIEU or BUN BO NUONG CHA GIO and smoothies. read more

This definitely is not my favorite pho place, but if you're close and not wanting to go far it could work. We ordered wonton soup with extra egg noodles, chicken wings, and seafood pho TDLR: wings were crunchy but flavorless. Seafood pho had 3 pieces of shrimp and a few balls, totally not worth the 17$. The wonton soup was good and the wontons were tasty, flavorful and freshly made. Good choice. Service/ wait staff is fast however the waitress really skimped on the napkins - they aren't on the table so we had to keep finding more. This place is never that busy so if you want to sit it's nice. But if you're looking for good pho, go to Kevin's! read more

The Bun Bo Hue at Pho Saigon is one of the best Bun Bo Hues I've had and one of the best around the bay I believe. I can't say the same about the other food that is available there, but I typically just go for takeout of the Bun Bo Hue itself because it's that good. The service is always nice. The one taking your order and accepting payment is nice. The restaurant itself actually looks pretty legit although I've never dined in there as I always get takeout. Restaurant is located in the Westborough Plaza and there's plenty of parking and also plenty of other places to get other meals as well! read more

Last Wednesday July 30,2025. As We Get Off Work From SFO it Was Hazy & Cloudy With A Few Drizzles And We Decided To Eat At Pho Saigon. As We Walk In And Choose A Seat And Given Us A Menu And Decided To Order. Food Arrived Like Around 20 Minutes After I Was Overwhelmed As Portions Are Large. The Staff Are Friendly And Fast On The Service. The Ambiance Of The Store Was Great As Per The Location. read more

Pho Saigon - Com Combo 1 - Vietnamese Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Chicken fried rice $17, the chicken was not even 1/4 equivalent to the total amount of rice and super oily. I pointed out the lack of chicken and was asked if I wanted more (thus the third plate). $18 pork chop combo, 2 wings, 1 egg roll, 1 cucumber -very average flavor. Super thin and small pork chops with lots of bone. Service was average. Lots of seating inside. The staff left the door wide open to let the mopped wet floors dry. The floors dried and they still left the door open when it was 51F outside... read more

Came here from the city simply because everything Viet in the city seemed to be closed on a Tuesday. Anyways staff are very friendly and accommodating here however the flavor of the soups were a bit bland. But it wasn't terrible, we would came back as a last resort type of ordeal. Place is very clean and lots of parking spaces in the parking lot. read more

Greetings to All, this review is of the dishes we had today, Beef ball and Tendon Pho soup- Beef and veggie Crape - 2 Chicken Banh mi Sandwiches . Parking: A joint lot shared by all business in the area. Inside of the restaurant: plenty of room for a large dinner crowd with moderate lighting. Service: was ok with the exception of an unknown Asian older man that looked like a maintenance worker who had a large keychain on his side, was the person who gave us our first dish which was the Pho soup, just one thing; while serving the soup with blue rubber gloves on , his Thumb was in our soup Bowl. The Tendons were not fully cooked. Next came the Bahn mi sandwiches: Dry with Old tasting Chicken in them, with a Lack of Flavor and sauce. Next after a while, came the Crape ( Beef&veggie) Not fully cooked and broke apart upon touching it. Because l am a fair person, I will give them 1 more chance in the Future; but not now. read more

Wow, gigantic portions were worth it! We returned yet again for a reliable, quick meal, and sure enough, it was good. It was ready in ten minutes! It is a staple, and many people count on them daily. It was packed on a weekday! Rice plates, pho, you name it, and it was good. Don't believe me? Then see the pictures for yourself (Figures 1-3). We got two thick slabs of pork chop. The veggies completed the meal with good fish sauce. read more

Pho Saigon is in the the Westborough plaza strip and there are lots of other food and drink places in the same sahred lot as well. Parking should be easy and the space that Pho Saigon is in is quite spacious with lots of seating and a wall of windows so not a hole in the wall kind of place. Most recently, In the last few months, I had been here twice and both times I had ordered their Bun Bo Hue(or BBH for short). Think of this as spicy beef noodle soup noodles. Their recipe tastes authentic and is quite solid, although I have tasted better BBH in the San Jose Southern California areas. But for this area it is decently good. Service has been good and overall this restaurant is a respectable place to grab some authentic Vietnamese food. Their menu is also diverse with other choices if soup noodles is not your thing. read more

I had forgotten Pho Saigon existed in this plaza in South San Francisco but a friend wanted to meet up here so I was reminded they existed just a few months ago. There is plenty of opportunities to find a parking spot, just be careful as you cross the roadway to actually get through the front door. It felt like I was playing a game of Frogger, dodging cars, to get safely across. I had visited twice in a short timeframe earlier this year, and both times I ordered the Pho Tai(Flank Steak). Portioning is ok, not generous or skimpy. The broth is decent but far from the best Pho shops. We also shared an order of their Spring Rolls which was also not the best but decent. Service wasn't memorable but not bad either. This is actually a pretty large space so I'm sure they could accommodate larger parties. read more

This was hands down the worst pho I've ever had. The broth was completely bland -- no depth, no flavor, nothing. Pho is supposed to be rich and comforting, and this was just hot water with noodles. I asked for chili oil and instead they gave me some sour, nasty sauce that tasted nothing like chili oil at all. It honestly made the soup even worse. To top it off, the prices are way too high for food this plain and disappointing. I don't mind paying more if the quality is there, but this was absolutely not worth it. Never again. read more

Pricey Bun Bo Hue! My bowl came with 1 piece of pork blood and was severely lacking in sate. There seems to be a lack of care and consistency in preparing their bowls. No beef shank or pork hock is included in the dish either, just brisket and a few pieces of vietnamese ham. I recommend trying other places if you are looking for more authentic flavor. Bowls did come out fast, so that was a positive. Restaurant is dated, but plenty of seating if you are looking for 2 and 4 seaters. read more

We were craving pho and swung by Pho Saigon. My usual order is pho with beef balls. The broth is perfectly salty and flavorful. I ordered a medium and was shocked by how filling it was. We also got the tofu spring rolls and they were delicious. The flavoring of the tofu is addicting and it's for sure a favorite! Pho Saigon is one of our go tos! read more

Been a go to spot for us to get some pho as it's close to home but was totally disappointed that we found a bug in an our soup. Ordered to go and was told to wait 10-15 min. Once we came back home and opened the lid to soup and saw something black floating at the top. Looks like an ant. I can only imagine what else is in the food we ordered that we didn't notice. read more

I came here because I didn't know where to go for pho that's not too far from where I live. Compared to the South Bay, we don't have many good choices of pho around here. The service is really so so but then I didn't expect anything for pho places. Parking can be annoying as even though it's a shopping center parking can get crowded. It's really just a typical pho places so don't expect good atmosphere. The soup is bland and the food is nothing special. It's not bad tasting but nothing would make you love the place. I think the chicken pho is actually bad because they used slices of white chicken breast almost like the ones used for salad. Overall it's alright if you just want some food. read more

I would rate it as a 3 out of 10. I got two of #2 and it wasn't flavorful. I remember as a kid it would be my favorite place but the place has changed and also two. Two soups for a total of $45 is just too much to pay. The other Pho spots I go to is $15. I definitely didn't make a good impression on my friends for recommending this food spot. Also, service needs to be better. read more

Terrible service. We sat down and the woman took our drinks and appetizer order right away. Appetizer came out, but after we finished, the lady was no where to be found. The second woman working just ignored us. I even made eye contact with her and she proceeded to walk over and take the order of the people behind us who sat down after us. The first woman finally came back and she took the order of two other tables who sat down after us. I went up to pay and mentioned how no one came to our table to take our order. She completely ignored it and just proceeded to charge what we got. Such a shame. read more

The Banh Xeo is delicious! Perfectly crisp and the filling is perfect. The service is pretty standard for a Vietnamese restaurant. It's pretty chill not too loud and theres a parking lot but it could get packed. Also theres Quickly next door if you want a drink afterwards read more

Today was really strange! The Pho that's usually so delicious wasn't the same. The broth and meat had such a strong gamey smell that I could barely eat it and ended up leaving most of it. Even the pork in the spring rolls had a strong odor. Even my wife, who loves meat, couldn't finish her meal because of the smell. That was our lunch today... read more

I used to love this place and it saddens me to witness its decline. We came for lunch a couple of weeks ago and we found an ant crawling on our food... The servers were unapologetic and did not replace the food. They only replaced the sauce that the ant was crawling near. I truly wish we experienced better customer service. If that were the case, I would've walked away a lot happier knowing they tried to reprimand the situation. Truly a disappointment. read more

I don't like this place. The service is the best part because they are quite quick. Rice plates and vermicelli bowls are on the small side. The parking lot can be a headache. I usually get the dac biet pho. The broth has more cinnamon and bugs than I prefer. Hence the true reason for giving a low rating. read more

Been going here for quite a few times, and while the food is quite good, the service is dreadful. Be sure to try the pho as it's authentic. Lately, the prices have skyrocketed, from about $11 for a bowl of pho to over $15, so while not exorbitant, I wouldn't say it's anywhere near value. A few smaller annoyances are that they charge for takeout containers (50 cents each), so if you wanna save money, bring your own reusable ones. Also, they don't have real sriracha anymore, so just be aware that it tastes more like sweet chili sauce than the hot sauce you know and love. read more

Came here for lunch at 12:45 on a Saturday afternoon. The place was about half full which is still a lot of people since this place can sit maaany people. I didn't count but eyeballing it I would guess around 90, comfortably. Need to wait to be seated which we were right away. Server was attentive and polite. Was able to order, get our food, eat and converse in under an hour. Place is casual, a bit noisy, clean and brightly lit. Food is on par with our other fav Vietnamese restaurants however I think their fish sauce is not quite as good. And that is pretty major. Bathrooms were nicely decorated, cleanish but they did not have any seat covers. There was not even an empty box left in either of the holders which tells me they don't purposely keep it stocked as they are required by law to so. A star is taken away for that. read more

Came here for lunch and the general service was a little slow when we needed staff but the food came out almost immediately after we ordered it. Nem Nuong Spring Roll - Wanted to get an appetizer that was light to start out with. It was like every other regular spring roll, pretty standard and tasted fresh. Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio: Egg Roll & Pork Vermicelli - Usually what I order if I'm not in the mood for pho and this dish was okay. The portion was huge and I liked the crispy egg rolls the most but the meat was a little dry and the noodles were a bit too stiff for my liking. read more
