    This was my first visit to Sai Gon Pho and it is the start of many return visits! A fantastic bowl of pho! Very flavorful, loved the herbs, deep broth and aesthetically pleasing to the eye and definitely the palate! I love adding the chili oil, hoisin and sriracha as well! Great way to customize your own bowl! Very delightful! I really enjoyed the decor and ambiance! High ceilings, colorful but also relaxed. It felt like a little get-away. We ordered a strawberry smoothie that was amazing and refreshing. The appetizers were also delicious! We tried the chicken wings, great sauce! The spring rolls, also refreshing and presented so nicely with a delicious sauce! We absolutely enjoyed the eggs rolls, fried to perfection with another tasty sauce and the fried dumplings also deserve an honorable mention! We will be retuning soon not only for the food! The service was so sweet, friendly and there was such care in preparing a wonderful meal and experience! I have had many bowls of pho in my day, and this pho ranks high! The pho is great and so is everything else! This will be a new favorite! Try it for yourself. I am thankful we did!

    We had a great time at Sai Gon Pho. The service was wonderful and the restaurant is modern with lots of seating. For food, I tried the chicken wing app. It was sweet and spicy, with the perfect amount of heat. Not to much, not too little. My husband tried the meatball pho and I got a combo vermicelli bowl with grilled pork, shrimp, and egg roll. The veggies in the bowl were refreshing and light. The food was perfectly seasoned, and I added their homemade chili oil.

    Wandered in before a movie at Emagine Novi. It's conveniently close if you're looking for a quicker meal before catching a movie. There were plenty of open tables, but it wasn't very busy on a Friday night. I'm not sure how long they've been at this location, but all the servers were very friendly, and I appreciated the screens rotating pictures of their menu. It made their food seem extra appealing. I ordered the P4 with sliced beef and the summer rolls. The summer rolls were different from other versions I've had- This one had a strip of tasty BBQ Meat which I really enjoyed. The pho itself was a solid broth. I wouldn't rank it among the tastiest pho I've ever had, but enough that the broth had a good depth of flavor. Unlike many other pho restaurants I've been to, they pre-add the bean sprouts and Thai basil for you, though they let you add your own jalapeños. Overall, this place seemed like a solid place to go for me. Convenient if I'm in the area, though I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to come here. We'll no doubt wander back in another day sometime soon.

    Broth is very flavorful and not too salty and the beef is tender. It was comfort food full of herbs and Vietnamese seasonings. Highly recommend.

    Came here for a weekday night dinner. Service was friendly and Inside was clean. Ordered fried egg roll and shrimp pho. Egg roll was fresh out of pan and it was crunchy outside and stuffed with ground pork and vegetables. Pho soup had a good flavor with plump shrimps.

    Had a good bowl of Pho. The bowl was a little small (compared to others for the same price $17). The broth was a little lighter than others as well but I preferred it cause it was less salty as well. Service was good. They had plenty of tables, only 1 large booth. Good for small to medium group. Overall it was good and I would return.

    We chose this place for dinner after we visited Twelve Oaks Mall. This area is a commercial haven with every mall variation imaginable...indoor conventional, satellite plaza, strip plaza, etc. This restaurant was in Twelve Mile Crossing, which is basically an outdoor mall that really didn't resemble a town center as much as an urban neighborhood or a downtown side street. But whatever you want to call it, it was a nice feel that created a cool vibe. This particular complex was mostly restaurants with establishments such as Black Rock, a Bar Louie, a BW3 and others. The parking was ample although, because it was a big lot, on a busy night you could end up parking a little way out. The atmosphere was nicely sedate and comfortable when we visited. The dining room capacity was perhaps seating for sixty but there were only a dozen or so patrons when we walked in. It was wonderfully chill. We were seated right away and our server attended to us quickly. She did a good job taking care of us throughout our visit. The menu was straightforward and contained several Vietnamese standards. In addition to the Pho, there were also rice and noodle plates. We were attracted to these in trying to maximize our flavor and limit our calories. I chose the Grilled Chicken which was accompanied by rice, a fried egg and salad. It was well done and the taste was excellent. The sweet dipping sauce (nước chấm) was a nice complement. My wife chose the Grilled Pork Chop with the same accompaniments and she was equally happy with her selection. We ate about half of our servings and each had a small meal to take home. I was happy enough with the value I had hot tea to drink and my wife had water. So with food, drink, tax and tip, our outlay was $32 USD. At $16 per person with another small meal to take home, I was happy enough with the value. We'll keep this place in mind when we're in the area again.

    Went here for the first time and there were many things I liked. The inside was nicely decorated and I liked the set up. The staff was friendly and the service was very good. My friend got the hot tea and really liked it. Now for the just the okay part. I really liked the broth in the pho, however I was not a fan of the noodles. My friend didn't mind them but I was not a fan

    Fresh rolls

    The fresh roll was delicious. The pho I. The hot stone bowl is a little small for the good broth and pho. Wish they had a bigger option. The pho broth was still hot when I finished the pho that is what's nice about the hot stone bowl. Definitely recommended.

    Came to Michigan for work and felt like I was coming down with something 2 days later...I attribute that sitting on a plane for 5 hours so I wanted pho. I'm from SoCal which is one of the premier areas for Asian food and so my expecations were quite low to find good pho in Michigan. Hopped on Yelp and found this place closest to my hotel. Walked in. Decorations are cute. Restaurant seemed clean. I got the egg rolls and the pho they had on promo which was beef ball, flank steak, tripe and raw beef). Egg rolls were good but not served with the usual accompaniments such as lettuce, pickled veggies, etc but the server was nice enough to make a small plate for me. The pho broth had a lot of depth, not oily at all. Noodles were cooked perfectly. Overall I was surprised at how good it was. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that they pre add the vegetables for you in the pho vs serving it on the side. I'd comeback.

    Consider me being so nice leaving this star since i was the one who got to walk back from the parking lot coz someone forgot to put extra rice that i paid for. And the look that i got like i asked for extra free rice when the guy behind the counter asked me to check the box with chicken in it because that's where they put the rice. And now everyone can see themselves.

    Horrible experience with the wife of the owner. Ordered a pork dish and fresh rolls. Ate the fresh rolls. Were bland but edible. The major problem was what they called pork. This was 99 percent fat. I took a bite and spit it out. Complained to the waitress, who brought the lady to my table. No apology was given. She simply advised if i didnt pay for everything in full to include the fat dish, she would call the police. I contacted my credit catd company who advised i would be able to dispute the charges once posted. Avoid this place at all cost.

    Pho!

    AMAZING PHO! The Stone Bowl was still hot when I was trying to scrape the bowl. Hands down best Pho! I will absolutely be returning.

    Eggrolls. Excellent

    Absolutely delicious!…read more We got pho from here atleast 3 times while staying in the Farmington hills area, but every time was to-go, so I don't have any comments on the restaurant interior or service. The broth was served separate from everything else. It comes with cilantro, onions, hoisin (?) sauce, noodles, meat, basil leaves, jalapeño, bean sprouts, lime, spoon and knife, chopsticks, and a napkin! The noodles were always cold and stuck together when we finally got to sit down and eat, but I attribute that to ordering to-go and having to drive back to the hotel.

The service is consistently pleasant and the food arrives quickly.

The menu is strong but limited, which I kind of like- limits decision fatigue, especially after a long day. I ordered the nigiri combo, for the cause. Nigiri is something I've only really gotten into this year, so I'm not an expert, but I know what I like and what I don't. Soft, sticky rice that feels fresh and adhesive but not clumpy, fresh smelling and looking fish. The California roll was a California roll. The nigiri was great however. The shrimp in particular was light and almost creamy tasting? I know that sounds odd but I mean it in a good way. The rest of the fish was good. I even tried eel (this is big for me) for the cause! It was rich and fatty, but not in an unpleasant way as I feared. It was pleasantly sauced, so I was able to try it sans soy sauce and was pleased! I *really* liked the soy sauce here, although they don't give you very much. They also are a bit stingy with the ginger. This was my first time trying tamago, which is a delicately sweetened egg roll stuffed with rice. If you're not used to it, you have to get over the look and just go for it! It's yummy! The restroom was clean but smelled faintly of cigarettes. To be honest... I didn't mind that. It kind of fit with the vibe and gave the restaurant a "real" "edgy" feel, although some people may not appreciate it. The interior is kind of messy and unkempt, but if you keep your eyes on the prize- the food- you'll leave happy!

Also delivered were bean sprouts, basil leaves, jalapeno disks, and a lime wedge, which accompanied the pho so you could dress your pho to your liking. The broth was a bit bland, even with all the extras. Next time, I would like to try both the papaya salad and banh mi. Service was okay.
