This was my first time ordering food from this establishment and I must the food was amazing. I ordered soft spring rolls 9/10, grilled pork with jasmine rice 10/10, pork fried rice amazing 10/10, grill pork Banh mi, and grilled chicken Banh mi 9/10. I must say over all everything was delicious and next time I will eat in for sure 9/10 over all read more

We are regulars in this place bec my son love their grilled pork that I even order it yo DoorDash if he wants it. So we ordered it again and did not disappoint, we also had the soft spring roll and fried which are also good. Since we are frequent here I decided to try something else so I ordered the Pancake w shrimp/pork. It was not good the wrap/pancake is so hard and the filling were just boiled no flavor at all. Not recommended. The service was okay but she forgot my husband's order and so he decided not to eat anymore since we are half way already and I was not happy w my food too. If I am going again, I say yes since my son loves the grilled pork. Just hoping that we get a better experience next time. read more

My Grandson wanted Pho. We had to order out because my Son was working long hours. A search of Yelp found Saigon 1 with great reviews. So that was the choice. My viewing of the menu was quick since we were ordering late. It had been so hot for days that I couldn't fathom ordering a hot soup based dish. So I decided to eat leftovers. My Grandson ordered Pho Tai & Summer Rolls. Oh why didn't I look closer at the menu & see that they weren't fried. Their Rice Paper wrapped offering looked so yummy. But what really made me envious was my Son's Bún Tôm Nướng. It looked absolutely amazing. The shrimp were grilled perfectly & the Vermicelli noodles looked so appetizing. My Son proclaimed it ""Solid", his high compliment. The Summer Roll disappeared before Grandma could sneak a bite. I can't wait to try the exact same entree preceded by the Soft Summer Rolls with Grilled Meat and Vegetables, of course wrapped in Rice Paper. Having ordered delivery I can't speak to the location itself. But the next time I'm on Newtown Road I'll certainly look for the restaurant that prepared such awesome looking food. read more

Went here with my besties for dinner around 6 pm on a Thursday. There was a decent little amount of people in there, but there's plenty of seating so even if more people were inside, seating wouldn't be an issue at all. The service was very friendly and comfortable. I ordered the large P6 beef pho (10/10) and the A2 soft spring rolls (9/10). Overall everything tasted great and came out in a decent timely manner, fresh, and piping hot. I was looking for a new pho restaurant and this was my first time trying Saigon #1, they're def my new go to now. I really want to try their boba next time I go! I spent around $25 for my meal. My overall rate of experience : 10/10 read more

Food was garbage. pho broth was overly extremely sweet like sugar water. ordered a coffee, it came out weak and watered down. wishful thinking but don't waste your time or money. read more

We stopped by here late one night when we were craving pho! The service and the food was absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend!

I was really craving Vietnamese food and this was the only place open. We did come 30 minutes to closing which definitely doesn't make it optimal. But, service was super kind and quick. Both the dishes were delicious and tasted as they should. I was curious about trying the Banh mi because it was $6.95, a little bit cheaper than other places. My only complaint is the bun Bo hue didn't have all of the cuts of meat like pork ankle in it which was disappointing. Overall in both dishes, there wasn't as much food as other restaurants but it still tasted good and the people were nice. read more

Made an uber eat order for pick up, but changed my mind to eat in the restaurant. The staff was accommodating with my change. Great service! I got the P6 Pho Dac Biet, it was delicious, the broth was savory. It didn't come with the usual bean sprout, lime, and Thai basil. read more

Excellent summer rolls. I had the beef summer roll and also the vegetarian tofu summer roll and both were fantastic! I will be back to try more of their dishes. read more

This is the best Vietnamese I've had in the area. Reordering from here in the future. Very flavorful.

I love this place so much! I'm always greeted with a smile! The service is balanced, you are checked on of course but, they give you your space. The atmosphere is calm I love the music in the back ground. I get the same thing every time : chicken pho and pork bahn mhi. The food comes nice and hot. The broth is soooo flavorful and addictive. The bag I mhi bread is so soft like they made it in the oven there! The pork is so juicy and flavorful and I love that they put mayo on it! I can't wait for my next visit read more

Very delicious! This was my first time coming to Vietnamese and not getting pho. My bowl was SO good! I was so happy I chose it. My mom and I were immediately greeted and told to sit anywhere, and it got a little busy while we were in there- I was surprised! The service was still phenomenal. We will definitely return! read more

Must have Pho! Service was amazing...prompt and polite...definitely retuning when back in town.

Just got disappointed at another Vietnamese place and saw that this had better reviews. BUT yikes!! This has to be the worst tasting fried I have ever had! We ordered the beef fried rice, chicken fried and brisket pho. Both the beef and chicken fried rice were AWFUL. No flavor, they were bland which I have never had at a Viet place. Furthermore, the rice wasn't well mixed, as there were several chunks of white rice pieces. The brisket pho was ok but only had 6 thinly sliced pieces of meat. I am highly disappointed. The chef has lost whatever the zeal he/she had that gave them the previous good reviews. I can't see us returning. read more

This was the worst service, twice in a row. At most Vietnamese restaurants I've visited, my pho arrives within about 20 minutes after ordering. I don't understand why it takes 45 minutes at Saigon. Very disappointing. read more

Overall is pretty good. I don't think the broth was overly seasoned. It was a little bit bland to me. Everybody around me seem to really love the place! The wings sound like they're phenomenal but I didn't get chance to eat any. That's what I get for being on the phone when it's time to order. All I had was the pho. Really good portion for being a small. No complaints there! Plenty of beans to put in which I love! And basal too. I did like all the crunchy onions that were put in there. The noodles were a little hard for me. But all in all, I was pretty happy with the place! I think next time I would try either the grilled meats or the wings. Definitely look kid friendly. They take credit cards. read more

Wow! Okay so my husband and I were craving Saigon like from home in Cali. The food here in VA is okay but not like Cali. We were so surprised at how GOOD the food was. We got a chicken bah-mi sandwich and the beef phó and the bread for the bah-mi was so soft ,but with a crunch,and the chicken was perfect. The broth for the phó was so good before we even put all the sauces and stuff we wanted. My husband literally won't let me eat his left overs when we go home. The service was literally amazing. They were so sweet and we had a blast talking with them. The ambiance was really cute and simple and I really liked how big it was inside. The owner was so nice and her staff is amazing. We are definitely coming back.. soon read more

Pho better than Pho79 in my opinion this my third two days in a row this week. The broth is delicious.

My go-to for Pho and Anything Vietnamese food! Service is always great and Food is even more amazing! The inside isn't very pretty, they probably need to renovate soon. Other than that, I highly recommend their Combination Pho, Dried Noodles with Seafood mix, and Grilled Pork Chop! read more

Seated right away on a Wednesday evening. Meat on the ceviche appetizer was a bit too cooked for my taste. Everything seemed Haven't been here in over 7 years and the decor seems the same, but made no difference as it seemed to work just fine. Waitress checked on us often and our food. She was very informative of what was coming out and when. read more

Great little off the beaten path restaurant. My daughter says it the best in the Tidewater area. Very clean, fast service. Friendly staff. Food was hot and tasty. I would definitely recommend. They had lots of walk-in and pick up orders, which is always a good sign. read more

The food is ok but the bubble tea is not bubble tea -- it's a smoothie. Big difference and not nearly as good.

Don't skip this place! Saigon 1 is the best Vietnamese restaurant in the area. I have been going to other places for a long time and this place beats them hands down. Their pho broth is so flavorful, the fresh spring rolls are delicious, and their Banh mi is delicious! Dine in or to go you can't go wrong. Service is really good. Decor is a little dated but I'm not going there for the decor! read more

I came here recently on a food run for my coworkers during lunch. I was really craving Pho, but I don't like having my noodles and broth and other ingredients separated and then having to combine them myself. So I got an order of shrimp summer rolls and a grilled pork chop over rice. I also got a cup of Vietnamese Iced coffee; though I was skeptical they would make it correctly. And I was right. Their Vietnamese Iced coffee was awful. Way too much condensed milk so it was way too sweet! And overloaded with ice. Shrimp summer rolls with the classic peanut sauce was delicious though! Glad to see they don't skimp out on their shrimp. And the grilled pork chop over rice was pretty good too. Pork chop had good flavor, and eaten with the rice was a perfect combo! I would come back here to try their Pho. read more

Small shop and very busy but food is worth the wait. Everything came out hot and fresh. Perfect portion sizes. We both got the fries spring rolls and soups with the pork broths. We finished it to the last drop. We've already agreed to come back and try something different. read more

The service here absolutely gets a 5/5; super friendly and accommodating and my takeout order was fast. Unfortunately the food was quite standard and the beef tasted like it was made from the texture of shoe strings :(. The bubble tea taro flavor was good, but it's a smoothie, not actual tea. There was not much flavor to my meal overall. read more

An absolutely amazing gem :) Came here to try a new restaurant and WOW. everything was absolutely amazing. The Thai iced tea is amazing, and all the different types of pho were delicious. a good variety offered. the service is great and friendly, family owned and it feels cozy and calming. we will definitely be coming back!! we also had someone with a gluten allergy and everything allergy wise was great :) read more

Crazing some pho before the new year and we stopped here for a quick bite. I had the flank and brisket small bowl and hubby had the chicken and shrimp. Started with the crispy spring rolls. The broth was very good and what you'd expect, nothing extraordinary. I'd come back. read more
