    A1 Cripy Pork Rolls & A2 Soft Spring Rolls
    Jodie M.

    I usually keep my reviews very detailed, but this will be short and sweet. The pho is magical. There was a day that I felt like I was dying. I had a full day of back-to-back events like a gallery opening, community center event, even a work shift, and I was ready to call it because I couldn't do the rest of the day. But my brother ordered a chicken pho and a beef pho and afterwards?? It's like I was brought back to life. My day could go on and the day went on into the night as if I didn't have a throbbing headache at all. So just wanted to say thank you lol. Usually service is quick. I can give a call and pull up with my order fresh and ready. The only thing I dread is getting into that parking area but that's just Newtown Rd. What can ya do

    Bun w. Grilled shrimp.
    Carol S.

    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.

    P6 Pho Dac Biet
    Zarielle A.

    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

    SP2 Bun Bo Hue
    Jessica T.

    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.

    P6 Pho Dac Biet
    Zhigen L.

    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.

    Bun Cha Gio
    Jessica L.

    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!

I ordered takeout, but the restaurant itself has plenty of seating. When I walked in, I was greeted right away and directed to the counter to order. The service was quick--I didn't have to wait long at all, which is always a plus. I started with the beef skewer, which came with a very small side of salad--just a couple slices of cucumber, some tomatoes, and a bit of lettuce with dressing. It was a nice surprise since I wasn't expecting anything extra, but if you're looking for a real side salad, you might want to order one separately. The beef skewer itself was delicious--tender, easy to bite into, and the slightly charred ends added great flavor. Definitely a solid appetizer or side. For my main, I got the vegetarian pho with extra tofu and no mushrooms, and it really hit the spot. The broth was flavorful and comforting. I added jalapeños and oyster sauce, and honestly, I couldn't eat it fast enough. The noodles and veggies were fresh and satisfying. Overall, a great experience--I'll definitely be back!

But the flavor of the beef was delicious. Sweet, salty, umami, and savory. Service was great. He came to check up on us a few times and refilled our water. There is also a bar section with bar stools and TVs with sports in. Great chill place to grab some good Vietnamese food.

It was also super sweet. My boyfriend tried it and said the same thing. For food, we split two sandwiches: he got the marinated pork and I got the roasted pork. The roasted pork was honestly disappointing--almost all fat. I get that pork has some fat, but this was excessive. Most pieces were barely meat, and the texture was just not good. I ended up picking around it just to eat something. The marinated pork was actually pretty solid. But since the other sandwich was such a miss, we basically ended up eating a marinated pork and what felt like a veggie sandwich. Overall, I think we'll keep looking for other spots when we're in the mood for bánh mì.

The coffee was excellent, strong and well-balanced. The spring roll was fresh and delicious. My only suggestions would be to include less ice in the drink and to use shaved beef instead of thinly sliced beef in the spring roll. I enjoyed my first experience so much that I returned for a second visit. This time, I tried the Peach Black Tea and a croffle with strawberry sauce.
