Deluxe bun bowl
Peter C.

Let's start with the fact that I'm pretty biased because the Vietnamese food in Los Angeles/Alhambra rocks the house. With that said, Saigon Bay was pretty good and the high Yelp rating is well-deserved! I got the soupless noodles with pork, shrimp and an egg roll, and it was pretty good! I very reasonable $17 for a quick meal with nicely prepared food and good service!

The food is okay here. It is the most authentic spot in the Temple Terrace area, but I think that it is inconsistent with the pho broth taste. The rice and bun dishes are the best in the area though. I recommend getting the bun (rice noodles dish). The service is very fast, and the staff were very attentive.

Great pho spot !! Very fast service and authentic! The broth here is delicious. I loved the pork egg rolls and that they serve it with fish sauce. Great portions on the pho too.

Crab Rangoon

The service and ambience is great. Food came out fast. I got their pho deluxe and it was great! Portion was good.

My friends and I decided to try Saigon Bay for the first time. They provided good service and answered all of our questions in regard to the menu. We got a ton of food! For appetizers, we had krab rangoon, shrimp egg rolls, pork egg rolls, spring rolls, miso soup, shrimp soup, and vegetable soup. Our favorite items were the rangoon, spring rolls, and shrimp rolls. The miso soup was the only appetizer that was not tasty. The entrees we got were the shrimp pad thai, chicken pad thai, beef pho, and the rice & chicken platter. Our favorite was both pad thai.

So happy I can update my review from over 10 years ago. I went to Saigon Bay over a decade ago, but it's completely different. From reading James review, he reminded me of their awful fire in 2020, and how they rebuilt in this location. So happy to stop by here for lunch with my friend. We loved our server who was like a mom to us as soon as we walked in. I ordered a pork banh mi sandwich, & my server said get the quail appetizer, and so I did. My friend got the beef stew - Bo Kho with bread, not noodles. She did not want noodles. We shared them, and I loved the seasoning of the quail. I also loved dipping my sandwich in the broth of the stew. It was so tasty and had a sweet tinge to it. I also loved the carrots. I didn't love the beef so much but I do love the broth and veggies in the beef stew. It's different bc it's a thin broth not like a thick American beef stew. Everything was tasty here. Our server was so sweet. She spoke very good English and she made sure we mixed and made sure we ate the salad with the quail and made sure we had everything just right before we ate it. We liked our booth and there were other tables as well. The counter area is very floral and bright. It's a great spot, and we definitely adored our lunch. They open at 10:30 am.

Good food, fun server. The Pho's broth is amazing. Bún thịt nướng was tasty however they didnt provide enough sauce.

Shopping mall. Lots of parking

If you're on the fence about which pho place to go after leaving Busch Gardens, stop looking. The best pho our entire party has ever had while dining out. The pho was so perfect that our son said it didn't even need hoisin sauce. The spring rolls both vegetarian and non were also very delicious. They came out quick and not even a bit greasy. The service here was also excellent! Very friendly staff members! We love this place and will be back next time we visit Tampa!

Pho, Chicken
Dennis G.

Driving down my stomach is growling I'm in Tampa and I stop by had the Pho, chicken. It was excellent build a spot. The broth was near perfection.

Pho menu prices as of 2/2024

I have not been here since 2015. I had just gotten interested in pho, but not writing for yelp consistently. I had pho at the then current Fowler location. From what I remember, food was good and the interior was nicely decorated. I tried Saigon Deli later and became a frequent patron for the next 6 years. Unfortunately, the 2020 riots saw this restaurant burned down and seemingly closed for good. Somehow, I never knew that they reopened on 56th in the brick plaza opposite Outback Steakhouse until fellow Elite yelper Rachel L. wrote a review. Inside is a clean, comfortable cafe that can hold about 50 people. There is upbeat Vietnamese music playing. They serve many Viet staples like pho, banh mi, stir fried meat/rice combos, and boba drinks. I ordered pho tai and a grilled pork banh mi sandwich. The pho has a nice broth and there is a good amount of solid food-noodles/beef etc. I'd say Saigon Deli broth is %10 tastier, though Saigon Bay has fresher dressings like jalapeno, mint leaves, and sprouts. 4/5 The banh mi had very crunchy bread, aromatic cilantro and fresh carrots/cucumber, and nicely seasoned meat. The sandwich was about 6 inches in length. 5/5 Awesome! Their pho is $12 and Banh mi are are $7 which are comparable to SDeli and Zen Noodle Bar (I miss $8 dollar pho Stupid COVID lol.) Another pro (for me) is that they are open on Sundays until 9 pm. (They are closed Mondays fyi.) I was going to Zen Noodle for pho the last year, but they seem to have supply issues that is making me lose interest in getting pho from there. Id say Saigon Bay is a great choice for USF/Temple Terrace peeps to get great pho!

Extra chili sate and shrimp paste on the side
Christie T.

This year, making it my mission to find the best Vietnamese restaurant in Tampa. First on the chopping block... 4 stars for food & restaurant category in general. Only 3 stars, in my honest opinion, for specifically Vietnamese food only category. If that makes sense haha Pho and BBH were served piping HOT. It sometimes surprises me how some places will serve me lukewarm warm broth. Like no, I want to burn the inside of my mouth thank you very much. (Hack: if you also like your broth super hot but for your pho meat to not cook too fast, you can order it on the side) Pho was pretty standard and yummy. They use the thin pho noodles. We did have to order extra onions and green onion toppings. Didn't really need to add anything else to the broth. BBH had a good hit of spice. I did add more sate and shrimp paste for more heat and umami. That's just how I personally like my BBH. Will make the note that it had a lot of meat, but they did not serve with the pork hock or blood cubes so I was a bit sad about that. The sate looked like it was made in house possibly?? I'll ask next time I go, but it was actually spicy, whereas store bought sate sometimes not very spicy at all! Posted a quick mukbang on my IG.

I had an amazing experience at Pho 813! The food was absolutely outstanding, especially the Banh Mi…read morepork sandwich. It was perfectly balanced with crispy bread, flavorful, tender pork, and fresh ingredients that made every bite incredible. You can tell a lot of care goes into their preparation. The pho was just as impressive. The broth was rich, aromatic, and full of depth, exactly what you want in a great bowl of soup. It was comforting, fresh, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. On top of the delicious food, the service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Vietnamese food, Pho 813 is definitely a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Quick, good, just what you want…read more Ok yeah I have a soft spot for pho813. It's close to the house, it's great and I'm never upset. If it's cold or there is a heavy rain storm outside there is a 85% chance you will see me here for dinner. It just makes sense. I throughly enjoy a lot of things about pho813. From the sauces on the table to the attentive waiters this is the spot. I've done solo dates, group events after sports and birthday celebrations here and everybody enjoyed their meals. Also the bar seating is clutch for solo outings. I don't have to worry about occupying a 4 top and you can chop it up with the staff behind the bar. Heck yeah. Once I was blocked in by the owner/manager in the car lot (I may have parked in the staff parking becuase it was so busy) and when I told the staff a man came out in full 3 piece suit and we laughed our way to the car and he told me he thought I was apart of the kitchen crew so why not park behind me. A great vibe accompanied by great food. I love this place. I can't wait to come back and try more and more dishes and up those 4 stars to 5!

I also tried their Bo kho which is the beef stew, they have the mini Vietnamese tacos very crispy, and other options like the broken egg rice and vermicelli noodles to pair with pork and fish sauce. They also have banh bo lot which is a popular option people love to get as well as dessert options like making your own Che. Ambiance is a tight space, parking is also tight, you for feel crammed. However, it also gives that homey vibe like as if you're walking into your grandmothers home.. service was good, our plates were cleaned but they do rush you in a way if there's a wait for bigger parties. Unfortunately, it's a buffet style so you can't have dietary restrictions when you come here..

The wife enjoyed a small roast quail for $5 and a serving of 5 garnished clams in the shells for $10. She did not like the $15 garnished bowl of beef slices/pig elbow/cheap canned luncheon meat/and pig blood noodle soup as she says it lacked flavor and she was not thrilled with the cook wiping down the countertop and handling her food with the same gloved hands. I only had a skewer of 4 large chunks of grilled pork belly at $7 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll come back just for the pork belly. The vendors all were very polite and patient as we had many questions about prices and portion sizes. There was a DJ kicking out several nice tunes with his mixer. Nice job whoever you are! You do need to be vigilant when it comes to product prices. For example, a vendor was selling grilled wieners on a skewer for $7 each without bun, or typical condiments. I instead opted for a huge Sam's club polish dog in a bun with large 30 oz. drink with napkins and all the condiments I needed, and I topped it off with a rotisserie chicken, all, for a total of $6.81. There are some vendors with already cooked food for sale before opening. Parking gets challenging after opening so I would recommend arriving 15-20 minutes before opening for a better chance for a parking space. Overall, I had a nice time at Saigon Summer Nights this winter with its fun lively atmosphere and tasty food, for the most part. We will be back for sure!
