Thai Iced Tea
Johnny Y.

I've noticed that there is quite a lot of Viet restaurants around. I thought I'd give a few of them a try. Granted I didn't order any pho. So if you want to read about that you'll have to skip over. I was a bit surprise on the rating scale of this spot vs another where they had high ratings. I don't know about you. But this place is clearly the winner. The porkchop over rice hit the spot! I honestly can't remember the last time I had a good viet porkchop. The flavors, the tender meat and the side of pickle veggies had a great balance. The WINGS. Now THIS guy knows how to bread/fry the wings. Crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Legit asian style fried wings. I only highlight this as I wrote a previous review that disappointed me in so many levels. As for the fried Squid. It was alright. The crisp is there but the squid tasted like the frozen kinds that has no real "squid" flavor. But crunchin on em was still equally pleasing with the sauce given. Although the fish sauce would've been a better choice for dipping but that's just my opinion.

A4. Fried Wonton, $8.49

This is the second time I've ordered to-go from Saigon Cafe. The first time was in Summer 2020 and I recall not being overly impressed. But last summer was nuts and we decided to give them another try last weekend. I'm so glad we did!!! I ordered the veggie and tofu pad see-ew for $13.99. The portion was generous and super delicious! The tofu and veggies were very flavorful along with the noodles. The texture was absolutely perfect. I want it again right now. We ordered the fried wontons as an appetizer and they were also fantastic. The price seems high at $8.49, so I'm not sure we'll be able to get them in the future...but I'm happy to have tried them. The dipping sauce that goes with them is delicious; I'm not entirely sure what it was though. Maybe sweet chili sauce with vinegar? Something to note is that, like a lot of restaurants right now, their current print menu prices aren't accurate. The prices are now anywhere from $.50 to $1 more per item. I think they're waiting for costs to settle before printing a new menu.

Lunch today. My first visit to the Saigon Cafe, corner Elmwood and Utica. Our hostess/server, Jennifer, was very pleasant. When the dishes we'd ordered were set before us, Lynette thought we'd over-ordered. Always easy to do when you're hungry. But we cleaned the plates so I think we'd ordered just enough. The food was all very good. We asked about the weekend brunch, but that is not available yet. Perhaps as things get more normalized. I loved all the windows and the natural lighting of an overcast day. The pressed tin ceiling is gorgeous, but looking up and around, you see things that need dusting. We're all working toward normal, so I'm not expecting every place to be at the top of their game. The food, the flavors, the décor, our server provided a delightful lunch experience.

Pad Thai, no spice with chicken
Rey S.

This is my family's favorite Thai food place in Western New York. We've been coming here for a couple years and have never been disappointed. Our favorites are the classics, Pad Thai and Pad See Ew. Favorite appetizer is the spring rolls. You can get them ranging from "No Spice" to "Asian Hot" and honestly the medium is more than I care to handle, but other folks we know love the heat. Service is super friendly and I even chatting with the cook once. Everyone's incredibly nice, and personable. I never feel rushed here. Lunch prices are more affordable than dinner, and I usually have plenty to take home, so it's always good bang for your buck. We make it a point to eat here every time we're in the area!

Hurry on over to Saigon so you can thai put some good food!!! Headed over here to meet a friend for lunch and we had such a good time with great food! Got there as soon as they opened and seated at a nice window spot, tons of bright light (great photo lighting haha) and served infused water which was a cute touch. Prices are very fair here, especially for the portion! Beautiful presentation for all the food too! We started with fried spring rolls, loaded with the veg and a delicious dipping sauce. I ordered the tofu pad Thai which was AWESOME! Topped with veg, peanuts, and delicious spice (you can choose your spice level also GF options). My friend ordered the crazy noodles (white ginger suave with veg and chicken and flat noodles) which had incredible flavour too! Greta lunch specials! Definitely would get food from them again! Great service and great options on the menu and something for everyone!

Chicken Pad Thai
Hannah L.

Came here for dinner with a friend and had what I would describe as an a-okay experience! We were promptly seated, but the service was really, really slow. I'm a very patient person, but we waited half an hour for our food to come out and since it was just the two of us, we were a little annoyed. People who came in after us were eating before us which was a little perplexing. Our waitress was really kind and kept us posted on our food quite often; she was really sweet. As for the food itself, my friend got the curry udon and really enjoyed it. I decided to order chicken pad Thai, and while I did like it, I found it to be on the blander side. There wasn't any real spice even though I asked for it, and it didn't have a ton of variation in flavor. I wish we would have gotten an appetizer so I'd have more to base this review off of. Their menu is huge so I wouldn't be opposed to getting takeout sometime. Maybe they were having an off night so I still think I'd try eating here again in the future!

N7. Crazy Noodles Dinner
Caitlin S.

This wasn't my first visit to Saigon Cafe. I've been here a handful of times in the past and have had great experiences. Unfortunately, this time I was less than pleased with my order. I called to place my order and the dish I originally asked for was unavailable. I looked at the menu and asked about the Crazy Noodle dish and the person working who took my call couldn't even really explain the flavor of the dish. I probably should've taken that hint and not continue with placing the order or asked for a recommendation, but I didn't do that. As per usual, I was asked what spice level I wanted and I requested medium spice. I had no issues picking up my order, it was ready right in the timeframe that I was given over the phone. To my surprise, when I got home and tried my first bite of the dish, I was instantly dissatisfied. There was no flavor and even though I was asked what spice level I wanted the dish to be, I tasted no spice. I couldn't make it back to the restaurant that evening, so I went back the following day and explained that I was dissatisfied and asked for a sauce or anything that would help boost the flavor of the dish. I was given chili sauce and soy sauce but I requested limes (and fish sauce just in case) as well bc I didn't feel the chili and soy sauces would cut it. They helped a little but I was still disappointed with my meal unfortunately. Overall, this experience put a bad taste in my mouth and I'm not sure when I'll be back.

Pho Xyclo

(476 reviews)

Pho Xyclo was my first sit down meal in Niagara Falls on Sunday 11/23. I've been craving noodle…read moresoup, and I figured pho would be a great option. This place is not far from my hotel, and I'm glad I came. The service was great- I was seated right away, and they explained to me how it works with ordering. The food came out freshly made to order and piping hot. It was pretty busy for a Sunday late afternoon, and yet I didn't have to wait long before my spring roll and pho arrived. The portions are decent, the quality is good, and the pricing is fair. They take cash or Canadian debit here. There's also plenty of free parking on premise that's shared with other businesses in the strip mall. I'd totally come back when I'm in the area again, and I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area looking for Vietnamese cuisine.

Possibly I ordered the most boring and bland dish on the entire menu, Chow Fun Cantonese Style…read moreNoodle. Who knew? Plus, the noodles were stuck together like one big tasteless, noodle brick. I couldn't even pull it easily with chopsticks. I thought I would cry seeing all the happy looking customers around. Most of them ordered soups. My partner's pho looked quite good, but, as he put it, "the broth was below average, the rest of the ingredients were average." Regarding my Hủ Tiếu Xào Quảng Đông/Guangdong-style Stir-fried Rice Noodles (number 606 on the menu), I ate all the broccoli. The shrimp were small and lime juice helped. I totally don't appreciate flower-shaped carrots (didn't eat them, plus celery as well), and the worst, the blob of noodles had no taste whatsoever. For me, it was simply a disappointing experience, but the menu is extensive, and it certainly does not lack a variety of delicious dishes.
