    Beef Noodle Soup and Saigon House Special
    Stefani M.

    The customer service is incredible and the food comes out fast, hot and fresh! i have tried many of their dishes and every single one is flavorful and delicious! Inside there is artwork that you can admire and you can even see into part of the kitchen. The Pho is definitely a stand out from them and i would highly recommend getting a bowl :))

    Chicken Vietnamese sandwich and rare steak phu
    Teresa S.

    Great Phu and delicious Vietnamese sandwiches. The best I've had in a long while. Also ordered great spring rolls with peanut sauce. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone that likes Vietnamese cuisine. It's a casual dinning spot and the main chef or the owner/ manager was very friendly and attentive. I will be returning on my next visit to Oregon. I will try the pork sandwich and other items.

    Spicy beef soup
    Sam C.

    First time eating here, staff was super nice! I am gluten sensitive & they were knowledgeable about what items have gluten. I got the spicy beef soup and it was DELICIOUS! Bit of a lemongrass flavor and beef was super tender. I will definitely be coming back!

    a nice cat. that i wanted to add in.

    The food was amazing and had the perfect amount of flavor, and the service was great they put a smile on my face and they were funny. it was a great comfy nice vibe inside very welcoming.

    Saigon House Special pho with eye of round steak, well done flank, and meatballs.

    Driving through Eugene on the way to Portland. Didn't feel like eating fast food for dinner and found this well rated Vietnamese restaurant on Yelp. It's a simple little restaurant without much decoration, but it's clean and spacious. There were just ten tables and only one waitress, and she was pleasant and efficient. Ordered their Saigon house special pho and bun with grilled pork and grilled shrimps. Food was good and fresh, sure beat fast food off the freeway. Wouldn't mind coming back next time we are in the area.

    Pho and grilled pork with egg and rice

    Very good food and service!! They were pretty busy but everything came out quick plus they gave us another free Thai tea

    Good Vietnamese place in a strip mall, really happy with the fast and attentive service. We had two different Pho's (chicken and beef) and salad rolls. All were excellent and prices were ok (competitive to other places). I would be sure to come back here if in town and craving Pho.

    Small portions, especially meat. Pho usually has a lot of substance in it, but not here. Four dishes and all were sub-par.

    Ask the Community - Saigon Cafe

    Are those side sauces that come with the pho gluten free?

    If they contain soy sauce then they most likely are NOT gluten free. I assume the peanut sauce contains soy sauce.

    Is it open on Sundays?

    No closed on Sunday's

    Are there gluten free options?

    I don't know if what they have there is tamari. If you ask at Saigon cafe, they seem very knowledgeable about gluten. I'm gluten sensitive, so I am not the right person to ask.

    Does the pho have MSG?

    No

    Years ago when I was a student at the UofO there was a sandwich shop named Sam's to Go and it was…read moresomething of an institution. They opened a second location in what is now the ARBY'S on West 11th. Their bread was fresh and soft and withstood the topping piled onto their sandwiches. It was heaven and a sandwich was good to get you through two meals. Then they disappeared. Today my wife brought me home a sandwich from Subshop and it hit all the right notes! Fresh baked bread with a great flavor and structure that held together. I had the turkey sandwich and added avocado and bacon. They were very generous with both. Every bite had all of the ingredients and flavors and was perfectly balanced. While this was my first experience with Subshop it won't be my last!

That's what I was going to order so I left. I recently gave them another shot and what a regret that was. Came in and the owners and their entire family were there ripping bags of chips, using foul language, talking about personal subjects not appropriate for a restaurant, etc. I felt like I was in their living room rather than a restaurant. Also, one of them kept on going in and out of the front door every 1-2 minutes wearing a hoody in a way that made me nervous like I need to keep a watchful eye. He was constantly engaging with all the "off" street people and even invited a homeless person inside to go through the garbage to collect recycling. All the while the owners are all there, chilling with their family, and not really caring about cultivating a comfortable environment for their dine in customers, I had enough. To add insult to injury, they got our order wrong. I got up, left, and will NEVER come back again. The worst dining experience of my life

Nicely decorated inside but could use a larger sign on the building. Order at the counter. The matchas come with the homemade syrup of your choice. The Mexican mocha could have used a teeny bit more chocolate and cinnamon, in my opinion. Large selection of milk and milk alternatives. They were pretty quick with the drinks. The food took a little more time but not too long. They're making everything to order so it's not a spot to run in on a rushed lunch break. Burrito was solid with lots of great ingredients and your choice of breakfast meet (or tofu chorizo). The club had good ingredients and they even seasoned the tomatoes (!) but the bread was a little too crunchy (I'm not a fan of toast that cuts my mouth). I'll have to be back soon to try more things. Prices were very reasonable (dare I say good for even lunch prices). Very helpful and friendly staff. I also need to try their pastries! They were getting quite slim by the time I got there around 12:30.

My family rolled in three sandwiches deep fried chicken, hamburger, pulled pork, like we were assembling the Avengers of handheld meat. Every single one showed up and dunked on the others. There was no loser. There was only us, sitting in stunned silence, chewing like we'd just witnessed a religious event. Then the fries arrived with curry dipping sauce and honestly? Rude. Absolutely rude of them to be that good. The cucumber salad was there to make us feel like responsible adults for approximately four bites before we went back to the sandwiches. My daughter has apparently been sneaking off to this place her ENTIRE time at school here and said NOTHING. Not one word. Total gatekeeping.

I was excited for this one, but it ended up being way too salty. The Porker was definitely the standout. Every bite was flavorful, and the sauce was really good. I'd recommend this one. They also have a beer garden next to the food truck where you can enjoy food and drinks. The atmosphere was clean and nice.
