Very friendly, serene atmosphere! The Pho was delicious and the Boba Tea was exceptional! Will be back read more

I had a serious craving for some fresh spring rolls and so I thought I would check this place out. I chose to go the take-out route and the customer service was great! I ordered the four spring rolls (two of the shrimp and pork and two with just pork), two fried egg rolls and a strawberry bubble tea. The fresh spring rolls were just "meh". I was hoping for something with more variety such as carrots and cucumber not to mention more than only a paper thin slice of pork sausage (which had zero flavor whatsoever). Also I was really hoping for the egg roll wrapper rolled tightly and fried. That part adds some really great textures to fresh spring rolls with pork sausage, but there was none of that. Aside from that, the fried egg rolls were really delicious and I enjoyed the dipping sauce for the spring rolls. The bubble tea on the other hand was not at all something I would order again. The consistency was chalky and the flavor really left something to be desired. Frankly, it gave me a stomachache. Unfortunately, the only place I know of near me that has fresh spring rolls besides Saigon Cafe is 20 minutes away and has difficult hours of operation. I will be trying them out next, but most likely still getting them from this establishment for sake of convenience. read more

Saigon Cafe - Fresh spring roll with shrimp and pork - Vietnamese Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

Came here for lunch recently and everything about the experience was good! Food was cheap and my sandwich (bahn mi with grilled chicken) was delicious! Our waiter was attentive and helped cheer up my partner on a day when she was feeling a bit down. read more

The server was attentive, but very quiet. The food was bland. Ordered the Vietnamese egg roll and chicken pho. Pretty safe and standard, something I used to order all the time when we lived in Ontario- which has amazing pho places! Was hoping to find a place in Kenosha with good pho- this is not it. Will not be returning. Soup was bland, no cinnamon or star anise, just slightly flavored broth. Bland chicken and noodles were a too soft ,almost mush. Bland egg roll, way too thick- not light and crispy with a flavorless dipping sauce. Really wanted to like this place. Should've just went to culvers (and I only like their custard). read more

Nice establishment, it has dim lighting with a laid back feel. The menu is reasonably priced ( $4 beer) and the food was good. Overall: Cute, affordable, fantastic spring rolls. Check it out! read more

Dark brown broth with no flavor, tasted like salt water... I read this a few times in the reviews before I went, but I love Pho so wanted to try out for myself :( my first and last visit!!! read more

Saigon Cafe - Vietnamese Near Me - Kenosha, Wisconsin

This little establishment was a hidden gem that I didn't have any expectations for but came away very surprised. I had the chicken lo mein while my wife had the sugar cane shrimp with vermicelli noodles. Both dishes had great flavor and a good size to them for truly a great price. My dish was under $8 while the sugar cane shrimp was under $10. Again they are very fairly priced. The bubble tea is always a favorite of mine, but go with the coconut you will not be disappointed. After all was said and done we have already ordered twice from them since then, and they deliver as well!! read more

The best Pho and fresh spring rolls ever! Everyone is super friendly and place is nice. Highly recommend

So far the chicken fried rice, raw beef pho, vietnamese fresh spring rolls, lo mein, sheimp fried rice (they put a few shrimp inly which sucks) and vietnamese chicken sandwich are awesome! The gyoza and pork fried rice were not good at all. read more

We have been looking for great chinese food and haven't found anyplace exciting until we came to Saigon Cafe. The staff was friendly and the food was great. We only ordered traditional chinese dishes but everything was quite tasty. We will be back. read more

Family & I drove to this place from Gurnee and comes to find out it's close. They need to update there store hours!

My first visit. Ordered Pad Thai and fried Vietnamese egg rolls. I tend to be a no holds barred kind of reviewer. Given some of the reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect. Color me pleasantly surprised! The egg roll was crispy served with that yummy sweet sauce and the Pad Thai was flavorful, well balanced and just a hint of heat. The portion size was more than I can eat in a sitting. I will go back and try the Pho which I've never had anywhere. Friendly and well kept. I like this place more every time I go! read more

This is pretty bad and I feel bad for giving it 2 stars yet I wouldn't want any true pho fans to expect a decent bowl of pho from here. It's not authentic, the meat is not properly prepped, and you'd have to tweak the broth just to get it at least somewhat decent. Here's one example, Vietnamese pho uses shredded chicken for most of their dishes. This place uses chicken slices you get from a Chinese stir fry. Maybe it's because the owner uses the same materials as his other restaurant which is Chinese. Oh and the banh mi is supposed to be on French bread and lightly toasted not just slapped on. I hope this business changes and I'll be more than happy to change my review... We need a good Vietnamese restaurant here in Kenosha! read more

They are ok. We stopby here after shopping at the outlet mall... we tried their chicken curry with rice & fried tofu pho... i never tried pho with tofu before... tofu was crispy and cooked well... it was a friday night... they werent busy at all... we were the only table they had... i saw 4 people came in to place their togo orders... we also ordered fresh spring rolls. They were pre-made.... spring rolls came out 10seconds after we ordered.... spring roll was cold..... What else can i think of.....? Hm...... you have to order and pay at the counter first before you are seated in the table.... that was a bit weird... we didnt know how much to tip this girl who took our order because we usually tip the servers based on their service(i dont tip server 18% everywhere i eat. I tip more than 20% if the service was good.. if not, i only tip 15%) and we had to tip her even before we were seated at the table... read more

Amazing Vietnamese food! Great service every time I am there. There are many healthy and yummy options to choose from on the menu. Always clean, very awesome place. read more

First visit it's a small family owned location but food was good. Menu is limited and has more Chinese entrees than Vietnamese. We ordered fresh egg rolls, grilled chicken bun and house pho. It was all good esp fresh rolls. Portions seem to be smaller than others we had. I would come back if in the area and recommend. read more

Went there on Monday afternoon for lunch. Was surprised to find the place pretty empty. It was my very first time EVER trying Vietnamese food. I got the Bun with grilled chicken. It was a good size serving, and smelled AMAZING. I almost went back to Saigon Cafe the next day again for lunch. I also got a Mango Tapioca Freeze, and it was really good, but didn't seem to have a strong mango flavor, to me at least...That is the only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 Stars. It was kind of watery. But the food, the service, and the cleanliness are INCREDIBLE. I will be back again, and again... read more

Just had the chicken curry. Not the best I've had. But pretty good. It's a sweet curry that they serve and the ability to mix it from the bowl to the rice is a nice twist. Big serving and I'm a big guy. Filled me up. Price Not bad either. Wil come back to try out some of the other dishes. read more

Had the grilled chicken bun. Wow!!!! Will be back to try the pho.

I love the shrimp and rice noodles! Best quality for the price in Kenosha hands down. And I'm very particular about my shrimp. I always order delivery and they are very fast. I am also addicted to their veitnemese latte, hot or iced! The chicken curry with rice noodles is delicious as well. One of my favorites here in town. read more

Was a huge fan of this place but the last time I ordered delivery it was about 730 p.m. and well they said it would take about 30-45 minutes well....that was three weeks ago. Still waiting, no call, no show. read more

I usually don't write reviews, but after eating here I had to. My mother is from Vietnam, so you could say I am a critic of the food. However, I understand the difference between home cooking and restaurant style. I was so excited to try this place, for a quick fix when I did not feel like cooking myself. I brought a group of ten people on a Sunday around 5pm, it was so empty you would think they would have been happy to see us. Instead, the young blond behind the counter had a terrible attitude from the start. We felt as though we were interrupting her reading time, to put our order in. She argued with my friend over how to order certain items, then proceeded to do the same to me. Service with a smile, was FAR from what we received, and we are a happy and fun bunch of people. I do have to say, the server lightened up a bit once she began serving our food, and probably realized I was not going to tip up front. Aside from yelling at my kids because she did not hear them ask for chopsticks, when we all said bring chopsticks for everyone a few times. I did leave a nice tip, but that is only because I was a server for many years, and the kids made a pretty messy table. Now for the food, this is the main reason for my review, PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE VIETNAMESE FOOD BY THIS PLACE! The PHO, pronounced FUH or even FA, but not FOE, to the server... was pretty tasty, but there were about 5 slices of random meat in my Deluxe Bowl, not good, portion wise. Also, according to the aftermath of this dinner, I am sure the broth was loaded with MSG. The Spring rolls were probably the best thing, and yes they were very delicious. The iced Vietnamese coffee was spot on. Lastly, I got a few Banh Mi (subs) to go. After eating mine, I had to share this review. This Banh Mi was disgusting. The bread was far from a fresh Baguette, the random slices of meat did not blend well, I think there was honey ham somewhere in there, and the meat spread they used tasted like a mix of dog food and canned tune (maybe it was cat food?). I could do this sub better at home with spam and potted meat. It was seriously terrible. My suggestion to this place would be to make sure your sub ingredients are fresh, you are misrepresenting the great food of Vietnam. add some meat to your pho, and drop the MSG, and teach your blonde server some people skills. A first impression is a lasting impression. I will not be coming back for poor service and third rate Vietnamese food. read more

I am a HUGE sushi lover!! This was the first time I tried this joint and was greatly surprised...lets face it not all sushi places are equal. Some either get it or they dont. I ordered take out after finishing up my night class so it was almost their closing time. I called and made my order, the lady on the phone was very nice and gave me helpful answers to my sushi roll questions. I ordered 3 rolls which included the shrimp tempura, California, and rainbow (maybe...I have forgotten already) it had salmon on top. They were made fast and by the time I arrived, about 15 minutes they were ready. I went home and had a lovely feast because they were super delish!! I would certainly order from here again. I think I paid about $35 for 3 rolls which gave me a large amount of food. read more

The one and only place to get Vietnamese food in town! Everything here is absolutely delicious. I've had the house special Pho here and it was out of this world! I've also enjoyed the chicken curry and had the chicken vermicelli another time. All were outstanding and very fresh. The restaurant inside wasn't very busy. I'd expect many place carry out orders. I'll be back for sure!! read more

Strike One.. I have anticipated the opening of Saigon Cafe for some time, as Vietnamese food is one of my favs. I found their menu posted online and today I called in an order. I requested 2 orders of Spring Rolls, but received Egg Rolls, the Grilled Pork Chop Vermicelli and some coconut juice. The food was not particularly special or different.. The sweet and sour sauce was watery and not very sweet or sour. The menu is not extensive but there are some other things that seem worth trying.. we'll see. read more

Ordered beef pho my first time here, good portions, but bland. I was reaching for everything on the table to flavor it some it lacked seasoning. The beef was tough and tasteless, broth very little flavor. My wife ordered steak over rice noodles, it was ok Gave this place anther chance and ordered chicken over rice noodles and their chicken curry special, it was much better, been there three times total the last two were good. read more

I wanted to like this place but .... The food is heavy on noodles or rice. I would like a little more meat with an order. The meat is flavored nicely. We will go back for food again, but I really wanted to love this restaurant, and it is just ok. I stopped one morning for a just a cup of coffee to go. It was burned and bitter like it was left over from the day before. My son ordered a smoothie and the person had no idea really how to make it. It was very heavy on the orange juice. We won't do that again. read more

Solid Asian restaurant in Kenosha. Some things on the menu are better than others. I love the egg drop soup and the garlic shrimp. I often get it with tofu mixed in for the extra protein kick. They are nice and accommodating of that request, making my favorite modified entree perfect every time. I also greatly enjoyed their coconut bubble tea. Can't wait to try the others. Nice for a delicious casual meal at a very reasonable price. read more

Food is a bit on the bland side for me. Everything was very fresh & that's why I'm going 3 stars. I had to use quite a bit of siracha to get some taste to the pho. The spring rolls were tasteless & boring. This is the only Vietnamese joint I've been to, so i don't know if this is normally the case? I've been a few times & will probably go back because of the fresh ingredients. read more

Ok, I've been to SE Asia and had the "Vietnamese Latte" over there, when I had the one from Saigon Cafe, it brought me right back to Cambodia. I have had the pho as well and it is authentic. Most of the other dishes I've not tried so I can't really give a review on, but the coffee there is really, really good! read more

I have been back many times over and over I always crave the beef sandwich and anything with that beef I dont know what the marinade is they use but im completely drooling just thinking about it. I love the pho soup i usually get the special with everything then add lots of hot sauces and extra basil. Yummy I might have to go there today or tomorrow now talking about it. The services is the fastest service I have ever had the food is always warm, fresh and absolutely amazing. read more

Good hot pho tofu dish, tasty chocolate chip cookies!!! Service excellent, clean restaurant, interesting garnishes:.)

Completely unauthentic, and expensive "pho". I am half Vietnamese and I make better pho than what is being served at this place. I have never had to add so much hoisin sauce and sriracha sauce, and that didn't even do the soup justice. Only 5 slices of beef brisket and a little bit of noodles($7.99 for this???). The broth, honestly just seems like brown water, lacked every spice that makes pho authentic. We are never returning again. read more

Been here a couple times. Always great and always fresh! The crab rangoons and fresh spring rolls are delicious. I love their vermicilli noodle salad with fried tofu! And I always have to get a boba tea to go! read more

This place has the best pho in Kenosha, racine, greenfield area. I get the raw beef tenderloin one and it's amazing.

Full disclosure... I know nothing about Vietnamese food and this was my first experience. I had the soup (name escapes me), but it had noodles and sprouts and served with lime, basil and jalapeno on the side. I had the chicken in it. The flavor was very crisp and robust. I've never had anything like it. The serving size was extremely generous. Service was good, prompt and polite. Restaurant was clean with comfortable seating. I had to use the ladies room and it was clean. I am so happy that I expanded my pallet and tried Saigon Cafe. I will certainly be back. read more

Love it! Excellent food and drinks, very kind service. Decent pricing. My only complaint is that sometimes the tapioca pearls in the bubble tea aren't cooked all the way through. I still buy it, though, because it tastes amazing. read more

I've eaten at Saigon Cafe four times now and I loved it each and every time. The Pho is delicious and comes in several varieties. It isn't too "Americanized" but it isn't too authentic either. I mean that in a good way, of course. I've seen places where the Pho was served with tripe and kidney and other organ meat and while that may be more authentic in some respects, it would NOT be accepted here in Kenosha. They struck the perfect balance of maintaining the authentic flavor of the dish while still using top-notch ingredients that less adventurous diners will accept and love. The restaurant itself is clean, classy and the service is speedy and professional. The only drawback is that they only accept cash as payment but this nuisance is mitigated somewhat by the fact that there is an ATM on premises. The menu is somewhat limited, but they have stuck with what they do best and I respect that. Either myself or my friends have tried everything on the menu and it is all very good, and perhaps equally importantly it is consistent in quality. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. Keep an open mind and I'm sure you will leave happy and wanting more. read more

I got the tenderloin pho....wheres the meat at $10 there should of been more than 3 teeny tiny pieces! had to ask the waitress for lime basil...owner told me the sprouts were already in it lol she dd bring me a little on a plate...no one asked me how it was when I paid which was the owner...I will not be going back read more

provided that there aren't many choices of the sort in Kenosha, I have it the highest ranking. foot is fresh and taste, facility is clean, service is pleasant and preparation time is excellence. read more
