So this is a hidden gem in Temple!!! For the central Texas area this is my first time trying Malaysian food and it was called the Mala Delight on the lunch special and it was sweet and spicy!!! Their lunch special comes with fried rice and soup and I got the hot and sour soup and the best one I had in a LONG TIME!! Even their sweet and sour sauce was good but u have to ask for it for your egg roll and the chili oil is upon request which I get it!!! Times are hard and everything isn't cheap so I wouldn't want people wasting it. My uncle got the won ton soup and he said it tastes fresh also!!! I got the schezuan chicken which was good too but if I had to pick I would have just got what my uncle got and that's the Mala delights!!! The jalapeños in it were cooked good and spicy and fresh which I love also!!! I hate undercooked jalapeños!!! They have Chinese food and Vietnamese food also but next time I'm gonna try another Malaysian dish maybe the chili crabs that I seen they look good too!!! The service was great they stayed on top of everything!!! Food came out fast and everything was hot!! Don't let the older building turn u away cause it's clean and u will miss out on good food and service!!!! read more

6/10 Steamed dumplings 5/10 Orange chicken 7/10 Egg roll 4/10 fried shrimp 5/10 cheese puffs I'm in town for work and saw a recent review about the orange chicken. They also said anyone who doesn't try it is missing out... wish I would have gone with the Vietnamese dishes. Everything tasted fresh. The sauce for the orange chicken had little to no flavor. The cheese puffs were ok, I wouldn't order them again. The egg roll was a little better. Fresh, crunchy and good flavor. The dipping sauce, not so good. The shrimp were super over cooked. Barely had any flavor and the texture was very tough. Crunchy outside shell though. The dumplings were not the best and the dipping sauce also not good. Since my hotel is minutes away, I will come back for some pho and spring rolls read more

Wonderful as always. Service, soup,and meal. Have never been disappointed. I have been coming to Saigon Cafe over ten years and always have been impressed. read more

We ordered Pho to share and cream cheese wontons. Service was great, 4 stars! Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Pho was decent, 3 stars. It was a large portion! The kitchen was gracious enough to split it into 2 bowls since we were sharing. And we still had leftovers! I wish we had more sprouts and cilantro on the side. I added Hoisin, soy sauce, and Sriracha. My mom added Jalapeños and Sriracha. Pretty good flavor when we added the sauces. The chicken wasn't the best quality, lots of fat that wasn't trimmed off. The cheese puffs were 2 stars. Nice crunch but simple. They are like crab rangoon minus the crab. read more

The shrimp fried rice was plentiful and yummy I just wish the order size was larger. I ordered shrimp egg foo YUM, , lo mein and Shrimp fried rice. We enjoyed the food and will return next time. read more

This is an Americanized Asian restaurant that serves Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Malaysian food. The lunch special looked appealing, which comes with white or fried rice, a meat dish, an egg roll, and a bowl of soup for a good deal. Some of my friends got it, but I didn't choose it because I wanted to have some vegetables in my meal. I chose the rice noodle with pork, which was okay, and it tasted better as leftovers. My friend got the pad thai and didn't like it very much. They have good service here, but I think the food is too westernized for my liking. The prices are good, and they give you sooooo much food. I had three meals from the noodles. read more

Saigon Cafe - Rice noodle with pork - Vietnamese Near Me - Temple, Texas

I am retired, and because of my health, I am basically "home bound". My friends and helpers love to bring me food from Saigon Cafe. Sometimes I drive with them and stay in the car while they run in and get the food - they always help my friend carry out the food to the car. Our favorite is the Pepper Steak lunch special, because you get soup and an egg roll with it. The taste and seasoning is spot on. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Great food, large portion. One dinner can serve 2 with an app. Thr egg rolls are not as good as once we're. But. Have to try someone. Siagon is hidden gem is Temple great take out. read more

great food. Incredible services and yummy wantons. 10.10! Lovely ambience too. Would highly recommend

Try to eat here once a week. Food is awesome and serving size is always plenty. Great customer service and kind people

Best Asian food in Temple! Love the Singapore Noodle. Great service and fast pickup service! I travel crosstown every payday for my favorite restaurant! read more

It's not Vietnamese authentic food. The only thing that good about this place is price. Affordable and cheap is all I say about this place.

This is a regular go to for us and never fails to satisfy. Wide ranging menu of Asian selections. I'm guilty of staying in my comfort zone for the most part, but when we've strayed, we've enjoyed everything we've sampled. Much healthier than a fast food run, but fast, friendly service makes it just as speedy. Give it a try and you just may become a regular, too. read more

Saigon Cafe - Schezhuan Beef lunch special includes soup and egg roll. Chicken with Vegetables on the plate in the background. Both fantastic. - Vietnamese Near Me - Temple, Texas

Very friendly staff, tasty food, large variety. Would be nice to have combination plates for dinner available like they do for lunch.

The service was great, the food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was delicious. I had the sesame chicken and loved it.

Food was wonderful and the place was comfortable. Service was excellent. Worth checking out.

best orange chicken in temple period, if you haven't tried your missing out. timely and friendly staff as well

Wife and I eat here 1-2 times per month and get delivery 1x per 3 months. We love it. I have been working my way through the non-spicy foods on the menu and everything has been perfect, with large portions. I love the pickled cabbage that accompanies the Lemongrass Beef. The food is consistently good. Wife loves the Pho. Unfortunately, I am HIGHLY allergic to MSG. I am sick as a dog within 15 minutes of eating it and it is not fun. They are careful not to give me MSG and have always told me to stay away from the soups. Once when I needed soup they made a from-scratch vegetable broth that was amazing, and I did not get sick. While the ambiance is a little dated, and the outside a little worrisome, the inside is clean, including the restrooms. We are regular customers now and will eat there next week! read more

Its so hit and miss here. Today I thought I would try something new. Singapore Rice noodles. It says a curry sauce and spicy. There was zero spice, just a hint of curry. The pork was terribly dry and the chicken tasted old. The rice noodles were way over cooked and just mush. Big fail today. read more

Best chicken pho in the entire city. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. There's stir fried rice and other offerings are all equally as good. read more

The food is almost always good, the staff is a bit stand offish sometimes, no matter if it's an older server or a young server. The restaurant is nice & quiet. I just wish they would fix most of the booths that are ripped in the seats. Still love this place though. read more

This is our stop when we are in doubt. Don't let the unmarked building deter you. There's plenty of seating inside for big family and small family dining. We see the same welcoming faces running this place. Their menu has so much variety it can seem overwhelming. Their Asian flavors range from Vietnamese, Malaysian, Chinese which includes Hunan, Mongolian, Szechuan...I might be missing a couple. However everything we've tried has been deliciously satisfying! The food is cooked fresh and aromatic. We have our faves of course, like fried egg rolls with sweet and sour sauce; always fried evenly and perfectly. The interior has mood lighting. Just kidding it's a little dim but pleasant cuz it makes your meal feel private. We're sure to dine here again since this was the restaurant we had a cozy rainy day meal. It kinda stuck with the 'feels like home cooking' factor. read more

I am no longer getting food from here. Over this past year the quality has declined. They no longer put meat in their wontons and at times I have found a hair or piece of plastic my food. And finally today I received rotten fried rice. I've tried this place on several occasions, but I draw the line at food that is prepared improperly. It's disappointing. read more

Was awesome until we realized the chicken was raw in the middle. Would have been perfect with the sauce and how everything was presented if they had actually taken the time to cook it thoroughly. read more

I went in to try this place because I was really craving Chinese. I order the sweet and sour pork, shrimp with walnuts, sesame chicken, calamari, and tiramisu. The calamari just needed some sauce to go with it. The walnut shrimp is a must try. There tiramisu was fantastic. The two other two dishes were safe fall backs but were also very yummy. Give this place a try if you have time! read more

Again I was disappointed with the appetizer and entree I ordered. The Vietnamese spring rolls fell apart when picked up and were sloppily rolled and hard to eat. The peanut sauce was watery. The Beef with Asparagus consisted of good beef with horrible woody shreds of asparagus spears, but NOT ONE SINGLE TIP. Previously when I have ordered this dish, it was beef with asparagus tips, not woody hard to chew stems. I will probably not order from this restaurant for a while to get over the disappointment. Please try to do better. read more

Good food, fast service and regular ambiance. I've only done take out which is why is great that they are fast.

The food was DELICIOUS! Fried calamari was gone in mere minutes bc it was just SO good! Our server was rly nice, and patient as our party of ten ordered. I got the seafood hot pot, and let me say: WOW! It was amazing except for the strange texture of one of the ingredients, but if you avoid those unsettling horse-chesnuts(I think that's what they are) ur just fine. Honestly, it was great there and I will definitely be coming back the next chance I get! The koi-print sink in the bathroom was so cute. read more

The food was delicious. It was warm and the flavors were amazing . The restaurant was a little warm due to the air conditioning being out. The service was good. read more

Food is amazing!!! The spring rolls are the best. Love it!!! I try something new every time.

The food was outstanding!! I was a bit apprehensive when we drove up. It's not "fancy" but was clean. The server was friendly, prompt & helpful. If we find ourselves near hear again we will definitely drop in again. read more

Expect to pay more WITHOUT your knowledge!! We felt scammed. I've been here several times over the past few years, even though I prefer La Dalat Vietnamese restaurant downtown. It was closed though, unfortunately. The food was ok 5/10. When we got our bill, every item we ordered was at least $1-3 more than the price listed on the menu. We questioned the waitress about the charges. She pointed to a tiny sticker on the top right hand corner of the menu stating that some prices will increase. She did not point this out, nor did she advise us of the price increase in all 4 items we ordered, when we ordered. All of the prices were OLD prices! I asked her why the prices on the menu did not reflect the actual prices and she stated that "the prices change every month and we can't afford to print new menus" WHAT????? She advised us that "nobody else complains." I get that restaurants have suffered, and that's why I always choose local over chain restaurants, but this is NOT how businesses should operate if they want to stay open. I'm willing to pay a little more to help out a struggling restaurant, if I know upfront what I'm going to pay. This is not ok and it is highly unethical. We will not be back. read more

The food was fantastic and the portions are huge! Very prompt service, nice atmosphere!

I'm Vietnamese and my mom is from Saigon. With that said I've had pho my entire life and have been to dozens of Vietnamese restaurants. My true test of pho is tasting the broth before adding anything else to the bowl. The broth here is mediocre at best and even with adding hoisin sauce and other spices this place fell flat with regards to flavor. read more
