I have been coming here since 2006? I used to come here for lunch with my colleague when I used to work around the area, but now I don't anymore, I still order food here for dinner but to carryout. The place is clean and the service is great. Yes, sometime the service is a bit slack as some of the reviewer have stated but it's mainly during busy times, and I am sure they tried to accommodate everyone. The price is reasonable. The location can be a bit difficult to spot, but it's near the exit to 395? Though i do like this location versus other Vietnamese restaurant because parking is easier to find and not so crazy crowded and fill with smoke. :-D I have tried a lot of the dishes from here but my favorite so far are the following: - com dat biet (special rice something) - bo kho mi (the bread one, not the noodle one - this have tendon so if you don't like tendon, do not order this). - bun bo hue (not a big big fan, but i order this when i'm craving for the pork blood) - mi xao don CHAY (vegetarian fried noodle? their meat one is good too, but I preferred vegi) I have recommend this place to my family and friends; and I have been coming back and will continue. read more

Ladies, one of the sexiest things you can do is pronounce the word "pho" correctly. The only thing that surpasses that is taking down a large bowl of pho. And if you consume a large bowl with all the cuts of the cow...well, then you're approaching goddess status. I say this because I overheard a couple of females calling it "foe". It pains me. Anyway, I was not in the mood for my steak and brisket combo aka "the white guy special" and instead opted for the dac biet. It was alright. The broth was good but I noticed that the meat was lacking. The meat was cut so small that I was going on hunting expeditions to track it down. I also got the cha gio (egg rolls) and they were ok...not very big, but the wrappers had a good crispiness. Service is like that of any efficient pho joint. No pleasantries...just cold calculated service. Overall, I'd go with pho cong ly...however, this is a decent choice for pho if you're in the area. read more

My mom and I always come here if we want pho, we dine in and get the beef broth which is delicious and very flavorful. I haven't tried any of the other dishes but on the pho alone gets five stars:) Also food was quick to arrive and nice big portion size read more

ehhhh place is a mom and pop place needs to be updated and smells like a old persons home. Went here for PHO one night and wasnt pleased with what I was served, Pho broth had no flavor and had to add a bunch of sauce and spice to it to make it flavorful. Pho Noodles were overcooked and meat was ehhh I have had better. The egg rolls here were ok, I have had better. The Vegetarian dishes were blah here, not enough choices and the choices they had were not flavorful. the only reason I gave this place 2 stars is cause of parking and service. read more

Decent pho, from what my dining partner said. A larger and more extensive menu than the other pho place I recently reviewed in Springfield (pho cong ly). The vermicelli with pork & crispy roll was good. The pork was incredibly yummy- both smoky and sweet. The spring rolls are better at cong ly, though, by far. Four stars for a big menu, excellent vermicelli, and quick service. You pay at the register, and they are so fast that they cleared our table before we had even paid for our meal... read more

Ordered large pho with brisket and tendon. It took awhile to come out but was delicious and hot. Delicate clean broth decent amount of meat fresh sprouts and basil and well done toothy noodles. Price was $10.50 and a very good value. read more

This Pho restaurant is great! I have tried a couple different pho restaurants but saigon is my favorite. The noodles and broth are always on point and the owner of the restaurant is very nice. They lose a star for their service. Although the waiters are quick to take your order and bring out your food; they are not friendly at all and they never come back around to ask if you need anything. There have been many times where i would run out of water, but there would be no waiters around to give refills. Overall, this is a great pho place, i go often and have never been disappointed with the quality of their food! read more

I must admit that I come here due to the convenience of location. This is not the best Vietnamese place I've been to, but it is still decent when you're craving standard Vietnamese fare and too lazy to cook. I love coming here for that reason. Service is average as expected for your typical Vietnamese restaurant and the ambience is well...your typical cafe setup where one goes to grab a quick bite to eat and then goes on with their day. That doesn't bother me though; you get what you pay for...no fuss. Summary: This is my first choice of the three Vietnamese restaurants (The other two are located in that plaza with the Giants and Trader Joe's.) within the five block/mile radius. I will continue to dine here when I'm craving decent Vietnamese food and don't want to go all the way to Eden Center. read more

I've ordered delivery from here multiple times already and we love the pho from here! It's so good! The delivery is super fast as well!

I like this place because the menu is extensive, which is always a plus for Vietnamese restaurants that serve Pho. The dishes are pretty much average. The pho is good, not greasy. The meat in their dishes tend to be really fatty, which is why I took a star off the rating. Every beef dish that I've had, including the pho, I've had to pick fat off of every piece. The rice dishes are good, although the vegetables and stuff they put on the side aren't as fresh and crispy as with other vietnamese restaurants I've tried. Bottom line: decent, good selection of vietnamese food, but fatty meat and not-so-fresh vegetables! read more

This is my go-to Pho place. It always satisfies my Pho cravings without disappointment, and cures my hangovers! My husband and I go here at least once a week. I usually order the crispy rolls as an appetizer. I would not say their rolls are my favorite, but I tend to order them every time without fail. I always order the #32 Pho which comes with cuts of eye-round beef. My husband asks for the meat on top that way when it comes to the table the meat is still raw and cooks in the warm broth once you stir things up. The meat is very tender and pretty lean. The service is fast and the prices are also reasonable. read more

Came in here because it was close to my daughter's hair appointment. 1. Took 15 minutes before they brought water. 2. Gave me wrong order 3. Forgot about my drink order 4. Served me frozen meatballs It should never take more than 10 minutes to get pho and water on to the table. Broth is already made, all you are doing is assembling the bowl with some rice noodle and meat. If the pho was good, then you might put up with it, but the pho is 4 out of 10. Never again. read more

I have been a customer for this place a long time. Unfortunately, the food quality keeps declining . I have to make this account to express my disappointment on this restaurant. They just renewed the menu recently, which all of the appetizers and entree items increased by $1. A large pho costs $10.50 now. I was expecting good food quality as they raised the price. This never happened. The biggest issue of this place is inconsistency. Sometimes the pho is good but sometimes it's bad. Today's pho was terrible. The broth was lack of flavor. The white onions were cut poorly with very few slices. I ordered the pho with different part of meats with tendon and they literally skipped the tendon. Also this place has a serious hygiene issue. I had 3 flies hanging around my table all time. This place is not worth to go anymore with this price and the poor quality. read more

If you're looking for cheap, large portions of delicious vietnamese pho then this is definitely the place to go! It's tiny restaurant on the corner that you nearly miss. The outside is misleading as to the service; which is friendly, fast, and very welcoming. The con about this place is now they've removed the LCD tvs that they had on the walls, so now you actually have to talk to whoever you're eating with haha. read more

THE BEST PHO, EVER!!! Everytime I come to visit VA, I must come here. I live on Long Island, and I've tried the pho in various places in NYC and other states. The Pho Chay, hands down is the best at Saigon City. It cures hangovers and prepares me for a night's drinking and other shenanigans with friends. Thanks for being a staple in the community and my heart when I come to visit friends and family in VA. read more

This is my go to Vietnamese Restaurant because it's close to my house. I've had their pho before and the broth is tasty by itself. This time I ordered the gui coun (summer rolls) and the grilled pork rice platter. The summer rolls are fresh but rather thin. The grilled pork rice platter is really good. The pork is sweet. The platter is a good sized portion. After eating both I was satisfied and not overly full. The service is so so, they don't really refill your water. That is my only complaint but I would give this place 3.5 out of 5 stars. I definitely will be back. read more

Adequate place for Pho. Quick service, attentive waitstaff. Usually can get a bowl at lunchtime and be out within 35-40 minutes max, if you are on a time crunch. This used to be convenient when I worked nearby, now I just come and meet former co-workers for lunch once in a while. Had a meal here recently and it was good, hot and flavorful. More so than I remember in the past. Not the best Pho place, but hardly the worst. read more

I really like this place. The portions are large, staff friendly, and prices very reasonable. Plus it's on may way home from the metro! Extensive menu with plenty of Pho choices and many other options. The family combos (called "party dinners") are also a good value and give you a chance to sample the menu with a group. It's not fancy but it's good! read more

Came here twice in one week. First time was takeout for taro bubble tea and Summer rolls. Then back today dine in pho #17 and another taro bubble and summer rolls. Everything tastes fresh. The broth was savory and light. The thinly sliced beef round was generous, more than any other pho joints I've been to. The rolls were excellent; it had bean sprouts which was unusual. The dipping sauce was a little bland though but certainly not at deal breaker. And the taro bubble tea was delicious and reminded me of a combination of ube ice cream and halo halo (and the reason I came back again). The restaurant is clean, the menu is varied, and I love the various paintings of Vietnam hanging on the walls. Definitely one of the better Vietnamese restaurants around. read more

Came in here 15 minutes before closing and was able to order bubble tea to satisfy a late night craving. The guy at the register was super nice, but I docked off one star because my bubble tea came in the slush version and not the liquid-y iced version. I even ordered in Vietnamese and he made me repeat the order, twice! The drink (taro) still tasted great. Two bubble teas came out to be over $8. read more

Really good Pho and lots of menu variety. They could be a little generous with their meat portions though. I always get the "Tai" Pho soup and they always skimp on the meat in the soup. read more

I am pretty picky when it comes to Vietnamese food. They had an extensive menu, made it hard to choose from but it was great to have options. My friend and I had ordered an order of soft spring rolls. Not your typical soft spring rolls, they had sausages in them. It was different and it took a couple of bites to get used to. Overall it was tasty and I would get them again. We also ordered, what we thought was crispy spring rolls but it was a triangle shaped something with shrimp and crab meat in it. Kinda almost similar to a dim sum dish. For our entrée we ordered the typical Pho with everything in it. The soup base was tasty but the soup could of been a bit hotter in temperature. Over all I was happy with my experience and I would come back again. read more

I give the food a 5 but the service is really bad. The serves have attitudes on top of the language barrier and ours even slammed stuff on the table. But the pho is worth it! Its fresh and the broth is really good not to watery. read more

Today we went there for the second time... Just as they open this morning Ordered our favorites spring roll, sesame beef roll and shrimp roll appetizers. All were good , fresh, and served piping hot as expected. My son like the bun Bo hue ( spicy beef and pork soup) here but I think it is average, not exceptional, the pig feet component was not cooked long enough to be tender and flavorful. I ordered the Banh Canh Tom Thit ( Udon with Shrimp and Pork soup) and it was pretty good but not memorable. I like this family owned restaurant and food service. I think the owner lady opened the shop, greet and seat us, took our order and started getting our drinks order ready before the waiter showed up and took over the rest of the service. The owner probably went to the kitchen to do the cooking with her other kitchen staff. Overall, this is a decent neighborhood Vietnamese place where you can get most of your favorite VN dishes to go or eat in before or after a shopping trip to the nearby ethnic grocery stores. It's in a very convenient location, just off the freeway main roads. read more

Not bad. I ordered takeout because I had other plans. There was only three ppl there, so i was pretty worried (you know, if it's dead - that speaks volumes about the food). Well first thing first...they don't accept credit cards/debit cards unless the order is over $15. But since this was my first time there, he gave me a pass...which I'm happy for. I had the chicken with rice vermicelli - very tasty. And it only took about 10 minutes. The place loses a star due to the decorum. But it wasn't like I was there to enjoy it. And I wasn't there for the service either. So I can't comment on those. Overall...the food was good. And that's what matters. read more

I really love this place, taste is perfect. Recomment come over this place to eat. Me and my husband useally come here to enjoy the food.

MY FAVORITE PHO PLACE! I have been coming to this place for years! I always leave satisfied. It's authentic and the food is nothing short of amazing. The pho broth is tasty and different from most places in the area! I also never go here without getting an appetizer! They're all so delicious! You can never go wrong with their crispy spring rolls and summer rolls! Also LOVE the rice platters they serve, if you're a pork eater try the pork rice platter; if you're not, try the chicken, it is just as delicious! My family loves this place and it's definitely a hidden gem in the area! read more

Mmmmm fresh. The selection and ambience us relaxing. They have a great variety of pho!!! Such a treat! Good service! read more

I used to come here regularly. They have amazing food- some of the best pho in all of the DMV, great spring rolls, an assortment of boba. However, their service and ability to stick to COVID protocols is ridiculously bad. The main server at the cashier who also preps to go meals does not wear a mask even upon request (uses it as a chin rest). Additionally, we came in and ordered a to go meal (only one order of spring rolls and a drinks) and it took them 45 minutes and other patrons who came in to eat pho or full meals got their food before us, despite the fact we came in first. We thought this was a one time issue, so when we came a second time and were seated and this happened once more, we were extremely upset. Unsafe and bad service- would NOT recommend to anyone. read more

This place used to be great two years ago. Then it started going downhill. The management is definitely cutting corners. 1. The quality of the broth is what makes a good Pho. The broth as of late is watery and doesn't have much flavor. 2. They gives you about half the meat as other restaurants. 3. They put their chopsticks into these paper sleeves. Great right? However, they re-use the sleeves that other patrons discard! We got a "fresh" set of chopsticks where the sleeves were obviously worn and wrinkled. Skip this one. There are other Pho places in the area. read more

WARNING: Do NOT come here for "pho". If you're craving for some "pho", then go to Pho Hot or Pho 75. Their main specialty includes dried vermicelli noodles/ rice + grilled pork chop + fish sauce. Basically all the dried stuff, not the soupy stuff. That's the best in NorthernVA! ORDER that and you won't be disappointed. Other than that, everything else are just meh. Service is okay. Prices are pretty affordable. read more

Went for my Pho fix today to Saigon City with a former neighbor of mine. I ordered a regular bowl with Brisket and Round eye (#30). The Pho came out in about 2 minutes, pipping hot and gorgeous. I added the jalapenos, mint, basil, Hoisin and Sriracha and went to town. The broth was spot on and full of great flavor. A bit of the fat from the brisket was glistening on the surface, but I paid it no mind. It was defintiely worth the 20 minute drive from my house and I am definitely a fan and would like to try some of the other items on the menu. Parking can be a bit tricky. The prices are great as well. It was extremely busy when we arrived at Noon but was worth every satisfying slurp. Cannot wait to go back!!!! read more

Cute family run joint. The food always comes out fast and oh-so delicious. It doesn't really matter which pho you get because to me they always taste the same but I always opt for the combo. The prices are great, $8 for the smaller sized bowl which isn't even that small, I always have leftovers. The decoration inside is minimal with simple tables and chairs. They are not aiming to be a 5 star restaurant with exceptional service and decor, it's a simple family run place with good authentic food. Come in with and open mind for good soup and nothing else and you won't be disappointed. Oh and good Boba too. read more

I love this place even though i don't get to come here as much as i'd like too! It's very nice good for catching up with old friends with awesome food!!' read more

Before walking in to Saigon to experience Pho for the first time my sister said "The soup is good, be prepared for bad service though". I turned and looked at her with the expression "how bad can it possibly be?".... Well pretty bad. Let's start by pointing out that the waiters are next to lifeless I mean you would've of that someone just murdered their cat by the way they're facial expressions were, think the cartel twins in Breaking Bad that were trying to murder Walter White and you got a perfect comparison to what these two guys were like. I swear if it wasn't for that delicious soup I would gave this place one star I was kind of hopping it was so I could jump on here and write them a beautiful letter. I will continue to patron this location until I find a place with better or equal tasting soup, until then I will continue coming back for my new addiction. read more

I love this place! I always get the Shredded Pork Rolls and a bowl of Pho. It's all flavorful and delicious, I especially love the beef broth! I've had their Bubble Tea too and it's great as well. Some notes: The building used to be McDonalds, so if you can imagine, it's still kind of like a fast food place on the inside. Don't come here expecting beautiful decor and a romantic atmosphere. The service can be hit or miss. They tend not to do refills unless you ask (Soda is in can form anyway), but food always comes out quickly in my experience. The only time I ever have a problem with slowness is when I order bubble tea. I could care less if the waiter is friendly, just bring me my food! read more

This is the best Pho place I have gone to in years. Don't judge the outside until you go inside. The little hole in the wall restaurant has fantastic food. It always comes out quickly and hot. The only reason it didn't 5 stars?? The service could have been a little better - I shouldn't have to ask for more to drink if my glass is empty. read more

Having never been to the area and unsure what would be good this place rocked. Their food was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. read more

Unfortunately, I had to re-edit my survey of this joint. It has gone downhill since last year. They have been using left overs for my Ga (chicken pho). Mostly, the meat is scarce as are the noodles. The meat used is usually the tendons and scraps. I had bone bits for goodness sake in my pho. The surface of the parking lot in the rear is like the surface of Pluto, there's a minimum of like $13 in order to use your credit card, and ask for extra napkins if you are getting spicy food because most times they give you 1 thin napkin. read more
