I enjoyed my beef/tendon and wonton noodle soup! I called in for my order and it was easy pick up. Cash only. Also tried orders of steamed and fried dumplings. All delicious and cant wait to go back. Food was authentic and the ladies were very nice. read more

If you're hungry for Hong Kong style lunch food, this is the place to go. Not sure why they're named 'Saigon Corner', as they don't have any Viet dishes, but instead all the classic lunch eats that you would expect from HK diners - wonton, soup noodles, lo mein, and more. Highlights from my lunch were the satay beef soup noodle (instant noodle, of course, brings back big time nostalgia). And the baked chicken in rice with white sauce was amazing, too. Marinated chicken thigh, juicy, not fried, over egg-fried rice, with yummy white sauce on top. Perfect. While you're waiting (quick 10 minutes), there's a bubble tea joint conveniently across the street. They're take-out only (March 2022). read more

The beef noodle soup is a must try, so so good! Probably the best beef noodle soup I've had in the states. Cash only! They are not doing dine in right now. read more

So this restaurant does serve pho, so it's not necessarily false advertisement. However, even though I haven't tried the pho at Saigon Corner yet, you're probably better off with the pho across the street, since there's something else good here. This is more of a Hong Kong spot, as opposed to a Vietnamese place. It specializes in dumplings and wonton. Saigon is not a full-blown HK-style cafe, but more of a dai pai dong (street food stall). Honestly, while it's acceptably clean here, I really prefer doing take-out. I haven't deviated much, admittedly, as I mainly get the wonton noodle soup with beef brisket. You don't find many places in the Boston area, much less Quincy, that serves this. So I generally come here for that fix. You get a nice amount of tender brisket but a decent amount of good wontons. The noodles have that bouncy texture and are not mushy. The broth is pretty savory as well. I've gotten the scallion pancakes here but it's mainly due to my laziness and not because they're anything outstanding. Service is okay, with the ever-present lady there always cheerful, especially if you know Chinese. There's more HK-style cafe food like baked pork chop with creamy rice and curry beef stew with noodles. But eh, if it ain't broke with me... n.b. - and, as you can imagine like any dai pai dong in HK...cash only read more

If you enjoy Chinese-style beef brisket noodle soup, this is the place to go! Cheap prices and it gives you a taste of Hong Kong.

A small business in in Quincy that serve cheap, Chinese food. I came here on a Saturday night and it was empty, so I was a bit skeptical, but we decided to try it out anyways. There's about a handful amount of tables and menus posted on the wall. No public restroom and it's a cash only location. I ordered the fish ball noodle soup and my friend ordered wonton dumpling noodle soup. The service is fairly quick as it doesn't take too long to prepare noodle soups, but we were glad to see the restaurant fill up as we ate our meal. The variety in fish balls were good, but a few of them were really hard and just didn't taste right. The wontons were packed full of shrimp pieces, which was definitely different than the standard typical meat I was expecting. The soup broth was oily, but you do get a few veggies. We saw a few people getting takeout while we were dining, so maybe their other options are more suitable than their noodle soups. read more

Saigon Corner - Fishball noodle soup - Chinese Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

This place is very small, I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy. All the tables were full and they had to add tables to a small restaurant. You can hear the conversations from the person next to you. They have 3 staff serving including the owner. It's not a good idea to bring a family of more than 4 here, but bring an empty stomach; the menu is huge! The food is delicious, authentic Hong Kong Chinese food. I always order the wonton, beef brisket with egg noodles. I also enjoy the appetizers, fried wonton and egg rolls is a must try! Check out the photos I attached. read more

Always one of my favorite in Quincy, but it's cash only. And it doesn't open on Sunday read more

Pros: - Such a great hidden gem in the chinatown of Quincy. There's a lot of Asian food to be found here but this is the place I always go back to without a doubt - I was born in Hong Kong, having lived there for 9 years before immigrating and we go back every couple of years so I know what I'm talking about when I say this place is legit. It's hard to find Hong Kong food in these parts of America and most people confuses Cantonese food with Chinese food but this place really knows what it's doing. When I had the first sip of that broth of my Beef Tendon He Fun it transported me back to my childhood home - Very good prices! And very reasonable portions - The owners are just the sweetest. I think it has to do with the fact that we are able to communicate with them in Cantonese that they were extremely talkative to my family Cons: - Being a hole-in-the-wall, this place is not fancy. A lot of you might be put off by its appearance and interior but trust me, it's worth the stay - It's a very small place so seating tends to get a little crowded if you're going during lunch time Specifics: - Wonton Noodles = Man do they know how to cook these noodles. Very few places know not to overcook this kind of yellow noodles and this place knows that keeping the elastic consistency of these noodles is important. The wontons themselves were a bit too big, which most people would actually compliment on but usually wontons are made small so that the skin used to wrap the noodles end up forming a "tail" and slurping the tail is one of the highlights of eating wontons. However, I love this place too much to fault it on something so small and the wontons themselves are filled with bitefuls of shrimp so you know that size did not make the owners skimp on ingredients - Beef Tendon with He Fun = My absolute favorite here and it is what I order every time, without a doubt. The beef is marinated for so long that it's so tender and the shreds just melt in your mouth. Just writing this is making me crave it! read more

The store name makes one believe this might be a Vietnamese spot, but the motto of the store is "A Taste of Hong Kong". As many reviewers have mentioned, this place does really specialize in some of the favorites you would expect from a local "dai pai dong". It is indeed a hidden gem that many would overlook this place when passing by. Nothing fancy about this place. Just a no nonsense place which is cash only to get some good food. For those choosing to eat in, there are no public restrooms available, because the place really is so small and cozy. You will see lots of locals at this establishment, because locals know where to find the best food. The food is indeed quite tasty with their selection of lo-mein, noodles, pho and rice offerings. You should be able to find something tasty on the menu that suits your liking. The motto really fits what they offer in trying to give you a taste of Hong Kong. If you crave HK food, you will enjoy your meal from this place. They also offer a good selection of drinks and shakes as well to go with it. read more

Nothing spectacular about this place. Simple home cooked comfort food made to perfection by genuine mom and pop. My favorites are the mushroom soup dumplings, curry chicken over rice, chicken cutlet in black pepper sauce, beef stew tripe, and chicken cutlet rice noodle soup. read more

This whole in the wall restaurant has delicious Hong Kong style food for an affordable price. My favorite is the white sauce with steak and eggs over rice. Last time I went, they didn't have my usual so I decided to try the baked tomato sauce with steak and eggs over rice. The baked tomato sauce was good, but I like the white sauce a lot better because of the mildly flavored creamy consistency compared to the tomato sauce which has a stronger ketchup-y flavor. Additionally, I love getting the curry fishballs as an appetizer to start. Lastly, their homemade fried dumplings are delicious and a must try! Overall, it's a great place to stop by for a quick homemade quality meal. read more

We had scallion pancakes, curry fish balls, combo of dumplings (4) and wontons (4), and beef stew with wonton noodle soup and everything was delicious and fresh. This wonderful hole in the wall reminds me of an outdoor food stall in Hong Kong. You're there for wontons and dumplings. During busy times be prepared to wait and or share tables. Cash only and no restrooms. read more

This is a simple Chinese take out place with a small menu, which I like. They are the only wonton noodle soup place that I will order our from. Their wontons and dumplings are juicy and full of flavor. I love ordering the wonton noodle soup and sometimes order it with beef tenderloin if I want more meat. They have one of the best baked pork chops with red or white sauce in the area too! Note- bring cash and if you like spicy def ask for their spicy oil on the side! read more

Very reasonably priced and excellent Beef Stew Noodle Soup (the wifey and I had the Wonton and Dumpling varieties). I have to say the wonton and dumplings were some of the tastiest we've ever had (we've had the noodle soup from Boston, NY, Austin TX, San Francisco, silicon valley suburbs, Hong Kong). Authentic noodles were cooked expertly, and the dumplings / wontons had some "secret" ingredients which really elevated the flavor. Oh, you've got to try the hot sauce in the condiment tray on the tables - it's also delicious! We will absolutely be back! read more

Saigon Corner - Dumpling and Beef Stew Noodle Soup - delicious! - Chinese Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

Saigon Corner is one of my favorite Hong Kong style noodle & rice plate joints in Quincy. It's a small, no frills family restaurant that serves up yummy food. Don't be misled by "Saigon" on the front, this is actually Chinese run and often feels like a busy Kowloon noodle house. On any given day you will hear a lot of Chinese talking shop and slurping down noodles here. The price is right and the food is tasty. I love the dry-style Lo Mein here along with their Fried Dumplings. I usually cycle between that and Satay Beef Noodle Soup, which I also enjoy. Their rice plates choices are somewhat limited but good. I like their Porkchop Rice with Black Pepper Sauce. Quick story: My family and I went on vacation overseas for almost two weeks with absolutely no Asian food whatsoever. Straight off the airport we took a cab home, showered, and came to Saigon for the food. It was unanimous, unspoken, and understood because if you are craving delicious home-style Hong Kong favorites in Quincy, you come to Saigon Corner. read more

Tried takeout from this place during the pandemic. The name of the restaurant is misleading since I thought their specialty was Vietnamese foods. Found out after looking at their menu, it's actually HK style noodles and rice dishes. The name Saigon probably refers to an area in HK which is called Sai Kung :) Hence, forrget about Pho on their menu. Anyway, I love all their wonton noodle soup and lomein dishes. Excellent. Best one in Boston, close to the ones in HK and much better than those in Chinatown and Malden. Also you have to try their fried dumpling ... very yummy. Prices are reasonable as well read more

How did I go so long without trying this place?! This is everything I love about a Hong Kong dai pai dong or cha chaan teng! It's a small place that's cash only, but it's totally worth it. The dumplings and wontons are made fresh, the chili oil is homemade, and the food is authentically Hong Kong style. They have a limited menu, but they serve all the Hong Kong favorites: noodle soups, rice plates, spaghetti plates, milk tea, and herbal teas. The wontons are great, and the grilled pork chop plate is one of my favorites. I like that they do a beef brisket and wonton noodle soup. Service is very Hong Kong -- fast and efficient, but cool rather than friendly. I know the name is confusing, but it's not a Vietnamese place at all. The name is from the Hong Kong town "Sai Kung", which can sometimes be translated into English as "Saigon". It probably would've been clearer for them to keep the "Sai Kung" style translation. read more

This little hole in the wall restaurant is no frills and thrills. So if you expect fancy decor, this isn't for you. The food here is Hong Kong style rice and noodle dishes. Most of the menu items are plastered on the wall. Most of the time it's the owner who takes my order and she always in a cheerful mood. I get the sautéed beef with instant noodles, sounds boring but wait til you give it a try. I don't know what they marinate the beef with but it works very well with the instant noodles and broth. I also started off with the fried dumplings, paired with the sweet dipping sauce they give you it's to die for. I've even thought about times to buy the sauce in large portions just to have at home. Be careful with hot spicy oil here, it's actually super hot but makes a simple dish taste even better. read more

I wish Yelp would make the correction that this place serves Chinese food only and not Vietnamese. To be exact Saigon Corner only serves Hong Kong style food, and their noodle soups are hands down the best I've had in the Boston area. Some of my family's favorites are wonton, dumpling and beef stew noodle soup. They also have curry fish meatballs and baked pork chop in tomato sauce with rice that brings back childhood memories of growing up in Hong Kong. They accept cash only and only open till 8pm, closed on Sundays. read more

This family run hole-in-the-wall is a great lunch option if someone at the office is willing to pick it up. Saigon Corner has great variety of delightful Vietnamese dishes that seem authentic. (Every time I go in to pick up, the tables are packed with lots of Vietnamese patrons - gotta be good right?). I love, love, love the vermicelli noodles. Throw in some extra bean sprouts and fish sauce and I am good to go. I prefer the grilled pork - but I hear the beef is good too. Great deal for the price and good for my belly. read more

Saigon Corner - Grilled Pork & Egg Roll Vermicelli -- Yum. - Chinese Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

I only ever get their wonton beef noodle soup, so that's basically all this review is based on. Delicious, recommend it!

Wonton noodle soup - THE best in Massachusetts, I haven't tried any other locations in the rest of the US, so I can't say it's the best of all. It's very chewy and tasty. Wontons are juicy and thin skinned. All other food on menu are good. read more

It's not bad. Portion sizes are pretty good. A little too much MSG in the noodle soup...

If you're looking for authentic Cantonese/Hong Kong style food, look no further!! Unforunately, they were sold out of beef brisket this time since we went there right before closing (it's that popular!!), but I was equally happy getting the noodles with just beef tendons and wonton. Curry fish balls, wonton, and dumplings are must for appetizers. Highly recommend trying the rice dishes and their cold herbal teas too! This is the next best thing to home cooked meals and reminds me so much of childhood! Will definitely become a repeat customer to try out everything on the menu (but the beef stew and wonton noodles will always be on the order ) read more

Don't come in with a group since it only has about 5 tables. Great bang for the buck. Even though the name is Vietnamese, this is more Chinese. The food here is great for a quick bite. I especially love the Iced Milk Tea here - smooth and has tea flavor. Having good and cheap Chinese cafe food is rare these days. This hole in the wall is definitely on top of it! read more

I'm strictly rating this place on the quality of the food and I give it 5 stars. The beef for both the curry beef stew and the beef stew with dumplings soup was so tender. They both had a distinct flavor that was delicious. The beef for the dumpling soup was slightly sweet and had a lot of cartilage and fatty parts. I know some people don't like those parts of the beef but I think that's what really gives it that depth you look for in a soup broth. It also came with crunchy and fresh pieces of bok choy and a thin noodle. The dumplings had shrimp and mushrooms and were so yummy. It tasted even better once I added some chili oil in for some heat. My husband ate the curry beef stew and it was mildly spicy and the sauce was light. It definitively wasn't one of those heavy thick curries. When we called to make the delivery the woman went straight to the point of asking us what we wanted. It's not a place you go to for ambiance and customer service but rather for the food, that's honestly way more important to me. When we got there to pick up our order, we could tell that they were packed with deliveries. Our food was ready in 15 minutes which I thought was really fast. The restaurant was intimate and homey. It gives you the sense that your eating homemade food rather than in a restaurant. Also, our bill only came out to $16 for both meals! Very affordable. ;) Just be aware that it can be a little tough to find parking on this street so it takes some patience. read more

When you walk into Saigon Corner, nothing will stand out to you. Decoration is bare minimum. The wall is covered with menu item names. However, it is reminiscent of the local restaurants in Hong Kong and Macau. The quality of the noodle soup is also comparable (but of course, it is not the same). My favorite is the wonton noodle soup with wide noodle, and sometimes I add in the beef briskets. This place is cash only and the spicy red pepper sauce is SPICY. The sign they put up isn't a joke. read more

My friends and I ordered takeout from this place this past weekend. I got a beef brisket noodle soup. The portion was very generous and I liked the fact that they gave you a lot of lettuce. The beef brisket was a bit chewy and not very tender. I would give this place another try. read more

This restaurant is always so good for when you need some Hong Kong comfort food. The wonton noodle soup is always great and they have the ketchup porkchop dish with spaghetti that I love! It's hard to find seating sometimes but the woman that runs the restaurant always will try to accommodate. Customer service is actually pretty good for such a small restaurant; it makes you feel like you're in your family's dining room back in Hong Kong. This place is a great hidden gem and I hope you all go to try it! read more

Best wonton ever . Even they take cash only and the place a little small but it works my money . Thanks

Best wonton/dumpling and the Hong Kong style beef stew!!! A must try menu! FYI: cash only :) read more

This might be my favorite place to get noodles with wonton and braised beef. I think they call it Lo mein with beef stew and wontons but they mean stewed beef. Their fried wontons are great, too. Cash only. Also, there hot sauce is one of my favorites. I buy their hot sauce to use at home. read more

Lousy food and rude owner for small restaurants always complain about tips. We never step back in again since the last time.

I order for my coworkers weekly. I really like the milk tea and pasta. The last time, I tried the fried wonton, it is awesome as well!!! I don't know which dish is the bad one cuz all of them are pretty good! Incredible place. Strongly recommend! read more

I had to try this unassuming hole in the wall due to the great reviews from fellow Yelpers and I was not disappointed! I ordered takeout - fried egg rolls, beef brisket noodle soup and the pork chop rice plate and the total was a little over $20! Talk about eats. Keep in mind, this is a cash only establishment. Portions were huge and delicious. I'm drooling as I type. The hot oil sauce is no joke either, so good and definitely spicy! I guess I have the option to brush up on my Chinese to ask for the recipe or work on my ninja skills to steal a ton of it. read more

very rude people. I've never seen a restaurant asking their customer for tip. They were asking for tip so my girlfriend gave them some change and they said it's not enough.

As many have said already, this is a place for a quick and cheap meal, but it's quality food. My wife and I had lunch after going to the barber and Saigon Corner was near where we parked our car. Having never been there we decided to test it out. We decided we would have the food be taken out because the place wasn't clean. We ordered the wonton and herbal tea, and once we left and drove home, the aroma coming from the bag smelled delicious. The food is great and so is their homemade herbal tea. I would come here again, but it's a shame they do not accept credit cards. read more
