Came here specifically to try the coffee and was honestly really impressed. First off, the place is super cute. You can enter from the outside, but it's also connected to Vinh Hung Supermarket, which makes it such a convenient little hidden gem. The coffee was strong, bold, and sweet, exactly how I like Vietnamese coffee. It had that rich, authentic flavor without being overly sugary. We tried two versions: the yellow foam was the cheese foam, and the white foam was the salted coffee. The cheese foam was interesting because it honestly reminded me a little of Cheese Whiz, which I was definitely not expecting. It was still good and fun to try, just different from the cheese foam style I've had at other coffee shops. The salted coffee was more what I expected from a creamy foam topping and was probably my favorite of the two. It paired perfectly with the strong coffee. Overall, this place is really good and inexpensive compared to Saigon Coffee in North Park. I'd honestly say the coffee here is comparable, if not maybe a tad better, here at Saigon Corner. Definitely recommend if you love strong Vietnamese coffee and want a cute, affordable spot to grab one. read more

prob one of the best viet coffees i've had in san diego!! is super strong, but after you mix it becomes very creamy and has a nice sweetness. they have diff foams, but i like egg because it has a nice sweetness that complements the coffee was around $7, so average for one here but was very authentic yummy rating: 9/10 read more

We were doing a Vietnamese theme YELP foodie adventure and this one was second on our list to try. The authenticity of the reviews attracted me to this place. Some of the comments on Yelp said the dishes tasted like VIETNAM... BUN RIEU: 8/10 I really enjoyed the fried tofu and the meatballs. The salad that came with it was fresh but, I couldn't handle the acquired taste of the sauce. The dish was good but, I feel like it could have had more flavor... GARLIC NOODLES WITH FILET MIGNON CUBES: 8/10 I really liked how the filet cubes were cooked medium rare. The meat meet was the highlight of the dish in my opinion... SERVICE: A+ EXCELLENT service. They were very friendly and welcoming. We paid at the counter and asked for Togo boxes... AMBIANCE: 8/10 It really is located at the corner of the super market. There's a nice patio area. I would not recommend coming in a HOT DAY because they have NO AIR CONDITIONING!!! IF you're planning to have HOT SOUP on a HOT DAY then you better be ready for it! SWEAT CITY!!! PARKING: Lots of parking spaces located near the corner of the supermarket... OVERALL: Worth a try! KEEP IT UP SAIGON CORNER!!!! read more

Tried the garlic noodles with filet mignon cubes at Saigon Corner. Definitely has potential. The broth and flavors were great, and I loved the condiments!!! Especially the garlic, spices, and jalapeños that added a nice kick. The noodles were a bit too soft for my preference, but still tasty overall!!!! Very authentic food, attentive service, and it feels like a nice family-owned spot. Music was a little loud and the space could use some refreshing, but I'd come back!!!! read more

DO NOT GET TO GO HERE!!!! I have no clue how the food is, because they did not make our food order. When I went to pick it up, they yelled at me and told me to leave. You would think they would appologize and take my order. This was my pick for lunch for the office, so we were left without lunch for the day. The food and menu looked so good, but I will never pay to be disrespected. Worst food pick up experience that I have ever had. I almost always leave 5 star reviews, because I own a small food business, and I know how difficult it can be. I wish I could give them zero stars. read more

Went to check this place out because my wife and I wanted soup. She ordered the bun Bo hue and I ordered beef rib soup. Service was great but I think the servers didn't speak much English which was fine because we pointed at the items we wanted on the menu. The food came out and it was a good portion. Both our soups were pretty tasty especially when you add the condiments they had. Wish they offered lime to add like all the other Vietnamese restaurants but the food tasted fine without it. I finished my bowl and my son finished his kids meal. The fried fish with the roe inside was soooooo good! Reminded me of China max back then because they were the only one that had that. There's alot to try on the menu so we shall be back. Inside the restaurant was ok. They had fans inside running because of the heat. Nice little mom and pop shop feeling. read more

Saigon Corner, I ordered mì gõ and bún riêu. The flavors aren't traditional, and I felt like something was missing. On the positive side, the dishes are served very hot. The staff are friendly and enthusiastic, which I really appreciated. The restaurant is small but clean. Parking is spacious and conveniently located next to Vinh Hung market Food: 1/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 read more

Minus one star primarily bc everything took so long, but really all the food was really good! It reminded me of an eatery in OC that I love to go to. They have a ton of different food options which is probably why their service is so slow. The sea snails were amazing, their squid?mango salad was so good, their clams, the rice roll! Seriously everything we had was so good for San Diego standards (not sure if it's good as the food in OC or back in the homeland of VN) Would def come back, but hoping they get their timing and service together. This is attached to a supermarket, so it's really a no frills restaurants. Very casual with a lot of open tables. read more

The menu keeps changing as they are still figuring out what works and what doesn't work. We came at peak lunch time on a Saturday and our food came out quick. We ordered: -Chicken wing garlic fish sauce: This was crispy and seasoning was right on. We liked how it was fried and wanted to try other flavors but got too full. -Broken rice grilled pork: Loved that they offer legit broken rice, the bbq pork was nicely char and moist. The egg loaf was a bit dry. -Bánh canh tôm cua: least favorite out of all. The broth has a thick consistency similar to egg drop soup with starchy tapioca noodles. Broth wasn't as flavorful as other places and lacking more shrimp flavors. -Crispy fried egg noodle w beef: Can't go wrong with this dish. Crispy noodles with veggies on top. -Periwinkle snails in coconut milk: wow, the portion was generous. I prefer the curry broth to be more curry-like, it was more of a watered down coconut curry. -mussels with green onion sauce: This was prepared nicely. You must dip in their sauce to get the whole experience. For drinks, I got the coconut coffee I tasted the coffee and coconut flavors, wasn't too sweet. My friend got the coconut kumquat. She likes that it was refreshing and they used whole kumquats with the skin. She also tasted a bit of lemon and preferred it to be more sour and not so sweet. Overall, this place gives you a glimpse of Vietnamese street food. I like the seafood items. Reminds me of night market. If we come back, I'll get the escargot just because those are bigger than the snails and less effort to eat. You can enter from the parking lot or through the supermarket. read more

We had some questions about the menu (the pho we saw pics of on yelp was not on the menu) but the server did not speak much English. There was a bit of a wait for our food as there was a large (10+) party that was being served at the same time. However the food came out hot and was quite tasty. Favorite of the bunch was definitely the very unique shrimp and crab udon, would definitely come back in for that. Typical casual dine in vibes inside. read more

Decided to come here for a quick lunch after seeing it on a few social media posts from others when the place first opened. Got the beef pho with a Vietnamese milk coffee since it was a cold day. Food came out very quickly and they provided various condiments to add as options. The soup was very flavorful and I thought the noodle was nicely cooked. Not too soft and had a nice chew to them. Would definitely come back here again to try other things on their menu. Overall the restaurant felt very clean and service was great. read more

Located on the side of Vinh Hung Supermarket. Only saw 2 elderly couple dining in. Saw them advertised on FB that they would be serving Chao Long (Pork Offal Porridge) every Thursday and Friday so I stopped in to order togo. Not very many places make this hearty soup. 1st thing I noticed is that it wasn't even that hot when I got home and I only live 5 mins away. Had to reheat it in the microwave. They give a decent amount of offal for 1 bowl and it didn't have a bad taste or odor. Overall 2.5 out of 5. Nothing too special. I wouldn't order it again for almost $17 a bowl. TBH I haven't heard a lot good things about this place but supposedly they recently changed up their menu and they're trying to see what works best for them. Hopefully they can do better. Otherwise, they won't last just like the previous owners. read more

Saigon Corner is the replacement for another Vietnamese eatery that had occupied a corner annex to the Vinh Hung Supermarket in the Village at Mira Mesa. The space was connected to the market through a corridor filled with other vendors. About 50 customers could be seated in the dining area which also had a small karaoke/stage setup next to the main entrance leading outside. Several menu screens were mounted behind the service counter, but I found it easier to read from the takeout menu. The listings were in numeric order, but they didn't seem to follow any logical progression. There was a mix of appetizers, soups, small plates, and entrees on the internal pages. The beverages and desserts were located on the external pages. I selected the Fish Balls with Garlic as a starter and the Garlic Butter Noodles with Crawfish as a main dish. There were three skewers each speared with three fish balls that were sprinkled with garlic seasoning. The exterior was chewy while the inside was not as firm as I expected for the ground up fish. The noodles were served with chopped onions and several pieces of crawfish. A side salad was also added to the dish. The noodles were buttery yet I didn't find the garlic flavor to be strong. The portion size was mediocre for the $17.95 price. read more

If you want Vietnamese food, this place isnt it! Well, actually if you want a decent or an edible meal this isnt the place for you! However, if you are harving and this happened to be the place where you consume your first meal for the day, maybe this is ok, after all how can you go wrong with Rice, right? Well... I was wrong, I opt'd for the broken rice with the sardine/egg, rice was too hard! The sardine was still cold even on the sizzling iron plate. It was like straight from the can to the table. The chicken rice was OMG, how THE HECK can a restaurant serve this OVER fried superdry no taste stale chicken... Should have followed my instinct walk out when there's no customers during dinner time on a Saturday. Why the 2 stars? 1* for the atmosphere, 1* for accepting credit card w/o extra fee. read more

Had cravings for banh cuon and my usual spot was closed, so decided to give this place another try. For a Wednesday afternoon, it was super empty, but I had called my order in so it was ready when I arrived. I decided to add a coconut coffee, which took a while to make. Worth the wait but definitely something to consider if I'm in a rush. It had great flavor, perfectly sweet and had toasted coconut on the top with jelly at the bottom, and definitely had lot of caffeine! The banh cuon I got was the traditional one with the pork loaf. It was good, but I feel like the ratio of meat to carb was off.. I would've liked either a little less rice sheet or more meat. The fish sauce it came with was good and it was a good portion. They have a pretty extensive menu that I would like to come back to try one day though! Give this place a try if you're in the area! read more

Got greeted by an older guy and then pretty much ignored by the 2 ladies who were also working. Had to wave to order food. The bun mam was just ok, nothing too crazy, i've had better. The dry egg noodle was fine, does come with a bone broth. The only good thing is the sugarcane juice, it's freshly made, kinda pricey but i guess it makes sense. The whole place doesn't feel that welcoming, no background music, no ambiance light, staff don't come and check on you whatsoever. Overall, i might just call ahead and order togo or just comeback for the sugarcane juice. Not worth dining in. read more

Came here with a big group to celebrate a birthday, eat some good food, and sang some karaoke. This is a new restaurant in Mira Mesa that offers delicious Vietnamese staples and street food that I haven't seen anywhere else in SanDiego. Items we tried: Chicken Knee Cartilage, Mussels w/Green Onion Oil, Escargots w/Garlic Sauce, Thai Yom Yum Hot Pot, Buttered Corn, Periwinkle Snails Definitively my new favorite place read more

I normally get a bone-in pho but decided to change it up and Ordered a B10 on the menu with grilled beef and egg rolls. Decided to get creative and ordered a small side of broth.

Plenty of parking as well. read more

I've been seeing a lot of good review about this place so we decided to try it. The place is clean and the staff are friendly. The waiting time for the food to arrive is very long. We order udon crab noodle, soup, mussel and French fries. The udon crab noodle come out 15 minutes after we order. The next one is mussel and it took another 15 minutes. We have to ask the staff to do the French fries first since my kid getting inpatient. The fries took 45 minutes to come out and the soup took almost an hour to come out. We end up taking the soup togo since it is too late. Food is okay, the soup is a little salty and they didn't have the ketchup to eat with French fries. We ended up buying in the market next to it. I would not come back since the it takes so long for the food to arrive and if you go as a group, one people finished eating and the other one still not have the food yet. read more

The aroma from this bowl of soup definitely takes me back to the mother land. The broth is bold and promotes the bun rieu's taste. The rieu it self is seasoned to perfection and the cha has the perfect bite to it and just melts with each bite. I haven't had a bowl like this in a while and yes this is better than home cooked for sure. They must have a secret method to bring out the flavor like this I am truly impressed. This hidden gem is worth a visit its attached to a supermarket. Service is fast and friendly in a very clean environment. Im Definitely coming back read more

Came for a late lunch -- definitely better than last time since it wasn't as crowded. The place has a modern, dark-toned vibe that's geared more toward a younger crowd. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and we were greeted right away. We ordered the Saigon Noodle Soup (light, clear broth with shrimp and pork -- a bit too plain for our taste), the Vietnamese Udon Soup (thicker broth with crab and mushrooms -- decent but not memorable), and the Filet Mignon Steak Platter (the best of the three). The beef was flavorful, and the crunchy bread with egg yolk dip was a nice touch. One thing we really liked is that their menu has a good variety -- from noodle soups to rice dishes and appetizers -- so there's something for everyone. Overall, the food was okay -- not amazing, but not bad either. For the price and choices of the dishes, it's a decent spot for a casual date or family meal, but probably not a place we'd rush back to. read more

Ordered some take out from here and was a bit disappointed over the weekend. For the price and the amount of food that you get, it's not worth it. $18+ for tiny little portions. We ordered banh canh(this was decent), snails with garlic(maybe 5 snails) - disappointed, chicken hearts - super disappointed too. We also tried to order the cartilage and also the gizzard but they didn't have any. How does a place have such a limited menu or run out of items on a weekend?! Not sure if I'll want to return with these tiny expensive dishes. read more

The best place to eat. Variety of good food here. Great people and great service. Tired of Pho? Visit this place and Pho will be forgoten.

My family's favorite viet restaurant in San Diego. Completely authentic food that even my picky mom (someone who doesn't like to eat out for viet food because her cooking is always better) approves. Service is friendly. Hope this place survives for years to come. Bonus is their strong viet ice coffee. read more

I live in Mira Mesa and was very excited to try this new gem. It was so good that I took my sister with me the next day!
