This place has authentic viet food. You can access it on the side of Vinh Hung closer to the gas station. Got the pork chop with broken rice. Came with a fried egg, pork chops, meatloaf, rice, picked veggies, shredded pork, and soup. The rice was fluffy, the egg cooked well and the pork chops were soft with a savory sweet flavor. The meatloaf was soft but needed a lil more seasoning. Will be back to try more dishes!
I went here for a few times, and today I tried again the same fish that I tried the last couple time, and I told you this is the best time to put a review on here. It's very rare that I find restaurants in San Diego County that offer this type of food. Most of the Vietnamese food I have seen in San Diego County has been pho. The bun mam he's very good. Definitely try it out and bean that is a local business. Definitely worth a plus because it was not anything that the advertise or anything, but it just happened to find them next to a supermarket! The service is very great. Do you know condominiums are very sweet and very endearing because they would always come and ask me how the food is!
We had takeout from this restaurant, and everything came thoughtfully packaged. My favorite dish was the garlic noodles with filet mignon beef cubes. All of the flavors were spot on, and the filet mignon was perfectly tender. The com tam suon bi cha (grilled pork chop with rice) dish was quite good as well. I liked the garlic fish sauce that came on the side. It was also nice that the broth came on the side, which paired nicely with the rice. The only improvement would be a slightly bigger portion for the price, but I would definitely return!
Saigon Corner is literally located at the corner of the Vinh Hung Supermarket. Our friends were excited to try this restaurant and were kind enough to bring us takeout for us to try. They brought us: garlic steak noodles and the pork chop broken rice dish. The garlic noodles were the star of the show with tender juicy steak complimenting the noodles . The pork chop in the broken rice dish was one of the better bone-on pork chops I have had at a Vietnamese restaurant. Not the largest portions for the price but the food was quite solid and I would definitely get the garlic steak noodles again.
Come back here for lunch time. I have tried broken rice here before and it's pretty good. Today i come back and try Fermented Fish Sauce (Bun Mam) and it's so delicious tho. I recommend this place if you want to try variety of foods.
Great value, great price, attentive staff and of course just delicious. Typical Asian restaurant ambiance but we all know we're there for the food. Corner of Vinh hung grocery store and entrance is on the outside. Ordered the dry noodle with fried chicken, didn't know it was happy hour (2pm-5pm selected days) and got that plus a Chinese donut and a drink for $15. Dry noodles can with a broth with a huge ass bone. So simple yet so clean and flavorful. Menu is more soups and drinks but all done really well. Will for sure be back to try the rest of the menu.
First time eating here! Had bun mam, dry hu tiu, house special broken rice, coconut coffee. Will definitely come back, one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in SD, and we have eaten a lot in SD and everywhere we go. Service; 10/10, very friendly and attentive Bun mam: 8/10, flavorful broth, roasted pork was a good flavor but missing the crispy skin, hence deduction of points Hu tiu kho: 9/10 House special broken rice: 10/10 Condiments: 10/10 love the pickled garlic and sate
Service was very warm and welcoming. Food was so fresh and delicious!!! Definitely coming back to eat more off the menu!!
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.
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!!!!
Good service. Good coffee. Would recommend. Good food. Good ambiance. Very clean and I would come back
My friends and I recently discovered this place which is located behind the Vinh Hung Supermarket. It's connected to the supermarket but they also have their own entrance from outside behind the supermarket. I felt this was a very authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Apparently it was another name and owner before and has been Saigon Corner for about a year now. The staff was very friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the Banh Khot- mini crispy crepe with shrimp, ground pork and squid, Mi Go Kho- dry egg noodles with seafood and pork, and Com Canh Chua Ca Kho To- carmelized clay pot fish with Vietnamese tamarind soup. It was all delicious! I especially enjoyed the mini crispy crepe-little crispy cups filled with bits of shrimp, squid and pork. There's lettuce for you to wrap the crepes in if you like. The carmelized clay pot fish with tamarind soup was very good too. Sweetness from the pineapple chunks in the soup mixed with the sourness from the tamarind and paired with the fish make this a unique dish. Lastly the dry egg noodle was mixed with shrimp and pork was tasty and came with a pork bone broth on the side. I left feeling full but not heavy as the food wasn't greasy . They have Vietnamese desserts and drinks too but we were too full to try. I guess I will have to return to try more items on the menu next time!

Stopped by Saigon Corner for a lunch on a hot day, was relieved that they had the AC blasting. Ordered the dry rice noodle with pork and seafood (Hu Tieu Kho), the pork chop rice, and a coconut coffee. Service was speedy and friendly, and the food was great! I don't often find hu tieu kho at Vietnamese restaurants in San Diego so really excited to find a spot. They have a good variety of dishes, I'm excited to come again and try the rest! #saigoncornersd read more

Food here is delicious ( my scale: delicious is 6+/10, 9/10 means I'll remember it for life). Lemongrass beef noodles Bún bò Huế : 8/10 Quang noodles Mỳ Quảng: 8.2/10 Baked mussels: 7/10 Service is very good. Staff are nice and friendly. I come here for the staff too. read more
This is my new spot for authentic vietnamese food goodness! This is just outside of vinh hung. They have a nice patio area and the inside is comfy but small. The workers here are extremely nice and so helpful with desserts and drinks. I got a bun rieu and I might add its one of the best ive ever had. It was absolutely delicious! Its savory and flavorful with a rich broth. This hit the spot! I love that the noodles was a bit thicker. The waitress recommended an avocado drink dessert. Its really che, but this dessert was refreshing and not overly sweet. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The next time I will try the dry egg noodles. Im sure it'll be yummy in the tummy! read more

I went to this place with my fiancé and it had nice atmosphere. We ordered the chicken rice and it was ready to go. There is room to sit inside and outside. There's a store next door to shop around to wait for the food to arrive. It was clean and will definitely be back. #saigoncornersd read more

Really enjoyed the pho here! The broth was flavorful and comforting, and everything tasted fresh. The portions were generous, and the meat was tender and cooked just right. I also loved the fresh herbs and toppings that came with it-they really brought everything together. The service was friendly and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. Definitely a great spot when you're craving a good bowl of pho. I'll definitely be coming back! 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
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
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

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

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

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

I ordered bún mắm and it was just okay. For $18, it should have more noodles. The bitter melon was undercooked, it was hard and not soft. The broth flavor was okay. Pretty spacey inside. Service could have been better. No one came to check on us once the food was out. read more
