Hu tieu kho
Kristin V.

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

Canh chua
Christine T.

I love this place! Came for dinner and one look at the menu, I wanted to try everything. They have a lot of traditional vietnamese dishes including dishes I haven't seen in most vietnamese restaurants in San Diego - only from my mom's kitchen. I chose an item from the special menu mostly because it came with 2 items I could try in one sitting: canh chua and ca kho. The ca kho, first bite, it brought me back to my childhood when my mom would make it for me. The caramelized sugar was just heavenly. That sauce on rice is just amazing. The catfish was also perfectly cooked. I would definitely get this again and I highly recommend it. The canh chua was also very good. The sweet and sour notes with tomato is just refreshing. I can't wait to come back to try more of their dishes! I will definitely be back.

Bun rieu
Susie T.

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!

Pork chop with Broken rice
Vanessa H.

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!

Dry Egg Noodle with Grilled Chicken
John M.

I came to Saigon Corner for lunch with my family and was pleasantly surprised. They have a wide variety of dishes that were all delicious! I recommend!

Braised fish
Angelica B.

My husband ordered the braised fish with sour soup and I ordered the banh khot. My husband gave his meal at five star. He enjoyed the taste the presentation. I gave my dish, probably three stars. I think the. it could have been a little bit crispy, and my original dish was not served with enough veggies. I also ended up giving it one less star because there is a billboard that says you will get a free drink with a Yelp review and when I showed the Yelp review, it actually is a free coffee not a free drink. my review, also went down one more star because as I asked for additional veggies, the server just gave me a weird look and did never gave me an answer. My veggies just appeared two minutes later.

Com tam suon bi cha: pork chop with rice dish, comes with a side of broth
Grace L.

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!

Baked mussels- delicious
Hoa N.

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.

Garlic Steak Noodles
Justin C.

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.

Bo ne
Trista T.

I always go here for their Bo Ne and it always hits. Everything is so authentic, I've also had their banh canh, beef rice plate, and coconut sugar cane juice. The staff is extremely friendly! Highly recommend bringing your viet friends here.

Most of the diners were young on the Saturday afternoon we went. Just a few families. Very simple decor but clean. Satisfied with food portions, quality, & price. I like that you can order 2, 3, or 4 rolls for an order and they are a good size. The pork paste rolls were the best I've had. Their dipping sauces are delicious too. Parking is hard to find in the shopping center's lot but there seemed to be on-street parking.

Phuong Trang has been a San Diego staple for decades. It first started in Linda Vista in 1988,…read moreserving traditional Vietnamese family-style meals before moving to its current home on Convoy in 1992. Today, it's one of the most well-known Vietnamese restaurants in the city, and after this visit, I can definitely see why. One of my favorite things about coming here is the location. Even though it's right in Convoy, parking has never been an issue for me. I usually avoid the area because finding a spot can be a headache, but Phuong Trang has a large parking lot that makes stopping by so much easier. I came in for a quick takeout lunch. One thing to know before you go is they don't accept Apple Pay, so make sure to bring a physical card or cash. The staff was incredibly welcoming. They greeted me when I walked in, gave me plenty of time to look over the menu, and never made me feel rushed. That kind of hospitality really stood out. I ordered the Char-Grilled Beef Vermicelli and the Shrimp, Pork & Jellyfish Salad. The salad comes with shredded green papaya, celery, cucumber, carrots, shrimp, pork, jellyfish strips, fresh mint, crushed peanuts, and shrimp chips.The salad was refreshing with plenty of shrimp and jellyfish throughout. I especially liked the crunch from the green papaya. My only complaint was that the dressing felt a little one dimensional. I wish it had a little more brightness to bring out the fresh herbs and vegetables. It was still enjoyable, though. The Char-Grilled Beef Vermicelli was my favorite of the two. It came with vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, pickled daikon and carrots, crushed peanuts, plus five grilled beef rolls wrapped around scallions. The beef had a delicious smoky flavor from the grill. The only downside was that the inside of the rolls was a little chewy since it didn't get the same char as the outside. Even so, every bite was packed with flavor, so it wasn't enough to take away from the dish. Between the friendly service, quick turnaround for takeout, and solid food, I can see why Phuong Trang has stayed so popular for all these years. I'd happily come back and keep working my way through their menu.

This one makes me so sad to write because Phuong Trang was THE place my family ate growing up. We…read morewere here basically every weekend and anytime my parents didn't cook dinner during the week, we were here lol. We also came here for birthdays, graduations, celebrations, pretty much everything growing up. We have SO many memories here and the food was always so good. But the last couple of years, every time we've been here, it's been a miss. We recently got some food to go and the noodles had a really weird/off smell and we ended up not eating them. The squid was also not edible at all, we could barely chew or bite through it. The chicken was really overcooked and fried so much that the meat was super dry and fibrous. And it's not just this one time. We've noticed the same thing when we've eaten here in person too. The cơm tấm dishes always seem to have an off smell and the rice has been hard and cold. I honestly hate leaving a review like this because this place was such a big part of my childhood and my family has so many memories here. I really hope they can get the food back to how it used to be because I would love to be able to enjoy this place again.

They only had a table for 5 but we ended up having 6 people in our party. They were so kind to be able to accommodate the additional person! They had personalized menus that greeted my party and it wished my friends a happy birthday!! They actually got to take the menus home! This was really a nice touch, I appreciated the details. We family-styled everything which is honestly the way to go so everybody can try a little of everything! It was majority of our party's first time dining there. We started off with some drinks, I got the Non-alcoholic Guava Mocktail and I got to try what was the equivalent to an espresso martini too. Definitely liked the guava drink better because it tasted like guava nectar juice (kind of like Kerns or Jumex). The Expresso Martini had fresh mint in it and it tasted earthy which wasn't my cup of tea. For food we started off with the Heirloom Tomato Salad which was DELICIOUS!! I don't know what they put in the Vietnamese Green Goddess (probably fish sauce since all the dishes basically had this) but it was magnificent and one of my favorite dishes of the night. Then the Scallops and the Black Cod came out. The Scallops came in a set of 3 and we cut them in half so we could all have a taste. The sauce on this was DIVINE!!! It was citrusy but still really flavorful bursting with umami. I'm literally starting to drool reminiscing about it xD We wanted to keep it to use on other dishes because it was so good. The Black Cod was also delicious. It had fried skin attached and a sesame soy glaze. Next up came the Beef Tartare and the Wagyu Steak. The Beef Tartare was probably the least flavorful out of everything we ordered, but it was still well seasoned. My friend said it was really spicy but it might have just been her bite because I didn't think it was spicy at all. I like that the give you the option of leafy greens or shrimp chips to eat it with. The Wagyu though, was an all-star dish. It was the crowd favorite for sure, we all enjoyed not only the steak but the picked baby eggplants that come with it, and the sauce was phenomenal!! Lastly came the Dry Aged Duck which is what they're known for. It was definitely the biggest fish out of all. You were able to eat the duck with two different sauces, one they called a "Fish Sauce Chimichurri" and "Vietnamese XO sauce" which is more so satay. My friends liked the XO sauce but I liked the Chimichurri better. They had actually forgotten about the side of Buttered Rice but I was told it was incredibly flavorful on its own so we still asked for it. It had more than just butter in it, there was dried shrimp and sesame seeds, and it was made with coconut milk or something because it had a sweet but savory taste to it. I saved some of my duck and Wagyu to eat with it which was actually pretty good. Overall I liked that they brought out the dishes from lightest to heaviest and especially after they brought out out 2 sides of Buttered Rice we were all satisfied and full. It was the perfect amount of food. Honestly EVERY dish was different but amazingly dank and I think it's the fish sauce in everything. They were also sweet and kept the cake we brought in the fridge, placed the candles on it for us, and even after we sang they cut the cake for us!! 10/10 would recommend coming here for not only the food but the impeccable service!! Since we had a larger party there's an automatic 20% gratuity already added to the bill, which came out to be $555! (Look at that angel number!)
