I love coming here! Some pho places simply don't get the broth right, where it may taste dull and needs lime to be bearable. 100% not the case with Saigon Eatery. Broth is clean, yet has a lot of depth and soul to its flavor profile. True food enthusiasts can tell that this place takes their craft seriously. It's the kind of pho that really doesn't need Hoisin Sauce or Sriracha, but of course those staples are available to use at each table. Don't sleep on the other items of the menu!! The pork bahn mi, Saigon Fries, egg rolls - everything is spectacular. Their Vietnamese coffee is slept on as well. That beverage, is so delicious and can wake anyone up from the dead. The restaurant itself is spacious and has a couple of TVs to the right of the front counter. I'm kind of bummed I typically have to work during their Happy Hour (15% off your order from 3-5PM). I do however, know that if you call ahead - you can still get HH pricing even if you do pickup vs. dining in. Lastly, I can see how service is a hit or miss to other visitors. To me, there's occasionally a slight language barrier. But I just order slowly and try to remain polite. read more

Saigon Eatery - Saigon Fries, so so good! Could totally finish this alone, but the serving is perfect for sharing - Noodles Near Me - Torrance, California

Giving this pho restaurant 3 stars. The pho isn't consistently high quality--sometimes it's bland, sometimes extremely salty, with the soup feeling heavy from too much seasoning. It would be better if they emphasized the natural flavors of the broth and meat rather than relying so heavily on added seasoning. For $15+ tax per bowl, you get a lot of noodles, some meat, and a few veggies, which doesn't feel worth the price. They could offer more meat or a bigger bowl rather than filling it mostly with noodles. Other areas need attention too. The restroom could be cleaned more consistently and updated, the chairs are uncomfortable, and the spring rolls should come with mint and be longer. The egg rolls (3) with a piece of lettuce is overpriced!!! Many things on the menu are overpriced. You can't build long term customers that way. Table sauces are often messy, with leftover sauce left on tops and openings. Staffing seems limited as well. During busy times, tables aren't cleaned promptly and there's often no one to clear space for new customers, making the experience feel crowded and unorganized. Overall, the food can be decent, but inconsistent quality, heavy seasoning, overlooked details, and understaffing make it just an okay experience--not quite worth the cost. read more

This is our go to for Pho now. We normally order take out as it's easier to eat this at home with little ones. They give lots of noodles and the soup is great. I always get the ox tail pho and I can split it between two meals. The spring rolls are always excellent and thats usually our order: Pho and spring rolls. I will try to experiment with something else next time so I can add to the review. I havent eaten in there but the place is clean and the staff is always friendly. Oh and their Vietnamese coffee is really good and really strong! read more

Came here with after seeing so many great reviews. This review is based on our first impressions. The restaurant is located in an L-shaped strip shopping center with a common parking lot. We dined for dinner on a Saturday evening. We ordered two varieties of Pho which were brought to our table in large bowls. At first glance it looked like a pretty big meal. But those hopes were dashed when we realized the bowls contained a whole lot of noodles and broth and very little meat. I mean a really little portion of meat. The pho lacked flavor and needed a good dose of the chili that was at the table. Everything considered we got two bowels of noodles and a little meat. The spring rolls were okay. They looked good but were a bit overcooked. The cashier was very nice. He told us they were out of pork chops (that my guest wanted to order). Other than that he was polite and brought us our food. I'd like to say I'll go try this place again. After all it was clean and friendly. But the seating on cold metal chairs was uncomfortable and, as I said, the food totally failed to impress. There are plenty of other Vietnamese restaurants so next time I'll try another read more

This is the first of its kind--almost like a fast casual Vietnamese eatery. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you on a tray. Once you're done, you bus your own table. Now on to the food. The portions were really big! My husband got the vermicelli bowl with chicken. It was large enough for two meals! However, I docked one star bc it didn't come with an egg roll. Usually a dish like that comes with an egg roll. We ended up ordering as an appetizer. Kinda steep tho. $8 for 3..is that the going rate these days? I ordered the special pho. It was pretty good, but I've had better. read more

One of my ultimate comfort foods is pho, so I've tried my fair share of pho spots. After my dental appointment today, I decided to finally try this place,and I'm so glad I did. The food was really good. I ordered the Saigon pho with egg rolls, while my husband got the banh mi, and honestly, everything was delicious. Special shoutout to the broth and noodles of the pho, so flavorful and comforting. Also, don't skip their Thai tea. No need for boba, the Thai tea alone is already perfect. read more

Let's start with the positives. The food was fresh, everything looked pretty, and they provided all of the condiments needed. I also appreciate how fast I received my order. Came right on time and was still hot. I ordered delivery through DoorDash. I've never been to this location and decided to try them for the first time. I ordered the oxtail pho, the broth had a nice flavor they give you a lot of broth and noodles. I've never tried oxtail pho before and I love oxtail so I figured this should be a good choice. The oxtail itself had a lot of fat and the meat was flavorless. Definitely wouldn't order it again. When combined with the soup noodles hoisin sauce, and some Sriracha it's pretty decent. I was hoping there would be flavor. It kind of taste like they boiled it. Wasn't a big fan at all. The meat was tender, so that was a plus. I ordered their egg rolls. Those were nice and crunchy. Pretty good flavor. Side note: my dipping sauce had a long curly hair in it so whoever works in the back might want to put on a hairnet. I understand the mistakes happen though. I also ordered their garlic noodles. These were fresh and flavorful. Had a nice garlicy taste I added shrimp those were delicious. This was my favorite item. I also ordered their salad. It was really pretty and bright. It came with a fish sauce I think, on the side. Really refreshing nice flavors. I also ordered their sandwich. Grilled beef banh mi. It was pretty good. The vegetables inside we're fresh. Nice and crunchy. No complaints. I also ordered their Ube coffee and Thai tea. The Ube coffee had great flavor, the Thai tea was really good as well read more

Very good pho! I got the shrimp pho (it still has beef broth) and it was exactly what I was looking for. The shrimp were very fresh tasting and broth was tasty! I wouldn't recommend the garlic noodles as it was lacking the flavor I'm used to in this dish. Shrimp spring rolls and peanut sauce was very tasty! I placed the order online and was ready within 15 minutes. I would come back again for a nice affordable bowl of pho! read more

UPDATE since review: They were out of ube so I was just given a plain coffee which my friend said tasted bad (she was also handed something different than what she ordered and also wasn't told beforehand). When I saw the plain coffee right away I said I couldn't drink that and asked if it's possible to get the matcha milk tea instead which she said yes to. However when it came out it was again different than what was said--there was no matcha and it was just plain tea. I understand that it was a freebie but still disappointing that we weren't told about the change beforehand as we were expecting something else. In hindsight I would recommend getting the free appetizer instead, though I was really looking forward to reviewing the drinks here and the drink menu looked better than it really was. Surprised the service took a turn for the worse after we wrote the review and negated our opinion prior to it. We were practically ignored for a while after we showed that the review was done. It was very weird and wouldn't go back now to be honest. PREVIOUS: The oxtail soup here is delicious. My friend got the garlic noodles which was also good. Service was quick and friendly--our food came out pretty fast. They were also great with discussing food allergies which is much appreciated and the biggest reason for the five stars! Ambiance is good; it's family friendly. Got the ube coffee for free drink :) read more

I've been trying different Vietnamese restaurants around town, looking for a place with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors, and that's how I discovered Saigon Eatery. After reading the reviews, I decided to visit a few times with friends, coworkers, and my husband, and every time the food has been truly delicious. What impressed me the most was their Vietnamese sandwich (banh mi). In my opinion, it's the best in our neighborhood. The bread is not too thick, perfectly sized, and the fillings are generous. The texture and balance were just perfect. The noodle soup was also excellent--not greasy, but clean and flavorful. Overall, this place has quickly become one of my favorites. read more

Came because a friend recommended this place. It's a pretty small restaurant and doesn't have an overwhelming menu. We ordered on the kiosk, my only complaint is you can't make any notes or changes to your order on that so you have to grab someone to let them know. It took about 10 minutes for our food to be ready. I order the filet mignon pho and my husband ordered the garlic noodles with beef. I'd give the pho 8.5/10. The price is great for the portion. The meat was perfect and the flavor tasted great. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the garlic noodles. They came out lacking color and didn't look appetizing. There was only a small portion of meat. We didn't enjoy them and my husband was pretty disappointed about that. Stick with pho and you'll enjoy your meal here! read more

Very delicious pho, clean environment. Will definetly come back again for the thai tea as well.

Cozy spot with delicious pho and friendly service! I've been to Saigon Eatery twice now (once for a weekend lunch and once on a weekday evening) and both times were a great experience. It's a relaxed, casual spot that's perfect for dining solo or with a small group. During my most recent visit, I got the "Pick 2" Pho which was only $12 and lets you choose two meats from brisket, meatball, ribeye steak, and boneless short rib. I went with the brisket and ribeye, and it was delicious! The broth was nice and hot and it came out pretty quickly. They gave a generous portion of bean sprouts and lime on the side and they brought the chopsticks, spoon, and napkins on the tray as well. They also have Sriracha and other sauces on the tables, and a self-serve water station with cups. The first time I visited, I ordered through a kiosk at the front, but the second time the kiosk wasn't working so I ordered at the counter. The person taking my order was super friendly, and the person who brought out the food was just as kind. Such a great spot for Vietnamese food! Looking forward to continuing to visit and try more of their dishes. read more

My first choice was to go to have some pho at Fresh Daily Pho and Grill but they were closed due to a maintenance problem they had. So I yelp the next closest pho and it was Saigon Eatery. I had the chicken pho. Broth was ok, chicken was a bit tough. They gave you a huge amount of noodles, but not enough broth or chicken. I then also had the egg roll. Not impressed. It was wrapped I wonton, not like the tradition rice paper wrapped egg roll one. The traditional Vietnamese eggroll are wrapped in rice paper to make it fluffy and crispy. The bill came out to be about $27 with a can of Sprite. I think it's a bit overpriced for what I paid for a bunch of noodles with little broth, few small pieces of chicken and three small egg roll. It was my first time eating here and it will be my last. Not impressed. read more

Let me tell you something. This place is the BOMB.COM I have been to over 15 different Pho places across LA and this place hits different.

Overall: great food, amazing and friendly service, budget friendly prices Food 5/5 I got the standard oxtail pho. It came with peppers, bean sprouts and a lime wedge. Sriracha and hoisin were self serve. +portion size was ample (and I eat a lot normally) +oxtail was tender and fall off the hone +broth was rich and had the right amount of salt Service: 5/5 For a small place like this, I was impressed that someone brought the food out to us directly instead of making us come pick it up at the counter. An employee also asked how each table was doing and offered free drinks as well, which was even more impressive. Ambiance: 4/5 Tables were cleared quickly and the music wasn't too loud. It was great for the price point. read more

The 1 star is SPECIFICALLY referring to the popcorn chicken I had the misfortune of ordering. I originally found this place when was looking for Oxtail Pho, which was great. As well as other things on the menu like their garlic noodles and bahn mi, all solid menu items. But today I was craving popcorn chicken and I had no reason to believe from multiple visits, that they would disappoint...Well, color me disappointed. These were more like mini chicken nuggets scattered amongst some under-seasoned steak fries. And to top it all off, it was like a handful of each. They charge $10 for this kid sized let down. Never again! read more

Recently moved to Torrance, trying out new pho spots. This place was delicious and had the biggest portions. So much meat in my bowl (I got the Saigon pho) and my boyfriend got the oxtail pho which was the star of the show. We also got the Saigon fries which were perfectly crispy, cheesy, and the meat on top was well seasoned. We had double portions essentially and now have so many leftovers for dinner. Wow. Impressed. You order at the counter and then sit. The servers bring you your plates, and everyone was kind. Had a coconut coffee and a strawberry hibiscus tea to close out our meals. WOW- can't wait to come back and try everything else on their menu. read more
