    Saigon Fries, so so good! Could totally finish this alone, but the serving is perfect for sharing
    Jeanette C.

    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.

    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

    Went around 2pm for the first time. The servers were very friendly. The chicken bánh mì sandwich had plenty of vegetables, but very little chicken.

    This is one of the best shrimp pho I've had broth was flavorful shrimp was perfectly cooked... but my favorite is the garlic noodles with shrimp..

    The food was amazing! This is our first time and we enjoyed all the food. We recommend it.

    Saigon Pho

    Great pho! The broth is very rich and flavorful with light spices! The meat is very tender. The staff is very polite and efficient. They have great food and comfortable ambiance!

    Their pho is really good and prices are decent. I really liked their oxtail pho. My friend also once brought me pho and their bahn mi sandwich which were both delicious! The pho travels well to-go with the noodles and veggies separated from the broth. The bahn mi was also really good and I will be back to get it again!

    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.

    The food was delicious, warm, and hearty, and served promptly. Additionally, the restaurant was super clean and we had no problems getting a seat for Friday lunch. No complaints from me, I will be a repeat customer!

    Beef Banh Mi
    Marina F.

    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

    Got the garlic noodles with shrimp and a side of egg rolls. Solid garlic flavor in the noodles with a little bit of sweetness for balance. The egg rolls were crispy and not greasy at all. Service was very friendly and prompt.

I was lucky enough to come in on a Saturday when the Banh Xeo was available.

My husband ordered the grilled pork chop with rice, and they were happy to swap out the shredded pork for a fried egg. We also shared an order of shrimp cakes to start. The food came out quickly, service was prompt, and overall it was a great experience. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes on the menu.

We ordered the $16.99 lunch specials which I feel is a good value for all you get. Wife ordered the red curry with chicken which was delicious and I ordered the hot basil with chicken and they both came with soup and salad. The waiter made a mistake and told us the soup of the day was Tom Kha (spicy coconut) for which we were hoping but what was brought out was more of a broth. It had a lot of flavor though, I will say that, so I was pleasantly surprised. Salad was tasty with house sesame dressing and my hot basil chicken was FANTASTIC. The portion size was very good and I even took half of the chicken home to enjoy another time. Note the lunch special is offered from 11:30am-3pm Monday through THURSDAY....I am not quite sure why. They really should include Fridays. The Thai Gimlet with basil and lemongrass was a wonderful and creative cocktail...so good, I ordered two! Service was friendly and attentive.

When the bill came they added and tacked on 5 EXTRA ITEMS that racked up to $200. Something was off good thing it was checked before charging the card. It would've been a headache.

That could add up imagine how many tables they get per holiday. I've been wanting to make a review of this place years ago also but never got the chance when I took my dad here for Father's Day and his birthday. Extremely rude customer service.

As soon as we entered we saw a sign saying you had to pay before being seated. Red flag!! Paying before you even had a taste of the food rang alarms in my head. Asking for a tip before service has even been rendered is the most ridiculous thing ever. Alot of places do this and it needs to be changed. Tip after services have been rendered. The workers here at least the 4 that I saw were all extremely young. They looked like they all belong in high school. They were very slow in anything they did. During my whole time here I the resturant the phone kept going off and they ignored it quite a few times. The inside of the resturant nice and clean, no complaints from me. My wife used their bathroom but the door did not lock so I had to stand outside which is annoying and not suitable for any ladies wanting to use the restroom. The food took quite a long time to come out. We sat down for awhile before the appetizers came out. 2 of us got the pho lunch special and it comes with a fried veggie eggroll. It took 15 minutes just to get 2 veggie spring rolls which were fresh and hot. When taking a bite out of them the inside was just mushy veggies and tasted like they were soaked in soy sauce. Then the spring rolls came out and they looked ok. After tasting they were decent. My only complaint about them is there wasn't enough peanut sauce, just a little dish not enough for all of our rolls. My wife ordered the combination fried rice. It came and it looked nice and hot. Upon tasting it for myself it tasted extremely salty. The proteins in it (Chinese sausage,shrimp,chicken) were almost inedible with the exception of the Chinese sausage. The shrimp was extremely over cooked and the chicken was cut thin and wide, like jerky and was just as dry as jerky. My FIL and I ordered the combination pho. The pho was extremely lackluster and was missing some components commonly in combo pho (pho dac biet) it was missing tendon,flank and meatballs (sometimes not always in pho dac biet) The meat to noodle ratio is extremely terrible, had at least 8 bites of noodles left and no more meat. The broth was so bland no flavor at all except for the over abundance of sweetness from the sugar. Being part vietnamese myself I love alot of pho whether its super delicious or just ok. This pho is not even in the "just ok" realm its terrible, its a disgrace to pho everywhere. Even if you are the type to put Hoison/Sriracha in the broth it will not save it. FIL says this place uses to be good but I guess things have changed since his last visit all those years ago. You could pick almost any other pho restaurant and I am 99.99% sure it would be better than here. If you value your time,money, and taste buds please stay clear of this place by any means necessary.
