    The pho was so amazing here. The broth was very rich and savory. The food came out pretty quick. The service was really good. I wanted to try the eggroll. It looked really good too. The portions are very filling. The prices are really good too, and the ambience is pretty quiet a nice four dining with your friends or date.

    Pho Tai
    Cady N.

    I've been here several times and the Pho Tai has been consistently great. Saigon Eden, both the Alhambra and SG locations, is certainly my go-to for affordable and fulfilling Pho.

    #19 ribeye beef pho
    Jeff C.

    I liked it. With this rainy weather I was craving some pho and this place hit the spot. Came in on a packed Friday night. Inside is simple with a good amount of seating. It's a good place for small groups. I got the #19 ribeye beef. It was good! My friend got the udon noodles and they liked it. E also shared some yummy house rolls. They also have rice dishes. Would definitely come back to try more. Service was good. Efficient staff. There's parking lots within a block or two.

    Delicious rich authentic broth. The bun rieu is rich and has depth of flavor and they let you choose the kind of noodles you like inside. I got glass noodles instead of rice noodles. The prices are super affordable in this economy. Definitely a no frills place but you'll get good home cookin

    Francisco M.

    There's lots of plaza and structure parking nearby. There's a front and back entrance. It's a great place for large groups with lots of seating. The staff are really friendly and quick. You'll definitely get a good portion of food for the price. I barely was able to make a dent on my plate. The rice was good. The imperial roll was really crispy and hot inside. I really enjoyed it. The garlic green beans were super tasty.

    Pho and Che Ba Mau
    Halle P.

    Have come here quite a few times over the years and it's a solid pho place. Usually quick with no wait and a wide selection of Vietnamese food. Good for small or large groups Food 9/10 Their pho is delicious. Nothing above average, but it's consistent and flavorful with tender meat and fresh garnish. We asked for some extra limes and they gave us a whole bowl full of them which was perfect for me and my group as everyone loves limes to flavor their pho broth. Their che ba mau dessert was pretty good, but wasn't cold enough or didn't have enough ice causing it to become warm fast. Their warm sago dessert though was so comforting, not too sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. Service 10/10 Attentive, quick, and cheerful staff! Atmosphere/aesthetic Clean and modern interior aesthetic. In a great location with a parking garage nearby and lots of other restaurants, cafes, boba shops, dessert places, and stores close by. A safe area to walk around after a meal. Will continue to come back here!

    From eating here and reading the other reviews written, I'm wondering if we are at the same Saigon Eden lol. The spring rolls crispy and absolutely delicious w the dipping sauce. Would def come back to order just that. The pho though... the noodles were all stuck together and didn't taste like fresh noods. The meats for the beef rib and the oxtail were not tender and didn't fall off the bones. Again, didn't taste fresh. We left a lot of food on the table bc it really was not good at all. I hate wasting food but I just couldn't. 1 star for the phos. Service was quick and fast granted we came on a weekday around 4pm. There were only like 3 other tables. Parking structure is literally behind the restaurant like a quick little walk away. Otherwise you can street park also.

    Charbroiled pork pho
    Janet T.

    I haven't been here since the days this place use to be called PHO 79. I remember falling in love with the charbroiled pork PHO and I'm so happy they still have it! CHARBROILED PORK PHO: 5/5 The broth is out of this world! Smokiness from the charbroiled pork enhances the broth to the NEXT LEVEL! SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Everyone was so welcoming with lovely SMILES on their faces and the waitress was so patient with our order. You don't feel rushed here instead they make you feel comfortable like HOME. PARKING: I had to park on level 5 because we came during RUSH HOUR on a Saturday night evening. ROCK ON SAIGON EDEN!!!!!!!

    Kobe Pho; add on meatballs. Very Good.
    Cindy S.

    I loved Saigon Eden, but I won't be coming back to this location in Alhambra any time soon . The food is not as good as their San Gabriel location on Las Tunas. From lukewarm pho broth to dripping wet vegetables/herbs served on the same plate as pipping hot egg rolls, the overall meal was not appetizing. Highly disappointed.

    Beef Rib Pho
    Oscar B.

    I'm a big fan of the tasty broth and meat quality in their pho. Regarding their beef rib pho, the beef ribs were so tender, juicy, and flavorful. These were possibly the best beef ribs I've ever had with a bowl of pho. The meat in their house special pho was great and high quality as well. The pho broth here might not be as good as the top pho places in OC but is still really tasty.

    Bun Tom Thit Nuong
    Sarah S.

    This has quickly become one of my favorite pho spots. It's lowkey and straightforward and you get excellent food very quickly at a reasonable price. The staff is very eager and sweet and the move efficiently. I got the Pho Kobe and the meat is so tender, broth is rich and comforting. My boyfriend got the Bun Tom Thit Nuong and I got to steal a few bites, the pork and egg rolls in fish sauce were so delicious. The Thai tea is not super sweet or concentrated compared to others that I've had admittedly. The last time I came here I got the Vietnamese iced coffee and they serve it with a phin, it was sooo good I'll prob order that again next time. Parking was fine, but can be challenging, there are a couple of parking lots in the area, but sometimes they've been full. If you go on a weekday/Saturday, you can maybe try parking at the library ;)

Their prices have not changed in years and the portions remain the same versus shrinkflation. Their menu is not that big but it has your essential Vietnamese dishes. Today I ordered the banh beo bi, vermicelli with nem nuong and egg rolls, nem nuong coun and che ba mau. Banh beo bi are rice cakes topped with shredded pork. It comes with chilies and fish sauce for you to pour on top. The rice cakes are served warm and are super smooth and soft. The thai chilies it comes with are spicy so don't use too much. The vermicelli with nem nuong and egg rolls comes with a slab of meat and a whole egg roll. The bottom are the noodles and mix of veggie and herbs. The nem nuong is sweetened charbroiled pork that is grilled. Think of a sweet meat ball. The egg rolls are super crispy and filled with meat. The noodles go well with the fish sauce and there are a lot of veggies inside. The nem nuong coun is a spring roll that's wrapped in rice paper. It has the meat and lettuce wrapped inside and comes with a dipping sauce. I believe the sauce is made with ground shrimp. For $8 for 3 rolls it is a steal compared to other restaurants. If you are craving Brodards in OC this place can satisfy your craving. Their che ba mau which is a 3 bean dessert has a lot of beans inside topped with coconut milk and shaved ice. It is the person drink to finish your meal and it is not too sweet.

The spring rolls are large and filled with shrimp and pork, meeting expectations. I'll definitely return.

It is a nicely stacked bowl that has everything but the kitchen sink in it - roast pork belly, catfish, squid, eggplant, and stuffed jalapeno with fried fish cake. Very filling and reasonably priced! The only reason I gave this place a 4 instead of 5 rating is because you can only order certain items from the menu when they open. I wanted to get some Chinese food to-go for my husband, but was told by the server that the other items were only available beginning at 10 am, which is odd to me.
