I have been going here since before they even remodeled. Their pho is always good when I go and I love their egg rolls.

Good restaurant but beware. I got uncooked chicken... the taste is decent. Oh, and, they don't speak English. read more

Saigon Eden - Vietnamese Near Me - Alhambra, California

Solid pho and fried egg rolls. Their pineapple and coconut smoothie thing is really good. The rice and charred pork plate is great for a hot summer day when nothing else sounds good. It comes with egg rolls. In and out is super quick here so good for you if time is a factor! read more

Been coming here for years since it was still Pho 79. Always thought it was good pho with lots of meat, fast service. BUT about a year ago, I took my dad there and he found a small roach in how bowl of pho.. GROSS! We complained and they were pretty nonchalant about the whole thing..asking if he wanted another bowl. NO Thanks! Haven't been back since but just recently my sister-in-law went back and also found a sizable roach at the bottom of her bowl!!! Same attitude from staff. Only reason for 2 stars instead of 1 is because I did enjoy the pho before I knew how dirty and infested the place was! So sad and disappointed! read more

Came here for lunch bc my friend was hungry, though I was not. I offered to share some of her bowl with her just so she wouldn't really have to eat alone, ya know. So first we walk in and it takes a while for someone to notice us. Finally we get seated and order and our bowl of pho actually takes a while to come out which surprised us because being from the area and eating at many restaurants, pho usually comes out within minutes. "Was it busy?" Nah, only a fourth of the restaurant was full at the time. Though despite this, I didn't think too much about it. This wasn't really the reason why I found this place quite upsetting. There were small things about this place that irked us. We looked around to see if there was a cash only sign -- there wasn't, so we thought we were safe. When we went to pay with card, our bill being $7, the cashier told us that the minimum was $10. We only had $6 between the both of us.. Awkward. We didn't know what to do and the cashier and waitress pressured us to get a drink or order something else. HONESTLY I was really hoping for them to let it slide but they were really adamant on it. Cashier was saying that if we tipped $3 then it'd be fine. Really? You guys didn't deserve like a 45% tip. Cashier THEN said, under her breath in vietnamese, "these two girls only ordered ONE bowl of pho." Objectively, it doesn't sound like much, but I think most people would agree that that lady was tryna fight with us. Little did she know, I, too, knew Vietnamese and therefore understood her bad mouthin' butt. So I asked, in Vietnamese, if they had durian smoothies and decided that I would indulge in one so that we could reach the $10 minimum. She said yes, and I received it and when I took a sip, I hated it. It was obviously made with powder and tasted so so soooo disappointing. I couldn't take more than three sips, I had to dump it. ( If you like durian smoothies, I'd totally recommend Golden Deli.) What I did like though was that they had the wide noodles -- that's a personal fave of mine when it comes to eating pho. And that the waitress we had was really nice and sweet. She seemed to care for her customers. All the other employees were really inattentive. All in all, would not come again. read more

I was craving pho the other night...unfortunately Golden Deli was temporarily close. Had the fried spring rolls here..was okay...the pho....not that good...I will wait when Golden Deli reopens.. read more

Wait time is ridiculous had me wait for 20 min. says it'll be the next one out and makes me wait another 10 minutes. By the time my food got out everyone of my friends already finished. Might as well order to go. read more

Been coming here for years (back when it was called Pho 79). The servers have remained the same for the most part, which I'm glad about because they are so efficient at their job. Service is quick and you never have to wait too long to get your food. I find that ordering take out often takes longer than actually sitting down and eating at the restaurant. The pho and vermicelli are always delicious and I am always extremely full and satisfied when I leave. No complaints about the food! read more

The food is actually pretty good but the service is horrible. I ordered a meal to go and sat at a table waiting for it. After about 30 minutes, it was busy, I asked how much longer it would take and the waitress picked up a bag that was placed on the table behind me and said this is yours. That really got me angry, it was obvious I was waiting for my food, who knows how long my meal was just sitting there, and how long the intended to let me wait. Needless to say I will never go back again, and cannot recommend this place to anyone. read more

This restaurant isn't very clean. The staff is lazy and unprofessional but the food is always spot on. ive never been unhappy with my meal.

This is an amazing Vietnamese food the waiters speak Vietnamese which makes it easy to order specific food but are also very good at English, portion size it a bit above average so u leave full and al the food is amazing large verity. It's almost as good as my own moms cooking who is from Vietnam ! This place is amazing and I would go here anytime, for a quick bite, Lunch or a nice dinner date with a gal!!!! read more

So this is my work from home day and my friend and I decided to grab a quick bite. We hit this place up just before noon. I think the kiddos from the local high school are out now and I wanted to beat them to the punch. We arrived and I was surprised to see it empty. The place is spacious and has plenty of seating. It's warm today, so I ordered Bun Cha Gio Thit Nuong and Cafe Sua Da. The egg rolls were delicious and they were very generous with the meat. Out of all the places I have tried in Alhambra, I like their coffee best here. Go check them out and let me know what you thought. read more

Favorite place for Pho! Their veggie pho is consistently excellent. I always get it to go because the atmosphere isn't very inviting. It's a bit sterile, but that is better than the alternative. The service is always great as well. I'm always greeted and helped pretty quickly, no matter how busy they are. However, they do prefer cash if you have a small order. I had not been in a while and forgot about this preference, they kind of gave me a hard time but ended up just using my card. So make sure to have some cash on you when dining here! read more

So glad they took over Pho 79. My family has been going to the San Gabriel location for years. The pho recipe here is the same, if not better! Our family goes every Sunday to get pho at Saigon and now it's down the street from our house!!! read more

My favorite pho around here. I usually get the beef noodle soup. The bowls are reasonably sized and they give you a generous portion of meat. The flavor of the soup is probably the best ive tried and ive tried many different places. They have a wide variety of soups and dishes. I usually get my usual soup bowl when i come here so i will definitely continue to come back to try more of their menu items. read more

The food was good. Prices are decent... Sgv prices! Cleaner than it was when it was pho 79 so that's definitely a plus!!!! Convenient for ALHAMBRA peeps:) read more

Wow this might be one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've been to! Absolutely loved the beef with lemongrass and fresh spring rolls. Good service too. And the price is right. read more

Best pho place in Alhambra. Suggest yall try pho ribeye, legit it's like Hiroshima and Nagasaki, litty

We've been there 3 times since changed of ownership. Better than pho 79. Good portion and reasonable price. Service is okay. Mostly, I don't feel thirsty after the meal, usually it means no msg or little msg. Which I like. Will definitely come back. read more

This place had absolutely no record of my phone order even after it was repeated to me. This was all after I had to explain what my order multiple times. When I got there I had to order everything I wanted again. I was told it would take 10 minutes when in reality it took 25 minutes. When I received my food no apology was given after my horrible experience. read more

We used to eat a at least once a week, however they are too packed! Almost all of their foods on the menu is delicious, not to mention their golden egg roll, can't go wrong read more

Saigon Eden will always have a place in my heart. It was kind of a first date with my "not my boyfriend at the time" and ever since then we always come here. The food comes out pretty quick well at least for pho. I always order the same one every time I come in. It's so good that I come here alone a few times. I was sad that they were closing but it was just a change in management and redecoration of the store. Will definitely drive out of my way for this! read more

House special medium pho (comes w/ basil etc) and 1/2 order eggrolls with wrapping veggies. The pho had a combo of brisket and well done beef with good fatty texture and flavor. The meat quality and quantity was very good. I would have liked the broth to have a more herbal, anise taste as opposed to a salty taste; however, it was still good. Even for a medium, they give you a lot of ingredients, even if barely any tripe or tendon (the meat makes up for the soup). A standout is the eggrolls. Baked and/or fried to perfection. The stuffing has barely any artificial umami. Really fresh and savory. read more

This particular restaurant is considered good. Always in the area but never tried it until my mother's eye doctor mentionedhowhe and his cousins grew up eating at Saigon Eden. I've eaten at the Chinatown Pho Ha near Alameda St. in Los Angeles before they changed ownership (and taste quality went down) and the Vermicelli dish at this Garfield Ave location, is on par at that level of taste quality. The dining atmosphere is not too bad but could use a refresh to the flooring to make it more appealing. Bathrooms need a serious makeover though. I'd recommend this place as one of your "go to" places to eat if you have a craving for Vietnamese food. I will back to try their other dishes. read more

I love their soups and their prices! The prices are cheap! The service is a bit on the annoying side, but their food is delicious! I highly recommend the veggie soup and their thai tea! read more

The service is good was greeted right away. The food wasnt so great still sitting in the toilet after 24 hrs... I order a rice dish and the beef didn't taste right at all it had awkward weird taste to it. This was my first time here after the name change. The back entrance smells really horrible from the dumpster. I don't think I will be returning back. read more

Omg, the Pho with Kobi beef here is to die for. I've eaten at many Pho restaurants all over SoCal and this one really stands out. The beef broth is so rich and flavorful. It was served with fat rice noodle, but you can request the standard pho noodle if you wish. My boys had the Com Tam rice plate, and I've never seen him finish it so fast. You can tell they use the freshest ingredients here. We also had some VNese crispy egg rolls and they were delicious. The staff are attentive, and very nice. I will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. read more

This place the food and the price are good and also good service. We are here every Wednesday night before church pray meeting. They have TV too. My husband loves to come here for ball Games. They even changed the channel for him read more

Food good. Prices were reasonable. Service sucked. Never gave us napkins. Wanted soda refill, but waiter never came by after bringing us the order. Waiter did not come by with bill, so I had to go up to the cashier. overhead nearby patron say pretty much same thing. Lousy service left bad taste in our mouths. read more

this is the second branch of saigon eden. the first branch is the reincarnation of the pho 79 branch that was located at del mar and valley. do the math. read more

This is a fairly new location, and the inside has been upgraded and is pretty comfortable. The food comes quickly and is just as good as the other place on Las Tunas. Good coffee too. I love coming here after a few too many beers the night before, I'm guessing I'll be back. read more

The pho was great like always! I'm so glad we can still get great pho locally!! When pho 79 closed we were so disappointed!!

Love this place! Glad they still have the same food. They just changed their name. My favorite is their egg rolls, And the Thai ice tea. Pho is authentic and delicious. There was this sweet elderly man who kept greeting my nephews very sweet! One of my favorite local places for pho. read more

This place is sooo good! Fresh ingredients, affordable, and tons of food. Nice casual place if you need to bring kids.

I'm a huge fan of their Las Tunas location and I'm pleased to say that their Alhambra location is up to stuff! Food is solid, tastes fresh and the pho soup is always consistently delicious. The only small thing I'm bummed about is that I think they no longer serve the complimentary yellow mung bean dessert after the meals? Their egg rolls are the best I've had honestly, some places make egg rolls with old pork and you can taste it! But the egg rolls here are super good and also the remodeled interior of this place is great, it's a little more sleek and minimal which I love. Cute low key date spot to eat after the movies :) read more

This place adds minutes to your lifespan every bite you savor at this gem. I recommend the #19 with fresh noodles. Pair it up with a coconut smoothie to compliment the flavors. read more

Food was OK, service was slow and unsatisfactory. We waited 10 minutes to get a menu, then another 10 minutes to get water. Food came out quickly, and that was the last time we saw our waitress until I waved her down so I could ask for the check. I had to get up and ask someone else for a fork for my daughter since she is not experienced in using chopsticks. They never came back to check on us or refill our drinks. Oh, and when the food came out, I had to remove it from their tray to place it in front of me?!?! Wow. I've been to many Vietnamese restaurants, and I'll drive farther out to go to one of those rather than come back here. And no, it wasn't busy at all during my visit. I suggest you steer clear of this place and go to another venue instead. read more

First pho I'd ever tried, and hands down amazing. I still get crazy cravings for it and drive down to Alhambra to get it even though I don't live there anymore! I want to try pho elsewhere but I'm afraid it won't live up to my high expectations. I had the charbroiled pork pho and it was incredible! read more

They are fast service! They remodeled and the place is much cleaner. The food is good. Yum! & don't forget free refills!(:
