The pho ga had lots of msg in it. (What my girlfriend said) either way I didn't really like it So I went ahead and switched to a rice dish, it was great read more

delicious every time! such large portions and friendly staff. this latest visit we had the filet mignon pho and veggie eggrolls. highly recommend it all. read more

Best pho and Vietnamese resturant in Lubbock. Mom and Pop store environment, pretty chill. If you stop by in Lubbock and have the cravings for Vietnamese food or just asian food overall, check this place out. read more

Went the other day to try my first Pho and it was delicious. The woman was awesome about making sure my food didn't get seafood near it as I'm allergic. Not the most visually appealing place but that doesn't affect my score because I didn't go there to stare at the place, I went there for good food and I'll definitely be back read more

I am a big Foodie from Dallas Fort Worth! The Pho was soooooo good I wanted another bowl. However, I was so full and delighted with just one helping.I highly recommend this restaurant . read more

The best Pho in town. Great service and quick too! Went this morning super sick and he got my order ready in 2-3 minutes. I looooove this place. read more

We really like their food! On some dishes, portion sizes are a little small. Be sure to try the spring rolls and fried wantons. read more

See all

Their appetizers are phenomenal with every meal. When I tasted their entrees I struggled to contain my pure ecstasy from the flavor explosion in my mouth. read more

Every time I come here I get the vermicelli noodles with chicken and fish sauce. It's my favorite. I've tried other dishes (picking off of friend's plates) but this one is my absolute favorite. This place is really cheap too! It's not the best I've had but I'm pretty sure it's the best in Lubbock. ^^ read more

Wonderful food! Great flavor - very fresh and tasty. I was a bit worried when I sat down at 8pm on a Friday night and the place had only 2 customers - but I was craving Vietnamese so I gave it a try. So glad I did. I couldn't believe this little non-descript hole in the wall restaurant would be SO GOOD - but I've always found some of the best places are! Not 10 minutes after I ordered food a flood of students came in - about 12 people or so - and all I could think was - thank god these people have a following cause their food is great and deserves a crowd. Especially since Lubbock doesn't have much in the way of good ethnic foods. Just some advice for the owners - be a little more personable and get to know your customers and you'll probably have more business. I felt a bit like I was bothering them by being there and not being served properly as a paying customer. A smile and hello - or asking how the food is - goes a long way. Not crazy about the 'pay at the counter' set up. And the decor - put some color on those white walls - the place is very sterile looking in all white. Give it some color and make it somewhere people WANT to come to and maybe you'll have more than just to-go customers. read more

If I could possibly rate this place zero stars l'd do it in a heartbeat but I'll settle for two. -I had to ask server more than once for items -Cashier didn't seem like she wanted to work that night -They make you bring your tray of drinks to your own table (a little confused on why) -Asked cashier how much boba was and gave us an attitude saying "50 cents for boba but the drinks are a different price" like come on pretty sure you know what we meant -Food was sub par, probably will not be coming back I highly recommend I love pho read more

This place you can taste how fresh evening is. The springrolls we're awesome and the portions are huge. I'll be coming back here soon. I had the c13 special pho as did everyone else ordering I think. read more

Our family loves Pho, so we decided to go here today. I ordered curry and my daughter ordered pho. Her food came and then the people behind me got their food and I still had no food! Went to the front to inquire and the guy who took our order said he didn't hear my order so I didn't get charged. I told them I'd be happy to pay please bring me my food. Never came. Then a girl who spoke perfect English brought out my ticket to prove to me they didn't charge me and once again I requested my food. She never came back. We got up and left and went to Tai Tai and ate! I'll never go back! read more

My (and my mother's) favorite place for a bowl of pho... we go weekly. Broth is very flavorful and tastefully seasoned. The staff are friendly & helpful. Always looking forward to my next visit to Saigon! read more

Came here for lunch . When the server was bringing out our food she dropped wontons on the ground , put them back on the plate and brought them to us When I told her we seen her drop them and didn't want to eat them she got upset . They thought we shouldn't have complained . Not a good place to come eat . read more

Only pho place...just wish they would use raw meat and not already cooked meat. They are stingy with the limes etc also. The broth is kind of sweet. But it works in a pinch. read more

As someone who is Vietnamese, I'm extremely disappointed by the authenticity of their food. Some of the dishes are cooked rather strangely and I was extremely taken aback when I was offered hot sauce on my rice dish. With that said, it's decent food, considering it's the only Vietnamese restaurant in Lubbock, and the portion sizes aren't bad. My favorite is the rice and grilled beef plate, but their pho has to rank among the worst I've ever had, and I've eaten a lot of pho. read more

The food here is not terrible but it is far from good. I ordered pho and spring rolls. Service: There were only two employees visible working when I arrived. They were both server, cashier, and clean-up. The menu was on the wall adjacent to the entrance. You order the food first and then find a table. Very similar to a fast food joint. I ordered the spring rolls as an appetizer but it never came. The pho was brought out first. I had to remind my server/cashier person about that order. The two employees working there were very nice. The Food: I come from Orange County CA, where there are quite many Vietnamese and pho (pronounced Phuh as in Fuh-get-about-it) restaurants. I have tasted good and bad pho and the pho here is not so good, yet it is not terrible. What makes a good pho is the broth and the herbs that comes with it. The broth is a little bland and salty (I wonder if they use MSG?...this is a short cut that some restaurant takes because cooking the broth right takes about 8-10 hours) The only herbs I got was cilentro, afalfa sprouts, and jalepano. Traditionally herbs provided for pho are basil, thorny coriander, alfalfa sprout, and some sort of chili pepper. Since we are in Lubbock most people wont know what they are missing. Verdict: Would I come here again? Probably not. Should people come here? There's not many choices of pho restaurants here. If you never had pho and just want to try it out, then why not. There's not many good choices for you folks out here. The other place that I tried was I Love Pho and it was about the same as Saigon Cafe. read more

This place's food is fresh and the restaurant is clean! Maybe a little expensive, but overall worth it.

I was excited to find there was a Vietnamese place in Lubbock! I went with a girlfriend for some Pho on a cold rainy day, but it was just not quite right. The broth was too plain beef-boulliony without the subtle zip (gingery?) of what Pho should be. The meat was not thin strips cooked in the broth, but instead seemed like a type of sausage I haven't been back. I had a friend who knew someone who worked here and they said that the food was like this because this was what Lubbockites wanted in their Vietnamese food. That is unfortunate but I can see how this happens. read more

My bf and I went randomly when we were craving pho but stumbled across this place instead and it's so good! We've been there about five times this past month. It's a good price and it's delicious! read more

Very good place for Pho. Ordering is done by numbers with large pictures of each item, so a newbie can easily see what is in each menu item. Staff if friendly and prices are very reasonable. read more

It's a good place to go to for your Asian food fix. But I would make the trip out to Bel-Aire for the real good stuff!

The C28! That was some damn good seafood pho! Great service and great prices. Very happy with my experience (:

Their portions are a bit on the small side, but the taste is fantastic. The C10 is a must and the c28 which is a spicy seafood Pho.

I like this place. It's tasty and not too expensive. The ambience isn't incredible but I love the fish tank. I will definitely be going here again- I love me some noodles and various other Vietnamese food. read more

Worst bowl of Pho I've had in 10 years in all of my travels . They get 1 star just for the staff being nice. No selection of drinks (only had bottle water,root beer, sunkist, aloe or cocunut juice). The beef pho I had taste like bun bo hue but it wasnt. Portions were small... not enough beef... bad meatballs... just horrible all the way around. This place is bad. If youve had good pho do not come here. If this is all you know... I feel sorry for you read more

Let's face it... Lubbock is experiencing a drought of really good Asian places to eat, but this one will do. Their fresh spring rolls are pretty yummy, but a little on the small side. The portions are decent and I would say that even the pickiest eater could find something that would whet their appetite. I enjoyed the C-10 today and have been happy with other dishes too. Also, props to this place for being a clean and pleasant dining atmosphere! read more

I love this place. My usual includes either pork egg rolls or normal spring rolls, and both are delicious. I'm also a big fan of their C-10, and my wife loves the C-22. Keep in mind that you order up front at the counter, and they generally don't have waitress service at each table, so sometimes you have to get up to get a refill. To me, it's worth it. This place has been one of my go-tos for years. read more

I waited 20 minutes for my order then after I reminded the food runner, he brought me the wrong order. I ordered B3 and I was given B1. I then argued with the young lady that I ordered b3. Finally she went and asked the chef and I ended up having to pay $2 more for the food I actually wanted even though they messed it in the first place. read more

The pho here is really good, the best I've had! They are very accommodating about adding or leaving out anything you don't like. They are quick and a great stop for lunch. Service is great. read more

My accompaniment and I dined at Saigon Cafe yesterday and were very pleased with our experience. This is a small restaurant in an easy to miss location, but it is worth going out of your way to find. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with the menu. We ordered the Bo va So Xao Rau Cai and the Cari Ga (a picture is uploaded), and we both cleaned our plates and bowls. The prices are just a little high for the size of portions that you get, but otherwise we were pleased with the service and food. read more

Saigon - C-22 Bo va So Xao Rau Cai - Sandwiches Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

I like this place because it is quick, cheap, and pretty tasty. I usually get the catfish in clay pot or noodles and eggrolls (can't remember what that dish is called). The catfish is good on most days, but there have been some occasions where I could tell they held on to the catfish a little too long lol. Their springrolls and eggrolls are pretty good too. Try it if you need a place to eat quick and you're on 50th! read more

Great Vietnamese food. Best in Lubbock.

It's pho. It's Lubbock. It's west Texas. Don't expect big city pho in lil ol Lubbock. But this pho isn't bad at all. So order up (the menu is on the wall) and enjoy some good pho. They have easy menu options and some more experienced options for the brave at heart. read more

I had a very good experience here! I was looking for somewhere more authentic because I have had Vietnamese food many times being from a big city. Honestly I haven't had good pho like that in a long time. And the portion was pretty good. I also got the fried egg rolls but they were a bit bland. Other than that I will definitely be back! The staff was very friendly too. read more

The one and only Vietnamese place in Lubbock and I love it. Also is one of the few places serving Boba Tea. I love almost everything here. My favorites include the shredded pork with bamboo shoots and pork soup with boiled eggs. The Vietnamese spring rolls are my never to miss appetizers. I highly recommend this place to all Asian food lovers. Also the staff is very friendly. read more

I order C14, extra bowl of noodle, but they gave me C13. The type of noodle was totally different. It was ok if they just changed it.Im not a mean guy. They corrected it. But! The attitude of the waitress made me mad. It seemed that it was my fault! Never ever go there if it is still that waitress! read more

Only decided to come here because I love Pho is closed on Mondays but the chicken pho was actually really good! And so were the shrimp spring rolls. Definitely coming back. The bubble tea was alright, tasted a bit watered down read more

If I was stuck on an island and could only choose one food to eat -- it would be the spicy C10 with a side order of pork egg rolls. Saigons is a hidden gem in the city of Lubbock and that's what makes them so special. My college roommates and I make trips to Saigons multiple times a week and I never tire of the menu. Again, if I had to make one suggestion it would be to get the C10 spicy as the extra kick gives it the perfect blend of flavor and hear. The ladies who run the restaurant are among some of the nicest and most genuine. Definitely pay this place a visit! read more
