This location is actually located Southport, Indiana. Don't know why it doesn't show up where it exactly located. Nice little quaint place located in a small strip mall kind of off the beaten path. Joe was our waiter and very accommodating. We ordered 2 bowels of pho and it was a nice serving and well balanced flavors. The pit stickers were very tasty as well. This was a random stop and not close to our home but we would stop again if in the area. read more

We were not expecting much, only passing by the area. But this is seriously a legit good place. Great service, great food. Would definitely come back again next time we are in the area. PS. We were too hungry and forgot to take photo of the food, but you can see how muwe enjoyed it! read more

Service is quick, friendly, and knowledgeable :) food is DELICIOUS. Best pho in nwi. Chili oil is house made and is the perfect addition to pho. Tendons are huge and melt in your mouth. Food comes out super fast and perfect temperatures. Restrooms and dining room is clean and there's seating that's easy to accommodate larger parties. I eat here at least once a week read more

The food is amazing. When we get takeout, we have no issues, but the times we have stayed in the restaurant, our broth has been cold by the time we get it. Still this place is amazing! read more

Great service and excellent food! I ordered the Pho dac biet Sai Gon (their namesake and flagship pho). It was excellent! I got the small bowl and it was A.LOT.! They also bring out a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and jalapeños so that you can make the dish your own. In addition, at the table is a rack with Gochujang, Teriyaki, and Sriracha sauces on it. I hooked my bowl up! When I tell you that this pho was good...I'm TELLING YOU....IT WAS GOOD! I am bringing the wife next time! I also got two (2) orders of shrimp pad Thai to go. I'll let you know how good they were. If you're ever in the area, please stop by The Saigon Noodle House! read more

I would def go back here. The food was good, the service was quick, the ambiance was ok, just a small family restaurant. We were able to get in and out. They have a large variety of Vietnamese dishes. The food was great, the meat was marinated in a flavorful sauce, but not too salty. read more

The other reviews are fairly accurate; the food receives praise, but the service has mixed reviews. During our visit, the service was average, but the food was impressive. I decided to try something new and ordered a banh mi for the first time, deviating from my usual pho order at Vietnamese restaurants. My friends thoroughly enjoyed their pho, which was fragrant and not oily, yet packed with deep flavor. Unfortunately, the dishes came out of order, and I nearly finished my banh mi before my egg rolls arrived. Although the egg rolls, priced at $8 for a small order of four, seemed a bit pricey, they were delicious. The restaurant was almost empty during lunch hour, which made for a quiet dining experience. Final thoughts, while the service could use improvement, the quality of the food at this Vietnamese restaurant makes it worth a visit. If you're willing to overlook the occasional service hiccup, you'll be rewarded with flavorful dishes that are sure to satisfy. read more

Delicious every time! I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Nothing as comforting as delicious Vietnamese food. Service is fast and the employees are always friendly. read more

This place has gone down hill...it use to be really good but now it's terrible. It takes almost 45 mins to get a bowl of pho. You only get 1 cup of water because they only have 1 waiter, and he forgets to check on you. It's great pho but horrible service. They use to be good with more waiters and more attentiveness but not anymore. read more

We have only ordered take out of their beef and chicken pho. Have not been disappointed with the taste and portion size.

Pho was good spring roll was not the freshest and they used regular lettuce for the filing.

With at least 40 minutes before closing, the restaurant closed its dinning room. Open for take out.

This is my kind of place! Very quaint and the food is delicious. The service was OK but given how customer service is atrocious at most places these days we will take it lol. We went 2 times a week for almost a month that's how tasty this food is. read more

I got the ribeye pho. Meat tasted slightly gamey to me. Beef was more tender but I am not sure it's worth the price of $17. I also think the pho here is more expensive than most places especially being in Indiana. Broth was just okay. I do think it lacks some seasoning. Although I will say the amount of noodles and meat proportion was good. Service was good. Veggie plate didn't have as much bean sprouts, cilantro, limes, basil, mint, and jalapeños for a party of 2. read more

Saigon Noodle House - Ribeye pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

Been here a couple times in the past year or so. The Pho and the appetizers are excellent. Highly recommend. However, each time we've gone (maybe 4 times, each time on the weekend at lunch time) we've ordered a Bahn Mi and each time have been told we don't have that today. Seems like whoever buys the ingredients needs to plan better. If you're looking for great Pho you'll be good, but if you want a Bahn Mi don't hold your breath. read more

My daughter and I decided to go get Pho and she found this little gem! The Pho is amazing and you get A LOT for your money! The spring rolls are just as good!! The main reason I would go back is for the service! When I tell u our waitress Kiya is the epitome of customer service ... I am not kidding ... she is THE sweetest, and always keeps a smile on her face! She definitely deserves some recognition. Thank you Kiya! read more

The food is AMAZING! I'd say that it is the best Vietnamese food in the area. The pho and banh mi have good flavor and the workers are really nice. read more

As a Vietnamese person and a foodie, i think most of the dishes here are lack of spices. They all need more kicks. Staff is friendly and nice. Toilet needs to be cleaned up more often. read more

Sat down and actually had some pho for the first time was very filling even though it's just soups lol. Very friendly staff read more

Saigon Noodle House - a bowl of soup and a plate of shrimp - Vietnamese Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

One of my favorite restaurants (specifically for carryout) in Merrillville. I could go on and on about the pho, but the spicy Bun bo Hue (soup) has become my go-to order over the past two year. Add canh ga rang muoi (wings) and cha gio (egg roles with a delicious side sauce) and you have an order to die for. Love this place and it has been consistently good for the 10 years I have been dining here. read more

Definitely a "hole in the wall" type of restaurant. Not much to the restaurant but the pho is still as good as when I had it as a freshman in college 7 years ago. read more

We have eaten here a number of times. The food i consistently delicious always. I must say I am hooked on the soups, but my son loves the stir fry's. If you like oriental food this is a good choice. read more

I'm visiting my sister in Valparaiso and wanted some pho so she suggested Saigon Noodle House in Merrillville and I'm really glad that she did! The pho was top notch--and I eat pho a few times a week in my home city of LA :) the portions are generous, prices are reasonable, service was friendly, and broth was very tasty! I would definitely come back next time I come to visit! read more

Saigon Noodle House - Very good pho! - Vietnamese Near Me - Merrillville, Indiana

Good food, clean place with two sections. Service is fine. Menu variety is plentiful with various meat selections to choose for supplements. Have some sandwiches and Chinese dishes too. Ambience is warm. Nice selection of fruit drinks and coffee. Prices are reasonable for what you get. I usually get either Pho or one of the traditional vermicelli noodle type dishes. read more

The pho is good but too overpriced ; the last 3 times I've went ; they don't have what you want ( always out of food for the pho and broth) and they close two hours earlier than what the time is listed !!!! This is unacceptable when I drove 44 minutes to get here and they say they're closing for no reason ( happen to me twice )!!!!!!! read more

Typical understaffed restaurant. They only had one server but he was trying to keep up. The food was good. $1.99 for a warm can of pop and a small cup of ice was disappointing. He brought the appetizers along with the main course. My meal was supposed to come with fried rolls. When he finally did come around and ask everything was, I let him know that I didn't receive the rolls. He apologized and said he would get them for me. After several more minutes, by this time I was done with my meal, I heard him talking to the cook and explaining to him that I didn't receive them. There was some bantering back-and-forth but he came by again and said he would get them for me. After many more minutes, the server finally came back apologetic and said that the cook would not give them to me and when the server tried to fix them himself he pushed his hand away and said no. So basically the cook (owner) said I was a liar and refused to give them to me - I guess he thought I already ate them and wanted more for free... The poor server was very embarrassed and still apologetic. He did knock off a couple dollars and I went on my way. read more

Great pho served quickly. Our waiter was very friendly! The soup was hot and delicious which is perfect for a chilly night. I think this is one of the only pho places in NW Indiana and I was pretty happy. Being from Houston, there is a ton of Vietnamese restaurants and this place was probably in my top 10. I did think that there wasn't enough meat served in the soup especially for the price you pay, but it was still tasty. I also ordered a Thai tea and coconut water, which taste similar to many places that serve it (honestly, could've done without it). The pho in the Midwest is rather expensive compared to what I'm used to in Houston - it's probably because there aren't any other places to go to. I would typically pay close to $8 for a large bowl and here it was almost $11. Drinks are overpriced too - $4.50 for Thai tea and the same for a coconut water... YIKES! I would still go again because I'm curious to see how their Banh Mi are. There was a lot of variety here, so if you don't like soup or aren't in the mood, I'm sure you'll still find something! read more

My fiancé and I have been coming here for about 2 years now, and it's our favorite place to come eat. We've had our fair share of servers, good and bad, but Courtney is our FAVORITE. We learned today that she remembers our order and remembers us. We could tell she was having a tough day but she still took the time to make us feel at home. We absolutely adore her and she is what makes this place so amazing. We will be returning, and we hope to still see her smiling face when we walk in!! read more

A must try. Friendly and informative staff. Been there a few times and will continue. Last time though, ordered 2 entrées, when I opened the bag one was missing. Called but it was to late, said to stop by tomorrow, but didn't have time to stop by. It cost them a star. read more

Traveling through the Merrillville area on a Sunday and Saigon Noodle House was only Resturant close to Interstate 65 with a 10:00 am opening - serving lunch. We are from location one hour ahead of local time so was in mood for lunch and we are so happy we stumbled upon this resturant. We enjoy Pho and vermicelli and both were as good or the best we have ever eaten anywhere! Portions are large and price is average. Waitress recommended soup- Mi Sate Bo #6- best soup I have ever eaten if you like a moderately spicy soup. Spicy egg noodle soup with slices of beef, minced lemongrass and red pepper. This soup was amazing and one I would drive miles to enjoy again. 5 plus Stars We also had a #4 Pho Tai Chin- Rice noodle soup with medium rare sliced beef , well done brisket. 5 plus stars. Pho was exceptional. Both was delicious! Also had a #4 Vermicelli- Yummy 5 Don't miss out on this EXCEPTIONAL resturant! Efficient, helpful staff and timely, prompt service! Casual sit down dining- with fancy, yummy fixin's! read more

I was in town looking for a place to grab dinner and this was well rated in the area. When we arrived the place only had two other parties but it took awhile for them to seat us. Once seated we then waited awhile to put our order in. It seemed like there was only 1 person running the front of house. We ordered a pork bahn mi, combination fried rice, combination pho, pork chop plate and a fresh coconut juice. The fresh coconut juice came out after all the other items were brought to the table and to my surprise, was in a can. The pork chop plate was the star as it was a nice sized pork chop with rice and a sunny side egg. The rest of the meal was disappointing to say the least. My bahn mi was the hardest piece of bread imaginable. It was so hard all the way through but the meat was tasty. The combination fried rice had little to no flavor and the pho was pretty average. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you really needed to satisfy a craving and couldn't make it to Chicago. But if you do decide to dine here, proceed with caution and don't expect a top notch experience. read more

It was nice to have this authentic Vietnamese noodle restaurant in the area to check out. We were looking for a light, quick dinner and this place was perfect and hit the spot. It's only 4 months old, and it's clean and casual. The menu is pretty extensive with pho (noodle soup) selections and other vermicelli and rice selections. We had a bowl of pho ($8.45 for a large bowl with eye round plus tendon), and a couple of vermicelli dishes with grilled beef and pork chop. Assorted Vietnamese beverages are also served. Every area should have a Vietnamese style place to pick from, and for Merrillville, this is it. read more

Pho was really good and authentic tasting. Appetizers were tasty. They package the take out perfectly. I highly recommend.

I was overjoyed when first I heard of a Vietnamese restaurant coming to NWI. As far as I know, it is unique in the category. I have eaten Pho in Seattle, in Vancouver BC, in Sacramento, in Wichita, in Nashville, in Vietnam, in Chicago and now in Merrillville. How does Saigon Noodle House's Pho stack up? Delicious broth, spiced appropriately. Authentic taste. I love Pho Bo Vien, with the meatball, and this was the familiar chewy, dense meatball I have come to enjoy. Rice noodles cooked perfectly. Accompanying add-in's a little on the skimpy side. Yes bean sprouts, yes jalapenos, yes basil. Not very much of it though. No cilantro. Portion of soup fair for the price. I've gotten HUGE portions for the same price elsewhere, but then again I usually can't finish those ginormous servings. So we're going to give the SNH Pho a three star. Bahn Mi Thit Nuong...the classic Vietnamese sandwich. I've had these everywhere too, and the SNH version is good. Could use more veggies in them, less soy sauce and more rice vinegar on the pickled carrots. No daikon present, which is a must. Good amount of pork (apparantly you can get Bahn Mi in beef too but pork is the only way to go), grilled to succulence. At $4.50 a pop, a bit on the pricey side, considering you can get monster Bahn Mi's on the west coast for half that. But if you are the only game in town, you can charge what you want and I will happily pay it. Bahn Mi gets three stars. (I ordered two to go, and I will buy them again) Fried spring roll....meh. They were hot, but pretty average. Two stars. Strawberry smoothie, with fresh fruit and tapioca pearls? Good. Pricey at $4.50. Service was dour, but fine. Good food, slightly overpriced for the serving size, but I will return. Since they don't have their menu posted online, I uploaded a scan of it for your convenience. Check the pictures. read more

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Yes! The place is cleaner... yay! It was weird. I walked in and it was apparent immediately. Then I was informed of new management. Umm... Yes. Good stuff. Their prices have gone up a couple dollars but their portions have gotten a bit bigger. I have not one problem with that. =] I can't wait to go back. I love Vietnamese noodles... read more

I love this place. The pho is consistently good, and the sprouts are always fresh. I usually start with some spring rolls and lick the peanut/ hoisin sauce clean. If you get the bun, try the pork with fried spring rolls. Yeah, I like rolled food I guess. The other soups are also tasty, and my mom recently enjoyed the lemongrass and pepper chicken rice. My recommendation is check the hours before you go. They've changed a few times since I've been going. read more
