My friend and I love Saigon Noodles! They have a pretty large dining area and also a bar (it's not open during the day, but I think they're open at night for dinner service). We were seated quite fast; they were also quick to check back in to take our orders and bring our drinks. Our server was also really patient with some substitutions and requests. That was really appreciated. I ordered a taro milk tea drink with boba, and a wonton soup with rice noodles instead of egg noodles, extra jalapenos, bean sprouts and basil. My friend ordered a mango smoothie drink with boba and chicken pho with jalapenos, basil and lemon/lime. It was freezing when we came in, so the soup and pho were extra delicious and warmed us right up! I had been craving some taro milk tea honestly, and this drink just hit the right spot! Overall, we had a really great experience and would not hesitate to come back and to recommend!
Food was pretty good, though not the most traditional. Flavors in the BBH were robust..more beefy less traditional BBH random trimmings. The banh xeo offering was odd - should have pork and shrimp but we were asked to pick one. Food took a while to deliver and gratuity was pre-added to the check. We didn't mind in our instance since service was fine, but what if service was terrible? Shouldn't be pre-added. Large restaurant space, with a whole separate side that was closed off. The open space was about half full.
We were on our way elsewhere on foot in Arlington seeking food after 9:30 P.M., but we liked the looks of Saigon Noodles and stopped in and were not disappointed. We were greeted by the host and promptly seated at one of the cloth draped tables and presented with sizeable, formal-looking menu books with a good variety of Viet noodle dishes, banh mi, and so much more. I settled on a shrimp and vegetable stir fry which was delicious and generous in quantity, and though I can't remember what my friend decided on, he was well pleased with that as well. Table service was quiet and efficient, And we didn't have to wait long for the food though at nearly 10:00 p.m. there weren't many people in the restaurant to cause a wait. Clean, not quite formal but well above fast-casual ambiance, no blaring TVs. Prices were more than reasonable. We were greeted on entry and thanked on the way out. Would definitely go again. Recommend.
I am glad I gave this restaurant a try. I was in the Arlington area and wanted to treat my family to a Vietnamese dinner. Originally we were going to go to Pho 75 but decided to try a new place. Service: There was only one waitstaff working at time so service was slow. But I felt bad for him as he did the best he could. We still were able to get the things we needed albeit a little slower than it would fully staffed. Food: Bo Luc Lac/shaky beef was very flavorful and the beef was tender. I like how there was fresh and fried onions as toppings. My nephews had the beef pho and they enjoyed it! They are picky when it comes to pho so if they finish their whole bowl; you know it's good! I would come back to this establishment to try their other menu items!
Quite spacious restaurant, has a patio seating outside. Extensive menu options for both drinks and food. Was craving for beef banh mi, it was lacking a little sauce but it was excellent Shrimp rice paper rolls with peanut sauce was the best!!! Will be back soon to try more:) Also they include automatic 18% for any party.
We love Saigon Noodles and Grill, it's been our go-to pho place for a long time. The pho is always consistent and with the large, you can very easily get two meals out of it. We've tried a few of the appetizers and the summer rolls are the best, I wouldn't recommend most of the fried options. We tried the bubble tea for the first time and were pretty disappointed, however. The blackmilk tea was pretty frozen and had an odd taste, and the taro was fine, not great. We probably won't be ordering bubble tea again. We typically order out but when we go for pickup, the staff we've interacted with are kind and the space is large.
We order from here regularly on ubereats. Our meals are consistently packed well. We ordered our "go-to" bbq beef bahn mi and bbq pork vermicelli to share since we couldn't decide between the two. The bahn mi was good. The bread used has a good crust and held the contents well. It was packed with bbq beef, that was tasty, and my favorite items--pickled veggies, cilantro and cucumber. There was also a small strip of jalepeno, which I don't really care for (personal preference). But the whole sandwich was enjoyable. Bbq pork and spring roll vermicelli plate is one of my favorite things. The bbq pork was good with that slight bbq char and it was served with vermicelli noodles that were cooked well. It came with the pickled veggies and some salad (lettuce and cucumber and bean sprouts). I enjoy getting the one spring roll, it's usually enough for me to have the one crispy, meaty roll. And the side veggies were all good with the sauce. I dump it on everything--the veggies and noodles and dip the meat and spring roll in it!
Just low quality. If a Vietnamese restaurant can't make a flavorful pho... the chicken pho was just flavorless, meat was dry, majority of the bowl was all noodle. Never got waited on either, so paying the 18% service tax I'm not sure why except that the owner isn't paying them a living wage.
I will start by saying that the staff is very friendly and attentive so I'd give Saigon Grill 5 stars for service along but unfortunately we were disappointed with our food. While my boba smoothie was great, both the papaya salad and spring roll noodle dish were bland. The papaya salad had an unusual texture and neither the papaya nor shrimp tasted fresh. I'd recommend just stopping by for a boba drink.
I came here with my friend because... okay, I don't really like the pho at the restaurant across the street (very unpopular opinion, but that's mine) so I wanted to try the alternative, which is Saigon Noodles & Grill. The restaurant is definitely a lot cleaner and spacious - my friend and I got our waters and menus pretty quickly. We also got our food reasonably fast. PHO: Tái, Nạm, Gầu, Gân, Sách (SMALL) - 13 If you want the large bowl, you just pay an extra $1 for a slightly bigger bowl but I really think it's just more noodles. Upon first sip, the broth was perfectly flavorful - a clean and clear broth that isn't too oily. The noodles were overcooked and tasted pretty soggy to me and there was so much of it in a small bowl. The ratio of noodles to broth was too much, which led to bland and starchy tasting broth after a bit. They don't give you a lot of meat here - the quality of the meat was just OK. I think I only had a small piece of tripe or two. Again, way too much noodles, more than I could finish. I rather have more broth than noodles to avoid diluting the flavors of the broth. We were able to finish our meal without feeling rushed within 40 minutes after stepping into the restaurant. Not sure if I'd come back here if I'm craving pho.
Reviews are mixed. Many praise the flavorful Vietnamese dishes, extensive menu, and pleasant atmosphere.

My roomies and I wanted some pho! We were planning on going to Pho 75 but line was too long. Found this gem right across the street. Service was very friendly. Mr. & Mrs. very chill, and smiley :) The chairs , table, and water cup were a bit dusty, but I am also just OCD about that kind of things so could be just me. I ordered the Pho and spring rolls. Spring rolls were good, very packed with the noodles though. Wanted to taste the meat and shrimp a bit more, so maybe less of the noodles would be good. Sauce was yummy. This place is the second Pho place I have tried. I really liked how the sauce was not too over-flavored as that was something I noticed at the first restaurant I went to! The noodles were well cooked, and the meat was good - although some had a bit more fat than others. Good portions as well. The wait time was OK, but we did have to wait for a little bit. We went when it was not flooded with people, so I am assuming the wait time would be longer during busier hours. Overall, satisfied with the food here! Pho is always a great way to spend a rainy day in D.C. read more
I read that Rosslyn had some of the best Viet food in DC, so I eagerly walked from the metro station only to find out that Pho 75 was closed, which was fair, granted that Tet was the next day. Thankfully, Saigon Noodles & Grill was across the street and also had great reviews. The place had a different decor than most Viet places I'd been to, but still felt like an immigrant American experience, which felt cozy and recognisable to me. The place was booming, so the service was a bit slow, despite the 18% mandatory gratuity. However, this family business was doing their best. I went with the summer rolls and the special pho -- both were good. The summer rolls came with the hoisin peanut sauce which was sweet and had the consistency I prefer. The pho broth was good enough, though I'd had better. I would have liked the flank steak to not have been cooked so thoroughly, but that might just be a NY preference. All in all, a positive experience. read more

All I can say is WOW! I'm so glad I found this place and I will be returning. The broth for this pho has to be award-winning because I have never had anything like it. I didn't need to add any additional fixes to my pho either. I loved the crispy spring rolls. They were huge too! The inside was so nice and the service was spectacular. Everyone was so kind and kept ensuring we were ok and had everything we need. The decor was so elegant and all of the furniture looked pretty modern. Just know I will be coming back here very often! read more

Beautiful indoor dinning atmosphere and perfect for date night! They even have a separate bar section and it was huge! Hubby and I stopped in to fulfill my pho crave and the menu offered so many options, we struggled to agree on what to order. We started with summer rolls and fried quails with some Tsing Tao. Of course I ended up with the bun hue (love my super spicy foods) as my main dish and Hubby went with loc lac as his (shaky beef). They make their own spicy oil in-house and we definitely added it to everything! We enjoyed our time dining and chatting and ordered probably 3 rounds of beers. Jovi (the owner) was a hoot and definitely came to check in on us multiple times. Hubby ended up with a second round of fried quails and I got a bubble tea and a combo banh mi to go. It wasn't busy when we went (Thursday late afternoon/evening). I wish the meat wasn't sliced so thick (only con of the food experience) but overall, we enjoyed the food and definitely our time there. read more

This is my FAVORITE Pho spot in all of the DMV. I have eaten here a million times and will continue to do so because it it's my guilty pleasure. The Pho is delicious, well flavored, great meats/veggies, and made with love. They have amazing spring rolls too with a yummy peanut sauce to accompany it. The service in the restaurant is great. The prices are even better. The staff is so so nice and you can tell they're very genuine. It has almost a family feel to it which makes me love eating there even more. I have ordered to go as well through uber eats and it's so good even at home. I feel like some restaurants suck when you get it delivered to your house but this place is great at home and great at their location. I prefer this spot over the pho spot across the street in my opinion. Saigon noodles & grill is lowkey slept on. One time they got my order wrong (forgot to bring my spring rolls) and to make up for it they sent me 2 extra free orders of spring rolls/egg rolls! They put their customers first and the food is so amazing and warm to the soul. read more

First of all, Saigon noodles is not your typical Vietnamese pho place, and it doesn't claim to be. This restaurant highlights staples in the Vietnamese cuisine with its extensive menu ranging from various soups, rice dishes, and "specialty dishes". While not 100% authentic it is as close as it can get while catering to its target Arlington demographic. With that in mind I was pleasantly surprised how good this place was. Walking in, the restaurant itself is big with ample seating and a great bar area. It was late on a weeknight so we were seated quickly and our food came out super fast. Our table got a few apps to share with the papaya salad and quail being the stars of the show. For my main I got the spicy noodle soup (bun Bo hue). Let me tell you, while it was tasty, it was definitely central Vietnam spicy. If you can take the heat this dish is for you. Luckily I was too full from the apps I didn't need to finish my bowl to be full, but what I did eat was good. My friends got the pho and they beef and rice dish. The portion of pho was on the small side compared to a regular pho restaurant but this is the only place I know that still has a $13 bowl of pho with an adequate amount of meat in it, so I'm okay with it. The broth was on the lighter side but still good. I didn't try the beef dish but I was told it was delicious. If you're in the area and are looking to branch out to different Vietnamese dishes outside of Pho and Banh Mi, this is a great spot for you. Happy eating! read more

DINING-IN during COVID time: Last Saturday, and today, I wanted to take my date for Pho. He has never had it. It's been so cold in the DMV. So, Pho is a real vibe right now ! We started with Spring Rolls (vegetable) and Crispy shrimp rolls. It was very tasty. I had the hot tea to relax me. For my entree, I ordered the # 17 pho.-- Chín, Nạm, Gầu, Gân, Sách. It included slices of well-done brisket, flank, and , soft tendon & tripe. I asked for the fat to be removed from my order! The service is great and they aren't trying to rush you out! read more
Grabbed lunch here on a Monday afternoon and it wasn't too busy at all! I easily got a table for eight and there was still so much seating available. The restaurant's located on the corner of a pretty busy intersection in Arlington. There's street parking pretty available as well as a small parking lot across the street. They have an extensive selection of pho, rice dishes, and appetizers. I had the grilled pork with vermicelli noodles and it was so good! The pork was grilled and seasoned to perfection with well balanced portions of peanuts, lettuce, bean sprouts, and cucumber. As for the price of everything, nothing was over $14. The small size pho was $13 and the large was $14 which wasn't too big of a cost difference with the bowl size being way bigger. There were so many options on the menu that I'd definitely want to come back and try more! read more

Like many others on Yelp, I went to this place because Pho 75 was closed. It's crazy that slight nuances in a dish that you could not possibly recreate makes the experience completely different in another place. I think this place is a good temporary alternative to Pho 75 but I don't think it can be a substitute nor replacement. Food 4/5: To be fair, the food wasn't bad. But with the abundance of options merely miles away and the benchmark to be the pho across the street, I thought the broth lacked a hint of special flavor and was $1 too expensive (which is big, in pho-terms). Service 4/5: Service was straightforward and nothing to complain about. Cleanliness 4/5: The place is being Covid-safe. Ambiance 3.5/5: Perhaps my lackluster experience was because of the ambiance. This place used to be a wine store/specialty food place and is quite spacious. The current decor tries to be a mix between fine Asian dining and upscale casual, but something feels off. Perhaps it's the fact that the lighting was spotty or that the place is still figuring out its brand identity. But again, compared to Pho 75 which is a no-frills pho place, this place leaves me questioning, "Is it a no-frills place? Is it trying to be fancier?" Once these questions are answered, I think the dining experience would be better. read more
The food is aromatic and healthy! The pho broth is delicate, clear and composed nicely of authentic spices. I also make it at home so I am picky. There was a good ratio of meat to noodles. The staff is attentive and very friendly. Prices are decent. The decor and ambiance are exotic and casual. Bathrooms are clean. I would definitely visit here again. I'm excited to try more of their dishes! read more
I'm not sold on this place. I've been here twice and both times service was horrible. My last visit we waited for 5 minutes before they said we could just pick an empty table. Once seated we waited for 10 minutes and then asked for menus. While my wife and kids liked their meals, mine was unimpressive. We only went because of the time but I regret not finding something else. read more
We decided to support our mom and pop neighborhood restaurant for a late night dinner and were pleased to stop by at Saigon Noodles & Grill. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a warm welcome and seated immediately. Our waitress brought out water right away and answered any questions we had regarding the menu. I ordered the Lemongrass Pho and my boyfriend ordered the traditional Pho. Our meal came out in a timely manner! We appreciated the meat to broth to noodles ratio--and on top of that the condiments tasted fresh. I really enjoyed my pho and the portions were extremely generous. The owner even greeted us and checked up on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. If you are looking for excellent service and get good bang for your buck, I highly recommend Saigon Noodles & Grill. read more

We always pass this spot and finally decided to give it a try. Ordered a little of everything...from pho, banh mi, and a stir fry (lemongrass chicken). Everything was very tasty, but the stir fry was just a bit on the salty side. Staff was very nice and fast to cater. Family seemed to enjoy and will definitely be back! Enjoy read more
I absolutely love this place. Family owned and operated gem in the heart of Arlington Rosslyn area. Super authentic and tasty food over here. The service is really great and so is the clean and simple ambiance. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue soup and a Bahn Mi with beef. Let me tell you something. If you like really amazing soup that's spicy and perfect! It's the Bun Bo Hue. Along with my soup was my Bahn Mi sandwich which was also very good. They have some places around Arlington that are a lot of hype but this is a hidden gem is everything I'm telling you it is, a GEM !! read more
