I have been here a few times, and am always greeted and seated quickly. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the food is fresh, hot, and awesome, and to top it off it is very reasonably priced. The wait is never very long. It is my go to spot in this area for Pho. I highly recommend! Give them a try! read more

Saigon noodles....this is the place I use as a base for all my other pho experiences. When I taste any other place's pho I always compare it to Saigon......none compare. This establishment wows me EVERY SINGLE TIME! Today I started off with Vietnamese iced coffee, and I have to be honest. I'm a little upset......I'm angry with myself for never having ordered this before when it is DELICIOUS! It has such a strong coffee flavor and just the right amount of sweet and bitter; they balanced each other out PERFECTLY! 12/10 I got kimchi sriracha fries 8/10 super yummy and flavorful. The rare eye-round steak pho is always the BEST, but it's exceptionally good when the regular beef broth is traded for the spicy Bun Bo Hue broth instead!!!!! 10/10 The service is always great and I love that it's such a quiet hidden gem. Most people get to go so the inside is quiet and peaceful! I will never not RAVE about this place! read more

My favorite pho shop in Baton Rouge. The menu is different. The inside is the same. Small and clean. We ordered chicken pho and fried calamari. They looks and taste are also different from what I know many years ago when I used to live here. Overall still good and tasty. Maybe new management or owner? I will keep visiting whenever I'm in Baton Rouge. Our server Mel was very polite and very well mannered. read more

One of my favorite Places to visit while in Baton Rouge! Seriously every visit in this city I must grab some spicy shrimp Pho from Saigon Noodles. Great flavor not oily and watered down like most Pho. Don't forget to try the freshly squeezed lemonade. read more

My how time changes things. Customer service is not the best. The place is also dark and dismal, floor is sticky and table tops are sticky as well. The clear noodle soup still is good, but the overall atmosphere and cleanliness must improve. The business used to be much more swift, it has been very slow and most of the time I'm in the place by myself. Others must be feeling the same, also there are other places offering a nicer atmosphere and cleaner dining experience. Take heed before you all are out of business. read more

I was greeted as soon as I walked in and I loved that they were playing Christmas music (I went 2 weeks ago but forgot to post my review). I ordered a thai tea and it was good, but to me, really sweet. I ordered some milk to make it less sweet but it didn't work. For an appetizer, I ordered calamari. 10/10 because they deep fried jalapeño peppers too and it made the dish so good. You have to be careful though because they are a bit spicy. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet and without any sauces, it was okay. Once I added siracha, hoisin (usually only add when it lacks a bit of flavor) and chili oil, it tasted a lot better. My cousin ordered Bun Bo Hue and she didn't really like it. I tried it and it lacked the authentic BBH flavor. I'll definitely come back to try their other foods because this restaurant is promising. read more

I've been in Louisiana for about two weeks now and finally had a noodle craving. I'm originally from San Francisco where these noodle shops are prominent (almost like a Starbucks), so I am always a bit weary when choosing a place like this. I arrived around 4 - 5p on a Tuesday and it was empty. An older lady had ordered to-go and was on her way out, and one of the cooks was setting up his table to have his lunch. It's a subtle environment with Asian R&B/soul music playing in the background. It was a nice element for me because R&B/soul is my ish! No matter the ethnicity. I was about to order the typical beef or chicken pho but remembered how I normally test for a quality chef/recipe; and that was through the ordering of spring rolls w/ peanut sauce and the spicy noodle soup, Bun Bo Hue. This dish is one of the more difficult dishes to make based off of what my Vietnamese friends say back home :shrug:. So I'm always ordering it when I'm in a new Vietnamese restaurant. I was shocked! I always taste the soup first before anything else and there was just a nice balance of flavors. I added all the condiments + lime, stirred, flipped, and gave the condiments a few minutes to "steep". I took a scoop of soup again and BOOM! POW! It was even better! Back home in San Francisco, this dish usually has cubes of congealed pig blood and not enough meat. But this didn't have it! I was surprised but thrilled at the same time. Because I'm not a fan of the pig blood and enjoyed the balanced amount of meat. Whoever was the chef at this hour was on point! This was the best Bun Bo Hue I've ever had, hands down. If y'all looking for an oriental spot for some spicy noodle soup around town, I highly recommend this place! The spring rolls were on point too! I forgot to take a picture but it was a lot bigger than California's spring rolls. Cali cheap af. Always cutting costs... anywayyyys. The spring rolls here are much bigger and has complete shrimps in the roll, not halves :facepalm: (smh California). read more

We ordered their famous sirarcha kimchi fries. They were so so good. The crispiness from the fries, sour taste from kimchi, the meat and the sauces and all dipping in the egg yolk from the fried egg everything blended so good with each other enhancing the taste to next level. We also ordered House special Pho and their bird nest dish (not sure what the actual name is but its the choice of our meat with veggies and sauce over crispy fried egg noodles). Everything tasted very authentic just that the birds nest dish was a little sweet taste than what we would like ( doesn't mean it didn't taste good). read more

I've been wanting to try Saigon Noodles out for quite some time now since I relocated to BR. I mean coming from Nola, BR doesn't really have many great Vietnamese restaurants. Now I can finally say I think I've found one to add to the short short list! First walking in, the restaurant is super small yet nice to say from the location. Surprisingly wasn't busy on a Sunday afternoon! The menu is simple and not overwhelming. I'd say the prices are pretty decent for the serving sizes they offer. Hubs and I ordered the sugarcane shrimp as a starter and it was pretty good. Not too much to critic about it. I will say, the wait for our food took a lot longer than expected considering there was only like 3 out of the 6 tables available to sit in the restaurant were occupied. However, food did come out piping hot! I ordered the Mi Xao Don (crispy stir fried noodles) w/ beef. Honestly, I thought the portion was pretty small but considering it was only like $9.. it's decent. Hubs ordered the BBH (bun bo hue) per usual and he said it was pretty tasty. I honestly think the lemongrass was a bit too over powering. All in all, I'd definitely come back to try the other options but would definitely consider calling ahead to see if there's seating available considering it's a very tiny place. read more

I am on a personal hunt to find thee best Pho. I absolutely loooooove pho. The thing is though, I don't usually stop at the same pho spot twice. With that said...I will come here over and over again. It was soooooo flavorful and good. I ordered the shrimp pho and added chicken. It had so many shrimp. I mean it seemed like I kept just finding shrimp in that bowl coming out of nowhere. Hahaha!! To add I ordered some egg rolls. Those were awesome too. Loved them. And OMG I was turned on to Thai Tea to a point where I've been trying to find recipes to make my own....I did, I failed, I'll just go back to Saigon for more of it all! I was very well pleased. :-) read more

I really enjoyed the pho here. The soup was clean, clear but rich, very delicious. Vegetables were good amount but not too cleaned up. Overall small dining area but had enough people come in during the raining day. There's many who had take out as well. Prices were reasonable and small things like chipped dishes can be ignored. Only thing I have is that large Pho wasn't as large as most places. Otherwise this place is a fantastic place! read more

Okay the Hu Tieu is delicious. I went in and looked at the menu. It's quite good with a lot pho and other options. As a Hu Tieu lover I had to try it. It's so good with quail eggs, pork, a piece of sausage, and shrimp. I just wish there were more Quail eggs but then I always wish for that. Lol. The soup base was warm and yummy, I subbed pho noodles for the glass noodles and it was perfect. Just as some sriracha and perfection. BTW they bring both basil and cilantro which is awesome. read more

As many times as I've been here, I've never had a bad thing to say about them! This is definitely my go to Vietnamese restaurant in Baton Rouge! The restaurant is a small and quaint place. It's definitely a great place to satisfy your cravings for pho, rice, or vermicelli dishes! I usually order the Bun Bo Hue which is a beef based noodle soup with a variety of different meats! The perfect cure for when the weather decides to have a 20 degree drop! The Grilled Pork with Rice dish is another one of my favorites! The pork is very well-seasoned and they provide the perfect portion. It also comes with a fried egg on top along with a small bowl of soup. Overall, I love Saigon Noodle! Their prices are affordable and the food hits the spot! I come here almost every Sunday so it's more of a tradition for me. But I've never been disappointed in the food or service! read more

My first time here after craving some pho for a while. We had a group of 6 and had no trouble getting a table. Everyone raved about the hot tea which i did not have, but it seemed to be a favorite. Friends got some appetizers - a few rolls and the wings. he chicken wrap was really good and the peanut sauce was just the right flavor. I got the beef pho (P21), and it was really good. The main reason my friends recommend this place is because the broth for the pho is not over powering. It is light and more bland so you can taste the meat. Spiced it up and ate the whole thing. The service was good and they were patient as our group trickled in. By the time we left, there was a line waiting to come in. The atmosphere was nice with some interesting wall decor. I'll certainly be back or get some delivery from here. read more

Even though I've moved quite far away after the flood of 2016 in Baton Rouge, I still visit this restaurant as often as I can. I just visited again today and so had to say how much I still love these guys. read more

Saigon Noodles - Bun bo hue (Spicy beef noodle). I got it to go from Saigon Noodle. The large size that I put in a very large bowl at my house. - Vietnamese Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Not the closest place to get pho to south BR, but worth the drive up past Florida. Having read the reviews and not been there, we took the drive to North BR to get a Vietnamese food fix. We ordered Pho, chicken wings and eggrolls. The eggrolls were good, but I would have liked them better served with more lettuce and herbs to wrap them in. The chicken wings were a bit to sweet for me, but the flavor was good (spicy, salty and sweet). The pho was the star. The piping hot broth covered a mound of meat and veggies. Lots of noodles to slurp up. The flavor of the broth was light, but good. The large provided us with leftovers to take home and enjoy for lunch another day. read more

Saigon Noodles is a very good choice for Vietnamese food in Baton Rouge. They are conveniently located on Sherwood Forest, just north of its junction with Florida Boulevard. It's located in a strip mall, with a variety of other businesses that cater to the needs of the Asian-American community. This includes a Asian grocery, which is a fun place to shop while in the area. My favorite thing at Saigon Noodles is their rolls! They have Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter varieties, each with their own special fillings and dipping sauces. Of course pho and other noodle soups are a menu staple, and are very good indeed. Then there are the rice and noodle dishes, of which there are a nice variety. Saigon Noodles really stands out on presentation. Their dishes all seem to have that special attention to appearance that adds to the enjoyment. Grilled shrimp, for example, will always be nice and large and have nice grill marks, and will be positioned right on top where they stand out. The rolls are cut in half, so one can see the fillings, and are served in a bowl that resembles a big soup-spoon. The decor of the restaurant also shows that they are trying to impress. read more

Saigon Noodles - Spicy Shrimp Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I want to be completely honest here. For one I have been eating here since Saigon Noodles first opened. The first few years I never thought the Pho was the greatest so I always just ordered Com Suong or Com Bo Luc Lac instead. And they were great!! Always satisfied my cravings! However, the last two times I've been in in the last couple weeks, I tried the pho again. It has changed!! Idk if the recipe changed or a different cook but it is now my favorite! I highly recommend it! Also they have great customer service. Very nice and clean inside. And when you call in to order to go it's usually ready super fast! I never have to wait. Oh and the Da Chanh is pretty great too!! read more

In my top 3 for pho! Love the environment. I can go in with friends for lunch and enjoy the hungry hour special of pho or go in alone at any time with my laptop and get some work done! Extremely friendly staff read more

I would tell you that you can't go wrong with an order from Saigon Noodle, but considering I almost always order the same dish (rare beef pho), I can't necessarily give that advice. However I can say that this pho is not to be missed. Everyone I go here with enjoys their food, no matter what they order. We love the sleek, modern atmosphere, and the service is always friendly. If you're in this neighborhood, then you know you have many options for Viet cuisine. Saigon Noodle is usually the one I choose when given those options. I think that says a lot. read more

It's not that good..... that's all... that's the post the chicken and shrimp was flavorful but everything else was bland

I came here with very high expectations, a friend of mine highly recommended this place and told me this was the best in town. The place has a cousy decoration, nice art in the walls, the waiters are very nice and smile to you as soon as you walked in. My friend had told me that their pho was the best he had every tried, so I decided to take his suggestion and try it. I ordered beef pho, asking the waiter to help me to choose what type of beef to order. The food came and it was nice size bowl (though I have seen bigger in other places), with all the herbs, sauce and lime, it had a very good smell, the flavor was ok, but in my opinion not enough to say that it was "the best in town"... Another detail is that it was missing beef! It literally had three or four pieces. (Very soft, so in that I give credit to the waiter), but it is the first time I eat a pho with so little beef... I would like to say that during my first visit my expectations were met, but they weren't... I also tried to get some Thai tea and they ran out of it, so I couldn't... :( I guess in the future I'll try again and see how that goes, but for now I can't give more than three stars, because the place is cute and the service was nice, staff is friendly and very helpful, but I'm not impressed by the food... If you are going to this place because you like comfortable/cute Asian decorations and don't mind much about the real real deal (food wise), this is your place! But if you are going there for the food, I would check other options in the area with better flavors and cheaper prices. read more

I remember when Saigon noodles just opened up, I frequent there many times in college. Saigon noodles holds a special place in my heart for being my favorite Vietnamese place in Baton Rouge. Consistency was something they always had, my usuals are the pho dac biet( combination pho), bun Bo Hue and lastly the Autumn rolls! The pho is always so fresh and delicious, the broth is on the milder side to me compared to other places but that's just the way I like it. The bun Bo Hue is also probably my favorite one in Baton rouge too. Spicy and refreshing with blood and pork knuckle in there just tops it off perfectly. Lastly the Autumn rolls are my favorite spring rolls to get here. Crunchy interior with pork in their as well as pineapple sauce on the side compliments it with true harmony. Overall Saigon noodles does a great job in many aspects of different dishes and having great specials as well throughout the week! read more

Growing up, I wasn't a fan of Viet food even though I'm half Vietnamese. As I have gotten older, and spending a few months in Vietnam, I now have an appreciation for their cuisine. This particular day, I took a good friend out for Pho. Truth is, I just needed a date for lunch. Lol. We shared their spring rolls (pork and shrimp rolls); and 6pc crispy roasted quail which was cooked in this sweet yet slightly spicy sauce. Yummy but sticky! We also ordered an order of their sugar cane shrimp (shrimps that has been minced to a paste, seasoned and then skewered in to a piece of sugar cane...and deep fried). Lol my friend ordered the Pho Dac Biet. The broth was ok, a bit too heavy on the five-spice/anise stars. I ordered their grilled shrimps and grilled pork vermicelli bowl on top of fresh veggies. Although the grilled pork (thit nuong) cuts were a little thinner than other restaurants, it was perfectly seasoned and cooked! You can't visit a Vietnamese restaurant and not try their Vietnamese coffee! Most more traditional restaurants has a drip-coffee filter placed over a cup w/ a couple tsp of condense milk. This location seem to serve pre-made iced coffee. The espresso flavor wasn't strong enough for me read more

Good Vietnamese option in BR. I had the pho tai, and I would've liked for the meat to be less cooked by the time it arrived at the table, but maybe next time I'll just ask for it on the side and put it in myself. Aside from that, everything was swell during our visit. I'll be back when I'm craving pho while in Baton Rouge. read more

I believe this is the best pho in Baton Rouge. Not to mention Saigon Market is so close and bubble tea right next door. I always get the M45 - comes with egg noodles, dumplings, shrimp, and BBQ pork. I know, everyone says Dang's is the best, but I don't see how it can get any better than here. Prices are great and the staff is cool. This is the place for PHO in BR!!!! Little secret: When you order PHO ask for a side of shrimp paste and spicey chili sauce but just a WARNING don't be heavy handed when adding. read more

I only gave them a four-star because the food is excellent; however, I'm not a fan of communal seating. Also, check your ticket before you leave. I was accidentally charged $131.41 for six spring rolls. The casher wasn't attentive and almost walked away until I signaled her attention and pointed out the error. Imagine, if I had gone home, I could only imagine how difficult it would have been to have them correct the ticket. It's always an impression as if you are there to cheat them. lol. You deal with it or don't eat; I get the vibe. read more

I came to this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation. I stay in the hotel zone in the college/corporate area of Baton Rouge where there are no places for a bowl of Pho. Came here on a Saturday with a few friends and decided to check out their Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Beef and Pork Soup with thick Hue style rice noodles). The service here is very fast and the staff is very friendly. When the Bun Bo Hue came out, it was served in a fancier bowl than normally expected, which was pleasing to the eye. The broth was nice but not great, as I've had better Bun Bo Hue in the West Coast (Litlle Saigon in Garden Grove, CA). At my favorite place in Orange County CA, they pile on the meat (beef shank, crab/shrimp balls, pork loaf, beef tendon, pork feet and pork blood cake) with a ratio equal to the noodles in the bowl. At Saigon Noodles, the amount of meat is not generous in fact it's bordering on stingy. There is options to add extra meat $1.99 for 1 type of meat and $2.99 for 2 types of meats. However I normally don't ask for that at Pho places in the west coast but will know better this time on my next trip to Saigon Noodles I'll recommend this place to friends with the caveat about the amount of meat they put in their Pho and Bun Bo Hue. read more
