Went once at the suggestion of a friend and didnt love it first time because on delivery a few requests were not covered, but then during all this Covid 19 shut down Ive been wanting Pho alot and they are one of the only places that deliver to me... So we went one night & the BF LOVED a rice plate so he was hooked and now we have been going 2x a week. The pho is great, they often put up with my many requests and asks for extras and sides. Super fast delivery (through GrubHub) portions are great, food is always fresh. Now just need to figure out if its them or Driver who keeps spilling stuff in the bags?! Would def recommend going & trying many things, its all good! read more

The food is good but the service really sucks. I waited for 30 minutes and asked the waiter if it was ready. He was really rude and said just wait. I finally got my coffee for another 20 minutes. The food is good and I recommend takeout so you don't tip for the terrible service read more

I don't know why this restaurant is only rated at 3.5 stars- it's a small, no-frills, family-run restaurant that serves DELICIOUS pho. We got a small and a large and both were packed with noodles and meat. The broth was delicious, if only a touch on the oily side. An affordable, great-tasting meal! read more

Awesome soups for a cold day like today I also get the special fried rice, I strongly recommend to try it

I'm giving the restaurant a 1 because of the way they handled my complaint today. Today, 9/17/2021, 4:30 PM I picked up an $80 take out order. On the way home, the soup leaked through the bag into the passenger side seat cushion. I immediately called the restaurant to let them know what happened. I was told that I could come back and get a new soup. I explained that it was going to be a real effort to get the smell and stain cleaned up and that giving me a replacement soup was not addressing the issue! I then asked for some amount of the bill refunded and was told the best they could do was refund my soup. I then asked to speak to the owner and was told that the owner was going to say the same thing. A restaurant that handles a legitimate complaint this way does not deserve my business! read more

NV Saigon offers delicious food. My favorite is their vermicelli with grilled pork & egg roll and fresh spring rolls with shrimp. Their fresh coconut juice with pulp is ultra refreshing! When hubby feels under the weather, he gets chicken rice porridge, an excellent alternative to chicken soup. read more

I ordered pho for delivery on a Sunday late night. Delivery instructions were to ring my doorbell, but the driver simply texted me instead. The food did arrive on time and was still warm (you will still need to reheat the soup to get it hot enough to cook the raw beef). The beef balls used have bits of tendon but also have a distinct spice flavor. The amount of noodles is good and the broth has decent taste. You will need to provide your own large bowl to assemble the pho, which can be common for take-out/delivery of pho; however, no utensils or napkins were provided. Even though I order an extra large size, only one small packet if Le Kum Kee branded siracha and oyster sauce was provided. read more

Pho was fresh and the beef was some of the highest quality I have had, but the brothe lacked a deep, rich flavor. Enjoyed the pork wontons and house-made lime soda. Definitely worth another shot but not for Pho. read more

Really good! The broth in the pho was perfect and the tofu spring rolls were delicious! I felt like I got very little meat in the pho, just because I ran out way faster than I did with noodles but maybe I was just hungry! Kind of slow service is the only downside but worth the food you get. Super nice folks working, overa better than the other Vietnamese places in Malden. read more

It was recently on a cold, dark evening that I was in the mood for some hot soup, mainly pho, and I cannot believe in my 18 years of living in Malden that I haven't eaten from this establishment. I called Saigon NV to place an order for pickup. I ordered the large beef noodle soup with rare eye round (P7) along with some white rice because I had a craving for it as well. I also asked for the hot chili oil on the side. I appeared to have gotten sriracha sauce and hoisin sauce on the side as well. The restaurant inside is very nice, and it appeared the owner was having a photo shoot of Saigon NV's dishes as I walked in. When I went up to the counter to pick up the order, I was greeted by friendly staff, and I paid for my food and walked back home. It was a 15 minute walk home and my food was still nice and hot. If you order their pho for take out, make sure you have a large bowl at home that can withstand the portion of food they give you. No joke! Back to the food review: their pho is flavorful! It comes with the sauces and a good helping of the meat described above, along with a great portion of the following: rice noodles, fresh cilantro, basil, scallions, onions, bean sprouts, a wedge of lime, and a slice of jalepeño. This all came to $12.95, plus tax. For $1 (plus tax) more I added a side of rice. All these flavors coming together feels like a symphony playing in my mouth. I also dipped my rice in the broth which added a nice taste to the rice. If you want a great quality pho at a reasonable price, Saigon NV is one of the best places in Malden to have some. read more

Twas a Saturday night, and we felt too lazy to drive to downtown and deal with the usual horrible street parking situation, nor all the way to Dorchester and Quincy...so we figured what the hell, let's try something new much closer to home. Well, the extra drive time saved was canceled out by the extra wait time we had to tolerate at this place. Yes, the place was packed but they didn't seem short staffed either: I saw at least 3 servers for what couldn't have been more than 30-40 diners. But the servers seemed to all deliberately avoid eye contact, carried out just one lousy dish at a time (for Chrissakes they seem oblivious to the use of these uber high-tech devices called TRAYS that every other place uses), took forever to bring the food to our table, and again forever to take away used dishes, and so finally when it came time to pay the bill I decided to get up and go to the cashier's station myself but even there I had to wait because the cashier was on the phone talking to a supplier freaking out that they had run out of some ingredient. Made me wonder if the servers were actually family members coerced into working there due to labor shortages, rather than full time restaurant workers? They certainly didn't act like they gave a F about their customers or their restaurant. As for the actual food? Well, it wasn't terrible and it wasn't great. They are one of very very few Vietnamese places to offer true Vietnamese-style egg rolls (made with rice paper not the wheat base paper most Asian restaurants use) but what they contained was tasteless (seemed to have yams or potatoes or some other weird non-meat filler). Similarly, they offer Vietnamese crepes but again the filling was pretty mediocre too. Surprisingly the pho soup broth wasn't bad, actually had a bit of flavor (thank you, star anise) unlike most places' where you have to drown it in hoisin sauce to make it palatable. They also have caramelized pork and catfish on the menu which I'd be curious to try, even though I would not be surprised if the actual execution turns out to be similarly underwhelming. In short, I doubt I will be coming back here anytime soon. The lousy service and amateur-hour disorganization/inefficiency is bad enough, but the food quality does not adequately compensate for it, and the prices are also a little on the higher side. Alas, it looks like I will have to give more money to the Saudi kleptocrats at this rate and resume driving out to Dorchester or Quincy whenever I want half-decent Vietnamese food. Sigh. read more

The last time I dined here, formerly know as Saigon Noodle, I wasn't too eager to return. The food wasn't bad, I just found it lacked consistency. However.... That was many years ago! I recently discovered that they are now operated by new owners, hence the name change. During these unprecedented times of covid and reopening phases, I was disappointed my go to pho establishments did not offer dine in services yet. Thanks to my trusted yelp, it brought me back here, and so glad it did! My verdict after two visits in one week, way better than Pho Bistro across the street, which I frequent often. Prices are competitive.The pho broth tasted more authentic than the latter. You can taste the quality. Now for their bun bo hue, it was mediocre. I have yet to encounter a place that can create this as best as my mother. Then again, no two restaurants nor home cooked versions taste the same, as each have their own spin. The robust spicy broth flavor was there, it just needed more lemongrass. I was also searching for pork knuckles. I felt cheated that it wasn't included in my bowl. The quintessential pork chop plate was delicious. The portion was great for the value. Very good marinade on the pork chop. I enjoyed the egg custard the most, seasoned well. And you not only get one fried egg, but two! A bonus, for those of you who understand lol. I must comment that service was a bit slow, but at no fault of their own. They were super busy, especially with all the take out orders. Trust me, every 5-10 mins, a customer would enter to pick up an order. I also think they were short on staff in the kitchen and were doing the best. Nonetheless, customer service was decent. Never once did I feel they were overwhelmed or unpleasant. They've got a repeat patron out of me. :-) FYI.. For outdoor dining, weather permitting. Two tables set up for a party of 4 max, directly out front on roped off sidewalk. read more

Recently ordered a banh canh cua (C8) and a banh ba mau (V2) through uber eats and had a pretty disappointing experience. The banh canh cua had a piece of plastic in it and the flavor was lacking. It felt like they made it using the soup cubes that you can buy at the store instead of the thicker soup consistency that I've enjoyed at other places. The banh ba mau was nothing to write home about. The spring rolls and beef were nice but the shrimp was so salty that I had to spit out the piece after taking a bite of it. Overall, would not recommend this place. read more

I said what I said. It's my favorite Vietnamese place in the Boston area, hands down. And the entire menu is spectacular. Not only are you getting some of the best grilled meats, Saigon NV's caramelized delicacies are to die for--try the caramelized fish and thank me later. And their bánh xèo is riveting. HOWEVER, one very important tip: if you order to go online on their portal--and I recommend you do since there's a discount--do be aware that their "estimated time," which is always 15 minutes, is a lie. Unlike many pho places that have your order ready as early as yesterday, Saigon NV takes its time in crafting each of its orders to perfection. Just know that your food will usually be ready in half an hour after ordering, sometimes longer on busier days. Go in with that expectation and your patience will be rewarded with epic satisfaction. read more

My go to place for takeout, fresh and authentic Vietnamese food! Pho, bun, rice plates, bo bun hue all delicious. Broth is the best in the 8-9 area Vietnamese restaurants I've eaten in. Not quite the level of LA or Houston but definitely delicious. Love the bun with shrimp beef and my weakness, fried shrimp paste with tofu skin. Yum I think I come here weekly! Friendly service and fast. Definitely recommend read more

Waited a full 30 minutes for the nastiest Banh Xeo of my life. And I've rarely seen a Banh Xeo I didn't like. This one was thick, dense, and soggy. The outside was crisped to the point of being nearly burned while the inside was a mushy mess. It came stuffed with an unbelievable number of beansprouts (who could possibly need so many??) and extremely dry, overcooked pork. This wasn't at a busy time. In fact, when my friend and I sat down, we were the only two people there. By the time we left, the lunch rush had begun in earnest and the place was filling up quickly. But seriously, there was not a single other person there when we arrived, and only two people came to pick up take-out orders before we got our food. How it took 30 minutes for our appetizer - and especially one that was such a monstrosity - is a true mystery to me. The rest of the meal was not nearly so bad. We got a soursop drink that tasted rather like a McDonald's milkshake... It wasn't bad, but there wasn't really any detectable fruit flavor. The pho was on the blander side and lacking richness, but generally all right, and the bun with grilled pork was fine. read more

The restaurant itself is small and they play no music. If you want a better dine in experience I would recommend Pho Bistro across the street. My roommates and I always get takeout from Saigon NV. Solid Viet food. But only thing that pisses me off is that if I'm ordering a rice or vermicelli plate, they give me SO LITTLE fish sauce. Not even 1/3 of my container is filled (see pictures). It is not acceptable. They just not to watch the world burn. What kind of Viet person only uses that little fish sauce?? It's happened more than once. How is anyone supposed to eat rice/vermicelli with that much Viet sauce?? I need my bowl drenched in it! I don't know why they feel the need to skimp out. read more

I've been here a handful of times. The servers always remember my boyfriend and I the moment we walk in. "Welcome back." Lol not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing haha. Love how this place is so close to me. This is a good place if you don't want to make a trip to Chinatown on a cold night. Their broth is not bad, but I've had better. They also give a good amount of noodles and beef which is hard to find a place that's not stingy and cheap. Every time I go I get P2-beef noodle soup and A8 spring rolls. P2 is always a classic. A8 is 5/5 for me. I love this every time with the peanut sauce they provide. The bang xeo (see picture) had way too much bean sprouts. Probably only 2 pieces of shrimps through out the whole order. The service here is pretty good. Seems like a family owned restaurant. This place is fairly quiet. Some times too quiet. You can barely hear the music. I feel so self conscious when I want to blow my nose. They take cards which is a plus. Also street parking is easy to find. read more

I got takeout the other day and got the grilled pork rice plate with dau hu ky. They gave plenty of pork which I was more than happy about and I had enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day. The pork was very flavorful and I especially liked the pieces that were a little charred since it added some crunch. My only cons are that I didn't like the texture or the flavor of the dau hu ky and they probably could have added more veggies on the side. read more

Let me start by saying that I love eating at this location but to order delivery from them is completely different. When I come in the XL pho is always too much and I end up bringing home what I don't finish. I decided to order some to work today (yes, I know not the same lol). They gave a large size soup container of broth, meat and noodles. I called and they explained the only difference is more noodles. I find this VERY hard to believe that there is only one soup container of broth in the XL bowl of soup. So needless to say, if you're ordering pho online, you are being scammed. read more

Bad service - no water or tea . Didn't ask us if we need anything. We gave them so many chance but they still didn't bother to give us water or tea . Even outside temp was 83 degrees. There are 3 ppl (a guy seem new, a lady maybe she is a manager and a guy probably the boss). If they didn't see us didn't have tea or water something is wrong with them. However they did asked other tables (maybe we are Asian/Chinese not Vietnamese). When we asked for the check the new guy nodded to us but then go take care other tables mess, cleaning some cups etc . We had to waive hand for other waitress to give us the check. Overall we leave no tips. We usually tips 18-20% even worst serviceWe tip around 10-15%. I will never come here again this restaurant should be boycott! To the owner you are not the only pho in Malden. I'm here to enjoy foods not to enjoy your shit. read more

Went with my boyfriend a few days ago FOOD: I got the Assorted Pho and the first thing I try is the broth. To see if the spices have seeped through and if it's clear and had that deep beef flavor. Broth was.. so-so. Acceptable after adding some sriracha and hoisin. The meat that was given to me was plentiful so that was amazing. Nice and bouncy noodles, not overdone and gave me a good portion of bean sprouts and basil. Alex got the Pork Chop with a little bit of everything. We did a little switcheroo/sharing thing. The porkchop was nice and perfectly seasoned, however, it was very small. The price was probably high due to the side dishes that came along with it. (The fried beancurd was effing amazing however. So I can't even hate on this except on the tiny chop). LOCATION: perfect if you're downtown. There was another Vietnamese place right across, among with other options that included pizza and some middle Eastern cuisine. FOOD: it's fair. For the location. However, if that was the case then I would say quite overpriced. Before this, I've never paid more than $9 for an XL pho. But I can't blame them. Rent must be hella high read more

This was an interesting and disappointing experience. The service was friendly but inattentive. We had to ask for tea and water... refills were not forthcoming. The spring rolls were ok, the meals were very mixed. The ginger chicken meal was decent. The vermicelli was ok. The beef in the beef and rice meal was nearly inedible it was so over cooked. But why do people want to go to a Pho restaurant? For the Pho, of course! The Pho soup base was flavorful. However, I totally lost my appetite when my meal, which was supposed to be beef eye round, brisket, and flank had tripe and other things I didn't want nor enjoy. I was hoping to ask the waiter about the meal but we didn't see him again after the meals arrived until I went to the register to pay the bill. I enjoy good Pho and Vietnamese food; I recommend searching elsewhere. read more

Not bad at all, for a pho joint in Malden. The broth is pretty flavorful, albeit slightly too sweet and star anise flavor. Portions are generous and price is standard. I have to say the meat quality is superb, in most places the eye round steak is usually very dry, not here, it's almost as tender as it gets. Grilled pork chop rice plate was tasty, but was maybe too flavorful for my liking. If it was toned down just a bit and made slightly sweeter it would have been perfect. Portions were on point and it was also very tender and had good char. Thank you for saving me a trip to Dorchester! read more

The food was very good, the place was clean, and the service was friendly and warm! I truly appreciated the fact that the person who took our order was so diligent about an allergy in our group (which is rare in Asian restaurants). She even had the foresight to take out the scallions and onions from my kid's noodles, which I didn't even think about (and I'm sure my kid thanked her for that). Good experience and we'll be back! read more

More than pho , you can all kind of authentic Vietnamese food. Good service , never rush you to leave. And very reasonable price

The food is fabulous and the service is excellent! I highly recommend. This is a hidden gem in the heart of Malden.

Some of the best Vietnamese food I have ever had. Best Pho Soup I have ever had too. Very nice family business as well.

Ordered from my local Malden restaurant after a friend recommended it to me! We ordered three bun bowls and they were delicious. We got pork, beef, and shrimp and everyone enjoyed their meat of choice. The Vietnamese peanut sauce is simply the best and Saigons's is wonderful. I ask for 2 big containers because I drown my bowl in it. The bowls themselves are big and they come with all the ingredients separated so you might have to mix them up separately. The only thing we wished there was more of was the greens. Overall really yummy and happy to have this spot local! read more

The best pho I've ever had! And the price is reasonable too. Close to the Malden Center.

Place is very bus, they had about 4 teen kids taking orders and running the front. They did a great job and came around a lot. I had a few very cold beers with my small Pho with rare beef. The small was big for me but a table of kids next to me all had large and that was huge. All and all great pho. read more

I had a very nice lunch here on Patriot's Day. The table was a tad dirty- it had a glass top which had much streaks and residue. Hot tea was served complimentary which was appreciated. Had a chicken pho and some fried spring rolls. - the broth was rich and no strong MSG which was a plus. A decent amount of noodle and chicken meat. A large amount of sprouts. The basil was a bit black on the tips. I left satisfied and the price was right- abt $12 for all. Service was fast but not that friendly or welcoming. read more

I had better Vietnamese food elsewhere but I was in the area and decided to try since my boyfriend was raving about it. Their lunch special is an awesome deal. The meal comes with free soda and one spring roll. We ordered the Hue Pho and Shrimp and Pork Vermicelli. Hue Pho - instead of the traditional Vietnamese noodles (white thin noodles), they use "lai foon - similar to sphagetti but white colored). The broth can be spicer. It was rather mild. Luckily they did not include the pork feet inside the bowl - that will give my bf nightmares haha. The traditional Hue Pho comes with it so beware. If you don't like cilantro, remember to tell them too. Spring Rolls - perfect and I am madly in love with the peanut sauce :) read more
