I enjoyed coming to Saigon before the pandemic but I was disappointed when I got delivery yesterday and I ordered vegetable pho. My vegetables were raw and was not cooked at all. I had to put it on the stove to cook it, I was a bit disappointed with that especially since I was craving pho and Saigon was my spot to get my fixing. I hope this was just an incident and not a reflection of Saigon. read more

Best Vietnamese food in the area. They have a lot more authentic dishes on their menu than most places. Food always taste delicious and fresh read more

Service is okay, spicy pho sate is AMAZING!!! It's basically your normal pho with a spicier broth. I loved the brother flavor and how there was so much meat. I added extra beef balls and they were tasty and of good quality not too rubbery. I asked for jalapeños and chili oil on the side and I really like the quality of their chili oil. We got fresh shrimp rolls that were very fresh and the peanut sauce tasted home made with ground peanuts a dash of chili. The prices are fantastic also my entire meal was less than $20! read more

This is a decent place. I wouldn't say I had a spectacular experience but as someone who LOVES Vietnamese food, they hit the spot. The prices are a bit steep for the quality of ingredients that they offer but they have a nice variety of dishes that really hit home and close to the types of Viet restaurants I would frequent growing up in NYC. The presentation is a bit messy but we're not looking at Michelin level artistry. I would come here for lunch, probably not dinner. read more

This is our go-to Vietnamese place in town. The beef pho is delicious--heavy on the spices (I can taste cinnamon and star anise), but without being overpowering. They definitely don't skimp on the meat either, and a large bowl is about $10 which is a great deal because it's a huge amount of noodle soup. I've been branching out and trying their other food as well, which has all been delicious. The bun thit nuong is huge and refreshing. Definitely recommend. I also recently got the seafood claypot rice, which was wonderful. Perfectly cooked seafood and veggies, and the rice was so crispy and addictive. So satisfying especially on a chilly day. This was only about $12. We also enjoy the fresh spring rolls as well. The only thing I would complain about is the service, because while they are nice, they never really come to check up on you after they give you your food (I have to go up to the counter to ask for more water), but I'm also used to this being the norm in Vietnamese restaurants. Doesn't stop me from coming back again and again! read more

I always as a Vietnamese soup fan.most of the time I go to Dorchester. Recently I moved to MALDEN and today I told my wife to try on this restaurant but made a huge mistake.the server was very bad and talking shit. I was waited after my meal to pay no one came to take the money little later when I asked for help the guy came and told me you can't wait longer why you calling me????i was totally surprised about his behaviour and went to register and told him I'm your customer and you have to pay attention and patient... He told me you can wait longer and charge my card and again told me not to put tips loudly.... I never felt insulted like this before. And I will never ever will go this restaurant and will not recommend about this restaurant read more

Best Pho (chicken noodle/ vegetable noodle soup) I've ever had. I've been enjoying the soup at Saigon Noodle for years and ALWAYS make sure I squeeze it in to my schedule if I'm in the Malden area. The location is very mom and pop and the service is always great. The prices are already reasonable but lunch specials are also offered. And the portions are insane! read more

Saigon NV - Best vegetable noodle soup! - Vietnamese Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

I went here after reading some reviews of restaurants in the area and I will say it certainly lived up to the hype! The pho noodle was PERFECTLY cooked and the broth was unstoppably delicious haha. The ambiance isn't the most up to date and I would wish Manet the entry door was re painted or re done but when the food arrives, you can tastes the freshness! Definitely give it a go, when I find myself in Montpelier VT again, I'll be making another stop read more

I placed order for a couple dishes yesterday and they forgot one dish in the package. The Pho has gone bad after we left it in the fridge not even 24 hours. This isn't the first time and I feel like they have been using a lot of left over food from days before so they gone bad so quickly which didn't happen based on my experience with other restaurants. read more

Ordered take out from here, the menu was extensive and much better pricing than the pho bistro across the street. However, the food lacks in quality. I ordered the shrimp and pork vermicelli plate, that came with more noodles than anything else. The pho is just okay. I also ordered the summer rolls with shrimp and pork. The rolls weren't bad, but the peanut sauce was really lacking in flavor. Probably skip this place as there are better options nearby. read more

Surprisingly good pho, way better than the watered down broth that seems to be the norm around here. Cha Gio was fried to order and came out crispy and delicious. The food did take quite a while around peak dinner time but it was worth the wait, and the staff was really friendly despite how busy they were. Overall definitely worth a visit! read more

Tasty, reliable, quick-to-serve pho right in the middle of Malden! We live fairly close to this place, so have already been here numerous times - the food is consistently high-quality, fresh, and delicious. The inside is nothing fancy, but it's great for a casual lunch or dinner. Upon arriving, we are always very promptly seated and our order taken. The food (particularly if you just order pho) comes out nearly immediately. Service is generally pretty efficient and friendly, though you may have to flag someone down if you need something mid-meal or when you're ready for the check. They also offer to-go service, which allows you to essentially assemble your own pho bowl when you get home - it's a perfect option if you're a little under-the-weather and looking for some cozy comfort food. My go-to dish here is the pho ga, which is basically chicken soup. The broth is very good, especially when you add in a little sauce from the table and those tasty basil leaves / bean sprouts / lime that comes out with it. I'm not a cilantro fan, so I like that they're able to serve it without cilantro when I ask. Like most authentic pho places, the chicken may have a bit of fat/gristle, but the flavor can't be beat. I keep meaning to venture my way through the rest of their expansive menu, but the pho is just so darn good that it is hard to come here and not order that. Maybe when the summer months arrive, I'll be ready to experiment and get something else. I recently tried their mango slushie (milk-based, almost like a milkshake), and I'd definitely order it again. Most importantly, this place gives you great value for your money. We can come out of here completely full and satisfied for around $20. I'd say that's a win. read more

The pho was ok... pretty smelly but tasted fine, and this from a "pho connoisseur" They peppers they gave me were literally rotting. Like mold in them. That's a telling sign for this place... read more

Ordered the A3 (Spring rolls with pork and shrimp) and V8 (Vermicelli noodles with pork and shrimp). Both were excellent, but the highlight was definitely the delicious fish sauce for the vermicelli noodles. I recommend mixing the vermicelli noodles with ice (I requested ice on the side which is a strange request), and you end up with the perfect summer meal. Came on a whim, but will definitely come again. read more

Easily the best Vietnamese in Malden. The price, the atmosphere, the service, the food. Saigon Noodle is tops. The lunch specials here are crazy inexpensive. For a mere $7 you get - a huge bowl or pho or vermicelli, a spring roll and a soda. Seriously? The beef pho was a delight. The broth is super flavorful. There is a nice array of meats (as one of my dining companion gleefully exclaimed "so many mysterious beef parts") - tripe, brisket, flank...yum yum yum. The spring roll is pretty darn good - but that peanut dipping sauce knocks the thing out of the park. I'd put that sauce on a tire and eat it. The service was great. The place was decently full for lunch but we got our orders in - the food came out in a timely fashion and our server checked in on us a few times. Lovely. As for the cleanliness? Lots of these yelpers say the place is dirty, but I disagree. The dining area was open and bright. The tabletops and all the silverware was clean. There wasn't any weird stuff in my food. Not sure what all the fuss is about. Do note that this place is cash only, but there are at least a hundred Bank of America ATMs in a two block radius - so no biggie. This place will definitely become a local go-to. It's a shame they don't deliver. read more

I had bun cha back when I visited Hanoi and I was excited to see it on the menu. When I got my order it looked nothing like what I was used to seeing and it was claimed to be a bun cha so I ate it anyways. This dish came with spring rolls which tasted crispy and the noodles were the only thing that resembled a bun cha dish. read more

Customer service gone down hill and hygiene is disgusting! I was there yesterday and the guy as a waiter doesn't know what he's doing. Not greeting and not saying anything. Just know how to take orders. When I ask why the food take so long. He stated that he's waiting for the pork chop because it take longer to cook and I said that he can bring out whatever come our first. I cannot believed he said I didn't tell him that!! OK then!!.. Second, the bathroom is beyond awful, the toilet is filled with stain and dirt. The floor is like shit as well. Like never clean before!! What's going on!?!?!? read more

The decor and ambiance is average. Very casual. I had the beef pho and spring roll. The spring roll was good but the pho was very lacking. One of the most important part of it was the soup base which was not that great. The taste of the soup was a little strange and not what I'd expect. I've had plenty of pho from different places but this place was the only one I did not enjoy. I might try the rice dishes next time instead. read more

Saigon NV - Fresh spring roll (Part of lunch special appetizer) - Vietnamese Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

Was here on a Sunday. Ordered the pho, pork and shrimp spring roll, and a rice noodle. Everything taste alright, the soup is a little too sweet for me, the pork and shrimp spring roll has great flavor to it. However the needs to improve a service is there. After our food arrive there isn't checking, there is looking. I see everyone of the server just looked me in the eye and turned away, let me point out I have my water cup emptied before the pho arrive. But I never been able to get a refill. There are three servers, the big guy, the lady, and the other big guy that keeps following both of them around. It's a small place so I can see them just keep passing by our table, but never care to stop. In the end I still tipped a 5, which is not at the 15% for that other big guy that says sorry after I turn around and ask for attention to get my check. read more

Pleasant staff....usually greeted with a smile!!! Food is always fresh and the condiments are fresh as well.... Pho is tasty and the spring rolls are amazing!!!!!!! Price is more than affordable!

Recently ordered takeout and was pleasantly surprised. This restaurant is relatively unassuming from the outside. I got a wonton soup and my girlfriend ordered a chicken noodle. Both soups were large and flavorful. All the classic Pho fixings were in the bag for us to add as we pleased. The pork spring rolls tasted fresh and their peanut dipping sauce is very nice. I'd definitely order from there again. Give it a shot if you want some authentic Viet food! read more

My family started coming here over 15 years ago, before I realized how much I loved food. It was one of the first pho shops around the area. Since then there has been the other few that opened and caught my eye because of the ambience and decor that definitely looked a lot better than Saigon Noodles. I recently started coming back to eat there last year and religiously went 1-3x a week since then. The broth is always consistently delicious and piping hot. Can't emphasize enough how many places serve pho/ramen warm rather than hot. Also, besides pho, the Bun Rieu and Bun Bo Hue is consistently delicious as well. Service is quick and to the point. No frills here but always knows what I want, even if I don't. This place has become my comfort. When I'm hungry, sad, mad, miss my mom, I come here to eat deliciously hot food that feeds the soul. read more

My recent visits to Saigon were horrible. Although the food tastes decent, the service was so bad. There is only one person in the store serving food and this person gave us a rude attitude and didn't serve us water when we requested it. Back then when we go there, the water was usually served before our noodles came but he gave us water at the very end when we already finished our noodles and other dishes. If the restaurant was busy, we could definitely understand but it was pretty empty that day with two other tables in the store. We have other friends having similar attitude problems from the same worker there. It used been our favorite pho place in the past 6 years but we would not go back to the restaurant again. read more

Positive: quick and has vegetarian options Negative: way too much white rice and barely any of the actual food I ordered. Also the food I ordered was not what I got but basically a random compilation, although still tasty it was a let down to not get what I desired. read more

Food is decent but the service is very slow. It took more than 20 minutes to just get water and we had to ask multiple times. Took more than 40 minutes to get food. Other customers also had to ask for water, check, ask the server again to come and grab check, etc. The server was just generally not interested in service. I won't come here again. read more

Authentic Vietnamese food. The Pho is among the best we've had - clean tasting broth, fresh meat and greens. They gave generous portions of the basil, mint, and sprouts. The service was very good but this restaurant gets quite busy during the work week. If you have a craving for Vietnamese food in the Malden or Melrose area, this place is definitely worth a visit! read more

It was fine. We ordered pho and fresh spring rolls which were good. I don't expect much from Asian restaurants besides good food cause that's just the culture but the bathroom didn't flush so I have to dock points. They don't take card so if that's an issue, Pho Bistro across the street is a solid choice. read more

The Vermincelli and spring rolls have never disappointed. Easy online ordering and pickup in store!

This place has THE BEST pho in Boston area. I used to go all the way to Dorchester just for pho until I found out about this place. Ever since they changed management the new recipe is sooo good. Actually tastes like authentic pho. The broth is so flavorful. I was shocked the first time tasting it since I could tell the difference. Staffs are really attentive, owner is very friendly. Place is very clean too! Overall this place is a hidden gem. read more

In the website said that restaurant close at 9:30, then I can at 8:50 they said they already closed. The restaurant should better either change the time on the website or change the real closing time so don't waste people's time to come in. read more

We've been here once pre-covid for pho and the service was quick, but i thought the broth was little bit oily compared to other pho places. We then had a take out experience during covid, where my bf ordered the grilled pork rice plate and I ordered the grilled pork vermicelli with a side of egg rolls. There was way too much rice/ vermicelli compared to the ratio of pork. In addition, the spring rolls were a bit bland and didn't have much flavor. read more

Well I'd like to start off by saying that I absolutely love Vietnamese food and I have eaten in many Vietnamese restaurants so I think by now I would know what's good and what's not... Saigon Noodle is one of my favorite places to grab lunch when I am in the area and on the run . ... the spring rolls are bursting with freshness and the peanut sauce is perfect and always hits the spot! ; ) They always greet me with a smile and after just a few times there they already know what my favorite dishes are. I believe that a restaurant is not always just about the food it's about the service and the people that wait on you and make you feel at home. A very Happy Customer read more

So much better after renovations! Saigon NV is definitely the best place around Massachusetts other than Dorchester.
