Comfy little spot nestled in San Pedro with a welcoming and friendly staff. The ox tail pho with filet add-on and the nước mắm wings topped with a Vietnamese iced coffee were very refreshing. Bringing the family next time. My little one will definitely enjoy the Dino nuggets on the kiddie menu Order at the counter and then grab a seat! They say lunch hours are pretty busy! Luckily I got there right when the doors opened! read more

This review is a long time coming. Saigon Ơi Cafe is such a hidden gem. Great to finally have a Vietnamese pho restaurant in Pedro! The cafe is incredibly cute and cozy--it has a welcoming vibe that makes you want to sit, relax, and actually enjoy your meal instead of rushing out. The food is where they really shine. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully made. The portions are just right and not overly heavy, but still satisfying. The nuoc mam wings are hands down one of my favs. They're crispy, well seasoned, and honestly a must try. The pho is another highlight, especially the broth. It's rich, clean, and full of depth without being greasy, which is hard to find. If it's your first time trying pho, you gotta eat it there. Their grilled meats are especially impressive, you can really taste that perfect char. The egg rolls are crispy and flavorful, and the vermicelli plates are fresh, balanced, and super satisfying. Their bánh mì sandwiches are absolutely delicious too. Let's not forget their Vietnamese coffee and other refreshing drinks. Another win for me is that it's a great spot for families. Very kid-friendly and comfortable, which makes it easy to come back again and again. read more

This could be my new favorite find in San Pedro! A little hole-in-the-wall, a bit of chill, a lot of good food. Oh, btw it's just called Saigon Cafe as I was told the"Oi" is just something like an accent mark. So don't call in and say is this the "Saigon Oi! Cafe" like out of an AC-DC song as you might be embarrassed. The food is TNT good for flavor though. The wings were good - it seems every nationality has a chicken wing recipe that is good - good egg rolls & be sure to make use of the lettuce + fixins for a nice wrap experience as it does taste better. I had a banh mi sandwich our friends had pho. All was good, maybe a tad pricey but good. The staff is efficient and friendly if the pace slows a bit. To note: 1/ the space is a bit tiny and traffic flows in and out / if you hit it at the wrong time the seating for more than 2 could be tough; 2/ the hours - nobody seemed to know the hours in our party. There are no hours on the door. There are no hours on the menu. One person in our group claim that Thursday was a good day, but another said they arrived on a Thursday and it was closed. I was there on a Thursday and all was good - open til 8:30. So maybe call before you go. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 3/ I didn't get a chance to play but they have a retro Nintendo cartridge game set up - you even have to run through a vcr to make it work. Those who know, know. A projector too so this could be a fun place to just hang out and show the world how good you were on Street fighter 2 or on old school Mario! I have to come back for that. My partner wasn't very supportive this visit. read more

From the bahn mi to the vermicelli noodle bowls to the chicken wings and the oxtail pho! That oxtail pho in particular is so good I can't stop thinking of it. And the Vietnamese coffee drinks are equally addictive! I hope they do well because I really want to keep coming here!! read more

Saigon Oi Cafe - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What a great little gem of a Vietnamese restaurant did my sister introduce me to today. After our normal Tuesday of cooking for the needy in San Pedro, we debated on where to dine. She was told recently about a new Vietnamese restaurant nearby and that's where we found Saigon Oi Cafe. We had a great conversation with the owner at the counter and proceeded to order Nuoc Mam wings, pork and beef Banh Mi sandwiches, fresh spring rolls and my favorite, Oxtail Pho for takeout. Everything was packaged nicely and all that we ordered was delicious. Honestly, this was our first venture into Vietnamese cuisine and it DID NOT disappoint. Four of us at home enjoyed the delicious and aromatic Pho and their Banh Mi sandwiches which were generous and beautifully prepared. The fresh spring rolls were excellent. Oh and as for my oxtail soup, OMG!!! The broth was amazing and the generous portion of oxtails and rice noodles was perfect. We will definitely be back, only next time I want to dine in as the place, though small, is warm and inviting. Kudos to Bernard and Feng for establishing a great place for Vietnamese food in San Pedro. read more

K... as mentioned prior, on more than one occasion, I'm typically not a one visit review kinda guy. But... exceptions can and are made on my behalf. First off, I was elated to see Saigon Oi pop up on my instagram feed. I was intrigued to say the least. My minimal experiences with Vietnamese food has been limited to Nam's Red Door, (Pedro) and a couple joints on Anaheim street in the LBC, all of which i patronized while still gainfully employed, (retired for 8 yrs now). I joyfully perused their extensive menu, consulted the wifey on choices and we made our selections. Interior of the place is very smallish but there are a few outdoor tables. First and foremost, I have never had Banh Mi. Always wanted to try but never did. Just a weird confession. So i ordered 2, (one grilled pork, one grilled beef), 2 orders of the Nuoc Mam wings, 2 orders of the fresh spring rolls and a large pho. Starting with the sandwiches, seriously one of the tastiest little boogers I've ever had. Uber fresh pickled veggies, jalapeno slices and assorted other greens on ridiculously tasty bread. Meats were tender, juicy, well seasoned and flat out yummy. The rolls are huge!!! like 6" long rolls. Fresh and served with my ever favorite peanut sauce. Absolutely delicious!!! A must. Wings are incredible and not the little "Domino's Pizza" sized effers. Just enough garlic and spice to tickle the taste buds but not overpower. Another must. Last and certainly not least, there is the soup. Just unbelievable, A tad on the spicy side but i love that. Phuong (sp???), is the owner with her hubs,. She suggested some marrow and other assorted goodies as "add ins" and her recommendations were spot on. And... she is just a lovely soul. What a sweet, sweet young lady. Can hardly wait to go back!!! read more

Saigon Oi Cafe - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My first impression when I walked in was that the decor was beautiful and nostalgic. The lanterns strung up create warmth and the VHS is such a cool piece to take a look at. The food itself is great. We always split a banh mi and spring rolls; I recommend the beef banh mi and the grilled pork spring rolls. I appreciate them adding a dip on the side for a small charge, that way we can choose to make it a dip or not depending on the mood. I haven't tried the pho yet but if the authenticity of the other items is telling, I'm sure it'll be great. Now for the service: the employees are all welcoming and happy to answer questions about the menu. They were also kind enough to let us know that a cream top still had dairy when we requested a milk substitute. We already thought the service was great, so imagine our surprise when our server apologized for not checking on us more; what she did was MORE than adequate. It is a great spot and I cannot wait to make it a regular spot for us, this is something San Pedro really needed. Thank you for joining our community! read more

Saigon Oi Cafe - Grilled pork spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here for the first time with a friend and we loved it! Service was so friendly and welcoming. My friend enjoyed her beef pho sharing it was very flavorful and I loved my fresh and umami vermicelli egg roll bowl! My bowl came with vermicelli noodles, fresh and pickled veggies, mint, crispy egg rolls (option of pork or veggie), fried shallots, and fish sauce for the salty and tangy umami. Highly recommend adding some chili oil on top. Portion is quite large which was great as I am always happy to take home leftovers. I also enjoyed the sour plum soda! Overall, such a charming and delightful experience. read more

I have ordered take out twice. The vermicelli bowl is really good and portion is generous. My husband loves the pork rice dish, he got it both times. The second time I got the beef rice dish ... but I think the pork is better as it's more tender. The chicken wings are THE BEST!! I got it twice and it never disappoints. The sauce is sweet and savory and it's perfect. It's my favorite. I also got the spring rolls, good but nothing special. Lastly, I tried their coco matcha and wasn't a fan. But I am interested in the coffee drinks! read more

The ambiance at Saigon Oi Pho in San Pedro was honestly really nice, and all of the workers had a great attitude from the moment we walked in. Customer service was definitely top notch and they made us feel welcomed the entire time. Unfortunately though, the food itself lacked flavor and just didn't live up to the experience the staff provided. The broth barely had any flavor and honestly tasted more like hot water than pho broth. The noodles also came out extremely overcooked, and the brisket was not tender at all -- it was actually pretty rough and chewy. I really wanted to enjoy it more because the service and atmosphere were great, but the food was disappointing, which is why I'm leaving a negative review. read more

Saigon Oi Cafe - Brisket Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's about time we are starting to have some diversity in San Pedro! The local dining scene is dominated by Italian and Mexican restaurants. They have opened the second Vietnamese restaurant and I am so ecstatic about the pho. Before it opened we would drive to Lomita or Long Beach to eat pho on a cold night and now it's 5 min away from home, not to mention way more legit. The owner is very welcoming, and the staff are constantly moving and hospitable towards their customers. The vibe here is a relaxed setting a very humble vintage vibe. I love the unique style here it makes me want to come back for more food. I love that there is a small section dedicated to kids with a few toys coloring books and movies! For the food, I really enjoyed the brisket pho. The broth was good, simple but a good meaty flavor. The meat wasn't the thin sliced frozen kind they throw on top of pho to cook with the broth like other restaurants we've been too, this was actual brisket with tons of flavor. Served with mung beans, lime, basil and chili sauces. I also had their coconut ice latte, not too sweet and deep coffee flavor. My favorite. Will definitely be returning and recommend to all. read more

We also tried our son's grilled pork rice dish & my fav was the pickled veggies were so good. I had the banana latte and it was so good- great balance of coffee and banana cold foam was amazing and not too sweet & perfect. (my son loved mines so much, he later ordered his own) We ordered some banh mi to take home for dinner and so eggcited to try them.

I am so happy this restaurant opened in San Pedro! SP is definitely lacking in good Asian food, and there are no good Vietnamese restaurants in this area. The portions are "normal." I only say this because Americans are so used to these large portions of food, but what they serve is just enough. I ordered rice and meat dish... the grilled beef was cooked to absolute perfection. I also ordered a plate of eggrolls and it came with 6 pieces which is more than what most restaurants serve. The prices are on the higher end for Viet food, but still so delish. The interior of the restaurant reminds me of the French quarter in Hanoi. Very cute and cozy inside. The service was quick, friendly and I only hope that this new restaurant will last! May they add more dishes to their menu too! read more

Ate here for lunch while my dog was getting groomed and wow!!! I always see this place when I'm in the area but finally today all the chakras aligned where I had time and they were open. Service was incredibly fast. Waited 5 mins for my pho and Thai tea to come out. I sat outside and it was actually really nice. I don't usually sit outside but it was a nice day so why not? My waitress Ahma was very accommodating and friendly! You guys guaranteed another regular today. Coming back!! read more

Came here for the first time to try it out. Food & service here was excellent! I'm so glad there's a delicious Vietnamese restaurant here in town! Now I have a new favorite place to bring my friends to. I ordered the lemongrass tofu vermicelli bowl and my husband got the pork Bánh mi sandwich. Both were delicious! Can't wait to go back and try other entrees! read more

Saigon Oi is one of those places you leave already planning your next visit. Absolutely love this spot. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. We ordered pho along with a grilled plate and spring rolls, and you can tell right away the quality is there. The broth was clean, rich, and comforting, not heavy or greasy and the herbs, bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños were vibrant and crisp. Nothing wilted or tired. The grilled meat had great char and flavor, and the portions were generous without feeling overdone. Even the presentation was inviting. Service was friendly and efficient. Staff checked in without hovering and kept everything moving smoothly. Food came out at a good pace and everything felt welcoming and relaxed. The atmosphere is casual, clean, and comfortable, perfect whether you're stopping in for a quick meal or sitting down to catch up with friends or family. It feels approachable and easy, not pretentious. Pricing felt fair for the quality and portion size. Definitely good value for fresh ingredients and well-executed dishes. Overall, fresh, delicious, reliable, and worth coming back to. This has become a go-to spot and I'll happily recommend it. Oh and don't forget the Sparkling Limeade. read more

Saigon Oi Cafe - Brisket pho, oxtail pho, spring rolls, bbq pork plate - Vietnamese Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Small Vietnamese restaurant new in San Pedro with a nice outdoor area (better for larger groups) and cozy indoor seating. The staff are amazing, I was welcomed with smiles, they checked in on me and other guests often, and the owner even talked to me to see how things were. Wait time for my food was about 15 minutes, didn't mind that at all considering how great everything was. Food options feature a lot of the Vietnamese greats, and they're awesome. The serving size of the vermicelli bun noodle bowl and protein is generous, it's bright and light and the flavors meld really well. I added the fried egg roll and am glad I did, nice savory crunch with pork and veggies. It's a small kitchen however it's obvious the cooks take their time and prepare their food with care. The pandan pancake was crunchy and fluffy, the condensed milk added enough sweetness to hit my sweet tooth craving but not so much that I couldn't take a second bite. Vietnamese iced coffee was good, a bit sweet for my taste compared to others I've had, but still great. There are lots of small businesses around Saigon, record shops, thrift stores, and more. Parking can be a bit difficult to find considering all the stores, but you're sure to find one. Parking along 6th St is meter parking, $1.50 per hour, which is really cheap especially if you check out some of the stores. I plan to come back with friends to try more of Saigon's menu. read more

From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I came in with my husband and son, and since we were starving, we asked for their recommendations--and not a single one missed. Every dish they suggested absolutely hit the spot. From the crispy, flavorful fried chicken wings to the rich and comforting pho, everything was amazing. The pork banh mi was fresh and packed with flavor, the egg rolls were delicious, and the Vietnamese iced coffee was the perfect finish. Every single bite had us looking at each other and talking about how good it was. You can truly tell they put a lot of love into their food. On top of that, they make you feel like family--it honestly felt like we were eating in someone's home. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend! read more

This has been our favorite weekly food stops since they joined the neighborhood. Everything on the menu tastes amazing and fits any mood. I personally love the oxtail pho or a classic banh mi with chicken. Their drinks are also amazing, I'm working my way through each item and every single one hits the mark. The atmosphere here is so special, dining in with my partner or a group of friends feel special because of the lights and friendly service. Love this place read more

So fresh, so delicious and such a treasure for the neighborhood! I don't think I've had such great Vietnamese food since living near the SGV. Plus, everyone is really nice. I'd love a cold beer with my noodles someday... read more

Finally checked out this cute café and tried the bánh mì sandwiches--pork and beef, both with extra veggies. They were generous with the meat and veggies, which we loved. The pork was our favorite; it was perfectly seasoned and super tasty. The baguette could've been a little crispier, but it wasn't a big deal. Definitely want to come back soon to try their oxtail pho. read more

Calling all FOODIES! There's a new Vietnamese restaurant in town, and she brought flavor and fish sauce. I finally checked out Saigon Ơi Café, the newest Vietnamese spot in San Pedro, and let me tell you, this place is a gem we didn't know we needed. Authentic Vietnamese food around here is rare, but Saigon Ơi is definitely changing that. Let's start with the drinks: The coconut latte (espresso with coconut milk) was creamy and lightly sweet hug in a cup. But the banana iced latte completely stole the show. Smooth espresso, creamy whole milk, and just a whisper of banana, it sounds quirky, but somehow it works perfectly. It's the kind of drink that makes you rethink your whole coffee order history. For food, I tried the pork chop rice and the grilled chicken vermicelli, plus the nuoc mam wings (aka chicken wings tossed in garlicky fish sauce magic). The pork chop was my favorite with sweet savory marinated pork chop, grilled to perfection with a slight char on the sides paired with a crunchy slaw, slices of cucumbers, and pickled red onions. If you want comfort food, the pork chop is your dish! The vermicelli bowl was great and refreshing with tender chicken, fresh herbs, crunchy veggies, and that irresistible sweet-savory sauce poured over the top. Another MUST order are the nuoc mam wings! The wings were crispy, sticky, and packed with flavor, basically, the kind of dish you regret sharing. The inside of the café is adorable, casual, cozy, and dotted with hanging lanterns that make you feel like you've wandered into a modern Saigon side street. The staff are so friendly and warm, and you can tell this is a family-run spot made with love. If you've been craving real Vietnamese flavors without driving to the SGV or Westminster, this is the place. Saigon Ơi Café brings authentic taste, cozy vibes, and a little bit of joy to San Pedro, and I'm already planning my next visit (mostly for that banana latte). read more

Grateful that good and fresh Vietnamese food is local and I don't have to drive at least 45 mins to get something decent. Thanks for reppin' and bringing Viet flavors int Pedro. read more

Went for lunch today with a friend and got the egg roll salad. These egg rolls reminded me of the egg rolls from a former restaurant that is now closed that were the best. These egg rolls are just as delicious. The wrapping is light and crispy and comes freshly made. The salad has vermicelli noodles, pickled onions, carrots and lettuce. On my previous visit, I had the chicken version and it had a very generous serving of moist chicken pieces. It will be hard for me to try anything different as I'll be craving those egg rolls. Service is very friendly. There are a few tables inside as well as outside for casual dining. I'm in the area most Wednesdays and it's nice to see how busy they are and developed a following. A welcome addition to San Pedro! read more

San Pedro Hidden Gem! This place is absolutely delicious! I've tired the wings, banh mi, fried egg rolls and the spring rolls. All of which were amazing! Then there is their coffee!!
