    coconut coffee
    Clarize B.

    Came here in a party of 3 on a Saturday morning. There was a tablet for the waitlist, but we were seated immediately. Ordered: - green thai tea: not too sweet! - coconut coffee: very thick and filling, more like a dessert than something you drink on the side - banh mi chao: yum, meatball was my fav, beef could be more tender though - banh khot: standard, could be crispier though - shaking beef: loved the rice that came with it and was a good portion Overall, food and service was quick. Wasn't too busy on a Saturday morning, so it was easy to get staff attention if we needed anything. Very casual and you pay at the front, great prices too.

    Saigon Oi is known for its specialty Vietnamese menu items, such as Banh Mi Chao (aka Bo Ne), Banh Khot (savory mini pancakes with shrimp), and Banh Canh Cua (crab meat udon soup). The restaurant is very popular on weekends and offers weekend specials. Some entrees are only offered weekdays, like Banh Xeo (large savory pancake or crepe), and others, like Com Do Beef Steak (ribeye or rib eye steak with red rice), are only offered on weekends. If you saw a delicious picture of something you wanted to eat, you might want to read reviews or call to check. Note: The restaurant is open 10 AM to 5 PM, so it's more of a brunch, lunch, after school, and early dinner restaurant. CLOSED ON WEDNESDAYS. Restaurant has 19 tables. Bossa Nova lounge music or easy listening music was playing and giving off beach vibes. Think of the song "The Girl From Ipanema." I went on a weekday. The server let me choose and sit at any empty table. He was kind and helpful to answer all my foodie questions throughout my visit. To help me choose what one entree to order, he first asked me if I preferred beef or chicken. If beef, choose Banh Mi Chao or Com Do Bo Luc Lac (Shaking Beef). If chicken, choose Com Do Ga Quay (Roasted Chicken with Red Rice). The Banh Mi Chao comes with filet mignon chunks, a pork meatball, a slice of pork roll, 2 eggs, pate made out of pork liver, 2 baby tomatoes, onions, and a cilantro sprig. A toasted bread roll accompanies it. You get Sweet Soy Sauce to adjust the Banh Mi Chao to taste. It's made with chilis and a little sugar. I don't think it's necessary given the dish is plenty flavorful. You can ask to customize the Banh Mi Chao if you don't want one or more of the ingredients. Some customers only want the steak and eggs and maybe the pork roll. I liked the pork meatball and might skip the pork roll, which is similar in texture to a fish ball. The pate has a rich, gamey flavor: You can taste the liver. I didn't know that pate is traditionally made of liver until the server told me. Although I thought the bread was too dry, I needed it, as well as my water and Coconut Coffee, to balance the saltiness of the entree. I think I would prefer the bread untoasted or more lightly toasted, which would require you to wait longer for that to be made to order. The Coconut Coffee was recommended by several Yelp reviewers. Vietnamese Coffee is strong, so make sure to stir or gently shake your drink before drinking it. Creamy, coconutty, and right amount of sweetness. During my meal, my server checked on me once to see if I was enjoying my meal. I think you'll have to flag him down if you need more water or want to order more. When you're done eating, go to the counter to check out. You'll see a sign that instructs you to pay there. Besides the Banh Mi Chao, other Yelp reviewers loved the Banh Khot, Fish Sauce Chicken Wings, Shaking Beef, and Roasted Chicken. Most enjoyed the Banh Canh Cua. I thought the Crab Meat with Salted Egg Fried Rice sounded delicious.

    Saigon Oi is not your typical Vietnamese restaurant--there's no pho here, but plenty of other delicious classics that will absolutely keep you coming back. My personal favorite is the bánh xèo: crispy, flavorful, and done right every time. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I really appreciate that they keep the menu focused and intentional. It's clear they've chosen to do a smaller number of dishes exceptionally well. It shows in the quality and consistency.

    Special Duck Noodle
    Andy C.

    I have been a regular at Saigon Oi since they opened and yes I have waited over 45 minutes like everyone else in the past. It's because the Vietnamese fusion food is really that yummy and presentation is an awe. I guess everyone has already tried their entire menu since it's like 10 items and drinks on the otherside. But I always welcome their Specials because like this Month the braised duck noodle soup was AMAZING there was 3 prices of generous portions of duck and herbal ingredients in the soup. If you love ducks and noodles as much as I do this is to die for. I would definitely return and have the duck noodles again or whatever your next special today's meal.

    Ribeye steak with rice
    Trina H.

    Restaurant does not take reservations, but you can join the Yelp waitlist. We came early Saturday morning, and our party was seated promptly. It is best to come early since the wait can sometimes be over an hour. The menu is quite small, but the food is packed with great flavor. On the weekends, you can order the BBH special. Broth was delicious and not spicy at all. The mini pancakes came sizzling hot, and it was my favorite dish.

    Diana L.

    The wait was about an hour long today but I still waited for their special BBH. They also have yelps online wait list so I will definitely do that next time. The BBH was sooo good. Id want to come and try their banh canh cua, which a friend said was also really good. I was told the banh xeo is made fresh daily as well so I have to try it. The wait was long but once we sat down, the food came out pretty quickly. My friend and I both got their special bbh and its loaded. They had servers and staff pretty available of you needed anything and that was nice.

    hungry for Vietnamese street food
    Arnel E.

    This highly-rated restaurant is located in the Pacific Rim Plaza in Stockton Boulevard. It's famous for creating modern twists on Vietnamese street food. Though their signature dish is the Bánh Mì Chảo, we opted to have this on another day. Photos posted online are exactly what to expect upon entering this packed eatery. Trendy & modern decor & lighting fixtures abound. We reserved our spot via Saigon Oi's Yelp page waitlist feature while we were a good 30 minutes away. This was perfectly timed for that Sunday lunch as we were two parties away from being seated when we checked-in. Parking's tricky, so be prepared for that experience. Drinks: Kumquat Lemongrass Tea and Coconut Coffee. Both satisfying and flavorful drinks. The iced tea was refreshing while the coconut Vietnamese coffee was a great tasting waker-upper. Dishes: Crispy Fish Sauce Chicken Wings, Ribeye Steak and Vietnamese Shaking Beef, both with red rice. Food was OMG good. I'm drooling right now as I'm writing this review. Want to go back ASAP.

    Had a great time here eating with my partner for Valentine's Day brunch! It's such a lovely cafe/restaurant. It's part of a Vietnamese plaza so it can be difficult to find parking. They use Yelp waitlist so you can easily check how long the wait is. We waited for about 5 minutes until your table was ready. The interior is beautiful it's with modern charm, lunar new year decorations, and gardenscaped bar station. Service was quick, efficient, and easy. We ordered: - Banh Khot: beautiful colors of gold and orange and green! Very filling and crunchy! Just be careful to not burn yourself since they're on top of a hot skillet. It comes with veggies on a separate plate like lettuce and mint with fish sauce. It's great by itself or as filling for a lettuce wrap. - Bo Luc Lac with Rice: They didn't have pasta or egg noodle that day so we settled for the rice. Great portion of rice and the beef was tender and juicy. - Com Do Ga Quay: I was very happy with the portion size of the chicken! Lots of meat, rice, and yolk on top for extra protein. What a great dining experience.

    Lunch with the family. The food is always great here. Expect to wait in line on the weekends and also expect them to run out of some their items towards the end of the day. Definitely a must try spot, you won't regret it.

    FYI
    Gabrielle L.

    While the wait time was long on a crowded weekend day, the service was excellent and the food was good. Portions are large and priced so. It might be a bit disorganized and crowded but it's worth it.

    Crab udon soup
    Miranda L.

    Bo luc lac: good flavor but a bit overcooked. Could be more tender. The rest was pretty good. Quite salty.

    The metal piece.

    I am updating my previous 5 star review because of an experience I had during my most recent visit. While eating the banh khot, I felt this sharp stabbing feeling in the back of my throat. I had to hook this piece of metal out from my throat. I understand that mistakes can happen, but food safety should never be compromised. Based on this experience, I can no longer recommend the restaurant with the same confidence as before.

    Stumbled upon this restaurant using Yelp because my mom was craving "Asian food." Saigon Oi isn't your typical Vietnamese restaurant that serves Pho or Pork Chop Rice Plates and egg rolls. They offer a good variety of Vietnamese street food but with their own twist to it. I was fortunate enough to travel to Vietnam toward the end of 2024, so I was actually surprised to have recognized some of the names of the dishes! Saigon Oi is located in a pretty busy shopping plaza with other businesses around. Parking was a little difficult for my family and I but we eventually found a walkable spot. They can get really busy so if you plan on checking this place out, I highly suggest you check their Yelp page to get an estimated wait time. A waitlist via Yelp is available; which is great. They even have the Yelp waitlist iPad when you enter the restaurant. The restaurant is clean and bright. Spacious enough but, like I said, it can get really busy. Thankfully, my family and I were seated immediately. They do provide highchairs for your little ones. Their menu is small but is enough and really highlights popular dishes in Vietnam. So I appreciate being able to order easily without feeling overstimulated. We ordered the mini pancakes, chicken wings (a must get, trust!!!), shaking beef with red rice and the crab fried rice. Each dish definitely holds onto its own unique flavor and meshes well with each other. I enjoyed my meal at Saigon Oi and i'm glad my parents did, too.

    Ask the Community - Saigon Oi

    Do they do takeout?

    They do not offer take out.

    Can you make the banh xeo vegetarian?

    Yes we can make it with tofu. Banh xeo is only available Monday-Fridays and we recommend to call ahead to make sure we have the ingredients to make it for you.

    Is the crab soup keto friendly (meaning no sugar, flour, or cornstarch added)?

    I don't think so. It's super thick, like gravy. That tells me they used cornstarch to thicken the soup.

    Hi are there any vegan options?

    I didn't see any on the menu. I would say probably just the sweet potato fries or the regular french fries.

    Hi! Your lemongrass scented bathrooms are amazing! Where'd you get the scent from? Is it essential oil?

    Hi, it is an essential oil that we specially made for the restrooms :)

    I was told by a gentleman at the cash register you don't do take as of 1/02/22. When will takeout be an option ? My family and I do not feel comfortable dining indoors at this time due to trying to avoid COVID and having a baby with us?

    Hi we completely understand your frustration. But Takeout will not be an option. As of right now, We are severely understaffed and can not do take out orders. We hope you understand :(

    Do they take phone orders? We tried calling early to place an order for a lunch to be pick up and there was no answer after several calls. Tried calling again this afternoon and same thing straight to voicemail. Disappointed that we weren't able too

    They don't do take out.

    Do you take reservations?

    Walk ins only at the moment.

    Are you guys open on 12/25 for Christmas?

    Are you open new years?

    Yes

I appreciate the decor when you walk in - it's like half modern along with paints as if you're from Vietnam.

The hospitality was warm and welcoming, and I appreciated that they're open earlier in the morning, making it a convenient option compared to many other Vietnamese restaurants. Great food, great service, and a great experience overall. We'll definitely be back!

I automatically think about Duc Huong when I think about banh mi. Their grilled pork never lets me down. It comes in a huge serving size with carrots, onions, parsley, and jalapenos (optional).

Out of all this shop's positive traits -- portion size, taste, authenticity -- the most head-turning of them all lies in their menu prices. $6+tax for a large sandwich ($3.25 for small) is unheard of, particularly in California.
