    Outside restaurant
    Belinda C.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    FYI

    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.

    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.

    Hello Banh Mi Chao and Banh Khot! All my fave Vietnamese food in one restaurant. And the name Saigon Oi, how can you forget it! Rather I go with my hubs or friends, I always order the same dishes!!! They always like my choices too. Come on the weekend as you might be lucky and get to try their Porridge too!

    Chris D.

    Saw their menu and knew i had to come try the Banh Mi Chao. The restaurant is very classic Vietnamese restaurant. Banh Mi Chao: Similar to Bo Ne, classic pate eggs and filet mignon on a pilling hot skillet. Sauce was flavorful and dipping with the baguette was perfect. Highly recommend. I was in town visiting but would be back just for this dish. Makes me excited to try their other items.

    Banh mi chao
    Natalie L.

    I'm not Viet, and this was my first time having Bo Ne, but this definitely wasn't my first time getting Vietnamese-French bread, and that bread was everything. Perfectly crisp, but not the kind that scratches your mouth, and ridiculously airy and soft on the inside. Wherever this bread comes from, it's the right place. The bo ne platter itself was really good, though the egg was slightly overcooked for my liking. The bits of steak of in platter were tender, and the pate pretty much melted into the other fats. I did think there could've been more cherry tomatoes for a bit of sweetness, but I mean...you're not eating this for that, lol. We also got the special of the day, pho dac biet. The meat was cooked pretty well, but the you could tell that the broth was the star and had quite a bit of care put into it. Nicely savory and beefy, and not overly salty. I'm not from the Sacramento area so I'm not sure if i'll ever be back, but I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone in the area.

    Vietnamese food here is pretty good! We had a variety from the menu, it was all delicious. Everything had a sweeter note to its but wasn't bad. Best part of the meal had to be the ice Vietnamese coffee. It was delicious and perfect! Despite it being pretty busy, we were seated fairly quickly and food came out fast. Overall vibes of the place were cool inside the restaurant. Parking is pretty bad, spaces are narrow and was packed on a Saturday afternoon. I highly recommend for some amazing Viet food! I definitely recommend the iced viet coffee is you are going to try anything!

    Bo ne
    Jackie L.

    Came with a party of 7 on Sunday and it was about a 40 minute wait. But be sure to join the waitlist ahead of time on Yelp! We all agreed that this was the beat Bo Ne aka Banh Mi chao we ever had. It comes with 1 in house made baguette. Restaurant had nice decor but it is pretty small. Would come back and would recommend more to try!

    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 originally came in fully committed to ordering the Bún Bò Huế (P4), but the moment I heard about the $3.50 giant rib add-on, all bets were off. I switched to the P1 Combo Pho just so I could have that massive, fall-off-the-bone rib soaking in that rich, aromatic broth and it was absolutely worth it. The broth was deeply savory and comforting, layered with flavor without being overly salty, and that rib took things to another level. Tender, meaty, and perfectly braised, it made each bite feel extra indulgent. My boyfriend went with the bánh mì pork sandwich, and we added fried egg rolls for the table. The bánh mì had that perfect balance of crispy baguette, juicy pork, and fresh pickled veggies, while the egg rolls came out hot, crunchy, and packed with flavor. We also got the chance to meet the owner/chef and had such a great conversation, which made the whole experience feel even more personal. Service was friendly and attentive throughout the night.

We ordered the combo pho, and the broth was surprisingly bland & lacking the depth and richness you'd expect. The meat was tough, there was barely any tripe, and no tendon at all, which was disappointing for a "combo." I also requested less noodles, but that adjustment was mistakenly given to my husband's bowl instead. Not a huge issue on its own, but it added to the overall experience. That said, the menu offers a wide variety of broken rice dishes, so it seems like that might be more of their specialty. If I were to return, I'd probably try one of those instead of the pho.

Inside has spacious table seating, some with booth and good lighting inside. There was ballad vietnamese music video playing. The restaurant was not busy and there were elderly men at the tables playing cards and some at another table they were chatting & drinking. Im not sure if they hold karaoke or have live bands but there is a stage with music instruments and a projector with installed party lights. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted right away. It was a bummer when they told us they didn't make ox tail or bum rieu today. Instead we ordered beef tartare, beef pho and shaken beef with rice. The beef tartare was this sliced raw beef with onion, herbs and lime which made the dish rich and savory. The pho was mediocre and same goes for the shaken beef, but both dishes were still tasty enough. During our time there, the server did not check on us or refill our water. If I'm craving for seafood, maybe I'll come back to try their seafood options.
