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. read more

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. read more

Saigon Oi - Vietnamese Near Me - Sacramento, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!

My first dining experience here was a good one and based on this visit, I understand why there is usually a wait to get in here. The food and drinks tasted very authentic and full of flavor. We came on a weekend for lunch and the wait was about 15-20 min. The interior is very cute and we were seated by the window. I ordered a coconut coffee (so good and strong with lots of creamy coconut) and we also got the tropical fruit tea which was nice and refreshing. We got the bahn mi chao and bahn khot and I recommend both. The bread that came with the meat and egg dish was very soft and fresh, and the perfect vehicle to sop up the egg and broth. The mini pancakes topped with shrimp was also a tasty dish to eat and share. Service was prompt and we never felt rushed or ignored. I'm looking forward to their sister restaurant which just opened so I won't have to drive as far lol read more

We walked in around 10:30am on a Sunday. It wasn't that busy. We were seated right away. We ordered the banh khot, banh mi chao, and the special: bun mam. Everything came quick and was good. Lots of fresh herbs to eat with. Bun mam wasn't that fishy for me. They didn't give a lot of noodles. There was more soup than noodles. There's many different proteins in it. Parking lot is shared with other businesses. It was already pretty filled up when we got here at 10:30. Casual place. read more

4/5: We got seated fairly quickly around 3pm for late lunch. It was all ok; nothing really stood out. Their noddle soups are on rotation every week per waiter and I got the fish based noodle soup. I did like it. The waiting staffs were forgetful, age doesnt matter, maybe lack of experience. They forgot 2 of our orders and the request of 3 waters without ice took a few times asking. Maybe they had an off day. My mom did enjoy her medium rare beef. Overall, 4/5. read more

YUMMY! Came here on a Sunday basically at opening (slightly after 10am) and was able to snag a table. Be wary that this place can get busy and you might have to wait a lil bit for a table (there was a lot of people waiting after we got our table). The interior is spacious and service is quick! We ordered and got our food in less than 15 minutes. 〰  Soup Cua (4.5/5): This dish was super comforting. The portion size is pretty good for sharing (for 2 people) 〰  Bò Lúc Lắc (4/5): This was solid. Again, the portions are awesome! The rice was super yummy. I wish the beef was slightly more tender; but nonetheless the flavor was great. 〰  Bánh mì chảo (5/5): DELISH. Would 1000% get this if I came again. Everything about this dish was great. The bread, the beef, the tomatoes, the pate, the egg... this is the first time I've ever had this dish but I am def a big fan now. read more

Saigon Oi - Banh Mi but with all the ingredients separated! - Vietnamese Near Me - Sacramento, California

By luck I selected this restaurant as my last stop in Sacramento before heading back to the Bay Area. The banh kot and banh canh cua blew my mind ! Both were served in clay pot / sizzling plate which retained heat well. The banh kot were crispy, flavorful and had decent sized shrimps. The banh canh cua had all kinds of protein, including fish cake, pork cake, shrimp and shredded crab meat mixed with fried onion and shallot. The whole combination mixed very well together with right amount of chewiness on the udon. I will be back next time I visit Sacramento. The same plaza had BAMBU and Premium Matcha ice cream shop which were perfect for dessert after the meal. read more

One thing about this place is that it gets BUSY! Be sure to arrive early if you can. The interior was beautifully decorated and the food came out piping hot and beautifully plated as well. I would say that the service was okay. My friend recommended that we try this place because her and her family love coming here, but I didn't find myself that big of a fan. I got the Bo Luc Lac (shaking beef) and it had great flavors, it was just a little too oily for my liking, but that's just personal preference!

"My God, This Is Good!" That was my literal reaction after the first bite of my banh canh cua (crab meat udon soup) and honestly, that says it all. This dish was EVERYTHING. Rich, flavorful broth, generous portions of seafood, and the perfect chew from the thick noodles. The crispy garlic chips added a great crunch, and the lemon and chili sauce on the side gave it that kick that I wanted. I'd order this again in a heartbeat. I also got their iced milk coffee which was flavorful (sweet). I ended up adding a bit of water to dilute it to my taste, but it still hit the spot. I had joined the waitlist on Yelp, and it showed I was far down the line, but when I arrived, I was seated right away so I'd recommend popping in just to check. The restaurant itself is modern, clean, and well-designed. You pay at the counter, which made the whole experience easy and efficient. 100/10, will be back soon. read more

I adore Saigon Oi. Every time my friends come visit me for brunch, this is one of the spots I take them to. Hugs and kisses to this place for giving me a yummy, well-decorated Asian brunch spot to catch up with my friends and eat good food that actually hits. It can get pretty packed on weekends, so it might be worth coming a little earlier to join the waitlist or even check the Yelp waitlist before leaving the house. For appetizers, I like starting with the bánh khọt -- it's crispy, cute, and always a crowd pleaser. But my holy grail dish? The bánh mì chảo. I tell everyone to order it. It comes out sizzling hot, looks so good, and the bread?? Crispy on the outside, soft, warm, and fluffy on the inside -- perfection! It's filling and flavorful and just makes my soul happy. Everything is plated so nicely and the portions feel super fair for the price. I love the whole vibe here -- it's adorable, welcoming, and the food never misses. Forever recommending this place.

Pro tip, join the waitlist via Yelp cause you'll probably have to wait about 40 mins to be seated if you join at the store. Whole store has about 20 tables that can seat various party sizes. Parking situation, it's an Asian parking lot with a lot of good shops in the plaza so as long as your open to not parking right in front I'm sur e you'll be able to find a spot. Plus plenty of dessert options in the plaza to try after anyways. The food: I got a special item that isn't usually on the menu but was advertised ad a featured item: hue tie nam vang. (Dry noodle w/ soup on the side) . The dish was flavorful, packed with umami, but it didn't hit the spot like other places have for me. The side broth was a little too salty, as it's usually a lighter broth to cleanse the palette and help the noodles go down if needed. Quote rate it 8/10 My family also order the ban coc, which surprisingly was not as enjoyable as I expected, the pieces I had had more bounce and chew ...7/10. The Banh Mi Bo Ne ,was good but the flavor wasn't as developed, compared to San Jose versions, would give it 8/10 Banh canh cua flavorful but also in the saltier side compared to other places. Similar to the broth for my dry noodles it was over salted, which added flavorful but instead of clearing my throat I needed water to rehydrate my throat. 7/10 This place definitely has some iconic dishes that are harder to find in the area which is why it was pretty crowded and if you're craving it, should definitely check the spot out, but comparing the Bay Area which is what I put as my standard, it may not hit the same. But the service here is way better than you would receive in the Bay Area. Overall this place gets four stars since these dishes are better compared to local places. read more

5 stars for amazing foods, service.. during our visit in Sacramento, it was so gratefully finding this spot for lunch. Luckily we arrived after an hour opening, got the table right away, 30 minutes after seating, people started to come and long line. Foods came out quickly to satisfy the crave, we just dove in quickly.. I got crab meat udon soup, very delicious with rich crab flavors. My sister got the special Pho for the day. Everything is delicious until we tried the coconut coffee, tbh.. we don't like the fact of coconut flakes and the texture of coconut cream, we expected the fresh coco water and fresh coco meat assorted with coffee. However, the coffee part was really good. If we have our next visit, I rather get only Ca phe sua da itself :) .. love the ambiance, beautiful decoration..! read more
