I've been going to this place for awhile...even to the point that the owner recognizes me. I can no longer recommend this place to family, friends, or review readers. This place has a worker that fat shames you on how much you order /eat. I went here last week after I got off a long day of work and I have ate all day....just so a worker (who is not skinny) laugh and mock about how much food I order to the server. That is unacceptable! You never know what people are going through read more

Let me start with the fact that I am an extraordinarily picky eater. Everything doesn't love my sensitive tummy and my tastebuds don't love alot either. With that as a frame of reference, let me start with I'm not sure why this place doesn't have 5 stars. I have eaten Pho ALL over the DC, MD, VA area and for this area of MD - it is THE BEST. My hubster had the seafood Pho and it was delish. Try the Vietnamese Beef Stew (not the spicy one), add 2 small dishes of the Thai chili sauce to the broth along with the usual basil and bean sprouts - YOUR WELCOME. It is SO ridiculously good! And I usually don't like taste of the beef at these places but this beef was tender and flavorful and well seasoned. And the carrots were so "carrot-y" in the dish and melted in your mouth like cotton candy but not in a mushy way. Hard to explain - just trust me. This dish is the TRUTH!!! We also had the salt and pepper wings as an appetizer based on another Yelp review and they are a home run too! Make sure you get the Thai chili sauce for those too - it seems to compliment everything the have and I'm not normally a chili sauce girl because I can't handle very spicy things. It's more sweet than spicy. Finally, beverages - the coconut water is AMAZING. It's not like the coconut water you can buy at the store - this has some added simple syrup or something. SO nutty and sweet! Like dessert - yum, yum, yum! But seriously guys, I have saved the BEST for last - insert dramatic pause here - the Brazilian coffee Boba though!!! AH-MAZING! SO COFFEE-EY and sweet. It's like your perfect sweet coffee from Dunkin - on the day they got it *just* right X 10. Seriously - I live!! I will drive 45 min out of my way JUST to get this Brazilian coffee Boba. Needless to say, I'll be back and you need to swing through too!! read more

Food was excellent. Very friendly server - I suspect he is the owner. We got the salt and pepper wings as an appetizer - #49 Pho. And catfish clay pot. Broth was very good. Fish was tasty...a little on the salty side after reaching the end. The coconut water was freaking amazing. Completely did not expect that. Highly recommend. I don't know how they got the coconut chunks so tender. Will definitely be back to try something else... read more

My husband and I came here by coincidence. We were driving around and ended up in Edgewater. This restaurant came up as a highly rated place so we thought we'd give it a shot. It did not disappoint. We were both very satisfied with what we ordered. We shared the cripsy spring rolls, then he ordered the grilled chicken bahn mi. We also ordered the combination bahn mi and it tastes just like the ones sold on the streets of HCMC! The pho and broth was very tasty. We would definitely return. read more

I hate to give them two stars, and maybe if I try them again, I will post an update and change my rating. My experience is based on two separate carryout orders, so decor and service really didn't come into play here. From phone in to pick up, it was only 10 minutes. Granted it was around 5:00 PM on both occasions during midweek. On the first visit, the picks were Shaky beef (a chef recommended dish) and a combo pad Thai with chicken, beef and shrimp. This meal was good, and the leftovers the next day even better. The beef cubes were super tender, all the veggies were fresh, the flavorful marinade had some depth and the lime dipping sauce added just the right amount of acid. The only thing I did not like and did not get, was the addition of potato cubes. They certainly didn't add anything, and they seemed out of place considering this was served with rice. Carb overkill. The pad Thai was good, not too sweet, and all the protein was tender and well prepared. Surprisingly, this tasted much better the next day. So I was quite happy, as I'm not a big fan of Thai, so I thought, finally, I have a place that I can get a healthy takeout meal, when cooking is the last thing on my mind. The second visit to Saigon, I ordered the sauteed broccoli and chicken and the grilled pork vermicelli. The description for the last dish was as follows "Flame-grilled cuts of pork served on a bed of thin rice vermicelli noodles, shredded lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumbers, shredded carrots, daikon radish, finished with a pinch of green onions and crushed peanuts, accompanied by our citrus infused fish sauce." I mean yeah, to me that sounded pretty darn good. The minute I got home and opened the Styrofoam box (wish they use plastic), I had a feeling I was going to be disappointed. The flame grilled pork was beyond flamed it was darn near incinerated. The veggies looked good and fresh (although no radish in sight) but the pork jerky actually hurt going down my throat. Don't ask me why I even bothered. The chicken and broccoli was noted to be in a subtly sweet and salty brown sauce. Oh no it wasn't. It was a very pale liquid probably thickened with a touch of corn starch and it had absolutely no flavor. The white thin breast meat pieces as a result had no flavor either as they were not marinated in anything and the broccoli was just too hard. I fished out the chicken, put it in my dog's bowl, and the rest went into the garbage. I probably should have picked out some veggies to feed the bunnies that run around our yard but I was so turned off, I just wanted to be rid of the stuff. So I went from OK, this is pretty good stuff to how dare someone serve this. I know their Pho is supposed to be quite delicious, but I just wasn't yearning a hot bowl of noodle soup. I will have to simmer down before I give this place another shot. read more

Amazing! The food is excellent. There are hundreds of delicious choices. Vegan, vegetarian, seafood, chicken, beef, pork....everything! The service is fast and friendly. The prices are great, too! Dinner for three adults was $34 last time. I always have leftovers for lunch the next day. I could eat here every day!!! read more

This place is legit. And yes, I asked a Vietnamese friend to confirm. If you're looking for the "real-deal" pho, order the House Special pho, which comes with flank steak, tendons, tripe, brisket, and all the other normal components of traditional pho. It always arrives quickly, the broth is always sensational, and there's fish sauce, Hoisin sauce, chili paste, and Sriracha on every table to flavor up your pho to taste. Everything tastes amazingly fresh and bright, like good pho should. The place isn't fancy, but it's neat and clean, and the service is very attentive. I eat here about two to three times a month. Best part? A huge bowl of pho is only $10! Oh, and they do carryout, but the portion size is significantly smaller than you'd get by sitting down and eating. read more

One of my favorite places in the Annapolis area for pho. Flavorful broth, the veggie is good and packed with vegetables. I love going here on cold nights and filling up on pho. Their appetizers are not great though -- I've never been very impressed with their spring rolls and I think they are expensive for what you get. But it doesn't stop me for coming for the pho! read more

Best pho in the greater Annapolis area. Generous servings at a great price, too. Their takeout service is excellent, which I find to be a rare quality! They always get the orders correct and don't skimp on sides or toppings. Restaurant is plain. The paintings are all quite different and kinda funny for that reason. You'll see :) Service is prompt. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. Not only was my order wrong but the other order actually had a bug crawl out of it when we got it home. While I laughed because it was my friends birthday I'd recommend no one eat there and the health department give them a visit. read more

My husband and I regularly get carryout from Saigon Palace. The menu is large, and we have tried a variety of dishes. I can speak well of the pho, sandwiches, salads, and curries. I've never had to wait for my order beyond the promised time. My personal favorite is the grilled pork sandwich. The sub-like roll has a crisp crust and is not too thick. The barbecue sauce on the pork is delicious. Julienned fresh vegetables and lots of cilantro give additional crispness and flavor. And the price is very good for food of this quality. In our opinion Saigon Palace beats out other Asian restaurants in the area (and we do have a sizeable selection of them). read more

We had pho and bun bo. They were both ok. It took forever for the food to come out and there was only one other family in the restaurant. And not really a lot of people coming in for takeout. I don't believe that I'm a picky eater so I can't believe the great reviews. I mean it wasn't horrible but it wasn't 4-5 stars. In the pictures the restaurant must have been new bc the place is not that neat and clean now. It wasn't gross by any means but could have been a little neater. The service was ok. We most likely will not go back. read more

First time eating here. Food was good. Summer rolls were very flavorful. They were more akin to northern vietnam but with the flavor of southern. The pho was really good although I found the soft tendon lacking in flavor. Also had their iced Vietnamese coffee and while normally I wouldn't even note it, it was the LARGEST glass of coffee I've encountered in the Washington Baltimore area. Will def visit again. read more

Great place: no fancy atmosphere or high-brow servers- just good food! The spring and summer rolls are tasty and filling, abit on the dry side, but use the tasty sauce they provide to moisten them up. The Pho soups are the real McCoy with large servings, and I'm sure pretty healthy for you. There's a large variety of flavors you can choose from, so query the server the difference between them and decide accordingly. If you're looking more for a stir-fry, try the Shaky Beef- it's tenderness is to die for! I've never had bad service here- the waiters and waitresses have always been pleasant, patient, and are really on the ball without being stuffy. If you're looking for Vietnamese food in its prime with very reasonable prices, look no further than Saigon Palace! read more

The pho I usually go to was closed maybe for renovation so I went on Yelp to find the next closest one and found this. Called ahead of time to place order and asked for extra jalapeños when I got there I asked for a container for some hot chili pepper the gentleman said it's already in your bag I said great got my order got home. Had the extra jalapeños but no chili pepper sauce at first I was disappointed but when I ate the food omg it was so good and the jalapeños was so fresh I didn't miss the chili sauce. I'd go back again for sure. read more

First time when I came here after reading great reviews. Well they weren't lying. Their Pho is great and the broth is to die for. But other dishes are not too promising. Def not a place for children as my daughter did not like it. This is my second time and every-time I'm in the area, I come to this place. read more

Saigon Palace - #20 large $9.95 - Vietnamese Near Me - Edgewater, Maryland

Found little flies in my soup and my fried rice. 3 of them, 2 on my shrimp in the rice, one in my broth. Which is unacceptable. Called and told we'd be fully refunded, and when we went it were told only for the items with the bugs. Then was told he couldn't refund money to our card, then tried to just give us free food. Then asked if it was fruit flies (which I think it was based on the pictures I have but we only ever used the word bugs so it makes me think he knows this is an issue.) Then took $20 out of his wallet and said to take that even though that didn't even cover the shrimp fried rice (13.99) and rare steak pho (11.99). Won't ever eat here again and will be calling the health department. read more

I happened to be in that area once, and went to this place for a late lunch. The guy on duty didn't greet me because he was on the phone chatting, and pointed at a booth as directing me to a seat. So I waited for some time before he came over and took my drink and food order. The noodle soup was relatively salty comparing with all the noodle soups I had in other Vietnamese restaurants. When I was done, he just delivered the bill to me and didn't even say "Thank You". Later, maybe it was the lady owner, came from outside and grabbed my check and payment without saying anything. That was my quick lunch experience at this restaurant. I don't think I'll visit this place again. read more

Enjoyed a huge bowl of hot vegetable soup on this cold January evening. Food was fresh and filling. Staff was friendly and courteous. Highly recommend trying out this restaurant if you're in town, and definitely try their vegetable soup with rice noodles! read more

Saigon Palace - Amazing rice vermicelli with BBQ pork!!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Edgewater, Maryland

It is what is is. Nothing fancy, good food and willing to make recommendations if you are unfamilair with Vietnamese food (which is really fresh, so I tend to like it a bit more than regular old Chinese. I am giving this 3 stars which mean "A- ok", because that is truly what it is. The place could probably use a little work to the atmosphere (darker lighting, music, etc.) but it was clean and welcoming so I can't hate on it too much. Maybe I'm a little jaded because I am a 28 year old bachelor and maybe this place is set up for famlies and I don't see the value in that- so again- I can't say bad things about it. The food was good and VERY good portions for the price. The waitress was very pleasant and somewhat relaxed, which is nice. There was only one waitress working last night and you can see she was busy. So besides doing something with the mood of the place, and maybe a hostess- I can't see much beyond that. They are a new restaurant so I understand some things will have to wait. Until then- I would definately recommend this place for a mid- week, healthy, and decently priced meal. read more

First time ordering from here, and what a treat! It was recommended by some friends and we were not disappointed. The woman who answered the phone to take our order was so polite, it was a very pleasant experience (I normally hate calling in orders). Pickup was easy, but most importantly, the food was fantastic! We ordered a few appetizers - spring & summer rolls - and they were very flavorful & perfectly cooked. I especially liked the complementing sauces. Not overpowering, just a pleasant addition. Entrees were vermicelli with beef, and the sweet & sour beef. Both were delicious & light. We will definitely go back again soon! read more

This is our favorite place for Pho. But today, I decided to expand my horizons; so while my husband order his favorite, Special House Pho, I decided to try the Shrimp Vermicelli. I'm so glad I did! I was in the mood for something fresh and light and the Shrimp Vermicelli did not disappoint. We started off with the fried wontons which were slightly over fried but made up for it in taste. The fried spring rolls were crispy and delicious. The servers are very friendly and welcoming. read more

Beef pho, AMAZING!!! Fried chicken wings, AMAZING! Shrimp fried rice, AMAZING! Thai tea, AMAZING!!!! Best Vietnamese restaurant in MD!!! If I could, I would've taken a photo, but we ate all the food. read more

My parents & I go here at least once a week. Some of the most savory Pho I have ever had and I've had a lot of Pho in my 23 years. The Shaky Beef is also a favorite. For appetizer, I always, always, always will recommend the chai gio (crispy spring roll). Again, some of the best chai gio I have ever had. It is so light but still awesomely crispy. Some chai gio is very dense. The girls are also so friendly, especially if you become regulars. (They always remember my Dad's usual.) In other words, go here for awesome Vietnamese food. I think they do a very good take-out business and during the week they are not very crowded but if you go on a Friday/Saturday they seem to get a little busy. read more

I have been eating pho for over twenty years, and it is one of my favorite foods EVER. After moving from a place where great Vietnamese restaurants are scattered all over the city, I am glad to have found a decent fill for the void in my life! Saigon Palace's pho and vermicelli are the best I've had in MD. The service is ok, depending on who's working, but the good food definitely trumps that. Update: Be prepared to WAIT if they are busy. We went on a busy night (restaurant was half full) and waited over an hour for our food. They only had one person waiting tables. April 2015 update: Dropping a star... Pho portions have decreased! A small bowl of pho was not enough for my 4-year-old. Service was also subpar. It still tastes decent, but if Saigon Palace weren't so close to where I live, I'd probably rather have pho at mall! read more

Meh, it's OK. Gave it a try because there are so few places that delier in Annapolis. We had to wait more than 90 minutes for delivery on a Saturday night, so be warned; you will likely be waiting a long time, for mediocre food. (To be fair, we are probably on the very edge of their delivery area, at 6 miles out; I was surprised they even deliver to Annapolis.) They charge $6 for delivery, which is contracted to a "delivery service". The food was fine, but not great; wouldn't go out of my way to order it again. If you're in Annapolis proper, the best Asian food delivery restaurant we've found so far is Nano's (tasty, fast, dependable). I can hardly wait til UberEats or DoorDash start delivery here and expand our choices! read more

We ordered pho tai and cha gio as well as fried rice for delivery. While Eat 24 did not order the fried rice (so we did not receive it), the food we got was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed our pho immensely. After several phone calls to straighten out the missing rice, we will be receiving a refund for the rice. Overall, it was a good experience and I would order from them again. read more

My coworkers and I go here a lot. The pho is good, but the grilled pork chop is amazing! Though, have to limit it bc it's a lot of food that hits the sleepyness after going back to work... Even combined with their new coffee drink or Thai tea, a once in a while treat Service is always wonderful and warm. Many wonderful memories and sad goodbyes there with my amazing coworkers. It's a very special lunch spot to me :) read more

My hubby and I had all the attention on us as we were the only couple in the dining room. Ordered the BUN DAC BIET which had rice vermicelli noodles topped with succulent grilled chicken, beef, pork and my favorite ... CHA GIO. Fried Vietnamese egg rolls!!! The bean sprouts and shredded daikon radish freshen the comforting bowl of deliciousness! My hubby had the PHO TAI which he devoured. It's a decent broth. Would go back again if I wanted a quick place to head to for my pho fix! read more

Excellent Pho! Some of the freshest broth and ingredients. Even the super chewie stuff looked fresh! I'm all about the House Special when it comes to Pho and I was very impressed with theirs. I'm also impressed with the fact that there is a noticeable size difference between the small and the large. There are some Pho places where they look the same which makes me wonder about the price difference. It's about $7-$8 for a small. And the small is plenty! The dessert menu is a bit weak, but that's not what you come here for! The only have Fruit Shakes and ice cream. But still, not bad. Love it! A great Pho place near Annapolis! It's not very far from Adam's ribs and Yellowfin in Edgewater. read more

The food is good, not awesome and the service is different. We have eaten at Saigon Palace twice now. We get the PHO. The the most important part of pho is the broth. Their broth is deep, rich and flavorful. The noodles are okay and standard. They are made ahead of time then warmed in the hot broth. The meats are tasty but sparse. More meat would be better. I ordered the beef pho and its pretty good. My wife likes the pho with all the meats. Hers has the tendon and tripe. She said it is pretty good. I will take her word for it because I don't care for tripe. My son gets the pho with chicken. The chicken was shredded breast meat and kind of dry although submerged in broth. The steamed dumplings were really good. They were obviously handmade. The place is never crowded and the service is not bad. Don't expect any small talk from the staff. They take your order, bring you things you need and will pack your food up for you to go. I went in by myself for a late lunch and I was the only customer. Normally I would sit at the bar, but I think they use it for a service station and office desk. It was very awkward. They had a random 80's movie on the television above the bar. They don't have bad service it is just not very inviting and awkward. read more

So after several days and dozens of blue crabs later, the wife and I have had our fill of crabs. We craved some hot noodle soup action. Looked on Yelp and found Saigon Palace. Sounds good. Jumped in the car on a rainy day and headed over to Saigon Palace. The place is in a small strip mall. Restaurant is small but clean. We ordered up a couple bowls of Pho Tai. They were HUGE bowls. Lots of broth and noodles. Yummy! We slurped and sucked the noodles down in record time. Buurrrpp!!! Yummy! read more

So just looking at the reviews Mimi want to come here with my son after taking him to get a haircut I'm down the street we walking here it is the nicest cozies please and everyone looks so relaxed and quiet atmosphere we sit down and anything able to be like perfect because they have port your phone in so me and my son are charging while waiting for the waiter is nice he brings you out fresh clean water immediately and even though I haven't tasted the food yet the customer service alone is enough to make give the 5 stars! read more

Having just moved from Los Angeles to small town usa, i was very relieved to find this place. Good tasty pho noodles!

Hope it will stay around. read more

Saigon Palace - #24 - Vietnamese Near Me - Edgewater, Maryland

See all

This place is excellent, and one of my favorite dining choices in the neighborhood. I can't say too much about the menu, because I really only order one item, pho. The Pho is excellent. Savory broth, thing noodles, excellent meatballs, and lovely thin slices of beef which are still pink when you first get the soup. I think you're likely going to have to go to 7 corners over in NoVa to find better Pho. The decor is blah, but you're there for the Pho, so you don't really care. Service is attentive and the prices are wonderful (pho and veggie rolls only put you back ~$14). It's worth the drive if you're in the central AA County area, and certainly worth making a regular stop if you live in Edgewater. read more

Mmmm. Saigon Palace. The broth here is PIPING hot, which is extremely important when it comes to Pho. The service (my favorite is the dude with the pony tail) is always fast and efficient and the Vietnamese noodle soup is just downright delicious. You receive an ample amount of sprouts, basil, jalapeno and limes. The crispy spring rolls go hard AF. I highly recommend the House Noodle Soup (#31) for an amazing treat. Be sure to finish it off with a fork to collect the goodies hidden at the bottom. We will continue to come back again and again. read more
