The seafood Pho I had was very good, flavorful, large and filling with the traditional side dish of spices to add in. It was very quiet for lunch. The walls are decorated with traditional Vietnamese musical instruments. Service was prompt. The restaurant is large and simple. I also had an appetizer of spring rolls. It was a bit of a shock to see how much a simple pho has gone up in price from the days I could get one for about $2.50 in Milpitas, CA, a Vietnamese city in the early 90s. Now, it was about $16.95. read more

I like pho broth that's clean and light, not too heavy, and that's exactly what they serve here. The pho portion is on the smaller side so I usually order fresh summer rolls with my pho. The noodles are always chewy and soft. Every time I've visited, there's been the same couple running the place. They are so kind and hardworking and it really shows in the service. The restaurant itself is spacious and I've never had to wait for a seat. read more

Stopped by from a recommendation and it didn't disappoint! The Pho was Pho-nominal. The spring rolls were outstanding. Ingredients were fresh and delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Had high hopes for this pho pho spot- but unfortunately the food and service was lacking, Pho was watery and not very deep in flavor- the meats were good but overall it was not very fulfilling. The fresh rolls were rubbery, cha go was just dense with meat. Ban Mi was very good though- read more

Love the Pho here. Come hungry as it is large. I think it is one of the best places in Raleigh-Durham to get Pho. They have an extensive menu. I had Shrimp Pad Thai there today. It was very good as well. A bonus is that they are next to a nice Asian market as well as Harbor Freight Tools. Fresh veggies and spices, noodles and more for cooking Asian quinine yourself. read more

Saigon Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Great portion and quality for what you pay. I had the grilled pork rice noodle and it was so flavorful. The rice noodle had a spring roll (fried pork) cut up into small bite size pieces. I usually do not enjoy fried spring rolls, but this one was different. It's more like a pork sausage instead of various vegetables and glass noodles wrapped. Note that Google maps at this time, led me to the wrong parking lot. The restaurant is located in the same plaza as Popeyes facing Capital Blvd. read more

Best Pho love this spot!!! Brisket pho and their spring rollls are so delicious. Must get their iced Thai tea!!!!

Best pho in the triangle and I've tried almost all o. The broth was perfect with the right amount of fat and flavor. Didn't need any additives such as hoisin or sriracha. Staff was friendly as well. They have an off menu duck noodle/pho soup that is amazing as well. read more

Food was really good and the waitress was really nice. The atmosphere will keep you relaxed while you are eating.

The chicken Pho was hot and delicious. The bean sprouts and herbs were super fresh. Ordered spring rolls that were full of meat and ingredients. My coworker got the seafood Pho, he said the seafood was delicious and very fresh tasting. The service was very friendly and the facilities were very clean. I will definitely be back. read more

No words. Spring rolls have the consistency of a sausage stuffed in a casing. Vegetables where? Not good, literally wanted to throw them away but I don't like wasting my money. And they came with a duck sauce. What happened to the traditional fish sauce?? (Looking back at the menu, they do have fish sauce but they didn't bother asking me what I'd like.) I ORDERED brisket & flank pho. What I received did not look appetizing at all. Received about 1/4 of the typical amount of noodles. Would NEVER eat here again, even if it was free. read more

My boyfriend and I traveled from Virginia to see his sister in the area here. We were really craving some Vietnamese food and decided to come here! The service was great and the lady that served us is so kind. I got the vegetarian vermicelli and fresh coconut water for my drink. It was incredibly delicious, fresh, and hot! The ambiance was quiet, cozy, and very clean. We will definitely be back here the next time we're in the area! :) read more

The best pho in Raleigh area by far. Very homemade and not the commercial bullshiiet. Owners are local mom and pop vibes. Me and my gf to-go some pho at least once a week!! read more

I don't know if my one experience was an outlier but the food was extremely bland. I was going through a pho phase and was going from restaurant to restaurant and the flavor just wasn't there. The service was excellent and it was pretty empty when I went. I'm not a fan of their table/seating arrangement but I'm very particular read more

I was in RaleighNC-USA purchasing an upgraded motorbike hitch rack at a Harbor Freight in an out-of-the way strip mall and inadvertently found this adjacent Vietnamese eatery. I made a mental note of it's location, including opening hours. After finishing strapping the boxed load on top of my (motor)vehicle, I motored to visit historic downtown Raleigh, then returned to the now-open restaurant. It was well-worth the return; I love Vietnamese food, especially the coffee, and the rough exterior belies the ornate/decorous/immaculate interior. Maybe I ordered too much, but it was a great excuse to remain inside the pleasantly Oriental-scented atmospher. it was great, and I highly recommend it to anybody who like tasty food/fast & reliable service/friendly atmosphere. it certainly has my coveted "iWheel of Approval! read more

This was the worst Pho I have ever had and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I got the vegetable pho and there were literally barely any veggies in it and the ones that were in it didn't taste good. It's also priced very high especially for NC, I recently lived in HI where the cost of living is much higher than here and it didn't cost nearly as much. I also got the spring rolls which were absolutely disgusting and had meat in them which was a first for me when I usually get them there I who meat in them. If you want good quality pho don't come here they are garbage! read more

Unfortunately, this establishment is right next to one of those digital slot machine stores. When I first walked in, I mistook it for one of those old Las Vegas hotels. Cigarette smoke wafted through the walls. I couldn't take the stench and was on the verge of leaving. I chose the P1: Special Pho. The broth was tasty, but there were few noodles. The portion was quite small. There were a few good cuts of meat among the thick cuts of beef. After lunch, I was still hungry. Overall, good customer service. I hope their neighbor either moves or they can find a new location. read more

An amazing Vietnamese restaurant and dinner last night here in Raleigh, NC, while on a business trip from San Diego. My business partner is fighting a cold and has been coughing and sneezing and I felt he should have some soup for dinner and using YELP, found this AMAZING (Level 5 amazing) Vietnamese restaurant, Saigon Pho. It is located in a non-descrip, Asian strip mall, perhaps not notable at all, BUT, . . . . . . the food is probably some of the best Vietnamese pho I have ever had - and I have spent considerable time in Asia and Vietnam. The quality of the broth and the quality of the meats were exceptional and memorable. And their Jasmine tea, a blend of a tea bag and loose leaves was really wonderful! I will be back here!! read more

I used to work there and it couldn't get a little hectic because they're always short-staffed. But the food is delicious and I miss my old boss and her husband they were so nice and kind. It's in a busy and kind of sketchy area, but the food is delicious so if you go in the daytime, you'll be fine. read more

Awful. Just awful. I came here for lunch with my family on a Saturday. Immediately upon walking in, the smell of stale cigarette smoke hits you, like staying in a non-smoking hotel room where a previous guest smoked anyway and the hotel did a poor job of trying to air it out. This smell is probably coming from the sweepstakes parlor next door, so while it's not really Pho Saigon's fault and maybe they can't do anything about it, but it still sucks. We were greeted promptly, and offered any table in the empty restaurant. Empty on Saturday at lunch. Bad sign number two, but by this point we were committed. I opened up the menu and was excited to see a large number of Vietnamese dishes, including Bún bò Huế which I had been meaning to try. We ordered that, along with Pho and spring rolls. The food came out quickly, and that's where things went downhill. They first brought out vegetables to accompany the soups, but they did not look fresh. The greens were turning brown in areas and the bean sprouts were old. I did not enjoy the Bún bò Huế, as it had a fishy or slightly rotten flavor and smell, but maybe that's how it's supposed to taste. However, the Pho and fried spring rolls were also terrible. The Pho broth was bland, and the beef in it was overcooked and rubbery. The spring rolls had the texture of a sausage wrapped in dough, as another review noted. Everything just tasted ... off. We usually finish even mediocre meals when we eat out, but at some point we realized that we would pay for the pleasure of not eating this food. We paid and left. This is quite possibly the worst restaurant experience I've had in a while. On the bright side, I got to stop by for the sale at Harbor Freight in the same shopping plaza, but even that was disappointing. read more

Really friendly and quick service and nice restauraunt. We stopped in and it became rather busy on a Saturday afternoon, though covid precautions were still taken. Food was fresh and pretty good. Pho broths were tasty, but could be a bit more flavorful. The Bahn mi was packed with meat, though missing a grilled flavor. All in all, this was a good place for a quick bite. read more

The space has received a fresh coat of paint and no longer smells like smoke like the last pho spot here. They have all sorts of Vietnamese musical instruments hung on the wall which is a neat touch. We went in on a Tuesday night and there were a few tables chatting away. The service was friendly and food came out fast. The menu consists mostly of pho, rice bowls, and noodles bowls. If you aren't looking for carbs then this might not be the space for you. I got the meatball pho and thought it was quite tasty. It took a little doctoring up and it was perfect. I like that they have size options (s, m, l) and you don't just have to get one ginormous bowl. My husband got the beef noodle bowl and enjoyed it. The photo on the menu showed an egg roll as well which did not come with the dish. Overall we will definitely head in again for a quick, tasty, inexpensive dinner! read more

This place hit the spot!! I always love going to restaurants next to Asian grocery stores. I order the Pho tai and the ban mi. My only recommendation is to order extra noodles because the bowl was pretty light on noodles and meat. It was pretty inexpensive too! read more

This has been my favorite PHO place. Not anymore. Very disappointing. First, no napkins on the table. This is admittedly a minor snafu. Second, the bowl was skimpy And not as full as it is normally. The broth was much more salty which was unusual. Third, the bean spirits were turning brown. I was in a hurry and did not have time to get fresh ones. It is was the Beef Pho Special. For &13.95 plus tax, this was unacceptable. I miss Eden Center in Northern Virginia. read more

Saigon Pho - Bean s - Vietnamese Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

After eating here, Saigon Pho has become my top pho restaurant in the Triangle. Their beef pho broth is outstanding - full flavored, balanced, and well developed. We ordered three things here. The classic beef pho tai had that amazing broth, perfectly al dente noodles and tender beef slices. There wasn't a drop left! We also ordered 2 Banh Mi sandwiches, pork and beef. Both were served warm on toasted baguettes. The pork was the better one, nicely grilled and flavorful. The beef was sautéed with pate so it was too moist and soft for me, sort of like stew meat. But it was tasty. The duck noodle soup is not on the printed menu so you have to request it but it is a home run - delicious, crispy, flavorful and satisfying. While the duck is fried instead of being just roasted, the Hong Kong style noodles pair perfectly with it. A winner! Saigon Pho is casual but clean, and you can order the pho in small, med, or large sizes. Service was great and our water was refilled. If you like pho definitely come eat here!! read more

Possibly the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. I've had good, great, even mediocre pho before. This pho was, BY FAR, the worst I've ever had. I barely touched it and sure as hell didn't take any of it to go. Broth was flavorless; beef was so overcooked, tough, and tasteless; accompanying veggies and herbs were all brown and rotting (lime, basil, jalapeños, bean sprouts). A brown slice of lime was floating in the water served to me and made the water taste terrible. The fried "spring rolls" were terrible sausages wrapped in dough. My young kids wouldn't even eat them. The restaurant smelled of stale cigarette smoke. The prices were high (especially considering how truly terrible and old the food was). The waitress was fine, I guess, but not especially friendly and... she didn't take a hint: almost none of the food we ordered was eaten... maybe this is a red flag? You could not pay me to eat here again. Disgusting. read more

I've been here 8 times in the last two months. I've eaten at most of the Vietnamese restaurants in the Triangle area and Saigon Pho is by far the best. I've had their pho dac biet, bun thit nuong, bun bo hue, grilled pork banh mi, braised duck noodle soup and their roasted duck noodle soup. Everything was very good but the roasted duck noodle soup was my favorite (I love duck). The pho broth and duck noodle soup were very savory with the perfect balance. The garnish was right on with basil, bean sprouts, peppers and cilantros. The staff was very nice and friendly with mild décor. If you're reading this, just get in your car and head to Saigon Pho, you won't regret it. -The Grasshopper read more

The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because my daughter said the chicken was kind of bland. Other than that the food was good and fixed my craving for pho and summer rolls. The staff wore masks and they are accepting dine in services. I ordered our food to go and it was ready within 10-15 minutes. If There is something you do not like they are willing to accommodate you which is always a plus. I ordered the seafood pho, chicken pho and summer rolls. The food was cooked to order and was warm when I got home which was about a 25 minute drive. I wasn't expecting it to be piping hot but I was pleased with the portion size. My daughter ate some of hers but as stated she mentioned the chicken was bland but she ate the broth, noodles and "fixings". I ate my summer rolls which were delicious. The seafood pho was also delicious once I added my spices and sauces to make it spicy. The portions are plenty as I had enough for leftovers the next day. The staff was very friendly and pleasant. I will add this to my pho go to places to eat. read more
