Saigon Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Rochester, New York

I have had pho from almost every place in Rochester. This is far and away the best. Family run , and you are treated like family when you come in. The broth is aromatic with scallions, cilantro and clear beef bone broth. Perfect. Beef is portioned generously. Served with the requisite bean sprouts, purple basil and lime. If you're looking for great beef pho , look no further. You've found it. read more

Was looking for a new restaurant that makes pho. The one I used to go to all the time closed so l had to find a new place. I have to admit the pho is very good. Also the two women who worked there were very friendly. My only complaint is the seating area is a little small. Definitely will be coming back here. read more

Banh mi!! 3 for $10! Can make spring rolls vegetarian with avocado. Very laid back environment and accommodating. Made a dish for our vegan and veggie friends. Great jasmine tea. The banh mi has very pickled vegetables, and they use a lot of spread. The bread is just right and the sandwich is sure to satisfy your banh mi craving. read more

Nom nom nom. This is a great little hole in the wall place that we found on Yelp after a few ours of wedding dress shopping with friends. It seems a little 'sketch,' but what I like to call it is: more authentic! It feels like it would if you found it downtown in Chinatown or wherever it is you can find lots of Asian type foods. The menu is pretty simple, two sides and a selection of choices. We all chose Pho because who doesn't want hot soup on a rainy crappy afternoon? I ordered vegetarian pho, I was so so happy that they had tofu and all that goodness going into it. Everyone else ordered the beef pho, two friends had never had it before and I think they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It's a big bowl, with a lot of food. I managed to eat all of the noodles but not the rest, it's so much! They give you a ton of garnish, too. They ordered the spring rolls and oh man, they came out with like 12 spring rolls as an appetizer! I don't think that is normally how much it is but they had extras, from what I heard they were tasty. Definitely a spot I think people should try out if they like pho and good food. read more

We could not have been happier. It was the best. Pho. Ever. A hole-in-the-wall place, with charming, friendly, informative, and attentive staff. Delicious Vietnamese iced coffee (with those amazing pellet ice cubes) and again... The. Best. Pho. Ever. Steaming hot, full of flavor, ample jalapeños, fresh basil, and bean sprouts on the side. I went to bed that night dreaming about it. If you are a Pho person, you simply must visit. We moved here from the west coast almost two years ago and this is the first place we've gone to that I will return to... and I plan to as much as possible. Happy Happy. Joy Joy. Happy Pho to all. read more

I love this place! Great service and delicious food. I haven't had decent pho since living in San Diego. This place was a fantastic find; their pho is tangy and scrumptious. Food is made quickly and service is prompt and friendly. I was impressed with take out as well, pho was made quickly and they carefully packed noodles, toppings and soup separately. read more

Everything on this menu is great, especially the big tasty Bahn Mi. 3 for $10 is hard to beat. Pho is good, spring rolls are good, pretty much everything I've had is good. They also told me they could Thit Kho if you tell them you are coming well ahead of time. Haven't done this yet, but need to remember for next time. read more

Best Pho in Rochester. Friendly service! The spring rolls are always fresh. The beef pho is a must have. The seafood pho is a hidden menu item that they can make for you if you ask, and it doesn't disappoint. read more

Great experience. We had Pho (beef) and fried spring rolls. Both really delicious, fresh, and hit the spot on this blustery "Spring" day. The Pho broth had great flavor. Spring rolls were shatteringly crisp and not at all greasy. Also to try is the Vietnamese iced coffee, which is a thickly sweet, very strong coffee served over ice, definitely a caffeine pick me up. The owners were super pleasant, and very patient while we were making our selections (my dining companion being my 10 year old who was not exactly embracing the whole "try something new" idea). I look forward to visiting again. read more

I only ate the pho here but I feel that it's a staple food to try at most viet places. The soup of the pho was good but my problem is the quantity. For the amount paid there was a very small amount of meat in comparison to the noodles. And following that there was such a large amount of soup that almost seemed like it was meant to hide how little food you received for the price. My girlfriend got another dish with veggies, chicken, and noodles and we saw the same issue on her plate. She received a bare amount of veggies and meat in comparison to how much noodles came with the dish read more

I've been here twice and both times I found myself wondering why I didn't come here more often. The portions are generous and the food is authentic and delicious. The wait staff is extremely friendly. If you're sick and need something warm to clear your sinuses Shanghai Pho is a no brainer! read more

What a great "hole in a wall" restaurant! The server was extremely nice, kept refilling our hot tea without being asked. The menu is a little weird, they only have few things on there. But if you ask their take out menu, there are so much more. I originally went there for my craving for "Pad Thai" but it was not on the menu. So I end up getting their beef pho- which was amazing- but then found out that they do make Pad Thai- it is not on the regular menu, but it's on their take out menu. Maybe you need to know what kind of things they serve {like become regular there? :D} Anyways, their pho was amazing. I have tried many restaurants for pho but this was one of the best. Very generous portion of beef, broth was great and veggies were fresh. We also ordered spring rolls and it was fresh and great as well (and very cheap!) I am definitely coming back to this place, as well as to recommend you all pho lovers. It is a worth of try! read more

Saigon Pho - Hot and spicy - Vietnamese Near Me - Rochester, New York

A dream come true. It's the restaurant my wife and I always long for but rarely find. A tiny, unassuming place serving delicious, amazing authentic ethnic cuisine. The inside is not elegant or quaint, just very plain and cheap looking, but they keep it clean. The Pho was amazing. The broth was super flavorful and comforting, and they serve it with a huge plate of the usual accoutrements, including ample Thai basil. I went with my wife and son, and all three of us couldn't stop talking about how freaking good it was the whole time. We also got the fresh spring rolls, which were tasty, served with a good, thick peanut sauce. With a few drops of sriracha, it was pretty dang good. But the pho. Good Lord, the pho. The service was also superb. The man serving us was abundantly friendly and helpful. He caught us eyeing up some strange-looking stuff in the cooler, and rushed over to serve it to us, free of charge, and tell us all about it. Sticky rice with black-eyed-peas, which you douse with coconut milk and eat. Pretty tasty. He was just so happy to share it with us. He asked us if we wanted to try his Bahn Mi, claiming it was famous in Rochester, but we were already stuffed. This place has boatloads of flavor, service so good you feel like family, and it all comes in a wonderfully unassuming package. We will be back again and again. read more

Decided to try this place out based on the reviews on yelp. Just as others described it is a bit of a "hole in the wall" but we were greeted immediately and brought hot tea. We decided to split an order of the fresh spring rolls based on a suggestion here again, and boy I'm glad we did. They were amazing with the fresh zesty peanut sauce. I had the beef pho for a main dish and this being my first real taste of authentic pho, I didn't know what to expect but it was very delicious. Since most of us got the pho, they brought out a giant plate with spouts, basil, jalapenos and the like to add to our pho. Very delicious and reasonably priced! If you want really good pho, check them out! read more

Saigon Pho is a cute little restaurant at the end of a plaza. Upon entering, we were seated right away. The menu is simple and provides pictures to help simplify your decisions. We first ordered the spring roles and they were on point. I never had one with shrimp AND pork but it worked. The peanut sauce was good too. I ordered the shrimp pho. I've had authentically classic pho in the past and this one missed the mark. The pros are that it was fresh and still delicious, it just didn't fix my craving for classic pho. My family had the beef and chicken phos and liked them. The medium size phos are huge so unless you're starving, don't order the large. read more

My GF and I were craving some Vietnamese food and heard this place had some good PHO and decided to try this place out. Sitting down was awkward to say the least. We were not greeted, nor given menus. They were almost surprised to see that we were there. The menu/pricing could use some work as it had only 2 appetizers and portions were made for 4-6 people and not 2. (10 eggrolls for $10) This place was totally empty but somehow we had to wait 20 minutes for our appetizers and more 15 minutes for our main dish. I ordered the PHO ($10 large bowl, only one selection for pho) which is a small bowl in most places. The pho wasn't too bad, but was not the greatest. My GF enjoyed her rice and rib dish. We ordered some banh mis to go and they were pretty good. All and all if I was around this area and was dying for some PHO i would eat here again. But I will stick to Sea Restaurant. I would definitely come back for the banh mis though read more

Best Pho in the city hands down. The deep rich beef broth is full flavored and well seasoned. Others in the city are flat compared so this. I just wish they offered tripe and tendon. The Bahn Mi is also excellent. read more

This has been one of our go-to spots on the westside for a couple years, but I am going to take a wait and see attitude now. I believe the place is under new management, and they may be maximizing profits by cutting corners. My wife and I both came to the same conclusion after lunch recently. The servings have gotten smaller and more expensive. They're doing things like charging for bottles of water instead of bringing it in cups. The noodle dishes seem to have fewer noodles too. It's still pretty good, but not the deal it used to be. read more

I would normally rate this 3stars, but this cute shop gets the 1 extra for its home feel. Clearly Mom and Pop restaurant as Mom is clearly the cook and Pop is the server. In fact the place is so home like that you walk through the kitchen to use its bathroom. The food is really good. Especially if you're in the Rochester area this place is pretty on par for the area. The Bún bo Hue is yummy. The pho is ok nothing outstanding HU TIEU here is yummy The COM TOM RIM here is ok. There's a fried egg in this meal which was weird but I'll take it. The goi cuon is big, comes 4 in an order. banh xeo here is good. Crispy and thick. The Vietnamese sandwich (for you sandwich hunters) is pretty delish here. The owners are well loved people as you sit and eat a lot of the community drops by and buys the crap out of here. It feels good to eat here as a Vietnamese American that seems to drift farther away from his roots. It's like eating at home for me. Good joint! read more

My friend recommend me this place and I was impress, their Pho is pretty good (almost close to homemade). And they got all the green right too, like most Pho place in this area doesn't have ngò gai, well they do. Next time, I gonna try their Bún Bò Hue for sure. Also the coffee was made right. Vietnamese coffee need to blend perfectly with the ice and not being over watered by adding ice too soon like the case in Sea Restaurant. The service was good and the lady, who was helping there, was very friendly. read more

Saigon Pho - This place is pho-king amazing!! Best broth I've ever had and they added brocolli on request . Totally worth the 20min drive for me. - Vietnamese Near Me - Rochester, New York

Stopped here just after leaving the airport while in town for a few days. Good stuff. I had the Pho Tai and spring rolls which is pretty much my staple at pho places. I felt the pho was a little light on meat, but it was good. The spring rolls tasted very fresh. I saw one group actually had their meat brought out to them raw so they could put it in the broth themselves. I also got 3 bahn mi to go that I brought to my hotel room. I think it was 3 for 10$ and can't go wrong with that price. The only caveat here is that if you're a stickler for super clean places, this is not for you. It wasn't dirty by any means, but definitely had a 'divey' feeling. read more

I was very satisfied with the service here. The woman who served us was one of the most energetic, polite, and enthusiastic waitresses I have ever encountered. The food came out very quickly and the environment was really quiet. Honestly, they could use some light music in the background. Other than that, I highly recommend it here! My coworker and I fell in love and will definitely be returning next time we're in the area. I'm so glad I listened to the positive reviews! read more

This place has THE BEST PHO of all time! I moved to North Carolina a few months ago and can't find a pho to beat this one!

You also get a good amount for the price and the people there are extremely nice! read more

My friend and I went for late night dinner. I ordered medium bowl with a coke, and he ordered a large bowl. But they brought us a small sized bowl and we knew my friend should have gotten a larger bowl. But they charged my friend $9.75 for a small bowl which he should get a large bowl instead. They charged me $9.75 for a small bowl and a coke but they kept insisted we got the large bowl. I felt my friend got ripped off from this and he is never going to come back to this place. What a shame. read more
