Tried this place for the first time today and we were not disappointed...the food we ordered was very good, the staff was professional and courteous, and the atmosphere was as expected--nothing glam, but serviceable. The Saigon Pho was very good--on par with any we've had since coming to Olympia one short year ago. The pork Bahn Mi was first rate--well seasoned with crispy bread and succulent pork strips. We also ordered pot stickers---and while surprised that they were fried crispy all around, they were delicious. Waiter was great, friendly, and professional. Only one deleterious note, but this isn't peculiar to this pace, but is found in many restaurants around Olympia (and elsewhere, to be frank)--the condiment containers on the table hadn't been cleaned (perhaps ever!). I don't understand this and I am always surprised when I go to a restaurant and they actually HAVE been cleaned! That said, I see more visits to Saigon Rendezvous in our future Recommend. read more

Wonderful and respectful service. Food was really good and quick. Can't wait to try the Phô as it looked really delicious.

Ho leeeeeeee sheeeeee it. Get the Bo Né, the sizzling beef platter is absolutely next level. We tried this place based on the other yelp reviews and I would happily drive up here from portland again for this. The pork bún was also fantastic, but my wife said she'd definitely order the Bo Ne next time. The combination of flavors was totally unique. read more

This place was so good. We got the shrimp fresh rolls, beef and meatball pho, and panang curry. Along with Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee. 5 stars for food and drinks BUT we did encounter some problems. There was a small bug in my girlfriend's pho (that didn't even come with the meatballs), and there was lipstick on her cup of water. We didn't let the waiter know because we decided to eat it anyway, and just asked for a straw for the water. We're pretty laid back people. Everything was so delicious though. 10/10 for taste of food, 5/10 for cleanliness, 9/10 for service read more

Lovely food and very good service, warms the soul, especially on a chill day. It's downtown and there's so much to see.

Saigon Pho Bowl: I've been getting pho like 15 years and this is hands down the BEST I've ever had. The broth is extremely flavorful, the meat is really tender and not too thin, they use high quality noodles, and the chili oil is actually spicy!! Absolute must try. read more

Exciting to come back here. They have remodeled the restaurant and have new menu with many Vietnamese tradition dishes. Xiu mai chao was so good. Meatball was soft and savory. The sauce that came with it is delicious. Bread for dipping goes well with the sauce, its perfect combination. Pho broth was amazing as well. Best pho I have ever tried. You must try these both dishes, it wont disappoint you. read more

Okay! I loved this place years ago! I would take my Mom there and we never had a bad meal! It's been years and new owners! Decided to give it a try tonight! OMG! If you haven't been there GO! I had the walnut shrimp and it was fantastic! My partner had cashew stir fry veggies and it was off the charts good! Do yourself a favor and try this gem of a place in downtown Olympia! Clean, bright and great tasing food! read more

I had the pork bahn mi. It was pretty small and there was no pate, which I think should go on all bahn mi's. Didn't have very much pickled vegetables on it, also light on the meat. The flavor was good though. It was on a very small plate, which means there breadcrumbs all over the place. My brother had the pork and sausage rice plate. They forgot that it came with the egg roll. Not very much meat, but tasted good. My mom and dad had the combination pho. They really like it. read more

The food was delicious. They were really generous with the serving size and the produce was nice and fresh. I got the yellow curry and my husband had the Pho with short ribs. Both were so yummy! The broth of the pho is top notch and the amount of meat they give is amazing! The inside of the restaurant is all redone and very clean. read more

This is my go-to Thai and pho place in olympia. It is the only place I have been that does good Thai AND good pho. I think their broth is delicious. The Thai food is delicious. They even have Har gow, bonus! read more

Me & My boyfriend have been going here for about a month now here and there, We usually always get Pho with a extra side of noodles. Always the same order , Never the same price. everytime we go here the price is changed he charges less or more & that Is becoming annoying. so we will not be going here anymore. The broth for the pho is very plain not to flavorful. noodles basic , never have had any other food from here. and not going to , thank you. read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Olympia. Itts only about a mile from my place and me and my partner love to come here. The service is always so nice and the food is always fresh and delicious. We love all three of the phos. I really like the reef roast one. Tried something new this last time and it was also great! read more

The food came out fast. It was fresh and delicious. The service worker gave off a positive vibe and it lighten the mood.

The owner is very kind, and the Pad-see-ew is soooo delicious! Lots of other yummy dishes as well!

Not from Olympia but I was running errands in the area and I was wanting pho for lunch. I yelped the place with the most stars and this place did not disappoint. I love crab Rangoons and order them anywhere they are available. Rating a 4-- The crab Rangoons were just okay but the pho was amazing! I got the Pho Saigon bowl with everything in it. I always taste the broth before adding anything. The broth was probably the best I've had in a while. I can tell they use high quality meats because the brisket was *chefs kiss* The brisket is nothing like other pho places where it's brown, dry and over done! Will be returning when I'm in the area and I'm looking forward to it. read more

The service is fast and friendly! The pho is delicious and the garlic veggies with tofu was yummy. It is very casual with nice ambience and music playing. Great value too! read more

The crab rangoons are the best around. Yummy pad Thai and good options for vegetarians. My boyfriend still thinks I made dinner he won't leave me because he thinks I am the only person in the world who knows how to make rangoons this good read more

Went around 1 pm on a Tuesday and there were a good amount of people in there, not crowded though. Interior looks very clean and nicely decorated. It looked like there was only one person taking orders and cashing people out, but the service was friendly and timely! Ordered the BBH (bún bò huế) and Saigon Pho Bowl. Portions wise, I think they give a decent amount of meat, noodles, and veggies! BBH - comes with some thai basil, shredded cabbage, beansprouts, and lime on the side. Overall, not really that great in my opinion. I don't think I'd order it again. The broth had flavor (it isn't spicy though) but I still felt like it was missing something. The brisket that comes with it was really soft and tender! I'm not a fan of the other meats though. There's also pork blood but I didn't like the texture of it. I'm normally used to it being mostly smooth but this was really flaky and fell apart quite easily? Saigon Pho - they use thick noodles! it was pretty yummy and flavorful. Would recommend. 3 stars because I wasn't super impressed with what we ordered but the other options on the menu look pretty interesting! I would come back again to try other stuff. read more

This place has the best broth I have ever had! Very tasty! It was so good, I forgot to even add sriracha and hoisin. I also ordered pad thai and to my great surprise, it was fantastic! I can't remember ever finding a Vietnamese restaurant that can do good Thai and vice versa until now. It's a rare thing, for sure. Based on the pad thai, I imagine the rest of their Thai food is really good, too. This is now my favorite pho place in town and in the top 3 in Thai, too. read more

AMAZING!!! Eat here! Don't be fooled by the old exterior, which we thought was very cool after we experienced the inside, after first being unsure. Inside is modern and clean and lovely. The food was authentic and delicious. Pho broth was legit- especially loved the tendon, brisket and steak. Had plenty of good options for kids. Boba was a perfect dessert. We are especially impressed by the young man doing everything! Granted it was mid afternoon and slow, but this extremely nice and energetic guy ran the dining room and kitchen. So impressed! read more

Great place to eat. Always empty on weekdays so it's a nice quiet place with good service. The food is definitely made with care. Just a little spendy so I can only come on occasion. read more

The food came out quick, I ordered the yellow curry, chicken fried rice, and beef pho and shrimp spring roll. Everything came out working 10 mins. The service was welcoming and amicable. The person serving us was very attentive. The inside was clean and spacious. Overall, I recommend. read more

It doesn't look like much from the outside. The sign is elegantly old snd the interior lacks charm, very brightly lit and sterile, but the food is amazing. This restaurant came highly recommended for its pad Thai and it did not disappoint. A generous portion toooed with shredded carrots, bean sprouts, peanuts snd a sauce that was spot on. I asked for 3 star out of 5 and it was perfect, just enough spice to flavor without overpowering it. The peanut sauce for the fresh spring rolls was dense, creamy and perfect. The red curry has plenty of sauce, tender chicken snd from by vegetables. I'll be back! read more

Got here close to closing time but they seated us and let us order anyway, food was delicious! I will definitely be back!!

I had the beef pho w/steak and brisket but the broth was oddly sweet, which was not appealing at all. Not sure I would go back after that; just disappointing. read more

The food here is so yummy. I would give a million stars if I could. The service is also really good and the people that work there have always been friendly. The inside of the restaurant is also very clean and cozy. read more

I was just here for lunch and will be back soon. I had the pad Thai and my lunch-mate had the pho. It was so good! They have a sign up warning you that wait times may be longer due to staffing shortages. That was not the case for us. read more

This place is so cute and SUPER clean in the main eating area. They've done amazing things with this old building. The bathrooms leave something to be desired though and did have fruit flies in them. The guy cleaning the place is meticulous. The food is above average and I would eat here again, however each dish did cost about $2-3 more than I ever pay anywhere else so I'm not running back here. I suspect they may need to have higher prices due to their location downtown? Which is another issue altogether and no fault of the restaurant.... it's surrounded by homeless people begging for money and smoking drugs. But that's really downtown Olympia in a nutshell, unfortunately. We walked half a block and didn't quite feel safe. I've never been glared at for telling someone I don't have a dollar before. So just be aware- if you can find a spot directly in front of this establishment, that's your best bet to avoid the afore mentioned issues. read more

We ordered the tofu banh mi, steak and tendon pho, vegan egg rolls, and pork egg rolls. The food was delicious!! The baguette was so good! It was light, crispy, and savory. Amazing. The pho broth was light and packed with flavor. The noodles were soft and chewy the egg rolls came out hot as hell and were really tasty 5/5 will be back for sure read more

One of the only restaurants that was open on Memorial day and I had honestly never even considered going here before then. I ordered Pad Thai with tofu. At first I was skeptical because it had chopped lettuce on it with the carrots and cabbage. I have never seen this before in pad thai. It was AMAZING. the crunch from the lettuce was nice touch. I ordered a 2.5 star spice heat, explaining that 2 isn't enough and 3 sometimes is too much and they nailed the spice level! It was perfect with the spice building while eating but never too hot. I loved it so much that I wanted Pad Thai again the next day (I know.... indulgent) so I ordered it from my normal spot (thai pavilion) and it was a huge disappointment because the one from Pho Na Saigon Rendezvous was so good! I will always order from here now! read more

I ordered via door dash and it's a good 25 min from my house. But the food arrived hot and delicious. Honestly I had low expectations because the other Thai food I have tried in town has been serviceable at best. This food was really good. I ordered again the next day because it left me so happy. The honey chicken is awesome and the pad Thai was definitely the best I have had in town. So happy to have found this Gem of a restaurant. I am going to try the Vietnamese pho next. read more

The food was amazing!!! The owners were so friendly! We got free Thai Tea for any entree we ordered. We got Banh Xeo, Bo Ne, Crispy Garlic Chicken and PadThai. The Banh Xeo was a so delicious the shell was so crispy and that is perfection right there! Bo Ne comes with 2 sunny side up eggs with marinated beef steak that served on an hot iron plate, the steak were so tender the eggs bottom crispy but the yolk still nice and runny. Crispy Garlic Chicken over the top here! The sauce is outstanding! PadThai was so crazy! Every bite was full of flavors and the spice level can be make according to your desired! I really recommend trying out this place, you wont be disappointed! read more

Just was passing by and noticed the 4.5 star reviews online so I was expecting to get some good food. The crab delight had only cream cheese in them and were literally almost black from how overly fried they were. And the portions are children sized. I got the sauce for my salad and there was barely enough. Maybe a table spoon. read more

Good pho, great flavor, and portion sizes. The spring rolls were really delicious. There is only one size they offer.

Best tasting pho broth I have tasted. I would say the best in Thurston County. Highly recommend their phad thai, yellow curry, and cashew garlic chicken! I've tried other dishes and apps there and they all taste amazing. Great customer service! They say they are short staff but we didn't have to wait long to get our food to our table! read more
