    Nice menus
    Cristal B.

    The large bowl is extremely large , so come ready. The service is nice and welcoming. The vibe is light and it feels like home. We left full and happy .

    So I'm a regular here at Saigon restaurant whenever I need a pho/ soup fix. This place is located in the Lakes shopping center on Oakdale road and Floyd. I usually come once or twice a month here during lunch. If I had to say what most people order is the pho or other soups besides their rice dishes. Lunch can be busy and there's always people who order for pick up. So today, I ordered the wor won ton noodle soup and a Diet Coke. You have a choice of rice noodle (vermicelli clear noodle) or the egg noodle (yellow, often same used for chow mein). I got the egg noodle and added the bean sprouts and peppers that is given prior to the soup arriving. It also has mint and a lemon but I opt not putting those. I add the plum sauce and sriracha for added flavor. I've been to a few other pho places but this one is close to my office and they know me there. Don't even need a menu and the lady already knows my usual. Now service isn't anything great. They'll take your order but won't chit chat and they aren't one to smile, etc. That's okay with me as long as the food is good and it is. Place is clean. They sometimes have the tv on if you need something to watch. One thing I want people to know is they likely put MSG in their food and their soup. Way I know is that after a meal there, I develop a headache lol. So if you don't want MSG, either ask to not add or avoid going here. For me, it's still my go to place for lunch.

    #9 of Large Pho with rare steak and tendon

    Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - #9 of Large Pho with rare steak and tendon and #15 of Bun Bo Hue which is a spicy broth with beef and pork. Decent portion with clear pho soup but it was on the sweeter side. The spicy broth was our first time trying things like that and we enjoyed the flavor but it was quite oily. Service: 3/5 - very quick service and to the point so not friendly. First time so we didn't know you just walk up and tell them the table number to pay. Unfortunately, We couldn't tell if they were talking to us or at other workers some of the times. Ambiance: 3/5 - very compact store with sticky tables and condiments. Value for price: 5/5 - just under $15 per dish after tax which seems reasonable for the area and we enjoyed the food.

    This is a solid place if you're in the mood for some pho. I was a bit overwhelmed with the menu, but other yelp reviews really convinced me to try the garlic chicken. The garlic chicken was amazing and next time I come here, I'll definitely be getting it again. The pho was good and so were the spring rolls.

    This is a small restaurant that gets pretty packed quickly during dinner hours. Lots of parking since it's in a bigger shopping center. The food was very tasty and the portion sizes matched their prices very well. Their ice water is more like tap water so I strongly don't recommend that. I do prefer when restaurants have at least filtered water but that wasn't a big deal. The only reason why I marked them down was solely based on their customer service. Not bad service, but i feel they could have done way better. We were ready to order for a while. we made eye contact and even raised our hand so someone could take our order. Despite doing both, the worker just looked away and continued doing what they were doing. I thought maybe that wasn't that worker's role to take order, but eventually it was the same worker that finally took our order. Again, it wasn't too significant, but we definitely felt that we were ignored a bit.

    NOT SATISFIED!!! When I open the box of Beef Broccoli which is a very small food I have seen.read more

    We were mtg w/a friend who lives in Tracy. There was nothing open on a Sunday in Atwater (the 1/2…read moreway point for all of us), so we decided on Modesto. This place had good reviews so I was excited since I haven't had great Vietnamese food in Fresno. Was hoping this would be a treat. But it wasn't. Service wasn't great. No one ever checked on us to see if we needed anything. It wasn't crazy busy in there either since we there at off hours. Ambiance is standard for this kinda place. Whatever. Pretty big menu tho. Decided to do appetizers for dinner. ORDER: Crispy Crab Cakes: There was no discernible crab in them. Not even fake crab. No real flavor inside. It just tasted of overly greasy crust. But it was crispy I'll say. Choked down 1 & gave up. Fried Rolls: Normally the thing I love most at Vietnamese restaurants. This was mushy inside & bland. Pork & Shrimp Spring Roll: Wasn't filled very much. Like barely there noodles. One section I ate had none but had white radish strips, so I thought it was just lettuce, pork, shrimp & radish. I don't like a ton ton of noodles but it needed triple the amt to be an avg amt of noodle. The best thing about this was the peanut sauce. I give them high marks for their peanut sauce. Fried got pork vermicelli & shrimp spring rolls. Her high praise was "they gave a lot of meat." But otherwise her reaction was "it's ok." Other friend got garlic butter chicken wings. I had one. There was no garlic flavor on the wings but there was a bit of garlic & onion on the plate w/them. Otherwise, they tasted like naked wings. I like naked wings & admit they were cooked well. She also got brisket & flank pho w/out noodles. She said meat was tender & delicious. I really really wanted to like them more than I did. This is only the 2nd or 3rd time I've ever reviewed something where I gave less than 4 stars. Not my cup of tea, but glad they seem to have found their audience since they don't have poor reviews overall. Happy for them. Still on the quest for good Central Valley Vietnamese!
