I would have to agree with previous reviewers in regards to "there is no such thing as good Vietnamese in Omaha." I'm from the west coast and from a city with a large 'Nam population...did I mention I'm Vietnamese, too? With this in mind, this is some of the best Vietnamese you're going to get in Omaha. Saigon Surface is their much hipper sibling (and more $$). The service is friendly and I used to frequent this joint when I was really craving something healthy and when I'm too too lazy to cook Vietnamese food. I would get their Vermicelli bowls which are decent and their fish lime dipping sauce has always been delicious. I take my out-of-town coworkers here and they always leave raving about how deliciously awesome Vietnamese food is. I would sometimes order the Hu Tieu (clear noodle soup) which has nicely seasoned broth. read more

Stopped in for an impromptu lunch when my stomach was eating itself on a 100 degree day. Got the grilled pork + egg roll vermicelli. It was quite good. The noodles were a bit thicker than I am used to, but the house-made fish sauce was amaze-balls. Also, super reasonably priced. I would throw some extra shrimp onto it if you want a but more of a meal, but I don't think you can lose either way. read more

Been going here for years. Excellent vietnamese food. Good pho good curry and the vietnamese pork chop is out of this world unique and flavorful. Recommended. read more

I had the Pho soup with beef, meatball, and tendon. It was delicious and plentiful. The spring rolls were generous and fresh. I barely finished my food, and I can really eat some quantity! So, this is not a place the average diner should leave feeling hungry. read more

Had the fish in a clay pot. Seems everything is better when cooked in a clay pot.. Fish was perfect and had a devious sauce and texture. I am off to find me a clay pot..... read more

I had the pho, a dish I consume frequently all over the country. Good flavor. Smaller portion than I've ever encountered before. Very skimpy on garnish. Lime and jalapeño were dry. :( read more

Saigon Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Just moved from southern CA a couple weeks ago and decided to give this place a try and compare it to the dozens of Vietnamese places there. Ordered the spring rolls and the pho tai, fairly common in all places. The service was speedy and the spring rolls showed up in no time. Taste and texture were good. Peanut sauce was good, though not quite as thick as I'm used to. The pho arrived and it also had a good taste, though slightly bland. I liked the noodles as they were more like linguini noodles than pasta noodles. Lunch for two with drinks came out to ~$20. Not bad - will probably return. read more

Hmmmm, where to begin.... Everything there is soooo good. I've been here at least 20 times and I've never had a bad meal! My favorites are the bbq vermicelli,spring rolls, and the tilapia clay pot! read more

Great food and an awesome selection of vegetarian items. The green walls need updated, as it reminds me of my Great Grandmothers basement pantry. Also DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT look at the mini blinds. It almost ruined dinner. read more

My vermicelli noodles were a little more bland than I would have liked, but nothing a little sriracha and hoisin sauce can't fix. Super chill dining area and good sized portions!! read more

I ordered the pho beef. There was not much flavor to the soup, it was bland and didn't have any taste to it. The menu needs to get updated

I ordered the fish curry, and it tasted like they used a beef broth, yuck. The menu selections are limited to american tastes, hey why don't we just add ketchup to everything because that is what kind of restaurant this is. I mean they put imitation French fries bought from any grocery store into the curry substituted for potatoes. Come on, really! Double disgusting and cheap. I'll never go back there ever. If you don't want to waste you money or spoil your taste buds, then don't go here. read more

Terrible service!!! It takes forever to get the food and the waitress doesn't like Asian people. She is not kind at all.

Best Pho & bbq pork in town. Feels a little like a Vietnamese Grandma's house. Excellent friendly service, a bit slow during lunch and dinner rush. Great menu with many many options. Love that the TV never had sports, but instead shows the Food Network! read more

This is honestly one of my favorite restaurants I have ever been to. Literally FULL of flavor I have never tasted and wows me every time ! I am vegan so sometimes finding alternatives is difficult and nope not here, the tofu curry and tofu lemon grass was to DIE FOR !!! I really recommend this restaurant. read more

The atmosphere and service at Saigon is excellent. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and our server was attentive and helpful. I ordered beef curry and my husband ordered the pork clay pot. We got spring rolls for an appetizer. Our food was prepared quickly and it was delicious. I am already looking forward to our next visit. The prices were fantastic. read more

best pho in town! get the raw beef - the hot soup will "cook" it just enough. I add about one tablespoon for hoison sauce and about a tsp of sriracha sauce to make it perfect! And make sure you add all the veges, mint and cilantro that they give you. I CRAVE this soup! read more

Good is always satisfying and tastes great. Convenient location. Prices are quite reasonable, especially considering the amount of food you receive. This is my go to place for Vietnamese food in Omaha. read more

Spring rolls - average. Pho with rare steak - best in Omaha so far compared to Vietnamese Asian and New Gold Mountain. Rare steak was tender but could have provided a little bit more for the price. Comes with basil, beans sprouts, cilantro and lime. First place in Omaha where I received basil and lime. Other Omaha places gave cilantro and lemon, which I don't like and seems to be the norm in Omaha. Can't remember if jalapenos were included. Wish they provided more basil and lime, and the tables should have spicy garlic sauce. It's good but I would like to see more varieties of pho - more beef such as brisket, flank, round plus some tendon and tripe. I think they should also sell different sizes small, medium, large. This also seems to be another Omaha thing, smallish to medium sized option only. Place was clean, staff was friendly but very slow service. I can't figure out why pho takes so long to prepare in Omaha. Broth is already prepared, just need to prep the noodles and beef. It appeared to be fairly busy with dine-in and take-out which is a good sign. Overall - best pho place in Omaha. Still room for improvement though. read more

If only I could give zero stars.. My first trip here and I will not be coming back. I came here with my family last weekend just wanting to enjoy a nice meal together before dropping off some family at the airport. We ordered the fried egg rolls and even specified with the waitress that we wanted lettuce to be served with it. (We noticed on the menu that it didn't say they were served with lettuce but when we asked about it the waitress said she could.) When we got our egg rolls they forgot the lettuce and we had to go up and find someone to tell them. (There were 4 waiters working and there were only a couple tables that were already eating when we were seated, so there's no excuse for not being attentive to our table.) One of the waitresses (I think she might've been the hostess or something) was VERY rude to us. She told my aunt that their establishment was a restaurant and not a fast food joint... very uncalled for. Also, when we got the bill, they already included a 20% tip... I'm pretty sure the standard is 18%. I've never heard of a place charging 20% for a party of six... And it was not stated on their menu or anywhere else of automatically charging tip for bigger groups, which is pretty much standard for all restaurants nowadays. TL;DR Food - subpar, nothing special Service - SO rude, automatically charged 20% tip for a group of 6 Won't be coming back ever. read more

The Pho was OK. A little too much mint for me. Very nice and clean atmosphere. Wait staff was very nice. Love the cucumber water, they kept the glass full. read more

Terrible terrible terrible service. Won't come back. The food is too salty Or tasteless. The waiter didn't respect me at all

Business hours are wrong. They are not open till 10 pm. I drove to it but it is not even operational or maybe even closed at 8

The authenticity of the pho broth is not there which the broth is what makes the soups flavor. Not sure what's going on but not authentic pho. read more

Inexpensive, frequent checks (a server comes to our table when the water is half way through empty), the beef I had with pho soaked up some taste of the soup so the entire time I was eating pho I enjoyed the taste. I was not just filling up my appetite. Also, their shrimp rolls and egg rolls are great too. In Asia they have egg rolls but calling it differently. In Japan where I come from, we call them Harumaki and have them with soy sauce or ponzu (mirin, rice vinegar, katsuobushi flakes from tuna and seaweed mixed). In the Philippines where my mother is from and I lived for years, they call Spring rolls Lumpia and use sweet chili sauce. Here, at Saigon, they served Egg rolls with fish sauce and it was great! We enjoyed the shrimp rolls as well. It comes with peanuts sauce and it was delicious. We're definitely gonna go back again. The location is good. You have two different exits to take to get there and leave. read more

We had so yummy fish clay pot and a vermicelli bowl loaded with fresh ingredients and delicious sauce. Share a fish pot and a order of mixed vegetables in brown sauce - you won't be sorry. Watch cooking shows and slow jam to sax solos. Friendly wait staff. read more

Saigon Restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Second Addendum: Since the review below, we've gone to eat a few times recently and have been disappointed. Food was lukewarm and the sauce more like gravy. Maybe there's a new cook. My daughter was disappointed with her curry. I think we're moving on after many years. Great food that's fast and fresh. My wife likes their soups and I love the pepper steak dinner. Spring rolls and the wings are yummy. Another added detail we like is that you can choose the level of spice, 1-10. Bubble tea is good. Addendum: a recent visit not so good. my food was cold and my step-daughter's curry too much peanut sauce. Hope this was an aberration. read more

Awfully slow service. Don't come hungry! Management is a joke, wow.... food was okay, but not worth the wait.

I've heard good things about this restaurant and finally decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. The three of us had crab rangoon, Vietnamese spring rolls, and beef pho. All the food was amazing. The staff was friendly and service was quick. They brought waters out before even taking our drink order, which I really enjoyed. Highly recommend trying it out!! read more

Saigon Restaurant - Thin sliced Beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I've had two experiences here. Pho Ga is very bland (chicken pho). Broth isn't very flavorful. Fresh spring rolls are good. Second experience ordered garlic chicken. Won't do that again. Sauce heavy and too sweet. Dish was made in a rush. Garlic jacket in my food. read more

Very bad service. An Asian waitress was rude and not serving us on purpose. We kindly asked her to turn down the music and ten minutes later, we did not receive any service nor the music is turned down. With the waitress eyeballing us, she finally took our orders after we asked for it. And she threatened us saying we harass her but none of us raise a voice or touch her. We waited for half an hour and still no food. We have another waitress she is way better than the first one this is the reason I gave the star. read more

Food I had was really good- Vermeclli bowl. Lady in charge or owner-whatever, was rude on the phone said she couldn't help me over the phone she was too busy with other people. Maybe put me on hold?.. Got there waiter super nice- didn't catch her name. Owner came with her to bring out drinks. I wanted to keep the drinks menu because I didn't know what I wanted yet. Owner grabbed and and I said I still needed it. She rudely said oh we have to wipe it down. Ok... then wipe it down after I leave? Would be back for a to go order, not to sit down. read more

Here I had the best pho since I moved back to the area. The decor is clean and contemporary, the service is attentive and polite, and the menu looks amazing! I will be back. read more

This place is pretty good. The soups like the pho and Saigon noodle soup are the best but the appetizers are also good. The only issue is the service is kinda slow and some of dishes come in small portions. I like the spring rolls and the bubble tea smoothies but the price based on quantity is kinda ridiculous. All in all this may be Omaha best option for this type of food but it leaves something to be desires. read more

Saigon Restaurant - Saigon chicken wings - Vietnamese Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

The outside hides a great restaurant and sleek decore inside. This is not your typical mom&pop old school Vietnamese restaurant. It almost felt like a asian fusion place rather than the DELICIOUS and AUTHENTIC Vietnamese place that it is. The food quality is outstanding. I got take out. I am IMPRESSED by the attention to detail" - The plasticware was the "more expensive" harder plastic spoons/knife/fork. - Even got some (asian) custard apple candies for desert - the Styrofoam containers were bottom double walled (done by hand) This makes for a leak proof and extremely sturdy container!!! The (mixed) fish sauce is very authentic and delicious. the peanut/hoisin sauce... did not have enough peanut taste and a bit salty They don't have Banh Mi - i asked... The spring rolls with grilled pork... it is grilled pork sausage - not just grilled pork slices. The Beef "Luc Lac" salad with white rice was delicious. perfectly seasoned - on top of lettuce/pickled carrots/grilled onions - with (mixed) fish sauce read more

I first tried Saigon on the recommendation from a co-worker and was more than impressed. I've yet to have a bad meal or service and have made this restaurant a regular stop with friends and family. Service is super prompt but not intrusive. I tried the pho and was very pleased with both the quality and quantity - you can easily walk away full! The spring rolls are fresh and tasty as well, and the main entrees won't leave you wanting either. My only complaint is that their soda comes in a can and doesn't include free refills. If you're looking for good, fresh Vietnamese food in West Omaha, I can't think of a better place. Also a smart option if you've never tried Vietnamese cuisine. read more

There are places in town that do it better. I was there tonight for a bowl of pho. The beef and noodle ratio to broth was lackluster and not worth the money. The beef was too thick and very small chunks. As though they were running out and trying to save. The broth was not the piping hot goodness that I have come to expect from other places. When I voiced all of this, I was not even given an apology. Probably bc the English of the staff is not up to the standard of understanding my complaint. I will never go back! read more

The service is really slow. However it has a nice relaxing atmosphere. The decor is great, and it's a good place to sit and relax with friends. The food is kinda average, but I do like the Saigon chicken wing and the sesame chicken. read more

I would never have expected to find awesome Vietnamese food in Omaha Nebraska. A bit of a limited menu from what I am used to, the crispy shrimp (Mandarin style), BBQ ribs, Pho, and shrimp cold spring rolls were all good. Only reason I didn't give them 5* is they didn't have a Vietnamese Crepe on the menu, but what they do have is awesome! read more

Poor service--at least from our waiter. We got to know two other servers because we had to keep flagging them down because ours was too cool for school. The egg & wanton pho had no egg in it. Also, the shrimp in that dish WERE NOT DE-VEINED. You could SEE the filthy veins in them. We were both a little sick later. Beware. Also, only one bathroom. read more
