Came at 8:50pm (40mins before close) and they wouldn't seat us. Workers in a rush to go home unfortunately.

Pho! This is the place to go in the 'Couve. The pho is traditional and tasty. The other dishes are just as yummy. The chicken and broccoli is savory. The wonton soup has crispy garlic on top that is the perfect garnish. There are lots of tables and they can easily accommodate a large group. The service is fast. You can get in and out of here for lunch with no worries of being late. The staff is friendly and attentive. The prices are reasonable. This restaurant is in a strip mall and there is ample parking. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Been coming here for years! Always very solid, affordable Vietnamese. The vermicelli noodle bowls as well as the pho and vermicelli soups are excellent, and portions are huge. Service is fast and friendly, and food never takes longer than 5 minutes to arrive after ordering. Minus one star due to it's unfortunate location and very uninspired interior (those Disney woodcuts???!) Definitely hit it up for a quick lunch (or in the morning after a long night!) read more

Good food and good prices! Service is fast and environment is peaceful. Selection on menu are plentiful so something for everyone here.

Wow shrimp fried rice! This was a huge portion and the shrimp were large and plentiful. Too garlicky for me but I'm definitely pleased with the quality. If you like garlic, you'll love this rice. $11.37 for a takeout order read more

So I have been here to this restaurant before and have had great food and this last visit I had great food, my review is the service and why I gave this place a 2 star. I always order Pho and thought I would order an appetizer and I thought the bo-bai rolls sounded good and I have never had those before so I googled them and sounded good. Well I get the appetizer and it's not put together, I guess I am supposed to put the appetizer together myself. I looked at my waiter and said to him "do I have to put this together?" And he said "yes". Ok I am up for something new but then he doesn't even tell me how to do this. There was these translucent round pieces of paper, the stuffing, peanut sauce, water. The waiter just walked away. I was a bit shocked and looked at everything and still didn't know what to do to I asked another waiter and graciously told me the step by step process and then my Pho shows up. If the waiter had just taken the time to tell me how I was to prepare this appetizer there would have been a much better review. Also they need to slow down on the delivery of food, I hadn't even taken my first bite of my appetizer and the Pho comes out. read more

This is definitely one of the "under-the-radar" places here in The 'Couve - which is saying something because all of Vancouver is "under-the-radar" when it comes to Yelp and food media exposure. Pluses: * Very Clean * Good Parking * Tasty - although I'll defer to other Yelpers for specifics as I am not a die hard Vietnamese foodie Negatives: * the owner/staff watching TV and changing the channel etc. in the front of house is bad form. read more

A really good place to eat. The pho is delicious. The service is great. Viet the server is very accomodating. This place is way better that Tan Tan Cafe on Mill Plain. They know how to treat and satisfy their customers. read more

I've tried the spicy pho and the wonton noodle soups. Both are very well prepared and richly satisfying! I especially like that completely different broths are used for beef pho and the other soups. Some places use just one broth and change the meat/veggies but not here. The service is not that friendly but it is efficient and fast. You can come here on your lunch break and be in and out within 35 minutes. read more

I love the veggie fried rice and salad roll. Not much selections for vegetarians. I almost wanted to try the soup but from reading past reviews, one yelper said that they were actually using beef broth for vegetarian soup so I didn't bother to try to be on the safe side. I will definitely come back here for the salad roll. read more

Upon entering any restaurant, one would expect a friendly greeting. If you are expecting that here, don't. I don't believe I saw a smile on the faces of any of the staff during the duration of our lunch. I love enjoying a steaming hot bowl of delicious soup on our cold PNW days and heard this place serves up a good bowl! Their wonton soup was just that. Delicious! However, I just cannot seem to get past the chilly reception I felt while eating there. read more

Nice family. Good pho. Great fresh spring rolls. Typical mom and pop vote lunch spot with tons of seating. I really like the fresh spring rolls and you can order four huge ones for $8 The old mom and pop who work there may not smile at you but they're sweet folks and sometimes if you go there late at night you can see them chilling with family and friends eating dinner. I like supporting restaurants like this. read more

I love salad rolls. The salad rolls here are 5 star plus! I have been coming back here for over 10 years because their salad rolls are the best in the Portland area!! I have tried salad rolls everywhere, none compare. I'm not sure why their salad rolls are so good. The only reason I cam imagine is the proportions of the ingredients are perfect. The rest of the menu is good too. Many of the dishes are heavy to a peanut flavor. If you have questions ask as they are very helpful in describing the dishes in detail. Order family style so you can share. One note: they don't take Discover card. read more

I came here with my dad who comes to this place all the time and loves it. I had a salad roll craving and my craving was more than satisfied! I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Vietnamese fix! read more

I went here based on the reviews and I'm sadly disappointed. Admittedly, I am an Asian food snob and I'll go for great food over great service any day. The place was clean which is a plus. The service was curt with very few words spoken which was fine with me though at least 1 smile from the wait staff would have been nice, even if it was a forced smile. It would have made my experience slightly better. Their salad rolls are the ONLY ones I've ever had that did not have the basil in it... big fail! The peanut sauce was very thin and lacked flavor though the meat the salad roll in it was a different twist, it wasn't enough for me recommend them. I had their large beef ball Pho and the broth was weak, the meatballs were cut in thirds which means they are cutting corners to make more of a profit. With soup, it's all about the broth... Another fail! I won't be back. I'll drive about a mile further down 4th Plain Blvd to another place that has much better Pho and salad rolls... read more

I stopped by for spring rolls and Bun Bo Hue. All of it was delicious...and authentic. You want Viet food, you get the real deal here! read more

Saigon Restaurant - Bun Bo hue... It was on point. Equally delicious and authentic. - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

First to be aware: the staff ignores you. But if that does not bother you, this is a decent place to eat. Pho is quite good, not many variety though. The carpeted floor is not very sanitary in general. I wish they have an easier to clean floor. read more

The best pho in Vancouver. I have been going here since I was 6 years old. The owners are very nice and the pho is always consistent.

LOVE this place!! My family and I come here as often as possible, and each time is better than the last! The price is decent, the staff is friendly, and the salad rolls, stir-fried eggplant, and crispy chicken with sweet and sour are delicious beyond words. Be careful talking/texting/writing reviews while in the restaurant, though. They don't like that so much. Lol read more

I just had the WORST meal here. Even the salad rolls were bad and they didn't get my order right. Staff is really rude. Never going back.

My dad took me here for lunch today, and as far as I know this is the first time I've ever had pho. My dad suggested the #20 for me, in a large size. He got the same, in a regular. We also had a regular sized order of salad rolls. The salad rolls were nice and fresh, so fresh the wraps stuck to each other when we tried to grab them. I thought it would have been nice had they come sliced in half, or if they don't cut them, to seal one end of the wrap so nothing falls out, but that's just me being picky. I thought the peanut dipping sauce was a bit bland, however, lacking the peanut flavor I love with salad rolls. The pho arrived, and when they put the big bowl in front of my dad, I wondered what I was in for. Thankfully, that was actually my meal. I was kind of surprised, that for only fifty extra cents my portion was nearly half again as much as my dad's. After dressing with Thai basil, cilantro, lime juice, bean sprouts, and Sriracha, I dug in. Holy wow, the flavor was amazing. I now know why my friends rave about pho so much! The thin rice noodles were nice and tender, and absorbed flavor from the broth. The different pieces of meat were tender and flavorful. I found a few pieces of cartilage and gristle, but that just means this is not stock from a can. I honestly can't believe I ate the whole thing! I'm going to make this place a regular addition to my Asian cuisine rotation. They've earned my business, and I can't wait to find out what more they have to offer on the dinner menu! read more

Went here first time tonight. Took over 25 minutes to get my food and when it came wasn't too impressed.

Hands down the best Tom kha soup I've ever had! Prices are very reasonable too! Never have to wait long for my food. read more

Saigon Restaurant - Tom kha with chicken and vegetables soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Fast lunch service. Service is friendly, but some limitations with language. Lunch menu is fairly limited, but I've heard they have much more on their dinner menu. Isn't offered though at lunch, so I can only hope there's more selection. The salad rolls and bean sprout soup is awesome, especially if you request spicy. Prices are reasonable too. It would be great if they had brown rice though! read more

This is hands down the worst pad thai I've ever had. I don't understand why the noodles were pink, somehow...? There was no flavor other than grease. The chicken was also pink from some sauce, I assume, and in these big chunks--not like the small pieces of at other Thai restaurants. Very generous portion, but just gross. Not sure why this place has good ratings. DON'T GET THE CHICKEN PAD THAI! Oh, and also, it was cold. read more

Really good food, and really good prices. The staff, as mentioned in previous reviews, "doesn't really engage in any extra niceties, but is always courteous." (And I think that sums it up nicely.) Lunch for under $7, and you can definitely make 2 lunches out of the fried rice. The vegetables are fresh, the food hot and flavorful. If you're near the area, definitely stop by. read more

Great customer service, fast and friendly! Awesome salad rolls, and pho! Everything is delicious read more

Good service, vegetarian options. I asked for vegetarian pho and was bomb. Came here twice for my 2 week stay in Vancouver

This was my first time eating at this restaurant. Crowded at lunch? Good sign! I had #24 pho and I almost licked the bowl clean! I look forward to the next visit. I hope I didn't creep anyone out spying on their choices... read more

My first time ordering from Saigon and it was a positive experience. Service was helpful and professional, the inside looks cleaner & more comfortable than the pictures give it credit for, and the portions were generous. The stir fried rice was really good. It gives off more of a neighbor-joint-feel, I wouldn't recommend it for a nicer date night. They had a massive tv on with AFHV playing. read more

Great food and great service are always the best combination. Had the pork chop special, the server made my rice fried rice for free. The meat was tender and juicy, large portions too. My buddy got Pho and loved it. read more

Fast & friendly. Very clean. Busy for a Wednesday night. Thai & pho in one place - awesome!!

The food was good, I had pho and spring rolls 10/10. But the customer service sucks here! A lady asked an employee if he could get her waiter and he told her to get up and tell him herself. I don't really come here often but when I do, it's always the same bad customer service. read more

I was treated to dinner for my birthday, and was blown away by the food and the staff. The portions are huge, and very tasty. I will return soon to try new things. Everybody was friendly and efficient, and made sure our visit was pleasant from the time we walked in to the time we left. Loved the peanut sauce! read more

Had an order of salad roll - Goi Cuon...not very tasty. The pork was not flavorful and the crepe wrapping was not fresh. The peanut sauce that goes with it also had a bad aftertaste and had an artificial flavor overall. Had Chicken Vermicelli. Chicken did not have very good flavor, but the fish sauce and noodles were good. read more

I really liked this place. They have a great selection on their menu. Plenty of authentic Vietnamese food and (not sure why) but Thai food also. I like the "Salad Rolls" which are actually Fresh Rolls. They could use a little more cilantro but they are a great value for your money. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Def coming back here again! read more

After a day of fun Holiday shopping my friend and I decided to swing by for an early dinner. The rundown: Pros: The shrimp and pork salad rolls are Fantastic. Vermicelli bowl was great too. Cons: In the Top 5 worst food service experiences that I've ever had. The older man rushed us, and hard rolled his eyes at me when I ordered the salad roll as a starter. My friend ordered Chicken Curry SOUP and he brought her peanut curry. If he would have checked back just once the mistake could have been taken care of. Wait. Wait. Wait. Then get your own check and ask for boxes for the food we didn't actually order. Paid. Left. And probably won't return. Plenty of great Vietnamese restaurants around with great food and good service. read more

This review is seriously 20 years overdue. This place is always packed for lunch and dinner, so it's no wonder that it's still in business after all these years. I've been coming here since I can remember as a kid, and the pho has been consistently delicious and satisfying. We come here at least once a month. While I wish the pho was still $5 a bowl, such is life with inflation. At $7.50 for a small bowl, it is still worth the taste and portion. The spring rolls and salad rolls are also delicious, and I highly recommend the House Fried Rice and Vietnamese Coffee. I would stay away from the Thai menu, though. After all, it is a Vietnamese restaurant. And yes, the service is at a bare minimum, but personally, I appreciate the no-fuss service and like to enjoy my food in peace and quiet. read more

I work nearby but had never eaten there but my coworkers have on numerous occasions. I had the salt and pepper shrimp. It was outstanding. Spicy, tastey and fresh. It was a simple dish with delicious shrimp as described by the dish with onion and jalopinia peppers with a side of rice. I will definitely be eating there again soon. read more
