    #23 and Shrimp Spring Roll.
    Mark G.

    I lived here 11 years ago and lived coming here. Today I was disappointed as the food wasn't as tasty and everything looked flat. The service was good, the waiter came around periodically to check on me and refill my drink if needed. I will have to say the spring rolls were huge! Two come to an order and I could have made a meal out of only them. The restaurant was clean, but the bathrooms could use some repairs. Overall, it will be another 11 years before I try this restaurant again.

    I stopped by for carry out one night after work - and it was super inconvenient. You can't pay over the phone, you have to walk in all the way to the back, and I still waited around fifteen minutes. I think, in these Covid times, that most places have adapted a better system so maybe I'm spoiled but dragging two kids in just to grab carry out and and still wait AFTER calling in an order, no thanks. The Pho was phenomenal, I'll say that much. The only other thing I ordered was a bubble tea - it was mostly big chunks of ice, so it was undrinkable. Staff seemed stressed and inconvenienced by our presence, to be honest. With so many great options in El Paso, not sure I'll be back - but if I do, it'll be just for the pho.

    It's been a minute since I've been to Saigon Taste, with all the new Vietnamese places opening up. I decided to try it as I was across the street at the optometrist, to cheer up the kiddos with some yummy food after our crummy experience. I saw an advertisement for Vietnamese Ragù as their new appetizer and knew I wanted to get it because Vietnamese Ragù is amazing on a rainy day. If you didn't know what it is, Vietnamese Ragù is borrowed from the French ragout, which refers to a well-seasoned meat and vegetable stew. It also means something that tastes so good that it reawakens your senses. The Italian term ragù (Bolognese sauce is a type of ragù) comes from the French ragout. Unfortunately it was sold out when I went, it's that popular. They did however have this new Vietnamese Menudo (best description of the dish I could think of) and specials on their beef pho ($8) and their BBQ chicken/pork banh mi ($5) and I couldn't resist ordering it alongside their pork stuffed fried eggplant. Their pho was as good as ever and they're generous with their meat portions. The kids devoured their bowls and said it was delicious! The eggplant dish was seasoned well, but much oiler than I'd like. The banh mi was delicious or so my husband said as I brought it back for him. I already knew as it was one of my favorite dishes at Saigon Taste alongside their banh khot. The Vietnamese Menudo was a revelation, it's intensely spiced like rojo menudo, but it's not spicy. The broth base is coconut water, so it has a much lighter flavor profile with notes of curry, cinnamon, anise, lemongrass, and bay. It's mildly sweet but with a complex assortment of southeast spices. The tripe itself is soft and unctuous, velvety in mouth feel. All the crevices and nooks absorb the broth and is intensely delicious. The best way to eat is with some bread and I dipped it in and sopped up all the flavors. Unfortunately I ordered too much and had to take a lot of it to go. But like menudo it tastes better longer it goes so I'm eating it for breakfast and it's amazing. I highly recommend it if you want to try something new and yet familiar. Don't forget about Saigon Taste, it's still one of the great Vietnamese restaurants in El Paso especially now with all the specials they're running. Come out and support local!

    Lemongrass Pork Belly.
    Travis D.

    I've driven past this place a hundred times. I'm definitely glad I stopped by. The ambiance is light and casual. The service was prompt and courteous. The food was absolutely amazing. Try the lemongrass pork belly!!

    Vietnamese crepe - The image shows a Vietnamese crepe, known as banh xeo, on a white square plate. It is golden-brown and folded in half, accompanied by fresh herbs like cilantro, shredded lettuce, and sliced green onions. A small cup of dark dipping sauce is placed nearby. The dish is served on a light-colored table surface, highlighting its traditional presentation with garnishes and condiments.

    Good food and lots of unique items! The ambiance is chill and service is good. Will come back if I'm craving it. :)

    Banh Xeo
    Lynn V.

    I have been searching so long for a good Viet place, and this probably the best contender in El Paso. Ambiance - Plenty of tables with nice decor on the walls. It's simple and everything you need. Food - I got the pho and banh xeo which were delicious. The broth was flavorful and the banh xeo was crunchy. I did wish that there was a bit more meat in the pho though. There were also other things on the mention I was pleasantly surprised to see. Overall, a good Viet place with things other than the standard pho and banh mi. As a Vietnamese person, this place makes me so excited and is definitely my new go-to place for Viet food.

    29. Charbroiled Chicken - The image shows a plate with grilled charbroiled chicken pieces, rice noodles, and fresh cilantro on top. There is a small cup of light broth or dipping sauce, and some shredded vegetables in the background. The dish is presented on a white plate, with a casual dining setting.

    Ive recently been encouraged to expand my pallet by some friends who love to indulge in a variety cuisines. Turns out Vietnamese food has some of my favorite dishes. I tried the Charbroiled Chicken (Bun Thit Ga Nuong) and it was delicious. The chicken was tender and marinated perfectly with a sweet glaze. The noodles and vegetables tied everything together perfectly. Best of all is how light this plate is. It's a perfect lunch option. I'll be returning to try other options.

    They used a thin noodle for Bun Bo Hue. And Pho broth as the broth. Don't get that when you come here, it's unacceptable.

    Nice try at Asian cuisine but it wasn't any good. Pho was pretty sad, service slow. And the other dishes ordered didn't look appealing.

    Wicked Pho

    Best pho in the area They have a wide variety of Thai and…read moreVietnamese dishes that makes this an ideal spot to please any indecisive people in your crew. We've been a few times with 4 people which is a great size to bring here. The waitresses are very kind and helpful. They make all their sauces in house and everything we've ordered has been great. I prefer it to the other Vietnamese spots in the area. I really enjoyed the spicy dishes. I wish they made things a little hotter but I understand not wanting to blow anyone's tastebuds out with spice. I will come back - can't wait to try the oxtail next time I'm in town.

    My wife and I were in the mood for some pho, or at least I was and after reading some reviews on…read moreYelp, we got this place up. We got there and were promptly seated and greeted by Salma, our server. Place wasn't crazy packed and the ambiance was nice. We started with the pork belly Spring rolls and they were delicious, fat and fresh and the peanut sauce was so good. I just added some chili sauce to the peanut sauce and it was perfect. My wife ordered the Chicken Rice Bowl and I ordered the All Meat Pho. My wife's plate arrived and it was a good sized portion and she said it was delicious. My pho arrived and it was a large bowl full of meat and the added bean sprouts, jalapeños and cilantro were just the touch needed. The broth was delicious, clean and very nice. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and plan on returning. Great service, great ambiance and decent prices, can't go wrong.
