My dad and I stopped here to grab dinner, and it definitely lived up to the hype. We got the Banh Mi and the Grilled Chicken Salad. The service was amazing! Everyone was friendly and we got our food quickly. The food was so fresh and the chicken was super juicy and flavorful. The tables are kind of narrow, so we found ourselves bumping each other's knees quite a few times while eating. I could see how that would be frustrating especially if you're on the tall side. Also, the bathroom was pretty dirty when I went. I wish they would be more attentive with cleaning it. We will happily return, but will probably do takeout when we do so! read more

I love this little Vietnamese spot. Cute, clean, and simple ambiance. Friendly and fast service. Delicious and fresh veggies cut well on the both the beef and tofu banh mihs. The fresh green tea with ginger and no added sugar was also very refreshing. Definitely becoming a regular! read more

Ordered the Pho and a Bahn Mi (both the tofu versions). Both were fantastic! Highly recommend a visit here - especially if you're new to Vietnamese food. read more

Saigon Xich Lo - Pho (with tofu) - Vietnamese Near Me - Grants Pass, Oregon

Pho broth was legit and the beef was nice; slightly larger bits than the usual super thin round eye steak. There were plenty of bean sprouts already added to the soup along with some basil and chopped jalapeno on the side. The noodles were cut so they were much shorter than traditional pho. I imagine this is the Americanized version making noodles easier to eat. They also provided forks ;-). Besides that, the pho was actually good. This hit the spot. The price was slightly high but the bowl of soup was large with plenty of beef. Yes the tables are sticky and should be wiped clean regularly. read more

One of my favorite places. I come here strictly for the Pho. The food never disappoints and the service is great.

Pho noodle soup was fresh and legit. Rapid service and nice staff Restaurant was small and clean. Authentic Vietnamese food and affordable prices certainly recommended read more

I've been coming here for a while and at first orders are good but I noticed over time they have heavily cut down on the meat provided in the pho order . So I probably won't be going back after this last time , I wanted to give the benefit of doubt. read more

Really poor service super slow and gave me a drink that was 90% ice and didnt have the courtesy to make it more than a few ounces of liquid when I asked. Can't believe a place that is so uncaring to customers can stay in business. read more

Super friendly and fast service. I ordered the children's chicken and rice and the salad rolls. Both were excellent. The portions are a good size! read more

The food was not what I expected. A lot of rice. Dry chicken. Just not appetizing to me. Presentation was horrible. No pictures, just disappointed. Service staff were not helpful. Just didn't explain very well what the dish was like. read more

Most everything went well. Great service, super nice and helpful, and excellent food. I love the beef and rice noodles and the spring rolls read more

We had a party of 5 and we all enjoyed our dinner at this restaurant tonight. Two of us are Vietnamese and they highly praised the authenticity of the food. The owner was very friendly. She gave us samples to try before we ordered the food. We finished all the yummy dishes we ordered and zero leftover. I love the salad, pho, and spring rolls. Would definitely dine at this restaurant if I come here again. read more

Saigon Xich Lo - Menu - Vietnamese Near Me - Grants Pass, Oregon

Food is not that great. Got some Pho to go and the bag of veggies were all brown and cilantro was black. Lemongrass beef left alot to be desired. Small portions and taste quality is just lacking. For it being the ONLY Pho place in town you would think they'd try harder.. read more

I guess I'm spoiled being from San Jose. There are many Vietnamese options there and a whole section of the city named Little Saigon. That being said perhaps I expected too much. I ordered Gui Con ( fresh spring roll) with shrimp. I'm use to having 3 large shrimp (prawn sized?) in my rolls. These shrimp were disappointingly small. Also the roll had maybe shredded cabbage? Something that I also wasn't use to. And then there was the dipping sauce. It was almost a paste in consistency. Not good at all. With my 2 orders of spring roll I also had an iced tea. I asked for a refill and was charged an additional $2. Oh but just a refill NO ICE. it's was a warm day hence the ICED tea. I actually had to ask the young server for more ice. She questioned if I really wanted more ice. I was not happy. Poor quality food. Charges for a refill Acted as if they were inconvenienced by serving me more ice. I left half my food on the table and left. I will not be going back. They have to do better on all fronts. read more

Update: It's been well over a week, and there has been no response from the manager/owner. I'm disappointed that they didn't even try to make this right. Moving to GP in April & will not patronize this very basic establishment again. They believe they can give poor service with no consequences bc there aren't many other options, but in any other city, this type of service, or lack there of, would be unacceptable. Visting GP & was recommended this place. I called ahead of time for my order, arrived 20 mins later, & still had to wait, but that wasn't the worst part. The guys there forgot to add the chicken to our salad & noodles. Drove 20 mins home only to discover their mistake. I called to let them know only to have the gal giggle through the entire conversation. Sadly, I wasn't amused when my bill was over $50 + $10 tip. No return call from the manager/owner with an apology or offer to replace our meals. Needless to say, it was disappointing at best & I won't be returning. read more

We came for the pho. The first impression was the tables were not clean. You bus your dishes and it appeared no one had wiped off the tables. I ordered the beef pho, my wife the chicken. The choices are limited. No brisket, flank or soft tendon. Just beef. The side was only one lime section and jalapeños. No basil or soy beans. The pho broth was okay. The noodles were cut making it difficult to scoop up. No chop sticks. Just spoon and fork. My wife's chicken was overcooked. Her broth flavor was okay. Overall, not a great pho experience. read more

Totally legit spot. Owner came out and explained the entire menu which was nice. Food was all excellent and flavors are on point. Basically it's more of a few specialty dishes then a decked out menu but really good banh mi's and I did the pho ga with grilled chicken (not typical) but really good flavor and broth was very flavorful and exactly what I was hoping for. read more

This seems to be a family run business. The food is very good, not overly seasoned, but tasty. The broth for pho noodles has so much depth with different spices. The place is very clean too read more

Love everything I've tried so far, especially the Pho ! I like that you order at the register and then get service at the table. Makes it a bit quicker for lunch. All service has been friendly and helpful. read more

Definitely the best Vietnamese food I have found anywhere in the Rogue Valley. It's a little expensive for what I am used to, but the flavor is amazing! Small interior, order at the window and they bring it out. read more

Food is very fresh, made to order and yummy. I had the Banh MI. Small place and some tables are very narrow and you might bump knees with the person facing you. read more

Great food and service from Landon! I really appreciate all of the staff that make this one of my favorite restaurants in Grants Pass! It was a nice and quiet place to have dinner! read more

The food is excellent however, I ordered the salad roll, it was wrapped in rice paper which was sticky, it was served to me in a brown paper box with no parchment paper or wax paper so when I picked each piece up to eat it well you guessed it the rolls stuck to the box and tore the box which picked up the paper, maybe this business can add wax paper to the bottom of the box read more

Food is super Tasty, especially the "Pho" - flavors they build in their broth is soooooo good ! Owners are Awesome, Friendly & just Genuinely nice Peeps support your local business, you won't be disappointed! read more

The soup was great, just as good as in California. Not much condiments to go with it. A bit pricey for portion, but it is very far from major Asian community, so I can understand. read more

The bahn mi sandwich here is delicious! Chicken or beef are both fantastic. Rivals all the great bahn mi I've had in big cities. Friendly service, too. Highly recommend. read more

Corner cutting central. Pho with beef: Only 7 main menu items (written on a chalk board). No shrimp spring rolls. Pho broth was rich and umami laden. The best part of the meal and I appreciate that sugar was not added... a US pracice in most asian restaurants these days. Traditional Pho is served with a side plate of veggies: bean sprouts, basil, cilantro or dandelion, lime & sliced hot pepper. This place had a tiny side cup of a 1/8th lime wedge and sliced peppers. A small smount of basil strips were in the soup (maybe 2 leaves worth). That's it. Rice noodles were overcooked and mushy. They had also been broken in half prior to cooking. They were so small that you couldn't twirl them. I had to resort to scooping. Beef was ample, tasty and medium tender. $16.50. A bit high IMHO. Oh, no tendon available. Atmosphere was barren, stark and a bit chilly. Uncomfortable utilitarian wooden chairs. read more

Great Vietnamese food here locally. My favorites are the # 1 and 3. You won't be disappointed with the quality of their food.

Best sandwiches in the valley and wonderful people. I've had many different items and loved them all. read more

Beef pho was below mid. Lacking flavor and broth was warm not hot. Doesn't have your traditional beef cuts like tendon or brisket.

Absolutely Great food! We have Been stopping in here for years when traveling through Grants Pass.

Amazing food! I had the grilled chicken over rice noodles. It was delicious, well seasoned and very fresh. I've heard their pho is excellent but it was 102 degrees and not a soup day for me. read more

What looks to be a converted auto garage, or gas station at one point or another has been turned into a wonderful gem of a restaurant tucked right into the heart of Grants Pass. Who would have thought that a wonderful Pho place was right here. I went with a work friend as we were on our way back from a project in Cole River. As we entered your immediately hit with the smell of fantastic far east scents. We ordered pho each of us and also a Bon Mi sandwich that we split between us. A combination plate would be something that would be an awesome menu item. The food came out quite quickly, easily within less than 10 mins. The Bon Mi was to be expected, with fantastic French bread pickled veggies and this particular Bon Mi with their chicken offering. Then out came the Pho which was a fantastic representation and everything you would want from a good pho place. Full of flavor, with the adders of cilantro and basil. Easily one of the best pho experiences I have had in some time. Almost worth the 2+ hour drive to get it from my work location. OK, maybe not that far, but it certainly is worth the stop. Anytime you find yourself in Grants Pass and a hankering for Pho, you will need to stop in and give this place a try! read more

I am mot sure where all of the good reviews are coming from. This is not good Vietnamese food. It was about what you'd expect at a outdoor river front food stand. The ingredients were gross congealed mass--had to ask for napkins and were given paper napkins. Food was served on paper plates. They charge the price you'd expect at a nicer sit down restaurant but this was a bad experience. read more

We got 1 chicken and 1 beef Banh Mi. They were good sandwiches, but not the best I've ever had. The chicken was a curried chicken which was good, but not what I was expecting nor was it advertised as such. We both thought the beef was much better. The bread was delicious, but both sandwiches were missing/needing some pickled daikon radishes. I'd eat it again as it's a good sandwich. My issue with it was that it's just ok when compared to other Banh Mi's. read more

Went in on a Saturday night to order takeout. The girl was nice enough at the register. I was the only one there. Noticed they stopped selling salad rolls due to lack of supplies which was disappointing to see. I ordered the #7 with 3 proteins. Beef, chicken and shrimp. What I was given was very old & discolored, jerky like texture proteins in a bowl. Also the peanut sauce was extremely watered down with zero flavor. Nothing about this dish tasted or even looked fresh. I was afraid to eat it once I saw how old the proteins looked so I just tossed it. I don't think I will be going back. This dish also cost $20.... read more
