I've been eating at Saigon88 for years and have tried just about everything on the menu. Some of my all-time favorites are the spicy ramen, onion soup, and pork spring rolls--they never disappoint. When I visited this weekend, the hood vent was unfortunately broken, so ramen and pho weren't available. Honestly, I didn't mind at all because I was in the mood for something different and ordered the pork rice bowl--and it was amazing. I also had a spicy tuna roll and a cucumber roll, both incredibly fresh and full of flavor. To top it off, I got a passion fruit tea with chewy and popping boba, which was absolutely delicious. There's plenty of parking available, and lots of seating inside, which makes it really convenient. I also appreciate that there are bins available so you can clean up after yourself. The staff are always so nice and friendly, which makes the experience even better. Even with the limited menu that day, the food and experience were still great. I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Wow, what a wonderful experience! The gentleman working behind the register greeted me immediately, and he was incredibly friendly and professional! It was very clean and tidy inside. The door was left open for fresh air to blow in, which I really loved to see! They have indoor seating and two outdoor tables. I decided to sit outside to enjoy the breeze and the gentleman kindly brought the food outdoors to me, which I greatly appreciated! The eel roll was incredible and easily the best I've ever had! The sushi ginger was delicious as well and seemed extremely fresh--no brown or discolored spots. The cucumber roll was also very yummy. Gosh I cannot wait to go back again, and to share this place with my loved ones! Excellent customer service and excellent food... what more could you ask for?! Thank you Saigon88 Express for providing such an amazing atmosphere as well amazing food! This is certainly a special place and I could see that from only visiting once. I'm very glad I stopped by! read more

Beautifully presented and tasting food from the Banh Mi to the sushi, with the only downside that apparently they are no longer able to sell Pho or Ramen, which is what I cane here for. That said, everything was still delicious and everyone working here was incredibly friendly and accommodating. read more

This place was incredible! I was craving a bahn mi, so I convinced some coworkers to come here on our lunch break. The man who took our orders at the counter was so kind and happy help us. Some of my coworkers weren't so familiar with Vietnamese food, and he helped them pick. I got the traditional bahn mi, and it was seriously the best one I've ever had. The bread was so fresh and it had this delicious sauce on it that brought it all together. The Thai tea was also one of the best I've ever had. It was so sweet and creamy, I had a hard time not sucking it all down in one sip. I almost forgot to take pictures of everything because I was so excited to eat it. This is a great spot for a quick lunch or to grab some take out because it is pretty small inside. The staff is so nice and the food is amazing! I highly highly highly recommend! read more

Saigon88 Express is right off of Interstate 79 down Steubenville Pike in a small strip mall. Plenty of parking which was nice. The food itself was just OK - the vegetables were all fresh, the flavor of the marinated pork was nice, and the portion size was plentiful. On the minus side, the noodles weren't cooked the best; in one part they were a large twisted clump. The jalapeño and red onion were chopped but not separated, leading me to pick them apart. Also they left two of the fatty end pieces of the pork in the bowl, which no one wants to eat. Service was ok. You pay before eating here. The gentleman who brought the food did offer choice between chopsticks or utensils, was very friendly and appreciative. After that though, no further check-ins from the staff, even to refill the water, which was empty about half way through the meal (FYI tipped 18% when I ordered). I could eat here again but not in a rush to do so. read more

Saigon88 Express - Vermicelli with pork - Vietnamese Near Me - Mckees Rocks, Pennsylvania

MY FAVORITE BOBA SPOT IN PITTSBURGH AREA!! There's also super delicious food, but I usually find myself here at least once every week or so for the boba and the cutest owners!! This spot is small, and it's always busy! But not too busy that you find yourself waiting forever. The workers are always hopping around very quickly doing everything to take care of everyone whether ordering they are ordering takeout, picking up online orders, or dining in! And pro tip: ALWAYS remember to get your boba card read more

Saigon88 Express - Vietnamese Near Me - Mckees Rocks, Pennsylvania

I love ramen and unfortunately this place doesn't really do it for me. The noodles are spaghetti noodles and they were so mushy. The pork was fatty and doesn't melt in your mouth like regular chashu should. The seeds in the jalapeño they gave me was rotted. I'm sure this would be great for someone that has never tried really good ramen before. The restaurant is in a strip plaza thing and has a lot of parking. There is nothing spectacular that is worth noting about the ambiance. Even though the restaurant is very small, we had to wait a while to get our food. We weren't offered refills or checked on after we got our food. read more

Amazing Tofu BahnMi! It feels healthy with all of the fresh veggies, but also decadent with the chewy crusty baguette. The owners and staff are always very friendly and efficient and the boba teas are delicious. I can't wait to come back again and try the tofu spring rolls! read more

Saigon88 Express serves authentic Vietnamese and other Asian foods. The menu lists foods such as edamame, bulgogi fries, salads, banh-mi sandwiches, pho and ramen soups, red curry, maki rolls, poke bowls, boba teas, etcetera. Please see my attached photos for the menu in August 2024. My husband and I ate one lunch here. Three employees very promptly and very kindly served us, and they checked in with us throughout our meal. Here are my ratings for our foods and beverages: Traditional Dac Biet Banh Mi - 4 stars - This sandwich was a large size. It contained pork, which is not my favorite meat, but it did taste good. It also contained fresh vegetables, some of which were pickled, and some spices. Pho beef - 5 stars - My husband ate this soup, and he described it as "very good." It was a huge size, and it contained beef broth, rice noodles, bean sprouts, basil, onions, cilantro, and jalapenos. Crispy dumplings - 5 stars - My husband ate this appetizer. Eight dumplings had a crispy exterior and a flavorful filling of pork and vegetables. On the side was duck sauce. Spicy Alaskan roll - 4.5 stars - This sushi roll contained shrimp tempura, crab, avocado, and cucumber and was topped with baked salmon. I do not think that this sushi roll tasted spicy, but it was very good. Honey-dew fruit tea with popping boba - 4.5 stars - This fruit tea had a refreshing flavor. Passionfruit tea with popping boba - 5 stars - My husband enjoyed this fruit tea. I would love to return to try additional menu items such as the bulgogi fries, ramen, red curry, and milk teas. read more

We've driven by so many times and finally planned our visit! A small, nondescript place with out of this world food!! Very limited seating. We got there right at 5:30 on a Friday, and by the time we got our food 10 min later, all the tables were full and the line was almost out the door. Plan to go early or get takeout! Friendly, kind service. I loved that there was sriracha, hoisin, and soy on the tables. We ordered 2 sushi rolls - the Angry Shrimp and a California roll! They are good! I got the chicken pho and my fiancé got the shrimp bang mi. He raved about the bread and just how fresh all the components were. The Pho was amazing and a huge portion. Can't wait to go back and try more things and get some boba! read more

Highly recommend this place during the winter! The staff is friendly and very welcoming. Today was my first experience, and i was greeted with enthusiasm and a smile. The food is amazing. I tried the chicken pho, it did not disappoint. The broth was light, yet flavorful. Definitely satisfactory and fulfilling. I even received a fruit tea on the house as a generous treat. The ambiance was cozy and embracing, decorated with many plants and a warm lighting. Im surprised not many people know about this place. read more

Saigon88 Express - Chicken PHO NOODLES SOUP, Fried Pork Dumpling - Vietnamese Near Me - Mckees Rocks, Pennsylvania

This small restaurant is absolutely amazing!!! I ordered salmon poke and it was MUCH better than at least 3 Pittsburgh poke places we've tried. The ingredients, as you can see, are very fresh, colorful and there's so many toppings included, most poke places only let you get a certain number of toppings. The manager was so kind, explained Asian history to us, including how chopsticks were invented and really was enthusiastic about his job. There was another customer at the time that personally thanked the manager for his dish! My sister also has heard rave reviews about this place so a lot of people know how good it is. The prices are good at $18 for a poke bowl. We've paid $20+ in yet past. The restaurant has some seating outside and a few booths inside. It's small but perfect for a quick delicious meal. My mom, sister and I are always looking for good places to eat at and this one is definitely one we will go to often. We stayed around 810 and they closed at 830 so when we left they closed up shop, don't be surprised if that happens and you don't get to place an order before closing time as we saw someone was turned away. What are you waiting for? Time to run into this place! read more

I am in love with this place! As reccouring customer, I want to start off by saying I have never once been disappointed with each and every visit, as much as that may sound like an exaggeration, it truly is not! My boyfriend and I truly enjoy this restaurant through and through. Coming in, there is a warm lively atmosphere in the air which feels fresh and inviting. I am greeted with a friendly and very accommodating staff. No matter the busyness, they greet with a smile. The seating and restaurant may be small with its always plentiful of customers, although despite that, they try their best to be swift and accommodating as possible making sure you get a seat within several minutes. The staff seems to cater to your needs without even having to ask at times! Atmosphere/Staff: 9/10 Now, with the food, Ive had Vietnamese cuisine several times in different places before.. let me say this spot's taste in flavors are phenomenal and outmatches any other spot Ive been to before! There is so much flavor and you can taste the passion the chef has for the food he makes in every dish he has served to us. We start off with the bulgogi fries as an appetizer as well as my favorite, Pho soup with extra beef. My boyfriend who comes with me, usually orders the pork Bahn mi which he is highly satisfied with, so much so he puts it as one of his top favorite sandwhiches. He even acclaims that the food can equal to how much he feels about his own mothers cooking which is a statement for sure! I even joked at the fact that if I had enough money I'd have this chef as my own personal chef one day! Haha. :) Food: 10/10 I also want to put that this restaurant isn't strictly Vietnamese but also serves a bit of Japanese cuisine as well! Sushi appears to look fresh just as much as the ingredient add-ins for the Pho. I've tried the Japanese Chicken Ramen and would say it is highly flavorful just a bit more than the Pho itself that already gives such satisfying and delicious flavors. I definitely recommend this spot, a great place here in robinson township. My boyfriend and I will hold this place in our hearts when we leave Pittsburgh. Thank you again for the food you've served. We are very grateful with each visit. :) read more

My boyfriend and i both agreed this was the best sushi we've ever had and we've tried a lot of sushi together, i got the Dynamite Roll and he got the california roll. both AMAZING! the rice was like so perfect and soft idk how to explain it, PERFECT read more

Saigon88 Express - Dynamite Roll, California Roll, FRUIT TEAS- Non dairy (low calorie) - Vietnamese Near Me - Mckees Rocks, Pennsylvania

+ The Bun (dac biet) was very good, very fresh and not too sweet, not too vinegary. ~ It was a takeout but it had a small dining area that was fine. - The Banh mi (pork) was dry, especially the bread and the meat was front loaded so I didn't get a good bite with all the ingredients. Seemed more like a hoagie roll than a French loaf. read more

Incredible service, very friendly! The best Pho and Spring Rolls around - no contest!

The coffee is good! Also the food is super fresh! The owners are so friendly and know customers by name. I got vegetable tofu spring rolls and veggie sushi and black coffee with coconut milk in it. When I order on the phone it's ready within 10 minutes! I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Ordered takeout from here. My order was ready when I came in to pick it up. The owners and staff are very friendly and smiling. The place is casual and cute inside.

Top tier service and top quality food. The dining area is small, but it seems like a lot of people do takeout. I ordered a hot honey ginger tea, the vermicelli bowl with pork, fried dumplings, and my friend had the spicy ramen. The tea was out in under 5 minutes, despite the decent sized crowd waiting for to go orders. The fried dumplings were out in under 10 minutes, and the ramen and vermicelli bowl weren't far behind. Everything was fresh and flavorful and every employee we interacted with was very friendly. I think you really get good quality for the price, here, and the staff makes it all the more enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend. read more

I ordered takeout to be delivered yesterday and was happy with the food I got. The portions were HUGE.

Good pho, beef was very tender. They also substituted half and half for condensed milk when I requested my Thai tea to be less sweet.

This location is in a small business area with limited parking. The inside is small with a few table but the flavor is huge. You place your order at the counter and the food came out quickly. Everyone who worked there was friendly and helpful. The pho was so good, the broth was exactly what I needed as the weather is getting cooler. I would definitely come back. read more

Saigon88 Express - Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Mckees Rocks, Pennsylvania

This place is one of our favorites and we will continue to return again and again. To note- They have tables for dine-in, but they are few, so we often order take out via the Beyond Menu app. The app always works without issue and includes great pictures and descriptions to help decision make. This time we enjoyed the Bun Vermicelli noodles with tofu, bulgogi fries with chicken, spicy tiger roll, a taro bubble tea, and refreshing limeade tea. We planned to share all of this but didn't even get to the sushi roll as the servings were so plentiful, we will enjoy the leftovers at a later time! Pro tip! Order a side of hoisin and sriracha. This is absolutely not needed because their flavors are incredible, but I enjoy the add on! read more

The best!! Food is delicious and fresh. Owners are so nice. I love going here. Recommend the spring rolls and the bahn mi.

A small space that is big on flavor! The menu is small(ish) but that ensures that everything is made to perfection. They have a large selection of bubble teas (and similar drinks). My kids love these so every visit we get some. One thing I wish they did better was explaining what the different types of options and add ins are. Once you decide your flavor, you pick your bubble style and flavor. I'm not a bubble tea aficionado so it was a little confusing what each of the options meant. There is a decent sized variety of sushi options. My son was ecstatic that his combo (sushi pieces and one roll) came served on a boat. The sushi was fresh and enjoyable. My daughter had a cucumber roll. Very basic, but still enjoyable. The reason I come is for the Vietnamese. I've tried basically all of the Vietnamese options. My favorite is the pork vermicelli. The portion size is generous, the pork is well seasoned and it is a good balance of ingredients. The pho is also great. Overall, a great little place with tasty food. read more

I had no idea this place even existed until my dad told me about it last night and I knew I had to try it, so I did! We decided to order take out and bring it home. The employee on the phone was very kind even with my questions. Each roll tasted extremely fresh and flavorful. I even asked for specific ingredients to be taken off of my roll, and they followed my directions perfectly. Many places do not do what I ask, so this was a huge plus! Each roll also looked very pretty as well. The boba teas were very tasty and included a lot of the boba balls. The best part is poking the straw through the plastic lid. All in all, I 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an above quality meal. I can not wait to try their other meals! read more

Stopped here on a whim. They are part of a small strip of businesses and have ample parking. We ordered first at the counter and then sat down. They had a few orders before us and sounded like good bit of to-go orders. Our son got an Bulgogo Fries appetizer that came out first. It was pork over French fries and cheese. It was amazing, like a Vietnamese poutine. He said he could of got just that as a meal. Later my husband and I shared the deluxe sushi. It came with a rainbow roll and various sashimi. The fish was very fresh and melted in our mouths. Our son got the ramen bowl with pork. It was a nice sized bowl. Needless to say he could not finish it and later shared with all of us. Again, it tasted amazing. We also got a taro boba milk tea. Excellent. The service was attentive and checked to make sure everything tasted good or if we needed anything. The ambiance was nice the restaurant faces the road. They have various potted plants. Can't wait to return. read more

This is my go to place when I visit Pittsburgh for business. It's pricier than most pho places but they definitely serve great pho. The owners are nice and they serve pretty fast. I always get their pho and summer rolls. Have not gone wrong yet. The place is clean and the veges are fresh. They also have a parking lot right outside off the road which makes it a easy place to drop by. read more
