    Thai Tea
    Sierra D.

    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!

    Vermicelli with pork
    Michael B.

    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.

    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

    I love Saigon 88 express. They have amazing pho but my most recent trying of their poke bowls are excellent

    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.

    2024 menu of appetizers, soups, maki rolls, poke, etc.
    Tiffany Y.

    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.

    The best delicious Pho & Summer Rolls. Wish I lived here! Very friendly staff. Great prices.

    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!

    Oliver S.

    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.

    SALMON POKE BOWL
    Lizzie D.

    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!

My husband and I visited this particular DiBella's Subs in Robinson Township one time. Menu items include submarine sandwiches (e.g., salami, ham, turkey, corned beef, tuna, roast beef, capicola, chicken, cheesesteak, meatball, and veggie), salads (e.g., pasta, macaroni, and potato), and cookies (e.g., chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin). For lunch my husband ordered a 10-inch grilled chicken Philly sandwich. After he paid and had his receipt, an employee asked him if he had ordered a different sub, and he corrected her, and then she dishonestly told another employee that he had "changed" his mind. After many minutes, an employee handed him the correct sandwich. Including tax and tip, it cost about $16. The restaurant contained many tables and chairs, but we got the sandwich as takeout. My husband said that he liked the taste of his grilled chicken Philly sandwich.

We ordered 2 sandwiches at 6:10 PM, the wait was a little longer than anticipated and was ready at 7:00 pm. It smelled mildly "fishy" but it is fish after all. First impression, it did not appear as advertised. It was missing the sauce and lettuce pictured on the website. I took three bites and unfortunately, the fish was hard. It seemed over cooked which may have contributed to the time it took to receive it. The grease also tasted old. The Mac on top was again, overcooked. The French fries were cooked well, but they had so much old bay seasoning and salt it was difficult to eat. I wish this were unique to my order, but I was dinning with three others, all ordering the same thing, and we all had the same complaints. I did request to speak with someone in the kitchen but they said they didn't have time as they were quite busy. The brewery was full and outside seating was also starting to fill so that is understandable. The bartender at strange roots had us write our names on a piece of paper and said the kitchen will refund the meals. I contemplated ordering a burger instead but didn't want to wait again so we did leave to dine elsewhere.
