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!

Pork Vermicelli Bowl

I ordered the pork vermicelli bowl with no peanuts. It's a really refreshing meal and the meat has lots of flavor - I enjoyed the crunchy cucumber and pickled onions. The service was quick and the waitress was very friendly. The interior is pretty small but there is plenty of seating.

I love this restaurant. I went a few months ago when their hood was broken so they couldn't do soups. I was very excited this time to go and see that they were able to do soups again. The restaurant smelled like delicious pho broth when I walked in. I had already ordered my banh mi sandwiches online before coming to pick them up, or I would've added an order of pho. I will be excited to come back for to try it next time. The traditional style banh mis are so flavorful and delicious. The veggies give the sandwich such a nice crunch. The staff here is always so kind and helpful. It is super small inside with only a few dine in tables, but it never seems to be too crowded inside. It wouldn't be too hard to find a seat if you wanted.

Decided to try this modest place before a Monday night concert at the Roxian. It was a little under 15 mins away and we hadn't had Vietnamese in quite some time. You order at the counter and then take a seat with a number. We were the only ones there, but several others came in a bit after us. There was plenty of seating. It's super casual. We started with really tasty summer rolls. They were wrapped perfectly, and I love when you can taste the fresh herbs in a summer roll when you first bite into it. The shrimp option was quite good. The peanut sauce was ok. It did not seem homemade. We both ordered the vermicelli bowl. I ordered shrimp; my husband the pork. Mine was far better. I thought the pork was overcooked. We're spoiled though. A place back in DC pounds out the pork really thin and has the most amazing sauce on it. This place has small bits that are quite cooked. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, though, and had some kind of sauce on it. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the fish sauce mixture - quite flavorful. Overall, the meal was good and quite healthy. We were pleased and would consider returning if we have another concert over that way. It really is a good desert around the Roxian!

Vermicelli with pork

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.

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

BANHMI-Sandwich, Original & Milk Tea

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 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.

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.

They don't open until 4, but you can place orders online hours before then. Picked up food around 4:20. By time we got home, the fish maintained its crispness. I was actually quite impressed with how well it was prepared. Nice and flaky but didn't fall apart. The bun it comes on is well proportion with the fish. The only thing I could've went without, was the macaroni salad topped on the fish. However, the food here never disappoints. I'll be back.

Portion sizes? Adorable! They must've switched to the "Toddler Menu" when I wasn't looking. And the crew my god, the crew. Every single employee behind the counter was an imported worker, clearly flown in on the "We Refuse to Pay Americans" visa program. Not one local soul in sight! They were polite in that dead-eyed, soul-crushed way you get when your paycheck wouldn't cover a Happy Meal. Orders wrong? Naturally. Enthusiasm? Zero. It's like they hired a call center to assemble subs. Pro tip: if your wages are so insulting that nobody in a 50-mile radius will take the job, maybe, just maybe, pay people enough to live. Nah, too logical. Firehouse Subs: now proudly serving budget bin sadness in a firefighter hat. 10/10 for cost-cutting, 0/10 for literally everything else. Avoid unless you hate flavor and joy.

What an improvement over the tiny little order-at-the-counter spot with the free wine and rickety folding chairs! The food was good before, and it's still good, but the place is now a full service, upstairs-downstairs cozy spot. We had fried pickles, a sunshine salad (as a side salad), and a couple of hot dogs--the bacon dog and the Picklesburgh dog. Pickles were a tiny bit greasy but crunchy and substantial. The side salad was absolutely delicious with lots of textures and crunch, both acidic and a little sweet all at the same time. I would order it as a dinner salad for sure. I didn't try the bacon dog, but my husband liked it. The Picklesburgh dog was a delicious mess--truly, it was so messy--but it was crunchy and salty and briny, and totally worth ordering next time I'm in the mood for a dog. I shouldn't have waited so long to go back to Brick and Mortar; I'm glad we finally checked it out.
