This was take out, in store staff was helpful and polite. Open kitchen. The food was timely. Upon arrival home, it was nicely packaged. The portion was generous. A nice full bowl like I was back in Vietnam all over again. This is 1 of 2 places I've had pho that felt like Vietnam to me. The pho was delicious. I was only missing one herb and I think it's not very easy to get that one here. Overall, satisfied. Will order down here again. read more

We got the fried spring rolls (there's 4 decent sized rolls), summer rolls, and the pork shoulder banh mi. The banh mi isn't traditional like with pate but the meat is SO flavorful!!! I like the spicy sauce as well. The bread isn't super crispy like traditional banh mi but it is still fresh and delicious. I enjoyed the fried spring rolls and banh mi - would come back! We got pick up and it was ready right on time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are no seats inside, this is a grab and go place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Price is very reasonable. read more

Wow. Huge sandwich with a lot of tender meat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]No seating inside, it's an order to go only with a takeout window.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came here for their lemongrass pork shoulder and their Bbq Pork. They stuffed both sandwiches and had lots of pickled veggie. I wish they used the traditional French baguette and not the torta bread instead. read more

Absolutely worth the hype. We ordered the marinated chicken thigh bánh mì and the marinated pork bánh mì, and both were packed with flavor. The chicken was easily a 10/10 -- perfectly balanced between spicy and sweet, super juicy, with incredibly fresh ingredients and an amazing sauce that tied everything together. The pork was also excellent at an 8.5/10, flavorful and well-marinated with a great texture. The bread had that perfect crisp outside and soft inside combo that makes a bánh mì so satisfying. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. read more

Had the lemongrass pork shoulder banh mi. These guys do a fusion thing - I totally get localizing it by using torta bread and adding jalapeño but that is not for me, I love old school pate, white radish alongside the pickled carrots, and baguette. But the grilled pork is incredibly delicious and plentiful, and they're super nice. Hanco's in Brooklyn is still my gold standard but who knows if they'll ever get to Manhattan! read more

HUGE banh mis (lasted me two meals) and way better than the crap that's available downtown... lol. The bread is soft with just the right amount of crisp on the outside, and the lemongrass pork was packed with flavor. They were very generous with the quantity of meat. read more

I got the shrimp sandwich and am still thinking about it years later. I'm from the west coast and am constantly looking for something to compare and nothing ever does. Next time I'm in New York I'm no doubt coming here and getting that again. read more

This is probably one of the best Banh Mi's I've ever had. And I've had a lot!!! The sandwich was PACKED with meat that was juicy and flavorful.

This bahn mi was sooo tasty. I was at a bar close by and it was the perfect takeaway meal. It was fast, nice person taking the order, good service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small place.

Holy cow! This place has been on my list to try for a while and I finally made it this week. I'm so made I waited as long as I did to try it. I got the lemon grass pork banh mi sandwich and it was PERFECT! The meat was so tender and flavorful. All the sandwich toppings were so fresh. Huge portion for the price too! Will definitely be back! read more

Amazing Vietnamese spot (takeout only). Grabbed lunch with a friend on a weekday and there was no line. Lemongrass roast pork bahn mi was perfect, and the sticky rice and red curry chicken pouch was also excellent. Definitely recommended for delicious bahn mi in the area! read more

I wasn't expecting much for such a tiny shop I found while in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's no place to sit but that wasn't a problem!! The park is 4 blocks down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bread was so flaky and the breaded chicken was so perfectly fried. I honestly could not be more happy about how my sandwich turned out!! It's one of those happy accident discoveries that end up becoming a favorite. I'm going to come back with a friend!! And this was a 30 min commute from my neighborhood so that's saying something read more

I ordered from this place 2 years ago and I remembered the food was good. But this time sadly, the quality has changed, the Vietnamese sandwich was not like I pictured it. It didn't come with the French baguette but it was like a bun. I also ordered the spring roll and the meat inside the roll was so dried. :( read more

Best pork bahn mi I've ever had!!! Big serving too - enough for two people. We shared the lemongrass one, so so good.

I loved this sandwich! I've eaten a lot of banh mi sandwiches and this ranks really high on my list. New York isn't exactly known for good Vietnamese food, so finding one is always a pleasant surprise. For the location and amount of food, it's a decent price. I ordered the lemongrass pork banh mi with all the toppings and it just hit every note. It's made a bit differently from a traditional banh mi (no butter and pate), but the spicy mayo worked well! The meat was flavorful and tender, the pickled veggies added a good brightness, and the bread was soft (in a good way). There are no complaints from me and Saiguette is worth the trip this far uptown! read more

Still the best bahn mi in NYC! Had the roast pork bahn mi again which was huge! Definitely generous portion of roast pork-eclipses the veggies but I'm not complaining.

This is a small to-go Vietnamese pho/banh mi shop. The food is authentic and delicious. Sometimes the portions vary but usually it is substantial. Some items have gotten smaller over time, like spring rolls and banh mi, but the taste is still good. Pho broth is good and I like that you can get tripe and tendon. Had my first banh mi in 2019 and I'm still going back for more. Glad they are in the neighborhood. read more

Gentrified version of the Banh Mi. The meat (lemongrass pork) was extremely tender + they're pretty thick pieces as well. Would recommend checking it out if you're in the area. Aside from the food, service was fast and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even though there's no seating, it was a nice opportunity to sit and eat in Central Park.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall Rating: 8/10 Taste Rating: 7.5/10 read more

Probably one of the best Been trying all different places and have yet to eat anything better Even the spare rib is amazingly good read more

I love this little takeout only shop in the UWS. It reminds me of cheap Chinese eats that are grab and go but it's Vietnamese. I feel like the prices don't technically categorize it as part of that type of restaurants, but regardless the food is always pretty solid. Came on a weekend and even though there was a party of 10 people before us who had just ordered, our food came out within 10 minutes which is great. Pro-tip: Grab the food and head over to Central Park for a beautiful lunch in the park. I got the Roasted Pork Shoulder Banh Mi and the portion sizes were huge. Honestly I could eat this sandwich for two meals due to the amount of meat they gave you. The pork itself is incredibly tender and flavorful and I love the slight charred taste on it. I also liked the other veggies they had on it as well although I wish that the vegetables were slightly more pickled to counteract the meatiness of the pork. Overall, not a bad cheap eat on UWS and will definitely be back for more. read more

Saiguette - Roasted Pork Shoulder Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Manhattan, New York

I've gotten food here twice, and all flavors are sooo yummy and strong. I've had the pho with meatballs and brisket, the pork banh mi, the beef stew with udon. The portions are pretty good, along with the price. Definitely recommend this spot. I've ordered ahead of time online and it's been ready on time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is no seating, only takeout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Liked that you can order online and come for pickup. I had the roast pork banh mi, it was delicious and they definitely don't skimp on the meat portions. I also got a taro bun that was so nice and fluffy, really like this spot! read more

Came here late Sunday afternoon. I was actually in the mood for a bahn mi sandwich and found this spot via Yelp. I read the reviews and saw the pictures and decided to try this spot out. This is a takeout spot and once I entered, I placed my order at the counter. I got the lemongrass pork bahn mi sandwich ($12) and my friend got the lemongrass pork shoulder with rice ($17). The sandwich was so good! Very tasty, sweet and packed with meat. One of the best bahn mi sandwiches I have had. If you're in the mood for bahn mi sandwich or really good Vietnamese food, this is the spot! * takeout only * order in advance * street parking read more

In the time since my last review this spot has become a staple! Their pho and lemongrass pork are standouts. A great value and reliable spot for a delicious takeout meal read more

Saiguette - Beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Manhattan, New York

Great pick up only spot. Ordering online is most convenient. Food is ready in 15-20 minutes and pick up is quick. There are a few weird actors in this area which obviously is not the fault of this little shop that doesn't allow people inside anyway so just be aware of that but if you're just picking up here it should be harmless. I've gotten banh mi, pho, vermicelli bowls here and they're generally good. The food is packed tightly and is quite good value. The first time I got pho here it was soo good but not nearly as good the second time and I'm not sure why. I dropped a star for lack of consistency. Overall though a good spot to have in the neighborhood. read more

We got pho here last night and honestly considering they only do take out, it's pretty solid. The portion size is what you expect and the broth is flavorful. It wasn't amazing but definitely hit the pho craving for me. The base pho bowl with steak & brisket is $17 so it's on the cheaper end for pho in the city too. The service is really quick too, my order only took 10 mins. I would go back again! read more

So good. Quick walk to the park. Slammed it all in one sitting. Would definitely go again! read more

Saiguette - Roast pork - Vietnamese Near Me - Manhattan, New York

Another easy 5! Take out only vietnamese restaurant and the banh mi was one of the best I've had. They had a lunchtime discount too so my banh mi came out to only about $12. Plus, it was huge! Absolutely amazing. Service was great, and the whole point is to grab a sandwich and go to central park two streets down and enjoy a nice day. Will definitely be back. read more

Wow! I had this place bookmarked for a while, but since it was kind of out of the way for me, I never had the chance to visit until recently. I will definitely be back very soon! I recommend making an order online to reduce the waiting time. There were already large orders in front of me when I arrived 30 minutes after opening. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's no seating area inside, so you'll have to wait outside for your order since the inside waiting area can only fit 3 people max.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the pork belly and pork shoulder banh mi. The meat is sooo tender and flavorful. They cook the meat on a fire grill, so there's a nice char on the meat as well. Both proteins were good, but I prefer the pork belly because the fat amplifies the flavor more. They charge extra to have the veggies on the side ($.50), but I recommend it so your sandwich doesn't get soggy. The bread is also soft here, which I like. Other places use bread that's a little harder and it ends up scraping the roof of my mouth, but no issues here. You can ask for the bread to be toasted too. I also got an order of the nem (egg rolls) and it was sooo good. The order came out perfectly crispy and not too oily. It came with more pieces than I thought, so it was a nice start to the meal. The fish sauce is really good too - not too fishy or tangy like other places and paired nicely with the nem. Probably the best banh mi I had in NYC, so I'm looking forward to trying other menu items. They also have a lunch special during the weekdays, so I'll be back for that soon! read more

Definitely would recommend this place! They make the food rather quickly, and it's quite affordable for what it is (not the cheapest banh mi that I've ever had, but for NY, it's a good price). I think it's best to order ahead of time anyway, and they do have delivery services via their own, or any of the popular ones. Would definitely recommend any of the banh mi (the sandwich), but the classic with pâté is my favorite. As for the rice dishes, I like the chicken rice plate. The pork isn't as good but I'd still order it again. Overall, it's become one of my go-to quick meals when I want some quick, cheap, authentic Asian food. read more

So, I left the grumpy review below like 9 years ago. After living in New York for a bit, the prices don't shock me and I'm able to appreciate Saiguette for their convenience and nice flavors.

Such good pho ! Ordered here twice before through uber eats and I am always so satisfied with my order. I love pho I think it is one of the most and best comfort meals ever for all kinds of weather. Today was such a rainy day and I was craving a nice warm soup and pho is my go to. This pho brings me back to life every time. The amount of pho you get it's perfect super filling and the broth is done to perfection not too sweet not too light it's perfect you get such a good amount of beef and noodles and everything they give you on the side to add is package perfectly so you can customize it to your liking. There's not one bad thing I can say about this pho spot because they've become my go to now. 100/10 read more

A very nice Vietnamese meal. It was crowded but we didn't wait long before being seated. We ordered the grilled pork banh mi and grilled chicken bun. The service was fast and pleasant. Good flavors in both meals. The bun had an abundance of nicely marinated grilled chicken as did the banh mi. The chicken was tender. The pork slices could have been sliced thinner but that's a minor thing. Nice meal. read more
