This is a hidden little Springtown Gem! Always my favorite week night and weekend pick up. Family style food, pho that's full of nutrients. Also the family go to when we are sick. Imperial rolls, combo beef pho, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and chow mein are a few of our families go to. Never had a bad thing, reminds me of being in childhood friends home for sitting around the table enjoying a meal. No frills, home dining room kind of vibe. And most importantly really good food!! You can feel the love that is poured into it. read more

Sai's was my go-to place for lunch when I worked in Livermore. Luckily, I survived my years of servitude and retired in January of 2020. Every now and then, my wife and I still make the pilgrimage to Sai's to see our friends and enjoy a meal. This night we ordered: Asparagus Prawns - 5 - When the ingredients are fresh and you know what you're doing, the resulting dishes will be delicious. My wife is particular about her asparagus, too skinny is not acceptable. It has to be medium to fat, and of course, not woody. I'm more particular about my prawns. I can't stand overcooked seafood! Bitter Melon Chicken - 5 - Bitter Melon can be soaked in water to remove some of the bitterness before cooking. Then you want to cook it so it's no longer crunchy but not so much that it's mushy. Sai's always does a great job with it when it's in season. Oyster Pancakes - 4 - A slight downgrade because of the size of the oysters. Maybe I'm simply greedy but I want more! On the other hand, the egg was well seasoned, tasty and not overcooked. Sesame Balls - 5 - These were fried a little darker than usual but that just makes the sesame flavor pop! A great way to finish off a meal here at Sai's. read more

Loved the food and the waiter was awesome if looking for awesome Asian food in the Livermore area go here

Service was attentive, Fang was excellent! Very good combination chow mein, fair shrimp appetizer.

So happy we were in town so we could visit our favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the Tri Valley. The owner, Fong, and her husband are quite the duo! Food is consistently delicious, fresh, and served piping hot. Our all-time favorite dish is the basil chicken over rice. I have not found this dish tasting like this elsewhere and I often crave it. We decided to of course order this dish along with a vermicelli bowl with pork and imperial rolls. The vermicelli bowl (aka bun) is a lovely combination of umami-rich flavors from the protein, rice noodles, lettuce and other veggies. There is a light sauce that you can pour over the dish, as much or as little as you prefer. The egg rolls and grilled pork round out this dish nicely. The basil chicken, as anticipated, was incredibly delicious with a nice subtle heat. What a wonderful meal. Fong is friendly, courteous and so hard working. She wants to ensure you have a nice dining experience. I appreciate that she will come over to chat when she's not too busy. We always try to visit this restaurant when we are in town. Can't wait for our next visit! read more

I've been coming here for many years and love everything on the menu. They are always accommodating to make my entrees SPICY :). The staff is super friendly and it's always clean inside. My top favorite items are: Clay Pot Chinese Broccoli (in chow fun or by itself) but always spicy. Ong Choy Curry Pho read more

Ordered the Tofu with Three Kinds of Mushrooms, which came with rice, and a bowl of Hot and Sour Soup. Love supporting local mom-and-pop spots like this. There's plenty of seating to dine in or takeout service. The food is always consistent, and the service is excellent. My server was very kind and friendly--definitely a place worth coming back to. read more

I wish I took a picture but the food was so good we ate it all lol the highlight dish was the salt and pepper fish! The owners are very nice and checked up multiple times during our dinner. The restaurant vibes and atmosphere reminds you of the Asian Vietnam culture and it is really clean. read more

I like this place more with each visit. It's a hidden gem with an excellent chef who really knows how to make flavorful, outstanding food! It seems more Chinese than Vietnamese but maybe we just need to try more dishes! We had the beef chow fun - (juicy with beef and beefy sauce) and the Chinese broccoli special with ginger and garlic. It's sliced vertically upwards through the stem which ensures tenderness. I didn't want to stop eating it! Pot stickers were nice and hot. We've had the spring rolls, which are good. Large portions to share. Two dishes and an appetizer give us leftovers. It's a rather plain café, nothing fancy about the ambiance . But you go for the delicious food! The servers are very congenial and attentive. Parking is convenient and adequate. We'll be regulars for sure. read more

I've been coming here for over 8 years, and the food is amazing. They have such a comforting ambience, and the lady that works there is so friendly and continuously checks to make sure everything is perfect! Super friendly staff and amazing food, come here !!! read more

Love this place! Ordered pick up today, and so good even when it gets home. Salt and pepper fish, imperial rolls, Mongolian beef and beef chow fun! Btw they cut holes in the box for the salt and pepper fish so it's stays crispy!!! read more

Sai's T Restaurant - Salt and pepper fish, Fried Imperial Rolls, Mongolian Beef, 97. Beef Chow Fun - Vietnamese Near Me - Livermore, California

Their pho is made with powder, not authentic beef broth. Although the rice noodle was silky, the broth was warm and not sizzling hot as it should have been. Their beef chow fun was fresh, and tasted great, however, my party and I were severely disappointed with the pho, therefore, we wil not be returning. read more

Sai'sT is one of my favorite restaurants in Livermore! If I want Asian food I'm headed there for sure. Their Orange chicken is fabulous and I love their fried rice. My friend and I always try a different appetizer to share but we both agree their chicken wings are the very best! They always have a ton of special dishes and the waitress we always get is wonderful! It's a small place and not very fancy but that just makes it more comfortable for me. Give it a try. I don't think you'll be sorry. I'm pretty sure you'll be a regular customer instead! That's what happened to me! read more

Great food, friendly restaurant. The hostess/owner(?) always greets us and is very helpful and welcoming. Excellent pho, perfect for a rainy day or when you just need some comforting soup. I also enjoy their spring rolls, and my favorite, the salt and pepper prawns. Recommended! read more

Yummy vegetable Pho. Served very hot! No sprouts, cilantro, basil or lime is served with. Another table asked for cilantro and the server laughed and brought cilantro for them. We didn't ask because she seemed annoyed by the request read more

Sai's T Restaurant - Vegetable Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Livermore, California

I don't know why the best Chinese food in Livermore is found at a Vietnamese restaurant, but it is! We've been craving high quality, high-flavor Chinese since moving here, and while it's not a Szechuan restaurant by any stretch, the Chinese dishes here are really really good! I can highly recommend the beef with Chef Chili sauce, and the Salt and Pepper Fish! The beef chow fun is excellent too. I've only gotten a combo plate of Vietnamese food so far, and the BBQ pork over rice and Imperial rolls were also very good. Also, the service is excellent! They have online ordering, and when my husband went to pickup the server was very sweet and kind. When she heard we had the toddler in the car, she insisted that she'd bring it out to us, and next time just call and she'd bring it right out! Everything is well packaged so the fried items don't get steamed and mushy, and it all arrives still hot and fresh. I can't wait to try more.of the recommendations from the other reviews! Heads up though, the salt and peppers prawns are full head-on prawns, and while I'm sure this is a bonus to many, it's definitely NOT what we were looking for. The garlic noodles were fine and you get a ton, but still not as good as I've had in SF or at the Foodie Night Market, so will probably skip. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Restaurant is clean and there's plenty of seating. The lady who answers the phone and works the counter recognizes us every time and is so nice. I guess we eat here too often! There are several items here that have become our go to. If we are sitting down to eat my husband gets the pho. It's not the best in the world but it's good. The star and we must get every time is the salt and pepper fish! So good. We've had salt and pepper asparagus there as well and it's a good substitute if you don't do fish. The chow mein, it is on the greasy side so we don't order it often. If you love veggie you must try their chop suey, ask for extra bean sprouts. I promise you won't be disappointed. Give it a try if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Stopped by on the way home from work for dinner and wasn't disappointed. The lady here was very nice and helpful. She even filled our personal bowls with soup. Just overall very nice and friendly so I had to leave this review. Also, the food was very flavorful. I left with a food coma. Two thumbs up. read more

We went in the early evening on a Saturday night. Not crowded at all but might be later. Na was extremely hospitable and very friendly. We ordered from both the Vietnamese and the Chinese menu. The best of both worlds! The food was amazing. Fresh and very promptly delivered to our table. The menu offers many choices and everything we had was awesome. Definitely going back again despite the 20 mile drive. We both highly recommend. read more

So if you see my reviews , I'm pretty much a 4-5 star guy. But tonight I wanted to suprise my fiancé with dinner that has been great in the Past, but tonight wasn't that good. Really sad the chicken salad- chicken dry. The sweet and sour chicken was over cooked and not tasty, the broccoli beef was good and the shrimp spring rolls were just ok. The imperial rolls were pretty blah that came with combo plate were just blah. Overall unimpressive, not like other times. read more

Huh. Very disappointed with the quality of food. I called in a to go order, a beef stew, seafood pho and empirical springs rolls. I asked for glass noodles instead of egg noodles and the restaurant was not able to substitute. No problem. At pick up, the server/front counter lady told me that they don't do glass noodle. Since the menu states that empirical rolls are made with glass noodle, I inquired why they can't just substitute it and up charge me for it. No good explanation was provided. Every pho place we visit, I always order the same thing if available. Which is a beef stew-chunks of actual beef in rich red beef broth with carrots. This beef stew was nothing like it. Super blend broth, a tiny amount of what tasted like lunch meat beef and noodles that instantly fall apart, becoming almost like a mashed potato soup. The seafood pho was below mediocre, absolutely do not recommend. My wife and I ended up tasting the food and throwing it away. Will be going elsewhere for dinner tonight. We enjoy exploring new local places and this one was a miss. $40 for the 3 things ordered. read more

Sai's T Restaurant - Beef Stew Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Livermore, California

Ignore the negative reviews, this is the best Chinese restaurant in Livermore. (Yes, it's technically Vietnamese, but they feature a lot of standard Chinese restaurant dishes.) Everything we had was incredibly fresh and served piping hot. The pot stickers were the best I've ever had: crispy yet chewy and the filing was spiced perfectly. The Mu-Shu pork, sesame chicken, and the tomato beef chow mein were equally delicious. I've been to mainland China several times and, yes, these dishes aren't "authentic". When the food is this good, who cares? My only regret about coming here is that I didn't do so sooner. read more

Went to lunch at Sai T's (Vietnamese/Chinese) with my coworkers today. Called ahead to place the order and they had everything ready for us on arrival- on time! Food was delish!

Sai's T Restaurant - 51. Chicken with Mixed Vegetables - Vietnamese Near Me - Livermore, California

I decided to give this restaurant a try today for lunch. I work on the other side of the fwy so I made a call to see if they would take my "take out" order. They did, so I went ahead and told the nice woman on the line that I would be there in less than 5 minutes. I arrived, went to the register and I was warmly greeted. I paid for my food and within a minute my food was ready. I was extremely pleased with the experience but waited to get back to work and eat. So when I tried the food, I was very pleased with the portions and the food was very flavorful. I kept it simple and ordered a beef chow mein. Overall, I am an extremely picky eater but this place earns the 5 stars. I would definitely come back and I also do recommend this restaurant to others. read more

Very tasty and good price. Have been a regular customer for over 10 years and cannot find any restaurant better for Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine in Nor Cal. Recommend it highly. read more

Everything here is very solid! We tried pho, egg rolls, pork roll, and a combo plate. The combo plate portions are HUGE and everything was tasty. Meat was fresh and well seasoned. I will say the meat for the pho was packed weird. Rare beef packed with warm noodles so was well done when arrived. Brisket was in broth. Egg rolls put on top of lettuce so lettuce was soggy and unappetizing. Pork roll was stuffed with noodles and not enough meat. Pictures from reviews were deceiving. read more

The food and the service is excellent, definitely a hidden gem. We stopped by on the way home, I got the pho and my partner got the house special. Everything was delicious. read more
