Wings and A2. Crab Rangoons (Real Crab) (8)
Rachele K.

Food is great !!! Waiter is friendly and good service. Ambiance is lovely. I was seeking a high star restaurant and drove here to santee.

S7. Lemongrass Tofu vermicelli Bowl

I came last night for dinner during their last hour with my family, and even though it was pretty busy with only one server, Peter did an amazing job. He was so kind, attentive, and genuinely apologetic for any delays, but honestly, the service never felt lacking. He handled everything really well on his own, which we appreciated. The food was just as great as always. I had the Lemongrass Tofu Vermicelli Bowl, super tasty and full of flavor. This is my third time coming here, and they never disappoint. The portions are generous and everything is consistently good. Definitely recommend this spot and shoutout to Peter for making our experience even better!

P1. Sizzling Saigon Special Pho

Tonight we tested this new restaurant out in Santee. Wow what a great place! The atmosphere was inviting, comfortable, and had subtle music playing. Very clean and welcoming. Our server Peter was amazing. Quick, friendly, and very attentive. All of our food was 5/5. Grilled shrimp spring rolls- great flavor, fresh, good peanut sauce. Sizzling Saigon special pho- my husband loved this. Side of thicker noodles with rare meat to add. White meat chicken pho- clean, tasty, great portion of solid white chicken meat. Loved the freshness of the basil, limes, jalapeños, and bean sprouts. Small side of fried rice- nice tasty treat. We will 100% be back. Thank you!

Beef

4/3/2026 - went there with a friend and we ordered a beef plate and a bowl of soup. Both were delicious. Filling and priced right. Check out photos. Clean inside and not that busy today. Our first time there.

A6. Grilled Chicken Spring Rolls
Paul K.

Was excited to visit this highly reviewed Vietnamese restaurant in town. The staff were very passionate about the food, had lots of good recommendations, and created a welcoming environment. The grilled chicken spring rolls were superb, well seasoned and moist chicken with fresh veggies. The pho was also good but tasted similar to the other shops around town. Would definitely return and try some of their sizzling platters, those looked amazing passing by our table!

P4. Rare Steak Pho
Mary W.

Really good pho. Ordered the rare steak pho and it was full of noodles and a lot of meat. Ordered to go and food was still hot by the time I got home. Service was good but they need one more person to help with waiting on tables/taking orders. Felt bad for the guy by himself. I like the atmosphere at this place too

I enjoyed a nice bowl of Bun Ga Nuong Cha Gio or vermicelli with grilled chicken and crispy egg rolls at this Vietnamese eatery. $14.89 plus tax. First of all, the Bun looked beautiful. The colors look great and I'm please the way all the ingredients are nicely arranged in the bowl. They did an exceptional job on this bowl. The chicken was well prepared. It well seasoned and tender. It picked up a little smokiness from the grills as well. The egg rolls were very crispy and came with a good amount of veggies and ground pork inside. The only thing that I thought they should work on was the vermicelli noodles. They came hot and should have been cold or not warmer than room temperature. All the veggies that accompanied the meal were great and so was their house fish sauce. They offered hot sauce which went great with the bun. I do wish however if they would also offer the Vietnamese chili sauce as well or tương ớt. The service was friendly enough. They offer a lot of good inside seating.

Shrimp and pork spring rolls

3.5 rounded up to 4 I'm in from out of town and had a pho craving, so I found myself here after discovering my first choice is closed on Wednesdays. I arrived around noon and was the only customer for a while. I was greeted, quickly seated, and placed my order within a few minutes of arriving. Spring rolls: I can't pinpoint it but something about these tasted off. The peanut sauce was good, but I would skip these next time. Pho: A-okay. Not the best I've had nor the worst. I could have used a little more flavor in the broth. Value wise, I appreciated that it wasn't a giant bowl which I can usually never finish, and I thought the price was fair. Ambiance: The restaurant was squeaky clean, though I wished desperately to hear something other than what sounded like a royalty-free instrumental music playlist. Service was quick and friendly, and easy parking right in front.

Looks amazing

ordered the beef with vegetables and rice (shown in the first photo). The rice was absolutely perfect flavorful and well-cooked. The vegetables were also tasty and fresh. However, the beef itself had a strange taste. I'm not sure if it came from a particular sauce or seasoning, but if that were the case, I'd expect the vegetables to have the same flavor which they didn't. Because of that odd taste, I ended up eating only the vegetables (as you can see in the next photo). That's just my personal experience. The second dish, which included a mix of grilled meats and an egg, was very good the meat there tasted great. I'd rate that one 4 out of 5. The staff, servers, and cooks were all extremely kind and polite. The restaurant was clean, the service was fast and friendly, and there's plenty of parking. Overall, I personally wouldn't go back, but it's still a nice spot with wonderful people.

Egg Rolls!

Great food and great service! Our server Peter was awesome!!!! We'll definitely be back!

R1. House Special Broken Rice
Alyce C.

The service was great! They were prompt and attentive. We ordered the House Special Broken Rice. It came with 2 large pieces of grilled pork chops that were deliciously marinated and juicy with perfect grill marks, best pork chops I've had in San Diego! There were also pieces of deep fried pork belly with the sautéed green onions, iykyk! It comes with a tasty soup bowl, which is definitely their pho broth, so I will definitely come back to try their pho. The portions are generous and the food was superb.

P1. Sizzling Saigon Special Pho

Had such an amazing lunch here with my family! I ordered the Sizzling Saigon Special Pho and it was absolutely delicious--rich, authentic flavors and perfectly cooked. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. I also tried their Salted Plum with Club Soda, which was super refreshing and the perfect drink to go with the meal. Everything from the food to the overall experience was fantastic. Highly recommend this spot, and I'll definitely be coming back again with my family!

I cannot say enough good things about the food served here…read more We start with the fresh spring rolls. Fresh veggies and made to order. I usually get the grilled pork with rice.

We were seated along the wall which had booth seating, which I prefer. For drinks I ordered a Thai tea no boba and the hubs a coke. We order the following items for dinner: Appetizers - - Crispy egg rolls - with pork (4 pieces) - served with veggies and fish sauce, these were tasty. - Salt pepper chicken wings - (8 pieces) they were a tad over fried but flavor was good. - Spring rolls - (2 pieces) with pork and shrimp, we ordered these Togo. Hubs enjoyed these for a late evening snack. Entrees - - Combination fried rice - chicken, shrimp and cha siu (Chinese bbq pork) I liked the flavoring of the fried rice - it was not bland, but I did mix in a tiny bit of hoisin sauce. - Pho rare steak - overloaded with green onions and cilantro. We always order pho but I really wasn't feeling it that evening, so it was all the hubs. If you love tons of green onions and cilantro, get it! The broth had a really strong flavoring of the cilantro. Overall dinner was fairly good. Seemed like there were regular customers that visited often. Staff were super nice and friendly. Parking lot was not packed at all. If in the area, I'd visit again. 2026: 7

The service was excellent the moment we walked in and continued all the way until we left. The entire floor staff were friendly, attentive, and incredibly hardworking--especially as the dinner rush picked up. You could really see them hustling, but they never missed a beat. The food was just as impressive as the service. We started with the shrimp and beef spring rolls with fish sauce, which are always a must for us. For our mains, we ordered a variety of rice platter dishes including grilled shrimp, BBQ pork, BBQ chicken, egg rolls, and a BBQ beef banh mi sandwich--everything was flavorful and satisfying. One thing that really stood out was our waiter, who memorized our entire order without writing anything down--very impressive! I also placed a to-go order for the #99 platter, and everything came out quickly and accurately. We were in and out in under an hour and a half, even during peak dinner time. When the service is exceptional everything else follows! Overall, a fantastic dining experience with great food and exceptional service!!!!

The health and safety board needs to indirect this place. The tables were wiped but you could still see grease remnants from left over food on the table. The lack of sanitary practices gets an " F" rating. It is obvious no one has a food handlers certificate. One plate came out and had to wait over 5 min for next plate to Come out. If you keep your eyes closed and don't watch what they are doing here, you probably think their food is great. We won't ever come here again.

I did my best to cover my child as I held back extreme, loss of words, rage until they realized what they had done. This is egregious! No apology or expressions of "love" could EVER make up for their horrendous neglect for basic food service safety. I would encourage ANYONE thinking of eating at this establishment to reconsider. How was the food? Absolutely disgusting! We had Pho and Ramen and I couldn't taste anything over the over salted "water", I wouldn't dare call it broth. Customer service: Other than what was already mentioned, it was the worst experience. There were four tops being serviced, yet they were in such a rush. I don't think we had finished our drink order before they started to walk away. When they came to check on us after everything was delivered to the table, I made by extreme displeasure known. We received empty apologies, no effort to "make it right" after eating less than half because I couldn't stomach it anymore. We decided to leave, so they brought the bill. I guess when you express you will NEVER come back to their establishment, there isn't much incentive to "make it right". We begrudgingly paid nearly $40 PLUS their 3% service fee for credit card transactions. As I told the staff, and who we believe to be the owner, we will never come back to this place and I would encourage others to do the same. The day can't come soon enough where their business fails and they are forced to shutter their doors. If they read this and think this is a harsh review or over reaction to bad service, may I remind them, THEY through their neglectful and unprofessional service, placed our child in a situation that could have been life endangering and altering. ( To be clear, placing our child in a situation that there was a possibility of having scalding liquid dropped on the top of her head. There is no apology or making it right that would EVER be sufficient!)

Saigon Star is the standard. Period. This is the best pho…read moreI've had -- not just "good," not just "solid" -- the best. Every time I think about trying another pho spot, I don't. Why would I downgrade? THE BÁNH MÌ BREAD IS REALLY CRISPY (NOT SOGGY). some of the less-than-5-star reviews are @#%% RIDICULOUS! People complain about the smallest, most ridiculous things. One night I was having dinner there and a "KAREN" was complaining because the credit card machine temporarily wasn't working. What exactly were they supposed to do -- magically fix technology on the spot? s**** happend! Meanwhile, another guy stepped in trying to calm the situation down and be the peacemaker. Honestly, that moment said more about the complaining than it did about the restaurant. Maybe I should leave a review on the behavior of some customers instead. This isn't fast food -- this is culture, tradition, and hard work! I love Vietnamese people in general and employ some of them . Their families take pride in what they do, and it shows.!!! If you're looking for authentic, high-quality Vietnamese food made with care, this is it. I'll keep coming back. Every time.

But now it's been replaced by onion rings and calamari rings...basic and boring. It wasn't even updated on the menu so we ended up ordering it and getting this monstrosity.
