    Meatball pho with the fixings plate - excellent, the best in Phoenix
    Vivian H.

    I dont know why I dont come here more often but really I should because this place makes excellent Vietnamese food. Today I came in as I wanted some pho, was feeling a bit dehydrated from running a 10K race today and just wanted to refuel. I ordered the meatball pho and it was excellent. All the flavors are spot on, and everything tasted right! Probably the best pho I have had here in Phoenix! The sit down area is no frills and you help yourself to utensils, hoisin sauce, Sriracha, napkins, water. Id say order take out. You also bus your own table and make sure tp place your empty bowls and plates in the grey bin above the trash right before you leave. My only complaint is that I couldn't find the soap in the bathroom. Excellent pho, I'll definitely come back!

    I saw some real good reviews so I thought I give this place a try. Two different Pho place in one week, I think this is my record. OK, this review and my rating is based on Pho only. Ordered my usual special Pho with all the meat. Little over $19 after tax, seems like this is going rate of price around here. Little station where you can make your own dipping sauce was nice. Now being I came right after it opened I was disappointed to see the station not the cleanest. Nothing crazy to where I am going to nit pick every little thing, but enough for me to comment on it. So my bowl came and I don't know why but stainless bowl was little odd and because of the color of the bowl made the broth more watery.. Took my first sip of the broth and it was not too bad. I mixed my vegetables and started eating it. I alway eat my Pho with the spoon, I grab some noodles and put them on the spoon, then dip the spoon in the broth and eat it with broth and noodle. For me this is the best way since you are not just shoving noodle and tasting broth separately. As I started to eat more and more I couldn't help noticing that the broth lacked flavor more than I thought. I finished my bowl thinking man, what a disappointment. This place again is too far for me so I probably won't return. Again I am sure based on reviews other dishes are good, but Pho for me was a no go. Just for the record, I always try the broth before I add any side vegetables and or chillie/Saracha.

    Lotus root salad

    I haven't visited Viet Shack for a long time, so I was surprised to see that they now have an expanded dining area! Even I was always there for a to-go order, I am now intrigued to have a sit down experience. I will never stop praising this "hole in a wall" for their fresh ingredients and attractive menu. If they start opening at 6am just by selling their signature coffee, that would be amazing!! (Take my wallet!!) I am also happy to find out that they now offer pho. I hope to go back soon to try it out!

    "The [Viet]shack is a little old place where We can get together." - Actual lyrics of The B-52'S "Love Shack" Okay, maybe not. Don't press charges. But they might as well be the lyrics because I would find it hard to believe that Vietshack doesn't bring people together through good food. I've been coming here for a minute and have tried everything on the menu. Not one bad dish is served here. Some of my favorites are the Salt & Pepper Wings and the Char Siu Rice Plate with fried rice. Honorable mention to the Shack Fried Noodles. The Lotus Root Salad is also a refreshing dish. It's cool to see that they have expanded over to the fish shop that was next door. I wish them continued success.

    Veggie spring rolls (devoured one before I snapped pic) and veggie tofu stir fried noodles!
    Cecilia L.

    I ordered take out once before and loved it, but I finally got to dine in for lunch on the 4th with a friend. It's a small little spot with a counter to order on the left side of the space and then the dining area to the right. You order at the counter & take a number to your table cafeteria style. I got the veggie spring rolls and the veggie tofu noodles. My friend got the number 8b (bun thit nuong vermicelli bowl) and an order of the shrimp spring rolls. The spring rolls are scrumptious with fresh crisp veggies inside, but the best part is the peanut sauce! It's noy spicy like other places I've been and it's just perfect compliment to the roll. I always ask for a second sauce (I want one for each roll). The veggie stir fried noodles were delicious. The veggies were super fresh and tender crisp (cooked perfectly) and the noodles were cooked well and not overly greasy. I absolutely love how they slice the tofu into thin square strips so the edges crisp perfectly in the fryer and you dont have a big soggy middle (as you would with a normal full cube). My friend also thoroughly enjoyed her meal and said she would totally go out of her way to come back here and that her mom would love it too. Highly recommend, whether dining in or to-go! Staff was super friendly and helpful as well. I'm glad I'm only 5mins away from here so I can stop by any time I have a hankering for the food!

    Fried chicken
    Jessica D.

    Best food east of the west coast, awesome customer service, seating expanded and now they have PHO!!! Your missing out if you haven't tried this place, food is always fresh and this place has not changed their portions, you get a great bargain with price and portion here.

    Chicken fried rice
    Nikki M.

    I've been seeing this place for many years since I go to Floor and Decor often. Not sure why I never tried it but now I realized I've been missing out. It's a hidden gem! It's a tiny place from the outside but inside there is plenty of seating. You order up at the counter and then they bring the food to you. Dishes are on disposable plates so it's more of a fast food joint which I don't mind at all. I had looked up the menu online prior to the visit and to my surprise the price has not changed in a few years. Their price is super affordable and portion size is perfect. We ordered the chicken fried rice plate and the lotus salad and they were both amazing. I even came back the next day but they weren't open eventhough the sign said 11am and I was there a few minutes after. Looking forward to trying other dishes at a later time. Happy to have found a Vietnamese restaurant that is actually good and affordable.

    Crispy Chicken over White Rice Plate
    Patrick L.

    Super friendly family that run this place! As a vietnamese person, I approve this place 100%. The crispy chicken over white rice hits the spot every time. The flavor not too salty but can add soy sauce if you'd like, portion is just perfect because it's filling, and the prices are very fair.

    Rice Plates
    Shu Huan Y.

    Love that they expanded the space. It's been awhile since I've been in! Got the bah mi and a fried chicken plate with noodles. The chicken was perfectly fried and super juicy! The bah mi was also tasty. I'd love to try the rest of the menu. Service was good And people are friendly. I'm all for family owned businesses, all the food was great.

    Grilled pork with white rice
    Alisha O.

    I came here not long after Vietshack opened and though it's close and I liked it, I never end up stopping in. Grabbed lunch here today and it was so good! I got the grilled pork with white rice. The sauce they give with it is so good! I'll definitely be stopping by more often.

    They recently renovated and the place is a lot bigger and more sit down spots are available to eat there. This restaurant is one of my favorites spots to visit as their food is always good quality and amazing value for price. Their new pho is a little salty for me but it was still really good, I would recommend their chicken plate dishes as those are amazing and you get a huge chicken which is amazing!

    I was craving a banh mi today and was in the area and stopped by here due to the great reviews. It did not disappoint! The staff were super friendly. I ordered at the counter to eat in restaurant. My sandwich was absolutely delicious! I'm used to getting a firmer tofu on a banh mi but they serve theirs with a softer tofu- and I loved it. The pickled veggies were absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back!

    Alan N.

    Very unique viet sandwich. The bread is softer and wider than the traditional sandwiches I have had. Quick and friendly service. Would come back Parking lot of site

My aunt was served a bowl that was dirty on the outside (yes... the bowl, not just the table -- see the photo I attached). Not exactly appetizing... and she didn't eat it at all, it was completely untouched. We told the staff immediately, and instead of, I don't know.. like maybe apologizing or replacing it like a normal restaurant?.. They basically said it was our fault and still charged us for the untouched dish. So just to confirm: you can serve dirty dishes and still get paid? That is a interesting business model, I've never seen anything like it! Then they hit us with a 20% service fee, which is honestly kind of iconic considering the service was: * ignoring customers * denying what we clearly told them * and charging us anyway Like... thank you for the experience I guess??? And to top it off, after I actually ate there, I had the worst stomach ache and diarrhea. So NOT only do you pay for food you don't eat, you might also leave with a free health issue! LOVE THAT!!! As someone who is Vietnamese, this was just embarrassing. You expect better standards, better hospitality, and at the very least... clean bowls??? Overall, if you enjoy paying for untouched food, being gaslit, and risking your stomach, this is your place. Otherwise, I'd look for somewhere else to eat.

The first time I had it, I actually couldn't stop thinking about it because I was genuinely surprised with how good it was. I also noticed that they are very consistent with the taste of the broth. Usually when I get pho, the broth doesn't always taste the same but here at Saigon it does. The broth is very rich and savory. I also noticed they add a lot of noodles which I love but I also wish they added more broth. The meat is also very tender, I always go with the brisket and it always tastes great. I personally like my soup to have extra green onion, unfortunately if you do ask for extra there is a charge of $2. I also recommend the egg rolls, they're packed with flavor and honestly it's just a good appetizer to have before your pho. The restaurant itself is beautiful and very spacious. Every time I've gone there's never any wait. The service has also been great, I've had maybe 1 time where it wasn't as great but it was still good. The food always comes out fresh and very hot. Overall, I love this restaurant so much and I will continue coming back!

It felt like "a relief" when we stepped out front. After 2 hours sitting in the wooden seats, my butt was also relieved to be getting up. Parking is ridiculous, it's a very thin one way driveway with *no way to turn around* when you reach the end - back it up! Super tiny parking lot. Food: the food was very good. We ordered 6-8 things for the 4 of us because all items are pretty small. Top section of the menu are called smaller items. They were. Items on the bottom section are bigger, but not big. For perspective, when the 4 of us split an item from the bottom "entree section" we each got 2-3 bites/forks-full. So a full entree for one person is 8-12 bites. All items tasted very good, clearly high quality, well curated and definitely unique to this restaurant. The steamed white rice was hot, steamy, moist and sticky, really good. The Panang Chicken was really good, different, creamy, dark, rich and smokey. I added pictures of the menu, inside, patio, bar and a few food items so you can see for yourself. Would I go back? I would because the service was great, visual atmosphere was comfortable, and food was high quality, but turning the music volume down at least 1/2 way from what we had would go a long way,... a looooong way, seriously. Increasing the portion size of menu entrees would also be an improvement since they're about the same price as larger portions elsewhere. And throw some cushions on those inside wooden benches, our butts will thank you. Overall this was a good first visit and I'd try Glai Baan again, hoping for the same great service, quality food and updates to the other items.

No complaints. Short rib pho - So much meat, the ribs were flavorful and tender, the broth was a little greasy and did not taste super fresh but overall my husband was still satisfied. I also got the Vietnamese ice coffee with condensed milk on the side. It was strong, delicious and traditional. There is plenty of seating and the restaurant is clean. If craving pho in Chandler, this place does the job.
