    Lemongrass pork with garlic noodles. $15.16
    liz t.

    So I've eaten here about 3 to 4 times before deciding to write a review. First time had pho, second time a noodle dish, milk tea and the third time pho and this last time the new special rib Pho.... I really wished this place was better since I love pho and Its close by unfortunately it's been very disappointing. So saw their promo on their insta about a new rib pho so thought I'd give it another try. I skipped lunch so that I'd be able to eat it all since it looked quite large on their video. Promo featured was buy one get one 50% Off before 6pm. Got there a little after 5 and ordered and was charged full price for both was told it was before 5pm not 6pm. Promo was current and had been posted 1day prior. Person said it was a mistake on the post but it was on all 3 recent posts. He did offer buy 1drink get 1 50% off which I declined. Drinks are too sweet. It's not even about the discount at that point. I just don't appreciate being lied to. The rib pho was definitely a big size with plenty of meat and noodles. The broth however was lacking. It was not as hot temperature as I'd hoped and the lovely star anise and other spices that are usually the best part of pho were not there for me. The bean sprouts given are minimal and half the basil was a bit wilted. If you are the type of person who dumps in hoisin sauce and Sriracha sauce into pho, you'll be fine. The meat on the bone was not tender nor falling of the bone. The chewy silver skin seemed to still be on. I did finish the bowl as I had skipped lunch and paid for the meal but I would not get it again. I can say the service was decent but I did thank the person who brought our food three times and was not acknowledged which is fine. The restaurant itself is very clean and they have variety of beers on tap. There is plenty of parking and covered parking in the parking structure.

    Super fresh and large portions. Just about everything is shareable and it doesn't weigh you down when you're full. Service is fast and staff is very helpful especially going over the menu to clarify what everything is. You can dine inside and spread out at the large tables or outside under the umbrellas in a peaceful shared common area. Outside has calm background music

    This was my first time here and will definitely be back soon. Very clean and excellent customer service. Bruno was wonderful and made great recommendations. The food was delicious and the matcha milk tea and mango smoothie hit the spot for a hot day.

    Shaken beef with garlic noodles
    Julie N.

    I learned about this place through YouTubers Bill & Lisa's Food and Travel channel. Great channel to learn about local and overseas eats. Here's what we ordered... Shaken beef with garlic noodles: Noodles were better than the beef, but great flavors. Banh Mi with pork: I haven't had a good Banh Mi sandwich like this in a long time. This fast-food restaurant is located in the very relaxing "Enclave" where you can find other great places to eat. Plenty of free parking. I was here on a hot day, so I skipped the pho and will return in the near future.

    Back at 123 Pho and this time it's for an awesome buy 1, get 1 deal. If you download 123 Pho's app, they have several rewards and one of them is a deal for buy 1, get 1. This buy 1, get 1 offer is valid everyday from 1-5pm till November 30. The pho currently is priced at $15.70 and they still have a build your own pho option where you can choose noodles (thin, wide, easy or no noodles or egg noodles- egg noodles are $1.50 extra), three choices of protein (brisket, rare flank, meatballs, chicken, fried tofu mushrooms, mix veggies, tendon or shrimp or salmon- shrimp and salmon are $3 extra ) and choice of broth (beef/chicken or vegetarian) . I chose to get mine with meatballs, brisket and fried tofu. They did forget the meatballs in mine but I was pleasantly surprised how much brisket and tofu they included. There were plenty of noodles as well. It's definitely a lot more ingredients than when I first reviewed a few years back. I'm happy with this update! Aside from the pho, I tried their egg rolls for the first time. For $8.70, it came with four crispy pork and shrimp egg rolls. The egg rolls could have had a bit more filling but was still quite delicious. I also appreciate the golden brown crisp of the egg rolls. Overall I was pleased with this visit and planning to be back soon.

    Located at The Enclave. Customizable Pho! Choice of Noodles (thin, wide, easy or egg), Protein (brisket, rare flank, meatballs, chicken, fried tofu mushrooms, mixed veggies, tendons, salmon, or shrimp), Broth (beef/chicken or vegetarian). I prefer the vegetarian broth over the beef/chicken. It has more "pho" flavor and not as salty. Currently, they have a BOGO Free bowl of pho from 1-5pm for the month of November with promo code "BOGO". Order online for easy pickup. The noodles/protein and soup are packaged separately and nicely, no spills! Plenty of parking!

    Pho with thin noodles, tofu, mushrooms and rare steak.
    Danielle H.

    My soup didn't taste like authentic Pho, however, I have been here a few times before, and, their soup is consistently flavorful. I like that I can add more veggies to my soup making it taste and feel healthier. I'm actually very happy with their service. I always go with a group of people and the workers are very attentive to us. We also like that the music they play isn't too loud and we can have comfortable voice-level conversations.

    Lemon Grass Pork
    Danni Y.

    Decent taste and portion size however pretty overpriced. Ordered easily online and got the lemon grass pork. Good flavors and definitely appreciated that the pork was kept in foil to keep it warm and prevent sogginess. The sauces were good and mixed well with the rest of the bowl. Everything totaled to $20 with tip. Plenty of seating outside at the Enclave with free parking in the back.

    I've been here a few times before, and had their pho. I am usually not into pho and was always on the search for one that I liked. 123 pho has certainly changed my view on pho. Broth is tasty, personalize with your preferred proteins, add as much jalapenos,mint and bean sprouts as you desire. Today I had the firecracker wings, because I've been on a wings binge. This had nice flavor and the meat was falling off the bone. Was it spicy? No, but I'm not the one to ask if anything is spicy. Service is always with a smile. Food comes out at a reasonable amount of time. Seating indoors or outdoors. Plenty of parking at the Enclave.

    Tofu and Mushroom Banh Mi
    Jennifer T.

    I'm a regular here since I work very close by. They are always consistent, food is fresh. I usually order pick-up but the employees are always friendly. Love the Enclave and the ambiance of the area. *I just have to remember to ask for my banh mi sandwich to be cut in half, they're so good but they fall apart!

    So I'm disappointed. Now let me start with saying food was good. What I'm sad about is the way I felt we were treated; maybe he thought we don't know . We ordered sat down food came fast. However the expectation of what comes with Pho we didn't not get. We watched other patrons sit, their food came all sides were brought to them. We had to ask. My child and her friend had to ask me can we get a lime, can we get bean sprouts, can we get basil. Why did we have to ask and the others who just sat down around us didn't, it was brought to them automatically. I tipped ahead assuming my service would have been better. We eat out a lot, we are mini foodies we have expectations and they were not met. $94.24 later, I won't go back.

    Garlic Noodles & Summer Rolls (2)
    Alexia N.

    I ordered off door dash so I can't say much about the service at the restaurant. I ordered the dry garlic noodles which had no flavor just oil not even garlic or any color to it. I ordered their summer rolls which was pretty good because of the sauce it came with. I just might come back for these and try their pho but after the reviews here I'm not too sure.

    Best Bahn Mi I ever had in So Cal ! I have been looking for good go to bahn mi stop for years and this place is the one ! Radish and carrot pickles are very tasty and the bread was crispy outside and warm and soft inside. Definitely going back again!

I just remember working nearby when I was younger and Saigon Dish becoming part of the routine. I came constantly. Sometimes practically every day. This was before the larger setup they have now, when the whole operation felt smaller and you got to know the person behind it pretty quickly. That person is John. And before we get into pho, John deserves his paragraph. He is one of those increasingly rare restaurant owners who makes you genuinely happy to hand him your money. In the early days, before I became the longtime regular who mostly gives him shit, I remember him talking me through ingredients. Why he chose something. What I should order. What was good that day. There was an intentionality behind the food that told you somebody was paying attention. And that's the thing I respect most about this place, he never let it go. The restaurant grew. Life moved on. I stopped working nearby. I got older. I brought coworkers. Then friends. My parents. My sisters. Eventually my wife and kids. And the pho is still good. I should establish that I'm obnoxious about pho. I've eaten a lot of it, from tiny places where nobody particularly cares whether you know they exist to polished restaurants charging you for the privilege of sitting underneath an Edison bulb. There are spectacular bowls all over California. So I'm not going to tell you Saigon Dish serves the single greatest pho ever created by mankind. It doesn't need that kind of BS. What it does incredibly well is balance. The broth is clean. That's the word I always come back to. Clean. Deep enough that you know something happened before it reached your bowl, but it doesn't club you over the head with star anise and herbs. And it isn't the sad, watery approximation of pho you sometimes encounter when you wander too far west and somebody has decided broth should taste like hot water that once met a cow. This tastes like pho. The filet mignon is consistently tender and smooth. The tripe is properly cleaned. The tendon is cooked beautifully, soft and gelatinous without disintegrating, which is where tendon should live. The meatballs are surprisingly good. The well done beef can occasionally lean a little dry for my taste, but that's what the bowl of broth and a little sriracha are for. I've also eaten my way through so much of the menu that reconstructing it would require archaeological work. Egg rolls? Get them. Rice dishes? Yep. Noodles? Yep. Vietnamese coffee? Obviously. Coconut drinks? Go for it. I've brought an absurd number of people here over the years and the remarkable thing is how universally the place works. Pho nerds can find something to obsess over, but you can also bring somebody who barely knows Vietnamese food and they'll be completely comfortable. And then there's the operation itself. This isn't some immaculate Beverly Hills dining room designed by a hospitality group. Thank God. It looks like a South Bay Vietnamese restaurant. Every available corner seems to have acquired a purpose. People are moving everywhere. Tables are turning. Someone needs extra onions. Someone wants another bowl. Someone's asking for sriracha. Somebody's kid needs chopsticks. Water appears before you realize you need it. And somehow it flows. That's harder than it looks. Service here has always felt unusually effortless to me. Not performative. Nobody is giving you a TED Talk about the provenance of the bean sprouts. They just take care of you. Parking occasionally becomes its own little hunger game. Don't panic. Circle around, wait a few minutes, somebody will finish their pho and leave. I've written a lot of reviews and I don't throw five stars around because then five stars stop meaning anything. But how exactly do you rate a restaurant you've voluntarily returned to for close to thirty years? At some point consistency becomes the review. I've watched Saigon Dish grow from the little place I remember into what it is today. I've sent coworkers here. Friends. My parents. My sisters. My own family. I've probably eaten enough of John's pho at this point that some measurable percentage of my body belongs to the restaurant. And I'm still coming back.

You order inside and pick up your food at the window outside, and the whale mural surrounding the pickup window is such a fun, memorable touch. There are a couple of benches outside if you want to eat there, although I noticed most people seemed to grab their food to go. The food was absolutely incredible. I ordered the Cash Burger, and it was packed with flavor. The burger was perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and honestly one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Even a simple burger here tastes like it was made with care. The truffle Parmesan fries were another standout--crispy, flavorful, and completely addictive. We also tried two dipping sauces: the habanero cream and the chipotle. Both were delicious and added a unique twist to the burger and fries, but the habanero cream was definitely my favorite. It's not often you find sauces that elevate an already great meal this much. My only suggestion would be to improve the outdoor seating area. The benches could use a little more attention, and having a better trash setup would make eating outside much more enjoyable. One thing that really sold me was my one-year-old. She absolutely devoured the burger! I usually have to work to get her to eat anything besides quesadillas, and even In-N-Out can be hit or miss with her, so that says a lot. Overall, I'm so glad we stopped here. Between the amazing food, fun atmosphere, and beach-town vibe, I'd happily go out of my way to come back. If you're anywhere nearby, don't miss this spot!

Everything was ordered EXTRA SPICY -- Level 5 through the online menu. When we got home, we took our first bites and immediately thought, "Wait... did they give us someone else's food?" No spice. Zero. Barely any flavor at all. This wasn't Level 5. This wasn't Level 1. This was apparently Level 0: Thai food for people who are afraid of black pepper. So we called the restaurant. The woman who answered told us, incredibly confidently, that they don't make their food spicy. Excuse me... what? This is a Thai restaurant. We have ordered spicy food from Swan Thai before. And, more importantly, your own online ordering system literally has spice levels, including Level 5. So either the online menu is completely meaningless, or someone in the restaurant has decided that customers no longer deserve to know what they're ordering. We asked to speak with a manager. Apparently, there was no manager. We asked for the owner. We were told the owners "come and go as they want." So who exactly is running this place? Is it just a group project where everyone shows up, does whatever they want, and hopes nobody asks questions? The food was so bland and disappointing that we barely ate it. And honestly, after the ridiculous phone conversation, we didn't even have much interest in finishing it. What makes this worse is that I used to like Swan Thai. That's why this was so disappointing. Restaurants can have an off day, but when the food is wrong, the online menu contradicts what an employee tells you, and there apparently isn't even a manager available to address the issue, that's more than an off day. Swan Thai, you used to be much better. Somewhere along the way, the food lost its flavor and the customer service apparently lost its direction. I won't be making the mistake of ordering here again.
