When you first enter, you're immediately greeted at the host stand. To the left is some cushioned seating and they have a punny neon sign that reads "I'll Love You Pho Ever." I enjoy this Asian fusion restaurant because it has so many different options! When you look at the menu, you'll notice it has quite a variety to choose from. I really enjoyed their coconut shrimp that came with a side of macaroni salad and white rice. Make sure you're dunking your coconut shrimp in that sauce! It was tangy and delicious. Really enjoy the whole vibe & had a great experience dining here.

My order was around $200, and when it was delivered, it was incorrect and missing several items. I…read moretried calling the restaurant at about 8:50 p.m., just before their 9:00 p.m. closing time. Each time they answered, they immediately hung up. After several attempts, I was finally able to leave a voicemail. It honestly felt like they just sent whatever they had left instead of what I actually ordered. I ordered two family dinners, which each include chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, and beef with broccoli. However, we only received one order of orange chicken instead of two. We also ordered an additional order of chow mein and an order of teriyaki chicken, of which was not included. For such a large order, I expected much better accuracy and customer service. It's especially frustrating that I couldn't get anyone to help resolve the issue before they closed.

The restaurant was so clean and relaxing. Definitely felt comfortable and welcomed. The service was 10/10. We even asked for recommendations and they did not disappoint.

I was craving pho and decided to give Saigon Bento a try. It's a little confusing because there's a Saigon restaurant and then there's this place, Saigon Bento. There's also a Saigon Bento #2. Apparently Saigon restaurant has been around for forever and is highly recommended, but was much farther, so I decided to come here instead. I honestly just like the meatballs in my pho and they were able to accommodate just this instead of their other preset dishes. It was good and packaged well for takeout! It was ready super quickly!

Let's start with the pho, since that's technically what's advertised: the noodles here have given…read moreup on life before they even reach your bowl. Somewhere between the kitchen and the table they experience a full existential crisis and dissolve into a noodle-flavored fog. You don't eat this pho so much as you drink it with regret. Then there's the robot. I want to be clear: the robot is trying its best. But a robot is not a coworker, it's a Roomba with delusions of grandeur, and pairing it with exactly one (1) visibly overwhelmed human does not equal "efficient staffing," it equals "understaffed with extra steps." I've seen this establishment's entire org chart and it's one guy and a trash can with wheels. The Vietnamese coffee and salted cold foam, though? Genuinely incredible. Immaculate. The only reason my card has ever been charged here more than once. I racked up a small fortune in reward points on the strength of that coffee alone -- and then went to redeem them, only to discover the website has apparently also fallen into a noodle-textured crisis and is completely down. So now I have points sitting there like Monopoly money for a bank that closed. Great coffee. Great foam. Genuinely inspired idea for a business. Just... catastrophically executed, like someone had a beautiful vision of a pho franchise and then handed the keys to a single tired employee and his robot intern. America needs a real pho franchise. This is not it.

My oldest son works nearby this place so he grabbed us some food and I actually liked the flavor;…read morehowever, as I start to get to the bottom of the bowl the rice is filled up with oil. They didn't even drain the oil, my bowl was literally super heavy from the amount of oil on the bottom of the bowl. My son said he goes here often so he thinks it's because it was the end of the night... sorry but that's not an excuse, that's lazy. I would love to come back and give this place another shot because flavor was good and I'm hoping it's what my son said and that they are not usually like that. I also think this brand is a chain restaurant so it's weird to me that they would be putting out this type of product, unless it's like McDonald's and owned individually with their own set of rules. In any case, I'll probably give it another try one day... just not in the near future. Any time I pass by I don't see this place that busy, but Panda Express is literally right there so maybe people would rather go to Panda. Parking is a little crazy sometimes since the parking area near this establishment is small and there's a lot of other restaurants nearby. I definitely think you should check it out for yourself, but this is not for me.

Good portions and out quickly.

There were plastic chairs and tables. Plenty of seating available. People seemed to trickle in around the early evening. When I walked in they didn't have a line, so there was no wait. I ordered the Shrimp Spring Rolls (with Beef) that was on their menu board. I think it was deli meat, which was ok, but not what I had expected. Tasted how you imagine. Even though I had it packaged "to-go," I chose to eat it inside while I waited on my friend to arrive. The lady behind the counter was very attentive and when she saw my sauce was low, she offered to refill it. I do wish the sauce had a stronger peanut flavor. Overall, it was decent.

One thing I noticed was the mix of different tables and chairs throughout the restaurant. It almost feels like a hodgepodge of furniture, but somehow it works and fits the contemporary vibe rather than feeling out of place. The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. We received our food surprisingly fast, which was a nice bonus. There was a mistake with one of our rolls, but the staff handled it well. They quickly remade the roll and brought us a replacement at no charge, which I really appreciated. One of the highlights was a custom roll with jalapeño, avocado, and asparagus. I added cream cheese and had it deep fried, and it honestly tasted like a sushi version of a jalapeño popper. It was absolutely amazing and something I would order again in a heartbeat. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Good food, good service, reasonable prices, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely recommend giving Kuma Sushi a try.

Had ordered from the restaurant before on DoorDash and this time I decided to pop in. I was…read morepleasantly surprised at how cute the space is. The parking is a bit of a challenge right now due to the construction in downtown. However, there is a lot right next to them that you can park in and there is also parking on the street directly in front of their door. The restaurant is modern and decorated in Asian theme. The bathroom and the restaurant is very clean. And the staff was very attentive, professional, and very pleasant. I enjoyed the food I ordered via DoorDash, but this time I got it fresh right out of the kitchen and the counter, and it was amazing. We started with the jalapeño bomb, and mixed tempura in a size small. Both those appetizers were delicious and perfect for sharing. Then we ordered a California roll on soy paper, the Kuma special sushi roll, and the creamy salmon roll. Everything was fresh and very shareable. We could've easily shared our meal with two other people needless to say we had leftovers to take home. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to going back. There are other things on the menu such as fried rice, udon, and teriyaki plates. They also had a couple of desserts, so I am definitely planning on trying one of those. Enjoy!

I ordered the sweet and spicy chicken bowl, which was about all I could have there due to my specific food allergy. The food took a long time to make. That's understandable since they are making fresh food. It's just not as convenient for a quick bite. But the meal was very good and very fresh. I just wish there were more choices that were allergy friendly. I don't fault them on that, it's just limiting to me personally. I really liked what I got and will likely go again.
