I really like the tofu steak, the shredded tofu over rice noodles (with many vegetables), the crispy roasted chicken, the shaking beef, and the crispy vegetarian rolls. I like their pho as well, but the tofu steak is so delicious, I hardly ever deviate. I appreciate their tea options which are served in a pot. I usually get a pot of ban shan tea which is very calming. The space is neat and clean. The ambiance is created by the people more so than the decor. When you look around, people are just enjoying their food and each other. Those, like me, sitting solo, are eating our meals like it is satisfying more than physical hunger. I am truly grateful Saigon Spring and those who make it so special are here.

After finishing an overnight shift, I just wanted something soothing to recharge before heading back to work, and that first spoonful of broth hit the spot. Walking into the restaurant felt like stepping back in time -- I used to come here nearly a decade ago when it was a small mom-and-pop shop. It's now under new ownership. The decor was familiar, but certainly upgraded! I was pleasantly surprised to find the pho still warm, flavorful, and satisfying. That said, the vermicelli left me wanting a bit more, and the fish sauce on the side was thinner than I hoped for -- missing that bold, tangy kick that usually ties the whole dish together. Still, the pho alone is reason enough for me to come back.

If a viet restaurants spring rolls are good, that means their food is obviously good as well! The skin was crispy and more doughy so I really like it! My partner got the grilled beef slices over rice and he really enjoyed it as well. He usually doesn't like Vietnamese food but he gave this a thumbs up! Van's also very generous with the portion! I got the Bun Bo Hue. I like how they wrapped the beef separately when they gave the takeout. The noodles were the perfect thicc noodles that I like. The soup was good however it's not as spicy as other BBH's are. But still good!

They filled our water glasses without asking and checked in on us to ensure a good experience. They have a wine menu too. It was so hard to choose! We started with two apps to share-summer rolls and spring rolls. They come with pickled veggies and dipping sauces. The summer rolls were fresh and fat! The spring rolls had a little different coating but they were good and crunchy. I had the grilled chicken with crushed peanuts and vermicelli. The chicken was a nice big charbroiled chicken breast perfectly cooked! The presentation was so colorful! Enough for a few meals. They do have a fruit fly problem. That was a bit annoying. Other than that it was a great experience and a good meal! Apps, drinks and meals for three was under $140.

There were communal tables and chairs lined up near the garage doors. Plus, more lounge seating with couches. The bar was small with about 6-8 stools for seating. Menu-wise, they offer a bunch of great small plate options. It's all Asian inspired foods - we ordered the crab Rangoons which is made from real crab. None of that imitation crab here! For drinks, we both started with the poison flower which was a vodka and hibiscus based drink. It was perfect for me and I ended up having 3! The Old Fashioned was excellent. I'd come back again but will wait until the summertime when they have their lot open with outdoor seating.

I ordered the #1 which was their special sandwich with a few meats such as pate, bbq pork, jambon and some other items in it. Also the #3 grilled beef and scallion sandwich along with a Vietnamese iced and hot coffee with condensed milk. The sandwich baguettes were fresh and quite good. I am big on condiments and both sandwiches did have mayo and veg but a little on the skimpier side. They were tasty don't get me wrong but I will ask for add ons next time for extra meat and veg filling. Also, heavier on the house made mayo too. The iced coffee was good as well but not as strong as what I'm accustomed to in sweetness and coffee flavor. Service here is good and the wait wasn't too long. A nice lunch option as they have a number of sandwiches that I would definitely try!
