I'm sorry to say I was disappointed. The din of noise on a Sunday evening made conversation impossible. The booth bench cushions must have been sat on too many times and it was crowded toward the table to make way for a passageway. I can't complain about the service, but the food left something to be desired. My dish was heavy on what they call rice noodles (that's pasta) with some sauce and short on chicken, shrimp, etc. My companion did better with lighter dish. I should have looked at the online photos for a better choice. Maybe I'll give them a second chance with a luncheon special. read more

This is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant that I've ever been to honestly. I've been going here for over 10 years! Every time I'm in the area I go here. I love their expansive menu - it's so fun to try something new! The vermicelli noodle bowls are delicious! Also the pho and the pho saté. I love their avocado smoothies as well. I wish I could take this restaurant with me wherever I go. read more

Miss Saigon - 68. Bánh Hòi fresh wraps and Pad Thai - Vietnamese Near Me - Amherst, Massachusetts

This has been my go to place for years! Always happy with food and service. The food typically comes out quite quickly even though they have an extensive menu and it's typically packed. Highly recommend! Reasonable prices to boot to cater to the college community. The restaurant business is tough so I encourage those who have complaints to reach out to the sweet hard working owner as opposed to giving a less than 4 star review..... read more

Wow!! Thankfully there is a restaurant that sells Vietnamese cuisine in Amherst. Dinner at this place is just as great as reviews say! The broth looked and tasted fresh, and the meatballs were great! The fried dumplings hits home too. The boba balls were the thing I wasn't too fond of-- not sweet or hard. Nice staff and does a great job adhering to covid guidelines ! read more

We got takeout. Dumplings and noodles. Both delicious. Love this place. Not accessible however. We do takeout only. Great Hadley option.

Had lunch today after not having eaten here in years. Prices were very reasonable, so I can see why this place is so popular. My dish (chicken and veggies in a ginger sauce) was fine but way too salty for me. read more

Chicken pho is fire, love the vibes, staff is always pleasant and prompt. Coconut milkshake is my fav for sure

The pho here is excellent! I think that if they cut down on the menu items, the rest of their items could enjoy the same level of excellence. The crispy wontons, egg rolls and dumplings could use some more attention. And please clean the condiment bottles before you close each night so the lunch customers the next morning don't have to see crusty sauce all over the bottle tips. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Friday lunch hour with my wife. Parking lot behind the restaurant, as street parking is few and on a busy avenue. Lot is metered, but you need to know your license plate number to apply the credit. Of course, it was raining and I did not know my plate number and had to run back. Place was crowded, mostly college students were servers. Packed with students, workers, families. We had a nice pot of tea, glasses of water and each of us had a beef pho lunch special and shared a banh mi sandwich with cold sliced pork. The beef pho was a good lunch portion, nice and hot on a rainy day. Plate of bean sprouts, basil and hot peppers. Good flavor, but the broth needed a little more beefy taste. Noodles were good and the portion was plentiful. The sandwich had a nice crusty roll, flavorful carrots, daikon, but the meat was just okay. Great lunch overall, not the best we have had, but definitely good on a cold rainy day and convenient to the campus. We hope to stop again. read more

My favorite restaurant anywhere. Love the staff, love how fast it is in and out. It's affordable and has generous portions. Excellence dietary options for everyone. I am vegan and my favorite is the #33 with curry broth! I've forgotten they are closed Mondays more times than I care to admit... but I live in VT now and still come down regularly to patronize this amazing place. I've been coming here for twelve years and EVERY VISIT IS EXCELLENT. I lived in Vietnam for three months, so really appreciate having this gem in the area. read more

YES! Anything I got there was an A, or at least a B+ So yes, college kids packed restaurant got it right! Last time, ordered twice in 1 day, because I live kinda far. Pork buns (generally don't love this dish) were good, pork dumplings - good, spring rolls - meh, drunken noodles - yup, spicy kimchi & curry soups - double yum. Cons - you need to ask for to-go utensils. I used to be picky eater and normally I'd say, wait a minute, why are they serving drunken noodles at a Vietnamese restaurant. But... oh well. Keep on cooking delicious food! read more

I have been coming here for many years but recently eaten in for the first time due to the epidemic! I just wanted to say the food is better than ever! The Pho is to die for! It has the perfect amount of meat, veggies and seasoning. The Thai iced tea is quenching, refreshing and well balanced. The banh mi is as good as ever! I will definitely be back soon! Thank you for the great food and service! read more

When I was going to Umass, I'd make sure to pick up some food here almost every weekend. The atmosphere is great, the servers are all nice, and the food is reliably delicious and priced fairly. Definitely pick up their chicken pho sate as it's a fusion dish that you can't find at any other pho spot! When I'm in the area nowadays, I always make a point to stop by. read more

Vegetable broth for #33 was flavorless. However they did not skimp in vegetables. Steamed shrimp dumplings were delicious and had a powerful shrimp flavor. Peanut sauce with udon noodles and vegetables (off menu) also quite delicious. Service is great the servers are awesome. It can be slow sometimes because it seems this place is never not busy. Prices are adequate. A pleasant meal. Cheers. read more

I'm fussy when it comes to eating. So glad we tried this little gem ! Inexpensive and the food is so good! We now have another favorite restaurant on the way to VT and stop on the way back home. Ivy our waitress is awesome too. Very enjoyable. A+++ read more

I go here every time I feel homesick. Great food and service! The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with beautiful decor.

Miss Saigon is conveniently located near Amherst College and UMass at Amherst. Very ideal for students and residents are alike. In fact, one of the students recommended we go here for Vietnamese food and it was definitely worthwhile at this location. The pho was good but they were little bit sparing on the meatballs and rare steak. The Vietnamese rolls with shrimp were delicious. I felt that the chicken satay was okay but not great. They did not put enough marination on the chicken. The peanut sauce was much more natural tasting than sweet. My durian shake was fantastic... In fact, this was my favorite. Please note, this is not a drink for everyone.If you like smelly fruit that tastes like cream cheese and onions then you will like this... No joke. read more

Always amazing and authentic. We order as much as we can possibly eat each time!! It's very very good.

This is my favorite restaurant in Amherst, been coming here since my freshman year of college!! I always get the same thing, bun bo hue aka middle vietnam! The noodle is not your regular pho noodle, and the broth is super flavorful! If you like spicy food, definitely try this out! The service is also always so good, their so friendly! So it's such a homey place to be to get a nice hot bowl of noodle soup... yum read more

My daughter and I ordered the vegetarian Pho soup. Plenty of fresh vegetables the broth was very good.- perfectly seasoned. - 5 stars The portion was smaller than what I've had at other Vietnamese restaurants. I also had the Vietnamese pancake which was ok. The pancake was over cooked and dry. My friends who is Vietnamese makes a much better version.- 3 stars I will definitely try this place again when I visit my daughter in Amherst and will try their other dishes. read more

This place is probably one of my favorite places in Amherst town center. It's always busy with long lines on the weekends, and for the price the food does not disappoint. They have all sorts of dishes with generous portions and they also offer a variety of boba choices. Although I've been playing it safe and have been consistently getting pho for the past two years, I've been starting to branch out and try new things. Of those things, my new favorite is the braised pork with a bowl of warm rice. The staff is nice and friendly, and the bathroom is also very well kept. No particular complaints about either one. read more

Everything was delicious, matcha milkshake is incredible and the BBQ Pork Banh Mi (not pictured) was perfect for two people to split as a complement to the giant soup bowls (fabulous for rainy day weather).

I love how the Lemongrass Tofu Vermicelli is filled with a lot of good vegetables. the sauce is very delicious, and the tofu tastes really good as it absorbs the sauce. Finally found a tasty alternative to the meat version of Lemongrass Vermicelli (bun thit nuong)! The tofu & avocado spring rolls are delicious, especially when dipped into the peanut sauce or fish sauce. The tofu and avocado are a little bland so it would be great if they were marinated in some sauce before put in the roll. It'd also be great if the peanut sauce was less sweet. The vegetarian Pho (I didnt take a photo of it) has good broth, but the veggies are very undercooked, which disappoints me :( The durian sweet rice is the best dessert I've ever had at a Vietnamese restaurant. If only the serving could be larger haha! read more

This is how you do Pho! Very authentic, prices very reasonable. Just wish they were closer to Vermont.

I honestly go here ALL THE TIME with my friends. If we worked a hard day and are craving something nice and savory...MISS SAIGON is the go-to. It's the OG spot to eat with a group of people. This place is already pretty popular so if you go during a main meal time then expect some sort of wait time. The longest we've waited was 30 minutes for 3 people so far. My suggestion for this place is to definitely get pho. For the amount you pay, it is a good price and very filling. The most solid one is #25 but every single pho bowl I've had has been pretty good. Some of the appetizers are okay but the carb rangoon and spring rolls are always yummy! I have also ordered off the chef's special and the dishes(usually meat) they serve are a reasonable size but its just the normal good asian food you would expect. Nothing too special. The pad thai is good too! In terms of service, the waitresses are usually very nice but there's so few of them that they're constantly all over the restaurant. So it may be a little hard for you to get their attention or for them to remember every single thing you ordered. (This only happened once but they messed up our order/forgot to bring out a dish). So please be understanding because they are so busy. read more

Very good Vietnamese food in large portions at the always bustling restaurant. Service is rapid and cheerful.

Miss Saigon is the most authentic pho I've had out in the Amherst area. This is probably a place that I've eaten at most during my time attending UMass for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, the food is always amazing. The pho isn't as good as you could get in Boston, but for Western MA I'm always impressed by the flavor and portion sizes of the meals. My favorite is definitely the number 25, the Miss Saigon pho, but I also like to switch it up between the flank, rare beef pho (27) and rare beef with meatball pho (31). I've never been disappointed with my food! Second, I've always had good experiences with the waitstaff who are always attentive and friendly. Oftentimes there is a wait at the front to be seated, but the staff is always there within a few minutes to take names and I've noticed that the line usually moves pretty quickly, as there is a fast turnover rate of tables. I think this is a testament to how smoothly this restaurant is run. Lastly, the location is very convenient. Being in downtown, you could simply walk from campus, take the buses to downtown which are located only a minute's walk from the restaurant, and there is a large parking lot directly behind the restaurant. You do have to pay for parking, however this lot takes cards as well as cash, and you don't need to pay on Sundays or after 6pm. Overall, Miss Saigon is one of my favorite places to eat in downtown Amherst! read more

I had a decent experience my first time here in September! The food is very good and the owner was super down-to-earth. I thought the restaurant was very clean and that the service was pretty personable. I just wish that they were more attentive but I know they're doing their best during large crowds. Aside from that, the only thing I have to comment about is their pricing, I always feel like they're a little bit overpriced for everything but that's because I have actually experienced cheaper, and better Viet food at other places. I suppose that's what happens when you dine at one of the only yummy Viet restaurants in the middle of a college campus. read more

Lovely eggrolls! They took us in late at night while short-staffed so very accommodating service. I always get the rare beef pho, but the beef was fully cooked for some reason (the other few times that I ordered it to go the meat was packed rare). Overall really nice experience read more

Great food and really reasonable prices. Love the bahn mi and the lemongrass dishes.o

We came here for dinner after a night of the hot tubs in Amherst. Had heard a lot about this spot over the years but had never checked it out before. So glad we did! We got our server's suggestions on apps-- and she did not steer us wrong! Dumplings on dumplings and green papaya salad. We each got soup, the pho was great and I loved the Bánh canh cua. It is a rare find to find this annatto seed + crab and pork broth. It was on point. Would recommend coming here again to everyone in the area to get your Vietnamese fix. read more

We've been long-time customers and have loved everything we've ordered. The service is great -- very friendly and fast. It's quite busy when colleges are in session, but they keep up somehow. Everything is flavorful and fresh -- delicious broth, as others have said. The restaurant is often packed with customers -- great vibe all around. Very clean and organized. read more

Love Miss Saigon. They have great hearty pho when you're feeling blue, or down with a cold and need a hot bowl of soup to warm you up... It beats the pho that you get even at UMass Dining. The broth just tastes different, like it was stewed for several hours. The owner and waitresses were all very nice from what I recall when I came here frequently during college. Portion sizes are good, prices are right so that you're full and satisfied after your meal. Never had an issue with quality or consistency. Basil leaves, lime, and mung bean sprouts were always fresh which is a plus when you're eating pho. read more

I come here often with friends as it is cheap and quick and the only vietnamese resturant in this town . Services vary and time for food also varies. Dishes I recommend is ... - Chicken Wings - Crab Rangoon - Miss Saigon Pho ( Pho Dac Biet ) - Egg Noodle Chicken Soup ( Mi Ga ) - Crab Noodle Soup ( Bun Rieu ) - Seafood Noodle ( Hieu Tieu Hai San ) - Classic Rice with choice of meat ( Com Suon ) Many of my friends enjoy their vermicelli noodle, however, I have yet to try it. Hope to try many more dishes soon. read more

my favorite place to eat in downtown amherst! the vibe is very homey and it tends to get packed in the evenings on any day (especially weekends). the food is pretty good too- i'm vietnamese and i'm from boston so i am pretty critical of viet restaurants lol but this place is good! not the best but def still good. my go to's are 31 pho w meatballs and flank, bun rieu, spicy crab rangoon, or avocado shake! the thai tea is premade and it can be a little too sweet, but i buy that occasionally too. i'm not a big fan of the rice but my friends love it! the waiters are nice and service is decent. they don't take reservations so be prepared to wait a bit on busy nights! read more

After walking around, my family and I decided to stop by for some pho. We were seated pretty quickly & ordered the shrimp spring rolls (these were for the family, I never really liked spring rolls in general) and the beef pho. Ok so the pho. The family and I ordered the regular serving size which was perfect! On a separate plate was the standard bean sprouts, jalapeño slices, lime, and basil. The cilantro was found already in the pho. Broth was flavorful and noodles were standard although I had some parts that were undercooked. Also, the beef slices were on the thicker side - hence why this place gets four stars. For a pho place at a college town, it's cheap and satisfies your pho cravings! read more
