Some of the best Vietnamese I have had that is on par with any restaurant. I tried their pork and their chicken. The rice was also excellent and all the condiments you would expect. I mean, nobody plans on going to the medical center to have lunch, but if you were looking for something quick and easy, it was very good. Fair portions for the price and there are plenty of places to sit around the level. I'm not sure if this is related to the Sagan palace restaurant over in Edgewater, but if it is, I will give that another try as well. Soups were gumbo and chili. Both looked homemade. Also many grab and go items like sushi, sandwiches, drinks and chips.

After seeing reviews for Saigon Palace, I thought that their Phó would be a great deal better than…read morebland and boring - yet that is what it was. There really wasn't much to it for flavor, but was certainly filled with plenty of noodles - anyone can do that. There are many Phó choices on the menu, and that's always nice. However out of all the combinations of protein, I chose the seafood combination. It is pricier than the usual beef, tripe et al, which I wouldn't have minded, IF the dish itself was commensurate with the additional price. Instead, hugely disappointingly, the large bowl (seafood Phó doesn't have a "small" selection as do all the others) had ONLY 2 shrimp, 1 piece of squid, and 1 muscle, and 1 tiny scallop (yet I only spotted that because I was looking) amongst the bland broth and lots and lots of noodles. Someone has noted on the cover page of at least one site that Saigon Palace is the best Phó in the area, yet I am hoping that is not so. Unless the bar has been lowered so far, I am hoping there must be better Phó out there.

From the moment I walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without feeling overbearing. I stopped by for a weekend lunch and ordered the #38 cold noodle dish with beef and shrimp, and it absolutely delivered. The noodles were refreshing and perfectly balanced, while the combination of beef and shrimp made the dish surprisingly hearty without feeling heavy. Every bite tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. I also ordered the jasmine iced tea, which was easily one of the best parts of the meal. It had the perfect level of sweetness -- light, smooth, and incredibly refreshing. Overall, this spot exceeded my expectations. Simple setting, outstanding food, and excellent service. I'll definitely be making my way back here very soon.

Most places that I've tried their gravy isn't as tasty as Jack's. It was enjoyable Sunday lunch and they were so kind to wrap up my leftovers. With my check, I was given a fortune cookie, which was a treat as always!

If I could improve anything it would be the smell when I first walked in (it was fine but kinda like huh, but then I forgot about it.) The second thing I might change is the portion size.

Which is wild, because I know I've taken a bunch of food pics here that I've never posted... complete waste lol. We walked in and were seated immediately and ended up getting the second-to-last available booth. Most of the room was couples on lunch dates, plus a group of friends, and later a party of about 7 took over one of the tables. Noise level was mostly moderate, with a quick sprinkle of loud when that bigger group got going, but nothing crazy, still totally fine for a date or a relaxed lunch. My wife ordered the A2 (slices of eye of round steak, well-done flank, and soft tendon). I got the A6 (eye of round steak and soft tendon). The pho was good, the broth had a lot of flavor. I did order extra noodles because while I like the pho here, the portions are a little smaller compared to some other spots we go to. I loaded mine up with bean sprouts, tore up some basil, and let the jalapeños sit in the bowl for a bit for heat. Lately though, I've been more about the chili oil, which they'll bring out if you ask. We also got shrimp summer rolls, which are always a go-to for me when eating pho anywhere. These were fresh, great texture, and the basil really pops. The peanut sauce is one of the best parts. Honestly, I could come here just for the summer rolls and that sauce. I also grabbed a taro smoothie, lightly sweet and creamy, solid choice. Food came out fast, maybe 8 minutes after ordering. Service here is consistently good. The staff is friendly, not pushy at all, and they actually check in on you without hovering. You can always get someone's attention if you need something. They even let a couple move from a table to a booth once one opened up, which I thought was a nice touch. The place itself is very clean, the tables and floors are always well kept. I don't really remember music, but there was a TV on playing college basketball. Overall vibe is relaxed. Parking can be a little tight since it's tucked behind a Rita's and the layout is kind of awkward, but even when it's full you're not walking far, just a compact lot. Price-wise, our total was about $40, but that included an extra summer roll and an extra smoothie. Without the extras, it would've been under $30. My only real critique is portion size for the price, specifically with the pho. It's not a deal breaker, but it's why this isn't my go-to spot when I'm really hungry. I'm a big guy with a big appetite -- my wife would be fine eating here any day of the week. Would I come back? Yeah. The food is good and the service is solid. For me, this is more of a quick lunch spot or a stop when I'm on the move, rather than a full dinner destination. Consistent, reliable, and never a bad choice, just depends on how hungry you are.
