My daughter wanted to come to this type of spot for some bubble tea. I usually get pho here but it was a hot spring day, so I decided to switch it up. The area looked cleaner from my last visit where it was a bit dusty. I tried their beef with flat noodles, and let me tell you, it was more delicious than I imagined. The noodles were in a thick flavorful broth with veggies such as broccoli and bean sprouts. The portions are always decent here. Just writing this review makes me want another. My daughter also switched it up with a noodle bowl that was topped with pork chops and spring rolls. The service to get my check to pay my bill was slow today. Well they were busy, so it happens. This is some great authentic Vietnamese food, of course I'll be back. read more

Pho Saigon - Here , in this photo is bean sprouts, green onion, jalapeno, mint leave, lime , chicken , rice noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

I have been eating alot of soup lately. It's just that time of the year. Nothing beats a nice hot and spicey pho with pork, bean sprouts, jalapeños, and mint leaves. Very satisfying especially when feeling under the weather. I also tried a pork bao. It was ok i didn't really like it much but it wasn't bad. The paper it came wrapped in stuck to the bottom of the bao bun and was hard to take off. My wife and I can both enjoy these meals together. The restaurant itself is a bit small. I feel the table set up with condiments and utensil be a bit better presented on the tables. The service was fast and the food was great. I would come back. read more

Overall the quality has deteriorated and this establishment is heading in the wrong direction. There are a few more pho establishments competing within a drivable distance that may have attributed to this decision. It's a business losing sight of authenticity and cutting back aggressively. Competition seems to have made the pho establishments worse versus better in the area. The loss of the only Vietnamese grocery may be a reason as well. The Gỏi cuốn rolls were bland while the peanut sauce was very watery and lack depth of flavors (thankfully the different spices and sauces were available on the table). No more crushed peanuts too. Pho now comes with bean lime, sprouts, basil, and jalapeño. No other herbs throughout the dinner. It was quite noticeable with the Cha Gio served with two small romaine leaves. It was an eating experience that I would never desire to repeat. Hopeful, the owners will turn the place around and offer the variety and authenticity from years ago. read more

In Fairfield County, Vietnamese cuisine is not as plentiful as other asian cuisines, so you really have to dig deep, and go where the Pho is...wherever it is. I recently received a tip from a CT Bites reader that good Pho was to be had in Bridgeport at a small mom & pop restaurant called Pho Saigon. We rallied our enthusiastic tasters and headed out to Iranistan Street in Bridgeport, an area that is definitely "off the beaten path", but you do what you've gotta do for good food. You won't find this place in Zagats. We entered what seemed to be the living room of a small corner house, furnished with gum-ball machines, plastic floral table cloths, and big pots of luke warm tea on the tables. Clearly, dining here was about the food, not the decor. We were greeted warmly, although not in English (which is generally a good sign that the food will be authentic), and escorted to a clean table piled high with squeeze bottles of fiery sauces and jars of fish paste. Lucky for us, the menu had translations, so we ordered half of the 21 item menu (as most dishes were under $7) and waited for the food to arrive. The first dish to show up was hands down my favorite: The Cha Gio (#17 Fried Spring Rolls with lettuce & Fresh Herbs for $6.99 seen above) and it belongs in the "must order" category. It was so good, we actually ordered a second round after the dish had been cleared. I am ordinarily not a fan of deep fried food, but there is a time and a place for everything...this was it. These crispy rolls come with a side of lettuce and a clear sweet tangy sauce for dipping. The proper technique is to wrap the lettuce around the spring roll providing a cool surface for quick grabbing and a great contrast to the warm spring roll. The rolls were dark and crispy, but not greasy, and the filling was a finely minced mixture of pork, shrimp (very kosher), rice vermicelli noodles, and if you looked closely, possibly carrots. Whatever was in there, it was all good. The next to arrive was the non-fried alternative in the rolled appetizer category, the Goi Cuon Tom Thit (Pork and Shrimp with Vermicelli salad Rolls). You've seen these before...Rice wrappers filled with whole shrimp, minced pork anda healthy portion of vermicelli rice noodles, loaded with whole leaves of mint, basil, and cilantro. The flavor of these simply prepared rolls was greatly enhanced by the fresh herbs, and while they were made with very fresh ingredients, they didn't hold a candle to the Fried Spring Rolls. When at last the fragrant Pho Saigon-House (Vietnamese beef noodle soup) made it's appearance on the plastic tablecloth, it came with an entourage. Next to the large steaming bowl came a side dish with great heaping piles of beautiful freshbasil, cilantro, and mint (the Vietnamese herb trifecta). Also in attendance were lime wedges, Thai chiles, bean sprouts, and a deadly looking sauce that we were instructed, through hand gestures, to put into the soup . The beef broth, which can take a full day to make properly, was amazingly aromatic with hints of cinnamon, star anise, and cloves. We had read up on the proper Pho eating technique before we arrived, so we lovingly layered the various elements and thoroughly enjoyed the fragrant broth even after the noodles had been devoured. It is darn good Pho. We couldn't resist ordering the Co'm Suon Bi Cha (Spareribs, Meat Pie, Shredded Pork with Steamed Rice $7.99), just out of "meat pie" curiosity. This came with a preparation for the sparerib that I had never seen previously. It was pounded flat like a cutlet, and came on a bed of white rice. We had a hard time cutting through the sparerib with our chopsticks, but once we managed to dissect it, it had great flavor, although we couldn't quite place the spices and couldn't really ask for assistance due to the language barrier. Unfortunately, I can't say many good things about the Meat Pie which appears elsewhere on the menu. It had several layers of ground meat, held together with a custard-like filler. People did not look happy getting this item down. I'd opt out on our next visit. The spareribs and rice were lovely however. To our great pleasure, The Fried Spring Rolls we so enjoyed also made a appearance in the Bun Cha Gio Thit Nuong (Pork, Shrimp, Spring Rolls with Spicy Noodle). This dish consisted of a giant bowl of fiery noodles, with bite sized pieces of pork and the infamous fried rolls on top. You really have to be a very enthusiastic noodle eater for this one, or pass it around the table as we did, as the portion is quite large. Lastly, we sampled the Mi Xao Don Bo Bien (Seafood with Crispy Fried Noodle) which was the only polarizing dish in the group. We were split 50/50 on the reorder-ability of this one. It had a bed of crispy fried noodles on the bottom, and was covered with calamari, shrimp and broccoli in a thick clear white sauce that was very reminiscent of mainstream Chinese food. Meant to be mixed together such that the fried noodles sof read more

Pho is delicious all fresh ingredients and authenticity. Good food and reasonably priced

Pho Saigon transports you to the far east. The restaurant is modest, it is the guests who quietly enjoy the authentic Vietnamese cuisine that add to a most enjoyable meal. I've been there twice, whenever I'm craving something special I put this place on the top of my list. They also offer takeout. Always good. read more

I'm so happy to finally find an authentic Vietnamese place in CT, so I don't have to go to NYC for a good bowl of pho. The pho is really delicious and VERY cheap. $8 for medium, $9 for large. The owners are super nice. They do close early though. We went on a Sunday and it's closed by 7pm. read more

Pho Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

We used to love coming to this place but it is NOT what it used to be. We went a couple of months ago at the beginning of the summer and we left feeling a little sick to our stomach. The fried rice that my husband always gets was extremely greasy and the portion size was half the size of what it used to be. Today I ordered the chicken pho and it was so greasy and had a really bad taste. The chicken looked like the rotisserie chicken you get at Costco and just shredded, except it was a few days old. It has a strange smell as well. The Thai tea was good in itself but when I got to the boba part I spit it out. It was mushy and absolutely disgusting. I'm disappointed to say we will not be coming back again. It's sad because it used to be a go to spot and We spent a good amount of money for it just to be trashed. read more

Small little restaurant on the corner of wood ave. I love Pho so much my friend recommended me to come here. Food was amazing, they already had so many great reviews I had to see for myself and they did not disappoint. Very casual place, I got the chicken Pho. This dish was packed with flavor and tasted amazing with every bite. When talking to the owners they say they don't fry any of their food so this also offers a healthy option for places to go. Food was awesome, if you like Pho this is a must visit. read more

Simply delicious food and great service, can't get enough of this service is nice, food is always fresh and on point.

We ordered a chicken noodle soup, a house special combo noodle soup, chicken fried rice, summer roll and Thai ice tea. Food appears to be authentic in that they looked like how a Vietnamese family would have prepared them. Prices are very reasonable and that is a great draw. There are many patrons here! read more

So frickin' good! My friend had a craving for pho and I figured I'd tag along....and down he brought me to my high school roots. Hello, Bridgeport. Just like everyone else...tiny little hole in the wall and located pretty much in someone's house. But the pho...the pho is delicious. My friend stuck with the traditional pho on this trip and I opted for tofu in a peanut sauce. His pho was perfect-great beef and very flavorful! Loved my peanut sauce...had just enough heat. I will definitely be heading back here. For those of you who think it's in a "shady" neighborhood...it's really not that bad. The food is so worth it. read more

I love the food. The staff is amazing. I definitely recommend going. The pho is delicious.

Hole In wall but the best pho ever! I go often! Great price and authentic. Highly recommend.

If you get a "good batch" the food is absolutely amazing. They don't charge you for extra noodles and that really helps with the portion size. You'll definitely leave full after order a large w/extra noodles at $9. Great price!! I know people who come here more religiously, and the food isn't always consistent. My friend always describes good vs bad batches meaning the flavor of the broth itself. I can definitely say the place needs a facelift. I was hesitant to eat here, even with multiple recommendations, because it's a bit dirty and the staff lacks customer service. But, it's one of the best pho places I've had. read more

Pho Saigon - beef brisket pho - large w/spicy sauce - Vietnamese Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

A fellow Yelper promised the pho would cure all ills, so a dry cough and general malaise provided the impetus to try some. The clientele was a mix of Caucasian and African American, unlike the crowd of mostly Asians eating at Pho Hong Thom down the street. The beef pho hit the spot, with plenty of fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, and delicious broth, but I had to approach the kitchen to re-request my tapioca tea (with black pearls - interesting!). There was no, "How is everything?" second visit. Visually I'm still bothered by the detritus in the baseboard radiator and the crooked and dusty front window blind. How would a health inspector have reacted? But as mama always says, feed a cold, so it worked for me. read more

Pho Saigon in Bridgeport, CT is located in what looks like an old house. The inside is bare -- nothing special, however, the food here is excellent. Very very excellent. The bad: The service here needs some serious help. No one at this store was friendly at all, no smiles, nothing. I don't need to be pampered, but a simple hello at any point in conversation with a waiter/waitress is good for business. Tip: come here expecting 0 friendly service and you won't be disappointed. read more

I don't know what changed here, but things have gone way downhill since I last visited years back. Trust me when I say I'm used to no frill Asian places (ie. Chinatown, etc) I know there won't be great attitudes/service and that turnover is usually the goal. I'm completely fine with that. As long as food is good, I usually don't judge too much when it comes to that. But wow, this place takes it to another level. Maybe we just came on a really bad off day?! But it took several minutes of waiting before they even noticed us (place is small and wasn't too busy when we came). No hellos, no smiles, no nothing.. the lady looked like she HATED life and was the most unfriendly person I've encountered in awhile. We ordered 4 dishes and after waiting for about 30 minutes, only 2 dishes came out with no regards to the rest of our order. I went up to the counter to ask the college (?) looking cashier and she too looked like she could give a shit less about being there. No apologies or anything, just a really cold look and off she went to put the rest in the our order in. By this time I'm hangry and just want to get out as fast as I can. Now here comes the food part. I would've possibly overlooked the service but the food was at best mediocre, but mostly just bad. We ordered bun thit nuong cha gio, banh xeo, and com suong bi cha. The bun wasn't terrible but didn't stand out by any means. Saving grace was the accompanying nuoc mam which was fishy and spicy, just how I like it. The banh xeo was decent and probably be best of the bunch. But seriously, DON'T get the com suong bi cha. I've had it several times at other places and this one was poorly executed. They gave a giant heaping of rice, the smallest portion of meat/egg casserole, barely any veggies, and a piece of rock hard pork laying on top looking like some overdone steak. When I say rock hard, I'm not exaggerating- my sisters bf struggled to cut through it with a knife and said it was incredibly tough and flavorless. At this point we were so annoyed that we just finished and went to pay (which ended up being me going up to the counter since no one checked on us in that hour plus span). Only plus is that the prices are reasonable and includes tax in it already. But seriously, do yourself a favor and stay far away from this place. Instead, go right across the street to Pho Hong Thom. It's x100 better than this place, cheaper, friendlier, and delicious. Honestly not sure how this place even has 4 stars, and I've been to a bunch of Vietnamese restaurants.... read more

I'm not sure if this place deserves 1 star. The ONLY positive thing might be the cheap price for a bowl of pho... But everything else screams negative. 1. Service = horrible. No greeting, just seat yourself and find one worker throw the menus down at you. You also might have to scream to grab the check. 2. Pho = poorly seasoned. I'm very sure they don't use a genuine broth but try to mask it with some seasoning and pepper. 3. Summer rolls = terrible. The skin was either old or just not right. It was hard to bite into and was filled with romaine lettuce stems. 4. Ambience = dirty. The utensils are hidden in a dirty silver container. The clock doesn't work. Some of the condiment containers looked rusted and old. Word to newcomers: don't expect much from this restaurant. If you're looking for a cheap bowl of mediocre pho, go ahead. But if you're looking for a nice place with good food and service, check other places in Fairfield. read more

Certainly not a fancy place, but the service is fast and the food is consistently delicious.
