    Grilled shrimp spring roll
    Loriyon J.

    Pretty good pho and grilled shrimp spring rolls. Staff was nice & friendly, and the restaurant was clean. One of my coworkers & I stopped by for the first time on our lunch break and enjoyed some veggie pho

    It was my first visit at Pho Saigon and everything was amazing!!The fried rice was so good! Can't wait to try more dishes here in my next visit!

    I really love this place. This place serving really good beef stew and other soups. I highly recommend you to give it a try

    I love this place. Serving a good soups in town, good service. This place make me feel home.

    Pork Bun.   Ordered charbroiled pork but received grizzly  beef.  Didn't taste fresh.  Threw it in the garbage

    Ordered thru DoorDash. Food most disappointing. Did not taste fresh. Ordered pork but got beef. Been enjoying Vietnamese for 40+ years but will NEVER get food thru Pho Saigon again. It looked good but tasted nasty. Threw it into the garbage.

    Pho #18 tai(rare meat) tendon brisket; add chicken meat to it =divine

    Got the #18 pho and add chicken meat to it trust me you gotta do it. But I gotta say by far the best Pho in the Louisiana. Love the broth. I asked for the small sauce bowl to put my hoisin in so I can drink this amazing broth at the very end without ruining it. Move here from Dallas and I used to drive to Arlington which was a hour away from where Iived to get some good pho you can call me a "Phonatic" 10/10 Service was excellent; seems like mom and pops shop so kinda reminds me of home. Southern viet comfort food lololol Y'all got in my feels

    I almost missed the place because of the terrible traffic on Highway 190. The parking lot was also extremely crowded even though the restaurant itself wasn't, as the neighboring restaurant overflows into Saigon's parking area. Leaving back out onto Hwy 190 was risky and you should just wait for a large gap before attempting to leave the lot. I ordered the combination Pho with no meat ball and extra tripe. Mung beans, cilantro and basil along with a slice of lime and jalapeño slices accompanied. The broth was strong with star anise, for which I was not prepared. It was quite strong but still tasty. The tendon and tripe were nicely cooked and there was plenty in the soup. I couldn't finish it all there was so much. On a whim I ordered a pork Banh mi to go. Man was it good. Cilantro, cucumber and carrot made for a fresh crunch. A light dressing of hoisin sauce and the chewy bun made it perfect. Price was very reasonable. Service was great. I'll be back when I am in the area again. I might even make a detour on the way through the area just to stop in.

    Pho Cong in Covington was absolutely delicious. The food was incredibly flavorful, and the broth…read morewas hands-down amazing--rich, comforting, and clearly made with care. I ordered the combination plate, and it was worth every penny with generous portions and great variety. The building itself is small and tucked away in a shopping center, but it was packed to the brim when we visited, I can absolutely see why it's such a popular spot. Our waitress was very helpful and kind; although she seemed quite busy and a bit less attentive at times, she came by as much as she could. Overall, the food alone makes this place a must-visit, and I'll definitely be back.

    Pho Cong had been in my bookmarks for awhile, so while on a recent trip to NOLA, I took a detour to…read moresee what the most hyped business on the north shore was all about. Their success in the form of local accolades are never-ending, along with countless high ratings across several platforms. My first impression was slightly underwhelming but I have no regrets and I certainly appreciate the effort. The place is family run and located in a strip mall with a handful of tables with a busy crowd of folks at any point of the week. There are a handful of group-friendly tables inside, along with a couple of tables outside. I came during their lunch rush, which resulted in a bit of a wait. When finally seated, I admired the hordes of staff going in and out of the kitchen, along with the waitresses handling groups of all sizes with ease. I ordered a good variety of food to make sure I didn't miss much. In addition to a combination pho dac biet ($17), bo vien ($14) and pho ga with banh mi combo ($18), I also ordered their coconut butterfly shrimp ($7), off menu crispy noodle bird's nest ($16.50), and a plate of fries ($5) for good measure. I noticed a lot of the food skewed on the sweeter side. The pho broth was good overall, but was still a tinge sweet. I was hoping for heartier cuts of the tendon and brisket, but it was a modest portion at best. The sweetness also applied to the sauce in the crispy bird's nest noodle, which reminded me of something I'd find in an American Chinese spot with the stir fry and overall presentation. While I was happy with the bread of the banh mi, the spicy mayo spread (?) threw me off a bit. I was hoping for pate and butter, but that may have to be a request-onyl thing. I started to realize that from the majority of the patrons, the semi-high prices, and the description-first format of the menu (#1), that it's likely that the place was really molding to the westernized palate. It makes sense in a place like Covington, which is not the same Vietnamese scene as say Houston. It also makes sense to have some non- Viet staff to make the place as approachable as possible. And regarding the staff, they were the best part of the experience. Everyone was incredibly friendly and did a good job of keeping the place clean and orderly (#2), while making sure everyone left with a smile on their face. They've clearly done an outstanding job since their start a handful of years ago. I think for folks who are clearly more adept in Vietnamese cuisine, should ensure they know what they're getting into prior to taking the leap. I would never rule out of a future return, but I think I'd have to already be in Covington and to make sure to taper my expectations. __________ (#1) "Vietnamese po-boy" for banh mi, "chunky beef" for bo luc lac, etc (#2) Especially the bathrooms. Only thing missing are paper towels.

My buddy and his wife asked me out to dine - I had my heart set on some pho, but when I got here, I had a hankering for vermicelli. I like mine with egg roll AND grilled pork - if you haven't done it, do it - for real. The presentation was different from what I was used to - a flatter, wider bowl, the pork thin sliced, almost julienned, but everything was fresh - crunchy where it was supposed to be, hot and charred/fried when needed, and it really hit the spot. Fish sauce and a generous serving of sriracha, and I was home. Steve's wife got the dumplings, and he had a giant plate of something or other with soup, but he also polished off some of Alicia's food while we were there. I remember this dude from college - I was the fat kid, but I sure couldn't hang with this dude's stomach! Our server was so super awesome and cute, but I forgot to get her name. She couldn't say Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio, but neither could I, so there. Very attentive, got our food out hot and delicious, and was a wonderful host. If you're hankering for some Vietnamese or Chinese food, but can't decide - here's your sign! Seriously, though - excellent food, terrific service, amazing company, and a full belly made for the perfect night. Can't wait to see where you pick next, my friend!
