Delicious pho broth. Pho is always delicious every time we go. Service is pretty quick around the early afternoon. Decent amount of seats. Location is in a decent spot. We love coming back here! read more

This is a great restaurant for pho. It's maybe 10-12 tables inside so fairly intimate. Service is fine-nothing over the top, but quick and attentive if you need something. The staff are friendly and try to be personable, which you don't typically find at businesses like this, so that's a plus. There are many good options here including oxtails, but on this visit I opted for the chicken pho and crab Rangoon. The Rangoon were small but yummy and you got about five of them with sweet chili sauce. I'd order those again. The pho was tasty and broth was good. Overall, this is a good option in the west end for pho and other Vietnamese dishes. read more

This is my favorite Vietnamese place in Richmond. The bun xeo is my favorite. My only beef is I need more fish sauce. The nuoc cham is too sweet and watery for me. I need more of that fish sauce funk. I didn't wanna ask for a little on the side in case it was a faux pas I guess. This recent visit was with my mom. We had my fav Bun Xeo. We had an app platter that was just ok. And she had the Bun bo hue. She didn't like it that much but I thought it was good and the brisket in it was tender with some good fat on it. I just need more limes and fish sauce. read more

Surprisingly bad especially given the high ratings. The meat tastes weird, the broth is lacking flavor. Noodles are fine but can't really mess that up. There's much better pho out there. read more

Reviews said this was some of the best Vietnamese food in the area so how could I pass up giving their pho a try? Got there around 5pm and saw they had a happy hour which was cool that included both apps and drinks. I was immediately seated and my server poured fresh ice water and gave me a few minutes to look over the menu. I went with my usual - spring rolls and beef pho...both were tasty! The peanut sauce for the spring rolls and the pho broth were the stars of the meal! If I were ever in town again I would totally visit again and try a rice dish. read more

Food here is so so good, beyond good would eat it every single day if I could. The service is so bad it stops me from eating here periodically. I've ordered here at least 5 times and every single time the experience is something to be desired. Dining in tends to be the same experience. If you dont care about service and want some good food come here. read more

Friday 12:30pm 6/7/24 Met a friend here for lunch. Nice quiet place, clean and family friendly. I already looked at the menu the day before and decided on the "sampler". It had 3 small Crab Rangoons, 3 fried dumplings, 2 fried shrimp and 1 crispy spring roll, 1 soft spring roll. It also came with 3 dipping sauces. In taste, the sampler was average. The customer service was excellent. They made you feel like you were right at home. Check em out! read more

I came here on a Wednesday night and got a bowl of pho #11 ($14) and it had steak,brisket and meatball. When the waiter brought out our water there was a fruit fly in it. They immediately got us new waters. After about 6 minutes the pho came out. The broth was savory with just the right saltiness. A fair amount of meat was given. Service was quick and staff was average. Overall one of the better pho in RVA, however because of that fly in water incident it did sour the experience. Food: 8.6 Staff/service: 6.0 Value: 8.5 Overall: 5.9/10 (-2 point for the fly incident) read more

Shaking beef pho. Thank me now. Then thank me again later. The beef pho flavor is unmatched. The veggies are perfectly cooked and they give you perfectly steamed broccoli, mushrooms, & carrots, not just the leftover boiled veggies from veggie broth like some other places. The ambience is great for a casual lunch or night out. Service is decent...they'll get you in & get you out. It's my fave go-to takeout and once the ladies learn who you are they'll make sure your order is always done right. read more

I ordered takeout from this place l and was really excited for my oxtail pho. However I was disappointed to find a piece of hair in my oxtail pho. Oxtail pho - I tried a bite of it before I noticed the hair. The broth was light and the noodles were good. The oxtail wasn't super tender. Cha Gio - the egg rolls were crispy and the filling was flavorful. read more

Always consistent experience and food quality. Fast and friendly service too! If you are new to this getbthe Pho Ga.

I was looking forward to trying this place but the food turned out terrible. Got pho chay and spring rolls.. rolls were ok but the pho broth was tasteless and the noodles smelled rancid. Vegetables were brown. Couldn't even finish it. I can't imagine coming back since I go to Pho So 1 and Pho Thien Phat frequently and they've never missed. read more

I typically stay in the Horsepen Rd corridor for Vietnamese food because it's authentic, inexpensive, and good. I thought I'd try something new and popped in Pho Saigon. The menu wasn't huge (so if you suffer from too many options, this won't be a problem) and had a good blend of old favorites and new things to try. I came for pho and ordered pho ga. The broth can be bland with pho ga, but that was actually the best part. It was hot and very tasty. The portion size was ample. I left satisfied. The others at the table were happy as well. So, if you are in the west end and looking for Vietnamese, consider Pho Saigon. read more

Popped in for late lunch on dreary rainy Saturday. We were seated right away, they were not overly busy there were always people coming and going. Our server/host brought waters and took our orders, I have to say they're very efficient! Place is clean, nicely decorated, painted muted green with Asian accents on walls. I ordered short rib pho special and it was amazing and really hit the spot on cold day. Huge chunks of tender meat, tasty broth and veggies - what more can you ask for. Price wasn't listed or poss I didn't noticed it but it was well worth it for 20$. Portion was huge and I was able to eat about half and rest took home. My daughter ordered grilled chicken fried rice her only complaint was there was too much chicken otherwise it was delicious! read more

We have now been to Pho Saigon twice. The menu is enticing, lots of choices! Both times my dining partner has ordered the Yello pancake as her main. No lie, it is truly the best in the area. Full of savory notes and attentively cooked. The pho, unfortunately, is a mixed bag. The broths were both excellent. But for whatever reason the noodles have been all but fall-apart mush. There are many other Vietnamese dishes I like, so I will skip the pho next time and focus on those. read more

I was craving pho and saw that this was closest to me where I was and decided to drop in and just order a bowl of pho. I came in and noticed that the place was already packed and the customers were all waiting at their tables and no food ready for them. I took my chances and sat at my table knowing that I will probably wait on my food as well. Thinking it would be a 20 minute wait turned to be almost 2 hours wait! When they brought my water it had a dead bug in it, which made me question the cleanliness of the restaurant. The waiter's response to my water was, "Oh, that's not supposed to be there," and that was it. Finally, when my food arrived they gave me the wrong dish and it was for the table behind me. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. There was only one waiter who was serving the whole restaurant. I was excited to go here, but my experience fell short with how unorganized and understaffed it was. The food was alright, but with so many other Vietnamese restaurants around, I won't return back here. read more

I order this delivery via DoorDash very regularly. My go-to order is the Pho Tai Chin. Quality control is stellar as every order has been consistently delicious. The broth is always piping hot and cooks the meat perfectly. Serving size is perfect. The main perk for me is that Pho Saigon has a box to mark "Gluten Allergy." As someone with celiac, this is so helpful and reassuring that my meal will be safe for me. I haven't gotten sick at all from Pho Saigon. I will continue to order from here and recommended it. read more

The second i walked in, i absolutely loved the ambiance. it already gave me a sweet-cozy-comfy feel. We already got seated within a 30 seconds minute. Although it was busy at the time the service was above average chilly night. I picked No. 58, was filled to a great portion of chicken, vermicelli, and ginger. Broth had cinnamon taste to it, which was not my favorite, but still a nice filling meal. The price was satisfactory for a party of 3 around 57$ for appetizer, and 3 entrees 7/10 would recommend . read more

Service and ambiance were great. Fresh pork summer rolls were delicious. Pho was just ok, sadly. Never had pho before where as soon as you go to mix noodles in broth, they start to break into small pieces. Something was wrong with the noodles. By a few stirs all of the noodles were broken into very small sections, super weird. Wouldn't not return for pho. read more

Good pho and very quick attentive service. This is the only Pho spot I've tried in the area, so I can't compare it to the others but it was very good basic Pho at a good portion and price. Recommend adding the chili oil in for spice! read more

Pho Saigon - #13 Pho Tai Chin Gan Sach Bo Vien - Vietnamese Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

You love good Pho? Me too! It's such an amazing dish, and love the varieties of options that one can get. It's like "pizza" soup -- lots of "toppings" to choose from in a lovely broth with noodles. There's nothing like it. We decided to go here because of some good reviews, and we were in the mood. We were seated quickly at a table for two. Not too busy of a night, nice decor, and warmly lit. We were asked for drink orders and received those shortly thereafter. We started with the steamed dumplings (5) which arrived a few minutes later. They were placed neatly on a plate with dipping sauce. They were tasty, basic, but lacked much flavor. Might go for something different next time. We both ordered Pho. I had the #13 and she opted for the chicken soup (basically). Both arrived with a nice presentation and standard accompaniment of garnish (bean sprouts, basil, jalapeno, and lime). However, the garnish was really small. I suppose I'm used to a larger mound of this, but maybe they thought we weren't going to use it at all? Not sure. So...I dumped what she didn't use into my soup bowl. The table had standard accompaniments of Hoisen sauce, Soy sauce, and Chili Oil. However, there was no fish sauce. I mean...who doesn't like some fish sauce in their Pho? I waved the waiter over and asked for some fish sauce. He literally did a double-take. "Fish sauce?!" he asked with incredulity. "Yes!" I said enthusiastically. Expecting a bottle of rich and fishy aromatic potion, he brought a bowel with some liquid in it. I smelled it - it was kind of fishy. I tasted it. Not the fish sauce I've had over the years, but something that tasted more like a combination of fish sauce, cider vinegar, and sugar. It was okay, but made the dish taste kind of "sweetly weird." Still, the broth, noodles, and proteins were done well. Enjoyable, but I'll bring my own fish sauce next time. :) read more

Pho Saigon - Steamed pork dumplings (-2 already eaten) - Vietnamese Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

We love this place. The Pho is to die for. I love the number 8 sliced beef. I tried it and go at least once a week. The owner recognizes us and are always very friendly as are the rest of the staff. We love the steamed dumplings there also. Much better than the fried. We have tried sandwiches as well and were also good. For me it's the Pho. I need it each week. Bad news is we are moving in a week to snow country but when we are back we will for sure be back. Thanks for the great food and service!! Bob and Joanie S. read more

Great service with friendly people. The food is wonderful with many choices. Especially the Pho and Banh mi

I was so excited to try this please because my friend told me they are like the only Pho place that have oxtail pho. I call ahead and order takeout and it was ready when I got there. The oxtail was so tender and fell off the bone. The broth was very flavorful. My only complaint is that the Willie portions aren't as big as other pho places. The price wasn't too bad though. read more

This was my first time trying Pho Saigon. I went solely for the oxtail Pho! And I can say that I will definitely go back. I started out with some fresh rolls where you can never go wrong. Service was very fast and efficient. Everyone helped each other out so there was barely a wait for anything to be brought out. It was small venue with a full bar. Very casual environment. I recommend that you go. read more

Pho Saigon - 20. Oxtail Pho Dinner - Vietnamese Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

They have the worst customer service I've ever seen, they didn't want to give us a bag big enough for our take-out order, then they didn't want to get our order after we placed it, they wanted to wait on the customers coming in to be seated, then one time we ordered and asked for some of the items not to be in our order, that resulted in us not getting items for our pho, all they gave us was the broth and the noodles, we called them to see why, they said what do you want us to do!!! They nickel and dime you for everything, the young person that works there is horrible, it is as she doesn't care about anyone but herself read more

The only way I can describe the pork-belly lettuce wraps at Pho Saigon is like this: imagine that all of your senses are wholly focused on what is going on in your mouth. You are only tasting. You hear nothing, feel nothing, can say nothing. Definitely your eyes are closed, so you see nothing. For a few moments, bliss is your sole state. It is rare to have this feeling in any restaurant, let alone one in a non-descript strip mall. But the Richmond food scene can surprise you. I am grateful. On a subsequent visit, I tried the Bahn Mi, the sandwich that is the exquisite merger of East and West, bright Vietnamese flavor bombs on French bread; lemon grassy tones of pickled vegetables accentuating chicken and pate. This is one of my favorite Asian dishes and I make of point of sampling it whenever its on the menu. This is one of the best. The prices and service are on a human scale here. Only the food is from a different stratosphere. Highly recommend. read more

Pho Saigon is a definite must come back!!! The service is excellent. I came here to pick up an Uber order and they were so sweet and organized! I came back a few days later as a customer and again the service was amazing! I even learned a few words in Vietnamese! I ordered Pho Ga and it came in a huge bowl! It tasted so good! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the broth was light and tasty! I also ordered Goi Cuon Shrimp and I highly recommend ordering! I washed all down with Thai Tea and so yummy! Great ambience. Nice quiet area with a lot of parking! read more

Got the bun bo cha gio and it was not very good the fish sauce did not taste or smell like fish sauce and it was super sweet.

The pho broth was great! A but on the greasier side which isn't preferable since Vietnamese broths are supposed to be clean but the flavor was great. The banh mi bread wasn't crunchy at all. It was super soggy and I didn't have any pate in my sandwich. One side was completely soaked in siracha sauce. Also when I have my food delivered, I think the pho broth spilled because I was missing half of my broth and the container was very wet and oily on the outside. read more

Pho Saigon Ratings: 3.8/5 Food: 3.5/5 - Pho Saigon has always been my take-out / delivery place, but never dine-in before. I decided to get some take-out here for dinner, so I can video chat my boyfriend for a virtual dinner, since we are long distance. He is a major pho lover. This oxtail pho here is better than I thought, so please see the description below for it. - Oxtail Pho [GET]: Comes with three oxtail and raw beef slices. Oxtail was good sizes, pretty juicy and tender, just certain parts are still hard to chew. Noodles were boiled just right and chewy, since I do like my noodles on the more chewier side, and all the ingredients were fresh too. I wasn't a fan of the broth, because it was too sweet for my liking, I prefer a savory broth. Make sure to heat up the noodles before you eat for the best experience. Ambiance: 3.75/5 - I been to Pho Saigon many times, but never dine inside. It is located in a strip shopping center on Broad Street with other restaurants. Interior is big and spacious, but quite dark and gloomy. It got a shabby feel to it, and I'm not a big fan of the vibe there. I think this is a good family spot, but the vibe isn't for a younger crowd or a date night. Price: 3.75/5 - The oxtail pho is listed as $15 on DoorDash, so I think it is probably slightly cheaper if you eat at the restaurant. The price was okay compared to other pho places here. There's three standard pieces of oxtail and some beef slices, and I thought portion was aight honestly. Service: 4/5 - I ordered on DoorDash for pick-up, and service was very fast and efficient. The order is always ready within 10 to 15 minutes. Each time I walk in to pick-up my food, I just give my name and the staff will hand me the bag. Packaging is neat, clean, and simple. I love how they separate the soup from the noodles, quite thoughtful there. BLUF: My go-to take out Viet place when I am craving for some soup or their vermicelli noodle bowls. I recommend their grill pork vermicelli noodle bowl and their spring rolls. Regarding noodle soup, try their classic pho and the oxtail pho, really can't go wrong with any of my suggestions, LOL. read more

I ordered the curry lunch special with a spring roll and wonton soup. It was nothing special about it. I ordered it to my job and the first red flag was the delivery driver left my food on the floor by the door instead of sitting it on the table right beside the door. When I opened the container the food was borderline warm. Barely room temperature. The spring roll had wilted lettuce, and half a spring inside. It was so disappointing. The wonton soup was decent and the hottest thing I received. The white rice, was nothing to rave about. The curry!?!?! Was the worst curry I ever ate which was so upsetting because I love curry. I had literally 5 slim pieces of chicken and the rest were barely cooked veggies. Lacked flavored, zero spice, and honestly a waste of money. I will never eat here again. read more

First, OXTAIL PHO, my friends. They had me at "oxtail" - I grew up on my mom's German-style Ochsenschwanzsuppe (oxtail soup), so when introduced long ago to Asian versions of oxtail soup I was so there. [updating this review to add - yeah, thought I'd reviewed 'em before, and yeah, I'm definitely all about the oxtails, amirite?] And Pho Saigon has been a go-to delivery order source during the Covid pandemic, too, keeping me as healthy as possible with good immune-boosting beef broth and all the yummy goodies that go into a bowl of pho. Will also shout out to their Pho Tai, with sliced beef round - that's the photo attached here, in my own bowl at home, tyvm delivery. ready for enthusiastic slurping. Have eaten in the restaurant itself a number of times since they opened, too - amazed I hadn't reviewed them before today, since I am a big fan of Pho Saigon. They're delightful people, with great service and superb Vietnamese food. read more

Pho Saigon - Pho Tai - so very pho-king good. - Vietnamese Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

Po Saigon is a nice additional to RIchmond's many and varied restaurants offering SouthEast Asian dining. We went for dinner on a Thursday evening. The crowd was moderate to minimal as was the noise level. Service was adequate as was the food. The place offers a nice experience though nothing terribly memorable. I wouldn't think twice about going back if I was in the area and in need of a nice meal. read more

Pho Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

Was craving pho all through my work shift and this place was close enough to make it before closing time. I called in and ordered two chicken pho, pork spring rolls and shrimp spring rolls. It only took me 7-8 minutes to get there and my order was ready upon arrival. I can't say anything about the service, as the person I picked up from didn't greet or speak much. The pho was good, but not remarkably so. There was an ample amount of chicken and the toppings (basil, cilantro, lime, bean sprouts, onion, scallion, jalapeño) were buried underneath the chicken, so I honestly thought they'd forgotten them! It wasn't until I added the broth that the toppings began to surface. On one hand it was a win bc the chicken was so dense I couldn't see anything under it. But on the other sand, it wasn't preferable because I like to add, taste, add, taste. Now everything was wet. WFH for nearly two years, I've ordered plenty of pho and never ever were the noodles and toppings all in one like this. I imagine their method of having everything in one bowl saves on packaging, but it's just something to note if you'd prefer it separate as well. The spring rolls were okay, but the standout for me was really the iced coffee. It was so rich and creamy. Would probably give them another go, but definitely not for takeout. read more
