TL;DR: Quite disappointed with my bahn mi here, probably wouldn't try again. Service: Had it delivered, no issue with this part Food: Here is where I had issues. I ordered the pork belly bahn mi. Asked for no daikon and no onion. There was no daikon but also no carrot (maybe they're made together so I won't knock them here) and there definitely was onion. I normally really like pork belly, but this was very chewy and entirely devoid of flavor. The cucumber had a strange white sauce on it that I didn't care for. When I was ordering I thought it was odd that the bahn mi came with a side of pho broth. That was until I had my first bite. Without the pho broth I would have stopped after the first bite; with the pho broth I ate half the bahn mi before I gave up. Unfortunately I just can't recommend this item at all. Price: Definitely overpriced at $11.50 for a bahn mi. Overall: I probably won't try this place again. read more

Loved this place. Great pho (though only tried the broth as a dipping broth for the bahn mi) and I had the bun which I loved. We got the bao appetizer and I wasn't that impressed but it wasn't bad. The only other thing was they didn't use a true French baguette for the bahn mi which I always find disappointing but it was excellent otherwise. read more

Nice place in the Innsbrook area. The interior is nice but the food is better. My wife had the Grilled Shrimp Bun, #26 Lots of fresh vegetables. Nicely cooked shrimp. Good portion size. I had the Stir Fried Ginger Chicken, #36. The sauce had a nice, mild spice. The ginger had a nice presence but not overpowering. Vegetable was cut to bit size. The service was OK. However, the quality of the food was super so I'll be coming back. read more

A favorite spot for lunch and we order delivery pretty frequently too. My favorite is the Bánh xèo but also order the chicken pho often.

Great atmosphere, great service, great food! Would highly recommend! I order my usual pho tai and am never disappointed.

Bug in my food. Just disgusting and its the reason why I'm not coming back. It was in the pho broth. I found hair that appears to be private parts but its not as bad as a bug eww read more

I had a random craving for Pho and found this gem less than 10 min from me. Once I walked in I was greeted with a smile. At first I intended to do take out but changed my mind to sit down. Inside feels welcoming so I decided to enjoy dinner there. I ordered the Seafood Pho. The food came out quick. There was a little hiccup and my food came out wrong. Normally I can pick things out but it was something I'm allergic to. They immediately apologized and remade my order. The food was absolutely amazing !! I wish I would've gotten a picture. I'm glad I decided to dine in because you have unlimited access to hoisin sauce, sriracha and chili oil. I love my pho extra spicy. Pho Saigon will definitely be seeing me again ! read more

Check out this sleek, aesthetically serene pho restaurant. Intimate seating and bar area make for a perfect date nite venue or quick lunch spot. Once you walk in, you'll forget it's in a little strip mall. We ordered the #23 bun with pork, the vermicelli was perfectly cooked, nice marriage of flavors, not too salty and included delicious spring roll... (so says my hubby who loves Vietnamese food)! Friendly helpful staff, good prices and portions and tasty dishes will have you coming back pho sure. read more

Bahn. Mi. Sandwich. That's all I've gotta say. I've only tried a few other dishes, and they were all great. But the bahn mi is what keeps me coming back. read more

Great food, ordered Bun Bo Hue. Great quality and service. The soup was quick, , on time and better than expected. Great food.

We have been coming here since it opened years ago and it had been our go to Pho place. However they are under new management and the food quality has unfortunately taken a hit. The Pho Bo Kho was my go to dish but now I only got 3 pieces of pretty fatty beef and soggy noodles. We also ordered a Pho dish which also had over cooked noodles. The Boba tea came out with large ice pieces at first and was undrinkable. After fixing that issue a reorder had undercooked Boba pearls. Hope this place can fix these issues and get back to its prior higher food quality standard. read more

Great experience! The service was excellent. The amount of times we were checked on was above and beyond my expectations. The gentleman taking care of us was really friendly and talkative. He really made the experience the best thus far. The food was fresh, hot, and tasty. The veggie crispy spring rolls are my favorite of any pho restaurant. Just go ahead and order two plates of it. I loved the pho tai. The broth has improved tremendously since my last experience. I hope it continues to stay that way and doesn't become inconsistent again like my experience years ago. I will definitely be coming back here for my pho cravings! read more

We picked this place at random for a pho lunch for my wife and banh mi for me... we were really impressed by the food and by the atmosphere. The servers were attentive and lively, and we enjoyed savoring our meal. We will be back again! read more

I ordered #11, Pho Tai Bo Vien, thinking being my first time here; I should try their pho. Whoopsie daisy... I was wrong! The broth was very sweet. I've eaten at almost all Vietnamese restaurants in town and their pho is the worst! Plus they only gave us 2 1/2 pieces of beef meatballs. ‍ We had to ask for more beansprout and basil as their portion is very small. Overall, we're not impressed at all and definitely don't recommend their pho. read more

Definitely the best Pho in the country! I highly recommend stopping by and having a well crafted meal. The food served here nourishes both the body and the soul. The broths are absolutely incredible! I've had Pho Saigon in multiple cities across the US, and it's incredible every time! This particular location has a wonderful atmosphere. read more

Went back in and the woman was working today. Another incredible experience. Definitely worth coming back for and I'm glad I did 3 for inconsistency. There's a woman there who is SO SWEET and kind and attentive. I had a stellar experience when I went because the food is absolutely delicious and she was so nice. There's a man who works there that is distracted, cold, unfriendly, and inconsiderate. I asked for no onions, and it was loaded with them. What if I was allergic? I asked if I could take it to go and he dumped half of it and gave me a tiny container when I barely finished my bowl. Overall, if he's working I'll probably walk out endt read more

Last night was my second visit to Phō Saigon. As before, I sat at the bar and ordered food to go. Last night's order: * 2. Two Crispy Spring Rolls, $4.50 * 11. Phō Tái Chín Bò Viên (Eye of round, brisket & meatballs), $10.25 * Bubble Tea, Taro, $5 Jack, my server, put the Bubble Tea on the counter and I began sipping it. By the time I got home (~38 mile trip), it was gone. It was a bit on the weak side, but I enjoyed every sip. At home, I went for the Crispy Spring Rolls while they were still warm. Not the best CSRs I've had, but still quite good with Fish Sauce. I'll repeat the CSRs every time I return. Phō time. Most Vietnamese bistros package Phō in a quart cylinder for the liquid, and a clamshell for the solids. Phō Saigon, however, packages the solids in a circular tub approximately 3" high and 7" diameter. On one hand, this makes carryout easier, and also preserves the heat better than would a clamshell. The downside is that when assembling my Phō in a soup bowl, I need to root through the plastic tub to find the specific ingredient that I'm looking for. On the whole, however, I think I prefer the tub for the solids. The Phō was wonderful. It lasted me for about three hours. Included with the solids in the the tub was a packet of Hoisin Sauce, and a packet of Sriracha Sauce. The Sriracha was not needed (by me) because the solids included a few slices of Jalapeño Pepper. And one packet of Hoisin is not enough. Thankfully, I had my own Hoisin in my fridge. All in all, a +ive experience that I want to repeat. Jack was very pleasant, the store was clean, and parking was a cinch in the dedicated lot. read more

Can't go wrong with a pho fix on a chilly Friday night. If you don't want to go into the city and have a really solid, affordable meal this is your place. Yummy bao dumplings (5 per order) with dipping sauce, and tons of great soup options. We all went with versions of the beef, brisket, beef ball, omasa with all the fixing. They make their own chili crisp oil which is AWESOME! the owner wouldn't give me his secret recipe which I totally respect, they could sell it in jars to go and I guarantee people would buy. read more

I've been here many times but this is my first review. The food is consistently good. I typically order the pho when I dine here. All of them are great. Excellent broth with tasty proteins. The service is fast and efficient. It's always a pleasure to stop by this little gem in Innsbrook. read more

The pho is very good here. Highly recommended. The staff were very friendly, and answered all my questions that I had.

I always get the same thing...the pork belly on cucumber and vermicelli wrap as an appetizer and then the oxtail pho. I think it has the best broth in Richmond. The oxtail is excellent as well but you get more at Pho Thien Phat. Either way the overall combo is fantastic. Better atmosphere than most other Vietnamese in town. I like the bar and tv set up. read more

Just had take out. I had the seafood pho and spouse had the beef pho. The broth for both was the same. Packed the soup separately from the Soup filling. Everything was included. I didn't eat the hot pepper that was in the soup. I can no longer handle the heat. I enjoyed the pho as did spouse. I plan to take out from there again. The pho left me feeling good. read more

Having a love for pho, I'm surprised this is the first time I have been here. This little gem is a must visit again and again vietnamese resturaunt, Spring rolls were excellent, and even so they did have tripe the pho was sooooo good. Chilli oil right on the table is a plus and the thing that made the place unique was the Sinatra playing. Vietnamese jazz resturaunt, loved it. Will be back for sure. All I can post is the spring rolls, I ate the pho too fast. 10 stars read more

Certain dishes are decent, others are dissatisfying. My main quip is twice now waiters have taken our food and showed it to other patrons and then served it to us. Not a fan of having other people breathe on my food prior to serving it to me. Pig knuckles is an extra charge sometimes but not other times... used to like this place... but now I'm moving on. read more

Had the yellow pancake app and the Bo Kho beef soup. Amazing. Will be going back again and again. The host was also funny and informative of how to eat the the pancake app correctly. read more

I was visiting from out of town with my best friend and we decided check out this restaurant. It wasn't busy at all which was surprising because the food and service was amazing. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure that we had everything that we needed. She also made recommendations which was appreciated. I ordered ginger chicken with broccoli, carrots, onions and jasmine rice. It was so yummy! Also, the manager was kind enough to come and have a conversation with us. Very personable. They were even kind enough to place our leftovers in a take out container for us. I will definitely visit again when I am in the area. read more

Very pleased with my meal!! I got number 22, it was a very tasty and filling bowl with rice noodles, vegetables, and tofu with a spring roll on top. Love the addition of the fish oil sauce on the side I would order again!! They gave a great amount of tofu and the flavors mashed very well. I had been getting very into yelp and I couldn't wait to review this business. Missing it already. read more

Pho Saigon - 22. #22 Bun Cha Gio Chay Dinner - Vietnamese Near Me - Glen Allen, Virginia

Excellent food, very friendly staff. Soft music playing in the background not to loud. The staff were very eager to please. Customers at the next table were leaving and the waitresses asked if they wanted their slushy/frozen drink to go (not sure what it was). The customer said no their kids thought it was something else, the waitress offered to make them another for their kids. The customer said no, the waitress asked a couple more times (not in a nagging way, but in a concerned way). I am in town on business, I will be back in town in a couple weeks and will definitely return!! read more

Since my discovery of pho a few years back, I've been trying it at a bunch of places. The West End thankfully delivers in bountiful pho bunches, and when Pho So 1 was closed on a Tuesday, we had to find somewhere else. Pho Saigon was quite the good find! --Food: The first time we went, I got my normal Pho Tai Chin (Steak and Brisket) and my fiancee got Pho Ga (Chicken). She commented on how the chicken was cut in strips and that it was better than the other places she has had it. I thought the whole bowl was pretty tasty, and there were plenty of noodles. I will say that the broth is a little sweeter and less spicy (as in cinnamon and star anise) than some of the other places, but with the proper balancing of heat with Sriracha mixed with lime and basil, it ended up being a delicious dish. She also got Bubble Tea, which was the frozen slush variety, and she said it was good. The difference in flavor makes sense as they stress that the menu they have "showcases a blend of flavors and textures unique to the Dong Nai region of southeast Vietnam". It definitely tastes like pho broth, but there are distinct flavor profile changes, mostly for the sweeter side, but delicious all the same. Just don't expect Pho So 1's cinnamon rich, super savory broth and give Pho Saigon's a chance. The second time I went I got Oxtail Pho, partially because I've seen people rave about it on here and partially because I've never tried it before. First things first; the actual meat is really, really good. It's a flavor of beef I haven't had before, and it's super tasty. Second things second; I'm not really sure how to eat it. There are portions of meat on the actual oxtail bone, but there is a lot of bone and fat around it, and that's just really not my style. I still say try it as it's tasty, but I don't believe I'll get it again. They have plenty of other specials that I haven't seen anywhere else, like Seafood Pho, and will probably try these eventually. --Cost: A few dollars more than the other pho places, so instead of $7-$8 a bowl, you'll be paying closer to $10-$11 (or more for the specialty things). It's not outrageous, but it's more expensive. --Service: The staff don't talk much, but they've been polite both times we've went. Pho takes a bit longer to be delivered here (~10 minutes as opposed to less than 5 at Pho So 1), but it's not a deal breaker. --Atmosphere: The layout of the interior is very welcoming. It feels like a small noodle house and the dimmed lighting is really great, especially in the evening. I really enjoy the feeling here more than any other pho place in the area. One downside is that the floor was a little sticky both times. Meh. Tables were clean and the place doesn't feel dirty. --Overall: I'm torn between a 4 and a 5. Definite pros are varieties of pho, the broth as a whole, and the cozy interior. The main con is slight overpricing compared to competitors in the area. I really like Pho Saigon and will definitely come back, but whether it's my favorite over a couple other locals is debatable. read more

It was a cloudy and cold Saturday, so we decided to venture out for lunch. What to eat on a cold day? Pho, of course. The restaurant is decorated nicely and is somewhat small. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and sat at a table by the window. The waiter took our drink order: Vietnamese iced coffee, a bourbon barrel beer, Tiger beer and water all around. For appetizers, I got the soft spring rolls, and my husband and daughter got the crispy spring rolls. The soft spring roll was just okay. The rice paper was super thick and chewy and the dipping sauce was a peanut sauce that, to me basically tasted like peanut butter. I tried to doctor it with hoisin and chili sauce, which helped. Still, I wouldn't order these again. The crispy spring rolls on the other hand were good. The dipping sauce was too sweet and didn't have that balance of salty, sweet and tart. For entrees my husband got the oxtail pho and it was excellent. My daughter had the pho ga, which was also very good. I opted for the chicken noodle salad. It was okay, but had the same overly sweet dressing that comes with the crispy spring rolls. I added lime and chili sauce to balance the sugar. The chicken was grilled and had an overly charred flavor that was fine at first but became sort of overwhelming as I continued to eat. If you eat here stick with the pho. I think next time I'll go a few extra miles down Broad Street to Mekong. read more

Amazing food I recommend the pho chicken the service is amazing they are Allways checking in on you and making sure you are doing good

This used to be my favorite Pho spot when I lived here. In town for work, I was so excited to get inside and find only a group of three in the restaurant. I was seated and order taken, Morse customers arrived and were seated behind and after me. Time passed and I never received my drink. I waited as the waitress who looked to be the only one, served each customer after me. Time came and went as she ushered out each dish to all the customers while I continued to wait for my drink. She made at least 3-4 passes by my table delivering entrees and drinks. Not sure what happened but I was disappointed and just left. read more

I've been trying pho all Richmond trying to nail a go to spot that is consistent. Well, everything is fresh and tasty. Definitely a hearty amount of food. Broth was good. As far as best in Richmond, not even close. It works in a pinch, but definitely not in my top 5. read more

After receiving our food, we discovered that all of their food is inundated with black pepper. I am very allergic to black pepper and didn't know this and after putting the chicken in my pho I had a significant allergic reaction. We also got the vegetarian spring rolls, which were covered in black pepper. Thank gosh my daughter noticed before I ate any. After notifying the restaurant that this was not listed in the ingredients, they acknowledged that it was not listed. I have eaten pho from many other pho restaurants where there is never been an issue with black pepper. They apologized said they would put it on their ingredient list, but did not offer us a refund or anything for food we had to throw away and could not eat and spent gas to drive to the restaurant to pick it up. I do not recommend this business. read more
