I got the brisket and filet mignon combination photo was so good the flavors were really good and I love pho so it was good with the weather being very overcast. I also had chicken Banh Mi and it was my favorite from the bread being toasted nicely, to the pickled carrots on the sandwich were so delicious a can for real have another one. And lastly had the strawberry lemonade which was super good. The service was great food came out quick even with a lunch rush read more

Food: 10/10 Pork Belly Garlic Noodles - WOWOW this pork belly blew me away! Pork belly was crunchy on the side and soft and tender on the meat side. Garlic noodles were delicious as well! To top it all off the green sauce pulled the whole meal together. 8/10 BBQ Chicken Kimchi Fried Rice - The BBQ chicken was really soft and tender. They use small grained rice to make this dish. It also came with an over-easy egg which pulled the whole dish together. Drink: 10/10 Lychee Lemonade - The lychee really compliments the lemonade well. I cannot ever go back to regular lemonade! This is the sweeter drink of the 2. 10/10 Lemon Guava Green Tea - This drink would be perfect paired with boba! I am not typically a huge fan of fruit teas but this one I love! It is a little bit on the lesser sweet side. 10/10 Service - Big shoutout to Hao for being so kind and helpful to me in my experience at Saiga! read more

Love, love Saiga! Everything that I've had here so far was so tasty. The most recent one I ordered was the pork belly bowl, served with green aioli. They do such a great job with pork belly and that sauce is to die for. Sweet (honey) and spicy at the same time. I've got to say they're excellent at making the perfect sauce to complement every dish here. Great job Saiga!!! Keep it up. read more

If you haven't tried their viet coffee this is a must try item. I also like their banh mi with chicken. The banh mi is big and perfectly baked. The chicken was big and tender. I also like their garlic noodles topped with chicken. This is a perfect spot for a quick lunch. read more

5/5 - A Hidden Gem in Orange! I had such a great experience at SAIGA Eatery in Orange, CA. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how clean, modern, and refreshing the atmosphere felt. It's the kind of place that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. We tried a few drinks--Vietnamese iced coffee, Vietnamese iced blended coconut, and the ice blended coconut Thai tea--and all of them were incredible. Smooth, flavorful, and the perfect balance of sweetness without being too much. Honestly some of the best I've had. The food was just as impressive--fresh, light, and full of flavor. They offer a generous amount of both meat and vegetables, which made each dish feel balanced and satisfying. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality and portions. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were so kind and welcoming, going out of their way to make sure we had a great time. They even gave us a complimentary drink to try, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. If you're looking for a new spot with great food, good vibes, and genuinely warm hospitality, SAIGA Eatery is 100% worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Located between office buildings with plenty of parking. Small inside eating area but there are still some tables to sit. Ordered through a kiosk and the food came out pretty fast. Garlic noodles with beef were great but nothing too crazy. The garlic noodles had a lot of flavor and garlic on them which I love with good seasoning on the beef. The beef was pretty tender as well. The only thing I wish was there was something to cut the oiliness of the noodles like some type of vegetable. The vermicelli noodles was refreshing and the star of the dish was the chicken. It was very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. All in all the food was good but nothing that blows me away especially since it was pricey. read more

Great spot for quick Vietnamese food. Service is great and fast. Vermicelli w/ Pork Belly is my favorite dish!

Saiga Vietnamese Eatery is truly a hidden gem in a business complex. It can be hard to find, but the signs are clearly marked. There's plenty of parking. This place is a fast casual eatery with a very easy ordering system using iPads; it takes 15 minutes for them to prepare your food fresh to order; then they call your name and everything is packed ready to go! You can eat there or take out. There are limited seatings inside, and they have a small patio outside. I tried their combination pho and the broth is flavorful and there were plenty of noodles and meats. It comes with fresh basil and the sauce packages. I also got a salad with their Vietnamese barbecue chicken. The chicken was tender and moist and the salad was fresh and crunchy. The salad dressing and green aïoli were packed full flavor. I would like to come back to try the other dishes. The iced Vietnamese coffee really hit the spot as well as the lychee green tea. They also have noncaffeine options as well. read more

Mmm, this place is a HIDDEN gem! It's easy to overlook this spot at first glance, since the building is uniformly blended amongst all the others in the plaza... but once inside - food is a must try! This spot serves up Vietnamese cuisine and is PERFECT for a quick, tasty lunch. Several tables inside, ideal for parties of 2-4. The food comes in nice to-go-able containers and offers generous portions, making it a great option for taking some home to enjoy later. One highlight is the self-serve kiosk with photos of the menu items, which makes ordering easy. The kiosk also notes prep time is 10-15 minutes. I am a huge fan of the garlic noodles, particularly the grilled pork mmm! Meat is deliciously charred and seasoned, while balanced in garlic flavor. I also like the pork belly in my belly - nice and crunchy, cut into bite-sized pieces and laid over kimchi fried rice. Rice had perfect consistency and was neither too dry nor too soggy and was not overpowering in kimchi flavor. Fried egg is the cherry on top! Can't miss out on the refreshing lychee green tea to compliment the meal! Definitely will be back to try other menu items, including the pho soup :) Eat good, eat fast! read more

Quick and yummy spot to grab for lunch during work or maybe on the way home for dinner. Definitely liked the pork belly the best, and want to come back for the bbq chicken. Grilled pork was okay, but recommend getting the other options. The sauce that comes with the bowls is pretty tasty, a light tangy and flavorful complement to the meal! read more

Food 4/5 Kimchi flavor not as strong as expected but ordering their green sauce adds a lot of flavor. Egg cooked perfectly. Service 2/5 After we received our order we asked for their green sauce, we were told to order it on the kiosk. It was $.60 which is fine but the cashier really got us doing the most for a single sauce. We order it and she hands it to us without saying anything. The initial lady who handed us our order smiled and was friendly. Second lady was just rude, the whole interaction with her was just cold and wasn't very customer friendly. To have an automatic tip on kiosk but act like that... Location is surrounded by office buildings but the place is not hard to find once you're nearby. Limited seating inside, ordering togo recommended. Be sure to grab utensils and napkins. read more

The Garlic Noodles with pork belly was so flavorful. It is a big portion size and they do not skimp out on the meat. My favorite was the green sauce on the side. It does have a kick so make sure to order extra if you like that! You order your food on a kiosk and the kitchen staff have it out and ready in 10 minutes. The inside is really small with a couple tables outside. This place is more for takeout so you can also place your order online. read more

I was SO excited to try this place as a crispy pork lover, but my experience fell short from my high expectations. The cons: super busy on weekends, minimal-to-no dining space and quite pricey. The pros: fresh quality ingredients. The skin on the pork was not crunchy (more tough), but the fat to meat ratio was nice. I feel like the rice bowl lacked overall flavor and personally wasn't a fan of the sauce. read more

There are a few ghost kitchens popping up in this business park area. Although Saiga does have some seating, the place seems to mainly focus on delivery and takeout orders. I ordered the pork belly garlic noodles and a drink and overall i was satisfied with the food and the flavors. Although i wouldnt necessarily go out of my way to eat here, it is somewhat close to where i work so having the option for something different than the brick and mortar locations i usually frequent is a nice change of pace. read more

Parking: Find parking is very easy. This location is located in a business plaza. Tricky to find at first because their signs are very small. Make sure to enter through door A. Ambiance/Environment: Walking in, you'll notice the place is very small with some seating. It's a quick service, grab & go and you seat yourself. Service: You don't really interact with a worker, unless you have a question. There was no worker at the register when I walked in. You can place an online order and pickup. If you decide to seat yourself, you'd order through the iPads. There are two iPads you can order from. After ordering, they do tell you wait times are 15-30 minutes in preparation for the food. Food: They specialize in modern Vietnamese takeout. I was told their pork belly is their speciality, so of course I had to try it. You're able to choose a main dish and choice of protein. You can also customize it how you prefer. They also offer frozen foods in which you can purchase at the register, and make it in the comfort of your home or bring to work and enjoy. I decided to order and dine. What I ate: 1. Vietnamese Iced Coffee - don't make the mistake of drinking this during dinner time like me. This drink will keep you awake! As someone who drinks Vietnamese iced coffee religiously, I absolutely loved this; its richness, bittersweet taste. 10/10 2. Garlic Noodles with Pork Belly - I usually don't go for pork, but since it was their specialty, I had to test it out for myself. I was very surprised of how crispy and juicy their pork was! The garlic noodles were flavorful (can't really mess up garlic noodles). Everything paired with the green sauce was delicious. 9/10 3. Kimchi Fried Rice with BBQ Chicken - Since I was craving a rice dish, I decided to try this. The only critique I have, is that I prefer the rice to be a bit more spicier. Though, it went well with the egg and BBQ chicken. The chicken was very delicious and mouthwatering. 8/10 Pricing: My total came out to $32 with some cents. In all honesty, the prices are $$$ than usual. I prefer the portions to be a bit bigger. But I'm not surprised since it's located in Irvine. Though, the concept is modern and convenient (especially being located in a business plaza). I would still come back to try their other pork belly specials and Vietnamese iced coffee! read more

I love the convenience of their ordering system! Quick and easy because you can order and pay from the two tablets they have. They will either call or text you when your order is ready!

I loved my experience the ambiance was very cozy, relaxing, and welcoming. The service was so helpful I was attended right away which I really appreciate. For the food and drinks it had such great and rich flavors. I opted for the Pho Combination and the Chicken Banh Mi both equally delicious. As for the drinks I had the Pumpkin Spice Vietnamese Latte which was my absolute favorite for the fall time! And the Lemon Guava Green Tea which is freshly brewed everyday. read more

For more content follow IG: asianphatty Saiga Eatery is a really hidden restaurant in Irvine, CA, I almost didn't see it! But I'm happy we found this place. I really enjoyed everything I got and it was all so filling! They are mainly do takeout, but you do have the option to sit inside, there are limited seats and it's a bit hot inside. But about the food, it was really good in my opinion! What we got: garlic noodle w/ pork belly: POUR THE GREEN SAUCE IN THE WHOLE THING, we thought it was for dipping until the end where we poured it in for our last 2 bites and it tasted so good mixed together. I should have poured the whole thing in the bowl. But the pork belly was really delicious, it was tender and crispy! kimchi fried rice w/ pork belly: I was not sure what to expect but this one was also really good! They do cut the pork belly different and smaller in this bowl, I preferred how the pork belly was cut in the garlic noodles but it was still good. This was different from other kimchi fried rice's I've tried! strawberry lemonade: make sure to mix the bottom to the top! We didn't do that and at first it tasted watered down/not sweet, but it was just the top, the flavor dropped down to the bottom, but at the bottom it was goood. lychee lemonade: I personally enjoyed this one more, I thought it had more taste overall compared to the strawberry one! read more

Had a quick pho at Saiga during lunch and ended up sharing a table with a stranger, definitely a rushed experience as I had to move quickly for the next person's turn. Personally, I don't think I'll be back, as the pho didn't quite justify the price for me. Their business model is nice and efficient, catering well to the busy lunch crowd. A cool concept, but not my go-to for pho in OC. read more

This place has been on my list since 2021 and I finally moved to Irvine so I had to give it a try. We came after work on a random weekday. They are located in a business center and they have plenty of parking so it wasn't hard to find any. You order on a kiosk and then they bring the food to you in a to go bag within 10 to 15 minutes. You can either eat there or you can bring it home, but we opted to just eat there, they have about 5 to 6 tables for people to dine in. Thai tea - hit the spot! I rarely order this out because I know how to make it myself but they were spot on Strawberry lemonade - More on the tart side than sweet Crispy tofu banh mi - The bread crunch when you bite into it! I love that they have vegetarian options here! Don't sleep on their tofu Egg rolls - warm & crispy, the perfect side to any meal Bbq chicken w/ garlic noodles - the chicken flavor is so yum and their garlic noodles hit too! Don't forget to drizzle their sauce on top Bbq chicken w/ kimchi fried rice - Not a strong kimchi flavor, good for those who want a non intimidating way to get into trying kimchi Crispy pork belly w/ vermicelli - My my, hands down the best dish!! The pork belly was SO CRISPY and the vermicelli had flavor as well :) Drown it in their fish sauce but I prefer soy sauce Can NOT wait to come back! read more

Yummmmm, talk about food that hits the spot for all your Vietnamese cravings!! Delicious food, special crafted drinks and even frozen food to stock up on for later! We enjoyed amazing kimchi fried rice, with a fried egg and juicy pork belly packed with lots of flavor. I saved some for the next day and it was just as good!! We also had the Pork Belly Banh Mi, which was on a fresh baguette that had the perfect crunch on-top! For drinks we enjoyed a Vietnamese coffee and the seasonal Vietnamese peppermint latte, my favorite! Tables inside if you want to sit and eat or gran and go. Tips: All orders are packed TO-GO, even if you plan to eat here. You can order online, at the Kiosk in store or at the counter! They do catering orders as well! Will be ordering to go for my next craving fix! read more

Truly a hidden gem! Saiga positions itself as a modernized Vietnamse eatery that does the classics right. If you're craving for Vietnamese Saiga pretty much has you covered. They have everything from Banh Mi, Rice Bowls, Garlic Noodles, Vermicelli and even Pho. There is limited seating inside, but great for a quick bite or lunch break. Otherwise I think they're a perfect option for takeout! Service was also nice and they even let us know that the pork belly would take longer since it was being prepared fresh. I ordered the Egg Rolls, Pork Belly Garlic Noodles and the Grilled Pork Rice Bowl. Egg Rolls: Nice and crispy and good amount of filling. They also provide a sweet and sour sauce which was good with them, I usually prefer fish sauce but in a to go setting I think the sweet and sour is smart. Pork Belly Garlic Noodles: Garlic noodles not too overpowering with garlic and seasoned correctly. Crispy Pork Belly stole the show! According to their website it is a family recipe, and it is perfect. Crispy on the outside, juicy meat and not too fatty. I think one of the best pork bellies I've had in a while. Grilled Pork Rice Bowl: Lots of pickled veggies and rice. Grilled Pork was great and you could taste the char that Vietnamese grilled pork is known for. Overall left very satisfied and rooting for their success. read more

Hole in a wall place that is great for a quick meal~ Saiga Vietnam eatery is in a business complex on Mac Arthur, a little hard to find but plenty of parking. The place is small with few indoor seating. You can order at a kiosk inside or online. I got the rice bowl with crispy pork belly ($14). Service was quick and my order came out within 10min. All orders are pre packed in containers with utensils. My bowl came with crispy pork, jasmine rice, veggies , and a aioli sauce. The pork was crispy and flavorful, came with a generous amount of veggies and rice. Sauce could have had more flavor. Overall solid Asian place with filling dishes~ Would love to try the garlic noodz my next visit! read more
