Based on reviews we headed out on our 20 some minute drive to get here. Nice staff, seemingly family owned. The food was ok. These days that's not good enough for the price tag you pay. I was a little disappointed based on the reviews, and I recognize everyone's tastes are different. I had the lemongrass chicken and rice dish (I think it was #62). My husband had a similar dish that added egg rolls. I also ordered a Vietnamese coffee - it was excellent. The food: I liked my chicken, very well cooked - I would have liked a bit more flavor. Good taste, just needed more of the seasoning. My husband was similar, he did not like the egg rolls. It's not bad, not great, for the $$ ( we spent about $50) - - - -probably won't bring me back. read more

Excellent display of South Vietnamese cuisine the broken rice dishes were savory. The pho dac biet (the special) extra spicy was delicious. Even the spring rolls (goi cuon?) were tasty. I'm definitely going to be back. read more

I came here with my sister and my nieces, and they absolutely love this place, the staff knows them by now, which says a lot! They usually come for the pho, so for my first visit I had to try what they're always raving about. I ordered the chicken noodle pho and a shrimp spring roll, and both were delicious. I can definitely see why this spot is so popular and why customers keep coming back. The customer service was friendly and welcoming, especially toward their regulars. The restaurant was clean, and yes... the water even tasted good:) if you know, you know. Highly recommend! read more

The food was amazing and authentic. The service was so polite and quick. I love going to local businesses.

Cute little place tucked into a strip mall. We were looking for something to eat on a cold day and soup sounded perfect. My husband started with the shrimp and pork spring roll and he really liked it. They do not skimp on the filling! I wasn't sure what to order, as the menu has so many options, the owner came over and was asking what I liked and didn't like and he said he had just the thing. I got rice noodle soup with tofu and vegetables and my husband got the rare beef with rice noodles and extra shrimp. The portion sizes are very generous and the broth was absolutely delicious! This place did not disappoint! The owner was so nice and helpful. Definitely recommend! read more

I usually go to the original restaurant and come here occasionally. This time I ordered take out of the egg roll appetizer, that I love. She didn't give me a total over the phone and when I picked it up, the price was 15.99+ tax. I was a little shocked, to say the least... there were only 2 lettuce leaves and 3 scrawny sprigs on cilantro for 6 very small egg rolls. They tasted old and the fish sauce tasted like it had gone bad. The egg rolls were filled with almost nothing! It was not the first bad experience there. Will not return to this location! read more

Best Pho I've experienced ever!! Authentic food with a broth that made the dish!! Fresh ingredients and a healthy portion of food. Husband had the dry rice dish and it was a solid 4.5 out of 5 according to him. The staff are friendly and helpful and service was prompt. A definite place to revisit. read more

Just so delicious and the staff/owners are just the sweetest people. Dropped by for chicken pho and seafood salad takeout. Thank you for rescuing my Mother's Day! read more

My family and I got some amazing pho and egg rolls from this place. Also a few other dishes we shared to try more than one thing. The service was great and the owner was very friendly. They answered all of our questions and let us know how to eat the egg rolls. We weren't waiting long for our food which was awesome, since they were busy! We all enjoyed it and will be returning! read more

This is my absolute favorite pho place when I'm not at my grandparents! My husband and I probably dine here 1-2 times a month. Their rare beef noodle pho is the best. The service is very quick and attentive. It is also nice and peaceful to eat here. read more

Best pho hands down! The broth here is the best I have found in the area. Great service, family owned restaurant with personable staff!

We've never been able to get here when it's opened, after finishing up some biz in the area we decided to see if it was open, it was so we're here. Not overly busy, so seating was easy to find. Started with pork & shrimp spring rolls, ordered Curried Beef and Curried Chicken for entrees. With the obligatory Thai Tea. Spring rolls came out fast, with a peanut sauce topped with peanuts and Sriracha sauce. Nice heat to go with the sweet. Following right behind the appetizers was our entrees. Both were excellent, mild heat and loaded with flavor. The beef was tender as was the chicken. There was just enough to fill us up. The service was outstanding and our meal was relatively inexpensive. Sorry we didn't stop by here sooner. read more

We ordered the special chicken clay pot and the beef pho. $25. This is the best pho in Rio Rancho and while the clay pot is not as good as the clay pot at Basil Leaf - it is still pretty good. The clay pot is full of many more things than chicken. The mushrooms were especially tasty. This one compares to the combination clay pot at most places because it has shrimp and lap cheong and nuts. This is a great place to eat as the staff and everything we've ever tried has always been delightful. read more

I was in the neighborhood and was craving some pho! I picked this one because the one on San Mateo is delicious. I ordered the pho dac biet, and it was average not a lot of flavor in the broth and missing the brisket, tendons. ): I also ordered a ice coffee and it tasted burnt. Maybe they were having a off day... read more

The food was okay. But the entire restaurant smelled like septic. Idk if it was just on the day I was there or if it's a constant problem. It literally smelled like the inside of a portapotty read more

It's Saturday night! So you know that means there's another restaurant review this time courtesy of a double whammy. Wanted to go for jerk chicken, as an officer gave me the idea during the week, however, the place was closed by the time we arrived and it just so happened that Mark's GPS saved the night, bringing us to this quaint strip mall Vietnamese restaurant, #saigon2restaurant in #riorancho. We ordered pho and combination soft egg noodles. The contrasts between raw and cooked and the contrasting flavors between the ingredients made the dishes really flavorful and the broth was delicious! Bonus... I got to keep the plastic chopsticks! (Long behinded story and super sweet servers and staff!). Definitely a great place! A 5 star home run from me! #gourmetrecovery #restaurantreview #riorancho read more

Always amazing service and delicious food options. Restaurant can be full and noise level is minimal. We love this place!

This is our go to spot for Pho. The broth is so delicious. My daughter who is a somewhat picky eater loves their grilled lemongrass chicken. We eat here often, about once every two weeks, because it's so good. The service is fast & friendly. Every time we call in an order she always lets us know it'll be 10-15 mins & it's always ready on time. If you're looking for some authentic, simple, delicious Vietnamese food...this is the place. I only wish they had a crunchy stick in their spring rolls. However, that's a personal preference. read more

This past weekend my wife and I went to Saigon 2, for the first time. WOW, were we completely surprised! Although Vietnamese cuisine is still new to me, we were delighted with everything that we had. We started with 2 spring rolls of shrimp & pork. They came in rice paper, especially with the accompanying dipping sauce with peanut and garlic. For my main course I used the Yelp app on my phone, to see what people recommended. Very helpful, when you're not too familiar with the cuisine. I ordered the combination plate #81, which came with lemongrass chicken, fried rice (very tasty!), 3 large butterflied prawns and steamed vegetables. The presentation was very appealing. Good presentation of food is essential, I believe, to the total enjoyment of the meal. My wife had curried chicken over rice, with coconut & peanut butter. She found it very delicious. The service was nice and friendly. Very helpful, especially for newbies to Vietnamese food. The establishment is smaller than I expected it to be. Perhaps that's due to its location. And in a way, it reminded me of what I've seen in movies such as the recent Crazy Rich Asians, where people go to street food vendors in order to enjoy really great food in a vibrant setting. What I regret is that it too us so long to go to Saigon 2! We live near by, it's a great pity that we haven't gone here before. We will definitely return, soon and often! read more

Outstandingly fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked and presented. I had the#32-beef and shrimp with glass noodles, fresh carrot, bean sprouts and other small, tasty veggies. My friend had #81 combo and said it was excellent. Came with egg rolls, seasoned rice and lemon grass chicken. Service was prompt and friendly, ambiance was nice, but I'm more about the delicious food. Don't miss this place! read more

Always wonderful! Food is fantastic, fresh, delicious, my little boy loves the noodle patties and broken rice with cucumbers. Can never go wrong no matter what dish you try! I think everything is fabulous, even the sour plumb soda is superb. Definitely recommend if you want the best pho or authentic food with wonderful service, environment or fast take home to have with your kids. read more

Great great great great great great great great pho. However, the chicken. Yes, the chicken needs a tad more flavor.

Every time I eat at this restaurant I am never disappointed. The owners are very nice and always so helpful with the menu. This time my family and I ordered 3 rare beef Pho to go. I happen to eat a lot of Asian food and had my own huge Pho bowls at home. The broth is so good from this restaurant. My family and I love to put all the amazing veggies on a plate so we can customize our Pho to our liking. All we do is warm up the broth to almost boil, then pour over meat, noodles and onions. We wait til meat is cooked before we add anything else, the we dig in. This restaurant is very clean and always very welcoming. Anything on their menu is fresh. They have amazing avocado shakes and limeade as well. I recommend this restaurant to anyone. Enjoy. read more

Always the best. Food and service and a cute little place to eat. So delicious! Best place for pho.

First of all the hours of operation and days the place is open is not correct on Yelp, they were open on a Monday when I stopped by. I had the combo beef pho which was very good and satisfying as was the Vietnamese coffee with ice. What I could not wrap my head around was how in need of a good cleaning the place was in need of. The table was sticky, the carpet was way past due for a cleaning and the walls were in need of a good cleaning. Most places struggle from the back of the house in the kitchen, this place was let down by the front of the house. There is just no excuse for the dining area to be this dirty, so dirty that it just stands out. read more

The restaurant is in a shopping outlet. The only reason I ended up there was because friends invited me to a girls luncheon. Its not a big place but can hold a large group. I ordered Rice stick noodle with grilled slice pork and egg roll. Yummmm this is the best. The waiter shared a nice tip to use the sauces at table with our food. Very delicious meal, all fresh.

Saigon 2 Restaurant serves good, solid Vietnamese food. Tonight, I ordered the tasty Phò Bò, which comes with rice noodles, tender sliced beef steak, beef tendon, and the usual assortment of add-ins, like bean sprouts, cilantro, sliced jalapenos, and Thai basil. I can't recall if there was fresh mint or not, but if not, it wasn't missed. The broth, which was pork-based, was thin but tasty - not too spicy even with the added jalapenos. The best part about Phò is the low price. Our total (two people) was only about $15. Whatadeal. The ambiance was pleasant, and out waiter was friendly and attentive. Would I go out of my way to dine here? Probably. It is easy to get Phò, but hard to get really good Phò. read more
