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

The pho soups are outstanding. The basil, sprouts, jalapeño slices and lime wedges that accompany the soups are always crisp and fresh. I love the spring rolls too. And have you ever tried an avocado shake? Oh so good. I didn't think I would try one but at the urging of Vickie, the owner, way back when they first opened, I did. I'm glad I did. While eating, I noticed a very large part of their business was take out. I stream of people were running in, paying at the counter and leaving with bags of hot food. Years ago when Saigon 2 came to Rio Rancho, I gave the place a full 5+ stars on another site. I was thrilled to explore the menu and I was consistently pleased. I ate here often. But today, after being away for awhile, I felt uneasy when I first sat at a booth. The seats are torn and the carpet is worn/dirty. The mini blinds on the window have soy sauce splattered on them. I just couldn't give 5 stars today. But I will go back. read more

Love this place!! Great food! Super fresh and quick service. Pho is so good on a cold day. Egg rolls are some of the best I've had.

I was very impressed. Friendly efficient customer service and the food was delicious. The vegetables were so fresh and the flavors were wonderful. A great find indeed. read more

I was really impressed with the beef pho. It was a really good amount. The aroma of the spices blending together along with cilantro, fresh basil, bean sprouts, and makes an awesome combination of flavors that make a tummy warm. This is a great remedy for cold or a night on the town. They have large and extra large for those who cannot get enough. There are many drinks to choose from. I really like thai iced tea along with pho. It is a good size of restaurant especially if you want to get away from it all. The service was very good, he was attentive and checked to make sure everything was good. It's a good place to bring a date or famliy. I plan on returning to try more items on the menu. I was happy to finally try this place out. I've been to many places on the west side so far this place takesthe cake for being on this location. I seriously recommend this place. read more

Saigon 2 - Time for some rare beef and tripe pho. Yum :) first time here. - Vietnamese Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Good food at a reasonable price. The rice plate came with a large pork chop and fried egg.

My family and I really enjoy this restaurant. They are really nice and accommodating. We go often because they have nothing but fresh food and really good tasting food as well. My kids enjoy going by themselves which I think it's great that teenagers and early 20 year olds are enjoying healthy food. Give it a try, I truly believe you will enjoy it. read more

Ordered the rice noodle with sautéed beef and was literally given 6 pieces of beef total for the meal after waiting an hour past the time we were told the meal would be ready for pick up. I usually enjoy this place but am incredibly disappointed. All other meals in the order were given an appropriate amount of meat, it is disappointing to pay $13 for practically only noodles read more

Saigon 2 - Rice noodle with sautéed beef - Vietnamese Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

I love this place! I can't believe it was only a mile down the road. They're clean and fast; reasonably priced. Not to mention the food is absolutely delicious! I had the clay pot rice with grilled chicken and the rice was amazing it had mushrooms, bacon, and seasonings that weren't too overpowering. It paired deliciously with the grilled chicken and even a couple piece of shrimp in there to give you a surprise. Also had the fried prawns which were super crispy not as much meat but nothing was overly greasy. My husband enjoyed the pho which had great broth flavor and a nice kick with their chili sauce. read more

This Chinese food is amazing. I will continue to come here. I enjoyed every bite!! If I could rate this place higher than a 5 star, I would.

Best pho on the west side/ Rio Rancho in my opinion. It's always been on point. We usually order take out but when we eat in the restaurant the service is always good. read more

Hands down this is my favorite spot to eat pho. Not just because I live on this side of town but because the broth is absolutely amazing. Anything I'd change? Just a bit more noodles and I'll be good. I've tried numerous pho places around town and I haven't found anything close to this. I will always be a return customer! read more

We are travelers to this town and I was hungry and just used the navigator to find a close place to eat. We decided to be bold and go get Vietnamese food. Don't let the exterior of the store fool you. The food is so amazing!!! Everything we ordered was incredible, but my favorite was raw tofu spring rolls, the rare beef noodle, and the beef and prawn vermicelli. To top it off the server checked in on us a few times and even mixed a sauce up to dip our meat in or put in our soup and it was very tasty!!! Must try this little hole in the wall gem! read more

Finally I've found a fantastic Vietnamese restaurant on my side of town!!! The food was wonderful, service was excellent and location was easy to find! I will be back most definitely. read more

Saigon 2 - Vietnamese Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

I come here pretty regularly and every time I eat here it's never disappointing. Yesterday I came here with some friends and we tried a lot of different appetizers and had some pho. Naturally, the pho was on point and the broth, noodles and vegetables are so fresh and tasty it's pretty mind blowing. I had Rare Beef Pho and my friend had the seafood special which has crab, shrimp and squid. These are our go-to dishes when we eat here. Both of us loved our bowls and we've come to expect this from Saigon 2. We also tried their pork spring rolls, egg rolls, fried wantons and the tempura prawns. The clear star of these appetizers was the tempura prawns. I personally don't even eat shrimp, but I could tell these were special and my friends were blown away by them. You have to see them to believe them. For our healthy (somewhat) desserts we had an avocado Boba smoothie and a strawberry Boba smoothie. They were fantastic and they have those cool huge Boba straws for the delicious Boba balls that make the drinks fun. I've been to this restaurant MANY times. I've never been disappointed and I don't expect to be any time in the future. The staff and owners are incredibly nice and helpful, and will do anything to make your visit a great one. If you're on the west side in Rio Rancho, and looking for the best Asian / Vietnamese meal you can get; it's here. Don't bother with anyone else. read more

Gone are the days of turning to pizza whenever the need to not cook comes around. Vietnamese food has become my new go to food when I want to eat out. Saigon 2 is awesome. I'm not really sure if they are affiliated with the Saigon in the southeast quadrant of Albuquerque. But I will say that if they are, this Saigon is better. The place is a bit small, but I've never really seen it packed to the point that you are not seated immediately. The waiters are very quick to attend to you and bring out your food quickly. I usually have the combination Pho or the combination rice noodle bowl. I've got into a new habit of asking them to make my combination Pho spicy. I really enjoy the food they make here. Portions are big and the food is delicious. If you're wanting good Vietnamese food in the Rio Rancho area, this is the place to go. read more

Saigon 2 opened in Rio Rancho on 11/11/11. It quickly became a favorite. Excellent food beautifully prepared. The menus at Saigon and Saigon 2 are almost identical. Vicky was there the night we dropped in for our initial Westside visit. But this time I had to try my favorite pho-pho tai nam, with the tai on a separate plate to be added at the table. This keeps it from being overcooked, and it still retains the texture and taste of very rare beef. This pho is outstanding, and among the very best in the Duke City area. Fragrant, tasty, and beautifully spiced. We tried two appetizers: Pork and shrimp spring rolls (great) and stir-fried mussels with tamarind (#9 on the menu). These guys were plump, tender, and succulent, and the tamarind-based sauce is a welcome addition to the customary white wine and garlic steaming broth that is widespread here. Delicious, and a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. Wash the whole meal down with a glass of fresh lemonade, and ask for it to be not too sweet with some salt added. This salty lemonade has long been my favorite beverage in Vietnamese restaurants since I discovered it thirty years ago. The Vietnamese iced coffee is excellent here, too. * read more

I'm actually going to give this place a 3.5. The food was tasty and fresh, but way overpriced for what you get.

Love their beef pho. I can't eat the normal huge bowl that's served and they always let me order a child's size, which is actually still a good amount. We go there quiet often, they have a big menu selection although I usually just go to get my pho fix. Their broth is good for the soul! read more

Our favorite Vietnamese food that we often go once or twice a week whether it dine I. Or take out. The owner is very friendly and we were so happy when they finally opened in Rio Rancho and no longer have to drive to Saigon on SanMateo. The egg roil is a must for everyone! read more

Tried the Lemongrass Chicken, was absolutely delicious. Finished the entire plate, not to mention the service was great and they were very quick to make the food. Definitely recommend! read more

SO GOOD!!! Love the egg rolls. I always get extra veggies and dip it in the sauce, yum! I also love their pho. Their avocado shakes are amazing too absolutely love Saigon 2:) read more

Everything seems fresh and tastes good. We had the #11 which is just the basic beef pho and the #27 which is a spicier pho. They were both quick and good. The place seems clean and the service is good. The average price seemed to be around $10 per person. If you like pho and are in Rio Rancho you should go here. read more

Saigon 2 - This is a picture out the window looking at Unser right across from WalMart - Vietnamese Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

It was surprisingly delicious! My first time here recently and they sold me on the taste of that lemongrass chicken

This Place has the best Pho I've ever had... Everything is so fresh and the table side service is impeccable. If you are new to Pho this is the place for you... I also had egg rolls (6) for 8 bucks, which the waiter showed us exactly they should be eaten... He even made my sauce for the Pho tableside according to my taste. I will definitely return to try other things on the menu. The portion sizes are also very generous. Wish this place was in Gallup. read more

Saigon 2 is a little hidden gem off of Unser that provides a combination of exceptional service and really tasty Vietnamese cuisine. It's hard not to order more than one item. Everything from the egg rolls (which you wrap in lettuce and add from the plate of toppings it comes with) to the bowls are amazing. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! read more

seems maybe family or friends reviewing this place. A higher rating brought me here and what a mind boggling disappointment! Totally tasteless to the point of leaving 2/3 of my food. No matter what spices or additions, was like dishwater. So damn disappointed and a waste of $$$. Do not understand high ratings. Went during the lunch hour and there was only one other table occupied. BS on the high ratings! read more

Best Pho I have ever had and it's not even close! Plus the owner is excellent with all guests and the atmosphere is nice and quiet. This is up there with my favorite restaurants here in town. Have never left disappointed! read more

My husband & I LOVE this place! We both work more than full time, our date nights are usually crunched unfortunately, Saigon 2 fills the bill for either take out or dine in. Fast service, consistent (we've NEVER had a problem with our food) & price is great! We both have our favorites, and they never disappoint! read more

Some of the best Pho in the city with a flavorful broth and great service. It's a small place, but don't let that stop you from visiting. The shredded pork spring rolls are good, and it doesn't have any bothersome televisions in the main dining area, a real rarity these days. When I go for rare beef pho, this is among my favorite locations. read more

Have been here so many times since moving closer to Rio rancho from ABQ, finally decided to review. Pho broth is awesome, noodles and beef delicious, Thai iced tea is spot on. I have tried some of the combo dishes here too and they're excellent. Wife and I are regulars. read more

Saigon 2 - #18 oh so good. Love this place - Vietnamese Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

The food is always fresh and delicious. Love their Pho and Bun. I typically get the grilled Port but this time I got the shrimp bun. Delicious and perfectly cooked. I will add that I think 3 shrimp for an entree is not enough protein for a main dish especially when paying extra for shrimp. I ended up cooking a few more from home because I didn't have enough meat to eat with my noodles. I will go back to my favorite grilled pork and know that there is a generous amount of delicious grilled meat and I can rarely eat the whole dish. read more

One of the best places for pho in the area! This place is hopping with take-out orders every time we go and they're pretty busy inside (they don't have a ton of tables, but they're still doing something right). The broth is really flavorful and the meat is good too (meat with tons of fat is a huge pet peeve of mine, but their cuts are always really lean). I would give them 4.5 stars because my only complaint is the sauce they serve with the summer rolls (the peanut sauce is a weird consistency and then they put a scoop of something really spicy in it - I'm not a huge fan, but my husband likes it). Pho is on point and they have the best/my favorite iced coffee in the area (ask for a splash of half and half along with the condensed milk - heaven!). read more

One of the best pho places in New Mexico! Their broth is so savory and delicious I go at least once a week!!

I order here often. I always get the pho all rare beef and egg rolls. Always on point. Had a few other dishes as well here and they were good too. Fast and friendly service. Try them! read more

Well prepared Vietnamese dishes. The Won Ton soup was very flavorful, and the rice noodle dish came with healthy servings of everything I including the marinated pork. The staff was very polite, prepared our meal to go quickly and served us cold drinks while we waited. We will be back!! read more

Great pho, and the egg rolls are on point. We love going to this joint, the spring rolls are also very good. My kids don't like soup too much they get lemon grass chicken and they always finish the plate which is a rarity because they have way bigger eyes than appetite. Good service and good food, a win for asian food enthusiasts. read more

It's expensive not really worth it. I prefer the original on San Mateo. My food was cold not only that it took a long time to get my order ready. read more

Been coming here for a couple of years now and they always give big portions. Huge selection of dishes. Very affordable too. The workers are always very nice and friendly. Get the combination pho or wonton noodle soup - very flavorful and perfect during the winter, rainy days or when you are sick. Eggs rolls are a must as well. Not much of a soup fan? Many rice noodle and broken rice dishes to choose from, stir fry, vegetarian dishes, and many more! I'm glad they have this location close to my house and the ABQ location in San Mateo is only a 5 min drive from my work. Win-win!! read more
