Great spot for Vietnamese food! My son and I dropped in for a late lunch and were really impressed. Parking was a breeze, and the restaurant is nice and roomy. Friendly service, excellent prices, and a huge menu with something for everyone. My son loved his banh mi and my pork chop was fantastic. We'll definitely be back!
If you have a party of 1 to a party 30, Saigon Brother can easily accommodate you. Great service, clean, beautiful place and delicious food. my daughter and I recently went with my son and five of his college friends. My son lives in Eugene, Oregon and the Vietnamese restaurants (hard to find) does not compare to Saigon Brothers. When I asked my son what he wants to do for lunch, first thing that came out of his mouth was Saigon brothers. So I packed everyone in my car and off to Saigon Brothers we went. All his friends loved it, they said they wish they had this restaurant at their college. They'll be here for the summer and will be visiting Saigon Brothers several times with their family and friends. Thank you, Saigon brothers for always being awesome
When we are in the mood for a solid bahn mi, we prefer their bread which is baked fresh and tastes like it. Their boba drinks are well done too, but their egg coffee is what brought me to this review. I don't usually take milk with my coffee, but this is another level, creamy and rich. Stir it well. And it's also probably niche because not many boba tea places around here offer it. But let me tell you, it is a decadent kind of cold drink that feels reminiscent of holiday egg nog, but added to strong Vietnamese coffee. The result is something memorable and indulgent and worth the visit if you can't make the trip down to Westminster.
Unfortunately, our recent dinner at Saigon fell well short of expectations. Beef: The meat in the pho was quite tough and chewy, which suggested it needed significantly more time to simmer. Fried Rice: The rice arrived dry and cold in the middle, giving the impression that it was refrigerated and only briefly microwaved before serving. Shrimp: The shrimp was noticeably overcooked and extremely dry. It was a disappointing meal overall, and sadly not an experience we'd look to repeat.
I've been a repeat customer for a few years. I am sad that the prices have gone up (understandable) but the quantity and quality has gone significantly downhill. The portion was way off, I received more veggies than meat in my plate. Not sure if I can return. :(
Love Pho, and this is a great spot here in Northridge. Been here many times and started a review and realized I never finished it. The restaurant itself has a lot of seating, all inside, nothing outdoor at this location. Inside is clean and practical. It does have a beautiful painted mural along the entire wall which I don't believe was there before, but whomever did it, did an excellent job, pretty cool. The staff is super friendly, the food comes out fast and they come around often making sure we had everything we need and keeping drinks full. Places that keep my drink full are places with great service typically. I almost always get one of the Pho soups, but tonight I decided to get their Cornish Game Hen with veggies and rice, a chef's special. It was very, very tasty. The hen was done with a really crisp outside and super tender inside. I added jalapeños and cilantro as well. Excellent choice. My wife got her vermicelli noodles with grilled pork and egg rolls with fish sauce on the side. This is also an excellent tasting dish and I would recommend either of these as well as the Pho here and pretty much everything here tastes amazing. Unfortunately, I did not get shots of the menu. They are located at the corner of Nordhoff and Reseda. Large parking lot with plenty of parking. Enjoy!
I have been to Saigon Brothers in Northridge, on numerous occasions. Each visit has been rewarding, one way or the other. This time, to get a carry out of their Banh Mi with grilled beef. Together with, pate, julienned cucumbers, carrots, jalapeño and other ingredients inside a split baguette is a joy to savor. Especially, if the baguette is well toasted to have a crisp but soft exterior that gives you a good crunch and a bite, at the same time. Saigon Brothers has never disappointed in this department. Their Banh Mi is a superbly freshly assembled preparation. They take good care of you while you wait for your order to be prepared. Always providing dependable, friendly and customer oriented service.
Love this place. I go here at least once a week now! Great service, good portions and delicious soups.
My order was to go - and we ordered pork & eggroll vermicelli plate, eggrolls, and bo ne sizzling skillet with homemade bread. For a to go order I was quite surprised because our eggrolls still came out crunchy when we got home. The homemade bread was delicious although a little chewy maybe it's good heated or toasted. The vermicelli plate my sister had was also delicious although it wasn't my cup of tea. Place was clean, staff was so fast and directed us where to pick up our order. It's a different flavor for Vietnamese food - they put in their different twist on their flavor. Lots of seating. Lots of parking in a big plaza.
Used to order all the time but so disappointed with the servings. Ordered the beef with lemongrass vermicelli and look how little meat they gave lol
We ordered the chicken pho and the soup was tasty. The chicken though is a bit dry even when they're in the soup. The place is clean and busy on a Sunday afternoon. Plenty of families with kids. Next time we want to try the rice dishes and their sandwiches. We will be back for more
Was craving some pho and my friends had suggested this spot, and they highly recommended it. I ordered the steak pho and in all honesty it was okay, I compare it to my favorite spot roughly down the street. For me personally, I thought the noodles were a little too firm for my preference. However, the food that my friends got and they absolutely loved it. The service was really good, the staff were really nice which I appreciated. The inside the restaurant had a nice aesthetic to it. Overall, I think this place was okay if you're in the area and wanting some pho
I returned to Saigon Brothers after a really great first visit and this time the experience was a bit different. It was a busy Friday night and the team seemed understandably stretched. Service felt a little chaotic, and at one point I was handed another guest's credit card by mistake with my bill after I just started eating my bowl of pho. The avocado shake was lighter in flavor than expected and tasted more milky than avocado-forward. The pho was still good, but the portion of meat seemed smaller than what I remembered from my last visit. For around $27 for a regular size bowl of pho and a shake including tip, I wasn't sure the value was quite there this time. I know prices are going up everywhere, and the restaurant was clearly doing a big dinner rush, so maybe it was just an off night. If you're looking for a place that is less chaotic, try Khuu Bistro when you're in the mood for Vietnamese food.
Saigon Brothers absolutely hit the spot. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet The Pho Dac Biet had a rich, flavorful broth that tasted like it had been simmering for hours. It was clean, aromatic, and packed with tender meats that were cooked perfectly. Every bite was comforting and satisfying. read more
This location is very close to the college campus so it's an ideal place to have a meal if you're a student, visiting a student, or celebrating a student's achievement. They have numerous options on their menu. The service is friendly. And the atmosphere is casual to elevated. Parking can be tight, but it's available. I had the hen which was pretty good, but just a bit dry. I don't highly recommend it but I don't necessarily want to steer you away from it if you're really in the mood for it. Next time, I would try the lemongrass chicken or any of their Pho (which my family members enjoyed). Prices are reasonable. read more

Came in, quick service. servers always kind. Ordered the egg rolls (I've had before and they are always delicious. Comes with sauce, carrots, cucumbers and mint) and Grilled Pork Bahn Mi for the first time. Wow. Bread was fresh and warm. It's made in house! it was DELICIOUS. So glad I tried. The bread was so warm and fluffy but had a nice crunch on the outside. Pork is always a go to, especially for the Spring Rolls too. Do recommend the eggrolls, Pho, and now the Bahn Mi! Can't wait to come back and try the rest of their menu! read more

Updating my review. Sadly this place has gone down. Quality and quantity of food. I came in last month to try something new. I usually always get Pho. I tried the beef bone soup. Broth was so watery and bland. Meat on the bone was rubbery and tasteless. I thought maybe it was just a bad day. Gave them a try again last week. I ordered the beef salad, and a child's plate of grilled chicken, which came with noodles or rice and an egg roll. The beef in the salad was fatty and rubbery. And a very small amount. The child plate cost $12.99! Egg roll was old, chicken had a weird old taste. Noodles were disgusting so I ordered white rice which I was charged an additional $3.00. This was a horrible expensive lesson. I also had bubble guts later on at home. Like I said,the chicken tasted weird. I won't be coming back and I no longer recommend. read more

Let me know if you have heard this story before, its a cold afternoon in Northridge, CA. With a air of chill and the possibility of rain in the air, your stomach lets out a faint grumble. Your hungry! What do you do? Well, that was my story after leaving church and my friends and I were looking for something warm to really warm us up. Thanks to yelp, we found Saigon Brothers. Located close to Cal State Northridge, it is perfect position for college students to warm up. But, does it live up to the hype? The interior is minimalistic with a single TV showing any local sports or news. So it gives off that family diner vibe. Yet, it was a bit empty. To me, that set off some alarm bells. Service was immediate as there were at least 6-7 people consistently making everyone feel at home. Now to test the water, I ordered my normal Beef Rib Pho. As pictured it came with 3 chunks of meat. Sampling the beef pho, warm beef broth with a touch of salty aftertaste, which in my opinion was wonderful. But the star of the show, the beef ribs. The meat was tender and the it did not fail the bone test! That to me was the highlight and delight to my meal. There was indeed a bit of disappointment that I couldn't do it again for a video. But, the meat portion was generous, tender, and flavorful. For $20 you are definitely getting your money's worth just from the broth and meat alone. I added a bit of chili oil to mine for a slight kick. Now, the real reason I am giving 5 starts is service. For a crew of 7 people who were dining, its always a problem when we pay. I don't mind using payment services to get it done, but our hosts were able to split the bill and allowed us to pay separately. which to some of us, was a life saver. Overall, not a bad place to keep in your back pocket if you want some pho. As I am not regularly in the area, I would visit again if someone mentioned it! read more

Love love love Saigon Bros! Service is outstanding! Pork dumpling were a starter. They are perfectly cooked!! The taste is very good, pork well seasoned. We all ordered Pho - shrimp (#6) & filet mignon (#2). The broth was so flavorful, the beef and shrimp were tender and delicious! We also ordered an iced Matcha. It was so good! Not super sweet, and the perfect amount of milk. It's in the Vons shopping center fingers plenty of parking. This is probably the best Pho I've had in a long time! 5 stars! read more

Wanted some comforting food on a rainy Friday and Saigon Brothers did not disappoint! Parking was easy in the free plaza parking lot, in front of the shop. We were seated quickly without wait for an early dinner (5:30 pm) and got a booster seat for the toddler in a booth. Service was excellent for us and food came out very quickly. They had a kids menu too with options for pho or rice dishes. My child loves fat noodles like udon so we got banh canh and she loved it (not on kids menu). Their fruit teas are amazing, I loved my drink! Will definitely come back, great price and service with delicious food. The restaurant was very family friendly as seating and decoration was new and comfortable. Gets packed quickly by 7pm looks to be popular with locals and students! read more
|[ p h o r e a l ]| 4.5 stars rounded up! Pleasantly surprised with the tasty broth that's not too salty and pho portion size here. I can see how the broth can arguably be more flavorful, but it's not bad and above average for the valley imo. The seafood pho was great-- really hit the cravings. Regular size was enough to fill me up but they also offer large sizes (not shown in menu). Shrimp spring rolls and peanut sauce were also pretty good. Most importantly, all the ingredients of our pho as well as spring rolls down to the wrapper were freshly made and so delicious on a cold day. |[ w o w ]| Service was quick, attentive and efficient. Huge dining space, welcoming ambiance. It's like I can get 626/oc pho without traveling as far. Parking lot out front. My new fav pho place, please don't ever lose the quality! |[ e x t r a ]| They have a super pho challenge that cost $45 for a 2lbs bowl and if you can finish in 1 hr you get the bowl free LOL gluck to anyone who tries! read more

I came here for the first time after eating Vietnamese food for 20 years and I was unbelievably impressed with the service the cleanliness the attentiveness and the freshness of the food. The food was so fresh! I live in the valley for 10 years and I can't express you how little I'm impressed with the cuisine but this place stood out so much both of my daughter and I wanted to come back next day because it was so good. And the portions were large and the food was so reasonably priced. read more
Saigon Bros have some solid items and prices are fair. We ordered pick up and everything was neatly packed. The eggrolls are good. I think the eggrolls are a tastier option than the pork or chicken pot stickers. The vermicelli bowl is very filling with a lot of noodles. Their pho also comes with a lot of noodles too. The pho broth has a good amount of flavor. I saw on Their menu the bread for the Banh Mi is made in house and looks super soft in the photos. Would definitely like to try it! They also serve milk tea and have a kid menu if you dine in only. read more

Thank you Saigon Brothers for a delish meal. The pho hit the spot on a cold chilly evening. Nice amount of filet mignon in a flavorful broth. We only wish the large bowl was larger as the noodle portion was lacking in our serving. The egg rolls were yummy! The star of the show was the lobster garlic noodle. I could have eaten 5 more plates of that and now I have a reason to come back. read more

Ok I've wanting to try Saigon brothers ever since it opened and I finally did! The pho was very delicious and I'm a pho lover, so I left satisfied. I like how they have a small size bowl or large, which is only $1.50 more. I do suggest to just get the small size because that will fill you up for sure. Get the large if you want to share. The service was good and very attentive! Nice workers here! I ordered the chicken pho and it is better than most in the Valley. They also have some hot and spicy Vietnamese hot sauce that is on point! The ambiance is good !!! You can watch tv inside too! And it's clean inside and super spacious! I will definitely be back here! -Marshay D. read more
