If you blink, it may be easy to pass this small Vietnamese, Thai and Korean restaurant located on busy U.S. Highway 19, across from Home Depot, in Clearwater. This is especially true because continuous highway construction and barricades make it difficult to navigate between businesses in the area. The restaurant is not formal, but clean and well organized. One entire wall has a wonderful mural depicting daily life in Vietnam. In the background, country music plays softly on the flat screen monitor. Tony, the host, is very pleasant and will make recommendations for dishes and accompanying sauces. Enjoy complimentary cold, fresh-brewed Jasmine Tea, sans sugar, with your meal. This tea is made using the finest tea leaves, brewed in a French press. The menu offers a variety of dishes that cater to most palates accustomed to well-made Asian cuisine. For Bánh Mì sandwiches, light and airy Vietnamese baguettes are baked fresh on the premises each day. Some proteins are marinated for a few hours for optimum flavor. read more

Pleasantly surprised with Saigon Cafe in Clearwater. My wife and I were doing a little shopping and got hungry. We drove along Route 19 north to see if anything would drive our curiosity. Saigon Cafe did that for us, with its signage and location. Some may describe it as a hole in the wall type of place and I would not disagree. It's located in a nondescript strip mall, where road construction is all over the place. We took the chance and stopped in to check it out. The restaurant is clean and organized. The waiter and cook greeted us warmly. We were given menus and proceeded to review their offerings. Not much except basic Vietnamese and Korean fare. We decided on a tuna bahn mi sandwich and pho with brisket along with a shrimp and pork wrapped vegetable roll. Our expectations were minimal as we did not know what to expect. Surprise! The portions were large and the flavors were solid, not overwhelming. We were very happy. The service was attentive, polite and thorough. We had some nice conversations with our waiter and came away from the overall experience very satisfied. We will be back! read more

Dropped in Saturday for lunch at this family-run Vietnamese-Korean spot and left very happy. Warm welcome, super clean and a good size menu blending the best of both cuisines (even a few Thai options!). I asked the nice guy taking our order to pick between two dishes - he instantly said "Beef bibimbap!" and it was delicious: sizzling stone bowl, rice, tender bulgogi, colorful veggies, and that gooey egg. My husband got the loaded "Everything" banh mi on a crusty-yet-airy baguette, He also ordered the pork & shrimp summer rolls because he couldn't resist. Great decision - fresh, perfectly balanced rolls with generous homemade peanut sauce (actually enough of it!) and crushed peanuts on top. We're already planning our next visit. read more

Glad to see Saigon Cafe finally opened. I stopped in to check it out and the store front interior was fresh and inviting. I was initially going to stop in for a bahn mi sandwich but I wasn't too hungry so I decided to have an order of Vietnamese egg rolls and a Vietnamese iced coffee. Both items were reasonably priced and the egg rolls came three to an order. They were crispy and tasty and the coffee was bold and refreshing. Service was attentive. I will definitely return to try a bahn mi when I have an appetite. read more

I was excited that there was a new option for Vietnamese food, particularly Bahn Mi sandwiches. Although the ingredients were fresh and tasted fine, my grilled pork Bahn Mi was lame. It should have been named "pork flavored" Bahn Mi. I thought $7 for a Bahn Mi was very reasonable (if it was good), I'd rather go to Ha Long Bay in Dunedin for $8.49 and get one with waaay more meat. I only had the Bahn Mi, so I can't say what the other menu items were like, but I'll take a pass on the Bahn Mi. read more

Saigon Cafe - Ordered oxtail pho. Two pieces of oxtail smaller than a mandarin orange. $17 for this bowl delivered. Are you kidding me? - Cafes Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Ordered the sandwich which was great quality, homemade bread but severely lacking all ingredients especially meat! Very Disappointing. I should have read all the reviews before as I see others stated the same. Hope they fix this as it could be a great sandwich. read more

Holy moly! Can you say delicious?! Combo spring rolls, ribeye pho, beef bulgogi?! Yes please!! My only mistake was not asking for double beef in the pho. Flavor sensation!!! People, please post pictures so others can see how amazing their food is!! read more

Clean, polite and great food! Also great pricing. I will certainly be back. I did the shrimp spring roll (came with 3) and the grilled pork banh mi. read more

We got both a pho with ribeye and a Korean soup. Both were delicious. The service was incredible. Our waiter was so attentive and polite. Gave great explanations and recommendations. If you like Vietnamese food, you'll love Saigon Cafe. And if you don't like Vietnamese food, it's probably because you haven't eaten here. We're going back asap for ban mi. read more

We were happy to see a new place for Bahn mi near us so we tried it out. We're ordered one special and one grilled pork. When we got home we found we have 2 grilled pork. As I only get the special I can't say if this is better than my favorite or not. But based on the grilled pork I would not go back for sandwiches . I will try the Pho next time and hopefully that will be a better experience. The place is nice and the staff if friendly. read more

We very much enjoyed the bahn mi sandwich and the beef bibinbop. The bibinbop was served in a piping hot clay pot. Delish

I was in the area and Yelped some food options and this place came up. Very friendly staff and they were prompt and accommodating. I ordered a simple Pho bowl and it was tasty. The establishment was clean and looked like the pics on Yelp. I'd visit them again in the future. read more
