One of the earlier spots in the area that helped put this cuisine on the map locally, and it's held its ground over time. Is it the absolute best pho you'll ever have? No. Are there newer spots that might edge it out? Sure. But that's not really the point here. What Saigon Café does well is consistency. The food tastes the same every time, the menu has plenty of options for everyone, and it's reliably quick -- usually 10-15 minutes and you're good to go. That alone makes it an easy go-to for families. Staff has always been friendly, and the place stays busy, which says a lot. You know exactly what you're getting every visit, and sometimes that matters more than chasing the "best." Not trying to be something it's not -- just a solid, dependable spot that delivers time and time again. read more

My brothers and I came across Saigon Cafe and decided to stop in for lunch. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. My two brothers ordered the pho and hu tieu, and they both said the food was really good. I ordered the pineapple fried rice, and it definitely did not disappoint. The food came out really fast, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The customer service was also outstanding. The staff checked on us throughout our meal and even kept our water refilled before we had to ask. We didn't even get a chance to take pictures of the food because everything looked and smelled so good that we just started eating right away! Overall, I had a great experience at Saigon Cafe. The food exceeded my expectations, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back to try some of their other dishes next time! read more

I was really in the mood for some green curry and once it arrived to my table I could smell that wonderful aroma. The first bite of flavors was totally amazing, I just had to let it sit there for a moment as my brain was taking it in. The Jasmine rice was also so delicious. I like to dip a spoonful of rice into my green curry, which for me is an excellent combination of flavors. The service was also excellent, never had a dry cup and a lot of friendly smiles. read more

This fall I have ordered three times from this place, and all three to-go meals were all very enjoyable. I am not good with the Vietnamese or other Asian names, but so far I have tried the pork vermicelli plate, the Tom Kha soup (once with chicken and once with seafood), the shrimp and pork spring rolls (Goi Cuon), and the fried veggie spring rolls (Cha Gio Chay). I have also tried the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. All of the items are consistently prepared well and fresh to order from what I have seen. I really like the variety of items on their menu here. Some other places I have been to that do Asian fusion type menus usually are stronger in one cuisine over the other, but I have not seen that yet here. I am interested to see what some of their curries are like and plan on trying them in the future. The seafood Tom Kha had lots of different seafood in it for the price paid. I have had Vietnamese pork plates from more than one place recently, but I think this is my favorite place in the area so far. It was good with the vermicelli, but I think I enjoyed it best with the jasmine rice that they accidentally gave the first time I ordered from here. All of the food was well portioned and reasonably priced compared to some of the competitors in the area. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was also very good in that it was not overly sweet nor was it bitter. It was strong enough for a pick-me-up, but also creamy as I like it. Try this place if you haven't yet. I'll be back! read more

I can't believe I've never written a review for this place. I've been going here for 8+ years and this place has stayed consistent throughout. They're the only place I get pho from and I know I won't be going anywhere else anytime soon. Service is always on point. I love that you can tell the staff are all close and it feels really homey being there. They don't skimp out on protein portions and food comes out pretty fast. I highly recommend visiting here for your next pho fix!! read more

Food was good but not great. I had their version of Thai Basil Chicken. I asked for an egg on top and it was overcooked for the dish and an extra $3.50. Ingredient quality was ok but they are charging premium prices. The chicken was white meat and not dark and the pieces were more than bite sized. In the bowl I struggled to get an angle on it to cut it. Only had a fork and spoon. Service was fine. No complaints. I ate in the restaurant. They kept my drink full. There is some effort to make the place not feel like a fast food take out but with mixed results. 3.5 stars is what they deserve but I rounded up. read more

I ordered the Bourbon Chicken meal for lunch today, and while I was surprised at how fast it came out, I quickly realized why. The portion was pitiful, barely any chicken tossed on top of a sad pile of wilted lettuce. And to make matters worse, the chicken was clearly old and reheated. This was an incredibly disappointing meal. Don't waste your time or your money here, there are plenty of other places in the area that actually care about quality and portion size. This restaurant is a disgrace to anyone who works hard for their money. Honestly, it deserves to go out of business if this is the kind of "food" they think is acceptable to serve. Garbage quality, terrible value, and an experience I'll never repeat. read more

Great variety of food, flavor was just as I expected, especially the curry. Service is exceptional.

Saigon Cafe is my family's go-to for pho ever since we moved to the Suwanee area. I personally don't think it's the best pho place but it does serve good pho so I don't mind eating here. It's not much different from your typical pho place -- you have your wide selection of Vietnamese cuisine but of course I wanted pho. I usually get pho with eye round steak, fatty brisket and lean brisket. This time, I opted for without the lean brisket. I ordered the small size which was around $11. Warning when they say small, the pho is actually REALLY small. The amount of meat, the amount of noodles and the amount of soup - it truly is small and it's really more of a kid's option. You should definitely get the Large or XLarge for an adult portion. I wasn't that hungry to begin with so I was okay with a Small -- The good thing about pho is that it comes out QUICK. Our food came out within 5-10 minutes of ordering which was nice. Pho broth is on the cleaner side and delivers excellent flavors. Again, because I ordered a small the meat portion was a little sad but it was a perfect light meal! I definitely come here often and I plan on returning again when I'm hungry -- then I'll order a Large :-) read more

best food ever. love the Curry the soups are delicious but what I love even more the staff and cooks. great service every time

Good food and service. Our daughter loves pho so we checked this place out and were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The chicken skewers were especially good - both my daughter and I enjoyed them very much. The broth for the pho was a bit watery & salty for my liking but the noodle & meat portions were excellent. The service was also really good. They checked up on us consistently but not so much where it impeded on my time with my daughter. Will be returning! read more

I really enjoy pho and the sandwiches they have . The service is quick and simple. The ambience is quite as well.

Came here last year when visiting Georgia and when my parents asked what I wanted to eat I definitely chose this place again! The broth of the pho is unrivaled and always delicious. I have noticed the decline in the meat inside the pho but it's not that big of a deal for me since I always have too much chicken, but this time it was just right. Temperature of the food is great and the veggies are fresh. Great service and got served immediately and the check came at the right time. I always recommend this place! read more

The combo pad thai was on point today. Staff was great. Their pho broth was also delicious.

My knights and I were hangry after working an event downtown and wanted something to eat closer to the Castle. It was a cold and rainy day, and one of them mentioned Pho. Perfect! My first and only experience with Pho was last New Years Eve at my buddy's place. His wife made Pho for all of us, and it was amazing! So I was elated to try it again. This place sits in the Publix shopping center off Old Norcross Rd up 85. I've heard of it before and knew it was a popular spot. Walking in, the place was cold as ice. We found out their HVAC was broken, but we all joked it was bc they wanted to make you crave that hot Pho very badly. Nothing fancy about this place at all. In fact, I've seen nicer McDonalds. Not a place to hit for atmosphere. We all ordered 3 large bowls of Pho Tai. It took them no time to bring out, and they were massive! They also bring you a very large side of sprouts, jalapeño slices, cilantro, limes and basil. On the table are plenty of spice options. I made the mistake of making mine very spicy. However, I ate about 75% of the bowl and enjoyed every bit of it. Steaming hot! I plan on coming back here again but certainly opting for a medium size next to around. read more

I know the family of this business, very kind and attentive people. It's family owned, they keep their establishment clean and family friendly. Love their food. I was there last night, had not been in while due to work but they welcomed me like always. read more

Let's start off by saying i love the customer service here. I started coming here after the other Saigon closed on Pleasant Hill. The food here has always been very good. My go to menu items are the Tom Yum soup and the shrimp spring rolls. I've even turned my mom on to this place. And she's very picky about places I choose. Her taste is nothing like mine. GEESSHH!! BORING. The restaurant is always clean. And the staff will always welcome you soon after entering the door. Now! Getting back to my soup "TOM YUM" that soup is so good and always steaming and fresh. My spring roll quaint delis and fresh as well. The few dishes I have tried I haven't had a bad experience yet. I highly recommend this spot and the Tom Yum soup. read more

Food and service here is AMAZING!!! Clean and relaxing environment. They are very accommodating to their guest. I love their shaking beef and pho, so sometimes I'll get both meals to make the visit worth it. read more

highly recommended all my friends, Is best pho in the area . Also the service was so friendly too.

My favorite pho place hands down. I've been going for years and they're still making good stuff all these years later. Saigon is a great spot for the price and quality of food. My usual is a meatball pho with spring rolls for appetizers. It comes out so fast and always tastes spot on. I've been to their Suwanee, Decatur, and Smyrna location and they have the same menus and same great tastes across the board. Definitely recommend and go in and have a quick bite! read more

I went here with my friend one day so we could get a quick bite to eat. She told me she goes here often for their pho so I was excited to try the restaurant. I'm personally more of a ramen person than pho, so I decided to get something different than pho. I'll definitely be visiting here again to try their pho seeing as how it's close to my place of employment. Upon first entering the restaurant, it was a small place with maybe about 4 booths, 4 "picnic" tables, and other tables and chairs closer to the back. We ended up sitting in the first booth and looked at the menu. They had a lot of dishes to choose from and my friend already knew what she wanted so it took me a while to decide. I went back and forth with whether I wanted to try the pho but I settled on the shrimp fried rice because I figured you couldn't go wrong with that. Our food came out rather fast, I would say within about 5 minutes of us ordering. The rice itself was tasty but the texture of the shrimp was weird to me. It was soft instead of having a chewy texture that I'm used to. However they did give us a lot of food and I ended up having to get a to go box. It wasn't a bad experience and I'm definitely looking forward to trying their pho next time. read more

Saigon Cafe - FR1 Saigon Fried Rice w/ Shrimp - Vietnamese Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

This places food has always been good. Great portions for the money. This is our go to spot as well up until last night. We always bring folks to this place to have them try their food since we love it so much but yesterday they decided to charge us a 20% fee since we had 5 people total. That to me is not right so for now on we will be taking that drive to ILuvPho for now on. 2021 took our favorite spot from us. Management you need to learn about how to run a business like the previous owner did. read more

The Tom pho sure does hit the spot on a cold windy day....The broth is rich and the basil is so fresh as are the bean sprouts....The shrimp is perfectly cooked and a medium portion size is HUGE! You must try a Vietnamese iced coffee you won't be sorry because it's DELICIOUS! read more

Coming into Atlanta after a cold damp weekend at Tallulah Falls we were craving a couple of bowls of nice hot Pho. I ordered P1 and my wife had P2. We both ate every bit of it plus a couple of spring rolls. Fortunately, we had medium size bowls because the large must be really really large. Service was excellent, efficient and friendly. I don't get on this side of town often but I'll be back here when I do. read more

I love this place and frequent them regular. Recently I noticed that they add 20% gratuity to the bill without asking. Their service is amazing and definitely warrants a great tip but the fact that they add it with no questions asked, I bumped them from a 5 star to 4. read more

The food made me and my friend sick. We had shrimp spring roll and the steak. I throw up twice in the restaurant and My friend was sick she had to rush home. The service was good but I don't think the food was prepared properly or safely. At least the bathroom was private and clean. I told one of the employe and he was apologetic and he said he will let the manger know. read more

I didn't realize that Saigon Cafe was a chain as I've only been to the Buford location which I like in terms of flavor and food amount. Obviously nothing much in terms of anything outrageously different since they probably use the same ingredients spread over their multiple locations so if you want a complete rundown of what I feel about Saigon Cafe, find my review for the Buford location. But why the 2 stars for this location? Strictly due to the very real, very disappointing lack of meatballs and tendon in the bowl. For an XL size bowl of pho, I literally counted 4. 4 quarter pieces of meatballs. Talk about disappointing... read more

I know this is a growing franchise, I don't really care for the owner of this business (for my own reasons) but this review is about this location and my experience. I came in around noon on Friday, they were pretty busy on and sat me pretty quick... They took my order and I got my food quite shortly after. Service was good! I ordered the Rama Curry chicken. The food has great portions and came with a veggie fried egg roll and rice! All for $7.95 I will return next curry craving. read more
