    Pork vermicelli plate - really tasty pork!
    Gretchen S.

    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!

    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 :-)

    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!

    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!

    This place is always a convenient spot for East Asian cuisine. My BF & I come here frequently. He always orders the rice noodle soup and I order the noodle salad. Always delicious and fresh. Great service as well. We will continue to be loyal customers!

    We came back a couple of times to try out different dishes and enjoyed the rice/noodle dishes. The portion was good and flavor was good! The bun thit nuong is good - it's a great portion for the price, and their bo luc lac is very soft.

    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.

The flavor was good and the onions were nicely sautéed. The only critique i have for this dish is that the pasta was definitely overcooked, and mushy. Ambiance: decent size restaurant, multiple booths and tables. a spot to take family or go on a date; has really good parking. Service: server was nice. keep in mind that they charge 20% for parties over 5!

From the outside it is modest and easy to miss but inside it feels warm casual and full of life. It has that neighborhood energy where you can tell people have been coming for years. The service is quick and straightforward yet still friendly in a genuine way. The pho is the highlight. The broth is rich and deeply flavorful with a clean finish that shows it has been simmered for hours. It is the kind of broth you keep sipping even after everything else is gone. The noodles are cooked just right and the portions are generous. The meat is tender and fresh and pairs perfectly with the herbs lime and sauces on the side. It is not trying to be trendy or upscale and that is exactly why it works. If you want comforting authentic pho that hits every time this place delivers.

The workers are nice and it's a cute little sit-down place, even with takeout containers. Food was great! Pho tasted good, fries were seasoned, and banh mi bread wasn't stale. I don't usually like banh mi but they're making me change my mind a bit. For the price- I mean, it's Downtown. I'm not coming here expecting to save my pennies. It really isn't bad. Go support your local Asian-owned businesses!
