Ordered the Shrimp Pho and simply loved it. The order was waiting for me upon arrival and only needed to heat the noodles up when I arrived home. Would surely return for more items that I saw on the menu! read more

Saigon Cafe Millburn - Vietnamese Near Me - Millburn, New Jersey

Good food at reasonable prices, with indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating consists of booths that can fit about 4 people. Be aware that there are mosquitoes in outdoor seating area. Food comes quickly and service is efficient. They also do a brisk takeout business. Street parking or in public lots. read more

The food has been uniformly excellent. We have been there many times for both dine in and take out. The people are friendly, and the dine in area is pleasant. read more

Great food. Pho' is really good! Outdoor terrace is nice during good weather days and indoor seating as well. Friendly service.

Thank you yelpers for helping me find this little gem! My family and I love Vietnamese food and we've gone to plenty mom/pop restaurants in NJ, NYC and PA. When I saw the other raving reviews, I knew I had to dine here. Upon arrival we were greeted by the friendly owner. I noticed the outdoor seating wrap around the porch of the restaurant (that looks like a house). Indoors had a few tables and we were lucky that a table of four were empty because it's 2pm and I guess many folks have had lunch already or had ordered to go. The menus were pretty impressive to such a small place. In many of their noodles and rice dishes, you get to choose your choice of meat or go vegan. I also noticed for all the pho lovers, you get to build your own pho! For starters, we had pork spring rolls and I was shocked that you can order it in different meat or vegan as well. Most other Vietnamese restaurants just have pork and that's it. We also ordered the beef pao (bun) and it's tastes so good. I totally recommend it! For my main course, I decided to order grilled pork banh mi since that's the usual banh mi I always order at a Vietnamese cafe. The sandwich was large enough for two (my daughter and I) to share and it was yummy! My husband had the beef rice dish and our son had the grilled pork with vermicelli bowl and either they were really hungry or they really enjoyed it because both were stuffing their faces. With recommendation from the owner, we had ordered the açaí bowl with fruits and granola and Nutella drizzles and the dessert was large enough for us to share. It was delicious and healthy! The owner was very friendly and even gave us for macaroons on the house. Overall, we enjoy our meals. I read from other yelp reviewers that the dishes and banh mi here is pricier than your ordinary Vietnamese restaurants and takeouts and yes, I agree it is but at least the food and service was good. Parking is metered off street. Per the owner, during summer weather, they open the backyard and they can accommodate more guests. Because of the colder weather, most customers order their food to go because of the limited seatings here. They do not take reservations so make sure either you come off hours of lunch/dinner or place your orders to go. read more

So glad that this place is open for delivery through UberEats! I love their beef pho and it's always my go-to. They package everything so nicely, broth is separate so the noddles aren't soggy, bean sprouts and basil come bagged separately as well. I had their Saigon Tropicana smoothie for the first time and I think it might be my new favorite! read more

This place is the best! All the food is so tender and homemade. The waiters are really nice. And it's well decorated inside

Little Vietnamese cafe tucked away in Millburn. Since finding this place, I've ordered take out three times. It's a great Vietnamese spot and probably the only one around. The Banh Mi is great and so is the grilled pork with rice. If you want a good appetizer, the grilled meat Lao is very good. Perfectly flavored and good portions. Staff are friendly and restaurant is clean and organized. I'm really happy to add this to our restaurant options. read more

Saigon Cafe Millburn - Vietnamese Near Me - Millburn, New Jersey

I'm no expert on Vietnamese food, but I really dig this place. Years ago, to get this food meant a schlep to Long Valley! The pho is terrific, with a great depth of flavor. It's clear they spend a lot of time to build a great stock. The staff is friendly and helpful, it's a nice space, and doesn't break the bank. Usually easy parking too. read more

Totally love this place. The square dinning ware is cute. Service is good and I love the bright and cleanliness of the restaurant. Will recommend the Thai ice tea. read more

I really like this little place! There is not that much authentic Vietnamese food around this part of NJ, at least not that I'm aware. The food here is fresh, yummy and genuine. Excellent summer rolls and pork on vermicelli. It's very small so not much "ambience" but well worth a takeout! read more

My love for Vietnamese food made me bookmark this spot on yelp. We came here on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm just after lunch time. The place is very small for indoor dining. It looks like it can only accommodate about 20-25 people in the main area. In the summer time or when the weather is better they can seat more patrons outside. During the colder weather I hear most people order and take out their order home. The servers here are friendly and even spoke with the owner of this place. We ordered the pork Banh Mi, pork vermicelli noddles, and I had grilled pork rice dish. For the appetizer, we ordered the beef pao (buns) and spring rolls. My wife said the banh mi was very delicious, the rice dish I ordered was also good as well. My son enjoyed the rice vermicelli noodles with grilled pork too. Overall, the food was very good and tasty with no complaints. The owner came and asked us if we wanted dessert, From his recommendation we ordered the Acai bowl which is a smoothie blend with banana, strawberries, granola, blueberries, drizzled with coconut flakes and topped with nutella. Our family shared the bowl and it was delicious as well. Overall, I found cafe food, presentation, and service very good. However, there are few improvements that can be better but not anything on the restaurant side. First, the location has no parking for patrons of the restaurant, you will have to find off street parking to come here. Second, the location seem to be converted from a house to a restaurant so that's why the seating are very limited. Third, I think is the most important one to me, the food pricing. Most items here are priced 2-5 dollars more than the typical Vietnamese restaurant, so it can be expensive. Although the food quality is slightly better, I found other Vietnamese restaurant that has similar quality a little cheaper. I've been to many Vietnamese restaurants so I am comparing to all them. This is a place I wouldn't go here often or buy take out due to the price, but I could understand that Milburn is an expensive town. It seems very pricey for the food comparing to other Vietnamese establishments in the area. read more

This is my new favorite spot for delicious and authentic Vietnamese food! The restaurant isn't exactly new to the neighborhood but it's tucked away in downtown Millburn so it can be easy to miss. I've ordered from here previously and the food was always good but it's so much better if you opt to dine in! Judging from the menu, Saigon Cafe really doesn't look like much. Apart from the standard Vietnamese dishes offered, you can also grab an açaí bowl, bubble tea, flan, and even macarons. The addition of the seemingly random desserts definitely made me raise an eyebrow but I'm not mad about it. You'll notice upon entering the establishment that it's spotless inside. The interior of the restaurant is bright and inviting, just like the waiters that will greet you! We were helped by an older gentlemen, possibly the owner and his wife. Our waiter was so beyond helpful and kind! My glass of water was full throughout my entire meal! I ordered the grilled pork with fine vermicelli noodles. My waiter gave me an extra plate and instructed me to construct my lettuce and noodle wraps on it. It was such a fun way to eat the dish! I loved that he went out of his way to show us how the dishes should be enjoyed. Even if the service here was terrible, which it's far from, I would still return in a heartbeat. The food is AMAZING! It's as authentic as it gets in this part of Jersey and is arguably even better than the Vietnamese restaurant that I frequent in Chinatown Manhattan. Upon returning from my trip to Vietnam this year, I was sad because I knew that I wouldn't be able to enjoy Vietnamese food stateside the way I used to because the food in Hanoi is THAT good but this restaurant will definitely hold me over until my next trip to Vietnam! read more

I ordered delivery and it took two hours to get here. I called and they had no idea I even order. When the food came, i opened it up and flies flew out of the container. Ive never experienced anything like this before. read more

Absolutely love their food it's so clean and healthy. It's made with bone broth. I have had the lemon grass soup with chicken, veggies, and seafood. All has been delicious. Also love their pork PAO the portions are nice I can never finish the whole bowl of soup I always bring it homealso love their mango pudding for dessert. Come here you will not be disappointed. You will find perfect menu items to try. read more

SUPERB food. Amazingly fresh ingredients. Great portions. Pork Bahn Mi and the House Special Beef Pho are phenomenal. The broth is amazing and fragrant. Service is excellent and the owners are kind. Food is ready in a reasonable time. Will return again and again read more

This is a great place to get pho and other typical Viet food. Service is great, very cordial people and the food came in quickly. The food itself was great and was beyond my expectations. The price is fair and it is easy to get there. There is easy parking around. 5 stars for their amazing Vietnamese Coffee! read more

The food here has always been delicious, fresh and well-prepared. It's unusual, exceptional. The people I've introduced to this restaurant have always agreed. Also, for this quality, the prices are very reasonable. I would be disappointed if it went out of business. read more

Good Vietnamese food and very friendly service! Plenty of outdoor seating and a nice place to have dinner during the summer nights. I enjoyed my vermicelli with grilled pork and spring rolls. The pork was flavorful, spring rolls crispy, and the vermicelli had a nice chew to it. The wonton soup base was not like any wonton soup I've had at the chinese restaurants (distinct oniony flavor) - and the wontons were delicious. They seem to have a really busy takeout business - there were just as many employees working as there were patrons, and there were people constantly in and out picking up. A very welcome and unique addition to the area! read more

Placed Two orders of chicken pho and one order of veggie pho on Christmas Eve. Veggie pho sick as a dog on Christmas Day thx Saigon for a shitty Christmas. Yelp makes you add a star in order to post your review there was no choice for zero stars. Never again. read more

Ah I can't believe I hadn't reviewed this yet. I love this restaurant. I thought for being in the middle of Milllburn it wouldn't be that great. We've ordered a few different dishes including the pho, and have not been disappointed. Although my favorite is the grilled pork bun cha. Yummmmm. Takes me back to Vietnam alleyways. It's one of our go to take out places. read more

Have always loved the food and service at Saigon Cafe. I had a party for a group of 25 people and chose to order from Saigon Cafe. They were extremely responsive and worked with my budget and got me an amazing menu. Some of the people had never eaten Vietnamese food and left being fans. Thanks Saigon Cafe for great food which was tasty and so fresh. Love it read more

I absolutely love Saigon Cafe. Walking into the restaurant, you're welcomed with the best aroma. The restaurant is clean and the staff is so friendly. They make delicious the most delicious pho. Their broth is probably one of the best I've had, nowhere else seems to compare to be honest!! My favorite is the Pork Pho! Their summer rolls are also good and comes with a really great peanut sauce. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Decided to do takeout and ordered the veggie pho. The soup was flavorful until I came across a BUG like worm swimming in the soup, was too grossed out to take a pic. This place does not clean their veggies properly. Won't be returning ever again. read more

Landed after a long international flight into Newark and was looking for some good pho! The bone broth was delicious and flavorful. The shrimp was cooked in separate spices which really added to the flavor of the pho. read more

I absolutely love Bahn mi. I realize that not all vietnamese restaurants serve Bahn Mi, but Saigon cafe does!!! The owner is very friendly and makes sure everything is ok with your order. I have been here twice and both times I tried chicken pho and chicken bahn mi. Portions are big so its better to not order both things together. Everything is delicious. I look forward to trying the juice bar and smoothie offerings as well as the acai bowls. I will definitely go here again. read more

Great food and awesome service. We had the chicken Pho. It was so yummy, and everything was very fresh. I would definitely go back

Food was cold, bland, did not receive everything ordered, vegetarian cold rolls (I know them as summer rolls) were torn and only consist of three items within the roll. I don't think this is a real Vietnamese restaurant. I've done better in my own kitchen. read more

Amazing Vietnamese food! I had the chicken bun which had a lot of meat and veggies! (make sure to ask for the sauce though!) Also tried the chicken banh mi which was really good! Bread was toasted deliciously and I really liked the fresh veggies!! read more

First time trying Vietnamese food and loved it! Service is okay- small area, maybe needs more space for how busy it gets. It taste healthy and refreshing & leaves you satisfied. Prices are great too! Would come again read more

Amazing food and sauces! Best Vietnamese food in NJ!! Most kind staffs. Highly recommend to check it out! Very satisfying!!

Came here to get take out for lunch and was very happy that I decided to do that! I ordered a classic banh mi (ham) and got an iced Vietnamese coffee. The banh mi was nice and soft, not too hard which is what I usually hate. They slice it in half for you which is nice Incase if you can't finish the whole sandwich. The Vietnamese coffee is nice and strong! If that's what you like, then you'll love this one. I'd like to also say that the staff here is extremely friendly. Everyone walked by and smiled at me. One big thing I noticed is that they filled my coffee to the top (so happy that they're not cheating me for my money since some places purposely put too much ice or don't fill up the cup). It was overflowing a little bit out of the hole of the lid and the guy went out of his way wipe off the excess so that it doesn't spill everywhere without me even asking. Very considerate and thankful, it's the little things that count too! read more

Fabulous pho!!! Incredibly flavorful and amazing choices. Great apps and entrees. Run by a lovely family as well.

This is truly a hidden gem in a town with MANY restaurants. The portions are large, the prices are reasonable, and the food is excellent. From the summer rolls to the Pho, everything we've had from here has been a home run. The lunch boxes are great, as they come with a small portion of summer rolls, spring rolls, dumplings, and the main meal (I like the vermicelli with pork). Plenty of room inside and out on the porch to eat. Service is prompt and friendly, and it's a pleasure to eat here or take out each and every time! read more

I ordered a number of takeout items from this place today. The first thing that went wrong was I was given chicken dumplings and fried spring rolls when I ordered vegetable. I get home and find that there is no mint in the summer rolls as stated on the menu. I called to ask why and I was hung up on after hearing background chatter and placed on hold. I called back, and the same person answered, I asked why was I hung up on. She said hold on and passed the phone to a women. I asked why did the food not contain the ingredients listed on the menu as expected. She promptly hung up on me as well. That will be my last dining experience there. The food is ok but not what I would call authentic vietnamese food anyway. It was just convenient since moving to the area. Not to mention extremely overpriced. I will travel to the city when I want real authentic vietnamese food and get what I pay for. read more

Excellent!! Best Asian food around the area. Great service, clean and tasty food and great condiments (try the fish sauce with the noodles)! Love it!! read more
