    My family and I have been coming here for years, and it's seriously one of the best Chinese restaurants you'll ever find. I haven't found another place that even comes close! The family that owns it is so sweet and always makes you feel welcome when you dine in. We usually do takeout, and they always package everything really well so it travels safely. The ham fried rice and chicken lo mein are amazing, I could order just those two dishes forever and be perfectly happy.

    Went to Saigon Cafe after wandering the Provo Farmers Market. We were recommended this place by my boyfriend's college professor. We were immediately greeted and seated with great enthusiasm. Our hostess was very prompt and friendly. We all ordered a variety of combo dishes and we left happy and so so so full. The portion sizes were large and the price was great. I loved my Garlic Chicken, it was spicy but not enough to make it overtake the dish. The location was quaint and full of charm. You can know a place is great by their cambro plastic cups.

    I love Saigon. I've been dining here since moving to Utah in 2015. This is your traditional Chinese place. Nothing fancy, just a ton of flavors from some of their dishes. I order two things here every time: spicy Singapore noodles and the sweet and sour special combination. So much food with great pricing! Don't let any negative reviews scare you from trying Saigon.

    Beef Flat Noodle Broccoli with Beef

    It was overall a pretty good experience. We loved the Beef Flat Noodle, as well as the egg rolls. However, we ordered the broccoli beef and it was flat out disgusting. It tasted like old fish which is odd given that it's basically just beef and broccoli. It was bad enough that my wife couldn't eat more than one piece of broccoli. I tried to muscle through it but only ate a couple bites. Felt bad to waste the food but it was frankly horrendous. I would recommend eating here still, but definitely stray away from the broccoli beef.

    "Hole in the Wall" restaurant worth finding!

    Great food for a reasonable price. The General Pso chicken and sesame chicken are both amazing.

    My picky daughter loved her food. Many of us thought it was too salty. That atmosphere and service were great.

    What's the difference between lo mein and chow mein?

    Lo mein are soft noodles and chow mein are crunchy noodles. The more American Chinese places like Panda Express tend to call soft noodles chow mein when lo mein is the more correct wording.

    We wanted hotpot for dinner. Hotpot was in their name. When we looked at the menu, we didn't see…read more"hotpot" on the menu. Since it wasn't on the menu, we decided to do takeout. My wife wanted the pork belly pho, which didn't make sense to me. I wasn't sure what I wanted because I wasn't sure what they specialized in and wanted to hear them speak before ordering. When I heard the hostess/waitress speak to me in Mandarin after entering the restaurant, I immediately knew I would order their beef noodle soup. After waiting a few minutes, I paid and left with my food. The noodles were better than I expected for the Orem area. My wife enjoyed her pork belly pho. It was more of a Chinese pork belly rice noodle than a pho like at a Vietnamese restaurant. My beef noodle soup was a hearty beefy bowl of noodles. Both of the noodle soups were perfect for a cold night. The price was very reasonable, cheaper than anything I can get in California. It was a good meal. Brothers Hotpot...I don't think they have hotpot here. But, they make some pretty good noodles at a reasonable prcie.

    Been to this location before, but was a different management and it was a Chinese and dim sum…read moreplace. Decided to come here again (obviously new management and a different restaurant) and I don't think we will ever come back! The service is one of the worst experiences we've ever had. On a Friday night, we were 1 of 2 tables (who came in after 8pm), and the place was empty (besides a private party in the private dining room). One server for the whole restaurant. When our order was taken, we only ordered 2 items: veg fried rice and salt and pepper prawns . When the salt and pepper prawns came out, it was served with no shell and fully battered(covered). The server did not ask me if I wanted it with or without shell - I assumed it was going to be with shell (as I pointed to the menu where the picture was, displayed with shell on. So we had to wait for another 10-15 minutes to get that order to come out. The shrimp they used was mushy on the inside, a bit gray colored (towards the tail, on the inside), and they used too much cornstarch for the breading - so it wasn't as crispy as expected. Trust me, I've had my share of salt and pepper shrimp (with shell on) and this was probably the worst I've had. I had to get up a few times to ask for: utensils, a Diet Coke, and boxes to go for our food. The only reason is I'm giving this place 2/5 stars (instead of 1) is because the veggie fried rice was decent. But over all, service, with the prices they charge, for MEH Chinese - you can get better quality Chinese at Feast Buffet or King Buffet - and those places do salt and pepper shrimp the right way!

    Me and my crew are just about to head outta Utah, back on the 80 to California, though might have…read moreto stop somewhere along the way. One last meal, and I know my crew and I know I can keep everyone happy at a Chinese buffet. Everyone gets what they want and all you can eat. The even have some American stuff like French fries, pizza and ribs. Price is around $20 per person with tax and a little tip. The service is typical Asian buffet, they fill the drinks if asked and clear the plates, not a lot of conversation going on. Inside the place is decent sized, not a little mom and pop. They have a Mongolian Grill thingy and sushi along with all the usual American Chinese foods. Hot and sour as well as egg flower soup along with noodles and deep fried stuff and yes, the general and his chicken! The place is decently clean, but yeah, there's the usual sloppy foods from sloppy customers at the buffet. Put the tongs back in the same place you took them from , please! We all got our fill and the stay didn't take 2 hours like some fancy sit down and order place. I paid the bill and we can head out now back on the road!

    I came here with a friend late in the evening. The food…read morefrom the buffet tasted off. The stir fry was good, but everything else tasted really old. I had to spit out some of my food because it had clearly gone bad. The next day, my friend and I both had food poisoning symptoms. Horrible. The worst part is, as we were sitting there watching them clean up for the night, we saw them packing up the food to serve it again the next day. That is scary. If you can get beyond the risk of food poisoning, I will say the service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. The prices were also not bad, $18 per person on a Saturday night for buffet. Personally, I would turn back the clock and eat somewhere else, it was not worth the deal.
