    Needed my matcha fix and this place definitely understood the assignment. I got the Viet coffee with matcha and my friend got the matcha with Hanoi egg foam. Both were dangerously good. The matcha was smooth, the coffee packed the perfect kick, and that egg foam? I was fully prepared to judge it... then I ended up stealing bites--I mean sips. Service was quick, the shop was clean, and now I have another coffee stop to add to my growing "just one more matcha" addiction. 10/10 would happily caffeinate here again.

    Hanoi Egg Coffee

    I happen to be driving past this when I had to pull over and get a coffee! I've seen so many great reviews on Instagram and from friends who come here. I tried the Hanoi Egg Coffee, which was amazing! It can be hard to find an egg coffee, let alone a good one so I was excited for this. The staff were all very friendly and helpful with it being my first time. They also offer pre made bottles for you to take home and pour over ice which is super convenient. There is limited seating inside, but a few tables to sit. I can't wait to come back and try more items!

    Best Vietnamese coffee I've had and this would be a reason why I'd visit SD more. I really enjoyed the hanoi egg coffee because the aftertaste of each sip leaves with you a caramel undertone. Ordered as is and it was the right amount of sweetness. The blended coconut cofffee was delicious and very nice on a hot day. This coffee shop is better than da vien, I hope they are able to open a future spot in OC or LA! As a Vietnamese American, I loved seeing this shop doing so well with a line out the door.

    Cute cafe on a corner in North Park. Open seating area so you can people watch while drinking your coffee. Long lines even at 10am on a weekend but the line moves really fast! Ordered the famous saigon coffee and the pure black with egg foam. The egg foam was a lot more foamy rather than dense that I'm used to from other Viet cafes but I liked that this didn't taste as sweet and was lighter. The saigon coffee was strong and sweet, like Viet coffee should be. Loved this place!

    I love this place. On my visit to SD I went here twice. Wish this spot was available in the Bay Area. I came for the Hanoi Egg Coffee both days. I got a large extra sweet. Both times they were really creamy, sweet and perfectly strong. You really have to spend the time to mix it well to get the full flavor. On the second day the barista messed up and didn't make it extra sweet so he remade it and I got the first one free. 2 for the price of one! Even the non extra sweet was good. If you don't come in the morning early expect to wait in line. Service is friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is rather large with lots of seats and large windows.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Large mural on the wall outside advertising there name.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be back next time in SD

    Amazing coffee with great service! No online and no preorders. The line and service is fast, worth the wait!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute little shop with the absolute SWEETEST workers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's been a few months since I first stopped by and I'm finally writing a review, but I still remember the worker's sweet smile. I overheard her cheerfully explaining the menu to different curious customers who needed a little more help finding what to get. I'm very familiar with the different types of drinks you'll find in a Viet cafe and they have a pretty small menu with all the favorites. I got the Hanoi Egg Coffee! It's sweet, strong, and incredibly creamy. I absolutely love Vietnamese egg coffee and order it pretty often, and this one is just so delicious and well balanced. Saigon Coffee is for sure a stand out for delicious coffee!

    I've been here a million times and usually order the same thing... iced vegan coconut coffee. The coconut condensed milk allows me to enjoy my favorite beverage without the dairy repercussions. I highly recommend it! But today I tried something new, kind of... I ordered my usual iced vegan coconut drink topped with banana foam. Sweet holy heaven! The very strong Vietnamese coffee with the sweet banana flavor is the perfect pairing. I'm pretty sure I'll be coming here more often. Don't let the long lines deter you from stopping by. The line moves quickly while still offering great service!

    First time trying egg foam in my drink and it was a nice surprise! Got the matcha with egg foam and would def be back to try their coffee and other drinks. Just come early as there can be a long line, but it does move pretty quick.

    Strawberry Iced Tea and Hainoi Egg Coffee
    Derah M.

    Line was wrapped around the corner but it went by in about 10 minutes. Ordered 2 drinks and it look less than 5 minutes to get both. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's some seating inside for you wait after you get your order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom was clean and didn't require a code.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Hainoi Egg Coffee was my favorite. It was smooth, slightly sweet and the egg cream top paired perfectly. It gave me a huge energy boost without giving me jitters and a headache. The Strawberry Iced Tea was very lightly sweetened. It kind of tasted floral and had bits of strawberry throughout. It tasted okay but I personally wouldn't get it again.

    Matcha with egg cram and hanoi egg coffee
    Paulina T.

    Heard about this place and since I was close by, decided to take the small walk to this coffee shop. Even from a distance, this place couldn't be missed with the visible line of people waiting to order as well as their name boldly written on the building. Even with the line being long, this place had some of the fastest service I've experienced! As for the drinks, they were so good. I got one of their popular drinks which was the hanoi egg coffee and it was strong but the cream on top made it sweet enough and made it taste like an egg tart to me. My sister got the matcha with the egg cream and this was one of those matcha that the grassy flavor is more prominent but paired with the egg cream balanced it nicely! I will definitely be visiting again!

    Ask the Community - Saigon Coffee

    Is the coffee in the bag ground coffee or whole beans?

    Hi Liz. We have both ground and whole beans. Thank you! Tu.

    What would be the equivalence in number of espresso shots in one regular saigon coffee?

    It would be equivalent to 3 to 4 espresso shots. They are strong. I highly recommend getting their frozen bottled coffee. It lasts 10 days and is good for 3-4 servings. Just serve over ice.

    Do they offer options besides regular milk; oat milk, almond milk?

    They have a vegan coconut made with coconut condensed milk. That's what I get.

    Do they offer a decaf version? I absolutely love Vietnamese style coffee but I can never find a place that serves decaf.

    No, No decaf.

    Do they serve hot coffee or only iced?

    Their menu only shows iced drinks. I went only once (so far) and noticed only iced drinks were being made. But it was delicious!

    How much caffeine is in a 16oz?

    Quite a lot. This coffee is slowly dripped in Phin's. It's a 4 hour brewing process and extracts the maximum rich flavor from the coffee. It also makes is exceptionally strong.

    Where I can find their menu? No info about banh mi sandwiches of their website. Are they vegan friendly? Any tofu/jackfruit sandwiches?

    They only have coffee. No Banh Mi of any kind

    It was the first time my husband and I had eaten there. We had heard wonderful comments about it…read moreand it did not disappoint. The food we experienced was delicious. With the friendly, advice of the waitress at the bar we ordered a good variety of food, without it being too spicy for me. The ambiance was perfect. We plan to go back.

    Phuong Trang has been a San Diego staple for decades. It first started in Linda Vista in 1988,…read moreserving traditional Vietnamese family-style meals before moving to its current home on Convoy in 1992. Today, it's one of the most well-known Vietnamese restaurants in the city, and after this visit, I can definitely see why. One of my favorite things about coming here is the location. Even though it's right in Convoy, parking has never been an issue for me. I usually avoid the area because finding a spot can be a headache, but Phuong Trang has a large parking lot that makes stopping by so much easier. I came in for a quick takeout lunch. One thing to know before you go is they don't accept Apple Pay, so make sure to bring a physical card or cash. The staff was incredibly welcoming. They greeted me when I walked in, gave me plenty of time to look over the menu, and never made me feel rushed. That kind of hospitality really stood out. I ordered the Char-Grilled Beef Vermicelli and the Shrimp, Pork & Jellyfish Salad. The salad comes with shredded green papaya, celery, cucumber, carrots, shrimp, pork, jellyfish strips, fresh mint, crushed peanuts, and shrimp chips.The salad was refreshing with plenty of shrimp and jellyfish throughout. I especially liked the crunch from the green papaya. My only complaint was that the dressing felt a little one dimensional. I wish it had a little more brightness to bring out the fresh herbs and vegetables. It was still enjoyable, though. The Char-Grilled Beef Vermicelli was my favorite of the two. It came with vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, pickled daikon and carrots, crushed peanuts, plus five grilled beef rolls wrapped around scallions. The beef had a delicious smoky flavor from the grill. The only downside was that the inside of the rolls was a little chewy since it didn't get the same char as the outside. Even so, every bite was packed with flavor, so it wasn't enough to take away from the dish. Between the friendly service, quick turnaround for takeout, and solid food, I can see why Phuong Trang has stayed so popular for all these years. I'd happily come back and keep working my way through their menu.

    Kingfisher serves some genuinely delicious food. The scallops were outstanding, the fried rice was…read moreflavorful, and the black cod was also excellent. The kitchen clearly knows how to prepare quality dishes, and the food is the reason I'm giving this restaurant 4 stars instead of less. That said, I deducted one star because of the location and overall environment. I chose Kingfisher because I was looking forward to Vietnamese cuisine, but when I arrived, my first impression was disappointing. Right by the entrance there was a strong urine smell, and because the restaurant has an open-air layout, it affected the dining experience. I also found myself concerned about the surrounding neighborhood and the overall setting. For me, a great restaurant is about more than just the food--it's also about feeling comfortable, relaxed, and enjoying the atmosphere. Even if a restaurant serves amazing food, the experience isn't complete if the location makes guests feel uneasy. I understand that Kingfisher has earned Michelin recognition, and the quality of the food certainly shows why. However, I hope the overall dining environment can improve because the talented kitchen deserves a setting that matches the excellent dishes they serve. I would gladly return if this establishment were located in a cleaner, more welcoming area without the homeless encampments nearby.
