    viet coffee w egg foam
    David H.

    prob one of the best viet coffees i've had in san diego!! is super strong, but after you mix it becomes very creamy and has a nice sweetness. they have diff foams, but i like egg because it has a nice sweetness that complements the coffee was around $7, so average for one here but was very authentic yummy rating: 9/10

    We were doing a Vietnamese theme YELP foodie adventure and this one was second on our list to try. The authenticity of the reviews attracted me to this place. Some of the comments on Yelp said the dishes tasted like VIETNAM... BUN RIEU: 8/10 I really enjoyed the fried tofu and the meatballs. The salad that came with it was fresh but, I couldn't handle the acquired taste of the sauce. The dish was good but, I feel like it could have had more flavor... GARLIC NOODLES WITH FILET MIGNON CUBES: 8/10 I really liked how the filet cubes were cooked medium rare. The meat meet was the highlight of the dish in my opinion... SERVICE: A+ EXCELLENT service. They were very friendly and welcoming. We paid at the counter and asked for Togo boxes... AMBIANCE: 8/10 It really is located at the corner of the super market. There's a nice patio area. I would not recommend coming in a HOT DAY because they have NO AIR CONDITIONING!!! IF you're planning to have HOT SOUP on a HOT DAY then you better be ready for it! SWEAT CITY!!! PARKING: Lots of parking spaces located near the corner of the supermarket... OVERALL: Worth a try! KEEP IT UP SAIGON CORNER!!!!

    First time here ordering bún mắm, always my favorite food. So authentic

    First time I order Bun mam, it is delicious, so authentic, and I love how they have fish and barbecue pork.

    Tried the garlic noodles with filet mignon cubes at Saigon Corner. Definitely has potential. The broth and flavors were great, and I loved the condiments!!! Especially the garlic, spices, and jalapeños that added a nice kick. The noodles were a bit too soft for my preference, but still tasty overall!!!! Very authentic food, attentive service, and it feels like a nice family-owned spot. Music was a little loud and the space could use some refreshing, but I'd come back!!!!

    Tried the Special Rice plate. It has the shredded pork and egg cake that I always like for Vietnamese rice plate. It's good to have this in SD. Will definitely come back again next time.

    Mì gõ khô! Yummy

    Saigon Corner- mì gõ khô Yummy food!! Authentic Vietnamese food with amazing flavor and fresh ingredients. Everything tasted homemade and well-seasoned. Highly recommend!

    Tried Saigon Corner and ordered the dry seafood & pork and pho. Both were flavorful, especially the dry dish with great texture. Pho was good as well. First time trying the cheese coffee, not bad but prob will try another drink next time. Good spot in a convenient location.

    Fried fish with roe
    Mj A.

    Went to check this place out because my wife and I wanted soup. She ordered the bun Bo hue and I ordered beef rib soup. Service was great but I think the servers didn't speak much English which was fine because we pointed at the items we wanted on the menu. The food came out and it was a good portion. Both our soups were pretty tasty especially when you add the condiments they had. Wish they offered lime to add like all the other Vietnamese restaurants but the food tasted fine without it. I finished my bowl and my son finished his kids meal. The fried fish with the roe inside was soooooo good! Reminded me of China max back then because they were the only one that had that. There's alot to try on the menu so we shall be back. Inside the restaurant was ok. They had fans inside running because of the heat. Nice little mom and pop shop feeling.

    The foods are super good here. Especially the bun mam and bun rieu. The staffs are friendly. The atmospheres are nice and chill to hang out.

    Minus one star primarily bc everything took so long, but really all the food was really good! It reminded me of an eatery in OC that I love to go to. They have a ton of different food options which is probably why their service is so slow. The sea snails were amazing, their squid?mango salad was so good, their clams, the rice roll! Seriously everything we had was so good for San Diego standards (not sure if it's good as the food in OC or back in the homeland of VN) Would def come back, but hoping they get their timing and service together. This is attached to a supermarket, so it's really a no frills restaurants. Very casual with a lot of open tables.

    Periwinkle snails in curry
    Myphuong L.

    The menu keeps changing as they are still figuring out what works and what doesn't work. We came at peak lunch time on a Saturday and our food came out quick. We ordered: -Chicken wing garlic fish sauce: This was crispy and seasoning was right on. We liked how it was fried and wanted to try other flavors but got too full. -Broken rice grilled pork: Loved that they offer legit broken rice, the bbq pork was nicely char and moist. The egg loaf was a bit dry. -Bánh canh tôm cua: least favorite out of all. The broth has a thick consistency similar to egg drop soup with starchy tapioca noodles. Broth wasn't as flavorful as other places and lacking more shrimp flavors. -Crispy fried egg noodle w beef: Can't go wrong with this dish. Crispy noodles with veggies on top. -Periwinkle snails in coconut milk: wow, the portion was generous. I prefer the curry broth to be more curry-like, it was more of a watered down coconut curry. -mussels with green onion sauce: This was prepared nicely. You must dip in their sauce to get the whole experience. For drinks, I got the coconut coffee I tasted the coffee and coconut flavors, wasn't too sweet. My friend got the coconut kumquat. She likes that it was refreshing and they used whole kumquats with the skin. She also tasted a bit of lemon and preferred it to be more sour and not so sweet. Overall, this place gives you a glimpse of Vietnamese street food. I like the seafood items. Reminds me of night market. If we come back, I'll get the escargot just because those are bigger than the snails and less effort to eat. You can enter from the parking lot or through the supermarket.

It's located in a shared complex, but I've never had any issues finding parking, even after coming here multiple times. I always end up ordering their chicken wings or one of their Vietnamese dishes. This time, I got the bánh xèo, which is a savory Vietnamese pancake filled with shrimp, pork, and bean sprouts. It was super delicious. My mom and I also shared the bún riêu, a flavorful tomato-based noodle soup with meat, and that was really good too. My dad and brother got noodles with pork and egg rolls, which were also super yummy. I also ordered a bạc xỉu, which is a Vietnamese three-layer coffee drink, and it was so good. This is one of my favorite places to go in Kearny Mesa because I really love the vibe of the restaurant itself. I definitely want to try their phở sometime, but their other dishes are always such a craving for me that I keep ordering them instead. The service was also great overall. We were seated pretty quickly, the food came out fast, and the restaurant was clean with a really nice atmosphere. I would definitely come back again.

So, I'll leave a legitimate review along with pictures. Initially, we were ambivalent about trying this place due to the high prices but they also have an exceptional rating on Google and Yelp. 4.9 on both Google and Yelp, that's rare. We bit the bullet and headed there. Parking can be tough but luckily we found parking in front of the restaurant. It was free after 8 pm on a Tuesday. If you go earlier or on the weekends, I would read the parking sign more carefully. There might be free street parking on the left side behind the restaurant. Don't quote me on that. Like I said, parking is not as easy as other places in SD. There are quite a bit of tables to sit in. It wasn't busy when we went. Yes, they do have a very large menu with like 1,000 items. We are not vegetarian or vegan but we have tried vegan places in Denver, CO. We ordered eel Helen pho roll, crispy beef chestnut and pineapple banh mi, and duck wonton noodle soup. The owner also gave us complimentary desserts, vegan corn pudding and vegan creme. She also gave us cookies and two cups of that delicious special water to go. That special water is hands down one of the best drinks I've ever had. Prices range $22-30. -eel Helen pho roll 5 - not real eel but this was very tasty. I like that the rolls don't fall apart easily. -crispy beef chestnut and pineapple banh mi 5 - the bread has a crispy exterior and the inside is moist. The chestnuts and pineapple really pair well together. I devoured this fast. -duck wonton noodle soup 5 - I really like the broth and the noodles. -vegan corn pudding 5 - this has corn with some coconut. It's a light dessert. -vegan creme 5 - this tastes like the real thing. I honestly wanted more.

Bluefin crudo 5/5: so fresh and that sauce is so bright and refreshing w avocados and veggies. Egg noodles 4.5/5: they were delicious, unique flavors ive never had before in Vietnamese cuisine but it was so good! Just one note it was a lil on the tangy salty side but i still enjoyed it! Spicy as well. Didnt finish the pork bc it was a bit salty. Dry aged duck 4.5/5: this was also so good! Love all The veggies that come with it and some cooked noodles. The sauces r to die for. There were just some pieces that were harder to chew bc of the medium rare and thick slices and as it cooled down, but there was so much meat and perfectly medium cooked can't really complain!
