    This is a long time favorite place for my parents as it serves authentic Vietnamese food. It never disappoints choosing to go here when you are craving Vietnamese food. The servers are kind and prompt, the only concern for places like this would be language barriers but they have it pretty well managed that it doesn't cause a problem. The place is small and a tad dark, but is clean.

    Today was my first time trying Saigon Restaurant. It was delicious! I had seen some mixed reviews but I found everything to very good! I ordered the Fermented fish soup. It was so flavorful and delicious! It came in a huge bowl so I will definitely have leftovers. Definitely recommend Saigon Restaurant!

    Absolutely blown away. The pho is great, bun bo hue is fantastic. I got the clay pot dish as well. Great flavors all around. This is a smaller establishment, darker, cozy ambiance. Service was great. We were seated in the corner away from the main hubbub but we were taken care of. Prices very reasonable. Will come again!

    AMAZING pho! Stopped here with a couple of friends and we all really enjoyed our food. The wait time for the food was so quick. The pricing is fair and great compared to all the food you get. Definitely my new favorite restaurant for pho.

    I got the tofu curry and it was so good. It just needed some spice. The waitress brought us some chilli oil. Our waitress did have a lot of tables but service was pretty good. I was hoping to see a bar but I didn't see one on the side that I sat on. Perfect for dinner. Prices were all fair.

    I got the roasted quail as the appetizer and let me just say, YOU DEFINITELY MUST TRY IT. DELICIOUS ...and I had the beef soup which was also delicious. The waitress was quick and polite. They provided good service considering I was only there for a lunch break.

    It has been many years since my last visit but it won't be long for my next one. I believe their fresh spring rolls are the best in Greensboro. The food is excellent and the staff is helpful. I find the restaurant to be a bit dirty and simply worn feeling which is the reason for the 3 stars. In addition to the spring rolls their vermicelli dishes are always good, and there is a wide variety available.

    I've tried so many different things here that you can't really go wrong. This is the bun Bo hue which was very flavorful. The grilled chicken skewers were amazing with the fish sauce. Everyone is always nice here and the service is also fast. The restaurant has many seating options including the bar which is nice.

    My favorite Vietnamese spot in Greensboro. I have been coming here for a very long time and it's always been good everytime. Food- you can never go wrong with what to order from here. There's plenty of options to choose from. Ambiance- very busy on Sunday afternoon because you get the church crowd. A good amount of seating and usually never have to wait that long. Service- not the greatest. They only like their regulars. Food comes out pretty quick. I feel like portion maybe a little small for the price. They have their own parking but it can be hard to find one during busy times. The only reason I didn't give it a five start is because of the service but other than that, I would highly recommend. I don't like other places because I feel like other places have become so Americanized with the taste of their food. But this place is clean and tends to keep the culture of the food.

    Everything was good until lil buddy from Joe's apartment came by to see what was on our plates. I lost my whole appetite. I asked for my papaya salad to be very spicy, not a single tear ! This was my first time with my lady, and I was disappointed. Yeah I got a little off due to the roach on the wall staring at us. In my culture we look at roaches as a sign of a filthy place. Where there is one there are more, kinda like the police on the highway hiding. Now I know this place has been there for over 20 years, but when do the exterminators visit? Let's just say never, and never ever will I come back thanks Randy the roach! Oh yeah when we reported it, the staff took off and we were disowned. They gave me a full check of 97 bucks tip included! So, I asked to be compensated for the bad experience with my lady and child. 15% off, and I slid them some cash because I'm not a jerk!

    The sign is the same, but that's about it!

    I wondered when this would happen? I wondered when I would walk into a restaurant as a Yelp reviewer and have to say the dreaded words, "This place has really gone downhill!" Well my friends, it happened last week when I took my friend Michael who was visiting me from California to what I thought was one of the finest Asian restaurants in Greensboro.... Saigon Here's what I remember pre-covid. A bustling restaurant especially during lunch time. Quite often I would have to wait in the parking lot for a spot to open up. And then you walked inside and ran into everybody you knew in Greensboro all there for that same delicious meal. Their hot soups and all their dishes were just out of this world. Even as you walked inside the restaurant you were blown away by all the delicious and enticing smells. The only reason I did not go there more often was because it was always so crowded that it was difficult to find a spot and difficult to get a table Well, let's jump ahead to last week in November 2021. We pulled up to the restaurant around 12:30 and I was surprised how empty the parking lot was. The outside looked real run down and dirty, almost seedy. When we walked inside, the place looked really dingy and barren. Not many people at tables and nobody seemed particularly thrilled to greet us or show us to our seats. We were shuffled around between a few waiters and waitresses until finally we landed with this young man who took our order. He rarely checked in with us and he put us in a back room where we were the only ones in the room. The room was adorned with old, nasty, dirty curtains, all closed to block out the sunlight. I felt like I was in a dungeon. Normally I would have loved the privacy but it all seem kind of weird especially in retrospect to what it used to be. We both had some basic lunch dish with chicken and rice and vegetables. Not bad, not good just mediocre like the rest of the place. I had bragged to Michael how special this place was, and it was so disappointing to see how it had changed. I don't know if it's because of new owners or a new chef or just one of the casualties of covid, but I will not be back!!! It breaks my heart to see this happen to a restaurant that was so successful and one of the pioneers of popular Asian restaurants in Greensboro other than Chinese food. Whoever owns the restaurant now needs to make a big decision if they are going to put some money into sprucing that place up , hiring a new chef and bringing it back to life. If not, I think it's time to shut the doors and leave while we all still remember that incredible restaurant years ago on High Point Road called Saigon that was a absolutely go to if you wanted an exceptional Asian food experience! So sad...

    If there were more than 5 stars I would give it! Service is down right kind and efficient. The building they have is old but still very clean and quite. The food! Oh my!. I was in town for basketball and took my friend to eat there when she arrived. So I ate there twice in 3 days. I had the summer seafood the 1st day and the shrimp hot pot the 2nd time. The vegetables are outstanding. Prices are reasonable. It you get a chance, go. Oh, even the background music was nice.

    Very bad customer service. Food was ok. Likely a culture-focused restaurant, not for outsiders. Spend your money elsewhere.

It's a small, family-owned spot, friendly, and they handled our large table without any trouble. Nice bright space. The lemongrass chicken and the basil chicken were both very good -- good flavor, and the chicken was tender in a natural way, not the thick, velveted texture you often get elsewhere. The kids got the pho: the bowls are huge, and they ate a lot of them, meat included -- which from our kids is a real endorsement. The papaya salad and the chicken banh mi were also good. We were just passing through Greensboro, but if we're back in the area, we'd happily return.

    So PHOing good! (Not sure if that breaks Yelp's terms of service but I'm living on the edge today.)…read more This local family run spot has it down. An unassuming place from the outside, but a great interior space that is clean and inviting. Couldn't believe how fast service was, and how fast the amazing food came out. It was a weekday lunch, but it filled up quickly, and the well oiled machine was running smoothly in here. The food is top notch. Started with a fresh spring roll that was full of flavor. It was huge, no skimping here. And for $2.50 it's a steal. Went with the lunch shrimp pho for $11.50. Everything for lunch is $9.50-$11.50, and the rest of the menu is also well priced. I couldn't believe the size of this lunch portion. Whoever said size doesn't matter in regard to food is kidding themselves. And the size wasn't the biggest surprise...this was one of the best pho dishes I've ever had! The separate plated bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeños, and lime were unbelievably fresh. The beef broth was full of flavor (choice of chicken broth as well), shrimp perfectly cooked, and noodles delicious. I can't say enough about the extra chili crisp sauce on the side. This is gold. Took the flavor to a whole other level. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. This spot is top notch, and the prices are very affordable, especially given the portion size and top quality food. Go...you won't be disappointed.

Don't leave without checking out their fantastic selection of grab and go treats, perfect for fueling the rest of your trip for the freshly prepared, travel friendly spring rolls, refreshing layered jellos and traditional Vietnamese desserts, and the creamy, house made fresh soy milk.

You are able to still walk up and order at the register as well. There are still tables available for dining in. Most customers appeared to be picking up orders, while a few others did dine-in. Ordered the bbq beef sandwich and an order of spring rolls with their peanut sauce. In addition to the fresh ingredients, the bread is still quite tasty. I do enjoy the bbq flavor of the beef, just enough jalapeño slices to give a bit of spice. The veggies are a good balance of crunch with the bite. You can always order the bread to take home if you're a fan as I am. I decided to grab the Thai tea as well. Overall a nice lunch, and happy the service is as I recall.

I simply got bao buns -- seemed appropriate, plus what is better than a good pork bao bun? And these were excellent. Some of the best in-a-restaurant pork bao buns I've encountered. Interior seating and atmosphere is somewhat less than bare bones -- a few communal tables, and a few little metal high tops; it fits the small bao shop aesthetic, though it's always a little dispiriting to sit at a table that's still dirty from multiple previous meals. But, the bao buns were great -- very flavorful char siu style pork, and a very evenly distributed amount of little extras to keep the pork company. And the buns themselves were perfect.

Takeout seems very common here as well. 2 additional tables outside if the weather is nice. Went with a pork banh mi sandwich and fresh shrimp rolls. Everything was made to order and came out quickly. Rolls were huge! Fresh and tasty all around. Pork was tender and full of flavor, bread itself was also super fresh with a great crunch. The food alone is 5 stars, but the prices would raise the bar to 5+ stars if possible. The value you get for what you pay is amazing. Almost everything on the extensive menu is $11 or less, and many in the range of $6-$7 including my sandwich and spring rolls. When you're paying $15-$20 at many other places for the same thing, you can see the value here. Compare this to the rising costs in the fast food industry for significantly less quality food, and you can consider this a steal. Great spot for a quick lunch, takeout, or dinner with a few friends and family at a place that doesn't break the bank.
