    Pork bahn mi
    Jamie M.

    Not sure how I've never reviewed Saigon Deli before! They have the best bahn mi you'll ever have. Their other items are also delicious, but the bahn mi is the real star.

    We came here for bahn mi and display package food. This deli store has most of the Vietnamese street food. You can order different bahn mi. We got the grilled pork, 3 kind of ham and bbq ham, meat ball sandwiches. I like the most is three kind of ham. The grilled pork needs a bit sweeter. We also got some packages food. The range in different price. We got some fresh roll, rice paste roll, sweet desert. We also got some lunch special with two items protein. All food is tasty.

    I been getting banh mi here for years now and it always hits. It's a cute little deli in the little Saigon area and they sell a lot of traditional Vietnamese food and snacks. My family has always loved their pork sausage banh mi and I love their cold cuts as that's my go to type. I also got a new item for me (don't know the name) and it was also really good and I recommend

    Came back to pick up sandwiches again for my trip to BOS. I ordered 3 sandwiches, 2 without cilantro... got 1 made correctly. Ordered a mixed plate with beef stew and curry, received a plate with curry and sweet sour chicken. On the plus side, their spring rolls are delicious, the curry was decent, and sweet sour chicken was good... for something I never wanted. The workers aren't very friendly and the language barrier makes for incorrect orders, or they just don't care. I would suggest checking your order before you leave, this is the second out of two times my order was wrong, or made incorrectly.

    This has been my go-to banh mi spot in Seattle, and I consider it one of the best in the city. There's a decent-sized parking area next to the deli, which is rare to find for CID/Little Saigon. The mornings are supposedly busy, but I usually end up coming during slower hours. Staff tend to be quite friendly with me, and orders come out quick. I always get the banh mi special here, but most of the banh mi's I have tried at Saigon Deli has always been perfect for when I need a quick and affordable lunch. A few days ago I got a sandwich to-go and ate it at Hing hay park, definitely recommend doing that if you're trying to adsorb the environment and culture around you. They also have other packed deli items which I've liked. Valid Vietnamese deli in my books.

    Three Kind of Ham
    Frank L.

    A Little Saigon staple, OG to the max. The traffic that has come through here through the decades has been constant and still is. Place is a tad worn down from all the traffic but still solid. Based on most recent quick bite, the #3 BBQ 3 kinds Ham for $7 is easy 4 Star. Filling, crunchy, tasty, very hard to beat for $7. Not only a survivor, but still a lead runner for value that packs a punch with flavor.

    Pork banh mi
    Louise F.

    This banh mi makes me so happy. Buying it feels so vindicating to me, like something in me just relaxes paying this amount for a very very generously sized sandwich. Very nice classic banh mi, good pork, bread was soft but flaky. Brings me back to like 10 years and makes me feel like things are right in the world. I mean it's like $6 what's not to like. And they have so many other prepared foods too.

    Bahn mi

    Im from NY and the prices here are amazing for the quality of the food. I had 2 bahn mi and both were delicious. Everytime im I Seattle I will make it a point to come here.

    This is one of those places where you get some good food quickly and without any frills. They have an assortment of items to choose from. It's set up as a deli style place that prefers cash. We ordered a traditional banh mi to share while we wait for our lunch spot to be opened. The banh mi was perfectly made and packed full of meat and veggies. It's one of the best banh mi in town.

    Affordable and tasty! Was the perfect lunch after a drive from Portland to Seattle. Only tried their Banh Mi but the next time I'm in town, I'll be sure to try more from their menu.

It's still a solid spot for me even two years after I first tried it. I normally get the regular pho tai with a cup of jasmine tea (which is only $2)! Service is exceptionally fast and was sat immediately - the staff are very kind. I did not take a picture of it but I ordered a vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and shrimp fresh rolls to go after my visit. They were both very flavorful and I recommend anything off their menu - it's delicious and worth the effort to dine in but not the right place if you want to chit chat and dilly dally. There's plenty of parking outside in the strip mall which shares a lot with QFC. Seating is limited and there are often wait times around peak meal hours, recommend going 1-2hrs off those times to have a better chance at getting sat sooner! 10/10 recommend

Each visit left me feeling like I had wasted both my time and money. I've had both the Pho Dac Biet and Pho Saté, and each broth fell short for different reasons. The noodles were oddly overcooked and clumped together in both bowls. While the presentation is appealing, the flavors lack depth and both dishes were noticeably oily. The meat portions were sparse, and the pricing does not justify the quality or quantity of the food. There are simply too many better pho options in the area at this price point.

Easy to eat and flavorful on its own but dipping it with Chinsu added spice and more flavor. Bot Chien had a crisp to it and egg was cooked well. You have to dip it in the fish sauce or else there is no flavor. Just something minor but I wish the pickled veggies were more separated. It had the cut lines but not fully cut so you had to separate it yourself. The com tam was alright. All of the components you would usually get for a broken rice dish. The meatloaf was really good. The pork on the other hand was a bit too salty for my liking. And you only get one thin piece... soup on the side was good and was a good way to cleanse the palette. Overall good modern/fancy spin on Vietnamese food but overpriced. Would probably be nice to go during dinner time for some drinks as the ambience seemed better for night time. Good amount of seating.

I can't say it was anything super special but it was definitely worth a try. Food & drink: (4/5) There are for sure certain items that they excel at and some that need some work. We got the banh uot tower with heo quay, banh khot, banh mi chao, and com tam. I see the appeal of the eye catching banh uot tower, but unfortunately I felt like it was very mediocre. I felt like the portion of veggie and meat wasn't enough for all the rice rolls, plus the actual heo quay was dry with barely any crispy skin. I think they also forgot to give us the heo quay because we had to ask for it much after the banh uot came out. I would skip this next time. I would also skip the banh khot as it was on the softer, chewier side when my personal preference is light and crispy. Those who do like it soft will definitely enjoy it though. As for flavor, it had an extremely prominent coconut taste- it usually isn't so strong in banh khot so I wasn't so fond of this. My family did really enjoy the com tam and banh mi chao. I only had one bite of each, but I would get these items again. Their drinks on the other hand, were delightful. I got the tamarind black tea and my step dad got the lychee green tea. Both were super refreshing and even addicting. I think they tend to do sweet items better, including their rice crispy treats that they sell on the front counter. Service: (4/5) The service here didn't really stand out much but I didn't pay much mind to it. They were very nice but there was a sense of disorganization, mostly due to us not being acknowledged when we first walked in and having some of our food forgotten about.
