    52A. Vietnamese style Pad Thai
    Greg H.

    An Asian guy recommended this place to me so I knew it would be awesome and he was right . This is the best Vietnamese restaurant I've tried in Southern California by far. The pho soup is rich and flavorful, perfectly balanced with high quality sliced filet mignon. Their Vietnamese style pad Thai was also amazing and a standout, not dry like Thai restaurants serve. The oil that they add to it makes all the difference! You know a restaurant is doing something right when you have to sign into an iPad to get on the waiting list by the front door. 5 stars all the way!

    A great local spot to satisfy your Vietnamese cravings! We stopped by for an early Friday dinner and found the place already busy, but luckily a table opened up for us. I like to switch things up between pho and bun rieu, and that night I went with the tomato-based noodle soup. It was a bit mild at first, but adding extra shrimp paste made it just right. I also appreciated that the staff had no problem blanching the bean sprouts upon request just the way I like them. My husband ordered the grilled pork chop with rice, and they were happy to swap out the shredded pork for a fried egg. We also shared an order of shrimp cakes to start. The food came out quickly, service was prompt, and overall it was a great experience. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes on the menu.

    The food was good excellent, the service was friendly, the prices were fine, and the wait wasn't too long for lunch on a Saturday even though the place was packed! I will definitely come back here. You can save 5% if you pay cash.

    I have been searching high and low for a Bo Kho with a thicker roux like broth, it's how I was introduced to Vietnamese beef stew in Virginia. Saigon Dish is the first restaurant I've found near LA that prepares Bo Kho that way. My dramatic self stopped the employee to tell him how long it's been since I've had a Bo Kho that reminded me of home. Although it was sweeter than what I'm used to, it was still delicious. I was lucky enough to come in on a Saturday when the Banh Xeo was available. The crepe was light and crispy (now this dish I'm actually used to being a bit sweeter) but the nuoc mam really balanced everything out. I contemplated taking a container of the fish sauce home but I know what happens if that spills in your car. Anyways, this is one of those restaurants where you want to come hungry so you can eat 3 meals.

    Decent place for pho! You can tell it's a local spot -- a lot of the people working here know their regulars who come here so that was nice to see! Eggrolls: sad that they didn't come out freshly fried (but that meant that they came out very quickly) but flavor of the fillings was great! My preference for the fish sauce is a bit more funk with chilies but honestly no complaints other than the fact that it didn't come out piping hot. Pho filet mignon: got the regular size which came with a decent amount of beef and a GENEROUS amount of rice noodles. Broth was nice, clean, hot, and light but lacked in the flavor of spices but pretty good and if I was in the area I'd come back to have pho here.

    So good! I love the food and vibe here. The owner is hands on and the service is quick. The eggroll with wraps and mints are great appetizers and a must.

    The Baseline: For a Vietnamese cafe the Pho must be quality, the accompaniment add-in ingredients must be fresh, the meats must be well prepared, and menu must have authentic Vietnamese flavors. Food: I had the 11 tonight which was Pho with lean beef and brisket. This compares great against the most popular #13a. Great meal tonight and the spring rolls were awesome. Service: Great service from the wait staff this evening. Ambiance: The restaurant is clean and busy on this visit. There was a line waiting out the door.

    Came for lunch on a Thursday and it was packed! Didn't have to wait too long though and they also have a yelp waitlist. Ordered the bun rieu which was delicious. Broth was savory and they're very generous with the portions - gave a lot of meat and noodles in a large bowl. Also got the spring rolls which were good - meat a little dry in spring rolls.

    We ordered the Special Combination Pho and the Special Combo Rice Platter. The pho had a clear light broth that was tasty. Rice noodles cooked well. I did think the meat portion was quite skimpy despite ordering a large size pho. The combo rice platter was a nice way to try a bit of everything. The short ribs were tender. Came with a hearty broth as well. Food came out super fast and the servers were nice. Good place for takeout as well. Giving it 4 stars since you can get more meat for your buck elsewhere! Would be open to coming back if I'm in the area.

    Saigon dish is my fav Viet spot hands down. Everything is delicious and John, the owner, is just a really cool human. I've been coming here for like maybe 15 years and he always remembers me (which shocked me because I've gone years between seeing him with different hair blue,shaved head, blonde, brown lol). Sucks I don't live close by anymore or I'd frequent this place. Their egg rolls, spring rolls, pho and bun are all good. I like their high school special if I'm craving a rice dish and soup.

    11/10 experience! Bestie and I grabbed dinner here after work on a Thursday and it was on and poppin! Busy place, busy staff but the food arrived to our table quick! and they gave us plenty of time to yap I had a veggie pho (my typical go-to) and bestie had a filet mignon pho. Both were super tasty! We also shared the pork and shrimp spring rolls (3 pc). They were a good size and the pho bowls were also huge! Great place and totally worth the wait. When we checked out, couldn't help but notice all the Christmas Cards that families have sent it. This place is definitely a family- oriented spot and a new fave!

    Food 5/10 Not really anything to write home about. Food was editable but no where near the type of food/quality you can get at true Vietnamese communities like in Westminster, CA. Combo fried rice was HORRIBLE. Would not recommend ordering it. Pork and shrimp crispy wontons were okay, but I've definitely had better elsewhere. Crispy Vietnamese noodles was also okay. The sauce tasted lighter than usual and the toppings were meh (only had one shrimp, chewy meat, bad quality for squid, no mushrooms, no imitation crab meat like how it's usually supposed to have). Their saving grace though was the Banh Xeo, which is unfortunately only served Fridays and Saturdays. I kind of suspect this is because whoever knows how to truly cook Vietnamese food is only in restaurant those days. Service 1/10 Seat 'em, get their order, and forget 'em is the kind of mentally here. So if you're expecting for them to be checking up on you, you'll be disappointed. Ambiance 1/10 Typical low budget Vietnamese restaurant type of feel. Bare bones, not much decoration. Would I come here again? Probably not. I can get better quality/quantity with a quick drive down to Westminster. This spot only works if you're super lazy and don't want to drive down to Westminster or if you live in the area and you're super hungry, this will work in a pinch.

    Do you guys offer party tray options (ie can I order 40 egg rolls ahead of time)?

    Yes absolutely. Just give me a couple hours advance notice. We’re currently closed and will reopen Monday Aug. 5

    Do they take apple pay?

    We accept most majot types of payment including Apple Pay. We also offer 5% discount for CASH payments. The only thing we don’t take is EBT

    What is the "low carb option", what do they give you, I cannot find any description. Do they just not give you rice or is there veg or salad instead?

    When following a specific diet, individuals are typically aware of what they can and cannot consume. In the case of a 'low carb' diet, there might not be specific descriptions since it can be customized based on personal preferences. I would suggest… Read more

    As of April 5, 2021 does saigon dish have outdoor dining? do they take reservations?

    Yes both outdoor and indoor dining areas are available. You can make reservations if you want to but you don't have to.

    What type of fish do they use?

    It's Catfish.

    Do they have heat lamps outside?

    I was there last week and they did not have heat lamps. The pho warmed me up!

    Does Pho here have MSG?

    MSG syndrome is a debunked racist anti-Asian myth used against Asian restaurants. Sadly, racist marketing was so effective it's still around even if there's no scientific support.

    What items do not have nuts?

    Most items do no have nuts since I have a peanut allergy myself. Peanuts are usually added as a topping at the end of food preparation so you can always tell the server to leave it out. Just stay away from the peanut dipping sauce for the spring… Read more

    Is their pho gluten free?

    Our pho is 100% gluten free but just don't add the hoisin( dark bottle) sauce

    Will Saigon Dish do separate checks?

    Yes, just tell them at the counter what your part was. They ring you up by table number.

    Is there anything vegan?

    As Paulina and Art have said, there's a vegetarian section on the menu and #49 (vegetables with pho in vegetable broth) appears to be vegan.

With that disclaimer out of the way, here's my humble opinion of the ramen at Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen. It's okay. When I came here yesterday afternoon, I ordered the Hakata Ramen which is basically a tonkotsu style ramen. Every aspect of it is customizable including the broth, noodles, and toppings. I just went with the default options, which i believe they recommend for first timers. On the side, I got a flavored egg, and pork belly. The broth was solid. It was flavorful, and fatty. The noodles were the right firmness as well. However, the chashu pork and pork belly were pretty mediocre. I know this sounds harsh but hear me out. Even after bathing them in the broth, they were dry and not tender. I didn't enjoy the flavored egg either. It was overly boiled and barely marinated. Despite the shortcomings noted above, I'm still giving this place four stars because the service is fantastic. The staff is very nice and provide incredibly fast service. My drink came out in like one minute. The refill came out even faster. They also offer free refills of the noodles.
