    Saigon pho
    Kayla D.

    Saigon Eatery is what I would call a fast-casual style Vietnamese restaurant! Instead of a large bustling restaurant, there are only maybe about 10 or so tables inside. You order your food at the counter and take your seat, and the server/staff brings it out to you when it is ready. I went here on my lunch break, having a craving for pho and limited time, so I ordered their Saigon Pho, which I believe is their equivalent to a pho dac biet at other restaruants. Within maybe 5-10 minutes, I got my pho, and it was hot and tasty! Their broth is a little less rich than some other places that i have tried, but their pho is definitely cheaper than other socal locations. I think that their meat could be a little bit better, as I didn't like one of the meats that they included in their saigon pho, so next time I would just not order that meat. I devoured all my soup and went on my way back to work.

    Huuuge primp. What they would serve as shrimp cocktail appetizers.

    Usually try their OxTail Pho (which is really good) but wanted to try something different. So tried their shrimp pho with beef broth (better than their chicken. Didn't know what kind size shrimp they would serve or how many. The pho was good but they had EIGHT large sized shrimp. Wasn't sure it was a mistake (not complaining) but five would have been sufficient. Saigon eatery is more like a fast food pho restaurant, so not much of an ambiance. Service and serving was timely.

    Came here with after seeing so many great reviews. This review is based on our first impressions. The restaurant is located in an L-shaped strip shopping center with a common parking lot. We dined for dinner on a Saturday evening. We ordered two varieties of Pho which were brought to our table in large bowls. At first glance it looked like a pretty big meal. But those hopes were dashed when we realized the bowls contained a whole lot of noodles and broth and very little meat. I mean a really little portion of meat. The pho lacked flavor and needed a good dose of the chili that was at the table. Everything considered we got two bowels of noodles and a little meat. The spring rolls were okay. They looked good but were a bit overcooked. The cashier was very nice. He told us they were out of pork chops (that my guest wanted to order). Other than that he was polite and brought us our food. I'd like to say I'll go try this place again. After all it was clean and friendly. But the seating on cold metal chairs was uncomfortable and, as I said, the food totally failed to impress. There are plenty of other Vietnamese restaurants so next time I'll try another

    Went around 2pm for the first time. The servers were very friendly. The chicken bánh mì sandwich had plenty of vegetables, but very little chicken.

    Their pho is really good and prices are decent. I really liked their oxtail pho. My friend also once brought me pho and their bahn mi sandwich which were both delicious! The pho travels well to-go with the noodles and veggies separated from the broth. The bahn mi was also really good and I will be back to get it again!

    One of my ultimate comfort foods is pho, so I've tried my fair share of pho spots. After my dental appointment today, I decided to finally try this place,and I'm so glad I did. The food was really good. I ordered the Saigon pho with egg rolls, while my husband got the banh mi, and honestly, everything was delicious. Special shoutout to the broth and noodles of the pho, so flavorful and comforting. Also, don't skip their Thai tea. No need for boba, the Thai tea alone is already perfect.

    Beef Banh Mi

    Let's start with the positives. The food was fresh, everything looked pretty, and they provided all of the condiments needed. I also appreciate how fast I received my order. Came right on time and was still hot. I ordered delivery through DoorDash. I've never been to this location and decided to try them for the first time. I ordered the oxtail pho, the broth had a nice flavor they give you a lot of broth and noodles. I've never tried oxtail pho before and I love oxtail so I figured this should be a good choice. The oxtail itself had a lot of fat and the meat was flavorless. Definitely wouldn't order it again. When combined with the soup noodles hoisin sauce, and some Sriracha it's pretty decent. I was hoping there would be flavor. It kind of taste like they boiled it. Wasn't a big fan at all. The meat was tender, so that was a plus. I ordered their egg rolls. Those were nice and crunchy. Pretty good flavor. Side note: my dipping sauce had a long curly hair in it so whoever works in the back might want to put on a hairnet. I understand the mistakes happen though. I also ordered their garlic noodles. These were fresh and flavorful. Had a nice garlicy taste I added shrimp those were delicious. This was my favorite item. I also ordered their salad. It was really pretty and bright. It came with a fish sauce I think, on the side. Really refreshing nice flavors. I also ordered their sandwich. Grilled beef banh mi. It was pretty good. The vegetables inside we're fresh. Nice and crunchy. No complaints. I also ordered their Ube coffee and Thai tea. The Ube coffee had great flavor, the Thai tea was really good as well

The second one opened up, the lady (who was already busy taking people's orders) immediately came and started cleaning up the dirty dishes and wiped the table for us. I felt cared for! Many of the dishes come hot or cold. My friend and I both got the yuzu chashu, but one hot and one cold. It's essentially the same, but the hot version gets slightly more broth. The yuzu flavor came through subtly, and the chashu was perfectly chewy and fell apart upon biting. The noodles were cooked perfectly, but eat fast! They tended to cook more in the hot broth as time went on. Parking, seating, and pricing may be the only downsides. I also wish we got more than three pieces of edamame. But other than that, I can see this place being a fan favorite for many!
