Little hole in the wall Vietnamese food, definitely a gem in Eastie! I always order the Bún Tht Nng and the portions are bigggggg. There aren't a ton of seats so it can definitely fill up quick, take out is a good optinion here. The owner is so nice and friendly. read more

I love this place but I believe the service should be improved. I hate their delivery service if they are not going to provide a good service they should have delivery available at all, our delivery took more than an hour like really? Not ordering delivery from them again. read more

Little hidden gem!!! Been coming to this place for years. Food wise, this place is 5 stars. I love this place, all of their dishes are delicious. Their dumplings, spring rolls, pho soups, and rice dishes are delicious !!!! The plates are reasonably priced, however if you dine in, there is an automatic 20% tip charged on the bill for any sized party, which I thought was a little pricey. We bought about $60 worth of food, IF THAT, but our bill was $95 with "taxes and service" for only 3 people ? Taxes can't be that much, which means that these people are tipping themselves far over 20% & was tipping herself easily over $20 & this has happened to us on multiple occasions. A little unreasonable. I'm a server and don't force gratuity unless it's over 6 people. I will stick to ordering for take out and avoid dining in!! read more

Check your receipt if you don't want to get overcharged. Or you should not come here at all. The staff is shady.

I live close to this enchanting little cave and the food is exquisite. I hope my review and others will help this little place to shine in the spotlight alongside other specialized Asian Food businesses ! I've been to the Boston Chinatown, and this is in my opinion the tastiest and friendliest Vietnamese food spot to go! read more

the beef pho just like everyone commented is amazing with this cold weather. tasted really good and is not greasy. The meet is really good and so is the flavor. the price really cheap! read more

ehhh this place is for the birds. i used to love that saying. except back when we'd say "that shits for the birds...." i didn't even want to go here on account of the offensive name. if you'd ever seen a saigon hut or spent time in one you'd never name it that. there is no saigon any more and there ain't no huts there. call it ho chi min tall glass building. that'd make more sense. i went here because i don't have too many friends these days and this guy on my crew that we call rooster wanted to try it. said it had "authentic" pho. more like authentic faux. ha. learned that word in my ged class. it's spelled differently and has a different meaning but it's said the same way. not sure why i believed old rooster. he's about 90 and don't know his ass from his face. i told him before i like my food spicy. like the kind that kicks you in the face and makes you feel like you just came into the world. but this stuff wasn't spicy. it tasted like damp socks and old cereal and all i felt like doing once i tried it was being home again. read more

My tongue is still seriously burnt from my visit here... TWO days ago! And dude, SO WORTH IT! What else is better than a hot steaming bowl of Pho on a cold blustery New England evening complete with ice storms and residual snow? No comparison... I was driving back home to Boston from NY, and just craving something... comforting. Warm. Homey. And yet I didn't want to schlep all the way into Chinatown to go get it (I know, even if it IS only like 7 miles from my house - parking's too much of a pain in my ass!). So I whip out my new Storm (shameless product plug here - LOVE IT! SO AWESOME), and start searching through Yelp while navigating traffic. After three close accidents (I haven't gotten that multi tasking thing down... I think I should just stick to driving when driving), I found it! Saigon Hut. Although now it goes by just SaiGon. In East Boston, just a stone's throw from my residence in Winthrop. Score! It was 5:30PM when I blew into the restaurant with the wind. There was maybe one table occupied in the tiny establishment (8 tables total). The cook/owner/head cheese was hanging out at one of the tables texting, and he jumped up to greet me the minute I walked in. I was famished, so I ordered an order of the fried dumplings (I love dumplings. They rock my world), and a medium bowl of Pho, beef style with eye round and flank and brisket (#21). The waitress was cute and polite, and her English wasn't all that great. Whatevs, she understood my order. And after sounds of frying and pans being moved around... my dumplings arrived. Great thing about how small this place is is that the food comes RIGHT from the kitchen straight into your mouth. Which means... plenty of burning tongue. But SO WORTH IT! Dumplings were delicious. Sure, that might be Hungry Joanna talking, but they were awesome. And then... the cook comes out of the back, proudly bringing me my brimming bowl of Pho. I think he gave me a large, because there was no way in all hell that was a medium. It was huge! And... I burnt my tongue again on that meaty soulful broth. Mmm... yes, it was soulful. It made me feel like I was home. Finally. It tasted JUST like the Pho I grew up eating with my pops at seedy Vietnamese restaurants in Queens, NY. It made me seriously miss my parents. And I ate pretty much everything that was in front of me. It was awesome. I'll definitely be back. :) read more

Got take out today and was IMPRESSED. I usually hit Chinatown every time I get sick for a nice bowl of pho...now I don't have to go through the tunnel to get that same great quality. Had the springrolls as well and they were packed and served with a tasty sauce. A must try. read more

This place is excellent!!! I order delivery from here at least once a week, especially in the winter when a bowl of Pho helps warm the soul. This review is only for delivery. I love this place, they are quick and the food is always fresh and delicious. The price is right and the portions are very decent. I recently switched to Saigon Hut from Pho Number 9 because Pho Number 9's customer service is a bit lacking, the portions are skimpy, and they don't deliver. Saigon Hut solves all these issues. We typically order the Pho Tai, or Pho dac biet, but we have also tried the noodles dishes such as bun thit nuong cha gio which was very tasty. I have also ordered their banh xep (Vietnamese crepe) and it was filled with juicy shrimp, and chicken or pork. Their Goi Cuon is extremely fresh and it is nice to eat a spring roll that isn't filled with just noodles and wilting veggies. It is obvious that their spring rolls are NOT pre rolled or made. I like that. If you are looking for some down to earth solid, excellent tasting Vietnamese delivery, I highly recommend the Saigon Hut. Another plus is that they do take credit cards over the phone and delivery is free with a $15 minimum. read more

The old Sai Gon is gone, and new owners have taken over this establishment. They also moved from Meridian to Bennington (closer to Orient Heights), so I will miss being able to walk here. Regardless, they still deliver, which is great. The one thing I've noticed about the "New Saigon" is that many of their prices have gone slightly up, and the food does not taste the same. It's still better than most Asian restaurants in East Boston. The food is not as well seasoned as it used to be, but for dishes like Pho you won't be disappointed. read more

If you want the freshest soup and pho this is the place to order from! Another east boston gem by far! They package all the fresh herbs and vegetables separate from the broth so you can tailor it just how you like it. This is my favorite place in east boston for pho and soup! You will be in for a treat. read more

hidden gem! come to this place and youll feel like a real foodie for finding a place so small but so good! first off, how crazy is it that there is a viet place in the middle of hispanic east boston? it's a breath of fresh air from the dollar/convenient store wasteland that is meridian street. only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is that it needs a decor update. i've tried a ton of stuff and it's always been consistent with huge portions for a low price. pho, or the noodle soups, are always flavored so well. i sometimes get the vermicelli bowl with veggies, grilled shrimps, and pork slices. the tofu with a coconut curry sauce that comes with veggies and rice is TOOO GOOD. my tried and true, however, is humble #55.. a rice place with the works. if i advise you into getting anything at this place its the avocado shake. it's sweet and creamy and delicious. i even tried to find a copycat recipe online to myself but it never comes out like this place makes it! read more

I ate at this place while I waited for my car to get finished tinted. The pictures is what sold me on this place. Although the food was ok, I definitely think the pictures look better than it actually taste. I've been spoiled by the Vietnamese in Dorchester, so my standard is very high. It's not a place that I will go out my way to go back to, but if I'm in the area I'll definitely stop by again, for the service alone. I didn't feel rushed, and the waitress was very good a reading when you wanted to be bothered. read more

Terrible food. No flavor. Terrible service. We left no tip. And then the server charged us for a tip anyway. I will be coming back during dinner to call her out and demand the money she fraudulently charged my credit card. read more

Lots of variety on the menu. Went with a group of 4, so I got to try many different dishes. Everything was very tasteful, and service was on point, however I notice it would depend on which server is working that day. The male server is usually good. The grilled meat was awesomely marinated. I would definitely come back. Small and cozy environment, plus the price is very affordable. read more

We live within spitting distance of Sai Gon and we like it just fine. I'm used to Vietnamese food being a tad less oily than the fare here, but the food is tasty enough. The vermicelli bowls and the grilled beef with lemongrass are our favorites. I wouldn't bring someone I was trying to impress to Sai Gon, but honestly, the neighborhood is not so bad that I wouldn't feel comfortable walking it alone (especially not at 6 p.m. on a Saturday night). read more

Really solid Vietnamese food, especially in eastie. The fresh rolls with grilled beef are delicious. The pork vermicelli is awesome - best I've had at a Vietnamese restaurant in awhile. I haven't tried the pho yet. The owners/staff are friendly and prices are very reasonable. They deliver too but once I called for delivery and no one answered but when I walked over they were open - so maybe delivery is spotty; I'm not sure. read more

I love this place! Food is tasty and affordable and they deliver in Easty. I am a vegitarian and they are very considerate and kind when it comes to fears about fish oil. Lemon grass anything is fantastic (I got tofu, my partner got chicken.) read more

I ordered from this place on an app called Bring Me That. After about 30 minutes, I received an email that they couldn't get in touch with the restaurant to confirm the order. I tried calling myself, with no luck. Finally, after an hour, I got someone on the phone from the restaurant. They apologized and said they'd be happy to accept my order over the phone. I placed my order, gave them my cc, and they said it would arrive in 20 minutes. After 30 minutes, I called back to find out the status. I was assured that it would arrive in just a minute. It's now been an hour and a half and the restaurant is closed. I've called and left voicemails, with no response. I'm starving and frustrated, and wasted several hours of my life on this place. Never again. read more

I think the service could better, there are some young servers that should interact better when you are ordering. But the food is always the same quality and you don't have to wait too long to get your food. read more

Saigon Hut is BY FAR my favorite vietnamese restaurant (the new owners are great)! The vermicelli with yellow curry and tofu is creamy and delicious. The pho is excellent and I have never had a disappointing meal from here. read more

I was skeptical of some of the reviews on yelp, as the restaurant looks small and modest. But when I tried out their Pho Tai Nam, it was pretty impressive! Definitely has the authentic Vietnamese flavor. The soup broth seems to have been prepared the right way, slow cooking over night, has a deep beefy flavor and bits of beef in the broth. Noodles were also fresh and firm. Sweet lil girl in there works really hard and takes care of all customers by herself. Another good thing is that it's a fav hang out spot for East Boston police so you know it's safe, lol. I like Saigon Hut better than the downtown joints and it is comparable with some of the Pho that can be had in LA. Definitely worth trying out for any Pho enthusiast! Btw their hours are 10-10 except Fri 10-11. read more

We have some soups and smoothies here, I must say this is the best vietnamese restaurant in town. The food are awesome and the guy who served us is soooooooo handsome and friendly at the same time, he helped us a lot to pick our food since this is the first time we come here. Cant way yo come back to this wonderful restaurant!!! read more

Love this place! This is my new favorite place for pho. Prices are great, owner is very nice and place is clean. Ive had the pho and its fantastic, along with there pan seared dumplings sooooo good. The spring rolls with the peanut sauce have me coming back. I make it a point to go at least once a week. read more

Very very good! Service was excellent. Pho was fantastic with many options to choose, ie vegetarian option. I also had an avocado shake which gave me a belly ache, a lil too rich for me. A cute hole in the wall I definitely would go to again or recommend to others on your way to the airport. read more

Came here for the first time at 9:00 today (so it was a rather empty dining room with just one other couple). Food: My boyfriend and I both ordered a rice plate (because craving rice) and thought it tasted fine. Wished the portions were slightly bigger, because rice plates tend to be enormous in other Vietnamese restaurants but the taste was perfectly fine. Service: There seems to be a lot of service problems in these reviews but I did not experience any at all. The waiter was attentive and was easy to find. She came by with water and checks and made sure we were doing well. Overall, a 4/5 star rating. read more

Been coming here for 5 years, best pho in East Boston. Bubble tea is great! Seafood pho & steak pho is my favorite. Also the curry is delicious! read more

Great food. friendly staff. I ordered #32 spicy beef noodle soup. it was so good and i am definitely going back for second!

This place is just the bomb.com. Owner is so sweet. Food is always on point. I love the chicken pho, and their shakes are amazing. Great for takeout but also cute and cozy to eat in at during a winter storm. read more

A nice little, well run, inexpensive, BYOB place. Not much for the ambience, but a very friendly hostess/waitress. Try the Seafood Pho and shrimp salad, fresh, plentiful, and yummy. I even had leftovers. read more

The Pho is extremely good. I'm not aware of many Viet places in the East Boston area, but I would be surprised if there are any better than this one. The dining in experience isn't "glamorous" but its clean and most importantly, the service is good. The food is great, and affordable. Definitely recommend this place. read more

I love this place! The Banh Hoi Tom is awesome. It's also a fantastic place to get any variety of Pho. The service is super friendly and they offer delivery (always a plus after a tiring day!) read more

I am genuinely obsessed with this place and am THIS close to getting a 2nd job solely to have funds to go to Siagon Hut with. The food is so good and I love that it's a cute little hole in the wall, those are the best! read more

I have come to this restaurant for a long time now and I must say this is the best Vietnamese soup I have try the owners are really nice will highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Great little gem in eastie. Their pho is as good as I've had anywhere. Always fast service too!

Nothing fancy, just afforable Vietnamese food. Very nice owners and their children are always such well-behaved little girls. Parking can be a pain sometimes, but overall a good place to get a quick bite for a great price. read more

I live just a block away and come almost every weekend. Definitely my favorite restaurant in the area. Portions are more than fair and the Pho, along with the rest of the food, is great. read more

This place changed hands...now its dirty, 5 things I ordered they said weren't on the menu anymore... the former owners moved to Orient Heights (New Saigon) and the only customers were family members. Not sure why they were allowed to keep this name. Do yourself a favor, go to the new location. read more

Food looked and tasted disgusting. Worst Thai food ever. Staff was not friendly. Also the fridge in the dining room looked gross. We called ahead or else I wouldn't have ordered. read more
