    Pork vermicelli bowl
    Nelda S.

    We come here often now since the pho broth is the best in the area! Jonathan is always great, he's very welcoming and is very attentive. Even though the restaurant is busy our food still comes out pretty quickly. My boyfriend is on a pho diet right now so we've been coming in once a week!

    Now having been back a few more times, the food is fantastic, still. However, it's been very frustrating to deal with their ordering process. Sit down and order from the menu is your best get. Otherwise, you may unwittingly be playing a little Russian roulette. If you try to order from their website, you may not be paying the same price as the menu states. Sometimes higher, sometimes lower. And there's a fee they don't mention till the checkout process. If you try to order to go over the phone, again you will not necessarily be paying the price listed on the menu or the website. And they will again try to add extra fees for a to-go order. Which they also don't mention. If you come in and order from the menu for a to go order, you'll likely avoid any hidden fees but you'll have to pay for it with your time. All in all it just keeps getting more and more frustrating to deal with the service they are providing unless you're sitting down for dine in service. Although, they forgot things we ordered when we dined in as well. Be prepared to deal with a hassle for some really good Vietnamese food!

    First time dining here since Dat Ky relocated to this spot. The interior is very spacious with plenty of seating available. The spring rolls were decent, though I preferred them at the old location. They could've included more noodles or lettuce in the rolls. The peanut sauce was good. The bun bo hue was flavorful and came with a generous portion of meat and noodles. The noodles were a bit softer than I personally prefer, but overall it was still enjoyable. The service was great -- the staff made sure we received everything we asked for.

    This place has potential. It's a modern vibe in here but with traditional foods. We ordered the spring roll and it was good. The sauce is slightly different from the usual traditional style. Crab egg roll was good and crunchy. Rice plate came with regular egg and not the traditional egg thing that comes with it. Pho was solid and the bun bu hue can be ordered non spicy and add your spice on the side. The bone marrow was perfectly cooked. Service was good.

    Beef special pho and Thai tea

    I was very impressed with the beef special pho broth. It had a wonderful smooth texture and the flavor was almost gravy like. The beef was delicious and the meat fell off the rib bone. The bowl was the perfect amount of food. I also had the egg rolls that were crispy and flavorful. I appreciate how fair the prices are and will be going back in the future.

    I was on the search to try a different spot that serves bun bo hue (BBH) and Saigon Kitchen Express came recommended. Apparently I even had it in my bookmarks already, so I decided to read through some recent reviews and try out their BBH. I was especially drawn to the price point of everything. Very affordable (only $15 for a large BBH), especially in this economy. Of course, I soon found out why. The restaurant is strangely situated next to a laundromat, so parking is a bit wonky, but there are still plenty of spots available. It was very quiet when I walked in, with only two other parties dining in. I was quickly seated by the young server, who was pretty friendly and attentive. I already knew what I wanted, so I quickly placed my order. I did ask what the difference between the regular and the large BBH was, and was told that the large contained more noodles and broth. The price difference was only $1 so why would I get the regular anyway? I also ordered a Thai tea, which was cheap as well ($5.50). Well it didn't take long for my food to arrive. I also asked for shrimp paste, and that was given to me readily. It didn't come in its own container, rather a spoonful was handed to me (see photo). The star of the show and the main reason why I came to Saigon Kitchen Express, was for the giant rib bone that was included in my BBH. This bone was huge, and the meat was so so tender. The meat quite literally fell off the bone, and I had the best time gnawing on the bone itself after stripping the meat off and returning it to the broth. As I stated at the beginning of my review, this bowl of BBH was cheap. And quite honestly, there weren't a ton of noodles in the bowl. Aside from the giant rib bone and a few pieces of cha, there was also not a ton of meat. Flavor wise, it was decent, but I'm glad I added the shrimp paste, bc I love my BBH with extra funk. I just wish there were a few more noodles for me to enjoy, but it is what it is. I also asked at the end of my meal if they made pork blood cubes (since there weren't any in my bowl), and they said no. Personally, the dish is not complete without pork blood. I mainly got the large so I could save the broth to use for lunch the next day. That was delicious. The Thai tea was excellent. It was one of the strongest Thai teas I've had in a while, and I could tell that it was brewed in house. The amount of condensed milk was perfect as well. Lastly, it seemed like the menu "photos" were AI generated. This was honestly a disappointment for me. Wasting precious water for the sake of AI art is not cool. All in all, my bowl of BBH was pretty good, but it definitely wasn't the best I've had (nothing like Hue or BBH An Nam, iykyk), so I agree with some of the other reviews. I've seen people say the pho was pretty good, so I'll probably come back to try that next time. Honestly, I'd come back mainly for that juicy, tender rib bone.

    Had dinner here the other night before going to the paranormal cirque down the street. The restaurant itself is very open and plenty of seating. Very pretty restaurant. Service was good. The waiter was very attentive and made sure had everything we ordered and needed. We had the bone marrow for appetizer and I had the bun Bo hue while my friend had the bun thit nuong. The bone marrow was on the very salty side. I love bone marrow but I don't know if I would order again. The bun Bo hue was delicious! I'm actually thinking of going again just for a bowl of bun Bo hue tomorrow lol. Delicious! My friend had the bun thit nuong.. she said it was good. Can't go wrong with that bowl ever though. Overall I would recommend this place. And I will be back to try other items

    Pho menu

    Their pho menu comes with varying meat options, including tendon! Overall, I enjoyed it but it was just a tad salty for me, and I like salt! I feel like there's more meat than noodles, so if you like meat, this could be the place for you. The condiments included the usual sauces, but they offered lemon instead of lime. For drinks, I adored the Vietnamese coffee with salt cream. It was rich, smooth, and robust! Service was friendly and efficient. There's plenty of parking. Overall this is a solid choice for pho in the area. I'm looking forward to trying other dishes soon.

    Sabrina V.

    Delicious Vietnamese food, not too pricey. The shrimp and crab egg rolls are a must get, perfectly crisp and not too salty. Great flavors. The pho was tasty and had generous meat inside. Clean restaurant, with lots of options for pho, vermicelli and other dishes. I don't live in the area but would recommend if you're debating and wanting to eat Vietnamese food.

    Warm and friendly server greeted me. Was helpful in answering my questions of whether or not they had chow fun noodles for their soups... They do not (slightly disappointing). However, I ordered the Bun Bo Hue because of the apparent thicker noodle with more bite in the pictures on their menu. The atmosphere is pleasant and low key with what seems as contemporary Vietnamese ballads in the background a nice touch. Now to touch on some points. I wish there was more meat on my bone, a little less tendon and a bit more meat. Honestly, I understand today's restaurant plight and in all fairness this was a good meal at a good price for me. As a customer I wouldn't mind paying an extra five bucks for a bigger piece of meat on that bone.

    Egg rolls

    I found this hidden gem around the Arden area. I was craving pho and wanted to try something new. This spot did not disappoint at all. It's insanely spacious inside and provides a bit of a modern twist compared to most pho places which is nice. The service was quick and the staff was super attentive. The food came out quick! Easily within 5-10 mins after ordering. I tried the pho with flank steak and brisket in the large size which was so GOOD. Plenty of meat and the breast was so refreshing. I also had the egg rolls which were a nice first bite definitely not too crunchy. The coffee smoothie I had was good. I was not expecting it to be served with whip cream so keep that in mind. Overall I highly recommend this place as it's delicious and priced well!

    BBH
    Brandon N.

    Decent bowl of bbh. Good flavor. Wish the noodles were a bit more al dente. Noodles were a bit too soft for me but not bad all around. I'd come back and try more.

    Check out the huge rib in the Bun Bo Hue!
    Anthony W.

    I walked into Saigon Kitchen Express (hereby referred to as "SKE") and had a feeling of deja vu. Then I saw the giant hood above the counter which was no longer in use, and then I noticed the giant luxurious polished stainless steel doors. I couldn't quite place it so I searched the address in google and lo and behold it's the former site of The Kitchen! Michelin may not have recognized SKE but it serves up a Michelin star experience. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue and wow it blew me away. The broth was super tasty (but not really spicy, which is ok, maybe it can be requested to be more spicy?) and the ingredients were plenty and satisfying. It came with a giant beef rib and the meat was fatty and tendony but not overly so. Just the perfect amount to give you an easy to eat rib. I also tried the long bone marrow with bread and it was oh so good with the smokey fatty beefy goodness that comes from roasted bone marrow. I tasted the regular pho broth and it too was super tasty and I daresay as good as the Michelin bib gourmand pho place down in Rancho. So happy I have an alternative to driving so far to get super awesome pho. (Note: my table mates who did not get the pho and soup noodle dishes were not quite as happy as I was, so I'd recommend sticking with pho, BBH, and tom yum soup noodles.) Service was very good and the waiter was friendly and pleasant. I will surely be returning often for the AnthonyW bib gourmand awarded pho spot.

    Hu tiêu nam vang is the best as long as you squeeze extra lemon. Bùn bỏ huệ is also good, not too spicy. The pho is just ok.

That said, the menu offers a wide variety of broken rice dishes, so it seems like that might be more of their specialty. If I were to return, I'd probably try one of those instead of the pho.

We decided to…read moreeat here because we saw on the reviews that they had ox tail soup and bun rieu ( crab noodle soup). It appears the restaurant mainly serves seafood. As there are a lot of seafood options. However there is hotpot options and other noodle and rice dishes as well. The restaurant has a small outdoor patio. Inside has spacious table seating, some with booth and good lighting inside. There was ballad vietnamese music video playing. The restaurant was not busy and there were elderly men at the tables playing cards and some at another table they were chatting & drinking. Im not sure if they hold karaoke or have live bands but there is a stage with music instruments and a projector with installed party lights. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted right away. It was a bummer when they told us they didn't make ox tail or bum rieu today. Instead we ordered beef tartare, beef pho and shaken beef with rice. The beef tartare was this sliced raw beef with onion, herbs and lime which made the dish rich and savory. The pho was mediocre and same goes for the shaken beef, but both dishes were still tasty enough. During our time there, the server did not check on us or refill our water.
