One of my top go to places for authentic Vietnamese food! Located in a plaza with other Asian stores, it is convenient to stop by for lunch. For appetizers, I decided to go with the fried calamari with I believe is a spicy mayo sauce. It's plated on lettuce and fried jalapeños that looks aesthetic and goes well with the calamari. For entree, l I always get the Specialty Beef Rice plate and I am always satisfied. Portion is very filling and well priced. For service, Tony & Derek are my favorite servers. I'm always greeted with a welcoming smile. The seating can get tight when it's busy as it is a small place so plan accordingly! read more

Saigon Noodles - Fried Calamari & Special Beef Rice Plate - Vietnamese Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Such a delight! This was my second time here for lunch, and my first time trying their pho. The broth was very good, meats were tender as you'd want, and the "large" was a massive portion especially for the very reasonable price. We also split spring rolls and summer rolls; both were very tasty and conveniently cut in half for easy sharing. We ended up getting a show since there was a lion dance performance (happy late lunar new year!!) right outside. The lions even came inside to the delight of many customers. And if you have room for dessert, you can just walk right next door to Paradise Smoothies! read more

This is the best pho I've had in Baton Rouge so far, everything is fresh and tasty. I usually order the vegetarian pho (I'm not vegetarian though, just like tofu) and I have the option of beef or chicken broth, I go with the more traditional beef broth. The veggie pho is packed with puffy tofu, mushrooms, and bok choy among other veggies. I also get the spring rolls without pork which makes for a satisfying appetizer. The ambience of this place is very clean, the music can be loud though, think trendy pop music, which sort of throws me off. Service is pretty quick and efficient and the staff is usually friendly. read more

Stop here! You won't regret it! We had Vietnamese egg rolls and beef stir fry noodles and pork bun. Sooooo delicious!!

Dropped by here for lunch yesterday. I ordered spring roll as well as seafood soup. The roll was very fresh, dipping sauce was good as well. The seafood soup was outstanding, I have not found a broth that taste so good anywheres else. Soup had plenty shrimp, mussells, crab claws, etc. service was very friendly and checked in on me numerous times. I will certainly come back for more and would recommend. read more

A decent addition to the Vietnamese restaurant community. I didn't get pho, instead opting out for my server's favorite dish, a heaping bowl of Bún bò Hu. Unlike pho, there is rice vermicelli noodles, the broth a slighly redder, more chili and lemongrass oriented, and cabbage instead of a mound of bean sprouts to sprinkle in. Pho being the lifegiver that it is, I had to try it's cousin and I can't say that it disappointed as much as I am not sure that they are actually back there boiling shanks down everyday for stock. It's a very clean and nice place to meet or eat alone, and very conveniently located to Hong Kong market. read more

Really awesome ambiance and clean tasting Pho broth. What I really like about this spot is the variety of rolls they have and the variet of dishes. The decor is modern for a strip mall setting and the service was much better than the average Vietnamese service. The pho broth was full of flavor even before the extra fixing and the temperature was perfect. The Vietnamese iced coffee was SO STRONG AND I LOVED IT lol it was a great sweet contrast to the spicy pho soup. Awesome pho joint in BR . read more

This has to be my favorite vietnamese restaurant in Baton Rouge! They have many options: Bun Bo Hue (spicy pork noodle), pho, mi bo kho, and delicious rice plate with grilled pork! I love every one of those plates! They are all delicious! I also like the service I got from here! I go here about once a week! See you next time! read more

Pho broth is excellent and the restaurant is really nice. Great customer service really like this place.

Very good place for a date and for some traditional Vietnamese dishes. Everything is spiced to perfection and you get some very large portions (my girlfriend never finishes hers at the restaurant, most of the time she doesn't even finish half!). I wouldn't go out of my way to go here every day, but It's always a good spot to grab some food and a drink! read more

First came to this location 4 years ago, when they had a happy hour pho (which was awesome). Was great the first 2 years visiting this location. Even stopped by the Lafayette location when driving brought before. Moved away but returning for work, so went back a couple of weeks ago and it still looks the same. Good upkeep of the interior. Very clean. Even some of the same waitstaff, all very nice. Was with a friend and both ordered pho. I prefer the ensemble of meats. Friend ordered bowl without tripe. My bowl was pretty good, but it tasted just a little bit "gritty" in a way that I haven't experienced here before. The flavor was still excellent. The best aspect of this place is that the broth has very consistently good flavor. Now the other person had issues. Bowl was placed and there is tripe in the broth (asked for no tripe). First waitress offered to pick it out of the bowl, until the senior waitress came over to offer a new bowl. Second bowl delivered. More tripe in the bowl. Taken back again. The waitress apologized and brought it back and delivered a third bowl. Third bowl. More tripe. This time waitress asks us to point out what we are talking about. We point to the tripe in the soup. She brings it back to the kitchen again and they say it must be in the stock pot. Not sure if it's true or not, but the head waitress was nice and did not charge us for the bowl we didn't eat because. Friendly and tried to help, but it was just off putting that it room three tries, but still had the same issue each time. May give it another go at some point because it was so good for so long, but may be a little while read more

I went to Saigon noodles on Saturday with a couple of friends for the first time and I'm happy to say I'll be back soon! We started with the Autum roll and if you haven't had this before, I highly recommend. The pineapple dipping sauce really brings it all together!! Also we had the Korean bbq short ribs, so tender and flavorful!! I originally went for the pho but instead had the bun bo hue and I was more than pleased with this dish. All the flavors came together and the overall broth just seemed super authentic which I love! read more

This is my personal favorite place to get pho in BR. I have to drive 30 minutes to get there, but no where else seems to really hit the spot like this place does. They recently renovated so the interior is much more bright and inviting now. Usually you can get a table right away and service is good as well. Now that the Asian supermarket and vivis has open right across the street, I have even more reasons to make the trip over there! read more

Wow! This food at this spot will surprise you! I travel the country and eat Vietnamese food in some Great cities - I was turned onto this place while in town and figured I would give it a try- kinda rougher area of town- but hey! That's where the good food is right- They knocked it our of the park - sugar cane shrimp app and grilled chicken noodle bowl- both excellent! The server was superb! This is in the middle of the covid deal so had to wear a mask to enter - apparently that doesn't apply to the local Vietnamese population as they were welcomed no masks required - that was a little sour for me - but a good dinner for sure read more

So for this place it was maybe just a bad day for them. Their menu wasnt as broad as many other pho shops and their vegetarian option were practically no existent. I ordered the beef pho and that was my own fault for not clarifying which one but the waiter brought out this crazy, spicy beef pho I was unable to identify. When someone orders "beef pho" I would hope the waiter next time says, "which one?" The chicken pho did not have a lot of flavor and all the chili oil and srichacha you must ask for as it is not readily available. I ordered some spring rolls too and they gave me the hard parts of the lettuce!! Not enough of that peanut sauce either. They don't have sandwiches and no iced tea. I give it two stars because I wouldn't be ok with giving it another shot and would try a different place. Nor would I bring friends here. read more

"Pho-nomenal hot pot and rice dishes". I was extremely impressed by this place. For the past month, I have been in and out of restaurant to look at the menu and finally got to dine in this past month. For some reason, the many times I have been to this plaza, I just did not remember this restaurant all that well. With an extensive menu of pho and rice dishes, there was never a dull dining moment. The meal was started with the Vietnamese Egg Rolls that were just mediocre. For the price, I wish they would have left a lasting impression. They were not as crispy as I would have wanted them to be and would have liked there to be more than just 2. I ordered a small order of Brisket & Beef Flank Pho, which seemed entirely too large for me already, so it was perfect for splitting. I loved the plate of fresh bean sprouts, basil leaves, cilantro and jalapenos the bowl of pho comes. with. My husband ordered the House Special Beef and Chicken, which I have nothing but the best things to say about the dish. The dish was beautifully prepared plate and had a lot going on with a piece of fried shrimp on a sugar cane stick a fried egg roll, perfectly marinated beef and grilled chicken. I was on cloud nine because everything that happened on this plate was just some of the best in Vietnamese cuisine I have had in a long time. Though I am a fan of pho, I was more excited about the grilled meats and rice dish. I cannot until my next visit, so I can eat this! read more

My family and I stopped here on our way to New Orleans to eat lunch. The menu is full of classic Vietnamese foods: from pho, to bun, to bo kho. I was pleasantly surprised at he amount of food this restaurant was able to provide! I ordered the vermicelli bowl with grilled pork because that's my go to dish at Vietnamese restaurants. The wait for the food was pretty long; if I had to guess it was around 25-30 minutes. When the food finally came out I was so hungry that I dove right into the bowl. The amount of food that they give you was pretty large. There was a fair amount of grilled pork, vermicelli, and vegetables. Everything was pretty average except for the pork! The pork was delicious!! It is probably the best Vietnamese style grilled pork I have ever had! I finished the bowl regretting to ask for extra pork. All in all the food was pretty good, but the wait time was what prevented the 5-stars. I would recommend it to my friends and I will probably come back here soon. read more

My wife ordered the House Special w/Beef and Chicken, and I have to admit it wasn't half bad. The spring rolls were good too! The food surprisingly tasted fresh.

Saigon Noodles - House special Beef and Chicken - Vietnamese Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I'm so, so, so incredibly disappointed in the Vietnamese cuisine in Baton Rouge. I gave it one more shot at a different place and I didn't like it either. We spent $40 here for an appetizer and two entrees. I was not impressed with the food at all. We got the Saigon Wings as the appetizer. 6 wings drenched in this sticky, salty, thick sauce that tasted like fish sauce, sugar, soy sauce, and lemongrass. I tasted every element of those seasonings separately, instead of one melded flavor. I wanted the Banh Mi Bo Kho and that's what I initially ordered. The waitress came back 5 minutes later to tell me to order something else because they didn't have Banh Mi (bread). What Vietnamese restaurant runs out of bread before the day ever starts? I came in for lunch at 11. (they open at 1030). So I settled for that day's special, Bo Luc Lac. Beef cubes and rice. The beef was cooked properly but again, the flavor was off. I wish I had some pickled veggies, but I only got a few cucumbers. My boyfriend got the Saigon house special, the rice dish with the meat, sugarcane shrimp stick, tiny quiche sized egg cake, an overeasy egg, veggies, rice, and fish sauce. The fish sauce is very bland, it tasted like lemon water. The egg cake was delicious but smaller than what I would have hoped. The meat wasn't flavorful. My boyfriend didn't mind at all that I was eating his food. He didn't even finish his dish.....and he typically always finishes everything. I got charged $2.50 for my diet coke and she only gave me one refill. My cup was empty for about 10 minutes....If I get charged close to $3 for a soda I'd like to have quick refills at least. I wouldn't choose to eat Vietnamese food in Baton Rouge again. I'd honestly stick to any other viet place in New Orleans. For those of you with no other choice, I feel bad for you. read more

I like this place a lot and the pho is really flavorful and tongue-touching. The rice dishes are decent too with savory marinades. The restaurant's interior is a good sight while you're eating, but it is a little small. Don't doubt me when I say the waiters/waitressses are on top of their game, they know the menu front and back, kudos to them. Egg rolls are decent too and for pho and Vietnamese food the prices are comfortable for many people. It's a good place to enjoy pho with your family or even eat there with a date. The location (where the shopping center is) isn't the best as it's old, but saigon noodles's interior stands out compared to the rest. read more

My favorite Pho in Baton Rouge! Love love love this place. Maybe my favorite Pho ever but I love all Pho. They used to do a happy hour lunch special from 2-4 but not sure if they still do. Always friendly, I love the house special. Good stuff!! read more

I stopped by to eat at this place and the waiter took the order of the other tables that came in after me so I had to ask him to please take my order, he replied wait. I got up and left, I am hoping he did not discriminate me because of my race but I will never return there again. I've eaten here before and their services was allot better, sadly this is no longer the case. read more

Soooo yummy!!! The staff was super friendly and the food came out in a timely manner! I had the beef stew and it was so good! Very authentic. Definitely recommend and will be returning! read more

Great food & good service in a nice atmosphere is a good way to sum this place up. A large group of us (14) came in around 6:00 on a Friday night & were seated immediately. Our server was good & quick. The menu had a lot of options. You should probably come here with an idea of what you want to eat or you'll spend an hour looking through the menu. The food was really good. Usually whenever I go eat Asian food, it isn't comparable to my family's cooking, but this place is a different story. The soup broth was flavored & just delicious. And the portions were good, too. If I was in the area and craving Viet food, I would definitely come here again. read more

Nice and super clean. Great new vietnamese restaurant to Baton Rouge. We used to do Pho sunday every week at our favorite pho place but when it switched owners the food started to suck so we pretty much stopped going and had not found a new pho place that I liked till now...I am pretty picky with my vietnamese restaurants. It is comfortable and laid back. The portions are pretty big. We left full and planning on coming back. read more

Saigon Noodles is one of the nicest Vietnamese places in Baton Rouge. If I was bringing someone to try Vietnamese for the first time, this is probably where I would consider bringing them first. There is very little to differentiate Saigon Noodles from any other Vietnamese restaurant around Florida Blvd. The biggest compliment I can bestow is that it appears to be the cleanest and has the nicest atmosphere. Their pho is as good as any of the other Vietnamese restaurants. read more

What a neat little place in Baton Rouge. This is the second Vietnamese place I've tried in this city. I like this one a lot better, although not as good as some places in New Orleans. Its a nice clean place with a lovely familial atmosphere. The workers here are very nice and prompt as well. I had the Pho and my bf got a combination rice plate. Both were yummy. Its a nice Vietnamese place in BR for convenience to satisfy your craving. I recommend everyone to try this place out! read more

I've eaten here twice and both times, I have not been wowed. If you don't really know what great quality pho is, this is your place. The bun bo hue is okay, but Dream Berries is a bit better with the taste. The spring rolls are presented on chic plating. It's a bit pricey for 2 full rolls cut in half, making it appear to be 4 pieces... The interior decor is nice which helps make up for some of the shotty traditional cuisine that's served. It's another option to the lack of options in Baton Rouge. read more

This is honestly my most favorite pho place in BR just because it is so authentic! I've had my fair share of pho around BR and none can compare to Saigon Noodles. It's a 20 minute drive from where I live, but it's worth the trip for me. If you're looking for true Vietnamese cuisine, this is it! read more

Cute and modern little place! Heard great things so I came to try them out but I wasn't too impressed. My Bun Bo Hue was very spicy but I didn't like the taste much compare to other ones I've had at different places. The shrimp spring rolls are great but in opinion it would be better without the pork in it- too dry!! I will probably come back and try something else before I decide if I like them or not! read more
