    Shaking beef
    Wayne G.

    3.8/5.0 Stars. We both have shaking beef. The vegetables are fresh, the beef is tender and the broth is good. The staff provide good service. They have a restroom faucet plumbing issue they are working on. Parking can be annoying here.

    Came here with 3 of my friends this past Saturday. We arrived a little after 12pm. We were able to check in on the Yelp waitlist in the app beforehand, and we were seated immediately upon arrival. We ordered a few dishes to share - 2 bánh khọt (Vietnamese mini pancakes), 1 xôi thập cẩm (sticky rice), 1 bánh mì chảo (filet mignon), and 2 cà phê dừa (coconut coffee). An order of bánh khọt came with 7 pancakes and a side of veggies and fish sauce. The pancakes were really crispy, and they were delicious, especially wrapped with the veggies. I just wished they gave more lettuce or at least allowed refills. More veggies was an extra charge. The xôi thập cẩm and bánh mì chảo were also good. The cà phê dừa was blended so it was more smoothie-like. The sweet coconut balanced out the strong coffee. Overall, we had a great and filling lunch. The restaurant was modern, polished, and inviting.

    Great flavors, one of the best banh khot (mini pancake) I've had in a while. The shaken beef was super tender. The coconut coffee was very strong and not too sweet. I enjoyed it. Fast service and cool ambiance!

    When I'm in sac and craving for banh mi chao, I have to come here! I love the flavor and the meat is tender. The sauce pairs so well with the baguette and I love dipped the bread in the runny egg yolk. There's usually a wait here so make sure to use Yelp waitlist to check how long the wait is! We also tried bánh xèo for the first time. It was crispy and delicious with the toppings and sauce that comes with it!

    Came here in a party of 3 on a Saturday morning. There was a tablet for the waitlist, but we were seated immediately. Ordered: - green thai tea: not too sweet! - coconut coffee: very thick and filling, more like a dessert than something you drink on the side - banh mi chao: yum, meatball was my fav, beef could be more tender though - banh khot: standard, could be crispier though - shaking beef: loved the rice that came with it and was a good portion Overall, food and service was quick. Wasn't too busy on a Saturday morning, so it was easy to get staff attention if we needed anything. Very casual and you pay at the front, great prices too.

    Saigon Oi is known for its specialty Vietnamese menu items, such as Banh Mi Chao (aka Bo Ne), Banh Khot (savory mini pancakes with shrimp), and Banh Canh Cua (crab meat udon soup). The restaurant is very popular on weekends and offers weekend specials. Some entrees are only offered weekdays, like Banh Xeo (large savory pancake or crepe), and others, like Com Do Beef Steak (ribeye or rib eye steak with red rice), are only offered on weekends. If you saw a delicious picture of something you wanted to eat, you might want to read reviews or call to check. Note: The restaurant is open 10 AM to 5 PM, so it's more of a brunch, lunch, after school, and early dinner restaurant. CLOSED ON WEDNESDAYS. Restaurant has 19 tables. Bossa Nova lounge music or easy listening music was playing and giving off beach vibes. Think of the song "The Girl From Ipanema." I went on a weekday. The server let me choose and sit at any empty table. He was kind and helpful to answer all my foodie questions throughout my visit. To help me choose what one entree to order, he first asked me if I preferred beef or chicken. If beef, choose Banh Mi Chao or Com Do Bo Luc Lac (Shaking Beef). If chicken, choose Com Do Ga Quay (Roasted Chicken with Red Rice). The Banh Mi Chao comes with filet mignon chunks, a pork meatball, a slice of pork roll, 2 eggs, pate made out of pork liver, 2 baby tomatoes, onions, and a cilantro sprig. A toasted bread roll accompanies it. You get Sweet Soy Sauce to adjust the Banh Mi Chao to taste. It's made with chilis and a little sugar. I don't think it's necessary given the dish is plenty flavorful. You can ask to customize the Banh Mi Chao if you don't want one or more of the ingredients. Some customers only want the steak and eggs and maybe the pork roll. I liked the pork meatball and might skip the pork roll, which is similar in texture to a fish ball. The pate has a rich, gamey flavor: You can taste the liver. I didn't know that pate is traditionally made of liver until the server told me. Although I thought the bread was too dry, I needed it, as well as my water and Coconut Coffee, to balance the saltiness of the entree. I think I would prefer the bread untoasted or more lightly toasted, which would require you to wait longer for that to be made to order. The Coconut Coffee was recommended by several Yelp reviewers. Vietnamese Coffee is strong, so make sure to stir or gently shake your drink before drinking it. Creamy, coconutty, and right amount of sweetness. During my meal, my server checked on me once to see if I was enjoying my meal. I think you'll have to flag him down if you need more water or want to order more. When you're done eating, go to the counter to check out. You'll see a sign that instructs you to pay there. Besides the Banh Mi Chao, other Yelp reviewers loved the Banh Khot, Fish Sauce Chicken Wings, Shaking Beef, and Roasted Chicken. Most enjoyed the Banh Canh Cua. I thought the Crab Meat with Salted Egg Fried Rice sounded delicious.

    Crab Meat with Salted Egg Fried rice
    Jeffrey W.

    I love this place! The food is tasty and the staff is friendly. I go here whenever I was Vietnamese food but something different than most pho places. I also always take friends and family visiting here and it never disappoints. The yelp wait is pretty accurate, so I recommend joining before you head over to avoid having to wait there. Last time I went and checked, it was about an hour wait so I joined it and did some grocery shopping nearby before going there. I've had everything on the menu so it's up to the point where it depends on what I'm feeling. Everything on the menu is different so it's not too hard to choose. If I want something soupy, I'll go for the crab udon, if I want rice, the fried rice, something full of flavor, the Banh Mi Chao, something light, then the Banh Khot (good option since they don't make Banh Xeo on the weekends). The last time I went 07/04/2026, I noticed on the wall they were having a special, Bun Bo Hue, which I love when I go to pho restaurants. I'm not sure if it's new or I've been blind this whole time, but it did not disappoint. It was full of flavor, and it was nice that they put the spicy paste on the side for you to adjust the spiciness. I love spicy foods but one of my friends do not, so it was easy for us to enjoy our meal. It was also not just a spicy sauce to add; there was a past along with it. Shrimp paste maybe? I didn't ask, but it enhanced the flavor, so I recommend using it. Their sister restaurant, Me's Kitchen is next on my list to try. Can't wait!

    Saigon Oi is not your typical Vietnamese restaurant--there's no pho here, but plenty of other delicious classics that will absolutely keep you coming back. My personal favorite is the bánh xèo: crispy, flavorful, and done right every time. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I really appreciate that they keep the menu focused and intentional. It's clear they've chosen to do a smaller number of dishes exceptionally well. It shows in the quality and consistency.

    Special Duck Noodle
    Andy C.

    I have been a regular at Saigon Oi since they opened and yes I have waited over 45 minutes like everyone else in the past. It's because the Vietnamese fusion food is really that yummy and presentation is an awe. I guess everyone has already tried their entire menu since it's like 10 items and drinks on the otherside. But I always welcome their Specials because like this Month the braised duck noodle soup was AMAZING there was 3 prices of generous portions of duck and herbal ingredients in the soup. If you love ducks and noodles as much as I do this is to die for. I would definitely return and have the duck noodles again or whatever your next special today's meal.

    hungry for Vietnamese street food
    Arnel E.

    This highly-rated restaurant is located in the Pacific Rim Plaza in Stockton Boulevard. It's famous for creating modern twists on Vietnamese street food. Though their signature dish is the Bánh Mì Chảo, we opted to have this on another day. Photos posted online are exactly what to expect upon entering this packed eatery. Trendy & modern decor & lighting fixtures abound. We reserved our spot via Saigon Oi's Yelp page waitlist feature while we were a good 30 minutes away. This was perfectly timed for that Sunday lunch as we were two parties away from being seated when we checked-in. Parking's tricky, so be prepared for that experience. Drinks: Kumquat Lemongrass Tea and Coconut Coffee. Both satisfying and flavorful drinks. The iced tea was refreshing while the coconut Vietnamese coffee was a great tasting waker-upper. Dishes: Crispy Fish Sauce Chicken Wings, Ribeye Steak and Vietnamese Shaking Beef, both with red rice. Food was OMG good. I'm drooling right now as I'm writing this review. Want to go back ASAP.

    Had a great time here eating with my partner for Valentine's Day brunch! It's such a lovely cafe/restaurant. It's part of a Vietnamese plaza so it can be difficult to find parking. They use Yelp waitlist so you can easily check how long the wait is. We waited for about 5 minutes until your table was ready. The interior is beautiful it's with modern charm, lunar new year decorations, and gardenscaped bar station. Service was quick, efficient, and easy. We ordered: - Banh Khot: beautiful colors of gold and orange and green! Very filling and crunchy! Just be careful to not burn yourself since they're on top of a hot skillet. It comes with veggies on a separate plate like lettuce and mint with fish sauce. It's great by itself or as filling for a lettuce wrap. - Bo Luc Lac with Rice: They didn't have pasta or egg noodle that day so we settled for the rice. Great portion of rice and the beef was tender and juicy. - Com Do Ga Quay: I was very happy with the portion size of the chicken! Lots of meat, rice, and yolk on top for extra protein. What a great dining experience.

    Hello Banh Mi Chao and Banh Khot! All my fave Vietnamese food in one restaurant. And the name Saigon Oi, how can you forget it! Rather I go with my hubs or friends, I always order the same dishes!!! They always like my choices too. Come on the weekend as you might be lucky and get to try their Porridge too!

    Rachel C.

    Stumbled upon this restaurant using Yelp because my mom was craving "Asian food." Saigon Oi isn't your typical Vietnamese restaurant that serves Pho or Pork Chop Rice Plates and egg rolls. They offer a good variety of Vietnamese street food but with their own twist to it. I was fortunate enough to travel to Vietnam toward the end of 2024, so I was actually surprised to have recognized some of the names of the dishes! Saigon Oi is located in a pretty busy shopping plaza with other businesses around. Parking was a little difficult for my family and I but we eventually found a walkable spot. They can get really busy so if you plan on checking this place out, I highly suggest you check their Yelp page to get an estimated wait time. A waitlist via Yelp is available; which is great. They even have the Yelp waitlist iPad when you enter the restaurant. The restaurant is clean and bright. Spacious enough but, like I said, it can get really busy. Thankfully, my family and I were seated immediately. They do provide highchairs for your little ones. Their menu is small but is enough and really highlights popular dishes in Vietnam. So I appreciate being able to order easily without feeling overstimulated. We ordered the mini pancakes, chicken wings (a must get, trust!!!), shaking beef with red rice and the crab fried rice. Each dish definitely holds onto its own unique flavor and meshes well with each other. I enjoyed my meal at Saigon Oi and i'm glad my parents did, too.

    Ask the Community - Saigon Oi

    Do they do takeout?

    They do not offer take out.

    Can you make the banh xeo vegetarian?

    Yes we can make it with tofu. Banh xeo is only available Monday-Fridays and we recommend to call ahead to make sure we have the ingredients to make it for you.

    Is the crab soup keto friendly (meaning no sugar, flour, or cornstarch added)?

    I don't think so. It's super thick, like gravy. That tells me they used cornstarch to thicken the soup.

    Hi are there any vegan options?

    I didn't see any on the menu. I would say probably just the sweet potato fries or the regular french fries.

    Hi! Your lemongrass scented bathrooms are amazing! Where'd you get the scent from? Is it essential oil?

    Hi, it is an essential oil that we specially made for the restrooms :)

    I was told by a gentleman at the cash register you don't do take as of 1/02/22. When will takeout be an option ? My family and I do not feel comfortable dining indoors at this time due to trying to avoid COVID and having a baby with us?

    Hi we completely understand your frustration. But Takeout will not be an option. As of right now, We are severely understaffed and can not do take out orders. We hope you understand :(

    Do they take phone orders? We tried calling early to place an order for a lunch to be pick up and there was no answer after several calls. Tried calling again this afternoon and same thing straight to voicemail. Disappointed that we weren't able too

    They don't do take out.

    Do you take reservations?

    Walk ins only at the moment.

    Are you guys open on 12/25 for Christmas?

    Are you open new years?

    Yes

The shelving behind the kiosk has plants, bottles of Veuve and wine strategically placed. There's some nice Vietnam themed artwork throughout. A vibrant, colorful mural is painted on the wall near the entrance and more wall art towards the back. I was impressed to see they even serve Veuve here. That makes for a fun brunch! Our party of five were road tripping home from the weekend and passing through. We always stop at Quan Nem Ninh Hoa for lunch and get the House Special 2 DIY spring rolls with the grilled pork complete with veggies, their special sauce and those crispy sticks. I was also hungry for some Bun Cha Ca (fish soup) which has mackerel, fish cake, tomatoes, pineapple and cabbage. I enjoyed mine with egg noodles. So delicious- even on a hot day! This place can get packed, but they run a tight ship here cranking out the dishes and keeping water glasses full. I look forward to more delicious spring rolls and trying other dishes in the future! I'm glad to see they're thriving in their new fancy space also.

I also like their banh xeo here, very crispy and the right amount of veggies. PRO-TIP YOU NEED TO TRY: Don't sleep on their appetizer menu! Stop by TK Noodles down the street first, grab some chicharrones to-go, and sprinkle them right on top of the Banh Beo here. Total game changer! Try something else besides pho, I love pho but Vietnamese cuisine has many distinct soup dishes when you factor in regional variations, unique broths, and different noodle types. If you look past phở, Vietnamese soups generally fall into a few massive, distinct categories based on how the broth is built and what kind of noodle is used.

The meat was tough, there was barely any tripe, and no tendon at all, which was disappointing for a "combo." I also requested less noodles, but that adjustment was mistakenly given to my husband's bowl instead. Not a huge issue on its own, but it added to the overall experience. 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.

    I'm not sure how long this restaurant has been open but it was our first time here. 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. If I'm craving for seafood, maybe I'll come back to try their seafood options.
