Grilled chicken and shredded pork vermicelli - really really good. Spring roll in it was delicious. Chicken and shrimp pho - really really good. Portions are great for the price read more

If you're looking for a decent bowl of pho away from the GTA, this is it. There aren't many options in Burlington, but it doesn't matter - this place is comparable to the authentic shops. This restaurant is no frills, a quick in and out stop. Doesn't really make for a romantic date night restaurant, but the food is point on. I got a 119 small (pho with rare beef, beef balls and tripe), it came with a plate of bean sprouts (and the standard fare). The soup was flavourful and the noodles perfectly cooked. Even better, the menu stated "no MSG" and nothing tastes overly salty. My meal could have used more meat, but for a small you won't be disappointed. Give this place a try if you're craving warm soupy noodles. read more

Saigon On Brant Restaurant - Pho with rare beef, tripe and beef balls at Saigon on Brant - Vietnamese Near Me - Burlington, Ontario

A regular stop for a home cooked Vietnamese meal, covid or no covid. mild: Fresh rolls, Soy fried tofu with egg noodles, vegitable rice noodle soup. Spicy: tom yum chicken, Satay chicken noodles Adventurous: Singapore noodles, pad thai Owners are friendly if you are up for a chat and its not too too busy. We eat in it is very much like a Toronto spot; however, the take out is great. read more

Quite good food. Spring roll was so-so. The restaurant was quite cold and the food was lukewarm. The tea was also lukewarm. The service was extremely slow compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. It seemed that there was only one person serving, so it took at least ten minutes for him to actually come and get our order slip. Then we waited at least 15-20 minutes for the food to arrive. read more

It's hard to find good pho out in the suburbs, but Saigon came highly recommended, so I decided to give it a try. On first appearance I noticed the restaurant was very clean. The staff welcomed us with a smile and took the time to explain different things on the menu as I was new to pho. I ordered the small chicken. I can't imagine what the large would look like! The portions are huge and it was delicious. The broth was flavourful and the chicken was tender. I will definitely be returning to try different types of pho! read more

Just got back from Vietnam and had to find a place and Saigon is awesome!! Very comparable to the real thing, I do not have one single complaint. The pho is great! On the other hand... the son here is a total asshole. Rude everytime I come here and has provided me shit service. He's very disrespectful. 3 stars for food. read more

Saigon On Brant Restaurant - #109 Hot & Sour Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Burlington, Ontario

See all

I first came here on June 26th & I went back on Canada Day & I'm pretty sure that's the last time I will visit. Their pho was very tasteless and bland - they didn't have that authentic taste, the one where you know the broth has been boiled with the ingredients for a very long time. If you've ever tried wonton soup - it was pretty much that with the flavour of beef that was cooking in the broth. The noodles were soggy and broken. My boyfriend got the beef, chicken, and pork chop. His beef was very dry and the sprinkling of flavour was more like an afterthought - applied to it after being cooked. The spring rolls tasted pre-prepared; like it came out of a frozen bag. The total of spring rolls, medium pho, and rice came to $30. ]: read more

We really really enjoy the Vietnamese version of Pad Thai, do not expect the sweet Thai version, this dish is spicy!! The stir fried bok choy is a perfect complement to neutralize the spice. Vegetarian pho lovers try C9. Place is always busy and many take outs. read more

Saigon On Brant Restaurant - Best Vietnamese Pad Thai ever! - Vietnamese Near Me - Burlington, Ontario

I've only eaten at 2 Pho restaurants thus far in Burlington, and I can tell you this will not be one of the two I ever plan to re-visit. I ended up ordering curry chicken on rice and even though it's going to sound condescending, it was the worst ever. The dish was very gloopy and just lacked proper flavor that I've had at other Pho restaurants with the same dish. Such a simple dish should have not been difficult to create. The hot sauce was also subpar and didn't do the job for me. Even having something like sriracha would have been fine. If you can't make it out of the city and crave some proper Pho (soup or meat dishes), then head to another location in my opinion. read more

The absolute best pho in the world! Clean. Fresh. Full of flavour and always delicious. The fresh rolls are amazing too. Order 126 with extra veg! You won't be disappointed! read more

Great food at a fair price. I started going here a cpl years ago and I haven't been able to stop! I highly recommend the "Satay Chicken" it is #109 on their menu and a great starter that pairs well with this pho is the "pork spring rolls" #A02 on their menu. The service is great even though the son is a little estranged. The father knows how to make a great pho so always know that you are in good hands when that man is working the stove in his kitchen! Enjoy your blends folks and always remember... don't ask, just pour! read more

This place is OK. Just OK but definitely a reasonable choice for some pho in Burlington. I've tried the pho and the shrimp fresh rolls. Neither are mind blowing but they're tasty and they'll satisfy your Vietnamese craving. The family that owns the place are really great and they definitely add to the pleasant experience. read more

overpriced, but what do you expect in burlington i guess. servings were also not that big... at least i can say they are authentic vietnamese people running it. read more

Saigon On Brant Restaurant - the interior of the restaurant - Vietnamese Near Me - Burlington, Ontario

A friend recently recommended Saigon on Brant and I liked it so much I had to call and thank him. It's excellent, authentic, Vietnamese food with a menu that is soup heavy but has plenty for non-soup lovers as well. My wife and I have been twice in the past week. She ordered the seafood tom-yum soup both times, I got a pad-thai the first time and a shrimp with lemongrass and vermicelli the second time. The diners at the next table were raving to us about the vegetarian options as well. The server (same guy both times I went) is very knowledgeable about the menu and is great at making recommendations to help people find something they'll like. I got to chatting with him about the menu and food in general. He went to chef school and prides himself on making everything from scratch. Portions are generous, prices are low, food is great. The only potential downside is the somewhat dated interior. If you're looking to superficially impress someone on a first date, you may want to go elsewhere. But if you want to truly impress them by showing them you know where to get great food, take them to Saigon on Brant. read more

I eat here very often. The interior is very Vietnamese Kitsch but clean. The older man who is the owner is very pleasant buy his son not so much. The food however is great and the closest to true Vietnamese cuisine you can get out of Saigon. Sure there are a few menu items that are there, I believe, to please the masses. Like Phad Thai. Also the have listed on their menu a couple of duck items but they never have duck. If you want good Pho or a little taste of Vietnam I highly recommend it. Prices are pretty reasonable and if you're ordering take out they offer you a little pot of nice, hot Vietnamese tea while you wait. I always return and never am disappointed! read more

There is not many choices in Burlington, but I will definitely not going back after tried a few times there! The setting is okay and the price is reasonable. But feel dirty a bit overall. The service is awful! He would not even look at you or smile, and he is always busy with other orders. The soup was average. Last time I ordered a house special (S) and another M for my friend, the raw meat was BAD! And I refused to eat...unfortunately my friend added spicy sauce so he did not taste anything and finished the soup. Well, the result was he had to rush to bathroom!!! I am always a vietnamese soup lover, but not this restaurant any more! read more

Myself and my Husband tried this restaurant for lunch today.The 3 stars are for the authentic vietnamese food they served. The owner was nice to us and the service is good (1 star). The ambience definitely needs a do over. The use of an air freshener or incense would also be highly recommended. read more

I really wanted to give them a higher rating but I just cannot. The pho soup was so salty and wasn't even hot. The rare beef was chewy. Everything in there felt sticky. I honestly have never been to a restaurant and come out feeling dirty. I'm shocked because it's in a nice location. Only reason I gave a 1 star is because the service was fairly good and spring rolls were authentic but just small. I will not go back. read more

Good spot - happy crowd, cheerful service. Definite recomendation.

Finally!! Found the place to go to for pho in burlington...this place is truly "pho real". As we just moved from Toronto with their abundance of pho places, I can say that this place is in my top 5. Fresh and delicate broth with just the right amount of spices. Check it out yourself! Cheers. read more

Best pho anywhere!!! Always reliable and always the same!!! I always get 126 w extra veg and they do an amazing job putting it together!!! Thanks guys for being the best pho!! I'll always be ready for Pho! read more

It was great because I saw lots of vegetarian options, you don't usually see that often at Vietnamese restaurants. I had the hot and sour rice noodle dish with tofu. The man was nice enough to make it vegan for me. It was quite sour, not that spicy, the flavour was strong. I"d rate the dish about a 7/10, pretty good for the price. The man serving is very quiet and doesn't come to the table much or asks how we like the food. This is your affordable, decent, fill you up type of restaurant. It's good, but don't expect anything outstanding or exceptional. read more

I had worst Pad-Thai of my life, and I am trying to be fair with this review and not 1-star it. It was very salty, and i didn't taste any sweetness or peanut - which is pretty much in every other Pad Thai I've eaten anywhere, including in TV dinners. I brought this to the owner's attention and he was accommodating, but also tried to convince me that this IS how Pad Thai is supposed to taste, and "everyone" that eats it thinks it tastes great. He DID compensate us for the meal, and apologized. Being in the restaurant business is about making people love the way your food tastes. I should mention that I'm normally someone that hates having someone make a big plate of food for me, and then complaining that it wasn't up-to-standard. I often worry too much about the restaurant owner's bottom-line. But what I've learned from this experience is if you order something off the menu, and they deliver something that you totally did not expect, that's a little false advertising. The manager DID, however, take it off our bill after I ordered something else. The guy behind me also coincidentally complained about the consistency of his food (idk what he was eating), but said there were chunks of fat, and manager responded "Oh no, that's flour", though the guy insisted he's never had his food like that before, either. I'm willing to take down this review if there is any indication that the restaurant is willing to change how they cook. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants of all time, hands down. They have a vegetarian broth for pho that they simmer for thirteen hours to match the same flavour as the meat version - it's incredible. The owners are also really great. They're able to tell me if something has gluten in it and always have the best hot sauce and peppers if you're a spice fanatic. read more

I LOVE Saigon on Brant!!! The Pho is sooo good! I drive from north oakville to get take out regularly! So fresh, flavourful and beautifully packed with love and care. Hand down a fav place and so reasonable! read more

I ate here once a few weeks ago and my friend found a hair in his soup. I decided to try it again as the food was decent. Ordered it last night for delivery and my food had TWO pieces of hair in it, when I called to complain they told me "it is not our responsibility once the food leaves the restaurant" THEY DELIVERED IT, how is it not their responsibility? Never going back, disgusting & rude. I wouldn't recommend anyone eat here. read more

Terrible service and generally subpar Vietnamese food. I guess when you are pretty much the only game in town you can coast on mediocrity? I am definitely spoiled living in Toronto but was really hoping for a good pho in Burlington as I am here often. Unfortunately the food was bland and definitely overpriced. MEH! read more

Used to be a regular customer a few years back when the old man was running the show. The food is still ok but the son running the front of house is miserable and snippy. Won't be going here or recommending this place to anyone any longer. Too bad cuz it WAS a nice place to relax and eat in Burlington, but definitely needs some inspiration. read more

Had the chicken Pho, not great but passable for suburban GTA. Price is right as well.

Amazing Asian food, they have a separate veg menu, so be sure to tell them you want or are vegetarian/vegan. Family owned and quite authentic! I saw a sign that offers durian flavoured smoothies, have not tried it but hey I might be feeling adventures next time. read more

its ok. food was decent but mot special and i like that i could add extra meat to ky pho. price was hood but not my favorite pho and the place looks like hell. not just dated but crowded with stuff in a manner that makes me question cleanliness. read more

Food is always very good quality. Very disappointed that there is now an extra charge for using credit card. Mentioned this to friends who go there frequently, not sure if we'll go back again read more
