Hau Vinh. I was introduced there is another new Saigon 1 Restaurant, close to Salem High School Tennis Courts where I play twice a week. Last week, I dropped by, and tried to take some food there before playing tennis. It turned out I was very satisfied of everything there! -Service: So gentle, caring and friendly. -Sanitation: Not excellent but good enough to trust in. - Food: Egg rolls, fried chicken and fried rice are great! -Price: Suitable to my small pocket! There are some kind of light food that you can eat for appetizing, even when your stomach is full! The most things I like this restaurant are its simplicity and deliciousness! read more

Wow, I have been here a couple of times and I would give it 10 stars if i could. The food is excellent and some of the best service I've ever had. Nam is a funny guy and makes you feel at home. I would highly recommend this place it's the real deal. read more

DISGUSTING!!! COCKROACH AT OUR BOOTH. I don't usually take the time to write a bad review but after my experience here I was horrified. I wanted to try this place for a while because of the reviews I had read a few months ago and there aren't really any good pho restaurants in town compared to Northern VA. I happened to be in the area and looking to get lunch with my wife and mother in-law . First ones in when they opened and ordered three bowls of pho. Pho came and it was actually really good. I finished mine first and want to use the restroom as my wife and mother in-law was still eating. I went in and turned on the light and the first thing I noticed was a small roach (looked like a german cockroach) scurry across the floor, then another one next to the wall and another one on the toilet. BAD SIGN. Left the restroom and went back to the table, I didn't say anything to my wife and mother in-law because they were still eating and I didn't want to ruin there experience. A minute after sitting back down my wife started freaking out as there was Cockroach a little smaller than a quarter crawling down the wall at our booth toward my mother in-law. Before I even could think to take a picture or video of it I jumped up and squashed it with a napkin. Seriously disgusting. This place definitely has an infestation. This was our first time and definitely our last time here. Sad because the pho was actually pretty good, but I would not trust the sanitation, as an exterminator once told me when you see one roach there are a hundred more hiding nearby, I think the health department needs to pay a visit. read more

I never realized how much I love Pho until my best friend took me many years ago. Living in Japan and Hawaii our go to was always Ramen. Now that we are back on the mainland we actually live right near an amazing spot. This is in the Food Lion stripmall and it's actually near a few other places I'd like to try. It's got booths on both walls and when you walk in you can choose where you want to sit and they bring the menu to you. I stick with the same thing because I'm plain Jane and don't like to deviate from what I like! I get the Thai Tea because it is always delicious and the beef pho. Once I go one more time I'll know the number by heart! My first time I ordered a large because I was a hungry hippo but now I dial it back and get the normal size. It doesn't take long to make and you get a plate with jalapeños, basil, and bean sprouts. It already has cilantro and green onions in it. I don't like spicy so I just do the sprouts and basil. It is so good and flavorful I always finish first. My husband gets the veggie spring rolls and those are good too! Now that I'm writing this review I need to go order a bowl! read more

been to both locations now. they have a great sections even tho the this location is a bit smaller than the one in Newtown rd. but don't let the size trick you. they serve a big menu with awesome Vietnamese food. only place I'll go for Vietnamese food. oh their bubble teas are great. read more

Great authentic food. Such good service. Definitely come here! I had the rice noodle bowl with pork and the crispy spring rolls also with pork. read more

This was my first visit. The staff was very pleasant. I was seated immediately and offered a menu. I ordered the small Pho chicken soup. It was hot, the vegetables fresh and tasty. Reasonably priced. I will be going back! read more

Absolutely love this place! We usually order delivery or carry-out and it's always the Pho Tai Nam with a side of fired wontons (which you wont find on the menu if ordering from grubhub). The only thing we've noticed to be inconsistent is the portions of different items. Sometimes they load us up with meat and veggies and sometimes the meat or veggies seems slightly skimp... other than that though the flavor is ALWAYS on point. We order from here at least every other weekend. read more

I usually go to the Newtown location but my friend mentioned that there was a Saigon that was closer to our area. Came in on a snowy day and soup definitely sounded weather appropriate. Came in with group of 3. I ordered the number 79 which was meat balls and round steak. It didn't take long for our food to be served. The broth was good and service was good. Our server told us they started doing delivery so I thought that was cool. This place is good for on the go pho especially if they deliver. Just keeping it real for the pho lovers! read more

This is my number three go to place if I am craving for pho. First, the inside is okay, nothing special about it. It is clean and appealing. Customer service is ok...its what I expected. Now, the food.....I ordered a large Pho with steak and meatballs. The portion is ok...will definitely fill you up. The broth was clear and very tasty and sweet just the way I like it. I am not a fan of their meatballs though, had an after tasted that didn't agree with me but the steak slices were awesome. I like to have three or four lime drop in my broth, that being said, they gave me a quarter of a slice of a slice of lime, which I requested to have more. All in all, I will definitely return. Oh....and they deliver which is a big plus in my book. read more

Delicious and fairly priced. My husband got the Curry chicken that came with lots of sticky rice and s salad and I got the meatball pho (lots of fresh add ins, basil, jalapeño, bean sprouts, etc.)and a side of pork crispy rolls. Everything was as fresh as can be and delicious! So glad we found this spot! read more

Walked in on a Monday morning shortly right after they opened, there was no one available so I just sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to come out. That took ten minutes. She looked at me and continued doing what she was doing behind the counter and it wasn't until a couple of my friends came in and sat down with me that she finally came over to greet us. We told her we were waiting for more people and she walked away without even asking us if we wanted drinks. More friends showed up and she still didn't come back to ask us for drinks or orders. Finally I just waved her down. Took a while to get our drinks. My friends Thai tea was literally milk and Thai tea powder. It tasted like captain crunch. My other friend ordered a soybean milk and they brought her a tiny can with a cup of ice. That can costs $1 at the grocery store and they were charging $4. Overall service was just terrible and the food was really mediocre. read more

I didn't know this restaurant was here -otherwise I would have probably come earlier as I live a little over a mile away. Very quiet, I could've done with a little music or something. The restaurant is very very clean and the staff was very kind. The food tasted great and came very quickly. I got spring rolls, pho and bubble tea and everything was full of flavor and super fresh. I'm sure I'll be back soon. read more

I had #95 Noodle Soup w/roast port and wonton and the Grilled Lemongrass Chicken and both were super delicious. Had the Bo Luc Lac at the Newtown Rd location that was awesome! It's grilled steak cubes over a salad. This is my new go to spot for Vietnamese! read more

When we are craving some pho, this place is where my family and I go to place to either eat in or grab to go order. It's conveniently located close to our home in a small, modern, clean dine in or take out setting. It's made to be more of a take out, but sometimes when your hungry, you just have to dine in! This is the same owner at Newtown Saigon so you know it's good! We had tried most of the beef pho on the menu (all good, but you can't always have it all at once) so, our usual order consist of #79 (slice round beef and beef meatball), #83 (beef broth with tofu and vegetables), either #115 shredded pork, pork chop, pork cake or #116 grilled pork with rice are equally delicious and a side of spring rolls (both crispy and soft) equally satisfying as you wait to eat the main meal. I do think maybe they need to make or add more of the fried rolls since the soft rolls are a bigger portion, but it's just a suggestion. When you want something delicious warm, and taste like your home cooking or even better. The price is reasonable and the staff are friendly and very humble people. read more

Wow... Talk about lack of service. Went in there 10 min to be recognized. The coik tried to help, but had to call who i guess was the server who was out for delivery as to what ro do. Mean time i went to food lion to get us drinks. Unacceptable. When i have to order from a delivery driver and no napkins. Dont care how good the food is. read more

I have ordered from this place multiple times, ordering over the phone can be a struggle but they seem to get our orders right & on time: annoyed I have to go through some app now to get my orders delivered. Been just picking it up since then. read more

Awesome! and good prices. I loved every bite of meal. Nuoc Cham is one of my favorite sauces ever. Really nice service too :-)

Took my mother in law for lunch. It's a small hole in the wall but it has some of the pho. This is a late post so no pics but it's very hard to stop eating it even when your full. P.S. I am a total foody. read more

Awesome Vietnamese food right by my house! The staff was very friendly and service was quick. The pho was good and you can't go wrong with $3.95 banh mis. I will definitely return. read more

I'm not certain my one-time experience is enough to write an accurate review but so I'll share anyway :D I made my decision to order take out from the other yelp photos posted (thank you!) The lemon grass chicken looked amazing so that's what I ordered along with fried rice and an order of egg rolls. I was told 20mins to pick up (waited an add'l 5 min, understandably) and it was worth the wait because every part of my small meal was satisfying. The "pickled carrots" were interesting. If you like Jersey Mikes "Mikes Way" then you'll probably like the lettuce and carrot garnishment. I will definitely be placing more orders in the future if not dining in. read more

Went here to order take out. I was surprised that they opened a Vietnamese restaurant in this part of town. Not complaining though because the one we go to on holland is about 10 minutes further. Their pork is different, more like ground pork on skewers but it was really tasty!! The couple that runs this place were so nice and sweet. Customer service was on point. Definitely going back. read more

They where pretty good.. Service was great.. I ordered the #11 pho.. It was delicious..

I've never eaten Vietnamese food, so I had no idea what I was ordering. I wound up choosing noodles with shrimp, squid, pork, and fish cakes. It came with a side of clear soup that was unlike any soup I have ever had. Everything had a great amount of flavor and the noodles went well with the broth. There was a lot of what I guess is parsley on my plate. I would have given this place 5 stars if I had gotten more than two shrimp. All in all, I will probably come back to this place again and try some of their other courses. read more

Went here the other night for dinner. It was a cold, rainy evening. The place is kinda small but the food was amazing. I've eaten at just about every pho place in the area and this place is definitely in my top 2. Out server was cool, but not very attentive. It was only me, my wife and daughter in the whole place for dinner and when I needed a refill he was faced at the tv the whole time, that's my only complaint. Definitely making this my new place for pho because it's 1/2 a mile from us! read more

I'm a frequent diner at the Saigon 1 location so I thought is give this place a try. Of course they don't have the full menu there but the owner is willing to add things that the customers would like to see. How I test a Vietnamese restaurant is to order the pho. The pho was excellent and tasted like their other restaurant. If it wasn't out of our way we'd go more often but we will still frequent their other place. Reminds me so much of Saigon read more

This is honestly one of the best Vietnamese restaurants out there. I highly recommend this place as they have great service and even better food. A very classic and traditional restaurant in Vietnamese culture. I got the dried egg noodles today and I didn't regret it for a second. Very, very family friendly, bring you kids, bring your entire family! It is somewhat small, but it is still a great place to eat. And if you don't feel like coming here in person to have some food this place also delivers! When they get there your food will still be nice and warm to feast upon. The staff welcomes everyone with a warm welcome and a kind attitude. The area is also above average, as there are security guards patrolling the area. Trust me, I come here all the time and I always enjoy the food and the atmosphere. read more

This is a nice neighborhood restaurant. The people are friendly and the service was fast. The food is on par with other Vietnamese restaurants in this area as well as the prices. For all fans of this cuisine, check it out. read more

I moved from falls church, where there's lots of authentic Vietnamese food. I've been here twice and very satisfied both times. The owner is super nice, and food is good read more

This place is delicious. The owner is so friendly, happy and giving. His son as well. They never have a mean thing to say. The food is very tasty and cooked perfect every time. We come here often because it is best. We first started eating at the Newton road Resturant. So glad they opened one here. read more

Just went to this place out of a whim I've always been looking for the best authentic Vietnamese food in Hampton roads ( being that it's my native but I hate how long it takes to cook) and this gem was perfect. Definitely located in a strange area hidden in the corner but non the less spectacular food. What I really loved is that it's not Americanized like the pho 79s we find around here it actually has homemade dishes that our parents would make. Super comforting to know there's a place to go to when I'm on the road and wanting home made authentic Vietnamese dishes . Anyone who wants real Vietnamese food needs to come to this place and give it a try you won't be disappointed & so worth the drive ! ( FYI they have a special menu written at the front counter that's not in the menu which it's amazing !) read more

I love Saigon 1 in Newtown Road. But now this place is on Pleasant Valley Rd is closer to home! Yes! Food is just as good and diverse. The shop inside is a cute upbeat atmosphere. I highly suggest to try it out. Yum! =oD read more
