I was pleasantly surprised by this place! It is a hidden gem! After growing up near Little Saigon, Westminster, CA, I can proudly say that I have experienced pretty authentic Vietnamese food outside Vietnam. This place was amazing! We tried a bowl of pho with steak and tendon, which was flavorful without being too salty. I wish it had more meat in it, but I had enough food on the table, so I cannot complain about it too much. Their fried rice is oh-so-delicioso. I love Vietnamese style fried rice over any other kind like chinese, korean, etc. It's got that unami flavor that makes you want it nonstop.. there was plenty of carrot bits, chunks of fried egg, and a handful of shrimp in it. The price was about 7.50ish? Not bad at all! And we got an order of egg rolls as our appetizer... Yum! So good :) it was perfectly fried with some yummy fillings inside of it! Its fish sauce based dipping sauce was yummy as well. We will definitely be back to fix our cravings every so often :) read more

There's really not many pho places in Vacaville or Fairfield, but Saigon Pho is my favorite one of them all. It's a small, dainty restaurant that's very well maintained. They keep the interior clean and the bathroom is pleasant. The service is friendly (and that's saying a lot for Vietnamese places because let's be real, we're rude as hell sometimes). Our server always remembers our orders and she's the perfect amount of attentive. I've gotten a few different appetizers here like the potstickers, chicken wings, and eggrolls. They're all delicious. They have decent pho, both beef and chicken. I find myself ordering their pork chop rice plates a lot because most days, it's really flavorful. Sometimes, they're a little heavy handed on the seasoning, but I'm not one to complain about that. I love their Vietnamese coffee and coconut shakes (with pearls!). There was this time where my drink was literally sugar water, but the other 10 experiences have been kind to me so it wouldn't deter me from reordering. I would recommend this place if you're in the area. Or perhaps for newcomers who have never had the opportunity to try these amazing Vietnamese dish. read more

Really good pho! Broth is very delicious and full of flavor! I got the #1 large with no tripe and it was so good.

Driving back from South Lake Tahoe, we encountered traffic as usual by Vacaville outlet. Decided to get some Pho,. My wife ordered #P13 and R5. It's a hit! The soup is flavorful and delicious. Also ordered Taro Smoothie for the drive back. read more

I recently moved to Vacaville and found this place. Thank god I found a good pho place! They're friendly and fast.

Great service. Food comes out fast and the pho is tasty. Boba drinks are pretty good. Ordered one Mango and one Lychee and they were delicious. Explains the good flow of customers coming through even at 2pm on a Monday! They take credit cards. Give it a try! read more

Normally I would give this place a 4 or 5 star review but this most recent time I went I left with an upset stomach and confusion. I ordered my standard chicken pho (pho ga) size small and when I drank my broth, before adding anything, it tasted like straight up fish sauce. Confusion, but maybe it was the spoon. I move on to eat it and the more I ate, the worse I felt about the food. I've eaten here about 5 times now and never had any issues. This recent time is making me consider finding another local pho place because it wasn't worth an upset stomach that lasted about 3 days. Overall, except for this recent experience it's a fairly standard pho place with only two sizes. Much better than Pho King in Davis but the location by Country Square Market is better I think, that will be my new regular now. read more

Not much to say about the Bahn Mi's here. Hardly enough meat to cover the 8 inch baguettes. The pictures are misleading online and I should have taken more angles to show the lack of substance compared to the baguette size to share with everyone. The baguettes were fresh and tasted good but were far too big for what filling they put in it. Literally you could taste the bread and cilantro. Thank god I love both of those. I guess you get what you pay for at $4.75 and $5.25. I would rather have had a smaller baguette for the same price or a higher price with more meat and pickled veggies. The lack of flavor and meat was super disappointing. I had to dress my combination sandwich with soy sauce and sriracha for an added umami flavor. Iced Vietnamese coffee was pretty good though. So here is where this place completely lost me. The lady who took our order brings a tray of stuff out to the table behind us in the back of the restaurant and starts making egg rolls. She handles her phone and starts a Vietnamese soap opera on full volume... so annoying! FYI-I'm Vietnamese and bilingual and it would have been annoying in any language. So recap: She has now handled her phone and is making egg rolls (I'm assuming she is making it for the restaurant) with no gloves. I then watched her get up grab menu's and seat customers only to sit right back down and make egg rolls (again, I'm assuming for the restaurant patrons)with NO hand washing and NO Gloves. Things that make you go hmmmm Now I'm done... time to settle up and leave. This place was a big fail for Bahn Mi's and for handwashing practices. read more

The wife and I normally frequent a different pho location, but decided to try Saigon Pho. Located in Vacaville in a small shopping plaza. The restaurant is small and clean. The staff are friendly, and they interact with their customers through out their meals. Compared to other pho locations we've been to, the menu choices at Saigon Pho was smaller. Bit this is not indicative of the food taste and quality. Although there were less choices than other pho locations, the food here is good. The only disappointment we had was the fried shrimp spring rolls. It was basically shrimp by itself wrapped and fried. Safe to say, we'll probably try something else for an appetizer the next time we come here. Our pho was delicious, and I was happy that the broth was not oily like some other places. I have a feeling we'll be coming back here. We have other go-to pho locations, and we will be adding Saigon Pho to that list. read more

Just enjoyed a large pho no. 1 combination, and am very pleased with the quality, and flavor.

I got the combo bahn mi (made with chicken, pork, and beer) which was excellent. The bread was a great consistency of crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. All the veggies inside were delicious. Plenty filling and a good price of less than $6. The Thai ice tea with boba was a nice add on as well for a hot summer day! Look forward to returning and trying other items. read more

Food wasn't bad, but it's not as good as the other Viet restaurants in the area. Waiter /counter guy seemed to be bothered while waiting on us. Food was good. No complaints. There is better, though, less than a mile away. You'd think this place would try a bit harder with competition that close. When I got up for the bathroom, i noticed something odd on the counter of a noodle shop. An instant noodle cup. Why would employees choose cup o noodle over restaurant noodles? Not sure, but I won't be back to find out. read more

Ordered ice coffee with pork spring rolls. The spring rolls were flavorless and the peanut sauce tasted like I was dipping the roll into straight peanut butter. And the ice coffee in the to-go cup was only filled 3/4 of the way to the top. When I asked about it he said it's not to the top because it's "more stronger coffee" I mean ok I guess? The guy whom I paid wasn't too friendly. No "hi" or "thank you". Overall, I've had tastier Vietnamese food with better service. Ty :) read more

After a long Christmas shopping day at the outlet mall my boyfriend and I were both starving and broke. Saigon Pho is close driving distance and fit the bill for the chilly afternoon. We shared the beef pho which had skirt steak and a ba minh sandwich with pork. The food came really quickly and we dived in. The pho was very flavorful and we enjoyed adding the spicy sauce, bean sprouts and basil. It was delicious and a large bowl was easy to share between two people. The sandwich was massive and I can't believe it was only 5 dollars! We gulped it up and both loved it. The large sandwich was also easy to share between two people. We were able to get a phenomenal lunch for 13 dollars. I was shocked and am eager to come again in the future. read more

We love this place! The owners are a delight family owned. Great service excellent food

Atmosphere was ok we took a chance going in. We ordered the Pho and was surprisingly impressed. After the meal I ordered the Vietnamese coffee. WOW!!!!! Starbucks has got nothing on them. To further my punishment I ordered the pork sandwich for later. Again blew me away. $4.50 the sandwich was sweet savory and spicy. What a great first time experience read more

"Okay, who's the jerk that came to this party & gave me the Ho Chi Minh Sh*ts?... Menu item, V13 - Bun bo hue." (I've got my eye on you, bastard!) Bun Bo Hue ($7.95) - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/saigon-pho-vacaville?select=EeKHCpws1oUHbM1uRHC3Ig It was a brisk, chilly day... A stark contrast to the weather just a couple of months ago with the sweltering temperatures. I was in the mood for soup and have been meaning to try Saigon Pho's bun bo hue... (Insert buzzer sound) WRONG ANSWER! *Sigh I should've stuck with the pho or banh mi. The bun bo hue had good flavor but there was something in the soup that must've been bad, the proof is in the "pot." ('Not to mention the splatter art along the rim.) Bun bo hue - FAIL. I also had an order of spring rolls ($3.50), which could also possibly be the culprit of my aftermath but my money's on the former, "BOOM bo hue." I like to use the term I came up with a couple of years ago, "Crap'nel." (i.e. - Explosive diarrhea and/or listening to someone that's full o' shit yammer on.) The spring rolls are atypical that you can find at most Vietnamese restaurants, 2 shrimps per roll, cut in half to look as if you have four whole pieces... They were okay. Spring rolls (Photo) - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/saigon-pho-vacaville?select=1cdS8JHjcid1VfOmFbAQ6A Cafe Sua Da ($3.50) - Premade?... 'Since when AND more importantly, why? (Sigh) One of the things that separated Saigon Pho from the rest of the McCafé Sua Da crowd was the authentic way it is prepared and made. If you're going to do it, do it right and not take short cuts otherwise you're just like everyone else... 'Disappointing. FAIL.

Terrible sandwich. I don't recommend getting them. This is our first visit and we got the chicken and combo sandwiches. The meat they gave was very little. I got maybe 6 small strips of chickens. Very disappointing. Then they didn't or barely added the pâtè spread on the sandwich. Another disappointment.I guess it will be my fist and last. read more

As a Vietnamese person, I understand the menu and food better than most other "critics." The menu is simple, and very customizable. A pho restaurant does not need to lay out every combination of pho, it's unnecessary. I like the fact that you can pick and choose rather than ordering strictly off the menu. The dishes they serve are the most traditional and popular of the Vietnamese cuisine. The food is legit, home cooking. Plus, they're still in their experimental stage. They're seeing what's popular, and adding new items to their menu. They've added a Seafood Pho and are in the process of adding new vegetarian dishes. The recipe for the pho is better than any other pho place outside of Sacramento and SJ. The pho restaurant down the street from Saigon Pho uses too much MSG (personally, I try to avoid as best I can). MSG is used to enhance flavor, so you must use MSG in pho. The flavoring is perfect, not too enhanced, and not too watery. This broth is the closest I've come to my grandmothers home cooking in Solano County. The staff- the staff is new, and has cut down since the opening I've noticed. They are very friendly and helpful. I can see that their goal is to always please the customer. In almost every pho place you'll see the owners in the front which I don't like. But at Saigon Pho, the owners actually speak English quite well. My friends sometimes have a difficult time communication with their waitresses and the owners at other pho restaurants, but there was no "language barrier" when asking questions. I like that Saigon Pho is very traditional, but also incorporates American culture into their restaurant. The music selection they play is Light Rock and Pop. Personally, I do not enjoy Vietnamese music- at all. I do not want to listen to the radio when I eat either. I enjoy the music selection, it's appropriate and enjoyable. Nothing too bad. Did anyone say Monday night football?! They keep a schedule of our home teams and have sports on the big screen every night. Sanitation- I don't know about you, but I'm very questionable of Vietnamese (and Chinese) restaurants. I can see that this place stresses sanitation. It is a lot more high class than other Vietnamese restaurants, and a lot cleaner for that matter. I noticed the waitress washing her hands after switching between every task. The man from the kitchen was also wearing gloves which is uncommon in Vietnamese restaurants. All in all, this place is great if you enjoy authentic Vietnamese food. read more
