    Saigon Wings
    Fred W.

    I had a chance to try the Saigon Pho and beef Pho. I was disappointed in the flavor. It was a sweet tasting broth. The bean sprouts, basil, and other accompaniments were fresh. If you like sweet pho, then this will work for you. The Saigon wings were amazing. The service was ok but as the place got busier it was a bit lackluster. The ambiance is not anything special or unusual. The music volume is just right.

    Crab and cream cheese wontons! All homemade and delicious!

    This was one of the best restaurants in downtown Olympia! The food was delicious and the staff was so kind! Beautiful music playing while you eat! So clean and inviting too! You have to try it out!!

    A perfect cold-December-night stop. The fresh, comforting food hit exactly right. The red curry was generous and deeply satisfying--so much so that it easily became tomorrow's lunch. Everything arrived piping hot, just as it should. The staff were quick, friendly, and attentive, keeping our water filled without missing a beat. Warm food, warm service, and a cozy kind of satisfaction that lingers after you leave.

    Panang Curry
    Mary J.

    A very simple restaurant with pretty decor and very yummy and well-priced food. My panang curry was almost shockingly generous: a big bowl full of fresh veggies and tofu and lots of thick, creamy, luscious, spicy coconut sauce for under $20.

    The service was absolutely wonderful. Friendly staff, quick service and amazing food! The fresh spring rolls paired with the peanut sauce were so good. This restaurant was very clean and welcoming.

    Pho and cashew veggie stir fry

    Pros: good food, reasonable price, large dining room with many seats and tables, friendly staff. Cons: street parking can be tricky

    Chicken Pho with veggies
    Nat C.

    Fantastic! I got the chicken pho with added veggies. Hubs got the Saigon Pho (not pictured). And we got the spring rolls. Everything is fragrant, tasty, perfect. Inspired my dear man to wax poetic about his time in Vietnam. He says and I agree, best pho in Olympia Staff were so sweet, friendly, prompt, attentive. We will be back with friends and family!

    Lobby looks pleasant

    I found myself in Olympia with a grumbly tummy. I happened upon Saigon Rendezvous by chance, with a parking spot right in front, so I took that as a sign to satiate my hungry stomach and try a new Thai place. I'm so glad I did. The outside certainly presented itself with a "dive-y" feeling, but I kind of like dives. I find they may not look pretty, but they usually have great food. Upon entry, the place was clean, roomy and plenty of available seating. The bathroom was clean and I always think that is a good sign! The seats, however, were definitely NOT curvy, hippy, big butt girl friendly! In fact, they were down right uncomfortable. So, be forewarned!! IF you have curves, the seats are not friendly. I ended up sitting very forward in the metal chair, because my hips just could not tolerate the pain. Besides that one negative, the rest of the review is positive. Because, the food was delish! I settled on my usual shrimp fresh rolls with peanut sauce and a bowl of chicken pho. The rolls were stuffed with yummy, crispy lettuce, carrots, sprouts, shrimp, cilantro, accompanied by a delicious peanut dipping sauce. Both were really tasty. The pho broth was sublime. So flavorful. The chicken in the soup was plentiful and the bean sprouts, lime and Thai basil were absolutely fresh. This meal made my grumbly tummy happy. The portions were substantial and enough for me to take half home to enjoy for my dinner! Yes! This is definitely a "dive" I plan on coming back to when I find myself in Olympia. The waiter was sweet and attentive. He was also the chef. I am assuming he was the owner as well. Two thumbs up for Saigon Rendezvous!

    Chicken wings
    Aliza B.

    Quiet and cute aesthetic inside. Server was so kind and didn't let us down with a food rec! We tried the chicken wings, garlic honey chicken, and pineapple fried rice (can't forget Thai Tea). Nothing disappointed and left with to-go box because portions were fair sized. I will go back, have to have the wings again!

    Cute little place and the food was very good! The service was good. We will be back to eat here again!

I ordered a Large Beef Pho, that costs almost $20 (includes tax), and requested Meatball, Tendon, and Tripe (per the menu that allows you to select up to 3 cuts of meat). Instead, I was only given 2 cuts: steak and brisket, which was not what I asked for. First and last visit from me since the restaurant can't be bothered to provide correct orders. I rate a pho restaurant on how authentically Vietnamese the food is and how the restaurant appears, being a Viet born from Saigon myself. I still ate the pho because I already paid for it, and it was just average at best. The broth was lukewarm, noodles were too al dente for my preference, and the best part of the pho was probably just the steak. When I visited the restaurant, there were several tables filled... but I noticed there was only maybe one Asian customer.. Typically, if you go to a good Asian restaurant, you'll find customers with similar ethnicity dining in, which hints at the quality and authenticity of the food. Their menu also didn't list a special pho or "pho dac biet" compared to other restaurants I've been to, which usually is a combination of listed ingredients, and my go-to so I can taste a bit of everything. Maybe it's their "Combo w/all cuts" but that doesn't tell me what comes with it. The service was nice enough. I was greeted when I arrived and my order was taken correctly, but somehow made incorrectly. I had high hopes for this place, since it's close to the mall and I like the name of the restaurant. But with my order being made incorrectly and the pho tasting average, I'll pass on coming back here again.

    I really hate to leave bad reviews especially when the service was good. But the bahn mi sandwiches…read morewe got were the worst i've ever had. The pork wasn't grilled, it tasted like it was microwaved, there was no flavor at all, the veggies were limp, there was no jalapeño or anything and no Vietnamese mayo, the only good part was the bread. We ordered three sandwiches, one for each of us and one for our son. We just shared the 1, and gave most of that to our dog. We brought the other 2 home. My son took a bite and couldn't eat any more of it. And he eats everything lol I absolutely hate wasting food and money like this. I was really, really looking forward to a bahn mi sandwich. I'm having oral surgery in a week and won't be able to eat them for a very, very long time, maybe never again. We live in Aberdeen and were in town for a doctor's appointment, and our usual spot is closed on Thursdays. So I found this place on yelp. Huge disappointment. And I'm bummed that I have to leave this review because the service was great. The gentleman at the counter, who took our order and cooked our food was super friendly and nice. And maybe the other food there is good, but if you're looking for a bahn mi, go somewhere else. It was literally the worst we've had.
