When I was downtown recently, I decided to get lunch here since I hadn't been for a while. I'm glad to say that the food here is still great. Just like I remembered, it wasn't very busy when I walked in. This place mostly seems to do takeout orders, though in my opinion, the restaurant has a pretty nice and classy ambiance. I ordered the grilled grape leaf beef rolls ($12), vermicelli bowl with shrimp & charbroiled pork & spring roll ($16), and fried bananas a la mode ($12). The grape leaf rolls were smaller than I expected, but they were delicious. I liked the lemongrass in the minced beef, and I appreciated the rice noodle salad with veggies. It came with a cup of fish sauce, which I doused the noodles and veggies with. The vermicelli bowl was excellent and filling. It came with plenty of noodles, veggies like bean sprouts & cucumbers & carrots & daikon, chopped peanuts, 2 shrimp, a good portion of charbroiled pork, a chopped up pork spring roll, and a cup of fish sauce on the side. I especially loved the pork. It was flavorful and juicy. And the fried bananas were just as scrumptious as I remembered. Hot, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, sweet. The green tea ice cream was just OK (too icy for me), but the fried bananas were delicious. The service was a tad slow, but I wasn't in a rush, so I didn't mind. The staff was friendly. read more

Another delicious team lunch. The staff does everything right. From the welcome to memorizing orders for a table of 7 and getting it turned out in record time, they are always friendly. Clean and good lighting. read more

I love the Chicken Pho (P5) here. Perfect for those cold nights. The C4 Chicken over Rice dish I had for lunch the next day was wonderful, co-workers were envious when the aroma wafted around the breakroom. Service was efficient. I ate 2 days in a row here. read more

Came here with family recently and had a good experience. It wasn't busy so we were seated immediately but the food still took a while to come. The service was friendly and attentive though, no complaints. The inside was a little outdated for the most famous food street in CLE, but still clean and comfortable. The Vietnamese crepe was decent, tons of bean sprouts inside. I got the chicken vermicelli and it was delicious! Big portion size. Same with the spicy lemongrass soup, very tasty, warm, filling, big portions. Would recommend the soup to anyone. Prices were reasonable. Overall: good Vietnamese spot on busy 4th ave with reasonable prices, big serving sizes, and good food. read more

I was in downtown Cleveland for a conference, found this place because I was looking for an asian food restaurant. I was so surprised and amazed by how good their food is, I didn't have a very high expectation because I have had really good Vietnamese food. But omg this place blew me away, especially their Bún bò Huế(spicy lemongrass soup) and pork egg roll, very nice and original. Not to mention they have really good service too! Highly recommend if you are looking for a good Asian food restaurant in downtown Cleveland. read more

I had the H1, chicken soup which was actually Pho but maybe they called it chicken soup because Americans can't pronounce Pho right ;-) The service was fast, and the food was delicious. I definitely plan on checking this place out again next time in the in the Cleveland Ohio area. The staff was excellent. read more

Lovely and quiet, but quite a few people for a Monday evening. Had the Spring Rolls and beef Pho. Delicious!

Kind, quick service with healthy choices. I had lemongrass stir fry. Delicious change from pizza and fried foods. read more

Never again. No eggplant in my green curry. $7.00 house salad was a rip off. Chicken satay should have two sauces not one, terrible taste

Very fast, very pleasant service with delicious food. If you happen to be wandering past, stop in! It was quiet, calm, and friendly. Most menu items looked like they had vegetarian options (potentially could be made vegan as well?). Great space, great location. Fresh ingredients, light and refreshing options. Cute little bar area as well. We went for dinner after a rain delay at the ballpark and we are so happy we came here. Had the vermicelli and the stir-fried egg noodles, both were great. Highly recommend. read more

Tucked away in the vibrant E 4th street alley of Cleveland, this restaurant came as a delightful find. Its convenient location near Progressive and Rocket Mortgage made it a perfect spot for a bustling evening when both the Cavs and Guards were in action. The service was quick and welcoming, and the seating arrangements were efficient. I opted for the classic Pho and some summer rolls, and they did not disappoint. I would suggest this place if you're looking to try something new after a fun night out in downtown Cleveland. read more

This was quite the first meal to get in Ohio, coming from California. Landing in Ohio, I was craving some food that I'm used to, so I went to find the closest Vietnamese restaurant. Luckily, we were able to get seated right away, and had our orders taken quickly. We ordered the egg rolls, combo pho, and bun thit nuong (vermicelli). The prices were similar to California, but unfortunately, the portioning was really quite small. The egg rolls came with only 2 ??? I had to stop my mouth from opening in shock when they first brought it out. The taste was good though, but definitely not worth to get at that price point. The pho was a bit bland. The bun thit nuong was standard, except for the sizing. It also took them a long time to get me another cup of nuoc mam. I enjoyed sitting outdoors, where the street was busy with people. The weather was great, though there is also indoor seating for those that prefer that! Not sure what the interior is like, but the outdoor seating was lovely. Service was not bad, but I don't think I'll be back just because of the lack of value for the price. read more

The FOOD is is good but not great. I like to grab few appetizers and few main dishes to share and that's what we got. Crispy spring rolls and summer rolls were ok. Charbroiled a primo Bun was lacking flavor. Beef Bun Xao had good smoky flavor and it was my favorite Service was good but they do add 20% gratitude to the bill without any notice. I am not saying that it's too much for great service. But 20% mandatory tip for mediocre service is too much. Our server brought us two rounds of beers, few dishes of food and never made it back to check up on our table. So in my opinion tacking on 20% is RIDICULOUS. read more

Food is lacking. Best thing here was the Vietnamese iced coffee. It didn't not come out traditionally with the silver slow drip piece, but already made and mixed. As another yelper mentioned spring rolls were hard to chew and the sauce was soooo runny. I ordered the lemongrass soup and most of the beef pieces were so fatty. Overall will not be back. read more

Always FRESH!! Very nice people there. Always polite :) Delicious food. You can tell they put their heart & soul into their food It's a hole in a wall but a nice gem in Mount airy. My husband & I go very often read more

This was my first time at this restaurant. I was a part of a big party and I was able to sample different appetizers. The lettuce wraps and the grape leaf that was filled with meat and spices was very tasty. My entree was so salty. I asked about the sauce and was told it was a barbecue type sauce. When it arrived, the sauce was a salty gravy that I had to doctor up to make edible. The staff was mostly attentive but two people returned their dishes and asked to get a replacement. Our server never returned to take their replacement order so they just sat and watched us eat. I might try them again again but only if I am already downtown. I would try another Vietnamese restaurant first. read more

Had a bit of a wait when we first walked in but it's Friday downtown so I wasn't shocked they were catching up from the first rush. Had a couple appetizers, the wonton soup and an entree split between 2 of us and we both left happy and full. Everything was tasty and our server was very attentive. He thought we had an early show and pushed to get all our food out. Once he learned we had plenty of time he was patient but didn't leave us in the lurch. Would go again. read more

I came here for a quick dinner with a friend before we saw another friend of ours perform downtown. Upon arrival, we realized there was a Cavs game because downtown was packed. The restaurant filled up, but service was quick and friendly. The owner and his wife were very active in the dining room, checking up on customers and helping to clear tables and bring out food. My friend and I both ordered the bún vermicelli; a bowl with thin rice noodles, bean sprouts, chopped lettuce, picked carrot/daikon, sliced cucumbers, a sweet house vinaigrette, and your choice of protein/tofu/spring rolls. I ordered mine with the veggie spring rolls, my friend ordered his with the charbroiled pork. I was blown away by how delicious and flavorful this dish was. The portions were big, and although I usually box up a good part of my meal, I finished this in record time. I even ordered the same dish to-go so I could have it the next day. Great service, very affordable, amazing authentic Vietnamese cuisine...I would highly recommend and can't wait to go again to try more of the menu. Oh and they validate parking if you use the E 4th valet service. I paid 50$ cash to park due to the Cavs game. But with my validated ticket, I was refunded 40$ when I picked up my car! read more

I've been to Saigon a couple of times for lunch with coworkers and the food has always been great. I tried a new entree during my most recent visit and it was really tasteful; I had the curry noodles dish with beef. However, I do wish that the dish was a tad bit more spicy. Saigon is a casual place with quick service; the ideal spot for lunch! read more

This is going to be a very bold statement, but this restaurant has my favorite chicken pho in the whole country. Therefore it's one of my favorite restaurants. Quick and friendly service too. A must try in Cleveland!! read more

We go here at least once a month during basketball season. Great food and good service. My husband has lemongrass chicken, yummy!! I have cabbage salad, perfect size to eat before a game! Tofu egg rolls are delicious. I know tofu makes some people cringe, but really good with the sauce. read more

Always a great meal and service. Great place to go before a show or event at Rocket Mortgage Field House.

Wonton Soup and BBQ pork was my favorite. Wontons appear to be freshly made in-house. Chicken lettuce wraps is a nice healthy option. Loved the chili sauce with the shrimp roll. Beef Pho is also my common go to dish. Restaurant was super clean and part of the popular 4th street food district in Downtown Cleveland. Been coming here for over a decade and menu/recipe is still basically the same. Thank you read more

Pretty decent restaurant with nice decor and a fully stocked bar. The place was sparse in a monday night dinner. However, I did notice a constant stream of patrons coming in to pick up their take out orders. We ordered 3 dishes and share as family style dinner, salt and pepper squid, the braised cat fish, and the shrimp w/ veggies sour soup. Overall the food tasted great, although a bit on a saltier side for me. I am pleasantly surprised that the food did taste pretty good and authentic enough, and it's in Cleveland, thousands miles away from the more populated viet communities of SoCal/San Jose/Houston read more

Loved this place! Even though parking is a ***** I really dig this area in CLE as it's surrounded by hip, cool places and very walkable. This spot is right next to Society Lounge. It's spacious and cozy inside. Our server was knowledgeable and efficient. I ordered a Vietnamese crepe dish as an app and was very pleased with the crispiness, presentation and taste of the dish! I held myself back to try something other than pho or bun xao so I got an egg noodle stir fry with shrimp. Welp, I wish I stuck to something familiar because that was a very unimpressive dish. No sauce or any topping to the dish; not to say it was unseasoned because it was plenty salty. The noodles were springy enough but the super thin kind that just isn't chewily satisfying...ya hear? My date got some sort of curry dish that was quite pungent. He liked it so that's good but it wasn't something I'd ever order. read more

Randomly Found this spot on east 4th in Cleveland and I'm very happy to have found it. I I was craving homemade food on a cold night and I got it. The crispy pork rolls were amazing, I dare to say one of the best I've ever had. I also had the Pho, I wish it was a bit more flavorful but overall satisfied me. This bowl could feed two people, to be honest. Service was fast and kind. The place is bigger than expected and had quite a crowd. Definitely should give it a try! read more

Great place. Small but excellent staff. Food is wonderful. We try to go as often as we can.​

As a solo diner, I expect that I won't be served last as bigger tables come in. With less than 15 diners in the full-service restaurant, I don't think it should take 50 minutes to receive my food. When I've been here with my boyfriend, the service has been amazing, and further evidence that solo diners aren't valued. read more
