Saigon Restaurant - Nice menus - Vietnamese Near Me - Modesto, California

Coming out of SF Supermarket, I wanted something and couldn't decide since it had been so long since I was in Modesto. They seemed extremely busy, especially with DoorDash or some other delivery service. Searching the menu, I didn't see a lot of VietNamese dishes. Many of the items seemed to be Chinese. I wanted some com dia. I ended up with Tofu with Vegetables and Rice. Considering how much I pay for a bowl of rice at a Chinese shop, getting more on the plate with the tofu and vegetables was a decent value. It wasn't tasty enough that I would go back in the same week. It's more of a McDonald's or Subway kind of food where it's reliable. Service was fine for being so busy. I'm not sure anyone had the energy to be really friendly. They were getting the job done. read more

Saigon Restaurant - 91 Tofu with vegetables and rice - Vietnamese Near Me - Modesto, California

Was in the area so decided to try this place. Tried the vermicelli bowl with beef and shrimp, fresh rolls and pho. The amount of meat served with my bowl was a small amount compared to the amount of noodles. The fresh rolls also had a lot of noodles in it. The pho was ok and could've used more flavor. Overall I would say the food was average but there's better Vietnamese food in the area. Service was ok and the restaurant was clean. read more

Love this place! Super affordable. Quick service. Pho and noodle plates are so good! Tucked and hidden in the shopping center, but worth the try. read more

So I'm a regular here at Saigon restaurant whenever I need a pho/ soup fix. This place is located in the Lakes shopping center on Oakdale road and Floyd. I usually come once or twice a month here during lunch. If I had to say what most people order is the pho or other soups besides their rice dishes. Lunch can be busy and there's always people who order for pick up. So today, I ordered the wor won ton noodle soup and a Diet Coke. You have a choice of rice noodle (vermicelli clear noodle) or the egg noodle (yellow, often same used for chow mein). I got the egg noodle and added the bean sprouts and peppers that is given prior to the soup arriving. It also has mint and a lemon but I opt not putting those. I add the plum sauce and sriracha for added flavor. I've been to a few other pho places but this one is close to my office and they know me there. Don't even need a menu and the lady already knows my usual. Now service isn't anything great. They'll take your order but won't chit chat and they aren't one to smile, etc. That's okay with me as long as the food is good and it is. Place is clean. They sometimes have the tv on if you need something to watch. One thing I want people to know is they likely put MSG in their food and their soup. Way I know is that after a meal there, I develop a headache lol. So if you don't want MSG, either ask to not add or avoid going here. For me, it's still my go to place for lunch. read more

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - #9 of Large Pho with rare steak and tendon and #15 of Bun Bo Hue which is a spicy broth with beef and pork. Decent portion with clear pho soup but it was on the sweeter side. The spicy broth was our first time trying things like that and we enjoyed the flavor but it was quite oily. Service: 3/5 - very quick service and to the point so not friendly. First time so we didn't know you just walk up and tell them the table number to pay. Unfortunately, We couldn't tell if they were talking to us or at other workers some of the times. Ambiance: 3/5 - very compact store with sticky tables and condiments. Value for price: 5/5 - just under $15 per dish after tax which seems reasonable for the area and we enjoyed the food. read more

The service is awful. I used to come here all the time and stopped. Went to try to give a shot and played myself. Food was cold. I will never go back read more

This is a solid place if you're in the mood for some pho. I was a bit overwhelmed with the menu, but other yelp reviews really convinced me to try the garlic chicken. The garlic chicken was amazing and next time I come here, I'll definitely be getting it again. The pho was good and so were the spring rolls. read more

Terrible service! Went in sat down the man brought us our menus and after that never came back to take our order or even give us water. Somebody else walked in 15 mins after us and they took his order right away and we sat there waiting and server never came so we go up and left. read more

Best Bahn Mi in town in my opinion. The rolls make the difference. Don't forget to order the spring rolls

This is a small restaurant that gets pretty packed quickly during dinner hours. Lots of parking since it's in a bigger shopping center. The food was very tasty and the portion sizes matched their prices very well. Their ice water is more like tap water so I strongly don't recommend that. I do prefer when restaurants have at least filtered water but that wasn't a big deal. The only reason why I marked them down was solely based on their customer service. Not bad service, but i feel they could have done way better. We were ready to order for a while. we made eye contact and even raised our hand so someone could take our order. Despite doing both, the worker just looked away and continued doing what they were doing. I thought maybe that wasn't that worker's role to take order, but eventually it was the same worker that finally took our order. Again, it wasn't too significant, but we definitely felt that we were ignored a bit. read more

Food is always amazing. Love their Pho and vermicelli and pot stickers. Our favorite place in modesto.

Love their food quality and taste. Prices have been rising lately however as long as they don't keep climbing i will continue to order here. I usually order and take home but there is a small four or five table set up to eat in. The staff is friendly and prep time is fairly quick. I definitely recommend this establishment. read more

Come here regularly for the tasty food and rich broth. They are consistent with their Vietnamese dishes and have a fusion of Asian dishes. Get their #1, #36, or fried rice. Very good stuff you can't go wrong with. They own three stores which is great to have in different parts of Modesto! read more

Food is authentic and delicious! Never disappoint and not super salty. Small and quiet restaurant . Service is quick and fresh warm food cook to order. read more

My experience was good and the shrimp, noodles, chow mien and pork chops were excellent. My only concern was the young man serving us was so ill he had problems breathing. Please be careful when working in a food establishment. Thanks! read more

saigon is usually known for good food but i was extremely shocked when the noodles tasted sour! the flavor was not good, and the texture was just mush. i couldn't even eat it. my drink was the only good part about the meal. i wasted $20 on this meal and it was not worth it at all. :( read more

Saigon Restaurant - shrimp pad thai - Vietnamese Near Me - Modesto, California

I was advised to come here for their pork chop and it didn't disappoint. I got their shredded pork skin and egg roll with rice. Was a bit disappointed there was no boiled pork butt meat with the shredded pork skin. When compared to the broken rice restaurants in SJ or Sactown, it could be more flavorful such as with chicken skin, but for Modesto, this passes. Service was quick but I was the only one in the restaurant. Lots of seating. read more

This place used have good food, great portion and reasonable prices.. Now they have raised the prices and lowered the portion.. There are better Vietnamese restaurants than this.. Heard multiple customers complaining about the portion size.. read more

My parents would take my siblings and I to this restaurant at least twice or thrice a month on Sundays for lunch for as long as I could remember. They've been here for a really long time and even today, their food still always delivers! I like to take my friends here and whenever someone suggests that they're craving Vietnamese, I don't know any restaurant in Modesto that tops Saigon! read more

A local spot that everyone knows. Small interior with seating but a large menu to choose from. food comes out relatively quick and fresh. When you go in, you'll see most orders are to go. read more

I went there hoping to get a sandwich. That's all I wanted. It was pretty packed inside but not too bad. I ask the cashier lady if I can order a sandwich to go. She said "it will take 20 mins. We're busy right now. Too long." She points her finger all around the tables saying we busy it's a long wait. I don't mind waiting but the way she said it was giving - leave don't order. So I left and will never come back here again. Horrible service. They must be rich turning down a customer of 5+ years. read more

This place is good had a mixture of Chinese,Thai and Vietnamese overall they hit all 3 spots pretty well. My goto is chicken pho, crispy noodles my wife likes the pork bahn mi. read more

This is one of those one stop restaurants that you never go back to, and so one should avoid this restaurant at all cost. I could not eat the Won Ton soup. The broth was flavorless but salty, and the dumplings were old and store-bought and not fresh. The noodles were mushy. The restaurant had a bad/stagnant smell inside, which should have been the clue to turn around and run, but I placed the order via phone The spring rolls were not freshly made. The shrimp were slimy and the meat inside was old. I spent $40, which was a waste of money and the food went straight to the trash can. There are no alternate vietnamese restaurants that are even close to being recommended in the area. Got to go to the City or San Jose to get reasonable Vietnamese food. . read more

Food is very good but the customer service or lack of leaves lot to be desired. Attention to the customer is very sad.

It helps that we're just a block away! We love this place. We are regulars here, wherever we want to indulge in a bowl of hot pho, there's no going wrong with Saigon..! read more

Portions aren't huge. Pho is blander than I remember. Spring rolls are great. Service is whatever, not horrible. The menus smell pretty disgusting they need to be cleaned. read more

Not sure if it's under new management but the quality is not the same. They also need to update their menu because the #1 did not even come with all the meats. They might as well make it a vegetarian with the amount of meat in there read more

Saigon Restaurant - #1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Modesto, California

The couple who run this shop appear to be honest and hard working folks. But the furnishings look 10 years overdue for an update. The food is barely passable. It's just not good. I think the kitchen is not well stocked. The menu is too big and ambitious for what they can offer. It's just another Chinese restaurant. I would pay $20 for a legit tofu banh mi on a decent baguette. Sometimes it's best to pursue a different line of work. I'm not sure Saigon should stay open. To the owners I would say: Start over doing something else. Or start over with a new restaurant. It's never to late to follow your dreams! read more

Can you say heavy on the MSGs. Ate there for lunch, had some PHO, and was dying of thirst all day long afterwards. The service was ok. And the place was clean. read more

I've only eaten here once and never will again. Terrible. The manager or man in charge is rude. I walked in and he saw me, looked away, and never acknowledged me. Another lady came in to pickup about 4 minutes after me and he turned on his fakeness for her. "Oh hi, how are you, etc". Customer Service-0 Food-0 I've been to Vietnam and have eaten at a good number of Viet places throughout the country. I ordered vermicelli with grilled tofu. I could have made this myself. When I ordered I asked if there were veggies in it, the woman over the phone said yes. It was just old lettuce, cabbage, and carrots tossed in. I didn't even finish it. Waste of money. read more

Saigon Restaurant - Vermicelli w/ grilled tofu - Vietnamese Near Me - Modesto, California

I love the Bánh mì in this shop authentic Vietnamese food right here in Modesto. If you love sandwiches I recommend trying .

No frills, no gimmicks. Great pho. Straight forward transaction. You give them money, you get a good beef stew. Beautifully simple.

I love Vietnamese food although it clean eating..Fresh and made to take home.my favorite are egg rolls and a rice plate plus pho, I love for summer even throughout the year. read more

I love this place their food is always so good and consistent! I love the ramen chicken noodle bowl and their spring rolls are just exquisite. The service is so-so but I don't mind it. They're staying busy and our food never comes out bad and it's ready within 10 min, so that's always nice we are always in and out of here. It's a tiny quaint little restaurant so it can fill up fast but it's worth it. I think they just know not to bother people when they are eating and I respect it read more

Had to drive all the way back after the wrong dishes spilled all over my car. Not only is the order wrong, they couldn't even package it right. The woman at the counter shouted, "You wrong, not me!!" Used to come here and order 10+ dishes for the family every time I visited town...but I won't be doing that anymore. I guess we should be ordering Chinese from an actual Chinese food restaurant anyway. read more
