Very disappointed! My son and I decided to visit the Oakdale location. Our waiter brought our food (which, in all honesty, looked pretty great). As I normally do at Asian restaurants, I poured what I thought was soy sauce on my rice dish. There were two bottles of dark colored liquid and I assumed them both to be soy sauce; there were no labels suggesting otherwise. I took one bite and found that I had poured a fish flavored liquid on my food. I called the waiter over and politely told him that I had mistaken the liquid for soy sauce. Before I could even ask if he would bring me another dish ,since it was an honest mistake and there was no way I could have known the two bottles contained different sauces- He replied that the liquid was "fish sauce", and, in a blunt and rude tone (without consulting who I assumed to be the owner that was seated in the back of the restaurant) said he would have to charge me half price for the first plate and full price for the second. Had I eaten a considerable portion of the plate (it was litterally one tiny bite) I would have understood why charging me would be necessary. However, it was of no deliberate fault of my own that the plate was now covered in fish sauce. I kindly rejected the offer, and the plate and ended up paying full price for the meal. read more

Saigon Restaurant in Modesto has quickly become one of our favorite spots, and it's easy to see why it's my mom's go-to place for wonton soup. During our recent visit, we tried the flank steak pho, vermicelli pork bowl, and egg rolls, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flank steak pho was incredibly flavorful, with a rich, aromatic broth and tender slices of steak. The fresh herbs and lime added a delightful freshness to the dish. The vermicelli pork bowl was equally impressive, with perfectly grilled pork, fresh vegetables, and a tasty sauce that brought everything together beautifully. The egg rolls were crispy and packed with flavor, making them a great appetizer to start our meal. Overall, Saigon Restaurant offers a fantastic dining experience with its delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. If you're in Modesto and looking for some great Vietnamese cuisine, I highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Charges for sauce- I want to start by saying that the food is delicious and the service is always…read moregreat. I genuinely enjoy dining at your restaurant. One concern I have is the recent charges for sauces on takeout orders. When dining in, sauces are provided at no additional cost, but for takeout there is now a charge for items like chili oil and even extra Sriracha packets. I understand that restaurants have costs to manage, and I'm not trying to be petty or rude. However, charging $1 for two Sriracha packets feels excessive to me. I would encourage you to reconsider these charges, or perhaps only apply them when a customer requests an unusually large amount of sauce. Small requests for condiments seem like a reasonable part of a takeout order, especially for customers who regularly support your business. I appreciate your time and hope you'll consider this feedback from a loyal customer.

My friend ordered the special pho large and I got the number 38 vermicelli with grilled beef and shrimp. The staff were friendly and pleasant. The food came out in a moderate amount of time. The food was fine, but not our favorite flavor profile. My friend really likes pho, so we get pho together fairly regularly. The broth and flavor of this pho wasn't the best and the serving size was on the smaller size for pho even though he got a large. The vermicelli plate was unusually sweet- both the beef and shrimp had a red sauce that was very vivid and unexpected. We both ate our food and enjoyed the meal, but will probably not be back any time soon. If you are in the area and craving pho- this was a decent place, the prices seemed standard, and there were limited food options when we were looking Sunday evening.
