After a few misses on King Street, we decided to give Saigon Roll a try, and we're so glad we did. We ordered the Beef Pho and the pork vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and fried spring rolls. Both were excellent. My vermicelli bowl was the standout--perfectly seasoned grilled pork with just the right amount of spice, fresh vegetables and herbs, crispy spring rolls, and the perfect balance of noodles and toppings. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The pho was just as good, with a rich, comforting broth and tender beef that really hit the spot. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and simple--nothing fancy, just a welcoming place that lets the food shine. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We'll definitely be back. If you're craving fresh, flavorful Vietnamese food in Old Town Alexandria, Saigon Roll is absolutely worth a stop. read more

Service was quick and the server was friendly. There was no wait and I came here around 2:30pm in the afternoon during the week. Food was just 4/5. I had to take off 1 star because although the pho was delicious with flavor and good proportion of meat to noodles, the Vietnamese iced coffee was too sweet and the rolls I ordered to go were just okay to me in regards to taste and flavor. Overall, if you're craving pho, this is your spot but for the other items, I wasn't blown away. The restaurant was clean with a lot of seating. There's a lot of street parking available. read more

I arrived seeking a vegan bun hue, a spicy lemongrass soup. I was told this was not available, but the vegetarian menu nonetheless had some worthwhile selections on it. My lemongrass tofu arrived sizzling in a hot bowl, and possessed an abundance of flavor. It came with a size of aromatic jasmine rice and separate vegetables, some of which I liked and some I did not want, but at least having them separated gave me the ability to choose. My green Thai tea was strongly flavored and something sweet gave me a bigger charge than I anticipated. As I was hungry, adding some rolls was not a bad decision. There is a great vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant in the suburbs, but for anyone who wants to be in downtown Alexandria, this place has some quality to offer. read more

This place is a gem. The beef banh mi? Total showstopper--crispy bread, juicy beef, and flavors that pop with every bite. The pho lineup is just as impressive; my crew tried a few different bowls and not a single drop went to waste. Pro tip: Don't feed the meters. Park a few blocks out, save your cash, and call it your warm-up walk before the feast. Highlights: * Beef banh mi that slaps * Pho with depth and variety * Prime old town spot * Free parking if you're savvy I'll be back--probably sooner than I should admit. read more

Just okay Pork is tasty but on the dry side. The cut makes me wonder if it's actually pork. The rolls were also tasty but not filled much and a little burned on the ends. Okay for a last minute quick Uber Eats order - but I wish I picked a better place to order from. read more

Cute place in old town Alexandria. Perfect for the cold weather. Portions are a little Small, but flavor is good. We didn't get our drinks so just told them to cancel mid way through our meal. Had to ask for things 2, 3 times before getting it. I think they were busy and not expecting the crowd? 7 out of 10 for me. Enjoy. read more

I popped into this Vietnamese spot for a quick lunch outing. It's a smaller spot hidden between the various rows of establishments in old town Alexandria. On the inside there's a few small wooden tables and chairs that populate the fairly plain but clean space, as well as a bar with several seats and a couple of TV's located towards the back of the restaurant. Their menu features the typical Vietnamese fair with appetizers like summer rolls, a variety of protein options for banh mi sandwiches, about 10 different pho options, and rice and protein dish combinations with prices ranging from $10-$20. I decided on the vermicelli dish with grilled pork and the crisp spring roll, and a Thai iced tea. The service was solid and the food came out in a timely manner. The Thai iced tea was really good a little less sweet than I'm accustomed too but I found that to be a positive. As for the vermicelli dish it was excellent: good presentation, the pickled carrots, cucumbers, and bean sprouts were fresh, the spring roll was crunch with a nice combination of ingredients inside, and I found the grilled pork to be flavorful and fairly tender. All in all zero complaints about this experience and I'd highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Really good Vietnamese restaurant option in Old Town Alexandria! If you're seeing a show at the Little Theater of Alexandria, this place is a convenient 6-minute walk away. Lots of pluses - first, the interior decor is pleasant and spacious but also informal and welcoming. Second, the pho here is very good. I tried the Bun Bo Hue which was hearty and infused with pork broth. The only minor blemish was the dessert which took nearly 15 minutes to prepare and was not very satisfying. The restaurant became more crowded on Saturday evening. Overall, I would definitely come here again but will skip the dessert options to save time! read more

Now called, Saigon Rolls...Just re-opened one month+ ago with new owner, manager, cook, and waiter. I've had several solid 4* visits for this quality choice in the heart of Old Town. I've been three times now. I had to try my "usual" with my first time visit post reopening: Grilled Pork Vermicelli and Crispy Spring Roll (Bún Thit Nuong Cha Gio). It was very good both times I had it. Loved the crunch and flavors of the eggroll. I asked for some extra veggies and wow, homerun. I also tried the Banh Mi Pork on a seperate visit. It was really good. Lots of veggies and good flavors with the chicken. Spice hack: If you like a little spicy they are happy to bring jalapeños on the side. So good! Give them a try and let me know what you think! read more

What a gem at Old Town Alexandria! I had the impression that the food was catered towards the local population but no, the taste was authentic and similar to the quality one sees in Eden Center. Location - it is right in the middle of King's Street, parking on the street or nearby garage Decor - restaurant is nicely decorated with some Vietnamese oil paint, it feels spacious and simple Service - fast service, the manager goes around and checks in with guests to make sure they are doing ok Food - a big menu, food does not disappoint, spring rolls and pork wrap are delicious, the pho broth is fresh and the food portion is bigger than expected Will recommend! read more

We ordered to go a couple of times from Saigon Rolls now and we love their food. Their pho is good, but for us, their stand out dishes are their bahn xeo and vermicelli dishes. I love that we've found a Vietnamese restaurant in old town that offers more than pho! (Nothing against pho, I love pho, but sometimes I just want other Vietnamese dishes without needing to go all the way out to Eden Center.) read more

Bomb ahh pho, bomb ahh thai tea, ambiance is really niceee big fan of this place so cool so yum

The wife and I came in on a Saturday for lunch and really enjoyed our Bahn mi sandwiches. We both had the pork ones with spring rolls as an appetizer. The rolls were made in house and very tasty. The sandwiches were also very good and we left satisfied and happy. Try this place out for a quick and tasty lunch. read more

My first time trying Vietnamese food at Saigon Rolls on King Street was amazing. We started with the summer and spring rolls--both were super fresh, bursting with vibrant herbs and served with a delicious dipping sauce. For the main event, we went with the pho with well‑done beef, and also tried the pho with well‑done beef & tendon. The broth was incredibly rich and comforting, deeply flavorful and so satisfying. The beef was tender even though it was well-done, and the addition of tendon brought a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture that I loved--it made for a memorable introduction to pho! The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The dining room is clean, with a cozy, wooden décor and a casual yet polished feel--exactly the kind of welcoming vibe you'd want for a relaxed meal. It's a comfortable spot whether you're popping in for a quick lunch or settling in for a hearty dinner. The service was friendly and knowledgeable--our server helped explain the menu and made us feel right at home. Highlights: Appetizers: Fresh, crisp rolls with balanced flavors Pho: Bold, flavorful broth; tender beef and decadent tendon Ambience: Cozy wooden interiors, clean environment, relaxed vibe Service: Friendly, helpful, and efficient Overall, Saigon Rolls hit it out of the park for my first pho experience. Authentic flavors, a welcoming atmosphere, and great service make it a fantastic pick for Vietnamese cuisine in Old Town Alexandria. Can't wait to go back! read more

Im a little sad because they are closed. I guess they are rebranding maybe but I didn't see a reopening date anywhere. read more

Place recently got "rebranded". They updated their menu with newer items and everything is now 20% or more higher. Pho is one size only and the meat is good but the portions are rather small for the hefty updated price. For these prices they need to be large, not all size are the same. Broth is really good though and not too sweet or heavy on star anise/cinnamon. Do ask for the chilli oil as it does not sit in a jar at your table. I will come back again, but for these prices I will only come back when in a pinch. read more

I'm so happy to have such a wonderful pho place close to where I live! I've ordered takeout from here many times and most recently dined in, about a month ago. Their pho is a generous portion and their broth is so hearty and delicious. They are also generous with their portion of meats in the pho (I usually order the beef pho with several types/cuts of beef, including slices of eye-of-round steak, well-done brisket, well-done flank, soft tendon, and bible tripe. The restaurant is clean, service is always friendly, and they have great non-pho options as well. During my most recent visit (in November), our table ordered the following: -beef pho -summer rolls -beef vermicelli noodle bowl. Everything was delicious! I especially loved those summer rolls and will certainly be back for more! read more

I LOVE this place! It has original Banh Mi with the pate although, I didn't order it; my friend said it was delicious. I was in the mood for Pho and it didn't disappoint! The broth was rich/deeply flavored, very beefy, cleaned/cleared but packed with flavors. I ordered the combination Pho, which didn't include meatball, a bit dispointing. The ice coffee was thick, rich, creamy, well balanced; it was so thick and creamy I thought they used an egg yolk rather than condensed milk. The summer rolls' beef was a bit old but the dipping sauce was amazing, spring rolls were a bit over fried but delicious no dipping sauce needed; however I will definitely go back! read more

After two visits in as many weeks, Saigon Rolls has earned a solid B in my fast-casual Vietnamese gradebook. It's a reliable choice when you want bold, fresh flavors without the wait--especially on a sweltering summer day. (Major props for the ice-cold AC, which made dining in a pleasure.) The spring rolls are a mushroom lover's delight--fresh, flavorful, and wrapped with care. The banh mi also impresses, particularly the lemongrass beef, which is tender, aromatic, and well-marinated. The sandwich strikes a great balance, thanks to its crisp and a vibrant layer of pickled vegetables that cut through the richness perfectly. Service is generally attentive, with plenty of hydration offered throughout the meal. However, a quicker check drop would've wrapped things up more smoothly. The decor is passable but not particularly memorable--more functional than atmospheric--but it suits the fast-casual vibe. Ultimately, Saigon Rolls isn't aiming for upscale, and that's part of its charm. It delivers a flavorful, no-fuss Vietnamese experience that's easy to return to. read more

We had a great experience during lunch. The restaurant is clean with wooden decor. Our server explained the menu to us and gave us recommendations. The servings are large and taste is flavorful and rich. We had the Grilled Pork Summer Rolls, Eye Round Steak Pho, and Grilled Pork Vermicelli. The peanut sauces that came with the Summer Rolls were very unique and the Broth for the Pho was one of the most rich flavors we have tasted. The cilantro and spring onion flavor that comes out of the Broth compliments the soup very well. The Vermicelli Grilled Pork Portions has a lot of meat and vegetables. We will be back! read more

They are supposed to be open from 11-9. I was outside at 11 they were closed, I went to anthropology and came back at 11:07, closed. I walked down the street and came back at 11:13, they were closed and the guy inside at the register waved me away. I called to ask what time they actually open, and was told "probably in another 10 minutes" Who runs a business that way? read more

Used my Uber Eats monthly credit to try the grilled pork banh mi and so glad I did because it's f-ing delicious.

The food has always been consistently great here, however we were surprised by how bad the service was. It began fine but then the young man proceeded to pour my boyfriend water first when I was the one who specifically asked for it. So while he was also out of water, I was the one who needed it at that moment. Secondly, when he brought my boxes I asked for, he proceeded to mansplain to me which containers were for what food item (it was obvious) and then took my cash I used for the bill and didn't give it back to me on his own. He also never asked if I wanted any. I had to ask him for my change. Again, the food here is excellent but this young guy is a bit of a misogynist prick. read more

Food is 10/10 and comes out so quickly! Service is great overall. I hadn't had good pho in years and I'm so glad to find a stable place. I also got the summer rolls which were also very good with the peanut sauce. They didn't have milk tea when I went but I'd love to go back and try. read more

Not a bad place to try, just not my "go to" place. Parking is a challenge with it being street parking in a touristy area but overall the food is not bad. Setting is casual; service was excellent. My wife wanted crispy spring rolls wrapped with romaine lettuce, which most places don't do so we asked for some. The server was very accommodating although it was a different lettuce (no issue given our "ask" and they worked with us). With this she had pho (ok) and I had lemongrass chicken (ok). read more

Overall average experience. Broth was good but the meat was extremely tough and tasted old. Don't think I've ever had meat this tough with pho and I've been to quite a few places. I also thought the size was small for the price compared to other places in the area. Probably would not come back. Service was good though. read more

I was having the rainy day blues and a huge craving for pho. There's something about a hot bowl of pho that just makes the day better. Too bad my experience wasn't as great as I had hoped. The spring rolls (cha gio) and summer rolls (goi cuon) were pretty good! Unfortunately couldn't say the same about the pho. I got the #1, usually the special and comes with a bit of everything. Literally a LITTLE bit of everything lmao. There was a few pieces of meat, a few of the tendons, a few of the tripe, etc. The broth was a bit on the sweeter side than I'm used to. Asked for cafe sữa and got iced coffee, but I didn't complain. It was just a rainy and chilly day outside. Coffee was decently dark enough and not too sweet. Service was okay but honestly, I would not come back solely based on the quality of the pho. read more
