Nice place. While passing through DC we got our usual Phò craving. Its become a new adventure just finding a place in each city I visit that has a vegan veggie broth on their menu. So you'll probably see my constant raves about vegan Phò lol. So now..the parking..if your not familiar with the area like myself I hope this helps. It seemed like everywhere we stopped in DC was metered parking. There is a parking area of the shopping center just behind the restaurant. Wren you park the meter sences your arrival and the meter begins to run a 1 hr time for free parking. It's $2 power hour after that so we added 30 minutes to the free hour for $0.50. We came in about an hour before closing. Not too busy. The bar area was clear just a few booths were taken. Really nicely decorated open space. Clean bathrooms. Very inviting. Quiet. Fast service. I had my laptop and asked for their wifi and they said they don't give it lol. Umm ok I don't rate based on wifi so all 5 stars from me however I imagine in a busy business city it just seemed strange. I just used my Hotspot so not a biggie again.. just a bit strange.. We only ordered the vegan Phò and it was delicious!《《 Mainly why I rate it 5 . It was so good we devoured it before I realized i didn't get a picture. So no pic but please believe me when I say yoi need to try their veggie pho! They offer small and large option with only a $2 difference. We opted for large . Veggie broth was very rich and flavorful. It was packed with veggies and noodles. They were a bit light on the tofu serving though. I'm from Georgia and Phò is usually like $12-13 at the most at my spots so paying $14.50 was a good surprice in comparison to other DC places we visited that were $$. read more

One of the few Vietnamese restaurants that took reservations and served alcohol. Wine prices very reasonable. All the food the four of us had was delicious. The places was not too noisy and the Tv's were muted. read more

We ordered the pho to go and three bites into eating the food, I noticed a bright bug floating around the broth. My husband and I split the large and immediately threw the entire bowl away after this finding. Extremely disappointed with the cleanliness/preparation/food safety. Additionally, we paid $20 for a "large" and it is about the size of a small. read more

This spot is so good. The pho is great. We also love the pork and rice entree. Yummy food.

Never disappointed. Great service and great food. Pho, ramen and sushi depending on your mood. The location makes the atmosphere that much better. read more

We ordered "Saigon steak in sizzling pot", 21 dollars. Got a bowl of mostly fries and rice. There are less than 10 tiny beef cubes hidden in the fries that we had to look for. There was also a sad amount of bell pepper and onion. Ridiculous and way overpriced. Service is also pretty bad. Not ever going back again. read more

Saigon Saigon - Saigon Steak in Sizzling Pot - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The people are incredibly slow, rude, and dismissive. I felt rushed and mistreated. I wasn't given a menu, told to order, was given the menu-and the server took forever to come back. I requested ice but she never returned with the ice. I was served food and asked to leave shortly thereafter because they were closed. I was offered a container of my food. I told my server that a gentleman asked me to leave. She insisted that this wasn't the case. I point to the gentleman and he admitted that he had asked me to leave. She handed me the bag and walked away. Not even an apology for the rudeness. My thoughts? Recommend carry out as the only option if you are going to behave in such a disrespectful manner. This is an all time first experience being treated like this in any restaurant. I'll never return. Never again. There are so many ways to handle situations like this. One way is to simply say, "we will be closing at 10pm-will this be enough time or would you prefer carry out"? Disgusted that I spent $30 looking for Saigon. PS. The food wasn't really good and wish I had stayed in the Eden area. The Pho had very little flavor and hardly any beef. The spring rolls were over cooked. read more

My girlfriend has been a vegetarian for almost eight years. That was all changed when Saigon Saigon served us pork spring rolls. I am very disappointed with their service - the same (mis)management from Asian Zen Bistro. We ordered vegetarian spring rolls only to bite into the roll and taste pork. Wow! And we didn't even receive an apology from our waiter. He simply took the dish away without saying a word to us. I am shocked by their callous negligence and will not be returning. How can you make such a mistake and have no concern? Their tofu veggie pad noodles and small pho come in large portions with plenty of fresh vegetables, bean sprouts, lime, and peanuts. They also brought out hoisin and Thai chili sauce. Do not patron Saigon Saigon. Take your money elsewhere. read more

A decent meal! I was pleasantly surprised by the bouncy texture of their vermicelli. The menu claims the noodles are always are fresh and I believe it. As for pricing, the restaurant is in a nice location and the prices show it. So if you live in the area, do stop by, but I'd you live farther way in more suburban VA, there are probably cheaper places near you that are about the same quality. read more

To be honest I definitely have slight bias towards Saigon Saigon. It's so easy to walk over and get food for a quick dinner pickup! I've tried their pad Thai with chicken and fried rice with shrimp. Overall it was good food, I definitely preferred the fried rice over the pad Thai, but that was personal preference. Going forward I'll probably order my dishes vegetarian by adding tofu or no protein, just because I didn't feel their protein was seasoned too well. I've had Thaiphoon which is located less than a block away and owned by the same owners and Saigon Saigon is definitely better in my opinion. I can't speak for the dining in experience, but ordering online is very easy. It was ready for pickup in about 15 minutes and was very easy to grab and head out since the payment was taken care of online. read more

The outside sign with the Happy hour specials caught my attention while I was shopping near by. I decided to go in and at least get a mojito and try a food item before heading back home. This place is location a few feet from the DSW at the Pentagon City metro stop on the yellow and blue line. It is very metro accessible and there's garage or and street parking nearby. I thought the specials were okay with different drink options. My mojito was good and the Thai chicken I ordered was okay. I would go back and try another item on their menu. The people around ordered huge sushi platters and a lot of stuff that looked great but I do not eat seafood. The staff was quick to make my drink and bring my food. I came towards the end of happy hour but it wasn't crowded. The decor was nice and the place was spacious enough for you to enough your meal whether the bar or table w/o feeling too close to the table near you. It's a great spot to hang with friends or a casual date. read more

-1. The menu is entirely in English (no Vietnamese translations). Asked waiter if they serve Bun Cha - wasn't sure if it's there but I wasn't recognizing how it might be described on the menu - and he had no idea what I was talking about. -2. Although available WiFi networks on my phone show two named Saigon (and Saigon Guest) they waiter indicated they did not provide the password for it. -3 although the food was tasty, it was bland by Vietnamese standards and there are no condiments (chili oil, crushed garlic, etc) on the table- not sure if available upon request. That said, very neat and tidy restaurant at a nice location. read more

Rating based on a delivery order. I was craving pho so I ordered it on Ubereats. They give generous portions of meat and noodles. The broth was okay but not the best. I like mine a little more pungent. Everything was packaged fine. I found that a lot of the herbs were wilted and therefore could not enjoy them. I also ordered the shumai. They were teeny tiny for being $7. read more

This was a pretty good dinner for typical prices. We had gotten an appetizer of Shumai dumplings- which I felt were quite dry so it was a bit disappointing - it wasn't your typical dim sum shumai which is what I was expecting (so maybe I was expecting wrong). My friend ordered pho while I ordered the Saigon Pad Noodles - which is legit Pad Thai (I appreciate the original names, but also, I was actually expecting a Vietnamese take on it). My friend thought the pho wasn't the best - although he IS Vietnamese so maybe he is harsher than most. I think the other food options sounded really interesting and promising so I will give it another try. read more

Saigon Saigon - Saigon Pad Noodles - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Roaches! Went to Saigon Saigon on 11/16 with friends. Once our food was served, friend noticed a roach crawling out from UNDER the condiment tray. Yuck! Friend killed the roach,and the wait staff just shrugged it off, like it was a normal occurrence. Wait service was terrible. Food was horrible. The iced coffee is premade from powder and tasted awful. Beef Noodle soup was tasteless and hardly had any noodles. I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant. None of us could finish our food. read more

Saigon Saigon was a great place to grab some lunch! Caught up with a friend here around midday and it was great! Ordered the vermicelli noodles with lemongrass chicken sautéed with onion and scallion and the purple dream drink, which was a taro milk tea with boba. To start off, there is not much parking on the street outside, so I had to pay for parking underneath the restaurant/shopping center. Not that this is the restaurants fault, but it will affect my future transport decisions. The restaurant is a small-medium size, and would probably be ideal for parties of 2-6 but not much larger. When my food came, it looked delicious! The bowl was a very large portion and had a good quantity of each ingredient. I am always happy when I have leftovers so I can enjoy my meal a second time! I only finished half and took the rest to go. I appreciated that the staff brought some sauces to our table for me to add into my bowl, because I felt that the vermicelli needed just a little bit more of a kick! If you order online/delivery I would suggest asking for extra hoisin/siracha on the side! The purple dream was delicious although I felt that my drink was a little warm for my taste. The staff was very attentive and quick with our food and with the bill. My friend accidentally forgot to ask if their spring rolls had pork in it and the manager immediately got her a veggie one instead, leaving the pork one to me . Overall, it was a great experience and I am happy we chose Saigon Saigon for lunch! read more

I got delivery with a friend, and there were some pros and cons to our meal. I'll start with the pros. Both of us got Pho soup, and the flavor of the broth was delicious. I got chicken and my friend got beef, both were tasty snd the noodles were cooked well. Also, the delivery was timely. For the cons, I have food allergies and they unfortunately did not get my order right. I asked for no jalapeño and no hot sauce and got both. So if you have food allergies, be careful ordering from here. My friend also got the spring rolls and said they were not good. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious. The server Norma is awesome she knows her job very well

I broth is good. The portions are great. I ordered a small for lunch and was more than satisfied. The prices are a bit steep. I also order a Thai tea with boba to-go. The boba was mushy and grainy which I assumed meant it was either overcooked or old/ not fresh. The bobas texture was alarming because the drink was almost $8. Probably just order the soup and pass on the Boba beverages. The Pho was 4 stars and the Boba Tea was more like 2 stars and the service was 4 stars. read more

Saigon Saigon is always a solid choice in my household for a low key meal or take out. We live about a two minute walk away so it really cannot get more convenient! Everything we have ordered in house or to take home has been delicious and satisfying. It has been quite some time between my original review and now, and we are so thankful to have a decent Vietnamese place within walking distance! Things I would recommend: *crispy spring rolls- always piping hot, filled with meat, crisp wrapper *grilled chicken satay- simple yet tasty, delicious peanut sauce *beef noodle soup-meat is always not fully cooked so it cooks in broth, broth is rich and flavorful, sufficient portions of "add-ons", noodles are well prepared as well. Despite hesitation for take-out, this dish proved to be just as tasty as in the restaurant. I loved that they packaged the tables sauces in packets so we could mix it to our liking despite eating at home and not there. *chicken pho-same thoughts as the beef.....plentiful amounts of chicken; the small is my order and leaves me full. Broth flavorful and made more so by the accompaniments. *yellow noodle soup with shrimp and bbq pork- again, most of the same thoughts as above. Shrimp well prepared and plentiful. pork was juicy and flavorful. Broth slightly more complex than the pho broth. *chicken in hot chili and lemongrass- lots of broccoli cooked perfectly. Seemingly healthy option. The heat was spot on-not overwhelming but present. Chicken was tender and plentiful. I'm sure there are plenty of other great dishes, but these are the ones I continuously order. Service for dine-in and take out has always been wonderful. Prices are great for a low budget, high flavor meal. I'd definitely recommend checking out Saigon Saigon if you have not done so already! read more

Saigon Saigon - Chicken with hot chili and lemongrass - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Tasty vietnamese food with several vegan options. We had Spring Rolls- I thought the tofu was pretty bland but the peanut sauce to dip in was tasty (my daughter especially loves the peanut sauce). Their pho is very good as is their vermicelli bowl (note, if you want it vegan you need to tell them to avoid the fish sauce). I think it's a little pricey overall but was tasty and my wife and daughter like it quite a bit. read more

Saigon-Saigon is the perfect stop for lunch at Pentagon City. There is street parking right in front of the restaurant (if you are lucky). If not, there is ample parking in the lot near Harris Teeter. Be sure to start with the Crispy Saigon Calamari. It is hot, salty, and served with a sweet dipping sauce for a perfect balance of flavors. For my main dish, I got the lemongrass chicken sauteed with onion and scallion. The lemongrass really balance the spice of the peppers and the peanut sauce. I would definitely get it again. I have been to Saigon-Saigon many times. I plan to go back many more times. read more

It felt really good to have some hot Vietnamese noodle soup on a windy cold night. Soup base was very flavorful. Noodles were al dente, pleasantly chewy.

Pho is delicious!! Ordered for pickup and it was super quick and convenient. Open later than most places which is great

My first time having food here, however it was pick up. Upon walking in I was greeted with a smile and though I'm not familiar with the menu at all the host assisted me with what he thought I'd enjoy which I only wanted veggies kinda laying off the meat today. I was still seated and brought lemon water. I did enjoy my food and wanted more! The atmosphere is very romantic inside and not big at all I'd say more intimate medium sized dining area. They also have a full bar inside. The menu has a variety of dishes and bowls and if you love curry this might be your come to for some. So if you are visiting stop by it's also a short walk to shopping areas. I will be a returning customer! read more

Saigon Saigon - Beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Dropped in for dinner while visiting the area on business. Searched Yelp and found several new eateries nearby including this one so I decided to give it a try. My family is Vietnamese so I'm a bit picky about Vietnamese food. While it wasn't necessarily as authentic as I'm accustomed to, the flavors were good. I ordered a vermicelli bowl with grilled pork and spring roll. I requested the pork be cooked a bit longer as I like just a bit of char on the meat. The pork was tender and perfectly grilled for my taste. While the spring roll was small and not made with the traditional rice paper wrapper, it was crispy and the shrimp and pork filling was good and tasty. A good amount of fresh cucumber, carrots, bean sprouts and cilantro provided a nice contrast to the fried and grilled components, and all together the bowl was nicely balanced. The fish sauce was well seasoned with bits of garlic and topped off the dish nicely. I was able to walk in, be seated and served a nice meal in a fairly short time. While tables weren't necessarily spaced apart, it wasn't crowded and staff all wore masks. I look forward to trying other menu options when I return to the area. read more

Saigon Saigon - Grilled Hanoi Pork with Vermicelli and Spring Roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This has been a go-to for us because my boyfriend declared their spicy lemongrass chicken his favorite dish of all time. It's quite inexpensive for a favorite dish so why not have it frequently? It is a much more flavorful stronger spiced dish than I'm used to from most Asian restaurants in the area. I usually get the pho, which has a delicious broth. The service is always good - they strive to make everyone happy. I'd be wary of the bubble tea - when I tried it the boba was rock hard. I sent it back and got jelly instead. read more

I'm an experienced pho fan and Saigon Saigon has good stuff. I like the flavor of the broth, which has white and green onions (not just on the side like at other places). There are also lots of sprouts and jalapeños on the side - I often have to ask for extra at other places. There are candles on the tables and the place feels recently renovated. There were lots of takeout orders being picked up and most people were seated outside when we arrived for a late dinner. Some staff were also sitting at nearby tables eating and taking breaks, which could be a distraction if you notice these things. Some cigarette smoke came through the open front door at the end of dinner, but the door was closed pretty quickly. I don't know that I'd come here unless I was by Pentagon Mall, but it's a sure bet for quick, tasty pho if you're in the neighborhood. read more
