Shaking Beef
Frances L.

Lunch with my daughter today was a delicious respite in a serene setting in the middle of a busy day. That is what we wanted and knew we would get. I enjoyed my usual small bowl of Shrimp and Pork Wonton Soup ($8.00) with tender dumplings, egg noodles, scallions, cilantro, and crispy shallots in a flavorful broth. Best ever. Upon my recommendation, we both ordered the Shaking Beef, or Bò Lúc Lắc, ($25.) which is a delicious Vietnamese dish of marbled cubes of beef tossed in all the good stuff: soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, a little sugar, butter, garlic, and black pepper. Everything is shaken around in the wok to get a nice all-around sear, hence the name...Shaking Beef! We enjoyed it with Brown Rice instead of Jasmine. Kudos: The cubed filet mignon was cooked perfectly; it was tender and pink in middle. Outstanding! Two reactions: --I did not like the lime dipping sauce because it was very salty (grains of Sea Salt intact)served in a small dish that was on the plate, so next time I will order another type of sauce. However, the beef was flavorful without it. --There were too many sliced red onions and not enough spring onions. Our two orders to go (Pho with Filet and Chicken Wings) were ready when we finished lunch. Grandsons were delighted! Service was efficient and courteous as usual.

We had a trip here to visit Saigon Spring restaurant and enjoy the delicious food and friendly staff. Thank you very much

Grilled Pork Slices Over Rice Vermicelli
Kay A.

I was referred to this restaurant from a Facebook group and was not disappointed! The restaurant is huge! We got seated quickly. Service is fast and friendly. The appetizers were very good. Their bo luc lac is served with the traditional dipping sauce. The meat was very tender. The pork vermicelli bowl had the right flavor but I personally like leaner slices with little to no fat so I didn't eat much it. The lychee black tea was very good! I'm very happy to find some good Asian food in the area!

pho tai (rare beef noodle soup)
Denise C.

I've heard that Saigon Sprng is the real deal and I was excited for dinner. I walked in early on a weeknight and when I left it was packed! The place feels spacious and seating is ample. Their authentic dishes all sounded tasty and it was not an easy choice. I ordered the chicken wings with pickled vegetables, pho tai (rare beef noodle soup) in a 27 hour beef bone broth and the grilled beef slices over jasmine rice. It was all delish and really hit the spot, especially the soup on a cold night out. My cravings here were completely satisfied. Service was friendly and very prompt. I will certainly be back as I saw many dishes on their menu that I can't wait to try!

Wow! Friends brought me here for dinner. I had come in years before after they first opened and was blown away by the remodeled space. We arrived just as they opened and receiver quick service. The server was attentive bringing out all the sides needed for the pho, we also had some spring rolls to start and which were a perfect way to begin. I will certainly be back again to satiate my pho cravings.

This is our go to pho place in Clifton Park. The pho is pretty consistent. Price is reasonable. Fast service. The restaurant can accommodate a big group.

bún bò huế with spare rib
Susan B.

Being Vietnamese, I don't play around when it comes to pho. After seeing great reviews, we tried Saigon Spring--bún bò huế with spare rib and phở tái. The herb plate was sad: one wilted basil sprig and old bean sprouts. Had to track down sauces myself. Service wasn't friendly or attentive. For $50, this was a very mediocre experience. Definitely not worth the hype.

Look for these on your way out. YUM!

We've always enjoyed our meals at Saigon Spring. It is a favorite location for us to order Pho. On this Sunday we both had an interest in trying something different. I had a craving for seafood and spied their Coconut Seafood ($28) on the menu. A combination of shrimp and scallops on a bed of spring onion, bean sprouts, cucumber, mint, lettuce, and rice vermicelli noodles sounded so delicious. It was! The sweetened clear sauce in the bottom of the dish was good enough to drink by itself. While the shrimp were slightly overcooked, the scallops were perfectly cooked. Overall, a very enjoyable dish. My wife ordered the Shrimp Summer Rolls ($10) for us to share, and they were excellent, as usual. For her dinner, she had the Shredded Tofu and Thick Vermicelli Noodles ($17). Its sauteed tofu slices were served with braised gluten, carrots, yellow onion, and spring onion, served on a bed of vermicelli noodles with bean sprouts, cucumber, mint, and lettuce. Her clear sauce was different than what I had on my dish, it was not sweet, but it was just as desirable to want to drink. Service was very prompt and efficient. I'm adding that last star to my rating because they had something available that I haven't seen in a restaurant in quite some time - toothpicks, individually wrapped on the counter as we were leaving. They were right next to the lollipops and the Kopiko candies. BTW, Kopiko candies are worth a half-star all on their own.

Delicious every single time. So many fresh and healthy options. Wok pho is my favorite and I get it nearly every time. They put a lot of love in their dishes. Best Thai iced tea in Clifton park. The staff are all so kind, professional, and dedicated. They and give great recommendations if you are unsure of what to get. The ambiance encourages conversation for guests because it is quiet and peaceful. The booths are comfortable place to chat. Overall a very relaxing restaurant! Worth a visit.

Pho condiments
Danielle L.

Okay so this is the 3rd time that I have eaten at this restaurant. I was able to have a lunch meeting here recently and slightly reluctantly after my previous 2 experiences being pretty poor. The last two times I went were for dinner service though. Not sure if there is a difference in staff between lunch and dinner but the stark difference must come from somewhere. It definitely had a respectable lunchtime crowd, not filled but not empty either. The ambience and decor is a bit dated and drab but I typically always look over that if the food is good, because honestly that's what I care about most. But anywho, I was prepared to write a poor review after that meeting but boy did they surprise me! The only snag I would say would be that it took our server a much longer time to greet our table and take a drink order than is appropriate. But minus that I ordered an excellently flavored Thai iced tea and a grilled curry shrimp dish with roasted peanuts over vermicelli rice noodles complete with an incredibly tasty and intensely crispy spring roll! All the menu items are written in Vietnamese so I will try my best to label everything correctly. My clients both order the shrimp Pho. The broth was delicately flavored and delicious and came with a plate full of condiments. The remainder of service was fast, efficient and friendly! After not being able to recommend this place in the past based on my previous 2 experiences, I am happy to recommend it now! Some very tasty food here people! Give it a try and let me know what you think!

This restaurant is a hidden gem and why fight Saratoga when you can eat here? Authenticity confirmed with Vietnamese friends and each of our choices were great. Super service. Pleasant atmosphere and real go to choice. Bring the kids

My review follows the majority with a four star rating…read more The food, service and modern ambiance, were all very good. The wife and I only had the BBQ option. I loved the beef ribs and the marinated meats were all great. The reason for not giving it the last, final, fifth star, was because of the price. Fully realizing food prices are skyrocketing right now, the price and the pricing structure(s) are still my reason for not giving that last star. I would advise simplifying the prices into flat lunch and dinner rates. Wide selection of very good options and a go to for really good KBBQ with the my favorite the beef ribs. I would definitely recommend this place.

This place was pretty hip inside. I really liked the decor. The service was alright, definitely not…read morebad. I just can't help comparing it to Volcano in Niskayuna. That server went out of her way to make the experience meaningful. The food is also alright. I liked everything I ordered as far as taste, no real complaints there. I just wish that the food that was supposed to be hot was served hot and some of the meat was really fatty and sinewy. I loved that I got to order endless green tea and they had mini crème brûlée for dessert which I thought was a total win! They are super tiny so if you order the maximum of two that you are allowed then it is almost the size of one anywhere else. If you are a big eater then I think this is a really good deal for the price. If you're not then you could feel it's a bit pricey. Overall I would recommend trying it!

I'll admit to having kind of written it off for a long time due to the weird menu/concept (it's hard to trust that a restaurant is going to serve you a burger, some empanadas and a plate of pad Thai and execute any or all of them competently), but the good people at Fusion are serving food that's truly, honestly about three times better than it needs to be (caveat: we've stuck to the more Asian sections of the menu, so I won't make any bold claims about the burgers). The Chinese portion of our family unit said that my drunken noodles reminded him of the stuff that a street vendor sold outside of his middle school, which like, IYKYK (if you don't know, this is about the highest praise a plate of noodles can get). I'm not normally a major pad Thai enthusiast, but the version here was well-balanced and flavorful, not just kind of sweet and gloppy like a lot of local versions, and the broth for the chicken noodle soup is also truly random-SE Asian-street-cart level flavorful. If that wasn't enough to sell you on this place, the draft Sapporo is five bucks. In conclusion: please come here support these nice folks so they can continue to make above-par food for many years to come.
