I like this place for a few reasons it's always steady and reliable. A good hole in the wall spot with a decent sized menu that has a lot to offer. I enjoy the large combination Pho or the grilled meat platter. They also offer a few house made teas that are tasty. read more

The pho broth is sooo good here. Also, some of the best pad thai I've had. Definitely my new local fav.

Very disappointing I got served past due meat very disgusting! Sad was one of my favorite places to go to but not no more !

Super legit little family owned spot. I've tried almost all of the pho in Longmont and this place is the most authentic, both in flavor and experience. The veggie pho broth actually has flavor which seems to be hard to find in Longmont pho options. The chilli oil is fiiire, I mean be careful when you use it cuz it's HOT! The food arrives promptly and has been fresh and consistent each time I've visited. Don't be a whiney whitey and complain about the service, it's authentic and the family who owns the spot are sweet and kind. read more

Saigon Xpress - Veggie pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

huge disappointment! I've eaten here and had orders delivered but today was it for me. I ordered multiple items tonight including their WonTon soup as shown on their website. What I got was a container of yellow water!!! WTF? I called and they wouldn't correct. They refused to refund my order for the crap soup. Shame, I liked this place but not again read more

When a cold strikes there's nothing better than a hot bowl of pho. Unfortunately, when you're working in a town you don't frequent it can be difficult to find just the one. Well let me tell you: Saigon Xpress is it! Star #1: Every pho-natic knows that quality pho starts with quality broth. Saigon Xpress def delivers. Rich with flavor and loaded up with noodles, protein (rare steak in our case), onions, and the gamut of spices. Star #2: Portions are on point for the pricing. Though I think it's a little odd that they only offer a small or large size - skipping medium all together. The price difference is about $1 between the two. Star #3: Service is fast and efficient. Not a lot of chit-chat to be had here; making it a great stop for a shorter lunch break. Star #4: They offer a variety of other dishes including sandwiches, noodles, and more. All seem to be super authentic! ...The only drawback I saw was that they don't offer crab cheese wontons (which I was craving that day). Also when they dropped off our bill they didn't explain that we go up to the register to pay. So that made for a slight delay. Neither of which were that inconvenient. Given that I am frequenting the Longmont area more for work, I can safely say I'll be back to Saigon Xpress to satisfy my pho craving! Yay! read more

The location has easy ingress and egress to the large parking lot. The restaurant had several diners when I dropped in for a pick up. It is always difficult for me to be understand that I want the traditional pho beef broth, but I do not want the sliced beef. I like the vegetables and tofu instead. But when we finally understood each other, my order was ready on time. This restaurant did not provide many of the toppings that I expect when ordering pho: basil, sliced peppers, sprouts and lime. There were toppings but the were terribly sparse. read more

First off, you'll see in my reviews I give praise when deserved, and shun when needed. Today I had lunch and dined in. I ordered the rare steak pho and chicken wings. Before was OK. The steak was a little tough like it had been sitting in there or maybe wasn't their normal cut of rare steak and only 2 slice other restaurant Huong Viet will be 4, 5 slice of rare steak. It was already in the bowl when it arrived to the table. The wings as you will see in the photo came out a little short, no pun intended. If I'm going to pay over ten dollars for six wings it would be nice to have an actual chicken wing and not just a piece of bone and Skin. To make this more interesting, I'm looking around for my waiter so I can get my check, mentioned my Wing short coming and get on with my day. All to find him sitting down having lunch. My water had been empty the entire meal and no worries good service is reflected in the tip, that's the beauty of it. You may have a different experience but this is not a good one for me. One star for multiple fails today. No return for me and egg rolls I think they left over cook, smell meat read more

The food has no flavor, the chicken is raw, the service is very bad, I ordered two drinks and they never brought them to me, the water tastes like chlorine, a bad experience to go out to eat deplorable environment. , never come back read more

I ordered the small steak pho, combination egg noodle and pork egg rolls. The egg rolls the were great. The pho was good. The combination egg noodle was not. It literally had two shrimp, one piece of chicken and one piece of beef. Very unfortunate as the price is pretty hefty. I called the restaurant to inform them and they said that's the recipe . I probably won't be coming here again. I would've gone to Pho Huong Vet but they were closed today. read more

Hole in the wall place. One lady taking care of customers from reception to takeout to waitress. Food was inconsistent- the vegetarian rolls were very good, the shrimp dish was salty otherwise not bad. read more

Going to start by saying that Yelp is the absolute worst. If you want to complain, or read bad reviews for a one-off experience, from a bunch of seriously self-entitled individuals, then this is the place for you. Saigon Express, however, is the best. Fast, delicious, best pho in town, hands down. Go Friday night, seems to be even better then. As for the rest of the whiners, most of them are complaining about some major first-world problems, such as their DoorDash order, or waiting too long for takeout. Is that annoying? Sure. Is it worth a smear campaign posted on the internet for the world to see, on a site notorious for crybabies? Probably not. If you've read this far, get off the internet, stay the heck away from Yelp, and go get your pho at Saigon. read more

Absolute worst Chinese food I have ever eaten in my life, honestly. All entrees had oily greasy breading falling off the dry chicken. Disgusting. All my family members had a heap of this greasy coating left in their plates. We threw the rest away and made dinner at home. And to add insult to injury, the food was very expensive. read more

I would've loved to try this place out. Tried to order through DoorDash, they made the first dasher wait 15 minutes and he reassigned it. The next guy somehow got a stacked order, so mine was sitting there getting cold, while it took them (at least) 35 more minutes to do the second order. I had to bail, so it might be good. But noodles + meat + broth should not be a two hour proposition. read more

This is the best Pho I have found in the area! You will need to order extra broth, noodles and meat to get it "just right" but even with that it's a good price. And the broth and meat are solid. My wife loves the Pork Noodle bowls and the kiddo love their fried rice. Add some dumplings! read more

Have noticed a drop off in the quality since the last posting. The chicken appears to be heavily processed and not freshly grilled. Will go to the excellent Pho Cafe in Lafayette for noodles bowls in the future. read more

I feel like I can't give any less than four stars because, while I didn't love the large pho with rare beef ($8.55), it's just so damn cheap and the quality is mostly there. To be honest, I've never been blown away by a single pho restaurant; they're all generally good, and they all taste the same. Portions are always very generous and I always leave full, but nothing is ever fantastic. The same applies to Saigon Xpress. I will note that the pho broth was certainly on the saltier side. Also, the bahn mi is NOT traditional bahn mi. I don't know how many people will care, but it's just not. The bread isn't the same, there isn't as much carrot or radish, and there isn't normally lettuce. Still, the sandwich was delicious so I would recommend. Service was friendly and speedy so all was fine on that front. Prices are very solid. read more

Great Pho! I used to frequent this restaurant back around 2015 and the Pho food great back then. Nice to know they're still around and putting out good food. read more

Very good food! Stir fry egg noodles, crispy noodles, dumplings, and eggrolls were all excellent! 10/10

This is the most consistent Asian restaurant I've eaten that in Longmont let alone Boulder Lafayette Firestone Loveland area. I'm always treated well and the food is consistently delicious. read more

We ordered from here on Doordash. The restaurant confirmed the order right after we placed it at 5:16PM. The dasher was sent there and the restaurant said they never received it (even though they confirmed it themselves) and she waited 25 minutes. They kept telling her "10 more minutes". She finally left. Another dasher was sent and they told her they didn't know about the order and kept walking away from her. By this point it was 7PM and we had called TWICE. The first time, they told us the order was "ready and on the counter" and the second time they said they were "making it" then hung up on me. We finally canceled the order more than 2 hours later. Such a joke, I'll never order or go to the restaurant again. read more

Really good.... We had crab cheese wontons that were really fresh & had a more unique sauce than you get at other places. Also had the chicken pho with beef broth that was really flavorful & a medium the perfect size for me. My partner had Mongolian chicken that was great too and came out so hot and fresh. Will be back!! read more

Be careful with this place. Had a bowl of Pho, and saw crushed glass at the bottom of my bowl. Had to seek medical attention. read more

Upset that I gave a second chance to this place. First I ordered to go and the food was mediocre. I thought maybe it would be better if we sit and eat...Sorry but this place doesn't have good tasty Vietnamese food. Pho broth was super salty...absolutely disgusting (they probably use instant pho broth). I also ordered fried rice with chicken and everything was dry as a bone. They use the cheapest rice you can think of. Do yourself a favor and don't even try this place. The staff was nice, but they even messed up a simple order and didn't even apologized...but instead I had to pay it Well...it's ok. I paid it with no fuss, but there was a very minimal tip. Better drive 20min to Boulder and eat really amazing Vietnamese food from Chez Thuy and you will see the difference. read more

I have eaten at Saigon express about a year ago. I really loved their noodle bowl with chicken. I just went back today for the first time and was so disappointed ...not many vegetables not many peanuts. The sauce was water down and bland and the chicken what was there was slice so thin and so dry and so chewy. The best part was the eggroll. I don't think that was a good bang for my buck at $14. I will not go back. I hope they change. I hope they look at the vegetables(I'm talking cucumbers here?)and the chicken and the sauce and make the improvements. I don't get it. read more

An excellent place for phô! Kind of a hole in the wall, but the food was delicious, the staff was friendly and the service was prompt. I'm definitely going back! There's more on the menu I want to try. I'm glad I gave this a try! You read more

Been waiting on takeout for a good 45 minutes now had no idea this place was this kind of busy food better be good!!!

I asked for sauce as I forgot to add into my order and the guy was rude and mix them together and said they couldn't give it to me separately. What was the worse part is there was a little boy who was sick walking around everywhere and kept trying to touch me little baby in her car seat and no one was around to grab him as he was one of the restaurants workers son. He was putting his hands into the ice chest and playing in the ice!!! I told the lady as she grabbed her son but she didn't do anything about the Ice!!! Worse experience ever!!! I did not even eat my food as I was worried after seeing this!!! I had to wait an extra 20 mins for my food after the order pick up time!! read more

No carb/paleo SCORE! I asked for Pho with no noodles. They substituted julienned chopped carrots, celery, Bok Choy. It was so fantastic and I feel even more of a health infusion than I usually get from Pho. Fast and delicious! (Only four stars cause it's not fine dining, you know, but everything they do, they do well. Very efficient service from a sweet teenager.) read more

Saigon Xpress - No noodles! Delicious. - Vietnamese Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

New to Longmont and haven't tried any other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. My Pho Tai was decent. I'd go back for it again. My husband combination rice plate was not very good at all. The service was not great and it was small place small. If it was lunch or dinner time you'd be on top of other tables. read more

Both the food and the service were great. The pho was great even though the rice noodle texture could have been better. The fried chicken wings were delicious. read more

Moved up here from Denver 1.5 years ago. We go here monthly. The best broth in Longmont for our boujee pho as****

We eat here all the time. Enjoy their Pho and spring rolls! We had some chicken wings this time as well. Very good.

My go to place for Pho (insert the flat accent over the o). I like the one with the egg rolls. These guys are doing it right. When dine in is back on, you have to sit in and get the full effect. By that, I mean the big bowl of Vietnamese soup while listening to classical Spanish guitar music. Weird. But, I have grown to love the combo. I said something to them once. But, I don't bother to ask anymore. I just accept the way the world is. read more

This is my favorite Pho restaurant in Longmont/Boulder and the cheapest. I always get the large Pho with Tofu and it is less than $10 and so filling. The broth is so much more flavorful that the others that I have tried. There is one place in Lafayette that is also fantastic, but it is far from where I live, so this is a great alternative. Yes, it is true that the tables are close together, but they have little space to work with, so they do the best they can. I have always had good service here. They staff seems to work hard and stay very busy. I wish they were closed on Mondays, instead of Sundays. This place would be perfect for a Sunday lunch. But they do okay the worst music. Old school elevator music. read more

Don't bother. Saigon Xpress used to be a solid, middle of the road restaurant for a quick lunch or dinner. The last two visits have been totally disappointing. The pho is bland and noodles mushy, the hurried wait staff can't be bothered to get the order right and if you bring this to their attention they fight with you. Last night, my friend suggested we stop in for a quick bite before seeing a movie. I was hesitant based on my previous visit but agreed, hoping that the last mediocre experience was a fluke. My friend ordered a small raw steak pho and I ordered a small tofu pho. When the food came out, it was two bowls of raw steak pho. I told our waiter that I had ordered the tofu pho and he proceeded to argue with me. My friend politely also reiterated that I had ordered tofu not steak. He then pulled the ticket out of his pile and showed it to me- "2 steak pho", and then sat there looking irritated with me. With our movie start time quickly approaching and at a total impasse with the waiter, as he clearly wasn't going to correct his mistake, I agreed to eat the steak pho knowing that I would never return to Saigon Xpress again. read more

We frequent this place once a week and it is by far the best pho in Longmont. The broth is flavorful, the noodles copious and the sides fresh. We usually get the large rare steak pho with a side of pork egg rolls. Place is usually fast and efficient and the price is great for what you get. Friday nights can be pretty busy though so try to avoid the 6-7pm rush hour. Definitely recommend it though! read more

Have been here 2x now. Had the pho and bun. Portions are small for $12 with tax for lunch. Noodle bowl with shrimp had literally one egg roll chopped into small pieces and it was cold and about 6 half shrimp and not much noodles. The pho broth was bland and barely hot and a small portion of noodles for a large. I gave an extra star because the service is decent, they are quick to get you the check and fresh water refills. read more

Went here last week for lunch. Called in a take out order around 12:15 and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. This restaurant is shopping center where the parking can be very limited due to all the other shops around it but they do have a few spots in front reserved for there establishment. I ordered their beef noodle bowl. I had to wait about 5 extra mins when I got there but it wasn't a problem at all. I received my food and they had some tasty looking sauces on the table that I put on my noodle bowl before I left. The meal was exactly what I thought it would be. The beef was in very thin strips. No a overly filling meal but I don't believe Vietnamese food should be. I thought it was very clean fresh and hit the stop. I will be back. read more

I really love this place for their noodle bowls. but something really hit me the other day when it comes to customer service. My wife was in there we go in there all the time and ordered some food to go I guess she forgot to order the second noodle bowl was just for me. When she got home and didn't have it, I called the restaurant. I asked if we had left a noodle bowl there oh, and the guy was very rude like I was trying to get something for free. I can tell you this we have literally spent hundreds if not $1,000 there in the last few years. I'm a big guy for customer service I will not return I'll find another noodle bowl place read more
