I'm gonna start my review off by giving them the Golden Seal of Approval upfront!. five stars all…read moreacross the board and an extra star for customer service. If you're having a bad day a happy day if you sick and need something hot you need to stop here and get you a big bowl of beef pho to tickles your fancy you will not be disappointed. Now there are other things on the menu too and I definitely will tell you to try to grill pork chops. Oh my goodness the grilled lemongrass pork chops to be exact. The rice is flavorful! I was just out done with this dish. I had the shrimp spring rolls the bai me sandwiches all were yummy. I keep coming back to Saigon consistency and the taste of the broth, Goodness, It is something about it. I still have not put my finger on it yet. I don't need to cause I keep coming back generous portions dining in or carrying out. The customer service is excellent.!!Sunny is a treat and a delight! He's always willing to give you suggestions if you're indecisive or just wanna try something new I would have never tried Taro smoothie it is delicious. If you are a regular, you are always acknowledge and if you're new to them, you will feel welcomed. Go check them out and yes, they are closed on Mondays because I made a mistake of going one day but came back on Tuesday and Thursday. They sometimes are not open at 11:30 so call remember people this is a family owned business they too-need a break! If you wanna try something authentic, you'll come back. Definitely one of my favorite places to go!

Me and my friend showed up to this restaurant when they're "supposed to" open at 11:30 hoping to…read morehave one of their bahn mi sandwiches only for them to be closed. We went to blueberry hill next door which was very mid, and after we got out Saigon was open. We had plans today and wasted time waiting for it to open only for Saigon to open after we had the most mid meal at the place next door, sucks that we could've saved time by going to a much better place that was actually open during their advertised hours. A sign on the door or an update to their Facebook page that they haven't posted to since 2013 would've been nice. I'd give 0/5 stars if I could.

We have gotten food here several times and will continue to patronize this place. It is owned by a…read morenice Vietnamese woman who takes a lot of pride in her cooking. Every time I come in, she talks about how fresh her food is and how everything is made to order. She does everything on her own, so the food takes time to cook. Do not come when you're in a rush! We like to get the stir fry noodles and banh mi. We've had the pho and it's OK, but I like my mom's better. It is best to carry out since the seating and serving set up isn't ideal, but you can eat there. We have eaten there because we like hot food, but it wasn't a super comfortable experience. I'd dine in again though. Overall, it's a solid spot and nice to support a small business.

Got takeout so can't comment on restaurant itself!…read more I got the grilled pork banh mi, and my Viet-Chinese friend said it's the best banh mi he's ever had in America! The banh mi comes with a superrr generous portion of grilled pork, some pate, pickled veggies, cilantro, and a fried egg, which is not super common! I didn't love the pate (just not a fan of liver), but the pork was yum! Also tried the Vietnamese spring rolls, which comes in a box of three with a less concentrated peanut dipping sauce. These were great with a generous portion of shrimp! Good deal! I tried a bit of the grilled beef vermicelli bowl, and that was pretty standard and classic. Will definitely be coming back to try their rice plates next time!

We got a shrimp spring roll that was wrapped perfectly, shrimp incredibly fresh. Mango smoothie and passion fruit tea that both were refreshing and tasted very natural. The chicken Pho was next, Hot, fresh noodle were the perfect consistency and the amount of chicken was the perfect ration to broth. My uncle ordered a Vermicelli bowl which he ate right up he said his meat was cooked perfect and his veggies were fresh (this plate took a little longer but it was worth it) All in all a fantastic place, when you're in the area give it a try.

We stopped by Em Pho a couple times, and overall it's a solid spot. The Pho is well seasoned, has a…read moregood amount of meat and noodles, and the homemade meat balls are a nice touch. The Hu Tiu Kho (dry noodles) is something you don't see on menu's often, and was a nice meal to grab while out. We also got a Banh Mi to go. The Banh Mi was a little strong with lemon grass which, if you're not familiar with the taste, can be overpowering. What stops Em Pho from being a 5-star restaurant is price point. It's more expensive than other Vietnamese restaurants which offer similar dishes and flavor. The avg price is $1-$3 ahead of competitors. This, coupled with the interior still under renovations, holds them at 4-stars

We figured 40 minutes was plenty of time for a quick bite, but the everything went downhill from there. The space is extremely tiny-just four booths and two tables-and the empty tables were all sitting dirty. After waiting a while for the server to finally clean a booth, we sat down only to be told they were out of veggies for the pho. We rolled with it, but 10 minutes later after we'd already picked our food, the waiter came back to tell us they were out of all rice dishes, too. At that point, we were starving, so we settled for a couple of veggie-less phos. From the moment we walked in, it felt like they just didn't want our business. Definitely not a pleasant experience. It's a shame though because the food tasted decent.

Be careful, it was extremely spicy. The kids got some noodle dishes, also very good. The food is honestly enough for two people or perfect leftovers for the next day. We went on a weekday, so it was quiet. Food is made fresh, so it does take a little for the food. The food did come out piping hot, so advice to the owners to be careful on that. You're getting really good quality food. In general, the Hello Shawarma and Hello Thai staff are always nice. I really can't wait to go back. Next time I'll get pics, my camera wasn't working that day.

Today we ordered two Korean bbq beef banh mi combos and it comes with a milk tea boba or smoothie of your choice, we opted for a Thai green milk tea with tapioca at 25% sweetness and my husband got a strawberry smoothie with blueberry popping boba. We also ordered the pho dac biet and spicy beef bun bo hue to pair up with our banh mi combos. If I had to give a little feedback I'd say that the banh mi was cold. I'm from Edgewater and we have a lot of banh mi places and I guess I'm just use to the bread being more crisp and having a lot of Vietnamese Mayo. The food is insanely delicious and the portion was very generous. Service was incredible because each employee was very attentive and kind! 10/10 all the way through! Thank you. Keep up the excellent work.
