Saigon Cafe

"My first time to eat here! The food was so delicious and the owner is so sweet! We will definitely be back! Loved it!"

"food was great, was served to us in a matter of minutes, atmosphere was very homelike! good place for authentic vietnamese food!"

"I wasted over $40 with tip order to go. Their shrimp & chicken fried rice was orange and had no flavor. The V10 shrimp taste dried out. Their viet eggrolls had no flavor and kind of cakey? I told them I was a new customer. They shouldn't be giving out old stuff if you want people to come back. Times is tough and cost of supplies are higher but its just NOT RIGHT."

"I'm a fan of oriental cuisine so when I found out there was another Vietnamese place near my house, I rushed over to settle my noodle fix. I didn't regret it either. The whole experience was nice (unlike the other place nearby...) Like I said, I was really craving noodles when I went in so I was relieved when I saw that had several different kinds of noodle dishes on their menu, along with some other good stuff. The price range is about $3.25 - $20.50 for entrees and appetizers and $2.50 - $5 for drinks and extras, including the ones in the fridge near the front counter, so it's not too expensive to eat here. The place was relatively clean and tidy and the fish tank nearby was a nice little touch of atmosphere. I wasn't sure why there was a disco ball in the dining room but that's just me. The female cashier, Tammy, was really pleasant as well. I was totally comfortable with her service. As far as food went, I went with the Hu Thieu Saigon: the clear noodle soup, with shrimp, pork, and crab. It was pretty good! The noodles were nice and tender as with the shrimp, and the crab was surprisingly delicious. They even give you a side of bean sprouts and cilantro to put in the soup. The broth was a nice, mild flavor that went well with the noodles. They'll also let you order even more noodles to put in the leftover broth, for an extra $3.75. It's little steep but the clear noodles were kinda hard for them to come by so I let it go. My only complaint was the pork. It was kinda dry... Overall, this is a place I'd totally recommend. I'll be coming back to try something new, next time around. Just be wary as, according to Tammy, the pandemic sometimes makes hours fluctuate a bit."

"We were visiting Lubbock and found this place online. We walked in and realized after several minutes that it was a self-service (order at counter then find a place to sit). Overall, the food was good but I felt that the beef and broccoli could have been more flavorful."
