Saigon Cafe

"It may look like a random restaurant at a pit stop, but Saigon is our favorite Asian joint in the Austin area. We make a 30 minute trip just for it. It's small, family run and the food is just delicious. Steamed pork dumplings are so perfectly airy and balanced it's ridiculous. Owners are sweet and kind and put a lot of effort to assure you enjoy your meal."

"What a great neighborhood find! My husband and I both enjoyed our dishes and spring rolls. Everything was very fresh and delish. Saigon Cafe is going to be one of our regular go to restaurants."

"Don't listen to Gus, they must have this place confused with somewhere else or something. Also, if you look at Gus' profile, it's virtually all 1 and 2 star reviews....I think it's easy to see what the common denominator is here. Saigon Cafe has been in business for less than 10 years, so it's nonsensical claiming it "hasn't changed in decades". It's also the opposite of dark and dirty inside -- this is why I think they're confusing it with some other place. I admit, the decor & furniture is dated, but it's functional and clean. Their menu is a mix of Thai and Vietnamese, and if you can't figure out how both of those ended up on the same menu, then I implore you to look at a map. And the price, Gus claims is $30-50 per person -- I can feed 2 people easily for that much. The most expensive menu items are only $17! Even with an app and a drink it will be less than $30 pre-tax. Why you have to lie? The pho stock is definitely not heavy, once again, did you review the correct restaurant? It also comes with all the garnishments PLUS fresh jalapeno. Anyways, ignore the haters, and enjoy some of the best Tom Kha you've ever had!"

"I ordered soft tofu and they serve me fried tofu which I emphasize I do not like. The waitress never came back to check how we were doing. My friends order was not tasty and he was very disappointed. I do love the flavor of their Saigon Curry so I may come back again but not for a while."

"#15 plus times eating here... Very nice people! The food is always amazing and flavorful! Authentic as it gets in the area! Get there before the rush, it always gets super packed around 6-7."
