Pho Saigon,

"I wanted to try a Vietnamese sandwich and I researched and found that this restaurant offered them. When we arrived we were waved to a seat in the back. Overall, the service was not overly friendly. Not rude, but not friendly. I also ran out of water and my glass sat empty for 15 minutes even though they were not busy. The sandwiches are not listed on the menu. They are listed on the napkin dispenser. I asked what the most authentic sandwich was for Vietnam and the waiter pointed me to the “Special Combination”. I have traveled internationally a lot for work so I will pretty much try any food. For those who are more picky, be sure to research “headcheese” before ordering this sandwich. It is not actually cheese. We had ordered an appetizer but my sandwich came out first. Then about three minutes later we got the appetizer. About five minutes after that my husband got his meal. I am a believer that an appetizer should be first and the chef should plan for both entrees to arrive at the same time. My sandwich was really good and the cilantro and jalapenos worked great together. Just a heads up, no side is served with the sandwich. The egg rolls were really good ant the sauce for them was phenomenal. I could eat it with a spoon. I tried my husband's Beef Stir Fry and we both agreed that it was lacking in flavor. Overall, it was an okay experience. As we were walking out we noticed most people had Pho so I would go back to try that. Tip: They don’t accept Amex. I know Amex does charge companies more so this did not bother me but just a heads up."

"This place is great! The food is VERY authentic Vietnamese and is wonderful. The owner is hilarious and if you like it SPICY, you have to ask for the "special" pepper sauce, otherwise you will get the "American spicy" pepper sauce. The place is right next door to a Vietnamese market. Always a good sign when the restaurant is attached to a market. As for these people giving bad reviews because they obviously are NOT familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, go to McDonald's and get a cheeseburger. Don't review cultural food with a deprived and undeveloped palate!"

"Have eaten here a couple of times and am pleased each time I come! Great food and friendly service. I normally go for some of the soups and they never disappoint!"

"I couldn’t have asked for a better time. I loved every moment, the food was so fresh and was clearly made with love. The service was so nice and pleasant, I had a blast. He also was very helpful when it came to packing up leftovers. The store is also next to an Asian Market that has such a great variety."

"Pho Saigon, you never disappoint me, even with a DoorDash order. Even when I am at work, thank you for making my Sunday absolutely delightful and tasty."
