Pho Saigon Cafe

Although we were the only customers on a rainy Wednesday evening there seemed to be many take out orders. The food was VERY good; definitely some of the best Asian food we have had on our travels.

The wonton soup broth was excellent although the wontons were too al dente for me. The potstickers were great as was the orange chicken and pepper beef. I was tempted to try the pho but my husband wasn't interested

It's a pleasant dining room with a full bar and the service was very fast. We strongly recommend this restaurant.

I was excited to visit this restaurant.

I used to live in D. C. , and there are SO MANY Vietnamese restaurants there. I had come to truly love their cuisine.

The space is beautiful and very clean.

When I came inside, I was the only customer. I sat at a corner table where there was an outlet to charge my devices.

I looked over the menu. Everything sounded so good!

I ordered two appetizers, the fresh tofu spring roll and the bowl of wonton soup. Because I'm on a reducing diet, I ordered a Diet Coke.

When the waitress brought my drink, she just clunked the bottle down on the table. I had to ask for a glass!

The appetizers came, they were both good, but the wonton soup was spectacular! I think they use the beef broth with Star anis that is in the pho. Yum yum!

I ate the California roll next. Then when my entree, the poke bowl, arrived, I realized I would not be able to eat it.

They had a bookshelf in the corner so I grabbled a book and started reading about the Trojan war. So interesting.

The staff was fine with me hanging around. I ordered another pop and just read for hours. It was so much fun!

This is a good place to scratch your itch for Pho, but definitely not top pick. Seasoning is one level and lacking layers. Spring rolls were good, but the shrimp was only a texture, no flavor.
Big turn off was the plastic and foam used to serve, wish they had invested in actual ceramic dishes (pho did come in a plastic bowl that can be washed and reused). Service was pretty spotty, more interested in their phones than in checking on customers. Music way too loud for the place, but if you like talking loudly like you are at a packed bar, I guess it works.
Would we go back? Yeah, if we need that Pho itch scratched and we are in the area, but not making a trip just for it.

Can't count how many times I've driven past this place before finally giving it a try, but the visit was well overdue, they've gained a frequent customer....portion sizes are huge and can last me 3+ meals! Teriyaki style is always my go-to but I've tried a few sushi rolls which did not disappoint in the slightest! I usually opt to take-out but the staff has always been fast and efficient

Went for lunch on a Tuesday and place was empty. We were seated, given menus, and plastic utensils and a styrofoam container. Pho soup came in a bowl but it was mediocre. The pad Thai came in a takeout container and was pretty good. Not what we expected for a sit down lunch.

4/1/2023 Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday. We had the Pork Bulgogi Fries. Amazing. We were looking for the jalapeños but nevertheless it was good. We had the Fried Eggs with Scrimp, served with bokchoy and rice. It was a very large serving. I would definitely get again. Whatever the sauce was added flavor and depth.
Service was great. Food arrived quickly. We were in no rush.
Ambiance was bright and clean. Cute plants in the windows.

Fresh, fast, friendly. And if anyone says "the food is expensive", well you pay for quality & I wouldn't have it any other way!

Unfortunately, I wanted to love this place but I didn't. This is definitely a order at the counter then sit down type of restaurant because the service wasn't great!
The waitress came to take our order and brought our food and we had to go to the counter for everything else we needed. I even had to go up and get our bill and pay once we were done eating. They also serve everything in paper bowls except the noodles. We asked for 3 waters and bottle water and charged for it. I should have been informed of that but wasn't.
Although the esthetics was inviting and colorful it was lacking in all other categories!
I ordered the "combo" bun Bo hue. The menu was not detailed to what the soup all came with. My husband got the "combo" pho. Both "combo" only comes with chicken and shrimp, although there menu consists of beef meatballs shrimp etc etc. we did ask about it and she said combo means shrimp and chicken. Which I found odd because we have gone to multiple pho restaurants in our life and combo usually means a little bit of everything! The pho definitely lacked in broth flavor! It looked more like a pho ga (chicken pho). The bun Bo hue want great either! It wasn't spicy, It wasn't lemongrassy, very bland broth! And tradition BBH had pork loaf and beef so when the combo BBH was received I was a little taken back, also BBH traditionally comes with vermicelli noodles and this came with rice pho noodles, which was not what I was expecting! But the menu doesn't detail any of that!!
We got two pork Banh Mi and they were good! Better then I've had at other places here in Pittsburgh! Although we did find a hair in one of the sandwiches. I also found some type of plastic sting in my soup.

I highly recommend this place. Enjoy!!!

The pho was DELICIOUS! I'm so happy we tried this restaurant! And the dumplings were also tasty. Don't sleep on this restaurant, try it! Their service was fast and the restaurant is so cute inside. We also ordered their milk tea, and were really impressed. We plan on coming by back!
