Mediocre by Karina H. at InsiderPages
This is usually my last resort restaurant because it is one of the few places that are open until 10pm. Service is pretty slow but the menu selection is huge. Pho is not that flavorful and the meat they used is not that good of a quality. Still pretty cheap though.

Good by Carolyn C. at InsiderPages
I really liked the broken rice dishes and they definitely have more to offer than any other Vietnamese place on the street. The atmosphere was okay but service was fine.

Busy Place
I wouldn't come here for the pho but the entrees are quite good. They even have 7 courses of beef. The service is rude.

Great Vietnamese Dishes
Saigon Restaurant offers a wonderful taste of what Vietnamese cuisine has to offer. Some of the dishes do have a lot of salt and MSG, but if you're willing to splurge a little, it's worth it. The salt and pepper pork, the spring rolls, and their fried rice are great. Pretty much everything on their menu should taste good. Parking will be limited, depending on how busy the restaurant is. It is often pretty packed, so the wait may be long. The servers' English can vary from good to non-existent. This is not a problem for me, as my Vietnamese is fluent, but it may hinder one's dining experience if you feel you must ask your waiter about the menu. However, they are very nice and helpful, so feel free to ask for someone else to assist you with your questions. Because the restaurant is so busy, the wait for you food may be a little long. Overall, this restaurant offers a good amount of tasty dishes to try.

the better of the rest
out of all the pho restaurant I've been to, I would have to say this is the better of the rest. Except the service is horrible. My friend didn't get his food until 20 minutes after the rest of the party received theirs.

My Favorite Restaurant
This place has the best Vietnamese food in town. I always start with my favorite apetizer- Spring Rolls with peanut sauce
or the chicken salad. The best. Everthing I've ordered was delicious, and they remember your name if you go often.

Decent
Service is pretty slow (time you order until time you get your food), but the menu is pretty expansive (Vietnamese and Chinese food). Pho is ok but could be better.

Vietnamese Food
Good soup and vermicelli noodles are available here. Across the street from a high school so it is also easy to find.

Better Pho Elsewhere
I wouldn't come here for Pho. I heard the other dishes were better but I haven't had it yet. Busy place so people must like it.
