This place used to be one of my favorites. The other day I placed an order by phone, and the woman who answered had a very strong accent and didn't seem to understand anything I said. I had to repeat my order three times and once more in person, and she still didn't seem to understand and ended up giving me what she wanted. They should hire someone with more fluent English and better comprehension skills.

Poor service, I ordered through the phone. She couldn’t understand what I was asking and I had to repeat myself multiple times. She kept saying she couldn’t understand me, perhaps because of my accent even though she had an accent herself. They still got my order completely wrong including the sizes.

Absolutely amazing food! This is hands down the best noodle house in the 805. Everything we ordered was top tier. The fried rice was incredible and packed with flavor, the beef and broccoli was cooked perfectly, and the spring rolls were fresh and crispy. The soup was also delicious and comforting.
My whole family was extremely pleased with the meal. Great taste, great quality, and definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing noodles and authentic flavors in the 805!

Newly remodeled. Looks a lot better now. Nice staff and good portions. Broth is more on the sweeter side

Five stars! I visit this spot every morning and I'm never disappointed. The staff is incredibly friendly and the prices are great for the quality you receive. I’ve tried the Asian restaurant in the center of Santa Barbara, but the quality here is far superior. It’s not even a contest! Also, Sonya is a rockstar—she provides excellent service every time. Highly recommended

Really tasty food! The staff was very friendly. After I asked a few questions our server kindly suggested a substitution that made our meal fit our needs exactly. Might be hard to tell from the outside but it's a clean bright dining space on the inside.

Delicious food! Always good customer service! Very clean and good atmosphere. The prices are more than reasonable for the amount of food you get!
I’m a Vietnamese and tbh i don’t really like the Pho here, the broth was ok, and they gave me less beef than what I was expecting. I would choose Pangzi or Phamous Cafe for the Pho.

TLDR: I do not recommend this place for anyone with a food allergy!
We were really excited to see Saigon open again after the renovation. Unfortunately they have zero care for food allergies. I spoke with the waitress about my allergy when ordering and when the food was delivered it still had jalapeños. I then spoke with the owner who didn’t seem to care very much, but brought a new side of bean sprouts to without the jalapeño.
We also ordered a chicken fried rice to share, the waitress and owner confirmed only black pepper in the dish. Thankfully after the jalapeños, I didn’t trust them and only had one bite. When paying, I asked the owner to confirm the rice was safe and she checked to find it also had white pepper. Im hoping my exposure is low enough that I won’t be in the hospital tonight.

Why are there so many people recommending this place? The pho broth is sour and the meatballs tastes so fake, like some technical production instead of actual“meat.” Thai tea is fine and the service is good though. Spring rolls are mediocre.

1st time here. Decided to give this place a try for lunch. It's big and pretty spacious. Has plenty of settings and tables. There was a good amount of people in there this afternoon. That's a pretty good sign.
Before going to the food I just want to put this out there. The white dude with the little chain around his neck, if you're reading this, please just quit. I see the way you questioned us, your tone of voice, the way you hand customers their drinks and the way you approach customers is not a good look. When folks thank you for providing service, be nice and respond back. Don't just walk off with that little pout on your face. When I came up to pay the bill, you ask us in the most rudest way possible. That is until I responded back disrespectfully to you. You simmered down your attitude a bit. Let this be a lesson. One day you might disrespect the wrong person and that individual may pull your card.
