Wife and I love Saigon Cafe. They have a separate vegetarian menu and everything we've tried is great. Wife always gets the eggplant and tofu in garlic sauce. I love their curries and noodles. When you order a rice dish it comes with a side salad and side soup. The soup looks simple, but tastes great, just like fried onions and I always look forward to it when we go.

Interesting variation from any Vietnamese vermicelli dish I’ve ever had. The meat in this case, was chicken in a coconut curry sauce. At first I thought it would not work but I’m really happy to have tried it. We also had the chicken Phô, which as expected was a bit bland, but ok once the jalapeños were added.

Ordered well done beef pho and Saigon noodles (curry taste). Didn't like the food at all. They don't even give you cilantro. Just basil. (Hard to find MSG free pho places and all of their broths have MSG BTW, I asked.) Saigon noodles were too soft. Disappointed.

The food is decent, but the service is consistently awful.

Food was great. Great portion for large pho.

This was one of the worst pho I've ever had... Its honestly kind of rare for pho to be bad, and this pho... Was bad. The broth was bland, the meat portion was miniscule, and when I hoped to add more flavor with their siracha or hoisen sauce, oh man, it turned out that even their sauces were bland. Their siracha was noticably different than the standard one. It tasted as if it was a weird knockoff that was then further diluted. So disappointed.

We loved this place. But when you advertise you close at 9 and we show up at 830 only to be told with a rude attitude that you stop seating at 820. When asked if we could order to go she said ughhh sure with a rude attitude so I will gladly take my business else where from now on.

it is a go to place for pho in downtown Livermore.

As someone from the Bay Area, this is hands down one of the best pho spots I’ve ever tried. The broth was incredibly hot and packed with rich flavor. My $30 dinner bill was very affordable for the quality. Everything was super delicious, and I’ll definitely be back! The staff were helpful, and the service was impressively quick.
A waste. The egg rolls were stuffed with cabbage, not like traditional Vietnamese egg rolls, more like Chinese egg rolls - tasted awful at that. The pho broth was very salty and lacked pho spices. The brisket in the pho had a weird taste. Price was above average so I expected more. Although the service was friendly, would never return.

Food quality and quantity was excellent. They could add little more description to their menu though.

I used to love this place but $18 for fried rice is ridiculous. Just plain greed. Probably costs 5 dollars to make and $18 dollars for plain fried rice! Insulting andshameful. We have families too.

Their vegan dishes are all made deliciously and I certainly recommend this place, as the options in Livermore are slim! The price point is a little higher than preferable for the quantity of food provided though, at $20 a plate.
