I usually have Pho in the San Jose area. I was visiting my brother-in-law and they took me here for lunch. Street parking space can be hard to find. The restaurant is nice and clean. The service is very good. The Pho is good but not great.

If you're looking for a hearty meal -- eat in or to go; this place has that and more. I've come here over the years for their great Pho and a chicken dish, oh and their yummy teas; and I almost always can't finish the entire meal -- hearty, good and plenty. It's all good, convenient and the folks are not just friend, but generous -- I once saw them helping someone who didn't quite have enough; just because. Good people. #TheBrokerWithAHeart.

Pho soup was water down. Noodle in the vermicelli bowl was soft (over cooked) and broken, looks to be pre cooked noodle and left out for a while. Send the vermicelli bowl back and the same thing came back out. Will not going back!

They serve authentic pho. Nice and friendly service. I was waiting for my friend in front of the restaurant 15 minutes before they open. They let me in because outside was cold. So nice!

I’ve been to this restaurant awhile ago, almost a decade ago. Food was not good. So I never came back again. Swore I wouldn’t come back again. I had been wanting Vietnamese food a few times now. I went to Pho Element, that place turned out not good at all. So I thought it’s been sooo long since I’ve been back here, I should give it another chance. I got these to go: - Bun Rieu (for me) - Beef and tendon Pho (for the husband) - and an appetizer, Banh Hoi Tom mia
All 3 dishes were surprisingly delicious! The noodles were separated from the broth and half cooked, which was awesome of them to do. That way, when I got home, I still had time to reboil the broth and they wouldn’t get soggy or stick together. I was able to fully cook the noodles with the reboiled broth. Tasted as if it were brought to me at the restaurant. So good! The appetizer was also really good. They gave us a full bag of veggies, which was also awesome! Didn’t skimp!
Service, was as expected, mug faces. But that’s usually how it is. That does not bother me. As long as the food is good, I’m good! Aside from mug faces, the food was ready for me as soon as I got there. Took me about 10 min to arrive. The person that helped me was nice. Before I paid, he said, “let me go check to make sure if your food is ready.” It was.
The person that took my order on the phone, was there as well. She said “thank you for coming.” That was nice.
I’m very happy that they stepped up their game. I’m definitely coming back again!
Thank you, Saigon City Rest for upping your game, cooking delicious food! Please keep it up! You are my only go-to for Vietnamese food when I’m missing home-cooked meals! ❤️💯🫶🏼👏🏻🥰
I’ve been here maybe half a dozen times and every single thing we’re tried was excellent.

Food was alright. Customer service was horrible , on top of the fact that I had to constantly call them While we were the only ones there , they didn’t take initiative to ask if we needed anything , the lady at the cashier complained that I didn’t leave a tip, I’m one to always leave a tip if the service is good, but to be honest from the very beginning they were very hostile, we had spring rolls which were a 2/10 just because they seemed fresh but flavor wise , definitely had better. Pho was a good 7/10 because the broth was good but the toppings smelled old and looked old. My kid has the pho with just noodles and enjoyed it. Please if you would like a tip from your customers , make sure you actually make your customers feel welcome instead of mugging them behind their back and complaining about not leaving a tip. It isn’t an obligation to tip just like you guys aren’t obligated to give good service , that comes from you and your character.

Definitely would come here if everything else was closed. If you love flies, oily and poor tasting food, and love your drinks to be 95% ice, this is the place to go! Must go if you have money to waste.
