Second visit, and again short staffed here, food was good/okay, a bit pricey for the size of the portions. The service was disappointing, and slightly rude. Hopefully with more staff and feedback this will improve.

This was a good substitute for my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Atlanta. They are very friendly here. Would definitely return.

I used to come and get the fried chicken and egg rolls all the time ! It’s been a while and I was in the areas so I decided to stop by WORSE MISTAKE the food took 40 mins to get ready people who came to sit and eat received their food before I did and the food in general was Garbage ! ! Chowmein was flavorless and full of watery broth the chicken was flavorless as well and sitting on a bed of chopped bell peppers and onion $36 down the drain I’ll never return .. and to add insult to injury the man took 10 mins to cash me out didn’t know what to ring in I was probably over charged

This is the best Pho place in middle GA. My husband and I get the Pho with all the beef meats (a pho special at most places). The broth is delicious and full of flavor. The meat and noodle portions are generous. The atmosphere is welcoming and calm. This is a mom-and-pop restaurant - truly authentic! I highly recommend Saigon Bowl!! 😋

Went today, walked in stood at the counter for 10 minutes waiting for someone to take my order. Someone from the back looked through the window at me and walked away. A guy was sitting at a table doing paperwork I assumed he worked there. Nonetheless I felt very disregarded and ignored. I ask if someone was here to take my order everyone stayed silent and looked at me. Won't be returning here.

Just don't

Our first time visiting today, and everything was delicious.
The owner is also the chef, and came out to greet everyone. What a sweet man he is!
We will definitely be coming back ☺️

The food here is just decent, it has a homemade feel, but it doesn’t reflect authentic Vietnamese cuisine. This spot might be okay if you’re in the mood for fried rice or salads, but I wouldn’t recommend it for Pho or Banh mi.
The price doesn’t match the quality or portion.
Although the chef is Vietnamese, his skills come across as rather amateur, which is disappointing to admit.

I also happened to know during my visit that the restaurant sources most of their ingredients from City Farmer Market - an Asian grocery chain known for its budget-level produce and poor sanitation. This calls into question the pricing even more, as the ingredients are far from premium.
—————
The Pho broth had an unpleasant odor, likely due to poor technique in handling the beef. It wasn’t a rich, meaty aroma, but rather the off-putting scent associated with stress hormones from industrial slaughter. Even using fresh meat won’t fix that without proper culinary skill. On top of that, the broth was cloudy, probably from being reheated or cooked at excessively high temperatures. Also, no culantro was served - a key herb and the essential soul of a proper bowl of pho. Neither the chef nor the staff (who appear to be family members) were even familiar with this herb.

The fried rice had good texture, each grain was well-separated yet moist. But the use of margarine for fragrance overwhelmed the natural flavors of the seafood and meats. The seafood used was low in quality, especially considering the price point. Seafood fried rice consisted of fish balls and imitation crab sticks, which felt like corner-cutting.

The goi (Vietnamese salads) were decent, and the fish sauce dressing was fine, though nothing stood out. Again, the price felt too high for what you actually get.

The BBQ short ribs with rice were marinated well, but the portion was small and the meat sliced thin - noticeably less than what you’d get at T Break. It also lacked the usual pickled carrots and daikon typically served on the side. Overall, not worth the high price.

The Banh mi was disappointing. The baguette was overly hard and crumbled with each bite. It came with no fresh herbs or vegetables - just bread and filling. Once again, not worth the price.

In summary: I’d also strongly suggest the restaurant reconsider its pricing, especially given the quality of ingredients used.

It was an awful experience! We repeatedly had to ask where the rest of the meals were. They never brought one of them and never served the tea that was ordered. After watching customers that came in after us get served and checked out, I told them to cancel the missing order and tea and we left. Worst service ever!

Ordered the Pho dac biet; for the price I expected a bit more meat. The broth’s flavor was nice although it’s definitely on the salty side.

Ordered the spring rolls (both the pork and shrimp ones) and they were good.

Also ordered a side of fried rice and the egg wasn’t even fully scrambled. The fried rice itself didn’t have much flavor or character to it.
