Order a banh mi sandiwch from Saigon Tiger, a new store on Relish. 1st delivery is late, not a good start from a new relish venue. hopefully the food is better than the prep for the delivery. Got my BBQ pork Bahn Mi dleivered not as late as was suggested by Relish. It was delicious, nice portion, great bread, plenty of jalapenos. Definitely will order again.

Small, cute restaurant just off of the Davis train station! Their Bahn Mis are really good and large, and my friend had the lemongrass wings which he liked. Also try a tiger lemonade!

I came in here for lunch on a Sunday- we were seated quickly and the restaurant was relatively empty. The ambiance is very warm and welcoming- a cozy spot to dine for lunch and dinner.
I recommend Saigon Tiger for the food, particularly the BBQ Pork rice bowl which was a 5 star meal. The bahn mi was also good although perhaps there was a bit too much bread, and the ratio between filling and bread could be improved.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming, however we weren’t provided with napkins or silverware. I was disappointed because I ordered a beer and it wasn’t filled to the top. Overall, I would most certainly return to Saigon Tiger, and I have just a few constructive comments on my experience there.

Great place for casual dining. It is clean and quiet. Food is decent with reasonable price. Small dine-in area but no stress for families with kids (like us). Better than expected experience!!

Pretty average food for a high price. I got papaya salad with grilled chicken. The grilled chicken was fine but not very flavorful. Similarly, the papaya salad was okay but tiny. Overall not bad but there are dozens of better Vietnamese restaurants around. The service was fine but surprisingly slow even though it wasn’t busy.

Food was okay, but this was by far my worst takeout experience—on July 8, 2025. The order took 1.5 hours to be ready, and the sole server didn’t even acknowledge the four of separate parties waiting for pickups, nor the four parties hoping to dine in (who all left btw). He was clearly overwhelmed trying to handle a party of 20—why would management even allow that without proper staffing? He prioritized their food and elaborate alcoholic drink orders (likely chasing a big tip..).
When a few of us asked to cancel our takeout orders on Toasttab and get a refund, the server said it wasn’t possible. Meanwhile, I watched my food sit on the counter for at least 20 minutes before he finally packed it. After a long day at work, I stood there for nearly 50 minutes and this completely ruined my evening. I ordered take out because I'm tired and wanted something quick and comforting to ease my day, but this experience only made it fill with anxiety and stress. I can’t believe I even tipped 15% for this experience—I probably deserve a compensation for my wasted time instead.
Why does management think it’s acceptable to have only one person working a night shift while juggling dine-in, takeout, and large parties? Please hire additional staff—or at least a dedicated bartender. Or simply just turn off take out service or update with a more representative waiting time.

Delicious! I got the beef with noodles and my gf got the lemongrass crispy chicken with noodles. I will say the beef was more of a standout bc it seemed to come with some broth and more meat than the crispy chicken, which made the noodles easier to eat and more flavorful. The side of duck sauce was a great addition to pour on the noodles as well. The atmosphere was calm. They were playing bob ross and a fire place on the walls and we were the only dine ins around 4 pm until a group of 5 came in. The two staff out front were kind and prompt. They brought out food quickly as well as the check and water refills!
Next time we want to try the coffee with condensed milk (gf's order) and pineapple juice (for me) to go!
Our bill with tip came out to $35 for the two bowls.

This food was so delicious I can’t wait to return! I really enjoyed the tofu rice bowl, the carrots were so flavorful and the tofu was so soft. I also enjoyed the spring rolls.
