Baseline Vietnamese restaurant with standard options like pho, banh mi, vermicelli, etc, for lower than average prices.
The broth and overall pho experience here is not what I prefer because of its lack of depth, lower quality cuts of meat, and less of the meat compared to other shops. It is a bit surprising because their pho broth has the familiar aromatic smell and taste, just not enough of it and not to the degree that I’ve found with restaurants I like to frequent.
The two standout areas about this restaurant are that they have birds eye chilis available upon request (though frozen, these are much hotter/spicier than your average jalapeño pepper, beware or take note!)
And the restaurant pricing is on average less than comparable restaurants around NJ, I am pretty sure the price for a large bowl of pho here is less than $15 rather than closer to $20 as I’m now used to seeing.
No issues with parking, interior seemed festive, and staff were helpful and friendly.

Ordered the pho, fried spring rolls, fresh spring rolls and pork chop bahn mi. If you want authentic Vietnamese food you must come here. Christine is the the best!

One of the few remaining restaurants to serve delicious, fresh food with great portion sizes. Whenever I try Vietnamese food Saigon Restaurant is the high bar I compare it to.

If you are looking for an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, Saigon is a must visit restaurant for you. The food is simple & tasty, service is great & ambience is homely & pleasant. There are plenty of sauces & hot oil to try & enhance the taste. Prices are reasonable. Don't miss the starters! Owner is very friendly & will help you with the menu. I would definitely go back.
