Came in solo for a relaxing 😌 meal and time to myself. Saigon didn’t disappoint. The food is always tasty and the LOVELY hostess ~server~ bartender Diamond (it was slow when I first arrived) was so elegant and gracious. Sometimes it’s weird to eat out alone, but she sat me by the window and checked on me just enough to make me feel seen.
Had the Pad Thai with shrimp, veggie spring roll and an order of coconut shrimp to take home for later!! . 5 stars ⭐️ and special kudos to Diamond, the lovely server/hostess!

Appalling Staff Behavior Ruins the Meal.
While the food was generally okay, the experience was completely overshadowed by the rude and unprofessional behavior of the staff.
Specifically, the waitress and the bartender were openly laughing at me and making fun of me throughout my time there. Their behavior was not subtle; it was obvious and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable, targeted, and humiliated.
No customer should ever have to endure this kind of treatment. It created a hostile and unwelcoming atmosphere that completely ruined what should have been a pleasant meal. I will not be returning and strongly advise others to think twice before dining here if this is the level of courtesy they can expect.

Amazing food, reasonably priced, good portion sizes
Ordered the Pho Ga and got a medium. They provide the broth on the side and all the ingredients fresh. Friendly staff 5/5 restaurant. Will definitely be coming here more.

Enjoyed an authentic Vietnamese lunch. Had springrolls, summer rolls, chicken satay, grilled pork chop, small bowl of pho, and sake flight. The server, Diamond had a great personality and was very attentive. The cook kept coming out to see how we liked our food. We left very full able satisfied. It tasted like home cooking.

Recommended dishes: Pad Thai with Chicken
Restautant was slow- not busy at all- yet somehow the server forgot we ordered appetizers. Wasn't until after I received my entree when I asked he rememberd- entrees were brought out 1 at a time- we were a whopping table of 3. My food was cold by the time all 3 were brought out. Food was mediocre. My first and last visit. Which is a shame- as I only try to support local business

The food was delicious and the service provided was great, I ordered the summer rolls for appetizer and Pad Thai with chicken for dinner both were delicious. Their Vietnamese iced coffee was one of the best coffees I’ve had in my life lol. 10/10 would recommend to people reading this.

Food was good but portions could be bigger. I really got into the store with a lot of excitement! Unfortunately I see on the menu they give you 3 satay as well as it says on the menu they give 3 satay. I server was good like average service but the restaurant is very well decorated and very clean but like I said food portions not good and they underserved me. Why didn't I ask in the store because I did not realize I was underserved. Sadly won't return but best of luck. Btw Duck Breast had more mushrooms than actual duck breast.

Cant believe that I have never tried their food before. They are soooo good.
Best pad see ew and panang curry in Buffalo. The calamari is also really tender and flaky. Our server was very friendly and helpful and knew the menu well.
The food was delicious and the atmosphere is calm. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience. Parking was difficult to find though.
While I have never been able to physically go to the location here, I DoorDash from here often! This is the best Vietnamese restaurant in Buffalo. I always have a craving for Pad See Ew and Saigon Cafe has the best one I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a new place to try and anything on the menu interests you… definitely go!
