Saigon Kitchen Reviews
My boyfriend and I went here together for the very first time and had an amazing experience. The food was fresh, the service was quick and our waitress was very kind. The only drawback to our experience was the manchild in the restaurant when we arrived. He was sitting at a table with 2 others dining in as we were, and decided that screaming at the waitress, the chef, and 2 other employees was an appropriate course of action after there was a misunderstanding when he and my boyfriend...read full review
Gave me meat on purpose and smiled. Went there today. Was very clear about being vegan and clear conversations. needs more caring and mature staff/management.

Saigon Kitchen offers a traditional Asian-owned restaurant ambiance, providing generally good service and food recommendations from the staff. The summer rolls are chewy with an excellent sauce, and the house special pho is tasty, with good portions of beef and a sweet yummy broth. The Pho Tai Gau is noted for its flavor, although the noodles can be a bit tangled together. The Crispy Squid, though a little oily, remains a standout dish. Customers appreciate that they provide Chinese chili oil, enhancing the dining experience. The ambience is nice, and the service is fast and friendly, making it family-friendly for diners with children.
The vermicelli bowls and the pho are just fabulous, with some customers feeling like they're back in Vietnam. The unassuming space offers really great, authentic-tasting food, including a killer bowl of pho tai nam that's perfect for a crisp day. The food is reasonably priced, and the fried rice has a nice wok-fried flavor, while the fish has amazing crisp and texture with a savory sauce. Though there may be an occasional minor issue, the staff quickly addresses any concerns, providing a satisfactory Vietnamese comfort food experience, particularly for those in the area.
