We ordered bahn mis for a group and one of them had lived in Vietnam for a time and said it was the best one she’s had here. Love Saigon Café!

Pho is one of my favorite foods on the planet. I’ve had it in many places and I can say that this is second to none. The service is also exemplary and the chef even came out to greet us just to see how we were doing. It was such an amazing personal touch that is lacking at most restaurants. I will most definitely be coming back very soon even though there are multiple Vietnamese restaurants closer the drive is more than worth it. 10/10 recommend.

The pho from Saigon Cafe is the best I've had from a restaurant in Lancaster. I don't live close to the restaurant but it is worth the trip (or delivery fee using a delivery service) to get it. If I ever have a cold or feel ill, I pickup some pho & it always makes me feel a little better. Do I recommend it? 💯💯💯

Just moved from the west coast and had this little hole in the wall pho place that I went to a couple of times a week. They had the best broth I have ever had - so much so, that I would buy it in bulk and freeze it while they went to Vietnam in the summers.. I haven’t found this in Lancaster, but damn this is close!
After trying a handful of spots around Lancaster county - this is the real deal and I will not spend my money elsewhere on Vietnamese food. My wife rolled her eyes when I told her I finally scratched the broth itch tonight.

We had a fantastic experience here last night with my family. The atmosphere is modest but the service and food are top notch. The owner was was very friendly and came out to recommend dishes.
- We tried his innovative take on Bahn Mi and it was the BEST Bahn Mi I have EVER had. Phenomenal meat, toppings, and of course bread. - Both fresh rolls and spring rolls were fabulous. - Owner brought us his homemade chili oil which was fantastic, very different from Chinese and Thai oil. - Lemongrass chicken on vermicelli with thin slices fresh veggies was fabulous. Flavorful chicken dusted with crispy stuff. - Tofu pho was excellent. The tofu was really nicely done (sliced thin, not fried but still firm texture. - The only dish that fell short was a chicken and noodle stir fry which was a bit too soggy and not as flavorful as I would like. .
We will definitely return to this establishment. I would also consider catering (Bahn mi, fresh rolls) for my next event at home. The owner's outgoing personality and friendliness really helped make it a good experience. Well done!

I didn’t expect to find some truly great Vietnamese food in Pennsylvania. A surprise to be sure, and a welcome one. The food was authentic with lots of variety in flavor and texture. Some of the meals even have a local and creative flair like the Bahn Mi with the au jous dipping sauce (highly recommend). The staff are quite friendly and welcoming as well.

We went in late at night 7:30pm, did called to confirm about the timing since the closing time is 8pm. Owner was very accommodating and told us about the specials bahn mi, which my son loves, he devour it quickly. We also order the pho that has everything in it so flavorful along with the pork chop combo, that meat patty cake by far the best I had compare to the ones I got from queens NY.
The beef broth in their Pho is very flavorful and rich. Great meat quality. Would have liked more tendon in my soup but that's just a personal preference. The Cha Gio was crispy and had great flavor. I had the pork skin summer roll and it was great, but I didn't enjoy the texture. The pork in it is intentionally dry l, because of this it wasn't my favorite. The Che Thai dessert was delicious and a great way to end the meal. I also ordered the hot jasmine tea which reminded me of a fond memory from my childhood. Service was personal and the staff had great customer service. They have a cool fish tank with some big ol boi's in it. All in all, way exceeded expectations for a random dinner on a work trip in an unfamiliar town.

The Pho broth was one of the best I ever had and I’ve tried many. The rare beef was tender and the noodles were perfect.My husband’s chicken broth was also phenomenal. The service was great and the owner was friendly and engaging. It is now my favorite restaurant for Pho. We’ll be back soon!

In a sea of dinner options, Sai Gòn Café stands out! The staff are super friendly and welcoming (the owner, Ken, came out and shared his recommendations—which were super), service is fast, and the food is delicious, authentic, and refreshing. Highly recommend!
