I got the Saigon special pho with beef tendons, absolutely delicious. the spring rolls were fresh and tender, and my wife loved her shrimp rice bowl. we will be coming back, I've got my eyes on the glass noodles and maybe a sandwich.

Recently came back to Saigon Corner after coming here 2 years back, really such a beautiful & peaceful place to eat you definitely get a tranquil vibe when you’re sitting down there so if you’re looking to study or read between classes or what have you; grab something & relax here. The staff are also very accommodating & kind so props to them for making you feel at home!
Usually when I hit pho spots (I bounce back & forth between NEPA & MD) I ask if they have spring rolls with tofu instead of shrimp (I know tofu? But yeah trust me it’s good) so I was thrilled to see that Saigon Corner had these available! The spring rolls come cut in 4s & a side of peanut sauce, presentation looked very good ? was excited to dig in.
The flavor of the spring rolls was on point, a good minty taste to it (love biting into a spring roll & having the mint punch me in the mouth hah!) & the tofu was cooked perfectly! 5/5 as far as the spring rolls themselves go.
I then decided to try the peanut sauce (love peanut sauce it’s a must-dip if you’re gunna eat spring rolls).. this is where the appetizer as a whole fell a bit on the flat side; the sauce itself had actual chopped peanuts in it (good!) but tbh the thickness & flavor was a tad lacking. The consistency of the sauce was a little watery while the flavor was somewhat there I was hoping for a little more of a punch ? of pea-nutty goodness to it. Overall, 3/5 peanut sauce good but I’ve definitely had better needs a little work.
About 5 minutes after my spring rolls came out, my pho came out still steaming hot (tbh, they gave me pork pho at first by accident which was np they ended up bringing me a fresh chicken pho) & man it smelled great! First sip of the broth had a oniony herbal beefy broth flavor with hint of jalapeño & cilantro; good stuff! Digging into the pho a little more, I tried the rice noodles & they were absolutely perfect! Soft but not soggy, good favor! Honestly, the only downside was the lack of white onions (even asking for extra) & lack of chicken; I don’t think there was nearly enough in the soup (although what I did get was good! & flavorful!). Overall though, 4 felt it was a tad skimpy on some things but if there was more chicken & white onions it would be a 4.5. I also feel that the price for a regular bowl is a little steep; at other locations I can get a large for a little cheaper or about the same price.
Saigon Corner at Steamtown is a good spot to eat if you have a pho itch, I would definitely recommend hittin this spot!

Located inside a mall with garage parking attached to the mall. This restaurant will validate your parking ticket for free parking. We ate here on a Friday afternoon on our way back home. We were the first customers to arrive as we got there just as it opened.
In addition to their food, they also have bubble tea. We ordered the thai tea and vietnamese blended milk coffee. Loved the blended milk coffee but just keep in mind that it is very strong! I found the thai tea to be a bit too sweet amd ended up mixing in some water later.
The pho was very good with rich meaty broth that wasn't greasy at all. They gave us plenty of noodles and lots of meat. The spring rolls consisted of both pork and shrimp but the peanut sauce was a bit too watery. I prefer mine to be of thicker consistency.
We love garlic noodles so when we saw them on the menu, we had to order it. Unfortunately, we found it to be very salty. The noodle texture was perfect though, nice and chewy. Loved that it came with large shrimp and meat but just eat too salty.
Our waitress was very nice and checked on us a few times. Seating is roomy and overlooks the mall.

Really good sandwiches, they let you actually watch the chef work on your meals. I can guarantee if your an american and you think a basic BLT is a god tier you'll be blown away by their Banh MI it's a Vietnamese sandwich. They've been eating it longer than America has been recognized. It's a damn good sandwich.

Love love love this place! The chef is so sweet and almost always visits the tables. And the kids that serve are all really sweet. Came here for the Pho stayed for the five spice chicken (#10) which I I upgraded with garlic rice and when I tell you it was a flavor explosion!!!!!!! Bruuuhhhh so good. Also the sweet jasmine tea is addicting. The ONLY thing I’m not fond of is the peanut sauce :( I love peanut sauce with my spring rolls, and this one tastes and feels…watered down? So that’s a little disappointing. But overall really great place to get a full meal or even a little snack (or a boba tea) Definitely give this place a shot :)

I ate until it hurt to breathe for less than $40…and enjoyed every minute of it. Fantastic quality and service, relaxed and laid back atmosphere, and some of the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life. This place is a gem. Do yourself a favor and check it out, you’ll be glad you did.
The food and drinks are so bad. Like, really bland, prepackaged ingredients. Staff is nice enough, atmosphere is decent. But I'd rather have bad staff and good quality food and drinks since that's what I'm paying for.

Asked for no pork in spring rolls. They agreed to make spring roll without port. Came home and bit into spring roll. Pork in egg roll. Allergic to pork. You’re headed for a lawsuit if you can’t follow simple directions.

They are on the second floor across from T-Mobile. I ordered take out chicken vermicelli which the Americanized menu name is “ rice noodle bowl” but I think it’s Bún Gà Nướng (Grilled Lemongrass Chicken & Rice Noodle) which I have been ordering in Elmhurst New York since I was a child. And it tastes nearly identical! It comes with a spring roll? Weird atmosphere being open and hearing mall noise but that’s about it. Idk if I would eat in. They will be a successful restaurant establishment without being in a mall when the time comes,I am optimistic they will grow to be the greatest Vietnamese restaurant in Scranton. Or the Valley!
Wheelchair accessibility: Mall has accessible elevator and ramps from main entrance or parking garage.
I had the lovely tofu banh mi. The roll was perfectly toasted and the vegetables were fresh and full of flavor. There was hoisin, soy and hot sauce on the tables. I added hot sauce - perfect! Even my omnivore partner who tasted it said he would order the tofu next time. He had the pho with the egg in it. He enjoyed that as well. We hope to return.
