Saigon House Vietnamese Cuisine

Only in Washington for 10 days and I’ve been to this place 4 of those days. The Curry and the Pho is so yummy. Not only is the food amazing but so is the service. Our waiter, Truc, really took the experience to the next level, was amazed when I found out that he was new.

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the Tacoma area! I live in Seattle surrounded by plenty of Vietnamese food. I can confidently say the food from this restaurant is just as good and authentic, if not better than some of the places I’ve been to!

I’ve been here probably 20+ times. I’ve tried different dishes on the menu but my top 3 choices are their pho, bun bo hue, and mi xao gion (crispy noodle). They also have some Thai dishes like curry, pad kee mao, and crispy garlic chicken. All were tasty!

The service is friendly and attentive! Every friends I brought here have said all great things about their food and service. Overall, highly recommended!

First time visiting Lakewood, and we were recommended this spot for lunch while waiting to check into our Airbnb. From the outside, it looks small — but it’s surprisingly spacious inside. What stood out most was the variety on the menu: not only do they offer the usual pho dishes, but also Thai options, which is not typical for a pho restaurant.

We were seated immediately, and food arrived in a reasonable amount of time for a Tuesday afternoon. I ordered the Saigon Pho Special, and my boyfriend had the Pad Thai with shrimp.
The pho was just okay — the portion size was generous, but the broth lacked depth and flavor, which was disappointing for a signature dish. The Pad Thai was decent, with good flavor, though nothing particularly memorable. We also tried the Saigon spring rolls, which unfortunately lacked seasoning and didn’t compare to what I’m used to in the Bay Area.

If you're craving pho, this place might satisfy a basic fix, but don’t expect standout flavors. The variety is nice, and service was smooth, but overall, the food was average.

The pho stands out for its flavorful broth. I thought the other dishes were just okay and the prices are higher than you find in the Lincoln District.

The food here is very good. I recommend shake steak- soft, seasoned just right and the size of the portion is fulfilling. Pho soup is not bad at all although I tried better versions of pho, this is a solid 8 out of 10. Staff is polite and professional and atmosphere is clean and cozy. I will definitely come back.

I would definitely come more often if I lived nearby.
The fresh spring rolls were a good size and tasted freshly made.
The fried calamari was lightly battered and a nice appetizer.
I had the beef and brisket pho. The broth was very flavorful, which is always nice. Even the regular size was plenty for one person.

Absolutely delicious! I had the lemongrass beef vermicelli noodle salad. It was fresh and flavorful. Our table also ordered orange chicken, egg rolls, and coconut prawns. All yummy. Service was fast!

I had such a wonderful experience dining here! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious! fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out in a timely manner. The ambiance made it easy to relax and enjoy the meal, whether for a casual outing or a special occasion. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to friends and family.

Food was decent, the environment was great, but the margarita was absolute garbage, and the worst part is that the menu said it was $5, but when I got the check, it said it was $12. I might come back here but I'll never order anything other than a water or a soda.

Pro: The Smokey Saigon Drop is really good! I love that they have many cocktails options. The restaurant has nice, clean, with cool design. Good atmosphere.
Con: we ordered Bun rieu and Sweet and Sour Pork. The food is okay; I’m not very impressed with either dish… our guy server is nice but not very attentive. Hard to get his attention sometimes.

I ordered the garlic crispy chicken and it was warm and and somewhat crunchy. But it was a lil more salty or tangy. It had a weird flavor and after taste. Not going to buy that again.
