Saigon Cafe

Excellent pho, terrible Vietnamese iced coffee. Will go back for my pho fix! UPDATE: used to be really good, however something is now off w the pho broth and meat. The service isnt very good and the waitress was rude w no manners. Also the restaurant and bathroom are very dirty, cold and dingy.

Update: 10.28.23 Tofu lemongrass rice plate was delicious, except for the rice, which tasted like fish! We are vegan, and while we understand this restaurant prepares all foods in one kitchen, shared utensils should not be used, especially between steamed rice and fish. This has never happened before, and we hope it won't happen again. Otherwise, the rice noodles & veggies in our tofu veggie pho were undercooked quite significantly, so we microwaved the soup in a large bowl until properly cooked when we got home. We have eaten at Saigon Cafe since they opened, but the last few years are more hit & miss wrt quality. We still really like this place & want to support local businesses too...we hope they'll fine tune the kitchen for quality control, but we'll definitely give them another chance as we want to give the benefit of the doubt this time. Edit 8.18.23 My veggie pho was great, my husband's rice plate with tofu & veggies was quite undercooked. We do like veggies stir fried, but still crisp, but cabbage, broccoli, carrots were still raw, not well heated, so not sure why cook would undercook it like that. Rice was perfectly cooked. Salad on the side was fresh with a large slice of cucumber & we love the ginger dressing. Server was attentive, helpful, & polite. We didn't complain to him about the uncooked veggies, we've been coming to this place since they opened many years ago. Edit 4/19/19: Far too much salt being used, especially in the pho. They've always been heavy on salt, but it's worse for the past few months to the point that we can't eat here anymore. Requesting easy on the salt results in bland food, no underlying spices or flavor. We all drink water for hours after eating there, hadn't really tuned into this until recently after not having eaten at Saigon Cafe for several weeks. Lowered rating to 3 stars for using so much salt instead of spices. Delicious Viet food, friendly service. Reasonably priced. Quick take out available. Point system to earn free food is quite generous. Good portions. Free street parking.
