We had never been here before...we always depend on reviews to determine where to eat. In this case the reviews guided us and I must say...it was the best! I will definitely be coming back! I did forget to take pictures of the rest of our food. We started with appetizers and it was amazing! Highly recommended đź‘Ś đź‘Ť Service was great as well! You can't go wrong!
First time visitor. Great service. Great food. Great atmosphere.
Prices on website (linked to google maps) are outdated and inaccurate. My dish was $2 more. Please fix online website prices.
We were in town for the weekend and decided to get food for the trip home. They packaged everything for extremely well for the drive back down to Alamogordo. The Bahn minh and vermicelli noodle with mixed meat was fantastic. The food was amazing once we got home, even after being in to go boxes.
3.5 stars. No credit cards and cash only due to busted machine. Slow service as owner was keeping things lean. Guessing the daughter and boyfriend showed up 30 minutes later after we had been waiting a long while to help out with all the tables.
Chicken wings were great while fresh spring rolls were meh. Wife liked her Hu Tieu Hai San ($12.95). My Bun Gao Xao Thap Cam ($14.95) was spicy with intense flavors. The boys had Pho Xe Lua ($14.95) and Com Thit Nuong ($12.95). Neither of them left any part of the entree uneaten so mission accomplished.
One Cafe Sua ($5.95) to go caught me off guard as the price on the menu was $2.95 but guessing the upcharge for to go merits $3?
Long story short, good food. Poor service. Long wait. Questionable on whether you should try this spot if time is limited.
Wow, wow, wow. Can I give more than 5 stars?
I actually didn’t think I really enjoyed Vietnamese food that much, having tried it a few times when living in Portland. I gave it another shot this evening for dinner, and I already want to go back.
We each had a grilled pork banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich). There are nine banh mi selections on the menu. Next time I’ll try something completely different and do the sardine banh mi. The grilled pork banh mi was exceptional. The baguette and pork were warm, while the vegetables were cool and crisp. Accompanying the banh mi was an oil/sauce you can pour over or dip into.
The second dish we tried was splitting the CC8 - Com Chien Duong Chau, a combination cantonese-style egg fried rice plate with shrimp, pork, beef, chicken, Chinese sausage, chopped green onion, bean sprouts, and carrots. The server asked if we wanted a fried egg on top, and I’m glad we said yes. The middle of the yolk was runny, which usually I hate, but very much enjoyed in this dish. I was surprised to find the five meat selections in the dish weren’t overwhelming at all; they’re evenly distributed as to not overwhelm the dish.
The service was fine, but the food far outweighs the need for continued check-ins. Be aware the fountain drink sodas are not refillable, but they’re very large and you’re also provided water as well. Be aware there’s a small sign on the table saying there have been some menu price changes, so ask your server at the time of ordering if that’s a concern. The difference for our bill was $0.50 per banh mi, so a negligible amount overall.
Given this restaurant has convinced me I actually love Vietnamese, I actually enjoy runny egg yolks, and I already want to go back and explore their menu, it’s an easy 5/5 for me.
What an amazing meal! Rice was so fresh and soft, runny egg, and delicious sauce to add to my food. My girlfriend's clay pot had the most vibrant vegetables! She hates mushrooms but thoroughly enjoyed this dish 👏 10/10 from service to food to atmosphere 🥲
When it comes to Vietnamese cuisine, it can be a hit or a miss. This place is in walking distance from the hotel. The pho is amazing! Full of favor, the garnishes are fresh. The doughnut is 1/4 the size that I am use to get. I was surprised to see some clay pot dishes on the menu. Not many Vietnamese restaurant offer clay pot dishes. We were not sure what to order, waitress made some suggestions and the dish was very good. Friendly staff, kept water glass full.
Food was so good portions were small but flavorful .
I used to eat here when Saigon City was located on the South East side of the city. It's some of my favorite Vietnamese food out there. There's all the classics and plenty of new dishes to try, even if you eat a lot of Asian food. If you like spicy, this place can make it HOT!
Found this a block away from our hotel. The food was good. Service was courteous and prompt. The establishment is very clean and we felt comfortable dining here. The seating in the booth we sat at probably needs maintenance as it had a huge dip in it and was not too "comfy". --But yes, try their pho, their spring rolls, you'll like it!
One of the best bowls of bun bo hue ive ever had. I requested extra spicy and was not disappointed. For anyone who doesn't know what bun bo hue is i encourage you to start your journey here because i was served a rich flavorful bowl of goodness. Pho has nothing on bun bo hue and Saigon city nailed it perfectly and a clean beautiful restaurant to enjoy it in. I always forget to take a pic before i start into my meal but trust me you will not be disappointed to stop in for some!!
Very good Vietnamese food but at a high price tag.
I went to Saigon City for a company lunch. I got a bowl of soup that wasn’t pho but was a lot like pho. The soup was delicious with a well flavored broth and a fun variety of ingredients.
Even without appetizers and drinks the tab came out to $17 per person which is a bit steep for a bowl of soup, even one as delicious as this one.
Absolutely delicious! The menu is huge and offers so many selections. We ordered the tofu/veggie spring rolls (A4), Pho Chay (vegetarian pho P1) and Mi Xai Chay (MX1). Wow! I love pho and I love vegetable soup. I was very excited to have an option for a veggie pho soup and was flavorful and had a wide variety of veggies. Seriously it had everything: carrots, baby corn, mushrooms, bok choy, asparagus, cabbage and more— I’m used to paying extra for this many veggies in my soup. It was fantastic and I already want it again! My husband ordered the Mi Xai Chay, veggies with tofu and soft noodles. He really liked it but wished there were more noodles. The spring rolls were ok the small side (which I prefer because when they are too big it’s a little overwhelming)and served with peanut sauce.
Nice ambiance. No liquor license yet but they are working on it and should have one soon.
A must try if you like Vietnamese food!
They have been in Albuquerque for a very long time, 20+ years. They moved into this new location recently.
One of my favorite authentic Vietnamese eats period!!
Very good Vietnamese food. Hot and fresh. A must try for anyone who loves Vietnamese. Best hot wings in town. Chicken lemongrass bowl will haunt you. Spring " happy" rolls are a must.
I found this little gem one day when I was looking for something different. I chose the location near 25 the way and Jefferson. No beer or liquor sales when I went but that won't matter. The aromas and food coming out of that kitchen was all I needed. Fast, friendly service. Food was hot and delicious. I will be back. Need to try more of the menu items.
