Saigon Fast Food

I’m giving this restaurant four stars primarily because my wife loves the Pho here. At other Vietnamese restaurants, she usually has to season it with other sauces or add basil or bean sprouts to get the flavor combination she likes. But she never has to do anything with the pho here. So no issues there. I’d stay clear of any of the other dishes, though. The Pad Thai (pictured) was incredibly bland and, honestly, the worst I’ve ever had. I lived in Thailand and, although I’m no expert, I know my way around the cuisine. The flavor was nothing of a Pad Thai dish, and I could tell the color was all wrong. The chicken was much too fatty. And the peanuts tasted rotten. I ate maybe half of it, and finished my wife’s pho instead. From that standpoint, I’d give the restaurant two or three stars at best. I’ve certainly had better Vietnamese food, but if you’re just wanting some pho, this place is solid.

I love Phó and when I moved to Greenville a little over a year ago besides learning how to get around I needed to learn where to eat! So this spot is nearby to my home and work, which is a bonus. It may not have much for atmosphere, no music or tv’s, but at times I find it refreshing to just focus on the food! I have tried multiple items off the menu, which by the way is extensive. I always test the Phó with a basic beef phó. Their broth is remarkable, and its a large bowl! I can’t help but order spring rolls, but then I cant finish the phó. Haha! No regrets! This is a family run business. Its kept clean and the prices are affordable. Its a small dining room so its best to travel with a small group. The photo I have posted is of #60, which is currently my nee favorite! It has shrimp wontons, and pork! Amazing!
