Saigon Cafe Too

I’ve been coming here for over 7 years now. It’s my go-to Asian restaurant! Best egg rolls and spring rolls in town. Coming from a big city where Vietnamese cuisine is HUGE, this place was the one I always came back to. They bring a little piece of home to Lubbock. Staff has rotated throughout the years but service always remained the same. Very nice people and such a chill spot to go hang out after a long day at work. Never disappoints!

I'm a fan of oriental cuisine so when I found out there was another Vietnamese place near my house, I rushed over to settle my noodle fix. I didn't regret it either. The whole experience was nice (unlike the other place nearby...) Like I said, I was really craving noodles when I went in so I was relieved when I saw that had several different kinds of noodle dishes on their menu, along with some other good stuff. The price range is about $3.25 - $20.50 for entrees and appetizers and $2.50 - $5 for drinks and extras, including the ones in the fridge near the front counter, so it's not too expensive to eat here. The place was relatively clean and tidy and the fish tank nearby was a nice little touch of atmosphere. I wasn't sure why there was a disco ball in the dining room but that's just me. The female cashier, Tammy, was really pleasant as well. I was totally comfortable with her service. As far as food went, I went with the Hu Thieu Saigon: the clear noodle soup, with shrimp, pork, and crab. It was pretty good! The noodles were nice and tender as with the shrimp, and the crab was surprisingly delicious. They even give you a side of bean sprouts and cilantro to put in the soup. The broth was a nice, mild flavor that went well with the noodles. They'll also let you order even more noodles to put in the leftover broth, for an extra $3.75. It's little steep but the clear noodles were kinda hard for them to come by so I let it go. My only complaint was the pork. It was kinda dry... Overall, this is a place I'd totally recommend. I'll be coming back to try something new, next time around. Just be wary as, according to Tammy, the pandemic sometimes makes hours fluctuate a bit.

Amazing as usual. I have been going here for 20 years and it is always excellent. Although there are tons of great food options my favorite is the C-23 shredded pork in garlic sauce. I have never found another restaurant that does it like they do and so consistently. I now live in Austin but when I'm in town I always make it a point to eat here. If you like Vietnamese food definitely give them a shot you will not be disappointed.

We decided to try this place on a recommendation from a coworker. The food was ready fast. It smelled good, my order was correct, and was well packaged for the ride home. That was wear my satisfaction ended. There was hair in my husband's entree and my egg roll. It lacked seasoning and another entree tasted like frozen Chinese food. I was really hoping to find a great Vietnamese place but all I found was disappointment.

My wife and I wanted some brisket pho, according to reviews we were led to Saigon. We walked in and one lady was running food, cleaning tables, and taking orders. Not optimal by any means but given the current state of affairs we overlooked this and opted to stay. There was one family ahead of us and we still waited in line for more than 20 mins. Walked up to order, 2 phos, a shrimp fried rice, 3 canned drinks ($1 each) and 2 egg rolls. The lady rang up all we ordered and the total was $49, I was shocked. I told my wife this better be the best pho we have ever had. The food was delivered pretty quickly. Although in the meantime we had to listen to the lady bussing tables slamming dishes around and moving tables and chairs around like a mad woman, which was so noisy. The pho came out and looked fair at best and the shrimp fried rice had a total of 4 shrimp in it. The pho tasted as it appeared, fair. Most of the meat was very fatty and a oily layer on top of the pho led me to believe it was not fresh. I definitely will not be back for a couple reasons, number 1 is cost (we could have had a steak dinner for those prices, which aren’t posted anywhere on the menu) and number 2 was the subpar food.
