Solid flavors and ok portion size. We both had the pho. The "special" had a nice assortment of different meats. Outdoor dining area is nice. Note that even though it looks like a full service restaurant, you have to order at the counter in back and then they bring the food out to you.
Best Vegetarian (Vegan) Pho broth ever (garlic and ginger based). The turmeric version is similar with a little kick, and if you get either soup without Tofu, then it is also truly soy-free, delicious, and a good portion. Will definitely be coming back!
Their chicken pho tastes like how my mom would make it! When I feel homesick, I love to come here. The atmosphere is very charming, and the food is authentic. I always ask for a second serving of noodles to finish up my broth!
Yum!
The service is great, the restaurant is super clean and the food is soooo good!
I got veggie broth with a side of rice noodles which usually confuses most restaurants, but they didn’t hesitate with my off-menu request. The broth was super flavorful and the noodles were cooked perfectly so that when I got back home(to Carp), they weren’t mushy or overcooked.
My partner got the rare beef pho and loved it. He said the broth was really good and the meat and noodles were perfect.
It was ready quick and everything was packaged well for a to-go order. Had a great experience and will be going back when I’m in the area.
Local Vietnamese restaurant serving up a variety of delicious classic appetizers, entrees, and soups in a colorful open space. Ample seating for groups of all sizes. Friendly and efficient service. Reasonable prices.
Salmon curry with noodle, you’re welcome.
Or are you sick? The chicken pho in beef broth.
Been coming to Saigon’s various Santa Barbara locations for 15 years, and absolutely love the family that owns/operates and food they make.
I've eaten here several times. It is clean and convenient with lots of parking! The food is delicious and it's convenient when I shop on that end at the strip mall.
Actually very good food. Be warned that the heating seems to be always off so bring a winter coat and maybe a hat. Of the few times I’ve been there they usually forget to bring something out, luckily they are very fast so they can bring it quick. It may honestly just be better to order takeout instead of eating at the restaurant, though the wait staff are very nice.
