The service was prompt and polite. Cleanliness is definitely important to the staff as there were specific posted instructions in the restrooms for how they should be maintained in English and Vietnamese. The food was great. The egg rolls were some of the best I've ever had. I can't remember the last time I had Asian food without any kind of soy or shrimp sauce but today I didn't need it. I can't wait to come back and try more of what's on the menu here.
Great pho and they have boba tea!. Great pho at a very reasonable price with super fast service. Great way to eat healthy close to the University.
Mega bowl!. Huge bowl with rich flavor at affordable price. Perfect for any hungry student.
Hands down the best Vietnamese
place in tucson. clean cheap and delicious
I stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't that crowded with college students at home studying. This restaurant is kind of tucked away at University Square near the Front Gate to The University of Arizona. I tried the standby Pho with thinly sliced beef and added lots of jalapeno slices and sprouts. This Pho is some of the best in Tucson. I even got to watch the Match Play Golf Tournement.
Baguettes, Pho, and Boba!. Saigon Pho has three things that make it stand out from other Vietnamese places.
First off, their baguette sandwiches are delicious and cheap (not to mention filling). The bread is baked in-house daily and I have yet to find another place that offers such great sandwiches. I recommend the BBQ Pork Baguette for first-timers
The Pho is also special: instead of the traditional beef broth, they use chicken broth which results in a lighter and more refreshing soup.
Saigon Pho's boba smoothies are outstanding. They offer traditional flavors such as strawberry or pineapple as well as more exotic (yet strangely delicious) flavors such as durian or jack fruit. My personal favorite is the coffee smoothie boba which is prepared with a shot of Vietnamese coffee brewed the moment after you order it.
Their other menu items are also good. The spring rolls are packed with a lot of meat and are very affordable. Number 32, the Pork with Vermicelli is outstanding.
Went here once and immediately loved it. The atmosphere is nice and the front desk lady was nice and very helpful. We got our food quite quickly and loved it. The rare beef tenderloins and pork dumplings are delicious and I will definitely come here again. 🤤
Izzy and Gigi were the most amazing badass people ever. They made the experience here so wonderful! It was a wonderful dinner experience. I really hope the ownership sees their value and treats them well!
Quite and beautiful restaurant! Staff are very friendly. They have a great menu that contains some tasty dishes. Very recommended
Great selection of vegan and vegetarian items. Their broth is nice, I loved the cabbage.
This is our favorite pho place in town. We come here at least every other week. There are options for vegans and they’re one of the only places that have a good vegetable broth for pho.
My issue with the visit today was the girl behind the counter who took our order. She must’ve been no older than maybe 19, a brunette with glasses and a huge camo jacket. She kept her earphones in the entire time, including while we were ordering. Didn’t say anything else other than the total.
When our food came out I asked for a different sauce than originally comes with the spring rolls because I’m not a fan of peanut sauce. She argued with me that they didn’t have it, and cut me off while I was speaking then walked away.
We’re been eating here for years and they always have the sauce. She could’ve at least went to the kitchen to make sure. I have never experienced anyone so rude at this place. If she doesn’t like food service maybe she should go work elsewhere.
The pho combo was fantastic and LARGE! The service was good too.
Nice and small. Cute. I had to chuckle at the switched caps on the hoison and sriracha bottles. The staff was friendly.
I wanted to try this place for some takeout on the way home from work, was not disappointed. The pho was delicious, and the banh mi was MASSIVE and very tasty. I will definitely be eating here again, maybe even dining in next time as the dining room looked very cozy.
Yummy!
Our server was extremely nice and our food came out fast.
Their Mango smoothie was amazing.
I must say that I have mixed feelings about Saigon. The food is amazing. I always enjoy it here. Unfortunately the owners need to take a look at management and staffing. They tend to run out of baguettes more than occasionally and make us wait for our smoothies till we are are done with our meals. They say they are backed up. Well that would be a management situation. I don’t blame the staff other than they don’t communicate very well. As if they hate their jobs. I will continue to eat here when the need arises and hope that the owners will delegate priorities a little better. Oh. And I’ve had to clear my own table more than once since my party usually doesn’t exceed three people and I don’t want to take up a larger table. Other than that the banh mi was definitely on point.
