Saigon Restaurant

It was Sat. around 7, and I was sat immediately - and served just as quickly. Service was attentive but not smothering. My table and booth were clean. Restaurant is well decorated and uncluttered with one TV playing Vietnamese cooking and another rotating images of menu favorites. Pho tai tasted like it should. Light broth, toothsome noodles, super thinly shaved beef that was easy to chew, tons of fresh herbs, and just the right amount of onion. Happy first pho in ABQ! Thank you, Saigon Restaurant!

It's funny, I've noticed this place forever and just never stopped in. I finally did recently and was pleasantly surprised! I wanted something vegetarian with noodles and this didn't disappoint. The dish was quite good and very flavorful. I also had the Vietnamese coffee and hadn't had it served as a hot water pour in pot setup. That was unique. I will definitely be back to explore more of the vegetarian options and see what else can be made vegetarian. Our server was very attentive and super friendly - no complaints on the service. I can't believe it took me so long to get myself in there!! I will be back.

Quick and clean meal. They had 4 vegetarian options for meals & my server was really knowledgeable on recommendations. Service was super fast, meals were large.

Great service and Awesome food! I've had the Pho and the deep fried catfish and both are excellent!!

Charming, Delightful locally owned restaurant. Good vegetarian options and excellent service. Check this place out.

Probably some of the best pho I've had in ABQ, and we definitely have great pho here due to our beautiful Vietnamese community. I love the rare steak pho - can't go wrong with that! The broth is delicious. Only thing is I wish the portions were a bit bigger but that's only because it's so delicious

I've come here for lunch a few times and finally tried it for dinner on Saturday, January 22, 2022. My wife and I arrived at approximately 6:15 PM and there were only three other tables. She'd never been here so we order two pork and shrimp spring roll appetizers with peanut sauce and a pot of hot jasmine tea. The light tea really hit the spot and the opaque rice paper wraps showed off the large shrimp nestled inside the spring rolls. These were fresh rolls and stuffed with ingredients. My wife ordered the beef pho and I had the broken rice with shredded pork, grilled prawns and a steamed egg pie with meatloaf. I added some hot oil to my dish and it took it to the next level. The broken rice had tiny grain rice and the tender and moist shredded pork dissolved in my mouth. My prawns were super large and the steamed egg pie may have looked a bit suspicious but tasted marvelous. Let me just say they have generous portions. My wife barely finished her pho and I had to waddle out of the restaurant like an over engorged duck. For 2 springs rolls, a pot of jasmine tea, and two main courses we paid a total of $37.31. Not too pricey for all that food.

I have loved this place for decades. Literally. Vicki the owner is a delight and set me up to love Vietnamese food. Whenever I come back to ABQ I gotta stop in!

I had tried this place once before and had gotten a vegetarian soup. I went in again for a dinner meal. I had the #79 combo plate of lemongrass chicken, fried prawns, steamed veggies and fried rice. The fried prawns and steamed veggies were fine. The chicken was really chickeny (eggy smell, funky taste) and did not have any lemongrass flavor. The fried rice had chunks of pork/bacon. It was the first time I had seen this in fried rice and jt was not mentioned on the menu. The plate cost about 15.50 dollars and I think I ate about $3 of it. I also had the Thai iced tea for $6 and it was fine. Overall it was a disappointing experience.

Excellent service, food came out fast and piping hot, everything tasted so fresh and delicious. At a great price this is 100% worth it. It's a quite atmosphere, very comfortable and clean :-)
