Saigon Bowl-Thornton

I came here expecting just some sesame chicken. Apparently here, that means a whole experience.First things first; The whole get-up inside comes off as a higher class restaurant from the moment you walk inside. We got there before the lunch rush, but were still greeted like high class citizens. Got to our table and drinks almost immediately afterwards. Every server was so incredibly friendly, I have a hard time trying to make a joke on it.The food got to us piping hot, and this sesame chicken may look like your usual Chinese takeout, the first bite I took was nowhere near that. The food had a flavor of legitimate freshness, not just reheated and thrown onto a bowl. Eveb the veggies had a fresh and crispy bite to it all.Definitely a great place to go, don't let the dead mall vibes of the outside fool you. It's pretty amazing.

I've seen garlic butter noodles on Vietnamese restaurant menus a lot but never ordered it. One day at Saigon Bowl, I ordered the garlic butter noodles and they were quite tasty. I shared a plate with my bf but it was a lot of food for two people. The noodles were cooked well and just very flavorful. It was overbearing in garlic flavor or too oily due to the butter. It was pretty great balance. I saw the rice bowls pass by and those look tasty and will need to try next time I'm here. Overall, there's plenty of seating. It was kinda slow when we came here at like 3pm but still had people.

Today I stopped in to try out my favorite cuisine, Vietnamese. Saigon bowl is tucked away in a large shopping center in Thornton just off of I-25.The location was VERY spacious with options to seat large parties. Staff was friendly and attentive to refills and taking orders in good timing. The menu has MANY options with pictures for each item on the entire menu, very awesome those not familiar with Vietnamese cuisine.I ordered the Shaking Beef (Com Bò Lúc Lăc)This has always been one of my favorites dishes. It gets its name from vigorously shaking the pan to evenly cook the meat. This dish always has the most tender soft beef to taste. Comes with a side of rice that is a nice pairing with the veggies and beef. I will be back to try more options soon!

Entered to takeout order online an hour early, and it still wasn't ready when I arrived to pick up. Had to wait for an additional 15 minutes which was a bit inconvenient. The eggrolls were good, I got the Tom Yum soup, and it was a huge portion. Seafood in it was okay and not the most flavorful. I'd try something different next time.

The food came out really quickly and it was actually really good. I would recommend the Pho Thai it was amazing! I'm definitely coming back!

Love it place, we randomly stopped by once and now it's our favorite pho restaurant to go to. The food is great and the the staff is so sweet and welcoming.

Amazing service, very attentive to the costumers! & the food is always amazing ! Really recommend this place !

We had sat down ordered food while we were waiting we seen the younger server pick her nose then she proceeded to hand people plates we immediately cancelled our order and left UNSANITARY AND DISGUSTING

I come here ar least twice a week very good food and the service is very good friendly and they serve a good portion of food

This is my favorite Vietnamese place. Everything is good, especially the egg rolls and combination noodle bowl. Would definitely recommend. Nice ambiance and service as well.
