Saigon Flavor

If you're craving a steaming bowl of pho or fresh, flavorful spring rolls with that perfect peanut sauce, this is the spot. The broth is rich, the noodles are just right, and the ingredients always taste fresh. It's honestly one of the best places around for Vietnamese food. I've been coming here for years--both dining in and ordering takeout--and the quality has always been consistent. The portions are generous, the flavors are on point. The staff is always warm and welcoming, making the experience even better.

I love coming here as the food is delicious and reasonably priced. It's also very close to the hotel cluster I stay at while on business trips to Ridgecrest/China Lake. Their soups are all great, the lumpia amazing and, although I saw it too late for this trip, they now also serve some types of dim sum like Shui Mai, steamed bbq pork buns and potstickers/gyoza. The inside is not huge, but clean, the usual server has a loud voice and sometimes phrases things a little odd, but he has good energy and is nice enough. Lots of folks come in for pick-up / take out. I always leave with leftovers, but probably because I over do it and order all my favorites...!

This place is great. I always eat here when I'm in town for work. The food is always consistently good and the service is great. Nice comfortable friendly place. I enjoy the Pad Thai, green curry, beef pho, lumpia and spring rolls. Definitely worth a try if you're ever in Ridgecrest.

Walked in, first red flag was that the floor is sticky, and there was no greeting. Ordered the cream cheese wontons as an appetizer, they were cold and greasy. My entree was brought out and then my wife's didnt come up until 20 minutes later. (She only had Pho) No communication, just ignored us. Once we were finished they never brought a check, we sat for around 30 minutes waiting, with not even a glance towards us from the staff. Eventually we had to wave them down. We won't be back, which is a bummer because it was a staple... I miss the angry, yet attentive, staff that used to work there.

Service has been far too slow the past three times we've been here recently. When food comes to your table before drinks, I begin to think they're disorganized if not just slow. Or when you ask for a plate or silverware and it takes 10 minutes to get it, that's annoying. We walked out once because once you sit for more than 10 minutes and get no water or menu, it's just time to eat somewhere else. We wish they would get their collective sh*t together. The food is still awesome.

One of my favorite places in town. The bahn mi sandwiches, pad thai, thai eggplant and basil are delicious. Really everything is good! They are always so kind and you can't go wrong with anything you order!

This is a very busy pho and Thai food spot, with so many people doing pick-up orders and eating inside. That share a gravel parking lot with several other businesses. We ordered pho, both small and large portions. The small bowl looks small, but contains so much noodles. The pho are worth the price and are a little cheaper than the other spots I have been to. We also tried the sweet sticky rice with mango, which was perfectly sweet. Service was very good and and attentive.

In search of a lunch spot on our long drive back from Mammoth, my wife discovered Saigon Flavor in the city of Ridgecrest near the halfway point. The restaurant is an unassuming Vietnamese-Thai fusion eatery found in a strip mall off of N. China Lake Blvd. Customers appeared to be mostly locals but judging by how busy the establishment was during the lunch hour, it was apparent they have a high number of regular patrons and repeat customers. It was surprising to find that some of the employees appeared to be Vietnamese which lends some credence to its authenticity. I ordered the Thai Iced Coffee and a bowl of Pho Doc Biet with additional Meatball and they both hit the spot! If you should find yourself in Ridgecrest and are craving Vietnamese or Thai cuisine, Saigon Flavor is worth a try.

I was in town for work and was craving Asian food. I found this place and had to give it a try. I'll have to say, this wasn't my favorite place in the area but when you're limited on Asian food in the area, this place will have to do.

Everything was amazing and provided kind service. Everything I ordered was so delicious: pork buns, lumpia, glass noodles, sticky rice with mango. The spicy is in fact spicy! But the sesame balls! I cannot get enough!!! Definitely my favorite part!
