Saigon Restaurant

We're so glad to be back here for the second time! This place has a lovely, cozy atmosphere and the staff are incredibly friendly. The pho is absolutely amazing - I'm hooked! Thanks to them, I'll definitely be coming back. And what a lovely touch - receiving fresh fruit after the meal makes you feel right at home.

Came here on a Saturday around 7:30 pm. There was plenty of parking and only one group inside. We were greeted and seated immediately. The women working were all quick, attentive, and friendly. The inside is spacious and has a lot of Asian art and decoration. I decided to get Appetizers 1 and 8 for the pork egg rolls and Vietnamese crepe for the two of us to share. For entrees my boyfriend got the large N13. Hot and spicy beef soup and I got the large N5. Egg noodle wonton soup. The pork egg rolls came first. They were crispy and flavorful but the vinegar dipping sauce was weak and the only vegetables were 2 slices of cucumber. I assume most of the patrons for this restaurant don't appreciate a strong dipping sauce or wrapping the egg rolls in veg. I wouldn't get egg rolls from here again because i didn't think it was worth $12.50 compared to other places I've had. The crepe was good and crispy. No complaints here besides the dipping sauce. They provided lots of veg (but I would have liked some mint & Thai basil, they did have a lot of cilantro). The crepe wasn't gigantic like it normally is but had a lot of shrimp and bean sprouts. I really enjoyed my soup as it was pretty flavorful but a little on the sweet side. The noodles were interesting, I've never had egg noodles that looked like them. There was a lot of bbq pork, shrimp, and wontons. I think people who are more sensitive to trying new things (nothing wrong with that!) but WANT to try new things would find this is a good restaurant to try. Not the best Vietnamese ever but still pretty good and a good place to be introduced to the cuisine

This is a lovely local restaurant. The service is decent and attentive. The pho I had was pretty good. I like the broth, as there was no aftertaste, and the toppings were fresh. However, the meat was not my favorite. The ambiance is small and quaint, but the place is very clean and tidy. I believe this will be one of my go-to pho spots in town. PS, the Thai tea was delicious. I pretty much swallowed it. Nice place.

Gave me home cooked meal vibes and a bit of nostalgia of how viet restaurants were growing up in SoCal.

Coming from the valley where Vietnamese restaurants are everywhere finding a good Vietnamese restaurant has been hard finding a here in Bakersfield. I had the PHO and fresh shrimp and pork spring rolls.Spring rolls were good and the PHO was mediocre. Also overpriced I would go there again and do recommended.

Hands down the BEST pho in town. I love the little ladies that run this place they're the best. Highly recommend if you need a good pho fix. Also I recommend the crispy pork roll with the sweet sauce. DELISH

Great food and incredibly fast service. Every employee here is beautiful and has a heart of gold in every way. I feel like I'm at my grandmothers and she just made the best food of her career. Lunch or dinner this place is the winner if you're going anywhere else for Vietnamese food, then you're a sinner.

The Server was super friendly. Interior was pretty outdated, old and dusty, but gave me a legit Asian restaurant vibe, so I was cool with it. The Bahn mi was soooooo good here. Good portion, and it was full of meat and fresh vege. The pork was flavorful and juicy. Pho was good too. I asked if I can get Pho with just tendons(leave out the rest of the meat), and they said we can only order what's on the menu. I clarified by saying just give me the combo Pho but leave out all other meat except for the tendon, and they still refused - which I thought was odd since I wasn't asking for extra tendon in place of the other meats. The Vietnamese crepe was pretty flavorless so wasn't impressed - huge portion though. The plates, utensils and table weren't that clean though. I will prolly return to get Bahn mi to-go and perhaps try some of their spring rolls.

Home-style cooking Ambience simple and service was decentFood prices are moderate and depending on the items some are very good and some are average The pho broth was just fair - not as rich as some other pho. Vegetable fresh and and meat also average Decent overall but not a must return soon

Best Pho in Bakersfield hands down. Service is great and the family owned business will make you feel as if you are truly home. Other items on the menu are great as well, but the Pho is the star. I would give more stars if I could.
