Saigon Shophouse Vietnamese Restaurant

Feeling a little under the weather, I was on the hunt for a comforting bowl of pho. After sifting through a sea of 2- and 3-star options, I stumbled upon this little family-run restaurant with a glowing 4-star rating. Intrigued, I decided to give it a shot--and I'm so glad I did!When we walked in, the place was quiet, giving off a cozy, welcoming vibe. An older gentleman greeted us and told us to choose any table. Within moments of sitting down, we had menus in hand and waters ready--talk about efficient!After taking a few minutes to decide, a younger gentleman came by to take our order. We went for a #1 and a #18, paired with a Thai tea and an iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk. Here's where the magic started: within two minutes, our pho toppings arrived, and before we knew it--less than 10 minutes later--our bowls hit the table.The service? Impeccable. The younger gentleman was incredibly attentive, checking in often and offering refills before our glasses even came close to empty. It's rare to find this level of care and attention to detail, especially in such an unassuming spot.Now, let's talk food. The pho was delicious, with generous portions that more than justified the price. The Thai tea was smooth and perfectly balanced, and the iced coffee? Bold, strong, and exactly what I needed. If I had one tiny critique, it'd be their chili oil--it wasn't quite to my taste, but that's more personal preference than a dealbreaker.This is the kind of place that deserves to thrive. Family-run, humble, and focused on quality service and food, it's a reminder of why small businesses are so special. If you're looking for a great meal with heartwarming hospitality, this is your spot. Give them a visit--you won't regret it!

They have really good food! Their soups are full of flavor and their other menu items are great as well! The staff is very attentive and want to make sure you have the best experience possible. The area is not the greatest, but don't let that stop you! You have to try them out!!

Today is my second time here. I really wanted to try it again to confirm my tastebuds. The service is amazing. Kim, I think she's the owner? I'm not sure. Sweetest lady ever. Came here on a Friday evening and again Monday morning. Both times service was quick. Waited maybe 10 minutes? The food was pipping hot and fresh. Ive tried a few pho spots around town; paradise, Nhos (both locations), pho Phuong nine, LA kitchen(both locations), and some others but I think this has to be my favorite pho. All I could think about was coming back to have this again. The brisket is seasoned, the meatballs are juicy, tripe is okay-bit gamey but still good. The broth is where it's at. Clean tasting, well seasoned--so well seasoned you don't really need to add anything to it. This is my new spot for pho. (5/5)Egg rolls: tasty, on the smaller side but I like my eggrolls smaller because I feel like it's crispier. It's pork and veggies, your standard eggrolls. Good, tasty. (5/5)Grilled pork Banh mi: for a while I enjoyed huong lans grilled pork but then they started skimping on the fillings. And changed the bread. But here the grilled pork is grilled to perfection. You get that charred flavor from the grill. The pickles are good. The cucumber wasn't that fresh. The bread was kind of chewy but I just popped it in the toaster oven and crisp it right up. (4/5)Overall I'm happy. I left happy. My belly is happy. My wallet is happy. Service is great. Food is great. 5/5 would come here again. Highly recommend.

I ate my food so fast I forgot to take a picture. I had the Steak Pho via door dash. This is probably the fastest DoorDash delivery I ever had, so kudos to the restaurant for that. everything came perfectly wrapped, nothing was missing.

The food is delicious, the restaurant is clean, the service is very good, the food comes quickly, no need to wait long, the price is reasonable for the food. I ordered Grilled pork chop & egg and Grilled pork shrimp and eggroll vermicelli, I like it very much and will definitely come back to try other things when I have a chance.

Yum!! We've always passed by never seeing this restaurant but S/O to google maps because this place is a gem! My favorite pho I've had in Fresno. Especially when it comes to the taste, attentive service, cleanliness, and efficiency. We got the medium special and egg rolls, both 10/10. Bonus points for having thai chilis and shrimp paste on the side! The only thing personally is that I like my pho piping hot and my soup got lukewarm real fast.

I am so thankful we gave this restaurant a try.Definitely a hidden gem, it does look a little rough on the outside because of the location. BUT do not let that fool you, once you enter the restaurant.. you enter a spacious and beautiful restaurant. We were greeted we the kindest staff. Food came out quick and everything we ordered was delicious. The pho broth itself does not even need seasoning but of course we had to add spice to it.I will definitely be back whenever I want pho & found out they are on door dash as well. HIGHLY recommend!

Best pho in Fresno!My go to day in and out. This is the best tasting broth and customer service pho shop in town!

The best in town. If you want pho this place is it. Everything here is just on point. And plus Sunday football is here.
