New Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant II

Came here with a friend of mine because i kept passing by them on my daily walks. I got the courage to try one day and i was actually disappointed. I ordered the meatball pho while my friend ordered the grilled pork with vermicilli noodles. She thought the noodles were a little hard and not as flimsy as she thought. The grilled pork was well cooked though. The meatball pho, everything was wrong with it for me. The broth was watered down and flavorless. It was supposed to have a beef broth taste but it wasnt there. The meatballs were stale, not as squishy as i usually have them. The noodles were mushy and not as delicately fined/thinned out. Overall, she finds herself coming back here again. As for me, not so much. Really disappointed in how the pho turned out that i cant find myself trying another dish.

The worst service ever. Can't tell you how the food was since we never got waited on and finally left. Grossly understaffed.

Was not the best of choices for a pho place. The food was rather unattractive and the service the same until you get the check. You can find this place in the middle of a pretty crowded area and you follow the stairs downward. The area is huge to my surprise and I think possibly pre Covid they were a lot busier. The food arrived and the spring rolls had a funny not so appetizing scent to them so we left them there. The pho was rather bland and had no taste of herbs and spices. I don't know if this is their regular pho or someone else cooked it but it was not good. The best thing I ordered was the beer. I'm hoping that maybe during COVID their regular chef left and that is his might be a stand in. However with the size of the place I hope the pho gets better because the place is huge and can seat a ton of people!!

Food is mediocre with downtown price tags. There are better/other options in the area in that pricing range.

I liked the food and I liked the people who worked there. Unfortunately, they only open weekdays on certain hour as of late. The problem is they use Doordash ordering system for online orders. If you don't know they are open that day/time and place your order, you are out of money. Yes, they would not only take your order, they even mark it as picked up!! I ordered on a day when they were closed, yet claimed I picked up my order. Doordash has a strict no refund policy- NO MATTER WHAT. That was my last time ever ordered from them.

Unfortunately they don't have pork skin anymore. I came here because I was craving vietnamese broken rice and I it was the only place selling it in downtown.I got the grilled pork with pork skin and egg. The egg wasn't very crispy and the inside was completely cooked through. The pork flavor was OK but didn't have a grill char. The main problem was that the dish was charged the same as if they had pork skin but there wasn't. The fish sauce also tasted diluted and I could only taste the sugar.There are better places in Little Saigon. The food here seems inauthentic and doesn't have the vietnamese flavors that make it great.

This is a cool Vietnamese restaurant located in a basement below street level. But don't let the fact that it's in a basement discourage you. The atmosphere and ambiance matches any place above ground.Meander through the street level door, and then glide down a flight of stairs. You'll be cordially seated at a very comfortable table of your choice.Customer service was perfect and the food comes out quick.The name of the restaurant obviously implies Vietnamese food, but I made an amateur mistake and ordered a traditional Thai dish - Pad Thai with Tofu. It was good, but what the hell was I thinking? I should have taken this opportunity to order a Vietnamese dish!The Pad Thai with Tofu is listed on the menu as "hot and spicy" but it wasn't spicy at all. The dish was plentiful and it sold for a fair price of $13.50. However, it was a little different than traditional Pad Thai. This dish included red and green bell peppers which are not in traditional Pad Thai. It could have also used more peanuts, and peanut sauce. It was still quite tasty and I devoured all of it, but I recommend trying a traditional Vietnamese dish at this place if you visit. Vegan and vegetarian options abound here, so check them out, if that's your thing. It's not strictly vegetarian though, so feel free to invite your carnivore friends.

When I come downtown Seattle- I eat here! One of my faves for pho. Very delicious meatball pho and tofu. Love their broth. Very friendly service. It's a quiet location downstairs. I love their food, service and nice and peaceful. It's a nice escape from the noise and hustle n bustle from the downtown world above.

Unfortunately, this place was very far from our expectations. The portions were small considering its price. The pho soup was VERY salty and sour. We felt like there should have been more meet. Service was very mid too.

I really wanted to like this place. I love that it is in a basement and is very clean. Service was fine and quick. I am not a pho snob by any means, but generally get it when I have Vietnamese food. Unfortunately, this was some of the worst pho I have ever had. it tasted more like simple broth without the addition of key pho spices. However, the shrimp spring rolls were larger than most places and absolutely delicious. I wouldn't go back just for those.
