SaDec Bistro

I had been craving pho for weeks and finally decided to give in. I yelped the nearest pho restaurant and drove over to SaDec Bistro. SaDec is tucked in a large shopping center with other eateries and retail stores. There's plenty of parking.I was greeted warmly as soon as I entered. The space is well-lit, open, and inviting. I asked the nice gentleman behind the hostess stand a few questions before deciding. I opted for the P15. Tofu & Veggies pho as well as an order of A3. Summer Rolls, shrimp only. I sat on a bench while waiting for my order, which didn't take long at all. Once I made it home, I quickly opened the containers. The broth was still hot which was nice. However, I was disappointed by the amount of tofu and vegetables. There were only a few pieces of small tofu cubes and not that many veggies either (see photo). Fortunately, the broth was delicious. It was flavorful. The spring roll also only had very little shrimp pieces; I believe just two shrimps cut in half to make it look like there's four.I knocked off a star for the small amount of protein and veggies as well as lack of veggie or seafood broth options. They only offer beef and chicken broth, though I did enjoy the beef broth. I would order pho here again, but will try a different protein!

Being from the Bay Area, my husband and I have a decently high standard for pho. So, we decided to try this place out. Here are our thoughts: Service - our server was very attentive and friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our food. Ambiance - great for lunch with friends or even date night. It has a very cozy atmosphere. Place is very clean too! Food- HIGHLY RECOMMEND their pho taí. The broth was clean and flavorful. The presentation was very nice too. All the condiments are already at the table. Overall, I would come back again to try their other dishes.

The flavor of the broth is very good. We enjoy eating here. Beware of ordering an extra bowl of just broth is $10 Other places they typically charges four or five dollars.

Needed a pho fix, so thought I'd try SaDec since it was closing time at my usual go to pho place and SaDec was open 30 mins later. Just received one bowl of a steak and meatball pho to go and, while it was tasty, I kept feeling like it was missing something flavor wise. I can't quite pinpoint it though. I can only compare it to my usual place, so I will say that when I get my pho to go at the other restaurant, I am given raw, thin sliced meat to add to my super hot broth and it cooks right when I'm about to eat it. This place had already added the meat (beef), which was thicker and it seemed to be overcooked. It wasn't bad, I'm just used to a more tender meat the other way. I will try this place again since it's closer to my house, but I'm kind of a creature of habit. When I find a dish I like, I will normally only go to that same place to get it. I often find if I stray, then I'm disappointed, which was the case here. I'm not ruling them out though! Let's see if my next visit is different.

Went for dinner tonight and we all enjoyed it. I had the spicy sweet noodles without chicken...very tasty and a nice amount of kick. I don't like that they won't sub more vegetables to replace the chicken...that's pretty lame...but I enjoyed the meal.Plan to return

I'm going to start off by saying their Pho is actually pretty good. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, very zen like feeling and quiet. The server today was good, as it wasn't very busy so he was very attentive and we had no issues with the service.My issues were that Pho and Vietnamese food in general should be a relatively affordable meal. I was looking for a place I could come to every week as we just moved from California and would love to have a place I could get a bowl of pho and not feeling like I have to work extra hard that day. We got a beef and rice plate, basic egg rolls, spring rolls, steak pho and a udon and the bill was $94 NINETY FOUR DOLLARS. I mean the audacity to charge this for pho/comfort food that's so cheap to make is mind boggling. On top of the prices the guy said they charge extra for additional cilantro and onion. Fine, no problem, but the dish he brought to me of the extra veggie was literally non existent. He gave me a small little plate with barely anything on it. I don't care how good your pho is, I had Michelin rated pho in California for half the price. This owner is alienating people and keeping them away from his food because not only most won't and can't afford it but there's no way in hell i would ever come back to pay 110 dollars for a family of four to have pho.

Prices here are too high based on flavor and amount of food you're getting. Trying to figure out why the prices are so high here when you can get something similar about 10 minutes away. I travel often to California for work and SaDec's prices are higher. Got my drink in a can, they do not have a soda dispenser. I walked to Phoenix Botanical Garden for half a day in the heat, SaDec's AC was nice and working well.

The beef broth is the best I've ever had! I eat here several times a week, usually ordering the Sliced Steak Pho. It's a couple bucks more than your average bowl of pho, but it's also higher quality and much more flavorful. I recommend this place to all of my friends and family, seriously a favorite of mine.

Self serve seating when you walk in, clean restaurant, and friendly staff. Chicken Fried Rice was $20.50 and Pho with Meatballs was $16.95. Overpriced, but understandable with the current economy. We won't be visiting again until prices are reasonable for customers.

Portions and quality have gone down. Lemon grass shrimp is no longer breaded as it was before. Luckily I can cook and made the exact meal at home. Not very difficult at all!
