Pho Saigon

Came here for lunch with the family. The location was clean and put together. The location was also appropriately themed. The restaurant had only one server and you could tell he was feeling it. The place wasn't packed and I'm glad for his sake. He took our order relatively fast and he delivered the food as it came out. The food was good and we ordered a variety of items. Overall it was a good experience.

Came here on a whim since our planned dinner spot was too busy and wait was too long. Decided to find a nice sit down dinner without waiting time close to Blue Oaks, Roseville. Right over the bridge in Rocklin, we ended up at Pho Saigon. They accommodated our party of 10 rather quickly (called to reserve and drove right over). This is a comfortable local hole in the wall Pho spot with delicious and LARGE bowls for pho meals. Food was perfect for a cold night, place was clean, parking was generous, staff was friendly, and service was prompt. What more can you ask for? Tables and seating are limited, so you may want to call ahead for wait time inquiries and possible reservations for larger parties. We plan to try other pho spots but this restaurant surely sets a high standard for all others nearby!

I ordered chicken with fried rice to pick up. The order was ready on time but that's the only good thing I can say about this restaurant. The fried rice tasted of old grease. I was so hungry, that I had to eat some of it, so I drowned it in soy sauce to try and cover the grease. I still was only able to eat about a third of the rice and chicken before throwing it out.

Really wanted to like this place but it looks like I'll be sticking to our usual pho places in the future.Happened to stop by Recreate (arts and crafts thrift store) next door. It was around lunch time so I decided to place an order with Pho Saigon before entering Recreate. The employee was friendly and the environment inside was pleasant--lots of tables for indoor dining. I had looked on Yelp to see the menu, so it was easy to place my order. I ordered a #41 (pork chop plate with noodles option) and a #6 (charbroiled ground pork spring roll). These dishes were very close to what I order at our favorite Vietnamese spot. Seemed a bit pricey at $29 but maybe it's Rocklin or maybe it's post-Covid pricing. After browsing Recreate for around 15-20 minutes, I returned to Pho Saigon where my order was waiting for me. Took it home and unwrapped the spring rolls. It looked very similar to other restaurants so I was curious if it would taste as good. Immediately noticed that the spring rolls were of different sizes (usually the ones we get are very uniform) and not wrapped as neatly as we were used to. Taste-wise, it was very disappointing. Just kinda meh. The fried pieces of egg roll skin (?) inside was stale and hard to chew. But I figured, maybe they're just not good with appetizers.Tried the #41. Portion size seemed decent. There was a large salad/veggie portion with bean sprouts, lettuce, radish and carrots, Vermicelli noodles (I opted for these instead of rice). steamed egg meatloaf, fried shrimp cake and an unknown substance that I found out later was "shredded pork skin." Everything was just....ok. The steamed egg meatloaf had a different consistency than I was used to. The fried shrimp cake was either overcooked, burnt, fried too many times, or old. Can't figure it out. It was so hard to chew. The shredded pork skin had a very strong smell/taste to it. At first I thought it was some kind of fish skin. I just couldn't eat it because the taste and texture was too foreign to me. Maybe some people like that strong smell/taste but I just couldn't eat it without feeling squeamish. It was good to check out another Vietnamese restaurant in the area. There are quite a few in the area. But it looks like we'll be sticking to our normal favorites (Pho Cali and KT Noodle).PROS:* Large portion sizes* Convenient shopping center with lots of parking* 5% discount when paying with cash* Yelp check-in offer* Vast menuCONS:* Prices seem high* Food is just ok in taste

My wife and I were shopping at the Galleria and it was around dinnertime after we finished. I was trying to find a Vietnamese restaurant that we went to in the area previously. I saw this one nearby and figured it was the one. It was not the one I thought it was. We've been here before but it was closed for a holiday I think. Anyway, when we entered there were plenty of empty tables but they were full of dishes. We had to wait a few minutes until they were cleared. Super busy or just no one to clean up. My wife got the seafood noodles and I got the beef stew noodles and a side of short ribs. The beef stew was very tender. Probably the best I've had. Most places are much tougher to chew since it's pretty lean. The short ribs were also very tender. Possibly used a pressure cooker for it. Fall off the bone. I highly recommend Pho Saigon for the food.

Definitely not authentic Vietnamese food. The pho was on the sweeter side. The bowl was big however the noodles and meat were very little. They came with a complimentary drink of Thai or jasmine milk tea. The drinks were so bland and way too sweet. We also order the combination pork chop rice plate and the shredded skin was stale. It has this weird sour taste. Service were super slow. Waited forever for our food. Would not go back again.

My wife and I were craving Pho. We decided to check out this place. The Pho was fantastic! Service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed. We will be back!

Takeout Order My co-worker found this place for takeout. They have an extensive menu but I always get a type of rice plate when ordering Vietnamese food. I placed an order for their Com Tom Thit Nuong (#41) which is grilled meat and grilled shrimp. The pork is thinly sliced and charred creating a crunchy, caramelized crust and yet super tender and juicy, very flavorful from the marinade. Add dipping sauce and mmm, mmm, mmm The grilled shrimp came skewered grilled until golden brown. Hints of lemongrass, fish sauce and spices are some of the flavors I could taste. The meal came with rice and salad and, of course, that dipping sauce that is so addicting. Review #3149

Ordered online via yelp.Ordered the house special phoa(all meat)Pros:1-Huge serving2-Flavorful broth3- noodles good for 2-3 peopleCons:1- too much noodles not a lot of meat :(2- some pieces are a lil tough to chewOtherwise, just for the flavor, it is ok.

I've been looking for a favorite Pho place since moving here almost a year ago, and I have finally found it! The portions were great, it tasted delicious, and the packaging worked out great, which can be tricky for takeout Pho. I also got the tofu with vermicelli dish that was recommended, and I loved it. Everything came as expected, and I can't wait to try more Things!
