Saigon Restaurant

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - #9 of Large Pho with rare steak and tendon and #15 of Bun Bo Hue which is a spicy broth with beef and pork. Decent portion with clear pho soup but it was on the sweeter side. The spicy broth was our first time trying things like that and we enjoyed the flavor but it was quite oily. Service: 3/5 - very quick service and to the point so not friendly. First time so we didn't know you just walk up and tell them the table number to pay. Unfortunately, We couldn't tell if they were talking to us or at other workers some of the times. Ambiance: 3/5 - very compact store with sticky tables and condiments. Value for price: 5/5 - just under $15 per dish after tax which seems reasonable for the area and we enjoyed the food.

This place used have good food, great portion and reasonable prices.. Now they have raised the prices and lowered the portion..There are better Vietnamese restaurants than this.. Heard multiple customers complaining about the portion size..

This is a small restaurant that gets pretty packed quickly during dinner hours. Lots of parking since it's in a bigger shopping center. The food was very tasty and the portion sizes matched their prices very well. Their ice water is more like tap water so I strongly don't recommend that. I do prefer when restaurants have at least filtered water but that wasn't a big deal. The only reason why I marked them down was solely based on their customer service. Not bad service, but i feel they could have done way better. We were ready to order for a while. we made eye contact and even raised our hand so someone could take our order. Despite doing both, the worker just looked away and continued doing what they were doing. I thought maybe that wasn't that worker's role to take order, but eventually it was the same worker that finally took our order. Again, it wasn't too significant, but we definitely felt that we were ignored a bit.

This is a solid place if you're in the mood for some pho. I was a bit overwhelmed with the menu, but other yelp reviews really convinced me to try the garlic chicken.The garlic chicken was amazing and next time I come here, I'll definitely be getting it again. The pho was good and so were the spring rolls.

Food is authentic and delicious! Never disappoint and not super salty.Small and quiet restaurant .Service is quick and fresh warm food cook to order.

I was advised to come here for their pork chop and it didn't disappoint. I got their shredded pork skin and egg roll with rice. Was a bit disappointed there was no boiled pork butt meat with the shredded pork skin.When compared to the broken rice restaurants in SJ or Sactown, it could be more flavorful such as with chicken skin, but for Modesto, this passes. Service was quick but I was the only one in the restaurant. Lots of seating.

It helps that we're just a block away! We love this place. We are regulars here, wherever we want to indulge in a bowl of hot pho, there's no going wrong with Saigon..!

This is the spot!!food is always great!!fast service,if your looking for the nicest restaurant,smiles and happy workers,,then this place may not be for you!!food 5star!!price 5star!!

Not sure if it's under new management but the quality is not the same. They also need to update their menu because the #1 did not even come with all the meats. They might as well make it a vegetarian with the amount of meat in there

The couple who run this shop appear to be honest and hard working folks. But the furnishings look 10 years overdue for an update. The food is barely passable. It's just not good. I think the kitchen is not well stocked. The menu is too big and ambitious for what they can offer. It's just another Chinese restaurant. I would pay $20 for a legit tofu banh mi on a decent baguette. Sometimes it's best to pursue a different line of work. I'm not sure Saigon should stay open. To the owners I would say: Start over doing something else. Or start over with a new restaurant. It's never to late to follow your dreams!
