" After hearing great things, I finally decided to try Saigon Star. Unfortunately, my experience was not what I expected. The pho I ordered arrived with lukewarm broth and the meat was overcooked. Service was friendly but slow, which added to my disappointment. While the ambiance was pleasant, the food didn't live up to the reviews. I might give it another chance but I won't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Definitely a solid spot for pho! The broth was delicious and comforting. I was impressed with how big the portions were—it was more than enough for lunch. I also enjoyed the atmosphere; it was quiet, which makes it a nice place to relax. Although the service could improve a bit, I would still recommend Saigon Star for a good meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an interesting experience at this restaurant. The food came quickly, which was great, but my shrimp fried rice was really bland. It seemed poorly executed compared to the other dishes on the menu. The setting was nice, but the service felt a bit dismissive at times. I might give it another try for their pho, which I heard is their specialty. Maybe next time will be better! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped at Saigon Star after a long day at work. The service was quick, and I appreciated that. The pho was hearty with lots of fresh ingredients, exactly what I needed. My only complaint would be the small amount of basil they provided, as I always like to add more. Overall, a satisfying experience, and I would return next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" The staff here are super nice, and the restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere. I decided to try their beef curry. While it was decent, it didn't wow me the way I expected. The noodles in my pho were a bit overcooked. I see a lot of potential for this place to improve, but until then, I might look elsewhere for my Vietnamese fix. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stopped by for a quick meal during a busy Saturday. While the food was decent, I found my chicken curry to be a bit on the bland side. The spring rolls were fantastic, though! Service was friendly but quite slow. The ambiance is inviting, making it a nice spot to unwind despite the wait. Overall, a so-so experience, but I might return for the spring rolls alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, my experience at Saigon Star was not great. The food was slightly off, as the chicken had an unusual smell. I was concerned about food safety but didn't want to make a fuss. The waiter was attentive but seemed overwhelmed when the place got busy. I might skip this restaurant in the future unless I hear significant improvements. " (*Curated Review*)
