" Severely disappointed with the quality of food in recent visits. The pho broth was bland, and lacked the depth and spices that usually defines an excellent bowl of pho. The setting felt cramped and the service wasn’t attentive. It’s sad to see a long-standing restaurant falter like this. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. Some dishes were phenomenal, while others fell flat. The crispy rolls were delicious, but my pho was just average. The service was friendly but slow. I debated returning, but I think I’ll give it another chance based on their good reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many Vietnamese places, but Saigon stands out for its authenticity. The barbecue pork vermicelli was exactly as I recall from my travels to Vietnam. The flavors are spot on! I had a great experience and will surely return. The only downside might be the long wait times during weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very disappointed with my recent visit. The wait time for food was longer than expected and when it finally arrived, it didn't meet my expectations. My pho felt off, as though the broth had not been simmered properly. Overall, it was a lackluster experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants! The pho was so flavorful, and the portions were generous. I really felt like I was transported to Vietnam while I was dining here. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow during peak hours, but the food is worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not the best experience! The shrimp toast I ordered was quite bland and the service was unexcitable. I expected more interaction or help with the menu but didn't receive that. Atmosphere tired and need updating. Maybe I'm too picky, but I just didn't enjoy my visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh my goodness! The pho here is just heavenly! I was blown away by the richness of the broth and how perfectly cooked the beef was. I also loved the fresh herbs provided on the side. Can agree it’s a bit cozy and could use a renovation, but the food experience overshadows everything else! " (*Curated Review*)
