Taste of Saigon

Permanently closed

Vietnamese Restaurant $ 4.1Google (583) Unclaimed


Taste of Saigon is a casual eatery that has both strengths and weaknesses. Many customers enjoy the generous portions and friendly service, but a consistent theme among reviews is the lack of authenticity in dishes like pho, with some expressing disappointment in the flavor and preparation. While the restaurant offers a decent dining experience, it may not satisfy those seeking authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

" Every time I visit, I expect that the food will be as good as I remember. The delicious egg rolls never fail to impress, although my pho tends to lack depth and flavor. Portions are ample and indeed worth the price. Staff is friendly but a bit hurried. I appreciate their effort, but there seems to be a fundamental issue with consistency across dishes. Overall, a mixed bag, but still a regular spot for me! " (*Curated Review*)

" I return to Taste of Saigon every few months for a quick dinner. The food isn’t the most authentic Vietnamese I've had, but it is comforting nonetheless and the prices are hard to beat. The portions are huge; I often take half of my meal home! The service feels personal and fast, and while the dining area isn’t the fanciest, it serves its purpose. I’ll keep coming back when I need a casual, filling meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a quick bite rather than a fine dining experience, this place does the job. The pho was mediocre and really didn’t taste like authentic Vietnamese food. The service was decent though, not much wait time. The atmosphere is little more than a casual vibe, but overall acceptable for a quick dinner. I might return, but I’m not setting my expectations too high. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has been around for quite some time, and in my opinion, it's a hidden treasure! Although the decor is simple, the service warms you up immediately. Their pho is comforting—even if it's not as complex as other places, it still feels hearty. Portions are plentiful, which is a definite plus for hungry diners! I appreciate the effort the staff puts into making every visit pleasant. This makes it easy to overlook minor shortcomings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently visit Taste of Saigon, and each time I find something new to appreciate. The chef’s special spicy tofu is a highlight for me! Though the pho could use a bit more flavor, the portion sizes are fantastic—perfect for sharing or leftovers. The staff remains friendly, and we always get our food quickly. Plus, the relaxed atmosphere makes for a nice meal out with friends. I definitely recommend checking out the sesame chicken as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t understand the fuss over this place. Although the portions are generous, the food lacks authenticity in flavor, especially the pho. The service was fine, they got our orders out quickly, but we just didn’t enjoy the meal very much. Not a place I would recommend for those wanting real Vietnamese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try this restaurant based on the reviews, but I left feeling a little disappointed. The fried rice was bland and the pho lacked the quality I expected from a Vietnamese eatery. The service was nice, but the overall atmosphere felt more like takeout than dining in. I might give it another shot because the portion sizes were definitely reasonable, but I am not rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)
