" Wow! Just wow! My partner and I found Saigon Shack while exploring the West Village and I'm so glad we did. The pho was spectacular; the broth had a deep, rich flavor that clearly comes from a well-executed recipe. The portion sizes were generous, too! The service was prompt, and the staff was friendly. We will definitely make this our go-to place for Vietnamese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting from out of town, I tried Saigon Shack on a friend's recommendation. I ordered the lemongrass chicken rice bowl and it was fantastic! The chicken was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The only downside was that it took a while to get seated, but once we were inside, everything was smooth sailing. Overall, I had a great experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Saigon Shack is a hidden gem! The stir fry dishes are wonderfully seasoned, and they have a nice variety of vegetarian options. I particularly enjoyed the lemongrass tofu dish, and it paired perfectly with my Vietnamese iced coffee. The decor is warm and inviting, which makes it a nice spot for a casual meal with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the beef pho and it was quite good with generous portion sizes. It was bustling and lively inside, which added to the experience. However, I found the service a bit lackluster, as I had to flag my server multiple times for extra sauces. Overall, a good spot for some hearty Vietnamese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The pho at Saigon Shack was okay but nothing special. I agree with others that it lacked seasoning and complexity. Staff was polite, but the wait time for food was longer than expected. I might return to try another dish, but I'm not in a rush to go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience at Saigon Shack! The shrimp summer rolls were fresh with a perfect sauce. The pho was comforting, just what I needed on a rainy day. Friendly service, and an intimate atmosphere. Would definitely come again—which speaks volumes considering how many places I've tried in NYC! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was quite poor. The food was mediocre; I felt the pho lacked the special touch and didn’t have the complexity that comes with authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The waiter seemed uninterested, and the atmosphere left a lot to be desired. Overall, it was not what I was expecting from a popular place. " (*Curated Review*)
