I’m a huge fan of their five-spice chicken wings! They’re packed with flavor and bring back memories of the wings from a Chinese restaurant in my hometown, which is a compliment. I really enjoy the oxtail pho, although I usually order it without the beef meatballs. The flan is delightful! However, I didn’t care for the calamari. My partner enjoys the Saigon egg rolls and the yellow curry chicken! We’ve only ordered delivery, so I can’t comment on the atmosphere of the restaurant.
Phenomenal food. This has become my favorite spot to eat in Omaha. Wonderful menu and skillfully prepared. The food is so well balanced and has such amazing flavor. Service can be a bit hit and miss but honestly the food is so good I'd wait twice as long to eat it and still be happy Update as of 12/8/22: the food was perfect AGAIN and the service was AMAZING! WITH Worth every penny!
Besides pho, I've never had Vietnamese food before. I decided to try Saigon Surface, and boy am I glad I did. Vietnamese is easily in my top 5 favorite food types now. Everything was expertly prepared and so FRESH. If you're worried about portions, don't be. I can usually pack away some vittles; I hadn't eaten much today, and I left full after an entree and appetizer. Loved this place! Will be back, and will tell everyone I know.
The food here is excellent. They have their own twist on the cuisine. Some dishes are a little bit different than what I am used to for Vietnamese food, but still very good. The Vietnamese Bun is very good. Probably best Pho I have found in Omaha. Goodfresh tofu spring rolls. My only complaint is that I wish they were open more consistently. Also, they have increased theirprices, but not updated their menus or Web site.
I ate here for the first time yesterday somewhat late into the evening (8:00 PM+ and had noticed the restaurant while walking to a club after parking in a new location for me (daily $10 open-lot parking right behind Berry Law downtown . I walked in,grabbed a menu, and seated myself. Initial thoughts were that the restaurant had a very upscale, but low-key, style that waswelcoming. Nice ambiance at that time of night. I stopped in by myself, but it could easily become a nice-date go-to in thefuture. Quiet enough and, though not the largest seating plan, the design choice does afford you with the public seclusion tostill maintain that needed one-on-one intimacy while out with a romantic interest, but the opportunity to people watch as wellwithout coming across as weird. Anyway, back to the food. So, there was one server pretty much holding down the fort; and, fromwhat he told me, had been doing so for the last six out of seven days. That's pretty hardcore. Therefore, seeing the restaurantwas short-handed, but still able to reasonably cover tables and provide excellent service, I politely interjected myself intothe conversation at the bar where a small group of friends had huddled up trying to figure out what they wanted to order; hopingto get my order in when the opportunity presented itself. They offered me their favorite food suggestions and allowed me to putmy order in with the server before them. Nice group. I ended up ordering a Caramelized Curry Tilapia Clay Pot that consisted ofcoconut milk, green onion, potatoes, and roasted peanuts, as well as, at first, a Jack Coke, but, since Jack wasn't on hand,his friend Maker's Mark provided a more than adequate substitute. The food arrived about 15 minutes later. Wasn't too worriedabout waiting since I had my drink and, as mentioned before, the Saigon Surface had great ambiance. It was hot, appearance wasspot on, and the portion size was appropriate to leave you comfortably full; To note: I say that
