The prices for what you get here simply can't be beat! My Vietnamese friend loves this place because it reminds her of home, with authentic recipes and generous portion sizes. Like the banh mi here is $6!!! That's amazing for a place situated in downtown Berkeley, and it makes for a great lunch stop for local workers and students. I personally love getting their bun bo hue and pho. The broth for both is super flavorf... View all feedback.
What Anonym dislikes about Saigon Express:
we ordered the rare bark and the brisketpho. the Pho width was good, but the Toppings plate was a bit meager. there was a nice amount of bark meat, but it came a bit overcooked for rare. it tasted like something was missing. the atmosphere wasn't great even though it was clean. just a lot of design elements that didn't fit, and a bit economical. the service was great, polite and prompt.

The best sandwich in downtown Berkeley! The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is fantastic. If you have diabetes, Sandwich 1 is an excellent option—it's low in sugar, and the bread is healthier, resembling French bread rather than the sugar-laden American variety.
I experienced food poisoning that was among the worst I've ever had. I ate three veggie spring rolls at 4 PM, and by 2:15 AM to 3:15 AM, I was throwing up four times. I wish I could give this place zero stars.
I ordered the Claypot with Shrimp, and a few minutes later, it arrived at my table piping hot. The vegetables had a perfectly crisp al dente texture, just the way I prefer.
Though the banh mi I had was a bit small, I really like it (and the Thai Tea! . The employees were very polite and kind. Please visit this restaurant! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Grilled Pork Banh MI 5
