Saigon Cafe

This is such a gem in our city. Excellent menu, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. A perfect place for a date night.

This place sold in November to a new owner and it is not worth coming to anymore. The atmosphere is sad, the service is worse, the food menu has been slashed, and the quality of the food is not there any longer. Avoid them until they fix their problems.

Stick with the Bún.I went off script and tried the Chef Specialties Seafood Combination. Sauce was thin and flavorless, so I added peanut sauce and chili to it. Ok. The seafood that was included was not all done appropriately. And the squid in there was ridiculously chewy. I would have sent it back but they brought the food 10 minutes after my table had already been eating their bún.

It makes me so sad to write this, because Saigon used to be my go-to place for lunch and dinner. It wasn’t unusual for my partner and I to eat here once a week.I knew new ownership had taken over, but really wanted to come in with optimism and an open mind. I expected it to not be entirely the same, and was ready to let hiccups learning curves go, but oh boy did this exceed my worst expectations. By far the worst “Vietnamese” food I’ve ever had. Everything was so bland and the texture was so off, I might has well had been at an airport ordering “pho” from Panda Express.If the new owner makes some serious changes, and acknowledges their very rocky start, I might give it another try… but I’m not optimistic.

Recently this fine establishment has had new owners and they are KILLIN' it! By far the best vegan Pho I've had in the Springs (maybe even my life?? . They have a ton of vegan and gluten free options (in addition to meat options . Their food is exceptional and the menu well thought out. Highly highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: veganvegetariangluten free
