Pretty great Vietnamese restaurant. My food was excellent. The service was mediocre -- I have repeatedly had to get up and walk to the front to ask for service. Please note this is not something I normally would do; it just seems to be what is required here... I had their "Old Saigonx vermicelli lunch special with grilled pork and egg roll and it was great. Update: I have now eaten here several times, and every time I need to get up to walk to the front if I need service. Review decreased from five stars to three stars for mediocre service.
This place was an average Vietnamese place. I was torn between a three or a four, but I ended up giving them a four just because of the overall experience and the fact that they do a tiny crème brûlée dessert at the end on its teaspoon which is a nice touch and just for that the rating pushed slightly however overall the food was average I would say I was happy that they had a vegetarian for which is rare to see at Vietnamese restaurant so that was another reason why I chose to go with a four point rating other than that my husband got a spicy chicken lemongrass ban mi which was really average. We’ve had much better banmi in other places and then he also got a calamari which was a bit unusual and salty and the portion size didn’t quite match up to the price point. It was also a little bit overdone which made it robbery in texture.
Their fried and fresh spring rolls (with dried onions to give a crunch) are outstanding! Some of the best I’ve ever had. The Old Saigon vermicelli bowl with shrimp & pork was delicious. I highly recommend this place.
Every lunch special here is BOMB today I got the rice plate with beef lunch special. The spring roll it comes with is one of the best in town. Beef was tender with cooked veggies and perfectly sweet savory sauce. Clean atmosphere, Paz was very friendly and attentive. Food also comes out fast and super hot. Will definitely be back
Old Saigon did not disappoint!! I ordered the shrimp spring rolls and a bowl of chicken pho. The food was so delicious and the pho broth was really rich and tasty! Not thinly watered down like some spots. The service was excellent too! The restaurant was cute and cozy. Be sure to try their hot ginger tea as it was a great sip. Definitely will visit them again!
