Delicious vegetarian/tofu rice paper rolls & very friendly service. Will definitely come back for dine-in and try more dishes when we’re able to.
They got a new menu with new dishes also.
What I ordered is crispy chicken rice
That is so amazing and worth trying
Very nice and definitely come back!!!
And after frequenting here for the past year, I’ve grown accustomed to the taste of the grilled chicken pho. The glistening sweet broth, coupled with the unlimited chili paste is now my standard to judge against other pho shops.
Actually, my sister and her husband had promised to pick me up at my campus and had lunch together but due to “jet-lag” it had to be cancelled. So, I had lunch with my friend, L, at Criniti’s (read my previous post) instead. Thank God, they decided to wake up just in time when I finished my classes.
I’d visited Saigon Pho twice ,within the same week, it was that good. Saigon Pho has probably the nicest decor and friendliest service I’ve encountered in a pho restaurant. This makes Saigon Pho have a slightly better vibe with it’s timber floors and chandeliers, compared than the average plastic chair/table combinations and abrupt service I’m accustomed to when itching my pho itch. I ordered the Beef Pho and a cà phê sữa. I can never pass up a Vietnamese coffee with it’s thick, bitter, sludgy coffee and sweet curls of condensed milk.

Cafe 'fin' Sua Da/Nong, $3.90; Saigon Pho's special filtered white coffee with condensed milk. Rose had this drink and said it was good. All you have to do is wait for the water to filter down until there's no more water left. Pork Spring Rolls, $7 for 6. I liked the spring rolls cause they had some vegetable and glass noodles in it as well. and also because they weren't oily! Combination grilled pork, shredded pork, meat loaf and fried egg on broken rice, $10.50; I
I loved the Peking duck with veggie and paper rolls, the duck is crispy and juicy. I also enjoy the crispy king prawn mustard and ox fried rice. I will definitely come back here for another serve of Peking duck. The price is standard and there is a variety of dish to select.
