👍 Small place, not busy. Pho are really authentic, and their grilled pork are amazing good. I will definitely recommend it. However, they didn’t give you a lot of meat tho and the price are about average. Do not get beef ball, they are actually not good People often mention good, chicken, great, pork, service, rolls, delicious, Vietnamese, restaurant,

    I absolutely loved the food made by this place!! The different dishes were all really delicious and fresh!! Also, I'd love to note how kind some of the employees were with me!! When I had just gotten my braces, one of them told the cook to make the noodles and chicken softer for me!!! Also, the place was clean and the food was made beautifully!! Definitely one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've ever been to!

    This small Vietnamese restaurant is a hidden gem! The pho is authentic and delicious, with rich flavors. We tried the chicken pho and the beef spicy noodle soup, and both were amazing. The owner came out to check on us and was very friendly. The servings are incredibly generous in size and the prices are also very reasonable.

    Love the vibe here and the food is delicious! We got the vegan phở, and it was amazing. The ingredients were so fresh and flavorful. Also excellent/fast service. Check this place out!

    I had never been to Saigon Cafe before but my friend goes all the time and loves it. The menu gave me too many options and everything looked good so I took the server's suggestion and got the grilled pork sandwich. The pho is supposed to be incredible as well but it was 95 degrees out so that will have to wait for another day. I was surprised by how affordable everything was. The service was great, it was quiet enough for us to visit, and we both got food to take home. I am already planning my next visit! I can't believe I didn't know about this place sooner.

    I'm always ordering the salad rolls. I'm a bit of a salad roll obsessed. As a result, I've become quite a critic after sampling the ones that many places have to offer. They are simply the best. It's a simple, inexpensive and quick bit to eat so most places just slap it together without thinking of the flavor combinations. They care about their food. I love the hint of lemongrass, crunch of veggies, thick chuck of shrimp and that grilled pork wrapped in a tender rice wrapper and coupled with that tasty sauce to dip it into. Heavenly perfection! 😍 I usually have two orders because it's just that good.

    Every dish here has been amazing, from the soup to the banh mi or any other dish. The owner makes each dish to ensure it is the quality he wants coming from his kitchen; he also comes out to greet persons and ask about the taste experience. My partner says it is the most authentic pho he has had anywhere across the nation during travel.

    I love this quiet little hidden gem. It gets cold if you dine in though so wear a jacket. The broth is so so good! All the bhan mi are awesome! And the best pho in town! The service is great, run by a father and daughter. I love this spot.

    We went for a late lunch before our flight and found the little cafe completely empty. The lovely older couple who were managing the restaurant were super friendly. I ordered the vegetarian pho and it was delicious. My husband had the combo fried rice and he said it had good flavor. My niece enjoyed the shrimp friend rice and the portion was very large. My mom had the steak pho and also felt like it was a very generous portion. We would definitely come back if in the area.

    The Chef (dad ) wasn’t there when we arrived. The cashier (daughter) simply apologized and asked if we would wait. The chef arrived shortly afterwards. The pho was good! Can’t wait until I return back to the area during the winter months! See y’all soon.

    delicious food, friendly staff ;) I was sincerely happy about the good attitude towards customers ;) clean room . and even the malfunction of the men's toilet did not overshadow the stay in this institution.

    Pretentious gentrified fake Pho . Rude staff . Maybe if they spent as much money on their menu as they did their crystal they would have better food . No authentic Pho . Avoid.

    Hospitality is great here and the food is to die for. Start out by sharing a banh mi. The bread is soft and fresh and so are the ingredients. Lemongrass chicken is my favorite. Pho is great! You honestly can't go wrong with Pho Dac Biet, but the Bun Bo Hue is some next level stuff. Try that out if you like Pho, but want something deeper. 10/10. This place knows what's up.

    The lemon grass chicken is my go-to when I am on that side of town. I don't know how they pack that super good lemon flavor into the chicken?!!! Very tastey with a Thai iced tea.

  • 2/5 Pavel G. 1 year ago on Google
    Possibly the worst Vietnamese chicken wings I had in my life. Also severely undercooked to the point of being a health hazard. Beef pho for my takeout order came with old cold noodles that clearly have been sitting around for a while, as they solidified into a solid rectangular block in their styrofoam container. Unimpressed.

    Great food and service. Totally stoked on the vegan options! Little gem. Would suggest checking out.

  • 4/5 Kirsten S. 6 years ago on Google
    Best Vietnamese I've had in Eugene. The pork and shrimp salad rolls were fresh and the peanut sauce warm. The house special pho smelled intoxicating and tasted pretty good as well. The spicy pork bahn mi was good, but it seems the spice only came from added jalapenos? That and the fact that they sat us in the middle of the room, awkwardly, rather than against the wall, keep me from giving it five stars. Maybe next time...

  • 3/5 Andre H. 1 year ago on Google
    Order takeout, I picked it up didn't come with jalapeno, bean sprouts or basil. I should have checked but was in a rush and the egg rolls were not very good. there just wasn't enough for meat for what I paid but the dude at the counter was super nice and that's why this isn't a two star

  • 4/5 Eva G. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean. Young, efficient and polite staff. Unfortunately for me, the beef special pho broth, though it seemed fresh and was flavorful, was made with more sugar than I like. I therefore will not be returning as I am pre-diabetic and diabetes runs in the family.

  • 5/5 Tre D. 2 years ago on Google
    Clean and modern restaurant with authentic Vietnamese food and fast order turn around. Try the lemon grass chicken sandwich, it's flavorful, zesty, and served on a well baked and crusty baguette. Delicious and only 6.00$ Good restaurant for work lunches because they get you in and out quickly.

  • 5/5 Judith W. 1 year ago on Google
    We tried the seafood pho and vegetable pho and the spring rolls (called pork and shrimp salad rolls on the menu, but at our request they made them without the pork) and we also tried the chicken potstickers. The pho broth is great and we really liked the dipping sauce for the pot stickers and we also liked the peanut sauce for the spring rolls. The vegetables provided for the vegetable pho were excellent - they were cooked the right amount and tasted great. I highly recommend this Vietnamese restaurant.

  • 5/5 Kaylynne G. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant never disappoints! Delicious, high quality food for a great price. The spicy beef noodle soup is the best in town! I highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Radek A. 2 years ago on Google
    Have only done take-out at this point (twice) but service and quality are consistently good. My order(s) consisted of Chow Fun, Chow Mein, Spring and Egg rolls. Tasty, delicious, fast courteous service.

👍 Probably the best broth I have had, hated to had chili to it because it was perfect except for the heat. I also got a bahn mi to dip in the pho. Great choice with the Korean BBQ bahn mi. Nice atmosphere and quick staff. Pleanty of parking.

👍👍 One of the best sandwiches I ever had! Perfect mix of fresh, fried, spicy and west. And the bun was incredible! Soft yet crunchy and not at all soggy!! So amazing. And I loved the wine & local brews available next door. Only thing that could be improved is more heaters at the seating!
