Saigon Caphe Amstelveen — Restaurant in Amstelveen

I had the unfortunate experience of dining at Saigon Caphe and trying their Pho, and I must say, it was a truly disappointing meal. I would give it a measly 1 star, but I wish I could give it even less.

First and foremost, the Pho I was served had absolutely no flavor whatsoever. It was like a tasteless bowl of lukewarm water with some limp noodles floating around. Pho is supposed to be a rich and flavourful broth, but what I got was more akin to dishwater.

The raw beef in the Pho was another disappointment. It was not the tender, thinly sliced meat I expected, but rather overcooked and tough. It felt like I was chewing on rubber bands instead of enjoying a delicate, savory meal.

To add insult to injury, the portion of side dishes served with the Pho was ridiculously small. I'm used to getting a variety of fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and lime wedges to customize my Pho and enhance the flavors, but Saigon Caphe's offerings were miserly at best.

But perhaps the worst part of the entire experience was what happened afterward. Both my friend and I suffered from severe stomachaches and nausea after eating at this restaurant. It's safe to say that our stomachs were not pleased with whatever concoction they served us that day.

In conclusion, Saigon Caphe's Pho was a disaster from start to finish. Flavorless soup, overcooked beef, stingy side dishes, and a post-meal bout of stomach troubles make this one of the worst dining experiences I've had. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying...

Dear owner of Saigon Caphe, As an usual visitor, hereby I would like to give my honest opinion about the food I had today lunch in the Saigon Caphe Amstelveen. I’m so disappointed today by the quality of food, the waiting time, and the poor service I received today. I arrived around 12.05 where there is only two tables in the restaurant. And I ordered immediately because I know the menu already. I waited until 12.35 to remind the waitress to get my food. How possible the table next to me who order later than me but get the food even earlier. Due to the fact that the waiting time was already so long, I was expecting the food should be at least tasty. However, that is not the case again. The pho was soak in the soup and become way too soft, and the soup taste so plain. I have gave the feedback to one of the waitress, but the attitude of the waitress was so rude, she didn’t answer my question and didn’t even give a response but just work away. Overall, I think there is a lot of thing you can improve in the future. I hope you can read this comment and notice the...

We love going to Saigon Caphe at Gelderlandplein for its fresh food, friendly staff and fast service. So I guess we had some expectations going to its newly opened relative at the Stadshart in Amstelveen. But I feel they are still having some start up issues. Service was really slow - no pho after 30 minutes waiting. And we’d ordered two ice tea which had too much syrup in it, which drowned out the fresh ingredients. We asked the waiter about the pho, and he said there had been a mistake made in the kitchen and the pho would be out momentarily. We waited a while more, but still no food, so we decided to cancel our order. The waiter said he was sorry for the mix up, but really didn’t do anything to fix the situation. So we left, having paid in full for the ice tea and still hungry. It’s a shame, because we’re really excited about there being a Saigin Caphe in Amstelveen. So we will be trying again, hopefully things will go...
