Saigon Noodle House — Restaurant in Diamond Bar

I incidentally found this Vietnamese restaurant - Sigon Noodles. I ordered Pho Dax Biet House Special Pho (regular size) at the very reasonable price of $10.95 and a dessert “three beans with coconut milk” at $4.50. Fairly quickly, I got my noodle. the beef taste perfect and beef is cooked just right: not raw but not too hard, giving you a meaty satiation with each bite. the tendons are very good: Part of the tendon is so well cooked that it melts in my mouth, and another pot has sufficient texture for you to enjoy the film of sinking your teeth into the tendon. crispy bean sprouts add the inviting fresh vegetable flavor to the soup, the basil spread it pleasant fragrance to the whole big bowl. the noodles are very good - everything is so right, with every bite every minute I enjoy this simple pleasure and absolute pleasure. it’s a true enjoyment with so reasonable Cost

After I satisfied myself with the delicious beef noodle, I began to enjoy my dessert - three beans with coconut milk. I am so very happy that I made the best choice to add this delicious dessert. It just took my dining experience to a new level! the beans are cooked very well, soft and fragrant. Coconut milk spread its soothing pleasure that goes through my nose and mouth through then down my throat down, carrying the enjoyment down and through. every spoon gives me renewed enjoyment. I enjoy every sip of the coconut milk, every chewing of the three beans. My pleasure did not diminish any little bit with every mouthful of the delicious dessert. I so feel so fortunate that I selected not only the right restaurant but also the two right dishes. I know I will return to Saigon Noodles next time I’m in...

Homey mom-and-pop pho place. One of my go-to’s when I want a big, comforting bowl of pho. The portions are very generous (even at the regular size) and you can easily split the large size amongst two people. They give you the fresh bean sprouts, jalapeño, basil, and lime on the side (one for the whole table) so that you can customize as you wish. They were quick to seat us (party of four on a Saturday night at 6:30pm) and let us seat wherever we chose. They were also quick to bring the pho out - only 4 minutes, although for the grilled pork and rice, it took a little bit longer. The broth for the pho is delicious, the noodles are cooked well, and they don’t skimp on the meat. The rice dish was equally good; I enjoyed the seasoning of the pork and it wasn’t overly fatty. There was a big mound of white rice and a side salad that had some pickled radish and carrots which tasted super bright and fresh. There was a nice slight char to the pork as well. Number 26 also comes with an egg roll, which is only 55 cents more expensive than Number 25 so I would recommend just getting that egg roll. When it came out to the table, it was piping hot and tightly rolled. The sauce that accompanied it was a little too sour for me, but there’s also various sauces including sriracha that you can use. They do take credit card and you pay at the counter after your meal. You can leave your plates on the table and someone will clean it up once you leave. Parking was very easy as it has a mini lot in front of it and it’s right next to the neighborhood Walmart lot. Overall, a comforting family spot that...

I called in to order takeout and went in to pickup my order after their quoted wait time. I waited in line to pay, and when it was my turn, a lady walked in and cut in front of me to tell them she had a pick up order. The cashier lady completely disregarded me and when I told her, “I was here first,” the other customer just said, “I already placed my order beforehand.”

So I responded, “I did too.”

The cashier lady just said, “Your order is still not done,” and continued to help that lady first- completely dismissing me and enabling that rude behavior.

Even if my order wasn’t ready, I had still been waiting patiently in line to pay for my order. I’ve been working in the restaurant/hospitality industry for a decade, so yes, I know what it’s like to work a customer service job. The cashier lady could’ve made the effort to acknowledge me and said, “I’ll be right with you,” rather than just casting me to the side like that before I had to speak up.

But good to know, for future reference, if you place a phone order ahead of time, it is perfectly okay to cut every person who’s WAITING IN LINE TO PAY to pick up your...
