Saigon BBQ Noodle House — Restaurant in San Francisco

Updated review 4/4/2025: We wanted to do Saigon BBQ's make-your-own rice wraps. We started with #9 shrimp salad $14 and a #12 crepe w/shrimp, pork, onions and bean sprouts $14. The make-your-own rice wraps we ordered were #69 woven rice vermicelli, bbq pork, beef, egg roll, prawns with vegetables $38 and #70 woven rice vermicelli, shrimp paste on sugar cane $39. The #70 grilled shrimp paste is an acquired taste. Our Caucasian friend didn't like it. The #69 woven rice vermicelli with BBQ meats was pretty good. Each person gets their own fish sauce and peanut sauce. The meal was finished with a #63 seafood claypot $17. No complaints with the food. Service was excellent.

Original review: My review is based on their seafood crispy noodles $14. While the food tasted OK, I left the restaurant hungry. The crispy noodles only occupied the center diameter of the plate. For the size of this dish, they maybe should have put this under the appetizer section. It felt small to me. Service was fine. I ended up walking over to the fried chicken place a couple of blocks down to ease the...

Definitely my new go to viet restaurant. I saw this place was new and had really good reviews. I noticed that they had recently opened for indoor dining and decided to try it out. Their entrance is on the side of the restaurant and not the door on the actual sidewalk. The restaurant is really big with a lot of tables. We were seated immediately. We ordered the imperial rolls, pho with meat balls, and bun rieu. The imperial rolls were only okay and only came with three in an order. However, their bun rieu was one of the best I've had, comparable with those I've had in San Jose. I think the flavor is really good and the quality of the ingredients is very high. The pho is also really tasty, with amazing broth and good quality beef. I've visited this restaurant multiple times now and they are very appreciative of the business as they opened during the pandemic. It seems a lot of people order take out here, but not too many have eaten inside. They have a lot of traditional Vietnamese dishes that I hope to try...

Great food, fair prices, and nice folks. I live nearby and stopped to look at their menu. My partner and I decided to order takeout for dinner. When we got home, we really enjoyed it. He ordered the chicken pho, and I ordered the chicken bun. My dish was very fresh and tasty. My partner said his pho is the best he's had. I tried the broth, and I was shocked to smell the cinnamon. I've had plenty of pho, but I've never smelled cinnamon in it before. The broth was also not oily. I went back a couple of days later to try their Vietnamese iced coffee. Good stuff. I'm happy we have them in the neighborhood. I'll be back pho sure. Edit: Advice to the owners - add a sandwich sign to the sidewalk and open the shades on the windows. Your storefront is very nondescript. I think you'll get more business if you dress up the windows. It looks like you're...
