SAIGON YUM - Phở & Bánh Mì — Restaurant in San Leandro

We went here because of all the great reviews, but honestly, it was just okay. I’ve had better pho and bánh mì at many other local places.

My bánh mì bread was hard and hurt my mouth and the meat was scarce. My husband ordered a second one and his bread was softer. Overall, the taste was ok.

The pho was fine, but nothing special. I should’ve known when we walked in and didn’t smell that usual pho aroma. They also cut the noodles, which was weird, and I ended up eating them with a spoon. Plus, they only gave us one lime wedge for three bowls of pho.

They also offer free lime/tea water, very nice touch. I chose their egg ice coffee, super creamy and classic viet coffee 👌🏽 i loved it, very satisfying experience. I’ll be back for their bun bo hue and their sizzling breakfast plate. Great prices, comfortable atmosphere and a beautiful hand...

We tried this new Vietnamese restaurant, and it was a great experience. The place was very clean, and the staff were nice, polite, and attentive. We ordered the beef stew with egg noodles and a side of baguette bread. The meat was tender, and the broth had a rich, flavorful taste. The bread was warm and perfectly toasted. We’ll definitely be back to try other dishes like the Pho, Banh Mi sandwiches, and their teas. The décor was pleasant, with lots of plants that gave the space a fresh and...
