Saigon's Corner Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine

Beautiful, delicious, filling food! Great atmosphere. We accepted, but their seats are comfortable and spacious. The photo is of vermicelli noodle with eggroll, pork chop and shrimp package for takeout. The shrimp pork chop was made perfect and the sauce was so good!

Delicious food at very affordable prices. We ordered the Brisket Pho and another dish and the portions are very large enough for two people. tons of flavors and high-quality ingredients as well. The staff is very attentive and helpful.

I've missed authentic Vietnamese cuisine since I moved here, but I'm incredibly happy to report that everything on the menu feels like it was pulled directly from Little Saigon in Orange County. As others have already mentioned, the service could be somewhat more attentive, but anyone who works there is gracious and welcoming, and we received our entrees very quickly small things, such as the offer to go containers or the refilling of water, are nothing that cannot be improved over time. The egg rolls here are the best in town around a mile. Period. My wife, very health-conscious, ordered the stirring fried noodles with chicken not know that they were crispy, but they came light and airy; the vegetables are well seasoned and perfectly cooked; and the sauce is incredibly delicious without being too thick or heavy. The dish that really seals my love for this place is, however, the dry Vermicelli shell. It's huge as they do in Westminster. It comes with generous help from delicious pork, pork bell, shrimp, a ton of fresh and picked vegetables and tasted almost exactly like the food I grew up. I agree with other reviewers that there is a significantly increased use of sweet chilli sauce compared to fish sauce (the most used sauce in Vietnamese cuisine), but the entrees here are still delicious. It's hard to say exactly what a restaurant like Saigon's Corner means to me. Yeah, the food is great, but for me it means much more than that. The food here, for at least a few hours, made me feel like I was back in California, like I never left. Cooking is so much of our culture, and here in the Middle West it is almost equivalent. It's the reason I hope this business gets all the traffic and it deserves to support. Saigon's Corner feels like home. This is the highest praise I can give.

I don't leave any criticisms, but I have to do it this time. Every time I come to Iowa City to visit family, I always make sure I come here for a meal. Always delicious, vegetarian friendly, affordable, great service, fast. Couldn't ask for more from a restaurant. Thank you Saigon’s Corner!! Go on!

The consistency of how good Pho is at this place is impressive, especially brisket pho. I’m a frequent! Ask for extra hot broth and you won’t regret it.
