Saigon Cafe - Sterling

I decided to give this restaurant another chance, but unfortunately, it just isn’t my cup of tea. The interior has a strong smell of cigarettes. The wontons were undercooked. The lemongrass chili shrimp, which the waitress claimed was their spiciest dish, lacked flavor entirely. The rice was old and a bit crusty—much harder than it should have been. No one offered water refills, and it took quite a while for someone to bring my check.

We ordered spring rolls, pho-Thai, rice and chicken, and vegetarian Ap-Chao. Our main issue was with the vegetarian dish. When it arrived, it contained shrimp and chicken. This was a significant problem since two of the three people at our table have severe shellfish allergies. When we alerted the server, we were told, “It’s okay, just eat around it.” Unfortunately, that’s not how cross-contamination works, and this could have led to serious allergic reactions for those diners. The restaurant made no effort to address the situation, and the server didn’t return to check on us, requiring us to track them down when it was time to pay. The other dishes were quite enjoyable, but the lack of care regarding the seafood issue and the refusal to remake the dish warrants only one star.

Amazing pho! It’s the real deal. The customer service is very friendly and attentive. While the exterior may look a bit shabby and the interior isn’t much better, the food is simply phenomenal.

Very good food and good service. Food came quickly and was excellent. I had the chicken w/ lemongrass chili and the chicken was very well cooked. Melt in your mouth taste and texture. Overall I would fully recommend to anyone who likes Vietnamese food. The only thing I wish would change would be that more people went there.

From the outside it looks like an average pho spot but once you walk in you get a whiff of the broth and it smells delicious we tried the fried spring rolls, they were so crunchy and very delicious. We also order bowls of their chicken pho soup, we are used to being ask whether we want a S or a L this time we weren't asked and when the bowls came out they were huugggee overall everything was delicious and flavorful i would definitely recommend going there 10/10
