I could honestly eat here every single day! Saigon Deli has some of the most authentic Vietnamese food I’ve had in the US, and it’s been recommended to me by every Vietnamese person I’ve met. The staff is amazing, and everything I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. Their pho and beef banh mi are out of this world! The banh mi is perfectly made, with juicy, flavorful beef and a delicious sauce that soaks into the bread, while the fresh veggies complement everything so well. The pho is so good I genuinely can’t stop eating it, no matter how full I am! Their shrimp fresh rolls with the incredible peanut sauce are another favorite, and even the desserts are amazing. I honestly haven’t tried a single thing on their menu that I didn’t love. Everything is made to perfection, and I can’t recommend this place enough!
This is Vietnamese food at its finest, and I don't mean a elegant restaurant, I mean delicious, flavorful, and consistency in flavor everytime, place is mostly packed all the time. It's a family owned and operated by, I'm a soup person and pho is 😋 healthy, rich flavorful bone broth with rice noodles 🍜,meat, sprouts and fresh herbs. They have spring rolls, egg rolls, buns and the best Bánh mì you've to try (crusty hoagie bread, pork or chicken with pickles vegetables, cilantro and hot peppers), I had try many Vietnamese places, but Saigon D. Is the place I always going to pick every time.
First time and a bit lost. I ended up ordering at the register and standing in the way of customers and waiters while waiting for my banh mi. The tofu sandwich was solid and I enjoyed the outdoor seating area. Busy, professional, and routined serving good food fast.
Food is good. Beef pho was delicious. Excellent service. Server having a hard time speaking and understanding english had a miscommunication with 1 of our order but was rectified immediately. We also had a boba pearl drinks which was okey.
Probably one of the best banh mi sandwiches in the city and pork & chicken fried rice is top tier. Some of the best I've had in the city as well. Service was good and food came out quick.
