I last wrote a review 5 years ago detailing how awesome this place was--THIS PLACE IS STILL AWESOME! On a cold rainy night do you ever feel like you have a pho (specifically a large #5) shaped hole in your heart? Stephanie will fix that for you--her and the staff here is so friendly and incredibly accommodating. When you first walk in you'll find a variety of places to sit--seating is never an issue at this location even on busy nights. This is the perfect place to catch up with friends as you'll often find other groups of people chatting or watching whatever sport is playing on their large TV. Our go to is a #5 and #44 with a salty lemonade and a coke!

I came by last night. Service: friendly & quick! Prices: fair. Got two small pho (1 chicken and 1 steak) and an extra side of egg noodles. It cost around $36. Broth: it was on the sweeter side + deep flavor. Overall: great!

Came here for dinner on a random Wednesday night. My girlfriend and her family are regulars here, but it was my first time. I've had a lot of great Vietnamese food growing up, since I am also Vietnamese and I really enjoyed this place. The staff were so nice, which is always my favorite thing when it comes to my overall impression of a place. The food was also great. We both got rice plate, pork and chicken. Both were good portion size. I saw many of the other guests getting the Pho which I'll try next time. Their menu is pretty big so there is plenty of variety. I was again, pleasantly happy with this place because of the way it made me feel that I verbally said to my girlfriend as we got to the car, "I like this place". This means that I'll definitely be back since her parents live nearby. I'll bring the whole family next time!

Takeout was quick and easy at this place, it is located a little hidden from the main street. I got the vermicelli with marinated shrimp and grilled pork and it was exactly what I wanted, coming back to get this again! I wish it had more shrimp, but the pork was also tasty!

Came here with a friend on a Friday around 1:00 PM and it was pretty empty. The waiter allowed us to sit wherever. The food came out very fast (within 10 minutes), so definitely a place I would go if I was hungry and wanted a good portion of homey food quickly. Lots of seating and pretty quiet restaurant. I got the Pho Tai here and it was a generous portion. The broth was clear but hearty, and the beef was tender as well. Nothing absolutely standing out, but a good neighborhood place to try for a good price. Would return if back in the area.

Ughh I love love love this place! The service and food are immaculate. Always have to stop by here when I'm in the area. Love that they're open late too :-)

This Pho spot is still very decent in prices and generous. It's a very low key casual environment with not much happening around here. Each time I come here, it's super quiet with barely any people dining inside and the sports channel is always on TV. Yes, at least during lunch hours and late at night. Staffs are always good and efficient to serve you as needed. Not a very popular place either, but for Vietnamese noodle bowls/rice plates, etc., New Pho Saigon menu has wide selections and are decent. Affordable and inexpensive. $15 small bowl size is plenty and fulfilling. Beverages are all good too. Korean BBQ short ribs were delicious, tender, and juicy. Hu Tieu Dai Dac Biet noodles with seafood was light, just the way I enjoy it. I only have good things to say about this place during each visit. It feels like home for a small staffing family owned small business. Customers are mainly locals or people who work in the area. Parking lot is shared with offices and other places nearby. You can also park near the swimming pool gym or along the sidewalk where you can see McDonald's fast food restaurant. If you're looking for a low key casual and quiet place to chat, this is it.

We were needing food nearby after we had run some errands. We felt like getting a bun and so we went to New Pho Saigon. When ordering it was nice that they confirmed we were going to "NEW" Pho Saigon as there is a Pho Saigon very nearby. Parking was relatively easy and we found a spot in front of the place. It was quick to get the food as we called in before picking up. We got #85. Bún Tôm Thịt Nướng Chả Giò / 燒蝦豬肉炸春捲檬 / Marinated Shrimp, Grilled Pork, Egg Roll with Vermicelli. I was assuming that the grilled pork would be lemongrass flavored but I don't think it was. It looked more red than your usual grilled pork which kind of remined me of tocino which is a marinated pork in filipino cuisine. Everything was fairly standard but unfortunately something in the dish made me a bit nauseated which was a bummer. No fault to the place as I have a few food intolerances and it's always a gamble when eating. Overall, I think it was okay. Service was good in terms of ordering and pick up. Food was okay. So I think for now "okay" is a good way to describe this spot. I'll have to try more from the menu and re-review in the future. Definitely take a look and try them out for yourself!

For years, New Pho Saigon + Pho Saigon has definitely always been on everyone's "Late Eats" list! Humble small business that always take care of their customers but I was a little disappointed this visit.. Location: Tucked away from the busy main street with plenty of parking Pricing: $ -$$, decently priced large bowls of pho but the add ons are expensive Service: Always friendly to customers, attentive to needs Ambiance: Humble restaurant with plenty of seating and lots of good energy from plants, but many tables we tried to sit at were very sticky. We moved a couple of times.. Food: Our 4 orders came out FAST, suspiciously fast lol Soups were inconsistent in temperature. The broth is where the heart of the pho is but the broth was very very salty which over powered the other aromatic flavors. The steak was unfortunately really tough. My chicken pho ap chao (crispy noodle) noodles were stale and hard. The temperature of the vegetables and sauce were inconsistent and found bits of solidified sauce. After we ate, we didn't feel well either.. that wasn't good.. :(

Great portions! Pork chop plate comes with 2 pork chops that are tender with lots of flavor. Beef stew was perfect. Tender beef and you can taste the spices like anise in it. Service was good too. They're kind, patient, and refilled our waters! They didn't rush any customers when they were still dining at closing time. Will definitely return when in the area!
