The food was excellent. Service was wonderful and very attentive. It's in an old building but it's clean, very comfortable seating and casual. The food was so good I got more to go to have at home for the week. We will be back

I looove Tom Kha Gai soup and this was not it. Itβs made with coconut milk and this looked like curdled cottage cheese with a weird sweet taste. It didnβt have any bamboo but lots of green onions, mushrooms and chicken. I must note I asked for the spice level to be HOT; I got sweet. I really wanted to do a separate review but it wonβt let me. The calamari? Really delicious when dipped in their Thai sauce!! 8/10!!

Enjoyed an authentic Vietnamese lunch. Had springrolls, summer rolls, chicken satay, grilled pork chop, small bowl of pho, and sake flight. The server, Diamond had a great personality and was very attentive. The cook kept coming out to see how we liked our food. We left very full able satisfied. It tasted like home cooking.

Food was good but portions could be bigger. I really got into the store with a lot of excitement! Unfortunately I see on the menu they give you 3 satay as well as it says on the menu they give 3 satay. I server was good like average service but the restaurant is very well decorated and very clean but like I said food portions not good and they underserved me. Why didn't I ask in the store because I did not realize I was underserved. Sadly won't return but best of luck. Btw Duck Breast had more mushrooms than actual duck breast.

This was my first time dining here with my Vietnamese boyfriend, and it was fantastic. We went at a slow time before the dinner rush and the service from Diamond SPARKLED. We highly recommend the Nem Cuon rolls and the grilled pork chop, which came with 2 surprise shrimps. The pho ga broth was so fragrant and clean, and they serve it with authentic green chilies instead of jalapeΓ±o peppers. I hate eating meat with tendons, cartilage, and bone, and have been put off by the meat at Asian restaurants before, but the pho ga was served with small, palatable pieces of chicken breast which I enjoyed. We also tried the wasabi steak salad; we had never seen this dish served at any other Southeast Asian restaurant before and it sounded good. Very little wasabi is melted into creamy seasoned butter and this is the salad dressing. Crisp romaine, tomato cooked but still firm, green onion and shallots, cucumber and delicious grilled flank steak. It was so unique, flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. We are very glad we tried this bo tai wasabi salad. Would come here again for sure. Wishing Saigon Cafe good luck in business, and prosperity and happiness for all employees, especially DIAMOND.
