Don’t get me wrong, I do like their pho soup and I will continue to patronize them, I think it’s savory and reasonably priced. However, the rest of their menu needs to be updated and improved. The lemongrass tofu we had was just so bad that after a few bites I just couldn’t eat another, and thats saying a lot. I usually don’t like to waste food, but this one was so tasteless and unredeemable that I didn’t even ask for a to-go box. The service was also lacking, mostly inattentive and needs a lot of polishing. Pho Saigon shouldn’t rest on its laurels but instead improve on the rest of their menu and service to remain competitive.
I ordered the #7 for the brisket and the rice noodles, but mainly because the other one with brisket has tripe for the broth. Not a cow stomach fan. I also added one egg roll to try which was really good. Crispy warm/hot and the filling was delicious. The Phó was so good. But the fried rice stole the show. It was so good that's all I have been talking about. Waiting for Wednesday so I can go get more. I selected a lemonade mango soda for my drink. They gave water complimentary without me asking which I am grateful for. Now, the drink was very, very delicious. Fresh lemon and mango chunks in it, and grain sugar at the bottom. It was in a to go cup and actually small for $6.95, but it lasted my whole meal, while also sipping the water, and it was delicious through and through. I even poured the water in the cup after finishing before I left. Very very good. But back to the rice. It had a slight shrimp flavor in the background. Just a simple hint of it. Seasoned extremely well. I am not joking when I say I'm going back mainly just for the rice. Saying that, as I briefly mentioned the Phó was delicious. They give you fresh bean sprout, mint lemon and thin sliced jalapenos to add. Which the mint set it over the top so well. The jalapeno gave it a kick, while the sprouts gave it a nice crunch for different textures. They have Siracha sauce, a teriyaki type sauce, which seemed like it may of had oyster sauce too, but I could be wrong I was overwhelmed by the rice at this point, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Everything came out together with two workers bringing them to me. Unfortunately my drink came last because it was fresh. And worth the wait. Plus I had the water and technically didn't need it. No pallete cleansing needed. Overall I enjoyed it very much and as mentioned, I will be returning. Total for the medium size Phó, (Forgot, there is a choice of small, medium and large bowls) the single egg roll, a side of fried rice and the Lemonade mango soda was $$29 and change. I left a $6 tip. Was that appropriate for my order to be taken, my meal brought to me and I went to the counter to get me check and pay my bill. Well, pay my bill. Never got the check. Super polite, and very warming employee's and place to come for any meal. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Score: 9.3/10 Highly recommended. Even if you go for a One and Done.
The last time that I came here was before covid. I was not a fan of their broth back then. I'm glad I came back and gave it another chance yesterday. The bun bo hue and pork and shrimp spring rolls was delicious, probably one of the best I've had in Stockton. Thank you for making quality food. It is a little bit pricer than other places but I understand the economy sucks right now.
I visit this restaurant at least once every few months. Seems like they are always busy here. But olenty of parking. Service is always great. We get seated as soon as you walk in. Water and menu comes promptly after being seated. My order is taken within 15 minutes. I can never pass up on thr pho when I'm here. The broth here is lighter and sweeter compared to other local pho restaurants. But I like the way their broth tastes here. My wife always enjoys their duck noodle soup and the rice plates are always on point.
The food is good and fresh, but very expensive. Wouldn't matter if the portions were greater. I purchased sweet and sour pork ribs. Didn't mind the price, but 6, 7 pieces is ridiculous. Shrimp Pho is excellent.
