Saigon Noodle - Philadelphia

I love Saigon noodle bar and am a loyal customer (I previously wrote a review 2 years ago). You can’t go wrong ordering anything there. My personal favorites are the Pho Tai with flank steak and chicken garden rolls. I am giving 4 stars because despite their hours advertising open until 8, they don’t take orders past 7:10, MAYBE 7:30. I just called at 7:10 tonight and was told they are closed for the night. This is not the first time this has happened to me. Please update your hours to reflect your actual hours of service. With not many other good take out options in Chestnut Hill, we rely on going to Saigon nearly every week and look forward to it.

Always good service and authentic Vietnamese food. Just wish they had more Bubble tea flavors. Overall great place, definitely a regular go to!

The pho here is.....fine but just fine. If you're craving pho and you live in chestnut hill or Mt airy, this is your only option so it is what it is but definitely don't go out of your way for it. Here's why I'm scoring it so low: first off, they serve it in flimsy plastic bowls and I think that's gross because of the bpa in the flimsy plastic that leaches into hot liquids. Second, they serve the bean sprouts, peppers, lime, and basil in a little plastic baggie and they were old and slimy. So gross. Basically I think they are set up only for take out/delivery and are pre-setup for delivery. Very efficient but the baggies make the sides gross. Will I go here again? Maybe in a pinch but there is definitely MUCH better in Philadelphia. If they treated their product and produce with more respect they would be pretty good but they don't so it's not.

For you vegans that don’t want beef, Saigon noodle bar definitely has the options for you.
