"Absolutely terrible Valentine’s Day experience! We got seated in the “patio” area on a cool night, people wearing their coats. A plastic tarp was hanging to shield from the outside. Heat lamps were on but one wasn’t working. Tables were crammed up against each other, literally chair to chair. Ambience a minus ten on a scale of 1 to 10. The food was ok, but overpriced. The restaurateur is either clueless or terribly greedy! Definitely not going back."

"I went in for dinner with a friend on Thursday, and there were only a few tables occupied. When I asked for recommendations, our young and friendly waiter with blonde highlights (kudos for the excellent service!) suggested the 'Bun Dau Mam Tom,' which includes fried tofu, fish cake, and steamed pork with a special sauce made from fermented fish and pineapple. He mentioned that 9 out of 10 customers order it. However, since I’m not a big fan of that sauce, I opted for something grilled instead. We went with the 'Bun Nem Cha Dac Biet,' which contained grilled pork, pork cake, and fried wonton wrappers served with a sweet sauce. For $36, the portion was generous—we ended up finishing only half and I shared the leftovers with another person, so it could easily feed four. One thing to note is that the pork could be sliced thinner. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I can't complain about using our hands to make our own rolls. Here are a couple of tips: 1) Bring at least three or four people if you want to order a specialty dish, and 2) don’t forget to ask for some chopped red chili to add a bit of spice to your rolls!"

"Additionally, the portion sizes have shrunk, especially with the vegetable sides, and we had to ask for more twice. The restaurant has always struggled with ventilation; it feels crowded and the floor was greasy. The restrooms also seem to come from a bygone era—definitely in need of improvement. If you're looking for better seven-courses beef, I recommend trying Jasmine Restaurant further down the strip center on Beltway 8. The original owner now runs that place, and dining there is reminiscent of Saigon Pagolac from 30 years ago. Plus, Jasmine features live music, which adds to the experience."

"Stay at one of the hotel nearby for work. Hesistating as other bad review but no other chinese resto nearby. Got take away. Would say that the meal was American standard chinese resto but had to make review because of the pork szechuan. The flavor is not over done. Overly sweet or salty. Or oily. Its just ?? perfect. Highly recommend with only white rice. Btw the lady work there is super nice customer service. :"

"My girlfriend remembered that Saigon Grill was nearby, and since it was already after 11 PM, we decided to skip the usual late-night pizza slice and check if the restaurant was still open. We found it, now called Saigon Market, and were delighted to see it was open until midnight! We quickly snagged a table, and our anticipation was evident as we browsed the menus. We soon realized that the menu was quite similar to their previous location, so deciding what to order was a no-brainer: vegetarian summer rolls, Tasty and Spicy Chicken, and Ga Sate chicken. With the first bite, we were taken back to a state of culinary bliss. Each dish was generous and satisfying, and it was so delicious that we had to force ourselves to eat slowly to truly savor it. Plus, just like before, the food arrived at lightning speed! The menu offers a wide variety of substantial Vietnamese dishes, and they also have great lunch specials. They're open every day until midnight. As always, the service was attentive and straightforward, which we appreciated. We also noticed that the restaurant is quite spacious, reminiscent of dining in a big restaurant at Disney World. It’s easily accessible from the Union Square 4, 5, 6 subway station. We will definitely make the quick subway trip from the Upper East Side to get our Vietnamese food fix again!"

"This is our new favorite local BYOB spot. We've been twice now. The staff is very warm and friendly and the food is superb. If you like well crafted food and are willing to pay for very interesting tasting, beautifully plated food then this is a great place to go. We've been twice and both times they have been great with dietary restrictions as well. It's charming, casual enough to walk in (if you can get in!) but also a great place to take visiting friends and relatives or for a special night out or date. The Wayne area needed a place like this. We'll keep going back for sure."

"We enjoyed the smoked scallops and escargot for small plates. The smoked scallops were wonderful...I wanted a little more flavor dimension in the escargot, but still a lovely savory dish. For entre the spicy seafood noodle and almond prawns both were amazing. The wait staff was very attentive and service was impeccable. The table by a window was very romantic, however there was an air grate below each table and on a chilly rainy night the airflow was consistently cold. We placed a book over the vent just to help. Overall we very much enjoyed our dining experience and plan to return, excited to try whatever is new on the menu."

"One of the top spots for lunch in Brickell. The service is fast, the food is consistently good, and the prices are reasonable. I've never waited more than 10 minutes for my meal, and it's always exactly what I expect. I've never encountered any problems. The staff is always cheerful and friendly."

"Everyone was super nice and friendly. Service was good. appetizers came and then our pho. Everything was delicious. Coming from Seattle, I have been trying to find a reasonably priced Vietnamese spot with good stuff, and this is THE SPOT. I also have to say that I love their egg rolls that they make using rice paper, whereas a lot of viet places take the easy way out using wonton wrappers. Everything was super authentic, reasonably priced, and delicious. Will definitely be a regular customer."

"This visit was a one-time experience for us, and WE ARE DEFINITELY NOT COMING BACK! My friend and I were really in the mood for baked catfish and had initially planned to dine at Thien An Bo 7 Mon in Rosemead. Unfortunately, they weren 't open at the time, so we decided to give a new place, Sau Can Tho, a try. I had brought my own drink into the restaurant but was also prepared to order something else. We placed an order for the $80 baked catfish. The only issue we encountered was with our server, Mike. He seemed unhappy and pointed out that I already had a drink with me. Due to his demeanor, I politely asked for just a glass of water instead. After placing our order, we felt a bit uncomfortable because of the vibe we got from Mike, so we decided to request that our order be to-go shortly after ordering. Mike gave me an annoyed look and asked, 'So you want everything to-go? ' I confirmed that we did. Unfortunately, his attitude remained unfriendly as he walked away, showing his frustration. We want to emphasize that we remained calm throughout this situation. However, we were disappointed with the service we received. Consequently, we chose not to leave a tip because we felt that the service did not meet our expectations, and we experienced a less-than-pleasant attitude. If bringing an outside drink is not allowed or if there 's a concern about it, we would appreciate it if he was communicated to us more politely. We would have been more than willing to comply. Our intention was simply to enjoy a good meal, and we hope that future customers have a more positive experience than we did. Also is a Vietnamese translate version just in case. We really want them to know. Nơi này chỉ một lần và xong với chúng tôi. CHÚNG TÔI CHẮC CHẮN SẼ KHÔNG BAO GIỜ TRỞ LẠI! Tôi và bạn tôi đang thèm cá tra hấp và ban đầu chúng tôi muốn ăn tại Thien An Bo 7 Món ở Rosemead nhưng họ không mở cửa cho đến khá muộn nên chúng tôi quyết định thử một nơi mới, Sau Cần Thơ. Tôi đã mang theo đồ uống riêng vào nhà hàng nhưng sẵn sàng để đặt thêm một đồ uống khác và chúng tôi đã đặt món cá tra hấp trị giá 80 đô la. Điểm đặc biệt là Mike, người đã phục vụ chúng tôi, nhìn tôi một cách khó chịu và chỉ ra rằng tôi đã có đồ uống với mình. Vì thái độ của anh ấy, tôi nói với anh ấy rằng tôi chỉ muốn uống nước. Ngay sau khi chúng tôi đặt món, chúng tôi thực sự muốn ra khỏi đó vì chúng tôi đến chỉ để có bữa ăn ngon nhưng thái độ của Mike đã khiến chúng tôi khó chịu từ đầu nên chúng tôi quyết định thông báo cho anh ấy biết rằng chúng tôi muốn lấy đồ mang đi trong vòng ít hơn 5 phút sau khi chúng tôi đặt mọi thứ. Mike nhìn tôi với ánh mắt tức giận và hỏi tôi vậy bạn muốn tất cả đều mang đi à?! Tôi nói có, tất cả mang đi. Mike sau đó thể hiện thái độ tồi tệ nhất định, cho thấy anh ấy bực bội vì chúng tôi thay đổi ý kiến và anh ấy đi điểm điểm với sự thất vọng. Tôi chưa bao giờ thấy có dịch vụ kinh khủng như vậy trước đây và chúng tôi đã rất bình tĩnh trong tình huống này. Chúng tôi sẽ không cho anh ấy bất kỳ xu nào vì anh ấy không xứng đáng và chúng tôi không nhận được bất kỳ dịch vụ nào từ anh ấy. Tất cả chúng tôi nhận được là thái độ tồi của anh ấy. Nếu không cho phép mang đồ uống từ ngoài vào hoặc anh ấy có vấn đề gì đó, anh ấy có thể nói với tôi một cách lịch sự. Tôi sẽ để nó trong xe hoặc cái gì đó thay vì đối xử với tôi như Mike đã làm."

"This is a more traditional vietnamese restaurant compared to its neighbor tamarind tree. I love coming here for their pho, and they have long been established here for a long time. My wife loves ordering their bun bo hue. The last time I came there, they were not very busy and had two waiters. We got seated very fast and were given a set of menus and two hot green teas. We each ordered a noodle dish and it came out within 5 minutes. Overall we love the tradition of this restaurant and how long it has been here. A vietnamese classic of the chinatown little saigon neighborhood."

"We had a fantastic experience at the restaurant! Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. I really enjoyed the fried spring rolls, while my fiancé loved the fresh options on the menu. He tried the spare ribs, which were a bit chewy, but I absolutely loved my shrimp and noodle stir fry—it was excellent. We'll definitely be returning. One minor downside was that it was quite chilly, so I'd recommend bringing a sweater."
