Miss Saigon

Miss Saigon isn't much to look at but make no mistake they have some of the best food around. It's always a pleasure to stop in for lunch before we shop at the K&S next door.

I do not recommend the ox tail pho it was too tough to eat so I just had noodles and broth. They are unorganized here as I sat down and waited 20 mins before getting my order in. The restaurant is unclean so my experience wasn’t great. The broth was very good at the very least.

I love this hidden gem!! I love the quail and almost everything on the menu is great also they are most likely the only people that sale corn milk it’s delicious!

Love Miss Saigon! Everything is always a hit. Food comes out quick and flavorful each time. Their egg rolls are BOMBBB! Tried the wonton soup with egg noodles today and mannn! The pork, wontons, and shrimp hit the spot with the toasted baguette on the side. Must try!

If you are craving for authentic Vietnamese food , this is where you should go. We got the iced tea and the three layer parfait which had beans in it . Simply outstanding. Never had something like this before . Its layered with coconut milk which is creamy and filling. We got the chicken pho and the vermicelli bowl with a lot of accompaniments like pork shrimp chicken and veggies , really good !! Forget the name but its number 42. The pho was fresh and juicy and had a lot of chicken in it . The portion size here is huge so order accordingly. This place is a hidden gem and more people should be aware of it . I highly recommend this place not just for the Vietnamese flavors but if you want good quality food at a reasonable price in Nashville.

Claims they have a vegetarian menu but most of it has beef or chicken broth in it. I came for the pho and didn’t want to settle for a rice dish

Got the pho combo and the meatball and shrimp were both cold. Unfortunately I won't be back for pho here. I had be recommended this place several times for pho but extremely let down.

Food: - Food is actually decent and the price is fair compared to other Pho places around Nashville. - Spring roll and the sauce was on point. The peanut sauce had a good balance and the roll was tightly packed. - Ordered a combination pho that comes with the meat and the seafood. - Broth is blend, but they have sauces and spices at the table to put to your liking. - Pho meat comes out rare but you just dip it in the broth and let it cook. Service: - Employee and the owner were very kind. Atmosphere: - Seem to be a popular spot! Had a lot of people come in while I was eating. Notes: - The Vietnamese chopsticks (the square ones) were hard to chose. Ask for a wooden chopsticks which is easier if you find it difficult to use.

Miss Saigon is a great hole in the wall for Vietnamese food! Very authentic and delicious. The beef pho is phenomenal, the broth is cooked to perfection and you can tell it's been simmered for hours. I like that it isn't too salty and super flavorful. The beef selection is nice too as they have some "semi-raw" pieces and you can cook them longer in the soup if you desire. Huge portions, I could barely finish it! Definitely get your money's worth. I also recommend the Bo Luc Lac, which is shaking beef, think of pan seared marinated beef. The marinate is so delicious and they cook the beef perfectly. If you are looking for a meat and rice dish, definitely get this. I got the Vietnamese iced coffee and it was really good, Vietnamese coffee is so flavorful and strong and then they top it with condensed milk. It's located in a big lot with lots of parking and there are a few other restaurants and an international Asian market. When you try to pull in from Charlotte Pike, the entrance is kinda hidden but then you go up a ramp and you are there.

Coming from a Vietnamese background and having a big appreciation for food - I don't know why this place is even above 3/5 stars. This was the first place my family and I ate out at the first night I got to Nashville. We were craving Asian/viet food, and this was recommended on Google. However, my personal experience wasn't the greatest. The tables felt sticky and dirty. The food was horrendous, just overall not the greatest impression for my family and I. Maybe it was just my timing and me being too harsh, but in all honesty I feel like I'm being fair posting an honest review.

I didn't know I loved Vietnamese food! This restaurant is one of the best hidden gems in all of Nashville. I didn't know what to expect when I visited for the first time, honestly, it's Vietnamese food, served in a very nondescript restaurant in a strip mall that I've passed hundreds of times and never noticed. But, I promise you, I will be back again (hopefully soon and often)! I visited at lunch time and expected the restaurant to be empty. Nope, most of the tables were already taken, and many of the diners looked like regulars. Our server was super nice and very knowledgeable about the menu. We also met the owner who was so nice. I really wanted to try something different, because there are so many Pho restaurants in the area. So, I ordered the Bun Miss Saigon (#42). If you know me, you know I love noodles. And Vietnamese Bun is a very large bowl of Vermicelli Noodles with fresh lettuce, pickles, cucumber, bean sprouts, scallions, and crunchy peanuts. It's served with a delicious sweet & sour fish sauce for dipping or to pour over the dish. #42 also includes a sliced egg roll, BBQ Pork, BBQ Chicken, Shrimp, and a Shrimp Paste Roll (it's flaky and delicious). I loved my Bun Miss Saigon! It was loaded with freshness and deliciousness. I began by dipping the egg roll and the shrimp paste roll in the fish sauce. Eventually, I poured the fish sauce over the dish and added some chili sauce and chili oil to give it a little kick because the dish is served without any heat. It was so delicious, that I ate the entire bowl. My friend was unable to finish his, so he took a little less than half home for dinner. My friend also had a Vietnamese Coffee that he said was delicious. Their menu is large and is loaded with really nice pictures and descriptions of their many dishes. I can't wait to try more of them. I highly recommend Miss Saigon, especially if you're looking to try something different than your regular Thai or Chinese dishes.

The most disgusting Shrimp Spring Rolls l have EVER had! Instead of a little bit of cabbage, carrots and vermicelli with mint or cilantro, it was a crap ton of lettuce in a barely there wrap with shrimp stuffed in. They should be embarrassed by how revolting it was! Do not eat here!

I honestly think this is the best tasting pho in Nashville. I think some others are good but I do make the 30 mins drive and don't blink... the service is average, not bad. The restaurant made updates and gave more tables available. Super chill atmosphere. Good for the family too.

Had the Bun bo hue with the oxtail option, but I really wanted it with the pig's feet and pork blood but they did not have. You get a lot for your money but the spice wasn't quite there for me or at least for what I'm used to. Still, plenty of stuff inside, lots of nice soft noodles. The menu looked quite extensive and there were a lot of selections on there I would have tried if we lived here.

We were 10 of us that came here very hungry. The server did a good job of accommodating all our orders and getting everything b quickly. Their pho was quite flavorful and the meat was very good. We ordered their spring rolls that everyone liked as well. This is a small place that has a few tables and chairs. They also have a few very interesting snack items that they sell at the counter. Small place with good management.

The food here is amazing but the staff can be a little awkward depending on who you get. Definitely worth coming in though and you have to try their corn milk. It's pretty addicting. We've never been disappointed with anything we have ordered. You really can't go wrong!

I was excited about trying out this restaurant, having just been to Vietnam. I was specifically eager to try their Bánh Xèo, one of my favorites. They did have Bánh Xèo on the menu, but it wasn't served in the way that was not authentic. Rather than coming with a plate of fresh lettuces and herbs, and some crispy rice paper wrappers, so that we could roll our own finger food appetizers, it came alone, or pre-wrapped (dragon style). We opted for pre-wrapped, but found the lettuces and herbs to be lacking, and the rice paper wrapper to be soft and not crispy. It was also way overstuffed, more like eating a burrito. The dipping sauce was just plain fish sauce, which we needed to add some chili sauce to, to make it more palatable. My main dish, the vermicelli bowl with pork, egg roll, and grilled shrimp, was also disappointing. I've had better.

This restaurant is exactly what you'd expect from the ambience--inexpensive and unpretentious. I always go for phở or bún, and both are an exceptional value. The fresh rolls, spring rolls, and shrimp tempura are also delicious. Miss Saigon is a staple for cool weather and when I need a hangover cure.

Miss Saigon is easily one of the best Vietnamese places in town! The place boasts a causal vibe and the waiter comes by your table to get your order. They serve water in little disposable glasses and you pay at the counter after you are done. There is a ton of parking and it's in a strip mall with other restaurants. I got the chicken pho and was in love! The broth is homemade, hearty, and flavorful. There is a generous amount of chicken in the dish (a combination of dark and white meat) and the noodles are perfectly cooked. All in all, I was very satisfied. It was just the comfort meal I was looking for and I can't wait to be back.

If I can give a 0 star, I would!! I keep trying to give this place a chance but this time, it's over, let's not start with the customer service, but we ordered To go from this place, got the BBQ chicken spring rolls, but they gave us pork, my friend CANNOT CONSUME pork AT ALL, they gave us pork anyways, she's NEVER IN HER LIFE HAD PORK, SHE CANT HAVE PORK AT ALL!!! This place does not care, they are rude and have no respect at all!!!

very authentic & the Special Pho was delicious Lots of flavor & big portion highly recommend this place

Food was oh so delicious. The service was just okay and took a long time. Some of the place feels clean while others feel dirty and need an uplift. I would put the food alone at 4.5 Stars.

Sat at the table for 15 minutes and no one came to take a drink order or to see if we had any questions So yeah this place sucks and the food is normal China food don't waste your time or money on this dive

Solid 8/10 pho! Their food is yummy, they have a great variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes and wonderful/attentive staff! My faves? SoDa Chanh (fresh lime soda) - so freaking refreshing! Pho - tender filet mignon and rare steak, great broth. Egg rolls - full of flavor! Why the minus 1 star? The broth comes out warm instead of piping hot. Some of our meat and veggies didn't get to cook through.

#fatjared say...a hidden gem to get amazing pho and authentic Vietnamese cuisine! Not perfect, but totally worth it and I would come back. Couple of things to start with. First, to get a 5 star review from me you have to give me a perfect experience. Why? Because 5 stars on Yelp is as good as it gets, hence it is perfect, and perfect means no complaints. Also, my wife grew up in SouthEast Asia, Vietnam specifically, so she really knows the food and I was able to benefit from her ordering! Only complaint I had on this was how greasy everything was. I get it needs to be cooked in oil, and that is a very Asian thing, but you can pat off a little grease to make it not slimy. The menu is also a bit overwhelming. They have SO MANY options, and you don't really know what they all are unless you know the language and writing, or you spend time asking the server. There were also some bites that lacked in flavor for me personally, but as far as authentic food, this is a great place to go. Bok Choy was great, but not as good as Lucky bamboo next door, the quail was unique and cooked well with great flavor, The options on the food you could get with the plate order was great, special sauces added to the meal, pho was best in Nashville I have had, and the traditional omelet, while greasy, was a great order and truly authentic from what my wife said! Overall, if you want really food authentic Vietnamese, go here. Price is good, it's tasty, authentic, definitely enough options, and you'll enjoy the unique atmosphere as well!

I originally wanted ramen but to my dismay, the place I was going to was closed for lunch. Quick thinking and remembering I love pho just as much landed me at Miss Saigon. Miss Saigon, much like other places up and down Charlotte Pike are a little sketchy. The unit is a little run down on the inside & the outside. However, don't let that deter you. One of my philosophies is that hole-in-the-wall restaurants have some of the best food. I ordered the Pho Dac Biet, or Beef Combination Pho. The combination of beef you get is rare steak, flank steak, brisket, tendon, tripe, and beef meat balls. Just a few things to note, pho does have slices of rare steak. The idea is that the broth is hot enough to cook it while it's in your bowl but sometimes that's not the case. If you need it to be more done, you have to ask your server. Tripe is the inside of a stomach. So yes, you're eating cow stomach lining. It sounds gross, but it doesn't really taste like anything. everything else is self-explanatory. Along with the pho, you get a plate of bean sprouts, jalapeno slices, basil, and a lime slice. Honestly, I've never had bad pho and this one is pretty good. I always add sriracha to bring up the heat level but once everything is mixed up really well, it's hard to beat that experience (especially if it's cold like it is now). It warms you up, it's filling, hearty, bold, salty, savory, a little bit tangy and refreshing. Now the bad part, which is why it didn't earn 5 stars. My service stank. I came in and there's a sign that says please wait to be seated. I stood there and the waiter/host just stared at me. I looked back at him and we just had a staring contest. I finally asked if "do I seat myself" and he said "anywhere you want". Then I sat there with the menu, found the pho, and waited for him to come back. Other people were seated and he took their orders although I was ready to place mine. Then finally, he forgot to give me my drink and I never saw him again to ask for it. When I checked out at the cash register, I reminded him he didn't give me my bottled water and he handed it to me while I was paying.

I have been going here since I was a baby. I recommend trying any of their special drinks, such as the corn milk or pandan milk. They are delicious and homemade! I've tried many things on their menu and they are all good. I really like their banh mi and com tam (broken rice). You cant go wrong with their wide selection of pho either. If you get pho, get pho dac biet. Miss Saigon is still one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants, but a few things have changed in recent years. They now serve their drinks in styrofoam cups instead of glass. Also, the food portions have gotten a little smaller. Regardless, I still love eating here and have lots of good memories of them.

It was interesting, had a weird almost foul smell upon entering, something you have to get used to. My pho was strange, had clove in it.. I fixed it up with lime, sauce and salt. Everyone else got this chicken tofu stuff they didn't really like it. Waiter was nice. We went on Christmas Day..

Had to be theBest Pho in Nashville! The staff is very friendly and there's hardly any wait time.

Such good food. Every time I visit Nashville, this and the other restaurants nearby are a mandatory stop. The location is weird, but the food is top notch.

Unpopular opinion, but This is by far the nastiest Pho I've ever had. Honestly not even edible, and I tossed the whole order in the trash. First, the ingredients came in a styrofoam container, and I'm still unsure why. The chicken was cold and slimy, and based on the pictures, you can tell I tried to get creative only to find out the broth tasted sweet and had a hint of cinnamon WTF!?! So yeah, 10 out of 10 don't recommend it. I'm aware I'm in TN, and I should be mindful of what I expect, but I expected better than this....never returning. One star to ensure I met Yelp requirements...

After a night of drinking, we needed pho ASAP. Luckily, we were able to order some on DoorDash without leaving our place. When the food arrived, some of the broth spilled even though it was taped down. Despite that, the food was still good. I ordered the Seafood Pho ($11.95), which comes with shrimp, imitation crab, squid, and fish balls. Of course they also give you bean sprouts and basil to add. Although seafood isn't your typical pho ingredients, it was a nice change. The broth was flavorful and exactly what we needed when hungover.

Best Pho in Nashville love it, 10/10 would recommend to anyone who's not from here. Also the servers are amazing and sup friendly

Oh my gosh, do NOT sleep on this place. The food is beyond delicious and well priced. The spot is casual and unassuming, which I love. Our waiter was quick and charming, making our entire experience a 10/10. Will definitely be back!

For my meal, I ordered the corn milk and the #42 Bun Miss Saigon. As someone who loves corn, I absolutely enjoyed the corn milk. A very sweet and refreshing drink. The noodle dish was delicious. It was topped with shrimp, chicken, BBQ pork, egg roll, and wrapped shrimp paste. It was a very sizeable portion! I also loooooved the corn dessert. Had a great meal! Can't wait to come back and explore their menu further.

As someone that has eaten at Miss Saigon on and off for years. I will never come here again. The price has continued to go up as quality as steadily decreased. Our table was sticky, service was almost none existent. The meat in my pho wasn't tender nor was it tasty. I'm super disappointed and honestly hoping we don't get sick.

Third review after 4 years: GO TO VN PHO & Deli across the street. PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE! The 2 men that "run this business" ARE VERY RUDE. Even my Vietnamese friend was very upset with how the manager was speaking to her. Every time I come here, I literally get the same exact thing for YEARS!! $7.95 - Regular Pho $2.00 - add shrimp FIRST TIME: I had 8 shrimps Now THE MANAGER MAKES ME ORDER $14.95 Seafood Pho and I don't like that nor is that what I want. two years ago the manager said "we can only add 4 shrimp or it's extra" "but next time get seafood pho" (he was clearly trying to upsell us) 3/13/23 now he says: " we can only add 2 shrimps for two dollars" Then continues to make me order the $14.95 SEAFOOD PHO! Sir, because I found a way to make your menu price cheaper does NOT MAKE IT OKAY TO DISRESPECT CUSTOMERS! We order 5 different orders, CANCELLED THEM ALL BECAUSE HE CAME BACK TRYING TO MAKE US BUY SOMETHING THAT COST MORE THAN WHAT I ORDERED. We went across the street to VN Pho & Deli and LITERALLY RECEIVED AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE! VN Pho has great food as well. Bye to Miss Saigon after 4 straight years!

Authentic Vietnamese Pho! For many years my favorite pho place! Egg rolls, sandwich, fresh rolls!!!! ALL GOOD!

I've been coming here for over a decade. However in the recent years, service has been terrible! I usually get pho tai and even the broth has gotten worse. Today decided to place an online order of bahn mi at 1:10, I went next door to go shopping and came in and my order was still not ready. It is now 2pm and I still do not have my order. Their excuse, that it's been busy but I am counting 10 booths open. Needless to say, this is the last time I am coming here.

Amazing food very authentic pho and Che ba Mau. In fact I'm dreaming of it already. The service was very speedy. However they did rush us because they were closing in an hour. Which I didn't mind, I had time to finish eating. The vibe in the restaurant is a classic hole in the wall. Nothing crazy very chill and quite. I really enjoyed the food and I will be back. I would say this place is perfect for small groups.

The Seafood And Beef Combo Pho was very good and plentiful, my first time at a Vietnamese Restaurant. My friend and I came on Thursday June 6th after work not busy at all... free parking makes a big difference nowadays. Service was good

I went with a group of friends and asked to pay separately. By the time it was my turn to pay, my bill looked suspiciously high so we asked the register person what I was charged for. He said we were actually undercharged and said we needed to pay even more. He couldn't give us a clear answer when we asked *what* we were charged for and kept asking the same questions over and over again like "what did you order". He did the math and it was much lower than what I actually paid for, yet he kept saying what I paid for was the right amount. After doing the same math multiple times, it still didn't add up to the amount I paid for, yet he said I didn't pay enough and that I was actually the issue for asking to split the bill. Not sure why that is when every other restaurant has no issue with it? I also went a year ago and I was overcharged that time too. The person at the register was different, but yelled at me saying all I had to do was ask my friend to venmo me and I was being too difficult. It's a shame that a restaurant can't even split bills properly and would rather be stubborn than admit a mistake. Whether they did it intentionally or not, I don't know. However, it's pretty embarrassing that basic add/subtracting is not a skill that the cash register is fluent with. Not to mention, the immaturity he displayed in his inability to just give an apology. TL;DR: Cash register can't do basic math, neither can he take accountability for his own mistakes. Anything that goes wrong is immediately the customer's fault! Also, if you order pho you have to ask for a plate of bean sprouts/basil/jalapeños because apparently it doesn't come with your order. Unheard of at any restaurant that sells pho, claims to be authentic Vietnamese but doesn't even have the basics.

I ordered a chicken Pho and it came with beef broth, I have had much better. It says 2 quails but it is actually 1 cut in a half. 2 stars just because the amount of Pho was big.

I have been coming here for a few years now. Great authentic Vietnamese food! The vegetarian choices are the reason for my return! The service is quick, I have memorized most of my choices. The freshness of the veggies really makes the flavors. I will not give 5 stars, waiting for 100% cleanliness. The tables can be a bit sticky, and the floor you may find a napkin here and there from previous customers. I still return here, it won't make that groused out. I love the corn milk, the avocado juice and as I mentioned the entire menu.

SO GOOD ! I knew this spot would be delicious being next to my favorite market K & S. Could possibly be the best quality veggie Pho (beef broth) I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying! Glad to have found my new favorite soup spot.

I've heard great things about Miss Saigon from a Vietnamese friend. So I decided to give it a try with them! I ordered the build your own pho and ordered meatballs and beef with it. For about $13, I felt like the quality and quantity exceeded my expectations. I got two meals out of it! The broth has a lot of depth to its flavor, the noodles are great texture, and the other fresh ingredients are a great addition. I liked the beef a lot, I did not like the meatballs as much as I thought I would, they had an unusual texture. My Vietnamese friend told me it's an authentic style of meatballs. Overall I enjoyed it and will return! You can dine in or order take out (we ordered over the phone smoothly).

I use to love this place, but since it's been under new management/owner it's kind of gone down hill. The customer service is awful. No greeting or even a smile. When Sat, they make you wait forever, even when they're not even busy. One star because it's the minimum requirement to post. VN Pho & Deli is so much better, parking is kind of small and they're cash only, but totally worth it. Better food and customer service.

I visited Miss Saigon on Sunday, October 4, 2020 around 1 pm. I was told this place was the best Vietnamese restaurant in the area. Unfortunately I was a little disappointed. I liked the shrimp tempura, it was crispy and light. The fresh spring rolls were also good. My only problems were the canh chua and ca kho to. The canh chua wasn't balanced and it was too sweet. The ca kho to was flavored well but too oily for my taste. I prefer the fish to be fillet because I didn't enjoy picking out bones after each bite. I want to say the fish was fresh but I have some reservations because of how thinly cut they were and they still held their shape. Service was average. The waiter didn't write down anything that I ordered. Then when I went to the front to pay, I had to tell the cashier what I ordered even though I noticed that the orders were already written down. I was still annoyed I had to repeat my order. There was no itemized receipt, so the restaurant could easily miscalculate the bill without you noticing.

Not a fan of this place, me and my wife feel like we were not given the same service as others bc the color of our skin color and they forgot about our food and when they brought it it's was burnt, I'll never go back

I ordered the Lemongrass Tofu and Bahn Mi online through Door Dash. When I opened up the Lemongrass Tofu, I was displeased to see a very unappealing looking meal and then I looked closer and found hair in my food and I wasn't able to eat it. The Bahn Mi was okay, but needed sauce and wasn't as good as the Bahn Mi I've had in the past.

Good VietNamese food. A little short on atmosphere but other natives eat here. We like to try different things when we go.

Love it. Pho is very good. Spring rolls are to tie for. Need to try more items on menu

Not a lot of Viet options in Nashville. This was recommended to us by a local. Food was good. I ordered the Miss Saigon vermicelli bowl. Loaded with all the meats and the noodles tasted fresh. Restaurant was pretty slow for a Monday night. But service was lackluster/non existent. We were seated but then waited almost 10 minutes for someone to come over. She took our order, someone else dropped off the food. I don't think we ever saw anyone back to check on us. You pay at the counter after you are done eating. Was not too impressed but it was way better than the other place we tried.

My husband ordered the Bun Miss Saigon(vermicelli noodle bowl) and I ordered the chicken pho. His was better than mine. And luckily he likes to share so I always get to taste whatever he orders. Our server was friendly and our food came out pretty quickly. The only reason I left off a star was because the bean sprouts served with my pho was old. I've been eating bean sprouts all my life and know they weren't very fresh. But if I were to go back, I'm getting the vermicelli bowl. It was delicious!

We went for the Pho & ended up enjoying many more Vietnamese delights! The food was wonderful!

NEED TO LEARN CUSTOMER SERVICE 101! Very disappointed with the service! Lined up: 15 min., waited for waiter to take order: 30 min, waited for food: more than 40 min! Seeing other tables coming in after us got the food, finished the meal! The owner was rude, not even a word of apology! We ended up cancel the meal and walked out! Customers don't go here for charity, this restaurant NEEDS TO LEARN CUSTOMER SERVICE 101!

This just was not a good visit. We had the egg rolls, calamari and Pho. Egg rolls dipping sauce tasted of nothing but straight fish sauce. The calamari was greasy. The Pho was decent. The service was lacking. Had to ask for more drink and then never saw server again. This will be our last visit.

This is the best Pho I've had in Nashville. The food was fresh, hot and flavorful. The service was great and the vibe reminds me of the west coast Pho restaurants I miss most. Simple, unassuming and worth it!
