Saigon Kitchen & Bar

The atmosphere is the best part about Saigon, great date option. The most unique aspect is the option to split the bowls into 2. Great way to share multiple dishes and try their menu. The pho was very solid, great broth and noodles. The duck ramen was different from a traditional ramen, duck was well cooked but I was not the biggest fan of the broth and noodles. The Bahn mi was good with the bread being the standout there. Fish ceviche tacos were a good appetizer. Overall a solid addition to Ann Arbor pho places, definitely in my top 3.

Good Pho, however - I have never really been a fan of the QR code/order off the phone style that you guys have. We are also expected to pay/tip through the phone which I dont really care for, and for a server that isnt there to discuss the menu with us. You guys are also charging top price. Totally understand that it's a college town and it probably is efficient during late nights, but feels lazy on the restaurants part. I am no stranger to technology, its definitely not an issue there - I just like putting the phone down a little when im having a meal with a friend or a loved one. If I wanted a QR code for a menu I would just go to Applebee's bro, just saying 😂 Also, the male server we had seemed like he lowkey had an attitude, but that could've just been misinterpretation on my part I was really tired that day.

Atmosphere is nice, but the food portion is very small for the price. Smallest pho bowl I ever had at a pho restaurant. The flavour is very good though

If you’re in Ann Arbor and looking for a vegan spot that doesn’t make you feel like you’re chewing on sadness, Lotus Cafe is your new best friend. This place is like the lovechild of Pho and Vegan heaven—seriously, who knew those two could get along so well? First off, the prices are shockingly decent. I mean, we tried another Asian place across the street, and Lotus Cafe’s food was tastier *and* almost half the price. It’s like finding out your favorite band is playing a secret show for free—pure joy. The chef-owner here is basically a vegan superhero, he was vegan for a year and wants to ensure vegan/vegetarians has some solid options in Ann Arbor. You can tell he’s on a mission to make vegan food so good, even meat-eaters will be sneaking in for seconds. We sampled a few dishes, and here’s the scoop: - Curry Butternut Squash Soup (vegan):5 stars, no question. If this soup were a movie, it’d win all the Oscars. Must try. - Mushroom Steamed Dumplings (vegan):Pretty good, but there was something mysterious going on that made them a tiny bit demanding—like they wanted more attention or something. - Mushroom Tacos (vegan):Super yummy! These tacos are basically a party in your mouth, especially with the sriracha sauce. Highly recommend. - Agedashi Tofu (vegan): Nice try, but the soup could use a little more oomph. It was like the tofu showed up ready to dance, but the soup forgot the music. Oh, and the Thai iced tea? Perfectly sweet and refreshing—like a little vacation in a glass. Service was friendly and quick, and the portions? Let’s just say you won’t leave hungry or sad. Bottom line: Lotus Cafe is a vegan gem in Ann Arbor. Whether you’re a full-time vegan, a curious vegetarian, or just someone who loves tasty food without breaking the bank, this place has your back. I’m already planning my next visit—because once you’ve had that curry squash soup and mushroom tacos combo, you’re hooked.

Chef Danny has changed things up from the old Taste Kitchen and I am a big fan! It is the same lovely space and cozy, inviting vibe with a new menu that is interesting and very reasonably priced. Cocktails are thoughtfully crafted. I had the Lolachezaia, smoky, savory and uniquely flavorful. The food is amazing with lots of great vegan options.My friends and I shared several appetizers and they were all delicious. The surf and turf pho was outstanding, the best thing I've eaten so far this year. On a previous visit we had the laksa and shaking beef. Both were excellent. This new, more casual menu is full of fresh, bright and exciting flavors at surprisingly affordable prices. A great place for date night or just to hang out with friends. I am already looking forward to my next meal there and soon!

OMG…awesome food, great environment, the location is amazing! Right next to Graffiti Alley! You CANNOT go wrong! Make sure you get something with the Pate. Best I’ve had in my life!

Adventured to Ann Arbor to try Red Lotus Plant Based Kitchen ( Taste Kitchen ). Everything I had was delicious, and I was really full by the end. Service was a bit slow as there was only one person working as a server AND the cook. Not every item is vegan and it shares space with The Pho Shop, so be mindful of that when ordering. I got the Mushroom Steamed Dumplings, Vietnamese Vegan Winter Rolls, Vegan Paella, and Coconut Panna Cotta. The rolls break easy so best to eat them in one bite. The sauce was great with the dumplings. Happy they offer vegan dessert too! The inside has a really nice vibe for lunch.

We sat at the bar and the service was exceptional. Happy hour options and pricing were incredible - happy hour on a Saturday!! Highly recommend the meatballs, the 1/2 Bahn Mi and Pho ( dip the sandwich in the Pho) and the surf and turf pho. Coconut Panna Cotta with a nice dessert wine was a wonderful way to end the meal. Will definitely come back!
