Saigon Corner

Delicious authentic Vietnamese food. One of the best in San Diego. They have a great outdoor area as well. We been here once a while ago but the owner still recognizes us. She is very sweet and welcoming.

i ordered Bun Bo Hue and it's good, trust, i'm Viet and more people should come try this place out, my friends also ordered Com Suon and Bun Rieu, they are all very decent.

The menu keeps changing as they are still figuring out what works and what doesn’t work. We came at peak lunch time on a Saturday and our food came out quick. We ordered: -Chicken wing garlic fish sauce: This was crispy and seasoning was right on. We liked how it was fried and wanted to try other flavors but got too full. -Broken rice grilled pork: Loved that they offer legit broken rice, the bbq pork was nicely char and moist. The egg loaf was a bit dry. -Bánh canh tôm cua: least favorite out of all. The broth has a thick consistency similar to egg drop soup with starchy tapioca noodles. Broth wasn’t as flavorful as other places and lacking more shrimp flavors. -Crispy fried egg noodle w beef: Can’t go wrong with this dish. Crispy noodles with veggies on top. -Periwinkle snails in coconut milk: wow, the portion was generous. I prefer the curry broth to be more curry-like, it was more of a watered down coconut curry. -mussels with green onion sauce: This was prepared nicely. You must dip in their sauce to get the whole experience. For drinks, I got the coconut coffee I tasted the coffee and coconut flavors, wasn’t too sweet. My friend got the coconut kumquat. She likes that it was refreshing and they used whole kumquats with the skin. She also tasted a bit of lemon and preferred it to be more sour and not so sweet. Overall, this place gives you a glimpse of Vietnamese street food. I like the seafood items. Reminds me of night market. If we come back, I’ll get the escargot just because those are bigger than the snails and less effort to eat. You can enter from the parking lot or through the supermarket.

Wanted to try this place out based on some recommendations. The sizzling Platter with the steak and pate was amazing. I'm sad they didnt have Razor Clams this time, but we got the escargot and the scallops. Would come again.

Such a great local Vietnamese spot in heart of Mira Mesa! Give it a try. Their noodle soups are so flavorful and com suong is the best! Amazing price and huge portion too!

Friendly service, excellent authentic Vietnamese street food with 99% taste accuracy. Their mi cay reminds me about familiar Vietnamese ingredients used in every street food vendor in Vietnam. Must try da me, earl grey, corn milk. They all win my heart!!! Worth to try 👍👍

Saigon Corner is an absolute gem for Vietnamese cuisine, and their Bò Né is a standout dish. This dish is absolutely incredible—served sizzling hot on a cast iron plate with sardines, eggs, pâté, and that buttery, savory sauce that ties everything together perfectly. Pair it with the warm, crusty baguette they serve on the side, and you’ve got a meal that hits all the right notes. The flavors are rich and comforting, with just the right amount of spice and balance. You can tell it’s made with care and attention to detail. It’s the kind of dish that keeps you coming back for more. The staff at Saigon Corner are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They always greet you with a smile and provide attentive, caring service throughout your meal. It’s clear they go out of their way to make you feel like family, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere every time you visit. If you’re craving real Vietnamese food or just want to try something new, Saigon Corner is a must visit. Highly recommended!

Great authentic Vietnamese noodle dishes! Good portion and friendly staff as well :)

Best Bun Rieu in town I love all the foods here, very authentic Vietnamese foods yummy

Got greeted by an older guy and then pretty much ignored by the 2 ladies who were also working. Had to wave to order food. The bun mam was just ok, nothing too crazy, i've had better. The dry egg noodle was fine, does come with a bone broth. The only good thing is the sugarcane juice, it's freshly made, kinda pricey but i guess it makes sense. The whole place doesn't feel that welcoming, no background music, no ambiance light, staff don't come and check on you whatsoever. Overall, i might just call ahead and order togo or just comeback for the sugarcane juice. Not worth dining in.

Saigon Corner, I ordered mì gõ and bún riêu. The flavors aren't traditional, and I felt like something was missing. On the positive side, the dishes are served very hot. The staff are friendly and enthusiastic, which I really appreciated. The restaurant is small but clean. Parking is spacious and conveniently located next to Vinh Hung market Food: 1/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 3/5

Went to check this place out because my wife and I wanted soup. She ordered the bun Bo hue and I ordered beef rib soup. Service was great but I think the servers didn't speak much English which was fine because we pointed at the items we wanted on the menu. The food came out and it was a good portion. Both our soups were pretty tasty especially when you add the condiments they had. Wish they offered lime to add like all the other Vietnamese restaurants but the food tasted fine without it. I finished my bowl and my son finished his kids meal. The fried fish with the roe inside was soooooo good! Reminded me of China max back then because they were the only one that had that. There's alot to try on the menu so we shall be back. Inside the restaurant was ok. They had fans inside running because of the heat. Nice little mom and pop shop feeling.

I ordered bún mắm and it was just okay. For $18, it should have more noodles. The bitter melon was undercooked, it was hard and not soft. The broth flavor was okay. Pretty spacey inside. Service could have been better. No one came to check on us once the food was out.

Minus one star primarily bc everything took so long, but really all the food was really good! It reminded me of an eatery in OC that I love to go to. They have a ton of different food options which is probably why their service is so slow. The sea snails were amazing, their squid?mango salad was so good, their clams, the rice roll! Seriously everything we had was so good for San Diego standards (not sure if it's good as the food in OC or back in the homeland of VN) Would def come back, but hoping they get their timing and service together. This is attached to a supermarket, so it's really a no frills restaurants. Very casual with a lot of open tables.

Located on the side of Vinh Hung Supermarket. Only saw 2 elderly couple dining in. Saw them advertised on FB that they would be serving Chao Long (Pork Offal Porridge) every Thursday and Friday so I stopped in to order togo. Not very many places make this hearty soup. 1st thing I noticed is that it wasn't even that hot when I got home and I only live 5 mins away. Had to reheat it in the microwave. They give a decent amount of offal for 1 bowl and it didn't have a bad taste or odor. Overall 2.5 out of 5. Nothing too special. I wouldn't order it again for almost $17 a bowl. TBH I haven't heard a lot good things about this place but supposedly they recently changed up their menu and they're trying to see what works best for them. Hopefully they can do better. Otherwise, they won't last just like the previous owners.

The menu keeps changing as they are still figuring out what works and what doesn't work. We came at peak lunch time on a Saturday and our food came out quick. We ordered: -Chicken wing garlic fish sauce: This was crispy and seasoning was right on. We liked how it was fried and wanted to try other flavors but got too full. -Broken rice grilled pork: Loved that they offer legit broken rice, the bbq pork was nicely char and moist.

We had some questions about the menu (the pho we saw pics of on yelp was not on the menu) but the server did not speak much English. There was a bit of a wait for our food as there was a large (10+) party that was being served at the same time. However the food came out hot and was quite tasty. Favorite of the bunch was definitely the very unique shrimp and crab udon, would definitely come back in for that. Typical casual dine in vibes inside.

My family's favorite viet restaurant in San Diego. Completely authentic food that even my picky mom (someone who doesn't like to eat out for viet food because her cooking is always better) approves. Service is friendly. Hope this place survives for years to come. Bonus is their strong viet ice coffee.

Saigon Corner is the replacement for another Vietnamese eatery that had occupied a corner annex to the Vinh Hung Supermarket in the Village at Mira Mesa. The space was connected to the market through a corridor filled with other vendors. About 50 customers could be seated in the dining area which also had a small karaoke/stage setup next to the main entrance leading outside. Several menu screens were mounted behind the service counter, but I found it easier to read from the takeout menu. The listings were in numeric order, but they didn't seem to follow any logical progression. There was a mix of appetizers, soups, small plates, and entrees on the internal pages. The beverages and desserts were located on the external pages. I selected the Fish Balls with Garlic as a starter and the Garlic Butter Noodles with Crawfish as a main dish. There were three skewers each speared with three fish balls that were sprinkled with garlic seasoning. The exterior was chewy while the inside was not as firm as I expected for the ground up fish. The noodles were served with chopped onions and several pieces of crawfish. A side salad was also added to the dish. The noodles were buttery yet I didn't find the garlic flavor to be strong. The portion size was mediocre for the $17.95 price.

The aroma from this bowl of soup definitely takes me back to the mother land. The broth is bold and promotes the bun rieu's taste. The rieu it self is seasoned to perfection and the cha has the perfect bite to it and just melts with each bite. I haven't had a bowl like this in a while and yes this is better than home cooked for sure. They must have a secret method to bring out the flavor like this I am truly impressed. This hidden gem is worth a visit its attached to a supermarket. Service is fast and friendly in a very clean environment. Im Definitely coming back

If you want Vietnamese food, this place isnt it! Well, actually if you want a decent or an edible meal this isnt the place for you! However, if you are harving and this happened to be the place where you consume your first meal for the day, maybe this is ok, after all how can you go wrong with Rice, right? Well... I was wrong, I opt'd for the broken rice with the sardine/egg, rice was too hard! The sardine was still cold even on the sizzling iron plate. It was like straight from the can to the table. The chicken rice was OMG, how THE HECK can a restaurant serve this OVER fried superdry no taste stale chicken... Should have followed my instinct walk out when there's no customers during dinner time on a Saturday. Why the 2 stars? 1* for the atmosphere, 1* for accepting credit card w/o extra fee.

Had cravings for banh cuon and my usual spot was closed, so decided to give this place another try. For a Wednesday afternoon, it was super empty, but I had called my order in so it was ready when I arrived. I decided to add a coconut coffee, which took a while to make. Worth the wait but definitely something to consider if I'm in a rush. It had great flavor, perfectly sweet and had toasted coconut on the top with jelly at the bottom, and definitely had lot of caffeine! The banh cuon I got was the traditional one with the pork loaf. It was good, but I feel like the ratio of meat to carb was off.. I would've liked either a little less rice sheet or more meat. The fish sauce it came with was good and it was a good portion. They have a pretty extensive menu that I would like to come back to try one day though! Give this place a try if you're in the area!

Came here with a big group to celebrate a birthday, eat some good food, and sang some karaoke. This is a new restaurant in Mira Mesa that offers delicious Vietnamese staples and street food that I haven't seen anywhere else in SanDiego. Items we tried: Chicken Knee Cartilage, Mussels w/Green Onion Oil, Escargots w/Garlic Sauce, Thai Yom Yum Hot Pot, Buttered Corn, Periwinkle Snails Definitively my new favorite place

I normally get a bone-in pho but decided to change it up and Ordered a B10 on the menu with grilled beef and egg rolls. Decided to get creative and ordered a small side of broth. It was good and hit the spot! Went during lunch time by myself and sat at the bar. Service was swift and attentive. There were people seated as it is during lunch time. Plenty of parking as well.

I've been seeing a lot of good review about this place so we decided to try it. The place is clean and the staff are friendly. The waiting time for the food to arrive is very long. We order udon crab noodle, soup, mussel and French fries. The udon crab noodle come out 15 minutes after we order. The next one is mussel and it took another 15 minutes. We have to ask the staff to do the French fries first since my kid getting inpatient. The fries took 45 minutes to come out and the soup took almost an hour to come out. We end up taking the soup togo since it is too late. Food is okay, the soup is a little salty and they didn't have the ketchup to eat with French fries. We ended up buying in the market next to it. I would not come back since the it takes so long for the food to arrive and if you go as a group, one people finished eating and the other one still not have the food yet.

Came for a late lunch -- definitely better than last time since it wasn't as crowded. The place has a modern, dark-toned vibe that's geared more toward a younger crowd. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and we were greeted right away. We ordered the Saigon Noodle Soup (light, clear broth with shrimp and pork -- a bit too plain for our taste), the Vietnamese Udon Soup (thicker broth with crab and mushrooms -- decent but not memorable), and the Filet Mignon Steak Platter (the best of the three). The beef was flavorful, and the crunchy bread with egg yolk dip was a nice touch. One thing we really liked is that their menu has a good variety -- from noodle soups to rice dishes and appetizers -- so there's something for everyone. Overall, the food was okay -- not amazing, but not bad either. For the price and choices of the dishes, it's a decent spot for a casual date or family meal, but probably not a place we'd rush back to.

Place was not busy when we visit. Came here for the street-food they offer. Service was excellent and staff are all quick. Food was surprisingly plated well, and taste is good that we didn't had any to go. Feels like tasting different side of Vietnamese food. Besides the usual pho and eggroll.

Ordered some take out from here and was a bit disappointed over the weekend. For the price and the amount of food that you get, it's not worth it. $18+ for tiny little portions. We ordered banh canh(this was decent), snails with garlic(maybe 5 snails) - disappointed, chicken hearts - super disappointed too. We also tried to order the cartilage and also the gizzard but they didn't have any. How does a place have such a limited menu or run out of items on a weekend?! Not sure if I'll want to return with these tiny expensive dishes.

Really enjoyed our lunch here. Ordered the Saigon style noodle soup with soup on the side and rice noodle dish with meat and mushroom

I was there with my friend for lunch on Wednesday. It's my first time to this place the foods is great but the service kind slow they're just need to get more help. I'm thinking on the weekend if anyone come here need to repair to wait. Over all for sure I come back here & definitely referred my friends to come here.

I live in Mira Mesa and was very excited to try this new gem. It was so good that I took my sister with me the next day! My favorite is the Hu Thieu with the soup on the side with Me Da (Tamarind Drink). I will definitely try almost all of the dishes on their menu! The older man is so cute and the young lady is very sweet as well. They're very friendly and generous. Please give this restaurant a visit, you won't regret it.

I consider this a hidden gem! Everything was yummy from appetizers to drinks! Service was great. Ambiance is simple, yet peaceful. Highly recommend! "Life is short. Let's Eat!" ~ Love their motto. Lol

I like the spicy noodle soup #5 and the #6 ice tamarind drink. Its a good level of spiciness for me with a little bit of sourness like kimchi and richness from the pork bone broth. Its filled to the brim with toppings and the noodles were a great texture. The garlic fried beef noodles were very garlicky and topped with some well seared cubes of beef. The side salad had a nice sesame dressing and some very ripe mini tomatoes. Cant ever go wrong with a passion fruit green tea to round out the savoriness of the dish. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The ambiance of the restaurant is so much better than the previous owner. The renovated space is very nice and has a fresh feel

The food was amazing! Service was fast, and the atmosphere was calm and inviting with soothing music playing in the background. It's such a cute spot with friendly workers--I felt very welcomed. We ordered the Bò Né and the Bún Riêu--both were absolutely delicious. The dishes came out piping hot and stayed hot until the very last bite, which I really appreciated. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, especially the veggies that came with the Bún Riêu. Lastly we ordered Boba and Cafe Sua Da and it was very refreshing (boba) and strong tasting (cafe). We will definitely be back. Highly recommend this place!

I came and ordered something to go this morning, they ran out of rice so the fried rice with crawfish was replace with garlic noodles and crawfish which was better than the fried rice, a bit spicy but really good. I also ordered the broken rice with pork chop and meatloaf and the bbq beef on the stick with sweet potato fries a crispy fried shrimp and steam rice roll. I also ordered the tamarind drink and black milk tea. A little slow on the service but the drink came out quickly, the lady asked me if she can replace the rice because they ran out of rice. I think that slows down the food more because they have to replace the fried rice. I just wish they have the tv playing even if they have Vietnamese movies or news going, I don't mind watching anything that will keep me busy while waiting or even music to keep me entertained.

The food was excellent, and it was great to see that everyone enjoyed it. The street food stood out as the highlight of the meal, and the drinks complemented the experience nicely. Overall, it was a delightful experience!

Good com thit nuong bi cha, friendly environment. Authentic Vietnamese food, recommend.

My first time to try this place and 2 that I ordered is on the spot very delicious and fillet mignon is so tender. Will comeback here.

DO NOT order their Vietnamese ice coffee. They do.not make the coffee. It is a supermarket dark chocolate milk. The chocolate milk comes in a bottle and pass it on as Vietnamese ice coffee. Damn thing is $6.50. Too bad yelp doesn't have negative stars. This restaurant would be on the lowest rating available. I won't be coming back nor recommend anyone to come here. Avoid at all cost. Thank me later.

Delicious food! I had the hủ tiếu, mì cay, and sườn gà--all super flavorful and fresh. Great service and fast too. I'll be back!

Always check your food before eating Most of the food I've tried here is pretty decent. However, since the restaurant is still new, their system and service aren't very efficient yet. If you have a lot of time and don't mind if service is good or not, and you're mainly here for the taste, this place might be worth trying. Otherwise, be prepared for long wait times, either to receive your food or to be informed that your order is out of stock. Both times I visited, I waited over 30 minutes just to find out the item I ordered wasn't available. Personally, I didn't mind the wait, but it could be frustrating for others. In my last visit, I ordered their balut and was served a spoiled one. Unfortunately, I ate half of it and started noticing the strange taste, then checked the other half and discovered green-black moldy discoloration and signs of spoilage. Now I'm just bracing myself for the incoming food poisoning and hoping for the best. My recommendation: always check your food, stick with their noodle dishes for a quicker and safer experience, and avoid the balut for now as it can spoil easily and very harmful to eat.

The food wasn't that great on the fried noodle dish the onions were undercooked. The soup was ok. There was nothing special about it. The bread on the Bahn Mi was old.

Bad Vietnamese dishes! Ordered their snails (which were smelly despite having the kitchen recooked it) and rotisserie chicken (which were crazy salty). I came during lunch time and the inside was dark... I thought I was dining in Alcatraz prison. The 2 teen-aged waitresses were disappointing, as the elder kitchen staffs had to bring out our orders rather than them... while all they did were taking our orders and gossiping in the corner. They did not even bother checking on us about the food, but the older staffs did (which we were grateful for). I had to tip the kitchen staffs separately for this. That's it! Not worth a second visit from us.

I ordered banh canh, hu tieu kho, and chicken wings to-go and it was so yummy! The banh canh was thick just the way I like it and how i used to have it growing up! I will definitely be back and dine in next time!

New place in Mire Mesa. Service was great, plenty of parking, food was not bad. Some were good some can be improved but that is just our preference. Everyone will have different taste flavors. Spicy noodle for me is not spicy at all for the highest level they have. Overall not too bad.

I had an amazing dining experience at this authentic Vietnamese restaurant- Saigon Corner in San Diego, California last night. We went in a group so that it's a good chance to try a variety of food. My friend tried the Vietnamese pork noodle soup- Mì Gõ khô and it was perfectly cooked noodles with flavourful broth. I also tried the rice with fried chicken, and it was equally impressive. We also ordered wonton soup, and ox tail beef noodle which is really fragrant and tasty. We had milk tea, Đá Me (Tamarind and peanut), and orange fruit tea. All of them are comforting. If you're looking for a place that serves authentic Vietnamese food, this spot is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

First time here. We tried bún riêu, bún thịt nướng, chicken wings and tamarind escargot. Everything was great so we got cơm tám bì thịt nướng/xừơng nướng and mì hoành thánh togo. Gonna try new stuff next tim.

Food and service was amazing. Would definitely come back for their snails and mussels. The rolled pho was great too.

I would give 0 stars if possible. Our experience did not meet the bare minimum expectation. We waited approximately 50 mins just for food that still had not come out. One dish came out before anyone else's with hair. When it was pointed out, the server pulled the piece of hair out of the dish and left the table. We were utterly shook. After 50 minutes of waiting for food upon being seated, we decided to leave and go to Ngon Ngon To-Go, which was a world of a difference in experience. Should've just gone there in the first place since we've always had a wonderful and over the top experience with not only their food, but service. Ngon Ngon sat us right away, we ordered food and the food came out within 10 minutes. Don't waste your time at Saigon Corner, go to Ngon Ngon...you will not be at all disappointed in doing so.

We were walking by on the way somewhere else and it was about dinner time, and we'd planned to get Viet anyway, so my kids said hey let's stop here. I said sure even though from outside the place doesn't look like much and the food on their banner looks generic. The very friendly staff seated us outside though and I started looking at the menu and realized even before ordering, this place is the real deal. We got bun bo hue, bun rieu, and some garlic butter snails. The snails were delicious, in creamy butter and crispy fried garlic and peanuts, and both soups had perfectly seasoned broth with plenty of just firm enough noodles. The blood cake, tofu, and pork and crab party in the bo rieu were all cooked perfectly and the shredded shoots were a nice touch. The Bun Bo Hue was rich and spicy with nice cuts of meat. Their in house pickles and hot sauces are delicious, and I specifically asked if they could sell me a jar of one of their house sauces (they did). Price was reasonable and actually I kinda liked the inside, very working class Mira Mesa vibe and I assume they do karaoke there sometimes based on the screen. It was too late to try the coffees or teas but I will next time I head back, which will be soon.

Reallly delicious! Loved the Saigon style noodles and bo ne, will definitely be coming back

Delicious and authentic Vietnamese food, generous portions. We ordered Shrimp and crab udon soup, Egg noodle soup. Dumpling egg noodle soup and also very good Iced milk coffee with herbal jelly and basil seeds. They have fresh brew teas, will try milk tea later. Nice, clean and casual restaurant and good service.

Mì xào giòn. Ăn cũng giống Việt Nam lắm ! Có thêm tỏi ngâm chua ăn kèm! Cọng mì có chút khác, và rưới nước sốt tập trung vào giữa nên bị mềm ở giữa nhiều, làm ăn hơi ngán.

Great service, great food. For those who can't go to OC and are craving Saigon street food.

I stopped by today and tried the Hu Tieu Kho and Mi Cay - both dishes were delicious! The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the portion sizes were generous. Highly recommended!!

The food was amazing--fresh, tasty, and well-cooked. The atmosphere was perfect--warm, cozy, and nice to be in. The staff was friendly and helpful. Everything was just right. 10/10, highly recommend!

Went there yesterday but the store is closed. Don't know if the hours on google is updated or not. Google said you're open and close on Tuesday. Went there on Thursday and you were closed. Wasted my time for driving.
