Saigon Deli isn't just a restaurant; it's a vibrant, delicious, and incredibly authentic escape! My husband and I were craving pho, and we stumbled upon this absolute gem – and it has officially become one of our top favorite spots.
From the moment you step inside, you know you've found something special. It's the quintessential "hole-in-the-wall" eatery, with no pretense, just the comforting sights of incredible food, smiling staff, and happy customers. The bustling atmosphere instantly transports you to Vietnam, a truly immersive experience. Finding a seat can be a friendly challenge, a testament to its popularity, but even if you have to wait a moment, it's worth it. They even offer outdoor seating for those warmer days.
The three-page menu is wonderfully simple, and the prices? Unbeatable. Seriously. We're talking Banh Mis for a mere $5.50, pho for just $12, and every other entree capped at a maximum of $13! The portions are also incredibly generous; every plate coming out of the kitchen was piled high with deliciousness.
I dove into the Special Pho Soup with beef, brisket, meatball, tendon, and tripe, while my husband opted for the Spicy Bun Noodle Soup with beef, pork, and tendon. Both bowls were bursting with incredible, complex flavors – so rich and delicious that we practically downed them, despite the massive size. We definitely struggled to finish, but in the best way possible! We rounded off our fantastic meal with two perfectly refreshing taro bobas for $5 each.
Saigon Deli is an authentic culinary treasure that you absolutely should not pass up. If you're in the mood for an unforgettable Vietnamese meal that feels like a true journey, this is your spot.
