"There’s a new casual Vietnamese spot in the CID with a big menu of broken rice plates, banh mi, and fried fish balls. But it’s their over-the-top drinks that have the internet abuzz, like a nearly life-size Labubu milk tea topper you eat instead of clipping to your purse. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Kayla Sager-Riley
"The barbecue pork banh mi at Saigon Vietnam Deli is a treat, but don’t overlook the “lunch box” of two or three entrees and a pile of rice for just a few bucks more. Beef stew, stuffed bitter melon, and coconut chicken are among the top picks. As with other nearby delis in the Chinatown–International District — a comparison between this place and the similarly named Saigon Deli a block away can provoke endless debate — diners can also buy fresh spring rolls, banh cuon (rice crepes), sweets, and other Vietnamese bites." - Jay Friedman
"Many bánh mì spots in town are known for their barbecued pork. Saigon Vietnam Deli is no exception, but their roasted pork is even better than their grilled kind. Not to mention that their pickled daikon is one of the tangiest in the city, so we welcome this combination of tender, warm pork and a considerable amount of cold sourness with open arms." - aimee rizzo, carlo mantuano, gabe guarente
"A go-to spot in the CID for quick banh mi, recommended as a reliable, fast option for Vietnamese sandwiches." - Eater Staff
"Most of the bánh mì spots in town are known for their barbecued pork. Saigon Vietnam Deli is no exception, but you don’t need it. Their roasted pork is even better, and the pickled daikon is the tangiest in the neighborhood. They also have other options, like rice plates topped with various stews, but you want this roasted pork sandwich." - aimee rizzo, carlo mantuano, kayla sager riley
