Reviews for Saigon Cafe in St. Louis, MO
My GO TO HERE is their Chicken and Rice in clay pot with side salad! DELICIOUSNESS! Too much for one sitting… I got dinner... too! Super Yummy and HOT IN THE CLAY POT! COM GA HAINAN! Read more
Small nice clean restaurant, modern music setting and the waitress was pleasant. Their Bò Lúc L?c is delicious (and I don’t... say that often when I travel), the meat was tender and perfectly seasoned to eat with the rice. Their Pho(the broth was clearand HOT) and calamari(just a heads up: it’s a small portion for the price you pay) dish was pretty good. The downside, weordered our food without onions (repeatedly stating) and our food came out with onions twice, but the waitress was veryapologetic and enthusiastic in correcting the order. Main reason for the 4 stars, the bean sprouts had way too many hulls(theouter coat of bean sprout head, see pic). Been to many other pho restaurants, never seen so many hulls in the bean sprouts beingserved. Very unprofessional in my opinion. Read more
Absolutely delicious! We looked through a lot of pho places in St Louis and chose this one, and it was the right choice! Big... portions, lots of noodles, friendly staff, and quick service! Great vegetarian pho on top of the typical meat options. Theveggie broth was AMAZING, I kept thinking I was done, and then would go back in for a few more spoonfuls of broths. Wellbalanced flavors and lots of toppings. If you want great pho, don’t pass this place up! Read more
Clean restaurant, allergy friendly menu for: peanuts, gluten free & vegan. The waiter was a younger man, slightly awkward... interactions, wasn’t rude though. Ordered the vegan curry and was thrilled with it. Good playful flavor that wasn’t spicybut peppery. Loved the tofu, best tofu I’ve ever had from a restaurant. Would go again for that curry, reasonable wait time &relaxed atmosphere Read more
I tried this place for the first time the other day and was super impressed! The vermicelli salad was so delicious and... flavorful. But the spring rolls that came with it were some of the best I’ve ever had. They were so flaky and tasted homemade.My fiancé and I couldn’t stop talking about them the next day. Read more
Yikes. I’ll start with the food. I asked if the dumplings were handmade and told that everything is made there. However, for... 12.00 I was served 5 dumplings that are indistinguishable from the ones you buy in the freezer isle. Second- the entrees areserved with TOO MUCH FISH SAUCE, which is a common mistake- but when I pay 20$ for a chicken dish IT SHOULDN’T taste likefish. I cook with it all the time- it’s not supposed to make your entire plate taste like fish. Next- service. The serverdidn’t bus ONE DISH, didn’t refill ONE GLASS, and didn’t drop check or check on us or pick up menus. So- when you considerpaying a high price for the area, but are more traveled and not stuck in St. Louis, I warn you now, this place only has highratings because this AREA rates “expensive” food better. I’m serious, it’s a phenomenon- but I’ve lived here 5 yearsnow- there are PLENTY of places with slightly lower ratings, (only because the prices are better) and better food VERY CLOSE BY. Read more
The E4 was one of the most Beautiful things I've eaten all year. All the herbs were extremely extremely flavorful. Then flan... was heavily disappointing and we did not want to finish it. Did not enjoy how the flavor was coconut based and was just a belowaverage flan. Read more
Great Pho here be sure to try the different sauces with your dish. There is also a wide variety of different dishes to be... had. Had fun with some of the drink names, the drink shown here is the hot cocoa with toasted marshmallows, cinnamon and mint.Plus, the chocolate on the side, sweet and warm. Read more
