One of the most authentic Vietnamese places I have ever been to. Food is fresh and ridiculously delicious, prices are beyond reasonable, and even the service is perfectly authentic (down-to-business quick and efficient). Try the pho. Try the banh mi. Try the cubed beef with rice or soy drink or summer rolls. There is no wrong choice on the entire menu. Do yourself a favor and eat at Saigon City. The only regret you'll have is not coming here sooner.

Best deal in town for consistently great Vietnamese food. Try the imperial rolls for sure, the rice plates one being the lemon grass chicken and fantastic Pho. Highly recommend.

The place next door had a long line, this place could seat me immediately, so I ended up here. This is definitely a no frills place. The dishes are extremely simple. I was very full by the end of the meal and the price was right, but the dish had no flair. I could see why some thought servers were rude, but I think it's more of a cultural difference in serving vs the American way. It was very clear that regulars are treated like family, very loving. I received everything I needed in a timely manner. The soy ginger sauce was outstanding, much better than the sweet and sour sauce.

Favorite Vietnamese place around SM. Been going here for 20+ years. Inexpensive. Food is great.

Great food at great prices. The restaurant is small but no wait to be seated. Parking can be a pain, it's hit and miss.
