Saigon Pho Kitchen

Noel and I went to another Vietnamese restaurant but it was closed so I was able to locate this restaurant via Yelp App. It was only about 5 miles from where we were but unfortunately back to near where we started. Located near the hospital complex. The parking lot was empty so we thought this one was closed too...but thank goodness they were open. We went inside where they had examples of the bowl sizes on display along with menus. The instructions said to find a table that was available and turn our display to show taken. To figure out what we wanted, then go to kiosk place order and pay. They will bring our food out. Everything was pretty self explanatory. Is this the way it's done overseas? Noel and I both chose Beef Pho, shared some spring rolls with peanut dipping sauce and I got a unsweetened bottled tea and Noel went with a Strawberry Bubble Tea with a milk based flavoring. It was a jelly textured bubble in her drink, too sweet for me. We went to salad bar and got our Cilantro, Thai basil, spices, bean sprouts and jalapenos. This was to put in our medium bowls of Pho. The food was very good. I'm still trying to learn how to use chopsticks. The fried garlic spice was good. The Pho was amazing and we had plenty to take home as leftovers but the spring rolls were horrible. The wrappers were like a rubbery covering, very thick and rubbery. I couldn't handle the texture of it. So, I broke it open and put into my Pho bowl. The food was good enough to go back again. I definitely want to try the Banh Mi sandwich, especially the grilled on!!! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for some great Pho. Prices were sort of high but I don't get this very often , so very worth it. Just not crazy about those Spring Rolls...

$2 for soy sauce now.. 100% increase over a week. Come on.. Reply: No we always come in and order. We (group of 4-8 people) used to come in twice a week for a few years. We have seen how your price drastically increase, and portions drastically decrease, (inflation/supply chain I get it) and now it's once a week. You used to give a large container of soy sauce for $1, which was enough so I didn't mind paying it. Last week it was $1 for half of a small container or soy sauce. Yesterday, at your restaurant it was $2 for 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, which was the final straw. It's interesting how the prices of your food keep increasing (upwards of 40-50%). Other restaurant in town, such as volcano have raised prices ONCE and they're buying sushi grade fish, not low grade cuts of beef to make broth. In my eyes you're using inflation as an excuse to gouge people.

Warning from a Pho expert: Scam with the MEAT!!!! Stay away from their Pho Tai (S1 selection, sliced beef steaks soup noodles)!!! I ordered a beef steak pho today and got this cooked white meat. In their description, this soup noodles should be with rare to medium cooked beef slices meat, they are totally cooked, that’s not the biggest problem, but white meat serving so called “steak slices”!?!? I asked them to bring the raw steak slices out, the minute I looked at them, I thought they are pork, YES, PORK, pink color meat. Of course I couldn’t just put those raw meat in, so I ate one piece of those fully cooked in my bowl and I knew it’s not beef, nothing taste like beef meat, more like dried overcooked and tasteless pork. The soup with beef shouldn’t be that clear and tasteless, because beef meat are more juicy. Super disappointed, I don’t mind they don’t speak English, but please serve what it’s said on the menu. The second stars are given for their boba tea and the vermicelli noodles with grilled meats, they were good.

Vacationing in Morgantown and found this restaurant while trip planning. I ordered $30 worth of food because I wanted to try so many dishes. I got the lettuce wrapped chicken egg rolls, spicy beef noodle soup and Durian coconut sticky rice. I was expecting a lot more lettuce for the lettuce wrapped chicken egg rolls. I guess I was supposed to get the lettuce from the self serve bar. My mistake considering my first time here. The spicy beef noodle soup is so spicy! 🥵 Lol. I expected pho noodles but I got the round noodles which reminds me of spaghetti noodles. I prefer rice noodles, pho, or any flat noodles. I can taste the bone marrow in the broth. The Durian coconut sticky rice was a disappointment and false advertising! It looks nothing like the photos and I got one decent size chunk and the rest was raisin size, if that. Definitely not worth 8.95!! I think ordering take out, some restaurants take advantage of the opportunity to give lower quality food considering the customer is less likely to come back with the food. It's interesting that the menu has some default items and give the option to customize if you like. I don't plan on coming back, but if I do, maybe I will try the sandwiches. It is unlikely that I will return.
