My boyfriend and I spotted SAOLA on a Saturday evening when waiting for our table at Eight Settlers across the way. Out of curiosity I googled the restaurant and when we realized they serve pho we knew we had to try it. My boyfriend recently became obsessed with pho! I’ll have it be known that it only took me 6 years to convince him to try it, so taking him around to try pho has been a fun experience for the both of us. He ordered the filet mignon pho and I ordered the filet mignon vermicelli salad. OH MY GOSH – where to even start! My boyfriend was sweet in sharing his broth with me and let me just say this is hands down the most flavorful broth I have ever tried. It is no wonder they don’t serve it with the traditional add ins (available upon request) – it doesn’t need it! As for my dish, there was so much tender steak on my plate I thought ‘this is definitely worth $28!’ The flavors were amazing and the shiso (purple leaf) had a flavor that I had never experienced before. Our waitress was so kind and gentle with us, she even took the time to give us a little back story about the restaurant and the pho (line of generational pho). We will definitely be returning, and soon!

Gwen is amazing and she keeps this restaurant immaculately maintained. The food is absolutely phenomenal. I will not go to another Thai restaurant since I tasted their banh mi french dip with au jus. I am excited to try their other items on the menu!

The restaurant was well decorated, and would likely be a great place for a social night out.
The food was decently good and well plated, but was nothing to write home about, and certainly not good enough to justify the high price.
Lastly, our waitress left a very poor impression – she hardly spoke to us, opting for a silent stare instead, tried to take the menus away after we ordered a single plate of the Sichuan Dumplings to start, and then left about half the food behind when she boxed a dish for us, though I, unfortunately, didn’t notice until I went to eat the rest the following day.
All that said, perhaps this was an exception and things are typically better than this. If I get the opportunity to return I will gladly update my review if I have a different experience.

Delicious beef Pho, large portion. Much fancier decor than my norm, but see the appeal. Great location at mouth of Big Cottonwood. Great meal after a day on the slopes.

We came to celebrate Valentine’s Day expecting a special evening, but it was a major disappointment.
We were not informed in advance that there would be a mandatory fixed menu at $85 per person. There were no options — we had to share one appetizer, and each person received one main course and one dessert. For that price, it felt extremely overpriced.
Unfortunately, the food quality did not justify the cost. The dishes lacked flavor and overall felt low quality. We also saw several tables arrive, ask about the menu, and leave.
Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend it.

Chose this restaurant for what was supposed to be a special night out on V-Day and instead walked away feeling completely dissatisfied. From the start, the experience felt misleading and overpriced.
Only after being seated did we find out that the entire dining room was locked into an $85 per person set menu. There was no prior notice when we made the reservation, no alternatives, and no flexibility, just a SHARED starter and one entrée and dessert each. We chose egg rolls for our shared starter and were given 2 egg rolls, so we each got ONE egg roll which is comical at that point. For a bill that quickly pushes well over $100 per person with tax and tip (btw 20% gratituity was added automatically), the portions and lack of choice felt unreasonable.
Unfortunately, the food didn’t come close to justifying the cost. The flavors were dull, the presentation unimpressive, and the overall quality felt far below what the price point suggests. During the evening we saw multiple parties question the menu setup and decide to leave, which honestly spoke volumes.
While the staff interaction was fine and the ambiance was nothing remarkable, neither could make up for the sense of paying premium prices for a subpar meal. In the end, it felt like style over substance and certainly not a place we would revisit or suggest to anyone expecting value for their money.

Exceptional meal. Great ambiance. Our server was polite, kind, knowledge, and was able to describe the dishes in a delectable manner. I wanted to eat everything. We got the scallops and the Garlic Noodles – they were delicious! One of the most extensive cocktail menus in the valley. We had an Aviation and Negroni (plain I know, but there were a ton of other options).
For the location and decor we expected the prices to be higher, but the bang for the buck was there. I’ve seen some reviews saying it was pricey, but I thought it right in line with what I expected. We’ll be back for sure.

We were greeted warmly upon arriving, the restaurant looks very clean and impressive. All the staff were very professional, attentive and accommodating. The dish – impressive presentation, very delicious and good amount of serving too. They’re a bit pricy but it could be due to dinner setting/pricing but well worth it in terms of taste and service. Ample parking shared by other establishment in the area. Very satisfied overall

Valentine’s Day SCAM. We booked a reservation for Valentine’s Day. My boyfriend and I showed up for our reservation and upon being seated we noticed a “Valentines Day” menu. I asked if they were still able to serve other food, and was informed that only the set menu was available tonight. Keep in mind this was NOT something we were informed on when we made the reservation.
Additionally, the price per person for this set menu was $85. That’s not necessarily the overall issue though, we came to try entirely different plates. Our bill was $240 with a set 20% gratituity. I am from Scottsdale, and my boyfriend and I have spent much less, for way better food, in much nicer restaurants… The set menu was very limited and we were extremely disappointed. The server was kind, I am sure she had been dealing with complaints all day, but regardless the service was not up to par for the pricing.
All in all this was absolutely a Valentine’s Day scam.
