Many of the reviews are misleading. There were many red flags that should have made us leave. First, when we went, this place was completely empty. When we sat down we noticed the silverware at the tables were dirty and the water glasses did not look any better. After receiving the menu I saw that they had way too many items.
My wife and I decided to try the pho that was 16 dollars per bowl and it was very disappointing. The portions were extremely small and rationed out like we were going through the Great Depression. Meatballs were cut up into 5 pieces and spread around the bowl, received 2 pieces of dry brisket, 3 pieces of tendon, a small amount of noodles. My wife was so disgusted with the quality of the broth and ingredients that she stopped eating after a few bites.
When we asked for the check the waiter asked if my wife was on a diet since she barely touched her food, insanity.
If you’re looking for a place to have pho, I would steer clear. You’re going to get overcharged for small portions and sub par food.

Had the stir fry chicken and mushroom for lunch take-out. Good portions for the price. Could use a little more rice. Overall was good. Would stop by again and try something else next time

They have the best pho. My husband and I have tried a few other places but it never compares to the freshness and rich flavors in the made-from-scratch broth at this place. They have the best fried rice, egg rolls, cheese wontons, and chicken wings, too. Every person we have brought with us to try it has loved it. The owners are so friendly and welcoming and they always greet us super warmly and remember our usuals. This is one of our favorite spots!

The service was amazing!!! It was 1 guy and he was all over the place, he was getting it done and still had a smile on his face. The food was quick and delicious. Egg rolls were crunchy, spring rolls were soft. The pho hit just right and they have the good Siratcha and chili oil. Beef chow fun was moist and flavorful. It was very dark and quiet but I liked it. Felt homey. I enjoyed eating here.

Absolutely not ever again. The reviews were very misleading. First, the place was completely empty when we got there. I ordered shrimp fried rice & my son ordered the “special.” I guess that was supposed to include chicken, pork, and shrimp. See the photo of the shrimp that was in the rice. Seems they had two shrimp and cut them into tiny pieces then threw them in the rice. Not sure what kind of meat was in there but it didn’t look like pork or chicken. And the rice was white. It had no flavor like soy sauce nor did it taste like they fried it in a wok or even a pan. It was like boiled rice with half an egg, some mysterious meat, and maybe 6 tiny pieces of cut up shrimp honestly they were the size of a finger nail. My son had a few bites hoping it would get better, but after about 6 bites he was done. I ordered shrimp fried rice and received something else. He said it was chicken but I can assure you that wasn’t chicken. I had to drown my rice in soy sauce to give it any flavor or color. Oh and the rice only had small pieces of cut up green onion. No peas, carrots, bean sprouts… He apologized & said, “oh they must have heard me wrong.” I assume he was talking about the cook. It took 30 minutes to get the food. Which seemed long for a restaurant that had zero people there.
Oh and when we got there a girl had ordered a bag of food. He brought it out and she had no way to pay. Apparently she lost her card and he didn’t accept apple pay. He let her take the food and told her not to ever come back. That was nice of him to let her take the food. It wasn’t worth the money anyways.
$40 horribly spent.

This is my new go-to favorite place!!!
My heart and belly are both full!!!
I just had the most excellent food and service ever!!! We all agreed that the Orange Chicken was the best we have ever had. I am from a small town out of state where restaurants have to be good or they don’t survive. The incredible food and exceptionally friendly service at Classic Saigon reminded me of home!!!This place gave me warm fuzzy feels for sure!!!
The restaurant, tables, menus etc were CLEAN and well kept. The server was incredibly genuine, kind, and personable.
I could see from his interactions with other customers that he treated all of the customers like friends, which delighted my heart! He said “we love people” and I could tell that he sincerely meant it!
The selection was incredible – there are options for any diet! The presentation of the food was top notch, and everything tasted amazing! I felt like I got an excellent value for what I paid. The food and service were absolutely first class, but at an accessible price. I highly recommend this place, you just have to try it! I’d bet that it will be your new favorite place too!!!

I order take out for 4 spring roll piece and manger order four order of spring roll set. It cost me $28 I was what hell. It was his mistake for putting four order set and he did not refund me. Never go again and poor customer service. I am not happy that he did not even bug to refund or help. I would 100% recommend not go there.
