Saigon 5 - San Diego

Food tastes alright, broth was good but the portion size is lower and price bud higher than market value.

Ordered the BBQ Pork Rice through a 3rd party service for lunch at work. I loved the abundance of fish sauce placed on the side. I feel that some places tend to not give enough fish sauce or chili sauce. My lunch was good, I would've taken a picture of it but I was too hungry and finished the whole thing. I'm always grateful for pickled carrots daikon with the cucumbers veggies. I wish the meat was thicker and juicier but overall was still yummy.I believe 4 stars in appropriate because I haven't had an opportunity to actually go into the restaurant but I did like the food.Will be ordering from here again in the future.

Very unsuspecting place in the food court of ranch 99. I hope they’re paying the gal behind the counter well because she was wonderful! Very personable and friendly, careful to ask about food allergies and answer any questions.Ordered the bun chicken bowl and it was delicious; really generous portion size too. I’ll definitely be back again when I’m craving some Vietnamese food!

Service was very friendly, but I should have listened to my spidey senses when I asked a question about the noodles in Vietnamese and they responded with confused looks (they did not speak Vietnamese). After paying $13 for a bowl of filet mignon pho, I didn 't expect the bowl to be so measly. It was 4 5 pieces of meat and so few noodles that when you stir it around, you see the bottom of your bowl. I also assumed filet mignon pho was pho tai the traditional rare cuts that cook in the broth, but they came out precooked (and overdone for that matter). Definitely better pho options elsewhere, but I 'm hoping the reason this place gets decent reviews is from its other items.
