Been ordering from here for 13 years . Today I ordered using yelp, never got my order and was told I had to wait 24 hours for a refund . They refused to bring the food I never received. BECAREFUL ordering 3rd party. You're better off just calling the restaurant !

Hubby and I have been here a few times and it has never disappointed. I wasn't able to capture what we ordered to eat because we dove right in lol. We ordered 2 salt and pepper twin lobsters, salt and pepper shrimp, pea pod stems with garlic and salted fish fried fish. Everything was delicious especially for the price. We will definitely be frequent customers.

Cheap, gargantuan portions, tasty, no-fuss-straightforward service, different demographics present...exactly my kind of restaurant. As I'm still slowly making my rounds through my endless list of MA restaurants, I would not have visited this place so soon if it wasn't for a fellow local foodie that recommended this place for their hotpot and traditional Vietnamese style pork dishes. She's definitely spot on with this recommendation; however, she forgot to mention the generous portion sizes. First visit, I looked through their extensive menu and thought it was interesting that while they had just about *EVERYTHING* possible (including Chinese and Cajun-style dishes), they didn't serve *PHO*. Not an issue; I just found it curious since that has always been a mainstay in about every Vietnamese restaurant I've visited over the last few decades. I also noticed that the prices were leaning relatively on the cheap side, which led me to have wrong assumptions with their portion sizes (*NOT* small...at...all). It really is stereotypical of an Asian restaurant to sell large amounts of food at lower than median prices. Usually, the crapshoot is how good the food is. It could be a lot of cheap crap. OR it could be a lot of cheap but okay-won't-write-to-grandma stuff. OR it could be really cheap AND good and worth visiting and telling just about every foodie in your book about, which is what Saigon Seafood is. For what I've ordered so far, the taste and the portions were GREAT. Pork chop had really good traditional flavor, seafood was fresh, and the goat was tender, gamy, and awesome. I seriously can't wait to try more of their other dishes despite being so stuck on the goat hotpot. Definitely recommend their hotpot options even more during this time of the year!

Cheap, affordable and fresh and yummy and good food. The rice and lobster top tear. The ambiance was blah but the food made up for it. I'm dying for their house fried rice.

We stopped by on a Friday night for a late dinner. When we showed up, the parking lot in the back was completely full. Luckily we were able to find parking on the street a block away. We ordered jumbo shrimps with walnut and house mayo, lobster, canh chua ca (sweet and sour catfish soup), ca kho tho (clay pot catfish). All of these dishes are prepared really well. The mayo sauce is creamy and sweet and the roasted walnuts complemented the flavors. The lobster was fried and had a nice scallion and ginger sauce. I LOVED the clay pot dish with the sweet and sour soup. I was surprised when the clay pot came out and had both catfish and pork but I really enjoyed it. It was caramelized well and the pork and catfish were perfectly cooked. The soup was perfectly sweet and sour and had some freshness with the veggies like bean sprouts, okra, tomatoes, and elephant ear (bac ha) and pineapple. The meal was very comforting and I'd definitely return again soon. The food is delicious but don't expect really great service. If you need anything, you'll have to put in the effort to get the attention of your server.

The restaurant was pretty popular on a late Friday night, they are open pretty late for the area. Parking can be tough with the road busy and the narrow road, it's best to park on the side street a block away. Service was average.The clay pot with catfish and pork really complements the sweet and sour catfish soup. Please be aware the fish have small bones inside, it's normal. The caramelized sauce in the clay pot has really good flavor, it comes with a good amount of meat. The sweet and sour soup was delicious too and was nice to pour over rice.The shrimp with walnut is one of my favorites and has a really nice mayo sauce. This is probably one of the better places that makes this style of lobster. The restaurant cuts the lobster in an easy way to pull out the meat.
