It may look like a random restaurant at a pit stop, but Saigon is our favorite Asian joint in the Austin area. We make a 30 minute trip just for it.It's small, family run and the food is just delicious.Steamed pork dumplings are so perfectly airy and balanced it's ridiculous.Owners are sweet and kind and put a lot of effort to assure you enjoy your meal.

Family run and taste like a mom made it with love. Great food and great service. Also list what’s gluten free.Dietary restrictions: List what’s gluten free.
The broth was decent, but the noodles weren't that great, and the interior looked a bit old.

Don't listen to Gus, they must have this place confused with somewhere else or something. Also, if you look at Gus' profile, it's virtually all 1 and 2 star reviews....I think it's easy to see what the common denominator is here.Saigon Cafe has been in business for less than 10 years, so it's nonsensical claiming it "hasn't changed in decades". It's also the opposite of dark and dirty inside -- this is why I think they're confusing it with some other place. I admit, the decor & furniture is dated, but it's functional and clean.Their menu is a mix of Thai and Vietnamese, and if you can't figure out how both of those ended up on the same menu, then I implore you to look at a map.And the price, Gus claims is $30-50 per person -- I can feed 2 people easily for that much. The most expensive menu items are only $17! Even with an app and a drink it will be less than $30 pre-tax. Why you have to lie?The pho stock is definitely not heavy, once again, did you review the correct restaurant? It also comes with all the garnishments PLUS fresh jalapeno.Anyways, ignore the haters, and enjoy some of the best Tom Kha you've ever had!

The tofu was really bad quality. I had one of the noodle soups - other than the veggies everything else tested mediocre.

First impression this place hasn’t changed in decades the inside is dark, dirty, run down. The tables and chairs are sticky and this place is depressing!The food at Saigon Café is average to below average. Look at the menu, items listed, there from different parts of Asia, this will tell you a lot.Pho is OK if you like a heavily flavored stock, not in a good way, beef is low quality, Chewy and flavorful & it’s not even served with all traditional garnishes green onion, cilantro, basil, etc.All in all the atmosphere, food quality and service is lacking for the price point.Parking: No Handicap Parking ! The parking lot needs to be repaired and resurfaced. There are huge potholes, dirt and sand everywhere.
