Pretty good... even for a real Vietnamese, 10/23/2009
Reviewer: Dan No

Having been born in Vietnam and having had Vietnamese food my entire life, I would say that the food is fairly good and authentic. There's not a huge variety or selections (compared big-city restaurants), but what they have is very good.
You get top-notch 5-star service if you speak Vietnamese to them!!! :)

Big Improvement. Worth your bucks!, 3/20/2009
Reviewer: Danny

This place has been the ideal place for me to eat for a long time now and like restaurants, it has its up and down. Saigon Noodle house has improved 110%! the service is great, always on the move and asking if things are alright, etc. The food has improved also and kudos to the new plates they add in once in a while that isn't on the menu. I recommend getting the "Bun" dishes with any topping you want. There is a fresh salad right under the meal!

Total Turn-around, 12/6/2008
Reviewer: Nancy

I used to not be crazy about this place but recently have been surprised at their improvement. The service is great. The food is quite wonderful. I had Pho about a week ago which was hot and flavorful. Last night I had grilled chicken that was full of flavor on vermicelli and raw vegetables. The accompanying sauce added to a flavor explosion. I totally enjoyed my meal and will be back again and again. Give this place another chance, they have improved 100%.

Great Food & Service!
Reviewer: Glenn

I think the owner people are referring to with a bad attitude is an older guy that I have seen in the past. When I went recently(its been a while) a much nicer asian guy was in charge and was very nice. The waitresses were very nice also. So maybe they changed things up. The food was very awesome with lots of extras embedded in the food that make it work. The inside is very spacious with a nice wallmount TV to watch if you want. Highly Recommended. Ask the waiter/owner if you are unsure what to order as he recommended a great dish.

I love this restaurant!!!
Reviewer: hongyan

I know what is the real noodle is when I started eating noodle from saigon noodle house. I love the Pho and Bun. People are working over there very nice. They always smile to comstmers. Some new noodle restaurant are opened, I went to try with my friends. But no one can do the food tasty like Saigon noodle house. It is my and my friends favorite, It was before, it is now, it will be in the future!!!!

Mediocre Food, Bad Service
Reviewer: Lucas
from Santa Barbara, CA
This pho place has one of the nicest locations/decor of vietnamese restaurants in SB/Goleta. It's just too bad that this place has horrible service. The waitresses are all very nice but the manager is extremely rude. I came here with 3 friends during lunchtime rush hour and the entire restaurant could hear the manager yelling at the waitress who then came out from the kitchen teary eyed. The pho and egg rolls were decent enough but the manager was like a dark cloud over our lunch.

Good food, funky service

Love the pho/fried rice/egg rolls...
Service is a mixed bag, really. Most of the student servers are nice, but owner tends to be a bit snappy and irritated.

KFC has some competition!
Reviewer: Lauren

I ordered the chicken wings from their new healthy menu in the front. Let me tell you, KFC better watch their back. It doesn't taste like a regular traditional chicken wing, it's sort of unique I guess. Well, I love it. P.S. I don't know what it's called but the yellow noodles are divine!!

Good for the food.
Reviewer: Brian

I like to eat here because the pho is really good. It's a quickie I stop by for lunch to get the lunch special. A bowl of pho, a soft drink, an egg roll, AND a dessert! For $9.50.
