Food was great, friendly service. It was really quiet, some music might be nice. The best pho we've found on PEI in a long time.

We really enjoyed the spring rolls and spicy pho. The broth was rich and flavorful. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the beef and veggies were delicious and plentiful. The atmosphere was cute, including pretty plants and art. The service was attentive and jolly. We will eat here again.

Quality & consistency!! Have been looking for a new Vietnamese restaurant in Charlottetown since my favourite closed a few years ago, and no other spot has checked all the boxes - EXCEPT Saigon Pho! I’ve ordered both delivery and ate in at this restaurant a handful of times now and I am thoroughly impressed! Staff are friendly, food is fresh and delicious each time. Delivery orders (through a third party service) arrive hot and packed separately to ensure the noodles don’t get soggy. I normally order the P7 Special Pho. (Pictured is the P2 with med rare beef) Today I tried the W2 Wonton soup and was pleasantly surprised by the number of wontons, onion, ground meat (which had actual browning on it - a small detail, but shows its fresh & prepared in house) and a nice sized shrimp. Highly recommend. Excellent comfort food, particularly on these cold winter days.

Was looking for a new Pho fix in Charlottetown and this place was absolutely delicious! 🍜 A must try. Friendly service, delicious Pho and yummy spicy chili oil which the owner told us was her Mom’s recipe. So good! Presentation was much nicer than the photo here, I dove in too quick then remembered to snap a memory!

My family has been here so many times and only 1 word to describe all of our experiences - amazing. The food is great with very reasonable price. Highly recommend Bun Thit Nuong (Grilled Pork Vermicelli). The restaurant is small and cozy, located near downtown Charlottetown. There is a park nearby, which is pretty nice for walk after the meal. Service is top notch. Everyone is super friendly and considerate.

Ordered the fresh salad spring rolls, a bowl of special pho, and the lemon grass chicken vermicelli dish. Absolutely incredible food here! I did not expect to find such a gem for of a pho restaurant. The food is fresh, the meat is thick and tasty, and the service is good! Prices are also fair for PEI.

Tasty food, an excellent services.... Need to go and try

November 21, 2024

If you are in a hurry or want the right order, stay away. I ordered takeout, they tell me its 20 min, I said fine. After 43 min, they apologize for the delay and bring my order but it is the wrong order. They say that it is busy but you were able to bring the right order for the folks eating in. Not coming back.

Fantastic service, they always give me water while I wait for takeout, and are fast. Delicious vermicelli dishes ( chicken with lemongrass and pork are favourites). When I had to eat GF, they were awesome with that, too! Friendly family business. Dietary restrictions: They re good at gluten-free dishes.

My old favourite Vietnamese restaurant in town closed several years back, and its been a sad journey finding a replacement restaurant that makes pho as well as they did. Well, I am pleased to report that this place is THE ONE to go to. I am no longer suffering from pho disappointment, because this magnificent soup brings all of the wonderful warm pho feelings and flavours that I want. Excellent rich broth flavour, great portions (even when getting take out!!), and kind staff. Love this place - so happy they opened up and I hope they stay open for years to come.

Huge portions, super affordable, kid friendly restaurant with attentive and kind service. The salad roll (fresh roll) was my favourite!!! Cant wait to try the pho! Vegetarian options: They had plenty of vegan options!! Dietary restrictions: They were very attentive and asked for allergies and we had them make our daughters sauce without spice. They did it no questions asked! Kid-friendliness: High chairs available, friendly towards kids

Walked in, waiter was super nice to us and gave us waters so we could order for take out. I got the B2 and the P2 with spring rolls. It was absolutely amazing. The service was amazing. We sat in our car to wait and he came out and got us, and our food was ready within 10 minutes. It was absolutely delicious and will 10/10 be going back for all my vietnamese needs!!

fantastic food, really flavourful with fresh veggies in very big portions - highly recommend! also, the service was excellent! really professional, kind and helpful. I came here with my mom, and she ordered the Pho Satay (beef soup with satay sauce), one of their house specialties - it ended up being too spicy for her (she has some cancer/medication-related sensitivities to spicy food) and when she mentioned it they were extremely kind and helpful, offering to switch the broth, brought us ice water etc. I ended up just switching soups with my mother instead - both soups were phenomenal, but if you can handle spice, I highly highly recommend the Beef Pho Satay, it is soooooo delicious. but the vegetarian soup (noodles with vegetable broth) was also really delicious. wealso ordered the salad rolls which were excellent. we had to take like half our soups home because the portion size was really big-very happy to have leftovers :) Vegetarian options: there were only 3 vegetarian options for the main course, but the vegetarian soup (noodles with vegetable broth) was really delicious with fresh veggies.

Always ordered on SkiptheDish app and never dined in until today. What a little gem in Charlottetown. If you have been to Vietnam, you will probably appreciate the ambience as well as the rich flavour they manage to recreate in this Canadian small town. The service and food are equally good. I hope they receive the reputation they deserve. Beef is tender, the broth has so many layers of flavours. Well done.

This was really good. Surprisingly good. It was so good that we had to order food from here two days in a row. The flavors were really good and the sauces are amazing. The peanut sauce was so good I was tempted to use the straw for it. I wouldnt be surprised if the straw is intended for the peanut sauce. Both times we ordered from here we got different things to try a wider variety of menu items and everything was great. Nothing was disappointing in the slightest and we are extremely happy with the quality of the food. Im not sure what that secret sauce for the pork is but when I die just lay me to rest on a bed of it so my afterlife can be just as tasty as that pork. Also maybe drizzle some of the peanut sauce on top as well. Overall very very good food for a great price and we will be back for sure.

Salad rolls were good, but the Pho was terribly disappointing. The broth was bland and flavorless, based from chicken stock instead of beef. Also, the soup contained very little meat. Not authentic at all, cannot recommend.

December 21, 2021

This is absolutely the worst vietnamese food I have ever had. Nothing is authentic, both the soup broths we ordered tasted like a bland chicken broth. Even the noodles were the wrong type, and there was barely any meat in the pho. After spending almost $100 for my family we are currently at another restaurant getting a second dinner. Incredibly disappointed.

December 21, 2021

Dont get it not good

December 21, 2021

Stopped here for lunch today after seeing all the positive reviews and was super disappointed. I m not sure if they changed their soup base but I ve eaten Vietnamese food many many times and that was not pho that they served me. The broth was almost flavourless, definitely not authentic. Would not recommend if you ve eaten pho before, probably my worst experience eating Vietnamese food. The waitress was really nice but that s the only positive thing.

I know you shouldnt expect much of real ethnic food in small town but this was really bad i had to write about it. Not sure what people were eating at on google reviews but i guess they dont know the real deal. We ordered Pho with beef and the soup was disgusting sweat water with no taste (couldnt you add star anise, cinnamon, salt and beef bones and some MSG? Seems like you added sugar and water and a tad of anise. It was sooooo bad. The noodles were all broken up and over cooked and so little. The beef was not thin slice and only like 3 tiny pieces. For $13 come on. Worse was the Bun bowl. When the guy handed it to me i thought it was empty as so light. MY gosh there was literraly 1 1/2 bites of noodle on the bottom. For $14 could you not add another 30 cents of noodles? It was ridiculous how little. The grilled pork was gross and couldnt be found. It has some jar like cha sui sauce on it and think the was 3 shreds with some SALAD MIX *(gross) Should be thai basil and other green. It was so bad i walked out and let the other half pay and could not complain as i would get be nasty. The guy was nice so didnt have the heart but this is not vietnamese food. Worst was price, quantity and quality. Paid $50 FOR 3 and felt ripped off. Go to Mc D instead. I went back and had bagel and banana at hotel as i was not even 1/2 full even after adding extra rip off noodle for $3 as they gave nothing in original bowl (it was such a joke the quantity) Noodle are so cheap. $1.69 a pack - so giving a reasonable amt should cost you more than 25 cents.(esp given this cost me $14 plus 3 to eat plus tip and tax (for something worth $1. or so. Go eat elsewhere - sorry owner but you gotta change something unless you continue to have customers who dont know the real deal or much.

The Saigon Pho Vietnamese restaurant does a delicious Salad Roll. The only salad roll I have had that is better, was the same thing except deep fried. The vegetarian pho had fresh vegetables and firm tofu, and with a little bit of hoison and soya sauce the broth tasted really good. For those reviews of bland broth, pho broth is supposed to taste more subtle than generic chicken noodle soup broth. I am not dissapointed, the pho was very good. I wish the tofu was marinated in their sauce that they serve with the salad rolls. You can ask for bean sprouts. The service is great here. Very accommodating to my specific requests. I absolutely recommend supporting this local business.
