Saigon Char-Broil - Esquimalt in Victoria

Super nice staff and great food.

Had Bun Bo Hue with extra meat. It was ok. Meat was a bit tough and not fresh. It was not really worth the money.

Really enjoy the spicy lemongrass beef soup. Everything is good on this menu but this one is tops.

I love this place. Keeping with SE Asian norms, the food is always fresh, the portions are always ample, and the prices are always fair. My go to for Thai/Vietnamese cusine in Esquimalt.

From Calgary, walked in had pick of tables. Food was quick and absolutely delicious. Would definitely come back. Good music as well.

Flies in the restaurant that I can live with. The Pho, oh man, lots of dark things that didn t look edible. When asked, owner insisted it s burnt onions and refuse to make amend. Kept saying everyone likes their food, really?

I went there 20 minies before closing. and asked if theres enough time for a pho session. I was told, Yes, we can do that. I ordered rare beef pho with extra meat. It was ready in a couple of minutes, but the broth was so not hot, the beef that was already inside the bowl had a hard time cooking! Obviously, no heat was left in the broth for the extra meat. Very few things are worse than a pho bowl with lukewarm broth! :(

Thank you for the kind service and tasty vermicelli bowl!

Friendly staff, generous portions, lovely bubble tea. But it ends there. The food, sadly lacking in flavor, was a solid mediocre

Mine and my sons favorite

Amazing food. I tried their garlic pork Bahn mi and ice coffee, and it was outstanding. I, will be returning. Respect and blesses.

Unfortunately, I got the pho that was extremely salty and didnt have a good flavor.

Really kind service. We came in today with small children and the server was patient and attentive. Highly recommend.

I love the 6A Chicken lemon vermicelli w/ a spring roll Try it for yourself!! Parking: So it is free to park here but there are only 5-6 spots available and being in a busy plaza they can fill quickly..

This little Vietnamese place it had been a great surprise. Prices between 17 to 20 dollars, yet a good amount of food. Great flavor, many options.

Best Pho restaurant I have been to on Vancouver Island.

Absolutely addicted to this place! Everything I ve tried has been top notch, 6B is my go to but the soups and sandwiches are really good also. The service is amazing every time we go, the food is served promptly even when it s busy. Parking: Lots of parking all around the store, 4 stalls up front Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheel chair access

Best subviet subs in the city, and most affordable! Fast friendly service.

Highly recommend who crave of Pho the base broth is tasty and the ambiance of restaurant are good.

Bubble tea was very good. Unfortunately, a bit disappointing on the meat quantity in the soup. I ordered beef and tripe soup, I had one tiny piece of tripe in there (less than an inch) and that was it. That s it. I wanted to make sure the owner knew so I communicated it to them and I was told that I should ask for more tripe instead of beef and that it was because tripe was not popular. I can absolutely understand tripe may not be popular but if people don t like it they will order something else. I ordered a tripe soup and expect tripe to be present which was not the case. This was unfortunately disappointing and I most likely won t be back. I hope it changes as otherwise, it seems like a nice location.

We ordered on Skip the Dishes for a work lunch. The food was delicious, but there was a small error in the items delivered. After calling the store they prepared the missing item and drove it over immediately. The service was exceptional. We are very grateful for their prompt problem solving efforts.

Great food and service. The venue is average. I would certainly recommend it.

Best Vietnamese Sub around!

The food was amazing! the taste is delicious. I had wanted to come for a long time, I always drive down this street. I will definitely come again, delicious food at a good price and the service is excellent

Quality Vietnamese Sub, loved it.

Had pork on a bun. Greens and grated carrots made it a healthier lunch. Good service but there was no washroom that I could see. The price was right.

Good Vietnam food

Nice little place, found the pho broth a little sweet for my taste.

Great food

Always absolutely incredible. Big smiles, great service, very quick and amazing tasting dishes. Best spring rolls on the island!

Good Vietnamese food, large portions, good & fast service. Small interior but plenty of tables for the size. Clean.

Amazing food, best spring rolls I ve ever had. Vermicelli and pho broth is delicious too. Recommended dishes

I got the salad rolls with chicken and my boyfriend got the beef pho. I normally am not a fan but I tried his broth and beef - it was seriously the best broth Ive had and would absolutely come back and get it myself. The spicy broth was delicious too. Weve been to a few places and this one tops them all by far. Thank you for your hospitality and delicious food!

Excellent Vietnamese food with great prices. Friendly staff.

It has been a stop I do quite often when Im in town. Havent been around in several years and I was relieved to find out they survived the pandemic. The food is always spot on and the prices are pretty decent too. No need to go downtown and fight for parking for a delicious meal.

So delicious!

Food is always excellent. Great variety of Vietnamese delights.

Really good quality ingredients, great portions, amazing flavours, definitely worth the money!

Wonderful first experience here. Delicious food, friendly service, and reasonably priced. Will definitely return. Thank you!!

Some of the tastiest BBQ beef Ive had in a long time, plus very fast service. Definitely coming back.

Coconut Curry = DELICIOUS!

Fantastic food. A goof quick place to grab lunch or dinner.

For the price, I had a delicious meal and the service was excellent. Recommended!

I really like the food. It is consistently good and the staff are welcoming. Good value.

Our go to spot for noodle. Love their vermicelli bowls and the spring rolls. Very friendly and fast service. Really good food.

I want to love this place because the staff are so friendly and they offer great service, but the food just isn t good. It s way overpriced, the meat always tastes off and you mainly pay for rice and noodles. I m surprised they ve been open this long.

Im all about price, flavor and portion size. This place has it all.

We order from this place on a regular basis. The beef Vietnamese subs are amazing with really good fresh bread. We also enjoy the beef rice dish and the prawn vermicelli, spring rolls and salad rolls. A solid go-to option when you dont want to cook and stay home to eat.

We loved it and cant wait to go back!

Great As Usual!!!! Thanks Food

great service and food!

So good, and the employees are super nice!! I recommend!! I spent a week in Victoria and I wish I had stayed longer to be able to continue eating here!!

Had Pho which was quite good !

Delicious dinner! Fried egg rolls and the chicken rice dish both very good. Vegetables were crisp and fresh and the service was attentive.

The Vermicelli & Spring Roll Bowl with the Lemongrass Chicken was absolutely delicious! Its my favorite dish, the staff is always very friendly.

Fantastic food! The spring rolls are no joke, and tossed noodle bowls are definitely worth a try. Best coconut bubble tea I ve ever had!

Great food. Great prices. Friendly people

Not bad! Pho was kinda plain, would have loved some more toppings and greens but the flavours were very good. Large servings. Spring rolls were awesome!

A few colleagues and I were in the area, and have been passing by numerous times, we decided to check it out (after hearing many good things). We were all really glad we did!! Quaint in size, but the great service was only surpassed only by the amazing food!! Fresh, very flavorful and delicious!

1st time eating Vietnamese food, and this place is good. I cant compare, but the place is clean, Organized, and staff is very friendly. The price is affordable but the parking area is very small, I recommended combo #36 and as #32. This place open Saturday and Sunday First time eating Vietnamese food, and this place is good. I cant compare, but the place is clean, organized and the staff is very friendly. The price is affordable, but the parking area is very small. I recommend combo #36 and combo #32.

Great vermicelli bowls and pretty good pho and banh mis

Friendly staff, great service, really tasty food! I dont eat rice noodles, but the staff were more than happy to switch it to rice for me.

best chicken sub ever!! perfect amount of sweet and savoury and the chicken was so juicy. definitely worth the $10.45

My fav is coconut curry, always best in town! Very quiet place, quick service

Tried #16 lemongrass coconut curry... Not flavorful and quality and ingredients didnt justify the price.

Great grilled pork and spring rolls

Coconut lemongrass curry is always delicious.

My pho getaway place

Staff is fast and efficient. The pho is SO good. I have it like twice a month at least.

Ive had a few items. All yummy.

(First of all, I am pho lover and tried almost every pho restaurant in Victoria and Langford) Ive been here 2 month ago, tried beef pho but too (really) Salty and portion was really small for me. And the owner(or server.. look like owner.. she was old lady) She kept frowning. When delivered our foods nerver say enjoy or something. Just drop and go. I still remeber this 2 month ago. I live nearby in Esquimalt.. but I dont think I will visit again in here again except change ownership or something. My friend who went with me left most of the food, but I almost ate it, because I should have paid for it anyway. Others would love it here, but I personally didnt like it here.

Friendly staff everytime, foods always great, try the Vietnamese coffee!

Love the food here!

This place was really good, kind service and food came quick. Had the chicken and spring roll vermicelli it was nice and fresh decent portions and decent price, just what I was hoping for cheers!

Best food ever

AMAZING FOOD!!!! Great service, great food, great place to eat fantastic food! Highly recommended!! You. Are. Welcome

Tried soup a few times. Pho soup wasn t the best. I ve had better experience with pho at other places. 2.5

*Edited* Awesome location that is quick, and perfect for take out. Its consistent and has great pho, and delicious spring roles. Sorry I had mixed up my reviews between two places, I have never had an issue here!

Love it though getting a bit expensive at $16/bowl.

What a yummy dinner! My boyfriend and I got rice and prawn dish and chicken salad rolls. Came with yummy sauces. And quick for take away. Ready in 15mins! I thought that was enough food for both of us. And we split the cost that included a tip. Was under $20 each.

Great pho and customer service has been excellent every time. Definitely pricey compared to other restaurants but the location is quite accessible.

I could eat here 7 days a week

Ive always been a huge fan of the Vietnamese sandwiches. Definitely not the best pho* in town

I wanted to love it but its just not at the same level as other locations and its quite pricey for the quality. The broth is mediocre at best, the jalapenos were from a jar and sprouts were wet like they were starting to turn. Tillicum or Downtown for me next time

Amazing food.

It is a must to try! Delicious food, good portions! Fresh food very clean installation!

Best pho in town. I recommend trying the fried spring rolls at the same time. This is my favortue Pho place

I always get pho from here, but today my mom, decided to join me today. ( my mom has battle anorexia most of her life) and having her eat a whole plate from here, made my day She loved the rice and pork And as always I loved the pho. Thank you for the great tasting food. Even something my plain Jane mom would eat. She loved the flavor and everything it came with. Thank you all so much

Good food! A little pricey for what you get though.

First went to this place on a whim over a year ago and have been back many times sense. Love their pho and pork salad rolls. The sub and lemongrass coconut curry as well as their spicy soup are also quite good. Price is a little high but the portions are a good size and staff are friendly. Would definitely recommend.

I quite enjoy this restaurant. The service is friendly and quick. I have enjoyed the beef Phoa and the subs are super tasty!

Good service and good pho

Subs are the greatest, especially the pork sausage and garlic loaf WOW

Really good. First time ordering something from this restaurant. Best spring rolls I have ever had actually.

First time trying this place, all I can say is theres some unique dishes with some incredible flavors. Looking forward to trying more selections next time.

Popped in to grab some takeout tonight and noticed the cook in the back serving food without a mask on. Sad because I love the food and would have given 5 stars if I hadnt seen the blatant disregard for the health of their customers. I will not be a returning customer

Tasty Vietnamese noodle soup

Great food at very reasonable prices, friendly service. Currently take-out only. Parking in front of building.

Best Vietnamese subs Ive had in Victoria! Very tasty and really nice portion sizes. Id also recommend trying anything with their pork loaf.

Excellent service with a smile and great food!!!

I was craving pho, so I placed an order for pick-up. The menu said pho was $12.75, however when I got to the restaurant they had up-sized me to king size for an extra $2, and did not give me any choice nor any advance warning. I guess that would be okay with me if it was delicious, but unfortunately its pretty flavourless. Bland noodles and bland meat and bland toppings in bland watery oily broth. The eating experience is a decidedly unpleasant one. But hey, at least Im not hungry anymore. Im no longer craving pho. In fact, I feel a bit disgusted by it now. So I guess Ill call it a success: craving eliminated!

Eat here!! There isnt anything bad on the menu. Huge portions, tasty food and GREAT value

Food was a good portion, and tasted amazing

Worst bubble tea Ive ever tasted! What a waste

Simply the best food . 100% recomend if you like lemongrass Chicken or prawns

Very filling delicious

Very good food.

Affordable Asian food, so satisfying

Had Lemongrass Vermicelli with Pork. Very tasty. Good portion size.

Tried prawn soup and it tasted flavourless except spicy. My kids had meatball pho and the meatball tasted sour. They did not even finished 10% of the whole meal, but they finished the exact food from another vietnamien restaurant in downtown. Will never coming back to this place. Price does not match what they provided.

Delicious pho and the charboiled chicken vermicelli bowl was so tasty. Definitely going back!

The food was amazing and served so quickly. We had noodle bowls and soup and vegetable rolls all amazing! The staff were full of smiles and very helpful with ordering. Definitely somewhere we would return!!

Not my type of pho

Super fast service, always open, kids really like it and curry is tasty. Best fast food of Esquimalt!

I visit like all types of cuisine and at first time i found this cuisine is amazing

The salad rolls were so fresh and the bubble tea is always such a great end of lunch treat! You can call in an order for pick up and it ll be ready in about 10 mins or so. Everything is cooked fresh and served piping hot. The menu is varied and my favourite is the salads with protein though the vermicelli bowls are a veritable feast I adore!

Been here a few times now, and the food is always amazing. Super fast, delicious and friendly.

The place is clean and service is very fast. But I wasn t particularly impressed with the food, the soup is not that savoury. I would say overall is more like 2.5 stars.

Not sure if the food justifies the costs

the food is good and fast wait times. my favourite is the vermacelli noodles with beef and a pork spring roll.

Service is always great and the salad rolls and butter sause is delicious

Good food at a fair price

Ordered via Skip. Arrived in 15 minutes on a Friday night which was a dead give away. Visually very catching and fresh ingredients - the only plus. Lemongrass chicken was the weakest & runniest curry Ive ever had with hardly and chicken or vegetables. Way too many noodles in a big clump. Partner had the beef with spring rolls - same thing. Endless possibilities but sadly wont try again.

Ive ordered from here quite a few times in the past. Now it just turned into something I wouldnt feed to my dog.

Terrible. No pork in spring rolls. Pho was very pedestrian. No pate on banh mi despite her assurances. Unlikely to return

We had some subs here for lunch, my favourite ended up being the bbq beef sub. I found the curry sub to be a bit odd but might be good for some people. The lemongrass chicken curry was also good. Overall the food was pretty good and the service was fast.

Always a good meal when you go here

Nice Vietnamese restaurant. Warm welcoming atmosphere. Pleasant experience. Worth paying a visit.

Always amazing PHO and service here

Seriously good! The two of us had the charbroiled beef with rice- excellent taste and prepared quickly.

I m wondering if the owner or the cooks of this place have ever tried Vietnamese subs before because what I got from them was not banh mi. The sub was way too soft and chewy when it supposed to be crispy. You can even tell by looking at the photo I took. It tasted terrible and my jaws got tired chewing this thing. Banh mi here is also overpriced for the location, service and set up. Instead paying over $10, you can get much better banh mi at many other restaurants for around $7

Great food! Youve got to try the springrolls.

Always good food and fast service.

Prices increased drastically. No more lunch sub special. Another covid casualty

salty soup soggy noodles gross stay away. not worth the money

Excellent food and variety. Decent sit down atmosphere for dates or dinner with the family. Prices recently went up which is a bummer. I d recommend salad rolls vermicelli with pork or the subs.

Love this place. Super quick kitchen. Lunches are delivered to the table very fast. Tried a lot of menu items and havent been let down.

Good food and friendly service

Always great, reccomend 5c

The spicy beef soup is definitely . The fresh bean sprouts are helping to douse the flames. I dont know if that is why they are served but it works.

Its close to work so Ive been a couple times. A bit pricey for what you get but it is tasty. The bubble tea wasnt good.

They have misleading price on their online and window menu.

Fast friendly family run business and the food is amazing. Great value for portion size

I got the chicken vermicelli with spring rolls and they were delicious.

Pretty good. Friendly service.

Great food!

Good food. Service lacking. Skinny girl who works there greeted me with a frown when I walked in. Bad start. Sat down didnt say more than two words to me or smile. Didnt check up on me during my meal once. I tipped her $2 which was more than she deserved because she had a negative personality. Otherwise, the food was good, portions good etc.

Really bad service. Got there at 8pm and skinny girl said they are closing in 30min and gave the impression you better eat fast. So we left and went some where else. Prices higher too. Never going back.

Great food and service!

Good food. Good selection, lots of different dishes to try. I really enjoyed the spring rolls.

The chicken here has a nice char on it. Great food.

Good sized servings, good prices. Service is quick and servers are always polite to me.

My Pho consisted of hot water, plain noodles and unseasoned meat. Worst pho I have ever had. Buddy said curry was excellent though.

Tasty food! Great fast service

Awesome food everytime!! Staff is great too!

Delicious, quick, reasonable, & huge portions.

Really good food. Wasnt to busy when I went to lunch with a freind. The place is small so they engage you right away :) service was quick. First time eating there and I enjoyed the lemon grass chicken and two plates of spring rolls. The bubble tea was good as well. Im deffinitly going to be going back.

quick service, tasty food

Good food, good service, great place to go for lunch.

Great food at fair prices and friendly service at all the locations I have been a customer of.

Had the happy hour bahn mi sandwich. Great deal for $5. Fresh and tasty

Very good comfort Vietnamese food. I tried the Coconut Curry with prawns which was very warm and tasty on a cold rainy day. Prices are good. I will def. be back.

Great fast fresh food. Prices seem a bit high but worth it for the quality. Would be 5 stars if items were available in a combo.

You have to try the spring rolls here.

The food is good, but Im having a hard time reconciling my ongoing patronage due to their use of styrofoam packaging. This is true for all restaurants in the franchise. Consider this my last takeout from this chain until they change their packaging to a sustainable product.

Only had the special, but its excellent.

Pho is best enjoyed dine in (or as they say for here).

Absolutely delicious, inexpensive and fast service! A must go for your Vietnamese cravings! Phos, rice meals and bubble teas are delicious!!

I love the food here and the prices are fair. The spring rolls, while delicious, are too expensive.

Worst location of the three that exist in this city. The food was just average compared to the other two locations. On the night we were dining, they were moping the floors with a bleach agent - and ruined our appetite. Total disappointment.

Delicious

Had the pho, it was excellent!

Get the 6B!

Service wasnt great, but food was amazing. All 4 of us enjoyed our meals.

Very tasty, and huge portions!

Consistently very good. They have some things that most other Vietnamese restaurants in town dont have, love the variety.
