Little Saigon

Honestly, I have no idea how this place got so many good reviews. We’ve tried plenty of pho restaurants in Salt Lake City, and this one is by far the worst. We spent over $70 and still left hungry. The prices are ridiculously high, and the portions are shockingly small. A shrimp roll costs nearly $10—just four tiny shrimp stuffed with a ton of lettuce. They should really call it a “vegetable roll.” The pho barely had any meat in it—you could almost count the slices. To be fair, the broth tasted decent, but the noodles were over-soaked and had zero chewiness. The pork banh mi was just average, nothing special at all. As for the restaurant’s environment and service—both are basically a 0. Don’t waste your money here.

I know there are some negative reviews, but everyone’s experience and taste is different. I actually liked what I ordered. The pot stickers and sauce were on point, and the tofu with rice was yummy, that sauce especially. Mmm mmm.

I’ve been a loyal customer of this pho restaurant for a couple of years (mainly since they used to do a good pho to go). However, over time, the quality and consistency of the food have significantly declined, while the prices have continued to rise. It’s become increasingly difficult to justify the cost of the meals. During my recent visit, I was shocked to find small bone fragments in the beef in my pho. These weren’t cartilage or other gristle; they were actual bones or very calcified tissue. $17 pho + lower quality = no thank you. I apologize for the unappetizing photos, but that’s exactly what I was served.

I try new pho restaurants all the time and this has to be in my top 3. They have such a great menu and amazing service. Mits was so friendly and made the service so great! I will 100% be coming back whenever I’m in the area.

I'm making my way down my to go list of pho joints in the SLC area. I was at the Sugar House Medical center today and Little Saigon was less than a mile away. So of course with it being so conveniently close, my daughter and I had to go check it out. This joint is kinda hidden. It's in a smaller venue which can be cool. Hole in the wall type joints can produce some of the best food. Walking in, the music is going. It almost set a Hawaiian type of vibe for me, not Vietnamese. There's a few guests enjoying their meals. I did check online for their menu. They have a little of everything which was nice. I got my usual today which was the ribeye and brisket pho. My daughter got her usual bun bo hue. My bowl was dropped off first and that baby was steaming! You can tell it was freshly mad
