Pho 420 Saigon

Was really looking forward to it, because it looked really good, but if you like authentic viet, not the right spot. The service was good and the atmosphere is fine, but the food was okay at best. The fish sauce tasted weirdly watery and doesn’t taste like they add something they shouldn’t, and they don’t use the right vermicelli noodles in the pork dish. Their pho was okay, but something was just a little off. And their spring rolls looked like they should be good, but were so small and used so much of the rice paper that it was thick.

I was casually eating my delicious Pho. While going in for my next bite I saw a bug IN my broth. I started freaking out and immediately lost my appetite. Luckily I ordered through doordash so I got a refund.

I ordered the Pho Well-Done and thought it was so delicious and flavorful that writing about it makes me wanna go visit again. The broth was so good and the noodles were very soft and yummy. I wasn’t familiar with what the tea/water that was served but it was very refreshing with the hot soup! There was plenty of indoor dining space and I was able to be seated as soon as I walked in. The menu had a good selection as well, so I have to try it when I come back!

I stopped by Pho 420 Saigon for lunch and had an enjoyable experience. Give them a try. Personally, I thought the pho was delicious: hearty broth, tender meat, savory 'other parts', and good noodles. The food came out in good time, and was piping hot/fresh out of the kitchen. The tray for the pho bowl comes with some small sides and was a nice touch. I have been to Saigon and tried Michelin-rated pho there - this, of course, is not that - but it is hard to find good pho in northern New Jersey. The prices were reasonable to me. The staff are very attentive. The setting is cozy. I'm not sure what to make of some of the negative reviews, which do not match my experience at this restaurant. I truly wonder if the restaurant perhaps struggled with consistency, or if there were recent changes

Restaurant is clean and the staffs are polite. We came here for lunch shortly before noon and it was fully seated in half an hour. We ordered 2 pho and a vermicelli with grill meat. I like that our meals came with a tray which is nice and organized. The vermicelli bowl is very good size which came with lots of meat, quality is pretty good too. It’s one of the comfort meals we had during the New York getaway.
