Sai Gòn Café

I got the vermicelli with grilled pork (slightly fatty and flavorful), egg roll (fresh and crispy), and pickled ham (interesting texture but good). My husband got the pho tai, which had excellent light broth and tender beef as others described. We shared appetizer #9 (shrimp and pork salad with lotus rootlet) which I haven’t seen at other Vietnamese restaurants and am glad we got it. We appreciated having the shrimp already peeled for us. We also ordered two bahn mi to go, lemongrass chicken and beef, both of which had perfect ratios of meat to bread and veggies. Usually, I order extra meat for bahn mi from other places but was not disappointed here. If you ever have a pop-up in York even with just bahn mi, we’ll be there!

I didn’t expect to find some truly great Vietnamese food in Pennsylvania. A surprise to be sure, and a welcome one. The food was authentic with lots of variety in flavor and texture. Some of the meals even have a local and creative flair like the Bahn Mi with the au jous dipping sauce (highly recommend). The staff are quite friendly and welcoming as well.

Good quick fix for Vietnamese food. Portions are great. Nothing really that stands out in a bad or good way.

The owner Ken is very friendly and likes to chat with regular customers. The service and servers are good in the evening. Phở~ Beef Soup is their best lineup. The rare beef is always very tender and tasty. The broth is better than other restaurants with special taste and flavor. Good size and good value.

Definitely not the best broth, pho, nor atmosphere. First impressions were dingy setting with fake stone wall paper, no seafood pho options other than shrimp, and chicken pho was frisly/fatty dark crap not fit for consumption. Pho Miss Saigon in Hershey still topshelf and handsdown cheaper than these other Vietnam imposters near Lancaster, York, and Hanover.
