“ I rarely leave reviews for anything. Happened upon this place looking for a decent dinner while on travel - this is legit, authentic, pho. Flavorful, good ingredients. I'll definitely be coming back! ”
“ Yuma is about halfway to Phoenix from San Diego and a great rest stop. Who would have known there’s a random Viet restaurant out here that is so good! Very rare that you get good Asian food in the middle of no where. Egg rolls - So fresh not frozen. Made to order and deep fried to perfection. Every bite had crispy flaky crumbs. Pho tai - The broth was clear, fatty, flavorful aroma of pho through out. Rice, pork, egg loaf, shredded pork - This came with a side cup of broth. The egg loaf was a bit on the salty side but it was moist not dry, indicating that it’s not days old. The pork was thin, juicy and flavorful. Chow fun - Loved this thick wide noodles. Not exactly the Chinese pan fried version but stir fried with lots of sauce. The wet version. Curry beef - It’s neither Thai or Viet curry but Indian. Could taste the Indian spices such as garam masala. It’s curry over rice and gave off a huge spicy kick. A side of broth was given to the three dry dishes. This broth was different from the pho broth. I liked it better. You could taste the strong bone flavor. My Thai tea was also really good. Not too sweet. Service was exception. The owner knew we were out of town and chatted with us and explained how his dishes were different than traditional Vietnamese dishes. He also catered to our special requests. We will definitely stop by again whenever passing Yuma. ”
“ Being a Vietnamese person and living in Yuma 4 years, I have been waiting for the real taste of Pho for a long time. I did try some other places such as Asian Star, 2fifty1, and Yuma Thai cuisine where they offer Pho, but it is not made by a Vietnamese cook. Therefore, the taste is totally different, or even bad to me. This place is the best in Yuma area for the time being if you want to try Vietnamese food. Indeed, they have many traditional dishes, not just Pho. The owner is super friendly and helpful. A must try! ”
“ Pretty good Pho place! Quickly seated, staff were absolutely wonderful and food was good. The broth and noodles were delicious and my favorite part of the meal. I will be back and can’t wait to try other items ”
“ Second time coming here and of course the food was great again. Also, I totally goofed and ordered something for my son without asking about the ingredients. He has lots of food allergies so I know better. Anyway the owner I believe was there. He was very down to earth and funny but more than that he was understanding that I messed up. He had my son's food remade and advised us to ask the waitress next time. I will definitely come back. ”
“ Just had an amazing experience at Saigon Pho! The service was fast and friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. Went with two friends, and we all enjoyed our meals. One friend tried the Vietnamese iced coffee, which was freshly made and delightful, while the other opted for the Passion fruit juice, both of which were a hit. We ordered the #15 combo pho and #13, and they were both bursting with flavor. The only minor issue was that the spring rolls had a bit too much lettuce compared to shrimp. Despite that, we had a fantastic time and will definitely return for more! ”
“ I’m a fan on Asian cuisine, have been since my deployment to various Asian countries. This here Saigon Pho is truly a hidden gem in the hell hole that is Yuma, Arizona. I’m happy to say that this is a well deserved 5 star restaurant. Not to mention they appreciate military personnel they have wood decor for each branch of the military. Not everyone recognizes all of the sweat and tears that go into freeing other countries. I’ve been hooked on chicken pho since my partner introduced me to it, I ordered a plate and a some lemonade which I assumed would be Minute Maid BUT I WAS WRONG, the lemonade is made IN HOUSE and it’s the most refreshing beverage I’ve had in YEARS, it gives Starbucks a run for its money. My partner had the charbroiled beef vermicelli and quoting my partner they said it was “fantastic” they also had the Thai Tea and let me tell ya, I tasted that and I was transported to Saigon. As an appetizer we had the fried spring rolls, they were very crunchy and had the right amount t of filling! The service was amazing and the ambiance is great, will be returning 10/10. ”
“ Food was fantastic! We were just passing through saw the reviews and it is great. Quick prompt service quiet atmosphere. Pho was perfect flavor ”
