One of my very favorite meals in Poughkeepsie and I come whenever I can, the food is just so good and the service is always friendly!
5 stars phenomenal service. The owner is super nice and always happy to chat. I love pho!!😻
Unexpectedly awesome. Will be back. Found a new spot to add into my rotation of great food.
You feel comfortable and satisfied. The food is always delicious I’ve never left unsatisfied. Love it!
This was my first time trying pho and I loved it!! The employees were so nice too!
Amazing food and excellent service. Came here with a group of 7 and they were super sweet and made room for us. The beef salad was delicious.
Delicious pho! Great little spot to get my fill of yummy pho tai! My daughter loves it too!
i love! my friends works there and he loves it too 🙂☀️ i got bubble tea. so good!
Had delicious pho and spring rolls! Great portions and super nice people:))
Cute little restaurant on a side street just off Raymond ave. It was walking distance from The Loeb museum at Vassar College. We enjoyed these shrimp rolls with peanut sauce and I had a bowl of Seafood Pho. Portion was great, enjoyed it for 2 addional meals! I washed my meal down with a yummy Banana smoothie. Staff was friendly and attentive.
so yummy!!! my friends and i come here all the time! so grateful they have a location near vassar campus now
Cute little place; quick service and tasty bahn mi, made fresh and served warm. Egg rolls were tasty, bubble tea very good. Recommended.
I love the Taro and the Pho! The atmosphere is nice, I especially love the small-shop feel.
Good comfort food, always fresh and very consistent. Been coming for years and never had any issues.
Pho was amazing!! Such a cozy environment as well! Definitely will come back again
So I tried this place a few days ago and all I can say is, I will be back. Couldn't believe this Vietnamese place was here and I'm glad I gave it a try. I ordered the honey chicken rice, honey chicken bahnmi, mini shrimp rolls, popcorn chicken and Thai iced tea. There is plenty of parking which is great either on the street or the lot across the street. Upon walking into the place a very nice employee greeted me and he already had my order together. So now onto the food. The honey chicken rice plate was good and was cooked perfectly. The mini shrimp rolls were crunchy and had flavor. The popcorn chicken was good but can't really mess that up lol. The sandwich was good too crunchy with plenty of flavor. Overall I will be back.
By farrrrrr my favorite and the most Authentic Vietnamese you can find from Poughkeepsie to Albany! What a gem. My boyfriend and I always get the Pho Tai, Honey Grilled Chicken over Vermicelli, and popcorn chicken. The white coffee is amazing as well! Don’t walk, RUN to Miss Saigon! 💕✌️
This place is a must try. We had a few different Pho, lemongrass beef, spring rolls, Bahn Mi, and mini shrimp rolls Everything was delicious. The place is small and does a big carryout business but we loved the small atmosphere and great staff.. Best Pho around. Stop and give it a try!
I have been coming here for a long time. They have great authentic Vietnamese food and good atmosphere. If your look for a cozy place to eat great Vietnamese food. This is the place.
Food, service, & atmosphere was amazing. Came here after a hike & enjoyed a nice bowl of pho which tasted sooo good! Perfect portions. Peaceful & cosy.
Absolutely loved this small Vietnamese spot! Everything was so good and super friendly service. Can’t wait to come back for more pho.🥢💚
Amazing food! I got the bon Bo hue and it was delicious! Also the servers were fast and super sweet.
Another 10/10. I usually get special beef noodle but this time I tried the spicy beef noodle. Real good too. Miss Saigon is the best.
What a find. The food was fresh, crisp and delicious The service was friendly. My partner said it was the best ban mi he had since living in LA. We loved it and will be back
It was truly a wonderful experience. The pho was absolutely delicious, full of rich flavor. I happened to find this restaurant by chance, and I’m so glad I did. A very pleasant and memorable meal!"
Yummy pho and generous where other pho spots often skimp (thai basil/bean sprouts/jalapenos). Thank you - highly recommend!
The workers are really nice and very fast!! The food was amazing, and the taro boba was very tasty. The building is also very cute inside!
The pho had excellent depth of flavor. Would recommend!
One of my favorite restaurants in Poughkeepsie, I go here for Bahn mi multiple times while at school here and it is always consistent and always delicious :-)
I love this restaurant! The food is always delicious and the service is great. I will definitely be coming back!
Customer service was excellent. Our server Caleb was not only hospitable but helpful and very knowledgeable of the menu. Food was great as well. 10/10!!
Been coming here for 10 years. Food and people are great! Best Pho in the Hudson Valley!
Great restaurant! Everything I’ve gotten here has been amazing (I’ve had vegetarian spring rolls and the egg noodles, and my friends are big pho fans) and the service is wonderful. The decor inside is very nice as well, would come again!
Amazing pho!! The food came out quick, they checked in on us to make sure the food was good and we have enough water, the pho was delicious the broth was so refreshing. Such a great vibe and experience! Definitely recommend.
Top notch. I've been going here for a year now. I've tried everything from the appetizers to main dishes to my favorite drink from them which is the Vietnamese iced coffee! The service is spectacular, they're so nice and humble. Everything is fresh. Such a neat and cozy nook ! Go here for good hearted healthy vibes. ♡♡
Had an amazing bite! The yummiest dumplings with an incredible side sauce. Literally melted in our mouths. There was a pleasant atmosphere with a joyful tune playing in the background. Incredible experience 10/10 would recommend!
A perfect rainy day meal. (Honestly, I'd eat it if it was 90° too) We ordered the Bun Bo Hue spicy soup, which left mom's cheeks red, but smiling and happy! I had the Chef's special soup with xiu mai. Delicious! The dumplings were so tender and flavorful. A very cute place with friendly staff and a literal line out the door of eager customers.
This is one of my favorite restaurants ever, I come here a lot when it’s cold and rainy and it’s perfect to warm up with friends. The food is delicious and the staff are all so incredibly kind and the vibe inside the restaurant is so cozy. Definitely come here :)
Amazing pho and Bun Bo Hue!!! I’ve had so many bun bo hue across the country, and this place ranks up there. The broth is so flavorful and unexpected given the location. I would highly recommend, prices are reasonable enough ~$15 for Bun Bo Hue before tax and tip. The grilled pork rolls were also solid.
Very good. Vietnamese food. Decent pho Not the best I've ever had but it was very good. Very good service. Pleasant hosts. The drinks and appetizers are also very good.
Great first impression. Combination pho and summer rolls were both delicious and ready for pickup in less than 10 minutes. Thankful they wrapped the broth container with a bag because it toppled on my car ride home and spilled a bit but no of the precious liquid was lost! The place is so charming I plan to eat in next time.
I drank a White Coffee (Vietnamese iced coffee), the Summer Rolls (shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce) and the grilled pork with steamed twice. It was all delicious! I will definitely come here again!
I come here at least once a week and everything is perfect each time! The broth of the brisket pho is so deep and flavorful, the staff are always attentive and sweet, and the decorations and music is so nice!
Delicious dumplings, and the best pho in the Hudson Valley by far! The banh mi was good but not great (the meat was a little drier than how I usually like it). A delicious lunch overall.
Incredible small atmosphere, lovely personal service including students from the local college which is really thoughtful and kind of the owners. The food is impressively portioned to always leave you full and happy, would absolutely recommend any and everyday.
Been coming to this little spot for years, reasonable prices and authentic meals. Hard to find decent Vietnamese food anywhere in my part of the burbs. Especially like the filling summer roles and authentic pho. Best part is the leftovers.
I had a lovely dinner here. My hostess, Payton, was the best. She was very accommodating and friendly. I got her food recommendations, and they were delicious! I will definitely come back.
Miss Saigon offers excellent noodle soups and bubble tea. My top choice is bun bo (spicy beef noodle soup). All bubble tea flavor are tasty. Would take my friends here next time!
Great food, ordered the special pho & honey chicken banhmi! If you like the other location this location is great as well. The inside is a bit smaller but very cute decorations!
This place is a hidden gem of Poughkeepsie, a spot you would never think even existed. Miss Saigon has amazing food and top tier service. The reviews on here are don’t lie! The food is amazing probably some of the best Vietnamese food I’ve had State side. I definitely recommend anyone in the area to check out this hidden gem. You won’t regret it !
I love this place so much. Definitely the best soup in town. And we've pretty much tried every pho Restaurant from fishkill to hyde park. The food is so authentic and just homey and gentle, but also flavorful and filling. This is one of our main go to's. Love love love
This place was absolutely delicious! All the food came out super fast and it was quality dishes. I would definitely recommend coming here if you want pho and a satisfying Vietnamese dish. The only could I would say is that it is fairly tiny, and it gets a little crowded. However, it is 100% worth the wait.
I went with my friend for some boba and an appetizer. We got brown sugar and shu mai. The price for both was pretty decent, especially given the serving size. The boba was good, shu mai practically melted in your mouth. Service was quick and friendly. Would definitely come back to try their other options.
So good. Better than Pho Ben (and I come from HTX, so you know the Pho Ben there is pretty okay… at least in my opinion). When I saw they actually had pate in their banh mi, I knew this place was going to be a winner. The Pho was excellent and GOOD VALUE. Soup not too salty. Banh Mi was crisp and the fillings were flavorful! Please order the Banh Mi Sai Gon if you come. Have not tried their boba or flan yet but it is on my to do list… about to be a regular here for the next four years! The service was a bit slower but worth it. The only reason why I gave four stars for service was because the server automatically gave our table all ice water when we didn’t say anything about drinks yet… our East Asian family is big on warm water but their no ice water was still cold-ish.
Delicious! The chicken and beef pho is perfect for a chilly day, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere inviting.
I came for dinner with a friend. We ordered dumplings & mini spring rolls which were very good. For my main I ordered the grilled pork chop. Although the food was good, it was not a single grilled pork chop but more like pulled pork. Over all I would still recommend.
Wait staff does not know menu items and brings out wrong entrees despite the menu items being numbered. Taste is ok
I was actually very disappointed. I found the meats to be old and dry. The pictures show bean sprouts and other garnish that was old and decaying. When served at home these items are always fresh and clean. I was disappointed. This place has 4.9 stars...maybe an off day I'm learning each location has a unique perspective on their on recipe. I do not like sweet pho !
