Saigon Eden

Saigon Eden in San Gabriel is one of my husband and my regular spots—we come here often and it never disappoints. The food is consistently good, and we always order the Kobe pho, which comes out almost immediately. The fresh noodles are a standout, the broth is rich and flavorful, and they’re generous with the meat. Service is fast and efficient, and while the ambiance isn’t fancy, it has that cozy mom-and-pop feel that makes it comfortable and reliable. Solid pho spot we keep coming back to.

Really like this spot. Food is delicious and consistent. Service is fast and consistent as well. Pho bowls are flavorful and generous im portions!

Obsessed with Saigon Eden! 🤩 I'm always here with my friends, and the food never disappoints. Phong is a legend—always checking in to see if we need anything. My usuals are the brisket pho, meatball pho, and the spring rolls. Highly recommend this place!

Wanted to try this place for awhile so we went here to test out their phõ! The aroma when you wakes in the store seemed promising. Lots of combinations of protein to chose with your bowl of phõ. When we got our phõ, the broth is not as fragrant as it supposed to be. Couple of the cuts is a bit chewy while the tendon is a bit soft, not crunchy as it supposed to be. Very fast service and provide tampioca and mung beans sweet dessert, that was very good. The inside of the restaurant is clean and neat.

Food: We selected Bún Chả Hà Nội and Bánh Hỏi Nem Nướng. Both had excellent flavors, taste, and lots of vegetables. Restaurant: As is, the table settings look more like a "cafeteria" than a restaurant (with tables and chairs lining up along the walls). The atmosphere is quiet, and the restaurant setting could perhaps be improved with better lighting and /or brighter wall paint (as it's a bit dark inside) and decorations (perhaps with plants or aquariums?), and maybe with tables settings like islands instead of rows along the walls.

This is a Vietnamese restaurant. It is on Las Tunas Road in the Chinese community, opposite a large Chinese supermarket, and there is a small parking lot next to it. The traffic is very convenient and the parking is also very convenient. The lobby of this restaurant is very oriental, full of red wood tables and chairs. The indoor light is not very cool, and there are many dining seats. The menu is available in English, Chinese, and Vietnamese. The taste of the dishes is more delicious, I especially like the spring rolls here. Serving too much is also good. Moderately priced, not particularly cheap.

One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in SGV. Although the inside decoration is quite dated, the foods here are excellent and authentic. Service is very good too. On Las Tunas and San Gabriel’s Blvd, Saigon Eden is conveniently located across from one of the established shopping and eating centers in San Gabriel. I have been coming here for years but haven’t had a chance to write a review. With an extensive menu, you can practically find any types of your favorite Vietnamese food here. I come mainly for their pho ( beef broth noodle) and Banh Cuan( Vietnamese rice roll with pork). The pho here is excellent filled with extremely tasty beef broth. The broth produces a beefy - hours-long bone boiling - taste caressed by the seductive scent of star anise , which is the beauty of this dish. The levels of taste- fresh herbs, satisfying beef, hot broth, spicy shots of Jalapeno and siracha, sweet-salty-smokey hoisin, and al dente noodles made their pho a perfectly done dish. I tried their Pho Kobe today with the same broth. The Kobe beef was not as tender as I had expected. The noodle and the broth were still excellent. I didn’t ordered their Banh Cuon today as I wanted to try their Banh Xeo ( sizzling pancake). Over all, this dish was not too bad. The skin on the Banh Xeo was a bit thick but the portion was very big. I had to pack half of it to go. This is definitely a place to get your favorite Vietnamese food. Saigon Eden has them all.

Traditional Vietnamese food with no frills. Casual place with an extensive menu selection. It's not fancy. It it does deliver in taste. Comparable to some ma and pa Vietnamese places in OC. Decent spot in the SGV area. Came back here at the end of November. 2023. They renovated the space. It looks modern. The service was more friendly and pleasant this time around. Food and service, in my opinion, improved noticeably. 👌

Fantastic egg rolls and bun with beef & rolls here. Would come again. Some guy got 6 orders of egg rolls next to us. That's how you know it's good. I like how it comes with shiso, mint, and lettuce leaves.

There was no wait to get a seat at this restaurant for lunch at 12pm. Although, staff were very friendly. The menu had many varieties of Vietnamese food, written in English, Chinese and Vietnamese. We decided to try Com Thit Nuong Tau Hu Ky and pho tai nam sach. They were all pretty decent and very similar to other Vietnamese restaurant in the area. Definitely recommend the Com as it was so filling. Price wise, it is very decent for the area. Overall, good experience.

I ordered for grilled pork with baked egg with eggroll, when my order came there was no eggroll, i have to tell them and they gave it to me immediately. The grilled pork is rubbery and hard to chew., I called their attention to tell them that this taste like beef and its so rubbery, the manager - she is so sweet!- said that its pork I am not convinced. My hubby ordered for crspy egg noodle with seafood- they only served the seafood without the crispy noodle. We have to call their attention again. We have to insist that we ordered the above. After 5 minutes, they served the crispy eggnoodle with seafood but its too dry, see picture-they put very minimal sauce. We have to tell them again and the manager pour the sauce on the eggnoodle. She said their system is down so the orders are not done accordingly. I am not coming back here again.

This was our second time at this location. The first was 4 years ago. Then and now Pho was delicious and decor is simple. Parking seemed ample in the lot but it shares a lot with 3 other stores in strip mall. Fried rolls were light, crunchy and meaty.l before. Unfortunately they were sold out at about 6PM on a Monday night when we went. We were so sad. Water took a while to get. Food came out quickly. Strawberry smoothie was good but my daughter thought it tasted like medicine. In general we really like the place but the recent service and sold out fried rolls really bummed us out. We woo be back but we may head to the Alhambra location which was closer to us anyhow.

This place has the potential to be really great. Right now it's being let down by service and lack of refinement. We had egg rolls, which were really awesome. Really crispy and had great flavor on the inside. We also had two different pork dishes. The chopped pork had better flavor then the whole chop even though they were cooked the same. Also the rice was undercooked in parts. The sauce it came with was ok but could of use some more acidity. The service was the big let down. Took a while to get seated and get want attention. The was only one person who was acting as the bus boy and host. Not sure if they were just having an off day but our experience was not great. Might be willing to go again not sure.

Good pho with free dessert is an added benefit to coming here. However I dislike the extreme thirst I get from the pho. They overdone on the msg. Also the noodles are soggy and also the broken rice number 128 extremely hard. Not edible no good but let my opinion skew you away from this place. It’s good just not for me.

Have come here multiple times, I live in the area. Their pho is good, but their customer service is extremely lacking. Today I decided to dine in and order their Thai Tea w boba. The boba came extremely pitted and falling apart, not even maintaining form in the straw. When I asked for a replacement they told me they freeze their boba and recook it, and that’s just the way it is. I asked for a plain Thai tea and was told that they would no replace the drink. I wouldn’t suggest bringing your business here, and I will be bringing my business elsewhere. There are many other excellent pho spots in the area. Pictured is said boba.

The food is very bad. I ordered the lemon grass beef rice, shrimp and beef noodle, bake beef rice ( the terms may not the same as the menu). All bad, no matter the taste or the texture
