Saigon Cafe

For many years when visiting Lubbock I come here for spring rolls and beef and meatball pho. It is the best! I live in Dallas and this place is 100/10

Always loved the food here. Great selection of Vietnamese food. Very satisfying portions. Service can be improved with more staff. The person taking your orders at the counter is also the cashier & table server. Just be patient. Food is worth it. Simple place ... no frills.

Place is clean, service is better than average and food is good. I think you will like this place It is not a world class restaurant but it is a pretty good place to grab a bite. It is pricey, probably too pricey. But occasionally it will do for some variety try it.

I wasted over $40 with tip order to go. Their shrimp & chicken fried rice was orange and had no flavor. The V10 shrimp taste dried out. Their viet eggrolls had no flavor and kind of cakey? I told them I was a new customer. They shouldn't be giving out old stuff if you want people to come back. Times is tough and cost of supplies are higher but its just NOT RIGHT.

We were visiting Lubbock and found this place online. We walked in and realized after several minutes that it was a self-service (order at counter then find a place to sit). Overall, the food was good but I felt that the beef and broccoli could have been more flavorful.

I'm a fan of oriental cuisine so when I found out there was another Vietnamese place near my house, I rushed over to settle my noodle fix. I didn't regret it either. The whole experience was nice (unlike the other place nearby...) Like I said, I was really craving noodles when I went in so I was relieved when I saw that had several different kinds of noodle dishes on their menu, along with some other good stuff. The price range is about $3.25 - $20.50 for entrees and appetizers and $2.50 - $5 for drinks and extras, including the ones in the fridge near the front counter, so it's not too expensive to eat here. The place was relatively clean and tidy and the fish tank nearby was a nice little touch of atmosphere. I wasn't sure why there was a disco ball in the dining room but that's just me. The female cashier, Tammy, was really pleasant as well. I was totally comfortable with her service. As far as food went, I went with the Hu Thieu Saigon: the clear noodle soup, with shrimp, pork, and crab. It was pretty good! The noodles were nice and tender as with the shrimp, and the crab was surprisingly delicious. They even give you a side of bean sprouts and cilantro to put in the soup. The broth was a nice, mild flavor that went well with the noodles. They'll also let you order even more noodles to put in the leftover broth, for an extra $3.75. It's little steep but the clear noodles were kinda hard for them to come by so I let it go. My only complaint was the pork. It was kinda dry... Overall, this is a place I'd totally recommend. I'll be coming back to try something new, next time around. Just be wary as, according to Tammy, the pandemic sometimes makes hours fluctuate a bit.

Amazing from start to finish! The employees were so sweet and helpful, the food was perfect, and the atmosphere is so cute and inviting. My new favorite place to eat.
