“ Living in Pasadena, very limited Pho places to choose from. Having traversed Valley Blvd and San Gabriel, found this gem packed on a Monday night. Totally worth the wait. Great broth and higher quality meat cuts. Coming back! ”
“ Of the many pho places I've had in San Gabriel/Alhambra area, I can definitely say Saigon Eden is a safe bet. There's no frills, just solid pho. I was famished from running and pho is my go to. The salty broth, rice noodles and beef slices are all what my body needs to replenish electrolytes, carbs and protein. I usually order extra noodles, because I need the extra calories. The pho definitely is a good size and was satisfying. Will come back again. ”
“ Great pho, the fresh noodles are my favorite and the broth is rich and flavorful. Also their garlic green beans are DELICIOUS. The thai tea and springs rolls are a lot bomb.com One of the staff members sang hello to us when we walked in to be seated and I really appreciated it was very cute. Left feeling restored. I like all the plants and chill atmosphere. ”
“ I was originally going to go to Golden Deli for their Banh Hoi, but the wait was over an hour. So, I decided to check out Saigon Eden, which is about a 10-minute drive from Golden Deli. Parking was a nightmare at 7 p.m. on a Friday night, but the food was amazing! I got the Banh Hoi with charbroiled beef and imperial rolls. I love this dish because it comes with tiny vermicelli noodles and a lettuce leaf to wrap everything together. It's super filling and only cost $14! You can't beat the price. They also serve a complimentary mung bean dessert at the end of the meal. So delicious! ”
“ Great taste. Big portion. Lots meat. Great value. The authentic Vietnamese ice coffee is amazing. Passion fruit green tea is a bit sweet though. Will come again for sure. ”
“ Saigon Eden has the best egg rolls ever. The noodles are also spot on. All of their food is great and you will love whatever you try. The service is so friendly and they are nice to kids. All the servers are kind and sweet and boy can they help with the menu. The place is so pretty. It is always spotless Try their charbroiled beef rice plate combo. You will get one of those great eggrolls with it. It is all so good. You have to try. ”
“ This is our favorite Vietnamese place in the 626. The service is exceptional and our tummies always leave satisfied every time we dine here! We always order their pho (with meat on the side so it doesn't get overcooked), their charbroiled beef rice plate combo (w/ imperial rolls and the egg with the minced meat & vermicelli wrapped in bean curd). Their bun rieu is delicious too. I love that you can order a half order of the imperial rolls because as an appetizer they give you a lot! I was curious about the pennywort drink once and they were kind enough to give me a sample to try. Not my cup of tea but I can see why people like it! Shoutout to Thomas for being so sweet and attentive! We look forward to seeing him whenever we dine in! ”
“ Had a delightful dining experience on a Thursday evening at 5:30 PM! Meeting my friend for a catch-up date after a few months, and this place was perfect for it. Ample seating, friendly and attentive staff. The waitress, anticipating well, suggested hot tea as soon as she seated me (I arrived first). The tea was fantastic--I regret not asking for the name to recreate it at home! I ordered veggie pho with tofu, and my friend had beef pho with clams. They never rushed us, and we spent a leisurely 1.5 hours chatting, with refills of the excellent tea. Great service, atmosphere, and a perfect spot for catching up. Will definitely return! Parking available at the back entrance, and the clean bathroom stalls are a plus. ”
