This place is fantastic, I can't wait to go back! I expect that it will become a staple for me, especially in the winter. I had the beef tenderloin pho and it was excellent. Served in a HUGE bowl, the broth was delicious and it was topped with lots of bean sprouts, yum! I couldn't manage to eat it all in one sitting, but it was great because I had the leftovers for a snack later that night. I also had a pineapple smoothie which was fantastic; you could tell it was made with real fruit rather than a mix or just juice. I also had an oatmeal caramel apple cookie. It's a good thing I didn't eat it in the restaurant and saved it for later because I probably would have bought the whole jar. The ambiance in the restaurant is nice, and the decor is great. I didn't expect much and was surprised and impressed when I went in. The building has been a lot of other things in the past, and I think the most recent was a pizza place. They did a serious renovation to give it a "Saigon" feel and did a good job. Everything is super clean and well kept. I think they're even utilizing the drive up window so I'll be happy to call in an order for lunch and go pick it up in the dead of winter and be happy to not have to get out of my car, brrrrr! Service was good, too. I believe the owner came out and helped at one point and he was very pleasant. This place is the most authentic you're going to get in Kenosha. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because I've had better, but certainly not around here. I highly recommend!

They are ok. We stopby here after shopping at the outlet mall... we tried their chicken curry with rice & fried tofu pho... i never tried pho with tofu before... tofu was crispy and cooked well... it was a friday night... they werent busy at all... we were the only table they had... i saw 4 people came in to place their togo orders... we also ordered fresh spring rolls. They were pre-made.... spring rolls came out 10seconds after we ordered.... spring roll was cold..... What else can i think of.....? Hm...... you have to order and pay at the counter first before you are seated in the table.... that was a bit weird... we didnt know how much to tip this girl who took our order because we usually tip the servers based on their service(i dont tip server 18% everywhere i eat. I tip more than 20% if the service was good.. if not, i only tip 15%) and we had to tip her even before we were seated at the table...

What can I say...good food, good service and good people. I have never had a bad meal here and the variety of great flavors is notable.

One of many reasons I love this place, its a local small business, great atmosphere and awesome healthy food. Secondly I must give praise to the staff who is very helpful and make you feel welcome. Saigon's food is the kind of food that makes you wonder "how do they make this so healthy and delicious? What is that flavor, Yummy!" well I'm sure its there little secret I don't want to know I will just keep coming back. I would recommend Saigon for lunch or a small dinner either by yourself or with a friend. Good Job Saigon Cafe! 5 stars
(5)Pita J.
Have had much better Pho, just really plain and boring food, compared to what ive had elsewhere. Not bad, not good.
(3)Jennifer D.
Love it! Love it! Love it! Healthy, great service, HUGE portions, absolutely delicious food.

I had a serious craving for some fresh spring rolls and so I thought I would check this place out. I chose to go the take-out route and the customer service was great! I ordered the four spring rolls (two of the shrimp and pork and two with just pork), two fried egg rolls and a strawberry bubble tea. The fresh spring rolls were just "meh". I was hoping for something with more variety such as carrots and cucumber not to mention more than only a paper thin slice of pork sausage (which had zero flavor whatsoever). Also I was really hoping for the egg roll wrapper rolled tightly and fried. That part adds some really great textures to fresh spring rolls with pork sausage, but there was none of that. Aside from that, the fried egg rolls were really delicious and I enjoyed the dipping sauce for the spring rolls. The bubble tea on the other hand was not at all something I would order again. The consistency was chalky and the flavor really left something to be desired. Frankly, it gave me a stomachache. Unfortunately, the only place I know of near me that has fresh spring rolls besides Saigon Cafe is 20 minutes away and has difficult hours of operation. I will be trying them out next, but most likely still getting them from this establishment for sake of convenience.

Completely unauthentic, and expensive "pho". I am half Vietnamese and I make better pho than what is being served at this place. I have never had to add so much hoisin sauce and sriracha sauce, and that didn't even do the soup justice. Only 5 slices of beef brisket and a little bit of noodles($7.99 for this???). The broth, honestly just seems like brown water, lacked every spice that makes pho authentic. We are never returning again.
(1)Kevin C.
Just had the chicken curry. Not the best I've had. But pretty good. It's a sweet curry that they serve and the ability to mix it from the bowl to the rice is a nice twist. Big serving and I'm a big guy. Filled me up. Price Not bad either. Wil come back to try out some of the other dishes.
(4)Allison C.
I am a HUGE sushi lover!! This was the first time I tried this joint and was greatly surprised...lets face it not all sushi places are equal. Some either get it or they dont. I ordered take out after finishing up my night class so it was almost their closing time. I called and made my order, the lady on the phone was very nice and gave me helpful answers to my sushi roll questions. I ordered 3 rolls which included the shrimp tempura, California, and rainbow (maybe...I have forgotten already) it had salmon on top. They were made fast and by the time I arrived, about 15 minutes they were ready. I went home and had a lovely feast because they were super delish!! I would certainly order from here again. I think I paid about $35 for 3 rolls which gave me a large amount of food.
(5)Dilara M.
This is a nice little Vietnamese restaurant in Kenosha. It's not the best I've had but their dishes are simple and tasty. Plus the service is great. If you're looking for basic Vietnamese food then this is the place to go!
(4)Khanh D.
Yes, this place is not the best compare to many restaurants in the city, but it's not bad at all for Kenosha. 1. Pho is bland, but add more sauces n vegetables it will be perfect. 2. Ca ri ga, grill plate, and their sandwiches are delicious. (Must try) 3. Boba drinks are not bad either. Perfect level of sweetener. I love coming here because of the warm welcoming services and their foods are made from heart.
(4)Elan J.
Good hot pho tofu dish, tasty chocolate chip cookies!!! Service excellent, clean restaurant, interesting garnishes:.)
(4)Colin F.
I don't really give anywhere 5 stars, so 4 is pretty much tops for me. Besides being the only Vietnamese restaurant anywhere in this area, it's also just really good. I'll amit that I don't have a ton of reference here, but their food is good and the owner is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Really helpful to people with food allergies as well - they will confidently and honestly (and patiently) tell you what allergens are and are not in all of their dishes. I love it here. You should too. Eat it. Eat here. Do it.
(4)Will T.
Only tried the Pho, it was really bad. Tasted like salt water, no flavor. Staff was very friendly however so +1 star. It's a shame, was really excited to find a Vietnamese place nearby
(2)Brian V.
Food is a bit on the bland side for me. Everything was very fresh & that's why I'm going 3 stars. I had to use quite a bit of siracha to get some taste to the pho. The spring rolls were tasteless & boring. This is the only Vietnamese joint I've been to, so i don't know if this is normally the case? I've been a few times & will probably go back because of the fresh ingredients.
(3)Karl M.
Very nice cafe with Vietnamese dishes. A bit on the pricey side for what you get but not too bad. The smoothies and bubble teas were extremely delicious. I tried the mango and peach smoothies and the watermelon bubble tea. So delicious!!! As for the main courses, it's not the best Vietnamese food I've had but it was all very tasty and prepared nicely. I had the sizzling platter chicken dish, the house special noodle soup, and the sugarcane shrimp between me and my family. The shrimp were deliciously butterflied and skewered 3 each on two pieces of sugarcane. Sweet. They have cookies at the counter that are pretty good. We tried one of each with the chocolate chip, double chocolate chip, peanut butter, and caramel apple oatmeal. They were ALL delicious and well-made, especially the peanut butter and caramel apple oatmeal. The peanut butter cookie was very crisp but filled with peanut butter so it melted in my mouth. The caramel apple was moist and sticky and chewy and so sweet. I should have had the espresso but that is why I will go back... the espresso and the COOKIES. The service is friendly, too.
(3)King D.
This is pretty bad and I feel bad for giving it 2 stars yet I wouldn't want any true pho fans to expect a decent bowl of pho from here. It's not authentic, the meat is not properly prepped, and you'd have to tweak the broth just to get it at least somewhat decent. Here's one example, Vietnamese pho uses shredded chicken for most of their dishes. This place uses chicken slices you get from a Chinese stir fry. Maybe it's because the owner uses the same materials as his other restaurant which is Chinese. Oh and the banh mi is supposed to be on French bread and lightly toasted not just slapped on. I hope this business changes and I'll be more than happy to change my review... We need a good Vietnamese restaurant here in Kenosha!
(2)Louie A.
provided that there aren't many choices of the sort in Kenosha, I have it the highest ranking. foot is fresh and taste, facility is clean, service is pleasant and preparation time is excellence.
(5)Matt T.
Food was great the two times I went, however, didn't like that they "secretly" charged an extra $5 on my debit card on both occasions.
(3)Tom L.
This should be called "Salty Saigon" instead. The Pho was straight up salty water. The spring rolls came with a sauce that was diluted with ketchup and salt. Service was ok but I had to remind the girl 3 times about everything. Where's my lime? Where are those extra bean sprouts? etc... Also not sure what they're trying to be... a fast food joint with a drive thru, a coffee shop or a regular restaurant. Avoid this mess.
(1)Mary W.
The meal was DELICIOUS. Fresh. Crispy veggies. Crispy egg roll. The BUN vermicelli with steak topping was presented in a beautiful bowl with a side of fresh tangy dressing. The Mango Bubble Ball Tea was fresh. The bubble balls are an interesting addition. Almost like a soft gummy. The restaurant is clean and bright.
(4)Batilly H.
Honestly, I wanted to like this place, but their customer service was lacking. I went in to order a bubble tea. Ordered a mango and strawberry bubble tea - took one sip and asked if there was milk in it. The girl told me there was no milk..I left and came back because the drink was disgusting. I asked her again if she was sure there was no milk. I decided to order another one - the fruit smoothie instead, which was made with real fruit versus whatever premix they used to make that nasty bubble tea. This is where the story gets interesting. As she rings up my order (again--yes she charged me AGAIN for a drink even though I came back and returned my other drink) - she tells me that someone else came in and tried arguing with the owner about there being dairy in the drink. A lactose-intolerant customer, no less. We both can't be crazy. My roommate can't be crazy. There is dairy in that thing! The girl tells me that there was COFFEEMATE in the ingredients if that "helped" any--NO it doesn't. Because COFFEEMATE IS A DAIRY SUBSTITUTE. It makes the drink taste like there is milk in it! And I am still paying for two drinks. I paid $9 for my lackluster fruit smoothie. I thought it was about the customer being satisfied with their purchase. I don't mind paying the $ for great food/drinks but this was just short-sighted all around. Will not be back.
(1)Ray A.
I thought about going to Dong Gia on Peterson downtown Des Plaines, but came here instead. I sat down and had the sliced meatball(beef) pho with sugarcane shrimp as the appetizer. The food came out in about 5-10 mins and looked delicious. The pho could use some more fresh cilantro, bean sprouts and more lime. Besides that it was delicious! The staff were a very courteous part of the relaxed atmosphere . Second best pho I ever had out of the 4 places I have tried. Why not 5 stars? The staff were worthy as well as the cleanliness and size of the dining area.... but the pho was a bit lacking of flavor. I recommend this place! Just ask for extra cilantro and bean sprouts for your pho
(4)A T.
The one and only place to get Vietnamese food in town! Everything here is absolutely delicious. I've had the house special Pho here and it was out of this world! I've also enjoyed the chicken curry and had the chicken vermicelli another time. All were outstanding and very fresh. The restaurant inside wasn't very busy. I'd expect many place carry out orders. I'll be back for sure!!
(5)Didie P.
This review was difficult as I find this place and the people so charming. It's right next to a cornfield! I lol'd. OH WISCONSIN! I stopped by here on my way from Milwaukee airport to Great Lakes, IL. I knew I was going to need some pho after my flight. But, I'm from the Bay Area and we have some bomb-ass pho. This pho was bland, perhaps not enough salt or not enough of the cinnamon/cloves/anise in the broth. It wasn't as fragrant as I'm used to. The meat was very tender though and I loved that It was a mix of chicken & beef. I wish I had tried other items on the menu so I could have been happier with my visit. Perhaps next time. When I'm in town again, I'd like to give this place another try. 1 star for the pho 3 stars for the visit in general 2 star average.
(2)Will T.
I should preface this by saying that my only other Vietnamese experience I've had was at Pho Viet in Milwaukee. Really enjoy the Pho (P1) there. I was excited to see that there was a Vietnamese restaurant here in kenosha (no more 45 minute trip!) so I went and tried the Pho there. Like some others have said, the broth was basically just salt water with very little flavor. Almost no veggies either. It's the same price at Pho Viet, but there you get easily double the portions and it's actually good. I will say in their favor that the place was very clean and the lady at the counter was super friendly.
(2)Taylor C.
I love the shrimp and rice noodles! Best quality for the price in Kenosha hands down. And I'm very particular about my shrimp. I always order delivery and they are very fast. I am also addicted to their veitnemese latte, hot or iced! The chicken curry with rice noodles is delicious as well. One of my favorites here in town.
(5)Reggie M.
Not the most authentic place but I suppose this is as good as it gets when you venture out this far from Chicago. Their portions are not as big as what you would get in Uptown and the broth is nowhere near the same quality. But if you're in the area this place is serviceable, especially since it's the only one around from my knowledge. The service was decent until the server spilled water on my parents. I don't know if she tripped over her own feet or what but it was incredibly clumsy. She didn't even replace that glass of water! It was wasn't very busy at all to be that negligent. Maybe she was bored. But anyway, if you are roughly 50 miles or more from Chicago, come here.
(3)Erin M.
Wow!! A little bit of culture in K-town now that's what I'm talking about!! The pho is amazing and the watermelon freeze with tapioca pearls is one of the best I've ever had! They did a great job transforming what used to be a fast food restaurant into a very clean comfortable place to have a nice lunch. The owner is one of the friendliest people I have met in Kenosha and is quick to explain the menu and help navigate through the choices he offers. This will be a go to restaurant for sure!!!
(5)Brian C.
Incredible Vietnamese food. My new favorite restaurant in Kenosha. The grilled steak Bu'n (with rice vermicelli, cucumber, and carrots) is really good. The Saigon Cafe is also known for their excellent Pho (noodle soup) and egg rolls. Very well designed and super clean interior. Can't wait to go back.
(5)Chris E.
I stopped in for lunch this afternoon for the first time and was very glad I did. Pho is one of my top 5 favorite foods in the world and I was beyond excited when I heard a Vietnamese restaurant was opening near my house. For this visit, I ordered the House Special Pho with beef shank, tenderloin, chicken, and beef meat balls. This was the first time having chicken in my Pho, so I was excited to taste something new. The meat and noodles were cooked perfectly, the chicken and beef were tender, and the noodles were nicely al dente. In regards to the broth, I did notice that it was very light compared to the other Pho I have had, but overall it was flavorful and mellow. It seemed to grow on me the more I slurped. The only gripe I had with my whole experience was that the Pho menu does not offer tripe, which is one of my favorite ingredients. No biggie though. Unusual beef cow parts are not for everyone. Also, as a side note, the bean sprouts are already added to your Pho ahead of time and only a sprig of basil and a fresh lime are served on the side. If you are a bean sprout freak, they did say you can always ask for more. Saigon Cafe is a great addition to the Kenosha food scene and a wonderfully affordable place for lunch.
(3)Robert V.
Ordered beef pho my first time here, good portions, but bland. I was reaching for everything on the table to flavor it some it lacked seasoning. The beef was tough and tasteless, broth very little flavor. My wife ordered steak over rice noodles, it was ok Gave this place anther chance and ordered chicken over rice noodles and their chicken curry special, it was much better, been there three times total the last two were good.
(4)Megan K.
Nice clean place but pho was not authentic. Tasted very watered down and plain. Service was awesome and bubble tea and Vietnamese iced coffee was good. Had to add lots of ingredients just to make my bowl of pho taste okay.
(2)Sarah B.
First, this place has the best latte in Kenosha. The owner made a great one for me. Yum. She also serves a local Milwaukee roasted coffee, which is nice to see. It is so great to have a Vietnamese place in Kenosha. Go here! Buy stuff, so they stay in business. It's true the Banh Mi is not of the caliber of NYC or another big city, but it's authentic and you can actually get it. It's a simple menu (like a Banh Mi shop is!), but lighter and a nice change from the mediocre Chinese and questionable other options in Kenosha. Yummy.
(5)Brian S.
A buddy of mine introduced me to this place when I was in Kenosha must say it's quite delicious...I'm an avid fan of Asian eats and Vietnamese was new to me. The owner talked to us after our meal about how their food is prepared and quite intriguing how true to Vietnamese cooking their dishes are and they even make their own fish sauce! The smaller menu shows this focus and attention to detail in the character of items and freshness... I compare a-lot of eating experiences to how it tastes with unique flavors and Saigon Cafe get's 5 stars and you feel amazing afterwards! The items I've tried and would highly recommend when visiting are the Vietnamese Egg Rolls , Fresh Spring Rolls, Sugarcane Shrimp. These egg rolls are unique paired with heart warming sauces... The Grilled Chicken Vietnamese sandwhich has just the right blend of vegetables with meat and way different then a typical american styled sandwich with cilantro, daikon and other goodness... This is a gem to Ktown and definitely encourage anyone to give it a try whom likes Asian food or would like to have a new experience in Asian cuisine you won't go wrong...and it's easy on the wallet. Don't forget to try out one of their sexy, gourmet cookies after your meal!!
(5)Gretchen C.
I have been back many times over and over I always crave the beef sandwich and anything with that beef I dont know what the marinade is they use but im completely drooling just thinking about it. I love the pho soup i usually get the special with everything then add lots of hot sauces and extra basil. Yummy I might have to go there today or tomorrow now talking about it. The services is the fastest service I have ever had the food is always warm, fresh and absolutely amazing.
(5)Joseph P.
Love this place. It's affordable, the food is delicious and filling and for us at least, the location is in walking distance.
(5)Leo S.
Great vietnamese food, love the pho...
(4)Choong L.
Of probably over a thousand bowls of pho I've had from coast to coast, the pho here was by far the worst. The vermicelli was extremely soggy and it's obvious that it was pre-cooked hours before and re-heated with the broth. The broth itself was way off: MSG base under-seasoned with Chinese seasoning. I asked for the usual side of bean sprouts and the cashier told me they were already in the pho. I looked carefully and yes, there were a few sad pieces of browning bean sprouts in there. Me and my two friends visiting from Chicago joked that it was no wonder they took our money first. None of us could eat more than half the bowl and we were hung over: If the pho was even close to passable, we would have gulped that thing down. Terrible noodle, terrible broth, stingy portion of wilting veggies... Complete opposite to what a bowl of pho should be.
(1)Tony M.
Awesome Pho!!! This is the only Vietnamese Restaurant near the lake county area. Everything I ate here was fantastic! Superb service and fresh food! I love this place!
(5)Mao R.
Even though I have had better Pho elsewhere, this place has the best Pho in the area and the service was fast.
(4)S T.
Went back for lunch and had the spring rolls this time and the mixed cold cut sandwich. The roll wrapper was tough and chewy and it was not bursting with flavor. The sandwich was good but not like uptown in Chicago. This time I was one of three people in the place at 12.30. I'm going for the Pho next time I go. Still for Kenosha it's the only vietnamese place around and will go back again because I like vietnamese food. I live where I live so it's not Chicago or Milwaukee so it is what it is and I'm going to eat here if I can't be in the big city.
(3)Benny T.
One of the more underrated places to eat in Kenosha! Nobody seems to know about this place but maybe this will drum up some business. Wasn't sure what to expect of Vietnamese food at first, but glad I tried. The couple times I've gone here I've only had the sandwiches (Bánh mì kp tht) which come in either cold cuts, pork, steak, tofu or chicken and served on a hard, crunchy french baguette with pickled daikon, pickled carrot, and cucumber slices and a jalapeno on the side. It's a really refreshing sandwich and doesn't make you feel sluggish after eating it and comes with fresh egg rolls which are okay, just not my thing. Haven't tried anything else there but heard the rice vermicelli noodle entrees are real good as well. The best things here are the drinks; the lattes and the unreal smoothies! The smoothies come in a variety of excellent flavors and they also have the tapiaco pearl freezes which are a staple of Vietnamese restaurants. Have stopped here on numerous occasions just for a smoothie. The staff is always friendly and the place is usually very quiet and hopefully more people will eat here and keep this place in business because it's a great addition to Kenosha's eating scene.
(4)Emily C.
When I noticed a few weeks ago, that they were going to be opening a Pho place so close to our house, I got super excited. Having lived in Chicago for several years, we spent many a night in New Chinatown/Vietnamesetown hitting up the Pho joints. We've missed it... but we've now found a real replacement, right in our 'hood. The egg rolls and the spring rolls were both very good. We both agree that the soup broth seems to be a bit lacking in robustness, but is flavorful. They also put in the spouts before serving... where we are used to adding our own. In my opinion, not enough (I love sprouts!)! They also served something more similar to the mint than the curlantro we're used to... but was still good! I can always use more meat... I'm a true carnovore! Definately will go again, maybe do pick up next time. You can order in advance and either walk in, or drive up to pick it up. We were told that we could get it delivered for a two dollar fee. Also, they don't take CC, but they do have an ATM in the restaurant. It also seems a bit funny when you walk in... because all of the front people are chatty HS/College kids. But, no worries, the kitchen staff are adults and seem to be all business.
(3)Mike L.
Small place with good food and good prices. The pho w/ meatballs was very good and a big portion. The broth was light and flavorful with plenty of traditional accompaniments, I especially like the basil still on the stalk. The grilled chicken with noodles was very good, the veggies were crisp, and the egg roll was tasty. Service was friendly and prompt.
(4)Yam O.
Tried the raw beef pho and it was over all very good. The only thing I would have liked better would be: the beef to be less cooked and would have liked having more veggies like bean sprouts and cilantro on the side like many Pho places do. They just gave me a slice of lime, 1 slice of pepper and some basils. The pork sandwich was also very good! I will definitely be back for more next time I go outlet shopping.
(4)Jen B.
Full disclosure... I know nothing about Vietnamese food and this was my first experience. I had the soup (name escapes me), but it had noodles and sprouts and served with lime, basil and jalapeno on the side. I had the chicken in it. The flavor was very crisp and robust. I've never had anything like it. The serving size was extremely generous. Service was good, prompt and polite. Restaurant was clean with comfortable seating. I had to use the ladies room and it was clean. I am so happy that I expanded my pallet and tried Saigon Cafe. I will certainly be back.
(4)Mike L.
My lady and I are native Chicagoans, who both lived near the Uptown neighborhood, where Argyle Street is the locus of the most Vietnamese restaurants in the city. We have our favorite place there, and we live in Kensohs now, but Saigon has become our go-to place for a quick, nutritious and flavorful meal when we just don't want to cook, or simply crave a meal of consistent freshness and quality. The dishes we return to are the pork and/or sugar cane shrimp vermicelli. The pho beef soup -- tender slices of raw, lean beef that cooks once it's in the piping hot broth -- is also a favorite of ours, as are the spring rolls. The only real miss for me was their bubble teas, which are fine but just not special. So glad they're here in Kenosha - we loved them from first bite and have had many happy returns.
(4)Ralph M.
I had the banh mi sandwich. Yum! Everything was very fresh and tasty. Egg roll was freshly made. My wife had the shrimp bun, a little light on the sauce, but otherwise good. A nice lunch when outlet malling. It is about 10 minutes away.
(5)Billy M.
Strike One.. I have anticipated the opening of Saigon Cafe for some time, as Vietnamese food is one of my favs. I found their menu posted online and today I called in an order. I requested 2 orders of Spring Rolls, but received Egg Rolls, the Grilled Pork Chop Vermicelli and some coconut juice. The food was not particularly special or different.. The sweet and sour sauce was watery and not very sweet or sour. The menu is not extensive but there are some other things that seem worth trying.. we'll see.
(2)Sarah B.
I saw some reviews and decided to check this place out. Wow, totally unassuming from the outside but what a great place. The pho (we tried the chicken pho and the fried tofu pho) was just ok. If you have had good pho on chicago's north side, this doesn't compare to that - but, the sprouts, fresh basil, lime wedge, and sliced jalapenos they serve on the side make it so fresh tasting that it was worth getting again. We tried the curry chicken as well: absolutely delicious. Amazingly tasty, not heavy and pasty like some other places make curry. It was light and so tender, the carrots and potatoes in it were great. The curry was good enough for me to come back again and again for. They serve it with rice noodles, and the portions of everything is big. The pho is big enough for 2 or 3 meals - for 6.99. The curry could make 2 meals also (for only 6.49) but it was so good we ate it all at the cafe. I was also excited to find they make bubble tea, we have been looking for a place to get our tapioca freeze fix since moving to kenosha. I always get the taro freeze, very delicious and creamy but about standard if you have had other places to compare to. I hear the espresso is great there, that is what I look forward to trying next. And for me, it is only a few blocks from where I live. I couldn't be happier with my find at Saigon Cafe - it is a refreshing twist in the not-so-diverse cuisine of Kenosha.
(5)Chad M.
Went there on Monday afternoon for lunch. Was surprised to find the place pretty empty. It was my very first time EVER trying Vietnamese food. I got the Bun with grilled chicken. It was a good size serving, and smelled AMAZING. I almost went back to Saigon Cafe the next day again for lunch. I also got a Mango Tapioca Freeze, and it was really good, but didn't seem to have a strong mango flavor, to me at least...That is the only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 Stars. It was kind of watery. But the food, the service, and the cleanliness are INCREDIBLE. I will be back again, and again...
(4)Patricia O.
Had the grilled chicken bun. Wow!!!! Will be back to try the pho.
(4)Har M.
Recently visited the Saigon Cafe for lunch on a weekday. Discovered it through Yelp on my mobile. I loved the food and the service. Not too many options for a vegetarian. However, the Fried Tofu noodles were great. Great serving size for the Chai latte!
(4)Donnaquilt S.
I wanted to like this place but .... The food is heavy on noodles or rice. I would like a little more meat with an order. The meat is flavored nicely. We will go back for food again, but I really wanted to love this restaurant, and it is just ok. I stopped one morning for a just a cup of coffee to go. It was burned and bitter like it was left over from the day before. My son ordered a smoothie and the person had no idea really how to make it. It was very heavy on the orange juice. We won't do that again.

We love this place! The raw beef pho is just what you need once in a while. The ban mi are all good, and the rice dishes are good as well, if that is what you are in the mood for. The only thing that could use some fixing is the curry. But that does not matter because what you should be eating here is the pho or the ban mi.
