What People Are Saying About Miss Saigon Cafe

In Short – Enter and admire the giant street-scene Saigon mural, then take your seat and take a break from shopping in the Village with delicious eggrolls, succulent mixed vegetable dishes, ample vermicelli bowls of pork, chicken or seafood and zesty entrees like lemongrass chicken. Don't miss the intensely flavorful coffees. There's also a diverse and affordable wine list.

  1. My one big complaint is they only offer the pho three days a week, and there is really no other good pho place to eat unless you go to mid-town or downtown.

Freshness and great service

by Pumpkinpie

I found this cute little restaurant in the heart of Rice Village. Their dishes are huge and fresh, you can tell that they don't sit around in the kitchen waiting to be served. This is one of my favorite restaurants. I was there with my girlfriends and my grand kids for lunch over the weekend, the waitresses was so sweet and gave us plenty of attentions; even though, they were busy. This place differs with other Asian places that I try before, no MSG. I plan traveling to some Asia countries with my girlfriends, of course Vietnam is one of them. The girl was so kind to tell me that they use MSG a lot in the food, she wrote MSG in Vietnamese and gave it to me. EVERYONE, if you want great service, great food try this place.

One of My Fav's

by SonRose

I have been going to Miss Saigon for years. Their vermicilli bowls are great and all of their ingredients are very fresh. A nice change of pace to some of the other Vietnamese places in Houston.

  • Pros: Great Food and Vietnamese Coffee
  • Cons: Parking can be tricky in the Village

Good if you like trendy

by jenkwany

My boyfriend and I were craving pho and found this place in the heart of the Village. The food was good, but overpriced. If you are new to Vietnamese cuisine, this is the place for you. But there is much cheaper Vietnamese food for the quantity and authentic quality, especially here in Houston! The appeal is more in presentation of the food and trendiness.

  • Pros: Good service, Presentation of food

Great Food

by verladyne

The food is excellent and the service is even better.

I had a business lunch at Miss Saigon and had to take my 10 month old with me. The waitress paid constant attention to him and keep him in a great mood. She helped make the lunch a very pleasurable one.

  • Pros: Great service, Yummy food
