One of my longtime spots for consistent quality. Service is quick and great. Some staff can speak multiple languages, which makes ordering much easier and accessible to people. Place is known for their pho and is actually the sister location to the Golden Deli, where they have won multiple awards and recognitions. This time I opted for their Pho Tai Nam, which includes rare steak and brisket. Pho has a sweet and savory flavor. Definitely recommend! Their com tam (broken rice) and bun (cold noodles) are also quite amazing here.

I've been coming here my whole life with my family. The food is always good and the egg rolls and avocado smoothies are bomb!! Seriously, I love the avocado smoothies. It's no joke. The service here is good and the workers are friendly. My mom recently said that the quality isn't quite as good as it used to be so we haven't been back in a while. I doubt we'll stay away for too long though because we love this place and have loved it for around 20 years.

Service was super quick and all the people here are very friendly. They did their best to get us comfortable as our part was a bit big and required more space, which I really appreciated. It's a really cute Vietnamese restaurant if you're in the San Gabriel area and are craving Vietnamese food. I was not in a Vietnamese food mood, but the family was, so I went with my comfort choice and ordered the Com Suon Cha Gio (Pork Chop and Eggroll with Steamed Rice). Flavors were strong and eggroll had a good crunch. The portion is huge too, with a large bed of rice on the plate and the meat and eggrolls on top. The one that really had my mouth watering was the hu tieu my fiance ordered. It was a dry noodle type of dish, but there was so much sauce, it looked amazing. Unfortunately my plate had me too full to try it, but I'll be sure to order that next time I go back.

Was craving a good bun rieu (Vietnamese tomato-based crab noodle soup) and we usually go to Golden Deli San Gabriel for this but decided to see if there's another local place that offers this dish. I'm used to GD's style presentation and flavor profile for this dish so I'm usually hesitant to try new places. I read somewhere that this place is very similar to GD so why not try it out? We arrived to their private back parking lot (a plus!) a bit after they opened. There's maybe room for 10 or so cars. Upon entering the restaurant, it was very similar to GD's decor but with less buzz and no queue. Immediately, we were handed menus and I looked for bun rieu. Menu is similar to GD both in terms of items offered, down to typeface. Bun rieu arrived after about 10 mins and it looked pretty similar. Taste wise, it was yummy and I added most of the lime and herbs that were given. I was a happy camper! We also had an order of fresh spring rolls which were tasty and rounded out the meal. At the last minute, I also ordered a dessert drink. It was full of coconut strings, red bean, condensed and evaporated milk and jelly strings. Definitely a treat...sweet, indulgent and another one of my many guilty pleasures. Service is fine, very homey and even if there may be a language barrier as some reviewers have mentioned, the staff will be there for you to help make your experience. I hope to be back soon to try other items but I'll probably stick with my trusty bun rieu hahaha

Saigon Flavor has always been a Vietnamese restaurant I frequent throughout the year and after my last time there it has become my top choice. Every time I come here I never have to wait too long for a table and the quality of food is so good. I'm surprised it's not busier. The rice dishes here are my go-to order. I get the stir beef fried with onion over steamed rice and of course, I have to add the baked egg. It's a perfect meal. My cousin have been cravings for curry so she ordered it here and it was delicious. You can have it with noodles or bread. I bet you can even have it with a side of rice. Rice is my preferred way. Viet curry is my favorite curry style. It's more soupy and not too thick but it is packed with flavor. They make it great! In addition in offering rice and curry dishes they also have porridge, soup noodles, thin rice vermicelli, Banh mi, beef stew, red rice with diced filet mignon or Cornish hen, and delicious appetizers. The menu is big. Service is great and always welcoming. Overall, if you're cravings for delicious Vietnamese food this is your place.

Saigon Flavor has been around for decades. I've always enjoyed eating their Bun Rieu. Great customer service from all the times being there. Prices were reasonably affordable and there is a parking lot in the back of the little plaza.

I love coming here for Viet soul food. Saigon Flavor is the sister restaurant to Golden Deli (almost always crowded to the gills). After trying GD a few times I think the food at Saigon Flavor, tastes more homey and delicious. The eggrolls, the shrimp paste, and the bùn here are particularly delicious here also. And love the Cornish game hen over red rice. Service is always prompt and super efficient. Note to self: Wait staff don't usually smile here, but it doesn't mean they're rude or dismissive. They just want to serve you efficiently, and they hope you enjoy the meal. EOY!

We came here on a Thursday evening. Warning - this place closes early! We got here at 7:30pm and were surprised that they were closing at 8pm. They have a parking lot in the back which was nice. We ordered the normal pho with beef and tendons and a side of spring roll (shrimp and pork). The pho was pretty standard, but actually quite delicious. I came here on my friends recommendation that it was a cheaper version of golden deli. I'm not sure I'm sold as I think I would still prefer Golden Deli over Saigon Flavor. The spring roll was a disappointment though. The rice wrap was not fresh to the point where it was chewy. My friend even ended up unwrapping it just to get to the meat. They indirectly shoo'ed us out after 8pm by handing us the check so we quickly wrapped up our meal and left.
