I visited this restaurant because of its convenient location, and no one stayed in line at that particular time. I am not a regular eater of pho soup, but this time I decided to eat here. My reaction to this food is not very impressive because there is not really much to eat for the price I paid, about $18 dollars together with tax and tip. Furthermore, I wish they could add something else extra for that price, just like Mexican restaurants do(nachos, salsa and some veggies). Unfortunately, after this restaurant, I had to go to another place and buy a humburger so that I would not be hungry and be able to last till dinner. There were about eight people inside. Overall, the experience was acceptable.

When I received my sandwich I accidentally dropped my napkins and my kind server dropped to one knee, gathered my napkins, threw them away, and handed me new ones, all in one swift movement. Chivalry is not dead. Very caring staff. The banh mi is light and tasty

Every time I get the vermicelli noodle salad bowl I black out and come to 15 minutes later having inhaled 90% of it and using the wrong side of the chopsticks the whole time. It is so so good, the beef is so well marinated and they put such a nice mix of veggies in there and it is such a satisfying and healthy meal. My boyfriend really likes their banh mi as well and they are very reasonably priced!! The servers are so kind and personable. I love this place out of all the changes in downtown Berkeley I’m glad Saigon express has stayed ❤️

We ordered the rare beef and brisket pho. The pho broth was good, but the toppings plate was a bit meager. There was a nice quantity of beef, but it came to the table a bit overcooked for rare. It tasted like something was missing.

The Banh Mi is probably the best thing here. Unfortunately my $16 Chicken Udon Pho came with rubberized, overcooked, bland chicken. And I suspect the broth too was nothing more than cheap store-bought broth :/

The owner is super friendly. I enjoy his hospitality of his restaurant he is very kind. I understand that it is the very heart of Berkeley and I do come here a lot now but $10 flat is just a little high but I understand. I will continue to come back. Its very delicious pho and he is willing to do ajustments for you

The pho here is really delicious and the portion sizes here are fantastic. The shrimp spring rolls were also really delicious. Prices are very reasonable and the food comes out pretty quickly.
