Prob my second fav pho place in Tampa. Love Thinh Ahn because of bakery I always get veggie pho with beef broths and love this place because they use bok choy. I love pho Queyen because they use bok choy and baby Bella. Out of all 3 places though I believe this place has better broth. My husband loves they have crunchy fat on the brisket

It's Ben YEARS since I've had Saigon deli maybe 8 or more. It's just as good as I remember. Pho dac biet - basically a deluxe pho with all the works. The broth is flavorful and the noodles hold their shape well. It tastes just as it should authentic Beef banh mi - very good and the ingredients are fresh . Banh mi's from my experience tend to have a sweet and savory protein with the sweet pickled veggies. This was excellent as well Service - the food comes out very quickly and the staff is polite. will come again

A staple in Tampa, if you're wanting some authentic and affordable Vietnamese food - this is it. The parking lot can get busy, especially on the weekends because it is part of a plaza with other stores like a filipino restaurant and Asian grocery store. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and some options of pre packaged goods your can take to go. The service is quick and straightforward. And the menu has all the standard options of noodle soups, noodle bowls, rice plates, banh mi, and the classic viet iced coffee and other slushies. Bun bo hue ($13): spicy bun noodle soup w beef, pork, tendon. We haven't been back in years and having had BBH in Houston (the mecca of Vietnamese food imo), this honestly wasn't as good as I remembered. The broth was a bit sweet? And there were no pork blood cubes! Grilled pork with rice ($12): Their grilled pork is top tier. The meat is well seasoned and has that delicious grilled taste to it. The rice plate is one of the best! Grilled pork banh mi ($5.5): like I said, grilled pork is literally the best. The banh mi is excellent, and this is the most popular one for a reason Highly recommend their grilled pork dishes, banh mi or the rice plate!

You know the place is good if it's surround with local viet elders, and someone's yelling in the back! Pho was perfectly beef and light. Not overwhelming in spices but perfect for anytime. There's a fair amount of meat which is great, and the banh caun or steam rolls was delicious as well! make sure to not leave without the sauce! interior is small so not really fit for super huge groups but i'm sure the restaurant can accommodate to your group. parking is fair and location is next to the busy road

After seeing so many reviews about how great this place was I just had to try it out for myself. It was packed when I arrived so had to wait 10 min for a table indoors. Was greeted right away and I ordered everything that I wanted. The broth for the pho was solid. The eggrolls were fresh! The best dish though was the grilled pork sandwich which was a great price of 5.50. Only constructive criticism I have is I would have loved to be checked on after our pho and eggrolls were dropped of at the table because they forgot about the pork sandwich which we wanted to try before the soup. All in all I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a solid choice for pho.

My first impression is: It's very authentic! You can seat yourself and a waiter/waitress will come to you. We were greeted by multiple employees . I love that they can speak both Viet and English since I always get so shy speaking Viet. The food was delicious!! They were able to accommodate a small bowl of pho broth for me since I wanted to taste it, but not have to finish a big bowl of pho. My food was delicious!!! It brings me back home! Their broth is just MMMM! Rich and delicious! My husband got the bánh mi, and we've established that 1 is not enough. Haha! I also ordered the avocado boba as well! Only complaint is that she kinda forgot.. so it took a little while to get it but it's a small deal. Pay at the counter.

The word for this place is "authentic". I had to use a map app to find Saigon Deli. It's in a hidden strip mall offset from the main road. Finding it though is so worth it. The place is clean & busy, & the workers were kind & helpful. I started with a Chicken Banh Mi sandwich & an iced Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. Both were very, very good & priced well. I inquired about the steamed pork buns that people around us were getting. So we ordered that too & it was delicious. The employees & many patrons were speaking Vietnamese. This helped to whisk us into another culture which really was very cool. By the way a few doors down is an incredibly large Vietnamese grocery store. Next time I visit, I will be trying one of the huge Pho Bowls everyone was ordering.
