Saigon Pho And Grill

4.5 stars *only* bc we haven't tried everything, yet. I rarely give out 5 star ratings, but they may get an updated one after we have tried them a few times :)

I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place (finally) in Monroe bc we head up to Stevens Pass every other weekend for skiing and this mama can only cook and pack so many meals for every trip

Anyways, the food that we ordered togo were superb and this is a legit Vietnamese restaurant with Vietnamese cooks in the kitchen This is very rare to find these days.

The space had about about 10-12 tables and spaced out well. Lunch time can get pretty busy, but it's worth the wait! We ordered togo over the phone and stopped by to pick it up on the way up to the mountains. Make sure you ask for utensils and napkins if you're eating on the go!

What we ordered:
-egg rolls: delicious, crispy & filled with traditional ingredients including pork, carrots, wood ear mushrooms, glass vermicelli noodles. Some Viet folks like to add taro to their egg rolls & this restaurant happens to do so as well. We were very pleasantly pleased. 10/10

-grilled pork vermicelli bowl: the meat was well seasoned and the fish sauce was blended just right. This dish comes with vermicelli rice noodles, shredded iceberg lettuce (not traditional, but worked very nicely), cucumbers, pickled daikon radish & carrots. 10/10 recommend

-broccoli stir fry with chicken: I loved the type of rice they used - it's so fluffy! This dish came with chicken, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. Smelled fantastic & the kids loved it (didn't get a chance to taste it, but I'm sure it was yum).

-kids meal chicken chow mein: this was a small portion of stir fried noodles with just chicken. Next time I will order the regular size so that maybe it'll come with veggies, too. Tasted fine, nothing special. Will order the regular size next time.

-crispy tofu appetizer: I love all kinds of tofu (except stinky tofu IYKYK lol), but this one wasn't really crunchy. That's okay bc I added it to the vermicelli bowl & it was a great addition.

Overall, we will definitely come back to try the other items on the menu. I'm so happy we found a legitimate Viet restaurant we can swing by to grab food whenever we head up to Stevens or down on the way home. Definitely recommend giving them a try!!

This is my second time here, they make amazing Pho and Bahn Mi. The place is spacious and the crew are nice. I really recommend their Bahn Mi!

Price is the same as any Vietnamese place. Just okay

Plenty of parking outside since it's in a commercial area

There's lots of choices to choose from and a variety of drinks you can order

Tables are well spaced for social distancing and they have different sizes of tables for big and small families

Ordered the Special Pho (Beef Combination pho) as my main dish and Fresh Spring Rolls as my appetizer. The Spring Rolls had a good amount of bite to it and the peanut sauce compliment it well. On the other hand, the Pho was mediocre. The broth was darker than usual and I wish it had more flavor. It's a bit bland but I'm not oppose to coming back to try different dishes. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Came here with my husband and we got the special pho, pork banh mi, and the Rock N Roll beef rice dish.

We enjoyed all of our dishes. Also, they have more condiments at the table than most places usually offer. Chili oil on the table brings me delight.

Pho was good. The broth was nice and delicate. Most places make their broth too sweet and salty, but this place had a nice flavor without harsh salty/sweet flavors. The tendon was tender and soft, and the brisket was flavorful and not tough or chewy.

The banh mi was different from what Im used to, but it was still very tasty. The crisp pickled vegetables were delicious. My grilled pork banh mi also had sautéed onions on it, which I am not familiar with as a banh mi ingredient, but it worked! The bread was crisp on the outside, but still had a nice chew to it. So good.

I didn't taste the Rock and roll beef, but my husband really liked it. It came with a cup of broth and a side of nuoc cham, which went well with the rice dish.

I'd be glad to return again for a hot piping bowl of pho again, rain or shine.

I’m very picky when it come to my pho broth, this is definitely hand down the best broth I’ve had in the Greater Seattle Area. They have the perfect amount of noodles/meat/broth ratio. Thus far, I’ve have no complaints.
