Saigon cafe Restaurante in Buitenveldert-West

Okay, but there are just not enough noodles and ingredients in it!!!

Good price, especially lunch! I love pho.

The food is always delicious. The service is friendly and welcoming. Parking is easy.

We eat here regularly... We had small bugs in the pho once. Okay, it happens. Maybe the lettuce wasn't washed? Annoying, but probably just an isolated incident. Last time, we had bugs in the pho for the second time. Okay, so it's a regular occurrence. We sent feedback to the pickup team but never heard anything back.

A bit overrated on TikTok and other social media channels. Pho Ga was delicious, a mushroom bouillon cube. It certainly didn't taste authentic, but it was well-filled with chicken, but it was disappointing. The duck rice was inedible. The duck was dry and tasted old, definitely not worth €20. The salad roll with grilled shrimp and chicken skewers was tasty and fresh, but I wouldn't go back.

It's hard to find food that suits Korean tastes in Amsterdam, but Vietnamese food is good. It was delicious.

It seems like the quality of the food depends on the chef's mood. If he's having a bad day, you can taste it right away on your plate. It feels like we, as guests, are just expected to go along with his mood – and that shouldn't be the case, of course. If you read the comments below, you'll only see standard responses. They don't even really look at the reviews or respond to the content. It's a shame, it doesn't come across as genuine 🤷🏻‍♀️ You might as well not respond at all; it comes across as very impersonal and disinterested.

Great restaurant! Especially good service! The food arrived super fast and was delicious. The chicken Bahn Mi is highly recommended.

Bad service，the waitress is rude to us

Delicious pho and goi cuon! They even have a lunch special menu too! Dont skip the lemongrass or strawberry lemonade =)

Our favorite place for lunch, lunch set are value for money with main and side dish. Authentic asian taste.

ordered a take away ( had the tofu noodles dish with chicken spring rolls), was the only thing I ate yesterday- woke up at 2 am with horrible food poisoning. same day as i injured my ankle aa well, litr can’t walk and now throwing my guts out 😭 update: THIS IS THE WORST FOOD POISONING OF MY LIFE. I had to be hospitalised at 5 am because it was that bad and wouldn’t stop, I also don’t have health insurance here yet so that costed a bunch. I felt my absolute worst, and it still keeps going, at least hospital injections helped a bit. DO NOT EAT HERE.

Me and my girlfriend ordered food from here. Tasted fine. But gave us the worlds worst food poisoning imaginable. Bad food quality does that to you. Do not recommend at all. Avoid risking food poisoning and just go eat elsewhere.

Great food, very fast. Not too expensive.

I participated in the 2025 sail Amsterdam. My children treated me to the lemongrass beef noodles at this restaurant. The beef was very tender and the soup was rich.

Our visit was not as expected. We had high expectations based on the reviews, but encountered the following: • The food had little to no flavor, so despite our appreciation for Vietnamese cuisine, we left a large portion untouched. • I ordered fresh coconut juice, served in a coconut. However, the flesh turned out to be too old and so hard that it was impossible to eat with a spoon. This significantly diminished the overall experience. The juice also seemed watered down, which made the taste disappointing. • There were no sunshades, which made it very hot in the sun. I realize I chose to sit by the window, but sunshades would have made the stay more pleasant for guests. • The restaurant felt cluttered, dusty, and dirty; the restroom was also unclean. • During our stay, there were a noticeable number of flies, which significantly diminished our dining experience.

Wonderful Viet food here. The broth is tasty and we miss asian food. This restaurant certainly serve great noodle in Amsterdam. We are staying in Crowne Plaza South. A short walk from the hotel.

Hue beef noodle soup is salty like salt, the broth has a lot of annatto oil color, feels greasy and not right taste. Pho and beef noodle soup have only a few slices of meat. Female staff attitude is bad and disrespectful to customers, no one says goodbye when leaving... advise people not to come here to enjoy!!!!

A good restaurant serving Vietnamese cuisine. Delicious food, fast service, and a great price. Recommended!

I used to be a fan of this restaurant, but the last two times I've been there, it's been bad. The meat is pre-cooked and is cold and tough, and the rice is old and hard, sticking together in chunks. It's nothing like it used to be when everything was fresh. The service is functional but nothing special. Last time I went, it was the last time.

Ordered two pho today. The second bite had a dead fly on my spoon. I immediately called the staff, but they didn't want us to do it anymore. The staff initially tried to deny it. When we left, they said, "Bye, you're going somewhere else." Very rude, and indeed, we went elsewhere. Unsanitary. We'd eaten here before, but never again.

Staff was quick with the order and the table. Pho was delicious, soup was flavorfull. The banh xeo was unfortunately not crunchy enough and i was missing some herbs. Nevertheless a perfect spot for a quick bite

I had lunch there on 7 July. The wait staff was not super friendly and more interested in speaking with each other than taking care of customers. Based on reviews I read, I had expectations about the food and was disappointed. First of all, I ordered the Banh Xheo. It was definitely not authentic. They didn’t provide with the necessary, herbs and lettuce that is traditionally served on the side, and I had to pay extra when I asked for it. The pancake was not crispy as should be the case, it was quite Soggy and somewhat bland. This is such a simple dish to make, and it was disappointing that no effort was made here. I also ordered the Vietnamese spareribs. Again, here little effort was made. The ribs were fried and served on a bed of rice, but we’re not crispy and again rather bland. The nuoc mam was watery. If you’re looking to have an authentic Vietnamese meal, I would suggest to go elsewhere. However, if you’re seeking for a quick Asian Influenced meal And you’re not too picky you might be satisfied enough.

Tasty food and big portions. So worth it!

Great food! Big portions & fair prices compared to others. Menu discounts during lunch time (really worth it). Free parking in the mall or the street. I'm a regular visitor, always happy to visit this place.

Food is delivered very quickly.

Eating a pho soup there is okay. However, a takeaway meal is substandard. Let me not give any examples.. oh and the staff is anything but service-oriented.

Very delicious food, excellent service...highly recommended

Both the rice noodles and the bun cha were delicious~Similar to the taste I had in Korea

Fantastic food, excellent Vietnamese coffee, ginormous portions, reasonable prices. Spicy dishes are proper spicy. Love it!

Food was delicious and prepared quickly. We were a bit late, but were able to quickly order everything at once before the kitchen closed. The service was also very good.

Good foods, friendly personnel, location easy to access, free parking option.

Delicious meal with 4 people, lots of starters, also a good wine list Definitely recommended

The pho is delicious and so are the drinks

They have a lunch deal where you can choose a pho and a side. It’s a okay place to go for a quick lunch.

The vegetables in the cold noodles in the lunch set were not fresh, and the fried spring rolls tasted weird. I will not eat here again

Always nice to have lunch here, pho with spring roll and a fresh home made ice tea!

Chicken not good, like gum, service nice, reztaurant look nice

Unfortunately, I've never had such salty pho before. A few large pieces of Beef (as if it were uncut and difficult to eat). For the rest it was fine!

Delicious food and drinks with a good price ratio :)

As a regular customer we had a disappointing experience here: when eating desert we ordered more ice cream for the kids to eat with the fried banana. Meanwhile the waitress took a dish of fried banana that we were still eating and threw it away! Staff didnt do anything about it. No new dish / no discount on the bill. Guess we are paying for food that gets trown away now...

The soup is hot enough, which is very important in a place as cold as the Netherlands! ! There are so many noodles that you can feel very full, and the meat is also delicious.

As somebody that grew up eating Vietnamese food, their pho was a dissapointment. The broth was just salt water with no flavour from spices typically used for pho. If you are looking for authentic vietnamese food, this is not the restaurant. Friendly staff though. The seat cushions were also really stained. Kinda gross to sit on.

we order food on line， then they just cancel it when we were on the way. Then we direct go there and order pho and other items， but we don’t know why everybody of our four vomited after we ate pho 15-20min.

Lunch set is a good deal. Friendly staff and comfy seating.

The best lemongrass ice tea ever! The portions are good and the service is also good.

I think the pho is very authentic, the beef brisket is so soft, the best beef brisket I’ve ever eaten in my life. Vietnam Ho is so authentic, the beef brisket is so soft, it melts in your mouth, the best beef brisket!

Generous, wholesome portions and staff is absolutely lovely, thank you!

Tasty food, obviously fresh ingredients. Super friendly and attentive employees. Thank you for your hospitality.

authentic vietnamese restaurant! must try the pho

Everything here is on top, the Pho was so delicate. We came here for lunch without reservation and had to wait for a while. So yeah, you should book a place before dinning in.

Food was fine. We had to look for service and it had been on the back of her phone for quite some time. The place really needs to be cleaned thoroughly because the lighting, windows, walls, in fact everything was very dirty. Partly because of this, we will not come back here again

The waiters are very nice. Food is delicious and relatively cheap. Atmosphere great.

It was my first time here, unfortunately a table was assigned and waited 10-15minutes when I decided to leave. Employees are not not customer friendly and just pass you by. What a waste of my time.

Love the place in the neibourhood. Good lunch deal, fast service

Very crowded during lunch time but the staff was responsive and friendly. The food however was below average. We ordered the Pho Bo Kho and the broth tasted like the instant Pho package. Such a shame since the service was good.

Nice food and location! Have a good lunch deal

One of my favorite places to eat Pho in Amsterdam, we come here quite often. Its only unfortunate that the limes are so tiny and the portion of chilli is so little (compared to every single other place) that we have to ask for extra each time.

Inside the mall next to Element Hotel. Came in in the evening looking for food from Asia. After a short wait, I was seated and ordered fresh spring rolls and pho with fried tofu. I was curious about the drink next to me, so I ordered the same one, which was ginger tea with a large amount of ginger in it. Ginger doesn't have the spiciness that you get in Japan, but it has a heartwarming taste. The pho is full of coriander and very satisfying.

Steamed rice with some pieces of chicken for € 18.00, what a disappointment, but the friendly staff.

Delicious food, quick service, decent prices. Lunch sets are for a big hunger

One of the reason I stay in this neighborhood, absolutely good taste and service

Great pho! The banh mi is also quite good. Recommendations: - Pho with beef slices - Lunch deal (pho and banh mi)👍

I being tasting different restaurants in the city and I can said that this is for far my favourite spot I truly love this pho !!

Come here to eat rice noodles sometimes. Hot soup is more delicious when eaten in the store. This lemongrass beef brisket rice is for takeout. Because it is very suitable for reheating in a hotel microwave and is still very delicious.

Food is very good. On a terrace outside was very nice and the help was good.

Tasty food, friendly service and a beautiful restaurant! Would recommend for good Vietnamese food!

Another great meal here. After a bad experience elsewhere yesterday, we had to go to Saigon Caphe again to enjoy ourselves. The Pho Nam was again great, rich complex flavor in the soup. The meat was tender and the noodles just good. The Vietnamese iced coffee was nice and strong and highly recommended. The bahn mi was also great!

Saved my Chinese stomach. Came here to eat beef noodles and drink iced black tea.

Be honestly, the restaurant doesn’t give me a good impression. First, there is nobody to welcome me when I look for a seat for my dinner, and waiting alone very long……finally the waitress saw me and I took order the “Bok choy & Tofu Rice noodles” on the menu , “and” ordered extra Topping “Bok Choy”. However, the noodles was without extra topping when I got it…..🤦‍♀️ , so I asked the waitress where is the topping that I ordered? She told me that “the topping is already inside the noodles” 🤷‍♀️ “what?? only 2 pieces of Bok choy inside the soup?” “But I paid extra money…”I thought. “But it’s fine~I trusted her.🤨” Next day, I went to the same restaurant in the central station branch, and took order the same dish with the topping “Bok Choy”…and It was coming with extra Bok Choy in another plate.👍👍 I realized that the restaurant or the waitress in the Gelderlandplein branch is dishonest….very disappointed.😔😔

This was a far cry from their branch in Stadshart which is always an enjoyable experience. The food wasn't as good and the service was not friendly. They were flexible and accommodating with our dietary restrictions though.

Very tasty. small and messy. Delicious iced teas!!

Food was really good. service was fast and friendly. I’ll come visit soon!

A wide choice of good quality dishes and friendly staff

I have been here multiple times, and they have been pleasant. But today, we were treated rudely by a waiter that I don't usually see there. He took the order of the table next to us, even when we arrived first. And then when we told him that we want to order, he came but then immediately left us because he "needs to say hi to his friend who was passing by". We wouldn't mind that if he had asked one of his colleagues to maybe take our order in the mean time. He chatted at the door with his friend for quite some minutes, and when one of ask walked to the door to ask if someone else can take our order, he aggressively complained about our request! I mentioned that it felt rude to leave us in the middle of ordering, and he gaslit us, saying that it's not rude, while raising his voice! How unprofessional. Needless to say, we left to eat at the restaurant next door. If I see that man serving in the restaurant, I will not come to dine in. Very unpleasant experience, rude, and disappointing since usually this place has nice service.

Food tasted ok. I would recommend the salad bowl which in my opinion was quite close to authentic. The noddle soup was not really good, we only finished half of it. Main dish is acceptable, but not recommend with starter since price point is high for very small portion.

Very friendly staff, chill vibe. Pho is really delicious, with lot of beef and meat balls! Visited it several times, always keep high standard. Lemon grass tea is also very nice. It has been my first choice when I don’t want to cook at home.

Nice atmosphere. Very cosy. Price-quality-quantity a bit out of balance but nevertheless tasty. Definitely come back.

Forgot to take a picture of the beef pho =.= Overall it’s good, the Avocado shake is delicious.

Good food, nice service & atmosphere. I'm a picky Asian lady who travels and eats-out a lot. And this is one of the resto I visit a lot for comfort food.

Store people are so kind and the foods are great. We visited here more than one time.

Beef rice noodles, grilled lamb skewers, and grilled beef skewers are delicious

Great Vietnamese Food place. Highly recommended 😋🍜

I've never written a bad review before, but the experience I had today was way below par. We had dinner in the restaurant and then decided to order the following dishes for takeaway: Vit Kho | Duck Breast in Caramel Sauce and Com Chien Dac Biet | Fried Rice Saigon Special. When we went to unpack and heat up the food later that evening, we were shocked by what we found. The duck we got, it looked like it was all leftovers. We paid 19 euros and the container was only 1/3 full. And one thing is certain, the duck was anything but fresh; it was completely dried up and hard. It looked like a collected mess! I wonder where you get the courage to give something like that to customers. As I have stated before, I normally never write a bad review, out of respect for my experience in the hospitality industry. But what I ordered and received today is really not possible.

Best Vietnamese in the area. Gracjan which works there does an incredible service towards the client.

Here is our favorite restaurant & place as it is close to the Asia supermarket. The staff are always friendly here.

I'll never come here again. Lost regular customer. Where I am normally satisfied with the service. They were super antisocial yesterday.

We love this place and eat here very regularly. It's not fancy but just tasty. Fan of the Pho.... We love to come.. see you all soon

A regular address of mine for Vietnamese food. Wide choice of pho, banh mi and other dishes. It is especially beneficial during lunch. Lemongrass ice tea is always a nice drink to order.

Staff is extremely friendly but the food was really crappy. Perhaps the bowls/pho are better, but the meat was tough, the spring rolls soaked in fat/oil. Because we were quite hungry, we just ate it (except for the spring rolls because that was just impossible). The poor quality of the food is masked by a lot of sauce. They seem to have deteriorated in quality, perhaps different chef. Quite a shame because it is a nice tent. I couldn't stay here anymore.

I have been to this Vietnamese pho restaurant countless times. It has its signature beef pho and raw beef pho. Highly recommended.

SO GOOOOOD, amazing broth, reasonable price , good amount of meat given. fresh chillis are also given, that’s a plus for a thai like me.

Super nice people and lovely authentic food.

Enjoy lunch again at the weekend. Be sure to get in before the crowds. Food is a bit too bland for me. Beef broth can have some punch. Management sometimes seems to have lost an overview.

Wij komen hier super vaak en bestellen ook regelmatig. Heerlijk eten en super personeel! De huisgemaakte lemon ice tea zeker een aanrader

Heerlijk gegeten, gezellige sfeer, geen gehaast.

Saigon op het Gelderlandplein is de plek voor een heerlijke lunch. Hun Pho heeft veel smaak en de proties zijn groot. De gezellige sfeer en vriendelijke service maken het plaatje compleet. Ook hun Lemongrass Ice Tea is aan te bevelen!

Always come back for the pho. The best.

Heel lekkere lunch in fijn gezelschap.

Saigon style food. Small but nice. Friendly staff with fantastic English skills.
