We all have that one place we pass by and keep telling ourselves, "I'll try it next time." Well, with Saigon Express, you absolutely MUST try it on your next visit to Peanut Plaza, or better yet, go out of your way to discover this little gem. I stumbled upon it a few months ago and have been exploring their extensive menu one dish at a time. Let me tell you, every single one has been delicious. The flavours are authentic and well balanced, ingredients are fresh, and the portions are generous. Whether you're in the mood for a warm bowl of pho or something from their wide selection of rice and noodle dishes, you can't go wrong here. On top of the amazing food, the owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, they make you feel like a regular from your very first visit. If you haven't been here yet, do yourself a favour and stop in you won't regret it. P.S. This place is open until 8pm; however the staff does take a break around 3pm, so if the doors are closed feel free to knock on the door to order.
I ordered #2 house special pho. And my wife ordered lemon grass chicken with rice noodles. We both found the food tasted fantastic and was well-seasoned. Everything is cooked perfectly. The flavors work so well together. The food was exceptional, the presentation flawless. Sanitary and cleanliness exceptional from our point of view. Tables are sanitary sprayed and cleaned right after each customer finished eating and left. The staff is very friendly. The entire management and staff provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We truly feel so welcomed and taken care of during the entire dining experience. The price is reasonable. The volume size is more than expected. Highly recommended. We certainly will come back again.
Absolutely delicious food with amazing service. Love the atmosphere. Really enjoyed the pho, you can tell it's an authentic broth and they give you a great amount of noodles and meat. Their lemongrass beef is also amazing, has that desirable grilled flavor. Big fan of the chicken wings as well! Highly recommend.
Hello This restaurante is really good the food ,the staff etc but they have ONE big mistake,they close at the same time Kids get out of school and moms want to buy some food there.You should close before 3pm between.
I requested a dish that was not on the menu. It was beef with black bean sauce on flat rice noodles. They accommodated my request right on the spot and made a very tasty dish!! Such friendly staff! Will definitely come back.
From the moment I stepped into Saigon Express, I was transported—not just to another restaurant, but to a bustling street corner in the heart of Vietnam. This place doesn’t just serve food—it tells a story with every bite. I started with the beef pho, and let me tell you, the broth alone deserves its own standing ovation. Deep, rich, and lovingly simmered, it felt like something only a grandmother could perfect over hours. The noodles were silky, the beef tender, and the fresh herbs brought everything to life. Each spoonful warmed my soul. But the true showstopper? The grilled lemongrass beef and rice. Perfectly charred, smoky, with that citrusy kick of lemongrass that lingered on the palate just long enough to make you crave the next bite. Topped with a crispy egg, pickled carrots, and a splash of fish sauce—it was a harmony of texture and flavor I won’t soon forget. On top of that, real tea, real lemon. After the warm, savoury lemongrass beef, that first cold sip was insanely refreshing—clean, citrusy, actually thirst quenching. Exactly what you want after a rich bite. The service? Impeccable. Kind, attentive, and fast without ever feeling rushed. Even during the lunch rush, the owner made sure every customer felt like a guest of honor. Saigon Express isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to savor, to remember, and to come back to time and time again. Five stars, no question. If you’re searching for a spot that delivers authentic Vietnamese cuisine with heart and soul, Saigon Express is it.
Writing a review after eating thrice here. First I had the Beef ho fun. Second the Malaysian fried rice. Third time, chicken vermicelli and the Saigon fried noodle. Absolutely spot on with the taste, the texture, the balance of the flavours. I took a risk with the Chicken Vermicelli as I thought i wouldn’t like jt - what do you know, me and my wife were blown away by it! Never thought I’d enjoy a noodle dish that looked this white (since I love everything spicy) but there was an amazing broth underneath the noodle which was lemon grassy, sweet and tangy, it was beautiful! Highly recommend this gem of a place. A lot of restaurants are inconsistent, but this one never disappoints.
