Saigon Pho Wairau Valley

My friend and I had dinner at this restaurant, where we enjoyed Banh Mi and Bun Bo Hue. As a Vietnamese person, I highly recommend this place to anyone who wanna try authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Additionally, the service was excellent, and the staff greeted us with warm smiles.

Delicious aroma of pho broth with ample amounts of meat and noodles. Beef was rare and the brisket and balls just completed the overall dish. Service was excellent and very prompt. Very clean surroundings and easy parking. One of the best I have had in Auckland.

Saigon Pho is a Vietnamese restaurant specialised in Pho I suppose. I ordered their Beef Pho ($22). Ordering + Wait at the entrance, staff will seat you. You get to choose your seat. + Check the menu. When you are ready ring the bell (button on the table). + Pay at the counter after your meal. Picking your autistic seat + Check my photo for the layout. Water & Napkins + They both on your table. Nice . Food - 9/10 + After two weeks’ searching, finally we find our winner . Though not the best one in my life, this one has no weaknesses. + It’s delicious with variety of ingredients. + Self-service condiments. Sriracha, hoisin and more! Service - 9/10 Overall I will give this restaurant 5 stars .

I was excited to try Saigon Pho after hearing great things about it! The menu is simple and has all the classics. We each got a bowl of noodles—the grilled lemongrass pork noodle soup and the Vietnamese beef stew noodle soup. While I’ve been to places with cheaper dishes, the portions here were quite nice. The broth was decent, and it was easy to adjust the flavor with the free chili and sauces available. They also have some great drinks—the sugarcane juice was refreshing and not too sweet, while the mango smoothie was a real treat (definitely my favorite!). The restaurant was very clean, and the staff were quick with both service and getting the food out, which was impressive considering how busy it was when we arrived. Overall, it’s a good bang for your buck, and I’d recommend trying it out if you're a big fan of Vietnamese food!

One of my new favourite and go to Vietnamese restaurant! Efficient and friendly staff with quick service delivering my food within 10 minutes, the restaurant itself had a beautiful interior with a comforting vibe. The food itself was mind blowing bringing me back to Vietnam itself, I got the grilled lemongrass pork on rice, spicy beef noodle, and signature beef pho. The food was really well seasoned with massive amount of portions with every dish making the price reasonable. Definitely a go to spot if you’re ever craving authentic delicious Vietnamese cuisine.

Very nice comfortable restaurant,the staff are friendly and nice. recommend you try this place great food & atmosphere. Located on wairau Park. Parking close by.

Right when we walked in, they quickly got us seated. The place is decked out with fake plants, lanterns, and fans, which gives it a cool, charming vibe. It’s got two floors, but the upper one only opens when it’s packed. We snagged a table by the window, which was a nice touch. The tables are spaced out well, so it never felt cramped, even with a bunch of kids running around. You order food by ringing a bell, and someone shows up fast with a device to take your order—simple and kind of fun. One quirky thing: you have to grab your drinks from a self-serve counter. If they’re bringing food to the table, why not the drinks too? We got the beef pho, lemongrass chicken with rice, lemongrass pork entrée, an iced peach tea, and a Vietnamese coffee. The chicken was outstanding—bursting with unique flavor and vibrant color. The pork was just as delicious, practically melting in your mouth, with pickled cabbage and carrots that paired perfectly. The pho was decent but not the best I’ve had (big props to Little Miss Saigon in Birkenhead). If I’m nearby, I’d think before swinging by again.
