Seriously one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I love bahn mi and this was perfect. I got the lemongrass pork and it’s so flavorful and tender. Really nice amount of carrots, cilantro and cucumber. Would highly recommend this sandwich!
Also to owners—would love a lemongrass tofu sandwich if you ever consider adding a vegetarian option!

Best banh mi in New York. This is a neighborhood joint dedicated to take out and delivery, it has seats but it’s not a place for dining in. I recommend tourists and out-of-neighborhood customers to take your meal to Central Park, and enjoy the view from Great Hill.

The best Banh Mi I've ever had in the US and honestly maybe better than any I had in Vietnam. Truly amazing place and I hope they open back up soon.

The Bahn Mi was so good. They do not skimp out on the meat, very good portions. The pork is so juicy, tender, and perfectly grilled. The fresh vegetables add a nice crunch to the Bahn Mi and the nice toasty bread wraps everything up together.

Saigutte has ok food, ok service, ok ambience, and the atmosphere is not that great. The sticky rice has a good taste, but the aftertaste is not great. The steak they sell is ok. The service is ok, they get their job done. They lack much atmosphere, so I shan't say anything about it. Saiguette is a take-out restaurant, therefore don't expect getting a seat. The seats that are there are nice, and clean. It has a good selection of drinks, and a big Menu. Saiguette is overall an ok restaurant.

Love the Pho. Great for take out, or staying in if you do not mind eating at the counter. The place is small but the food is very tasty. Friendly staff, wish they would be open early in the morning, so people can come in for the breakfast, like they do in Vietnam.

The food is always excellent. A bit over-priced with minimal seating options. But if you want some great food to take out I recommend it hands down.

Most of the so-called vegetarian food containes fish sauce. Most of what we could eat however was too greasy with the exception of the dumplings.

Best Bahn Mi sandwiches I've ever had. Yes that includes Vietnam (probably down to quality of the ingredients). Great spot for a quick bite if you're in the vacinity. Their phos are average. Check out my Instagram @SGgluttony for more good eats

No other vietnamese options anymore in the neighborhood so i guess they are as good as it gets around here.but thats not saying much

This place is not overrated, it’s underrated! Food gets 6 stars.ok it’s small and not in anyway fancy. If decor is what you are eating then it’s not for you, if great food is your thing then this is a must!

I have had the Bahn Mi before and they are great but today I tried the Pho Nam Vang - pork, squid, shrimp and fish cake in a broth that has so many flavors I can only describe it as Fk Yeah broth!

EAT HERE.but don’t take a snobby date or a picky eater.

A quick takeout spot. I had the grilled chicken thigh sandwich which was pretty good. The meat was juicy and not dry like most typical Banh Mi shops.

I was very skeptical of the taste as it's a Chinese shop making Vietnamese food. To my surprise, it's close to spot on to what I had in Vietnam.

Worth a try if you're in the area

Set up as a take-out/delivery restaurant; we made the mistake of trying to eat there and were fortunate enough to snipe two high-table seats as another couple were finishing. There are five seats total (all high table). My bun was up to standard, and came with quite a generous portion of lemongrass pork shoulder. For dessert we tried the sticky rice with jack fruit and coconut milk wrapped in banana leaves, akin to a sweet Chinese rice dumpling.

Delicious classic banh mi, spicy pho noodle soup, crispy spring rolls, and shrimp/chives dumplings. Yum! Fast and clean service. Good portions for family style or takeout. Must try!

I Choose This Place Because Of The Reviews Hoping I Would Receive The Same Experience But Unfortunately I Didnt. Im Gonna Assume They Have Their Hit & Miss Days. I Did Not Enjoy The Pho At All, It Was Extremely Bland & Flavorless. No Matter How Much I Tried to Spruce It Up. It Just Wasn't Cutting It. I Gave Them 3 Stars Because I Was Pleased With The Service.

Best Vietnamese food around. Frankly everything is good but I’m totally in love with the roast pork banh mi sandwich

Good, tasty food but not many vegetarian options, my friends enjoyed the non-vegetarian food though! I'm sure it deserves a better rating, but I really wished they more tofu/vegetarian options.

Ordered a bahn mi with skirt steak. Very flavorful meat, crunchy veg and crusty bread. Hard to beat. Will be back to try the pho. There is only 5 seats in this place so if you go there in person expect to take out.

Love there roast pork sandwiche. Tons of flavor and texture with each bite. I tried the lemon grass one and was disappointed because I barely tasted lemon grass. It was still tasty, but I was expecting that bright pop from the lemon grass. The over coffee is pretty good as well if you like it strong.

Stunning Vietnamese food, great for both private orders and large-scale catering. The ladies who run it are friendly and efficient. I'd recommend the skirt steak or the chicken fillet; the dumplings are great too. There's not much space to sit in, but it's a small place so it's understandable!
