Saigon Kitchen

Saturday, 1/20/2024 - Ate at Saigon Kitchen. Address is 1111 Story Rd, Ste 1005, San Jose, CA 95109 (East San Jose). It's located in the Asian plaza. There a little mall here. Plenty of free parking. Pros 1) nice staffs 2) has table covers. Clean. 3) they provide each of us two paper napkins. 4) foods are good. We got the medium fried catfish spring roll dish for $60. The escargot soup dish for $22. Kids pho for $14. Tea for 4 people for $10.00. 5) clean bathroom. 6) there's a fireplace in the middle of restaurant. 7) they were very quick to process our tab when we got to the cashier counter. Cons 1) our waiter never check in on us. Several times we needed extra items and had to keep looking for a server. Any server. We needed the condiment for the pho, there was none on the table. We needed an extra plate to eat the cat fish, we had to look for a server for help. 2) they only provided a little cup with Sriracha sauce and oyster sauce. That was it. 3) after we ate, they never brought the tab to us. We had to look for someone to ask for it. 4) we had to ask someone for a to-go box to box our cat fish and sides home. Conclusion Fried cat fish was good. I like the spring roll items and sauce that goes with it. Escargot soupy dish was good. But.... they don't check in on you. At all. You have to look for the server if you need anything. They don't have any pho condiments like how we're use to in Sacramento and Fresno. This place was just okay. Meh. But good. Not bad.

Làm ơn bỏ món bún đậu mắm tôm ra khỏi menu. Thịt thì khô, lạnh, cắt quá dầy và hôi. Bún khô và lạnh luôn. Đậu hũ thì lấy đậu hũ non chiên??? Và bỏ chạo tôm và đậu phộng là ra món bún đậu mắm tôm???????? Cái mắm tôm cũng lạnh ngắt và đặc sệt. Làm ơn nếu bán thì bán cho đàng hoàng; còn không thì tập trung những món khác. Service khá ok, hiền.

Món cá nướng và mỡ chài rất ngon Phục vụ nhanh vả tận tình

Heard their catfish was supreme, so that was our main reason for coming. Well, it was just ok. Needs more seasoning/salt. It’s beautiful though. However, two other dishes were very good. The first was a fried tofu appetizer. Perfectly fried with slightly crispy outside and soft inside. And yummy. The other is the garlic noodles with cubed beef. A little sweeter than I prefer but mouth watering. The crab and lobster fried rice was so so.

Nice when craving Thai food, though the menus are a bit overwhelming with selections!
