Saigon Cafe is Atlanta’s premier restaurant group of Southeast Asian cuisine. Our business is founded on a simple idea: offer each customer the best possible experience in service, quality, value, and selection.
We have 5 locations across the Greater Atlanta Metro Area.
Now each location offers an authentic and delicious array of Vietnamese and Thai dishes. Lawrenceville, Decatur, Buford, Smyrna, and Woodstock have well-loved locations that cater to those specific neighborhoods.
Visit us today and enjoy the aromas and flavors of the real Southeast Asia!
Upon entering, the restaurant exudes a quiet, peaceful atmosphere with dimmed lighting that creates a relaxing ambiance. However, the abundance of bamboo trees at the front desk felt a bit overwhelming—almost like stepping into a mini bamboo forest. While it adds to the theme, it might not be the most inviting first impression for customers.
The service was a strong point right from the start. As soon as I walked in, I was promptly greeted and given attention, which is always a good sign. While browsing the menu at the counter for a to-go order, I noticed some pricing inconsistencies. When I inquired, the staff provided me with a green binder with plastic covers, which had the correct prices—still quite reasonable.
One dish I always have to order is the A2 Thit Nuong Cuon—Vietnamese spring rolls with BBQ pork wrapped in rice paper. While I also enjoy the shrimp and pork version, the BBQ pork rolls offer a meatier bite and a more robust flavor. The accompanying peanut dipping sauce, with its hoisin sauce base, pairs perfectly, especially when I mix in some garlic pepper chili paste for an extra kick.
For my main dish, I usually go with B1 Bun Tom Thit Nuong Cha Gio, which is a fantastic combination of BBQ pork, grilled shrimp, rice noodles, bean sprouts, chopped peanuts, and a pickled carrot-radish salad. The dish also comes with a small crispy spring roll and a flavorful rice wine and fish sauce mixture. I always ask for extra sauce and drizzle it over everything, along with my go-to spicy garlic chili paste—it turns into a rich, flavorful bowl of goodness.
Portion sizes are generous, and the flavors are consistently delicious. This is a great spot for family gatherings, friendly meet-ups, or even a cozy date night. With its location in a shopping center, parking is easy and conveniently close to the entrance. Overall, a solid choice for a satisfying Vietnamese meal with good service and a relaxed vibe.
Would definitely recommend!
I decided to try this place on a whim. I enjoy Vietnamese food and unfortunately I don’t have many options near me. I ordered the spring rolls and my friend got the shrimp pho. We did a pick up order. I will note that I had to ask specifically for fish sauce for the spring rolls as the menu states that they only give you the peanut sauce. We thought our food was good and would probably come back here. The amount of food you get for the price is also pretty decent.
My whole family absolutely loves this place. They are always welcoming and friendly people. The food is delicious and my kids and I love the Boba 🧋 Tea drinks. We usually go for lunch and my kids always ask when they are on break from school if we can go! Some of our favorite dishes are the sesame chicken, PHO is amazing, Bourbon chicken, chicken chow main and the spring rolls and crab rangoon and a must for an appetizer.
I love Pho soups!!! The food is tasty and hot. Good prices for such quality food. All the appetizers were delicious here. We can get different types of soups here but the only thing the broth is little watery. We have to add spices for additional flavors. This place is very neat and clean. Good customer service. We would like to try other foods next time.
we’ve came here quite a few times before, and my food tonight was great as per usual! i got the thai kung pao with chicken and it was super flavorful and juicy, plus it paired great with sriracha! the service is always great; servers are so kind and food is out as quick as possible. my fav asian cuisine in woodstock!

Good and hot and fresh
Food always good. Owner Ellen is super nice
Best Pho around
My sister and I tried this place for the first time today and we were both blown away. Staff is super friendly the crab rangoons were so delicious. We both ordered the medium shrimp pho and LOVED IT. We also ordered the veggie lo mein, delicious. There is nothing bad that I can say about this experience. We will definitely be back!!
Great vietnamese place; great service, good value.

We enjoyed our food very much!
This was our go to place until last night. The food quality has dropped significantly. Paid thai was horrible, I took couple bites and with every bite I felt sick. Day 2 and still sick. Orange chicken and Thai fried rise was bad too. Very blend, and not sure if they have started to use that fake chicken, but it was not chicken. Same with masamang curry, few pieces of chicken and rest was potatoes. The side of fried rice was white rise sauted in oil. No vegetables or eggs in it. Unfortunately this will be our last visit, very disappointed.
A nearby place was closed Monday, so I ate here for lunch. I am peskitarian so it can be hard for me to find food at resturaunts. This place had some options, and even changed a few minor things for me. It's quiet and cozy enough.
By far the worst tasting food EVER. We went this to get dinner for our first time trying. Ordered bourbon chicken with white rice and their Saigon Fried Rice combination. For starters, they told us 15 minuets before it would be ready, they walked out the back with the food in 5 minutes which should have told me something. Got home the food was super cold and smelt old. The bourbon chicken was so hard as if it had been sitting somewhere all day or from the day before. They gave us a half tray of that on top of a piece of lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. Even the white rice tasted old. The meat in the combination rice was hard and very funny tasting. The chicken was as white as this template I’m writing in and the shrimp so rubbery we couldn’t even eat it. I paid for extra eggs and got little to none. I feel like we got served old food from the back. The man who works there was just staring at us like he didn’t like us being in there. Probably why we were served old, rotten and nasty food. We will not be returning ever. This is the worst we’ve had!
Love this place. The coconut soup and sesame chicken 🤤
Amazing food! Amazing people! Fun atmosphere!
Lady manager or owner had bad attitude and make you to be sure that she does not care about good customer experience.
Pho and Tom Yum soooooo good!
It was a great experience. Good service friendly staff. And a special thanks to our waitress Amy. She was great and very friendly I highly recommend the restaurant.
We have been going here for 14 years. We love Ellen, her family, and the staff.
Wide variety of Asian cuisine. All excellent. Go for dinner. The portions are awesome. The combo panang is unbeatable! Prices are very fair. The whole family loves this place!! ❣️
amazing food and amazing service ! one of THE best places in atlanta to eat asian food, highly recommend
Good food, Good Portions, Great Service, Very Clean. I could eat here every day.
The Vietnamese menu offered a very good selection of meals. The prices are good, and the meals are a decent portion.
Pho for people who don’t know pho.
Great place to eat! Super friendly staff! The atmosphere is welcoming and very nice. We have been coming her for over 13 years, and they have never disappointed us! I would give 10 stars if I could!
Great food, Good variety. Always freshly prepared.

Excellent food & service always! Love this place.
Such good food at a fantastic value!

Great service! Delicious Vietnamese food! Clean atmosphere! You won't be disappointed!
Laden with MSG. I’ll never return.
At 11:20pm I got a notification from my Bank saying that the restautant was trying to charge me $500. Okay. You can't. Don't do it to me. I got a degree in IT.
Always a reliable spot when I'm in need of a quick meal.
LOVE this place. I am addicted to Pho but the people in my life are definitely NOT. Here I can get my Pho and whoever I’m with can get whatever else they want. It’s a win win for me!
The atmosphere could use some work though. Every noise seems amplified.
Went for Pho, but noticed a few Thai items on the menu and some common Chinese dishes. Nice looking clean restaurant too. The broth was good and so were the rest of what I got ( beef everything … i ain’t skeered) I was surprised by the XL bowl. It was like a kitchen sink! Of course I’m exaggerating but the largest I’ve seen. I ate all of it though. Price was good compared to other places. I will be going back soon.
Hands down the best in town. I go almost every Friday for as their pho is Phonomenal. The tea is also made in house daily from a mix of 3 different tea leaves and is quite refreshing (I do half sweet/half unsweet). I personally recommend doing A2 and P2. It's best when you dine in, but they package the items well for takeout or delivery with Doorddash very well which ensures that the food is still hot. The staff are very knowledgeable, restaurant clean, minimal wait times, and owner is very nice. Thank you for always such a wonderful experience!
Got take out, plenty of meat compared to the other 2 pho places we went to previous weekends. Saigon Cafe quickly turned into our new favorite! More flavor and everything tasted fresh. BIG quantity of food for the $ it’s literally great. Will be back 😊
Update 2 years later: Still our favorite spot. We eat here at least twice a month. We appreciate you guys and the hospitality.
Got the Mongolian beef and it was terrible, the brown sauce was really greasy and I'm sure that it wasn't made properly
Manager lady is very nice, she is very open to talk to you and provide for your different needs. Great variety of Asian cuisine.
They put a little more attention to detail than many pho/Asian places. From the variety of hot sauces they have, to the jasmine blend iced tea, and meat balls in the combo pho.
It feels like there is just more effort into a lot of the dishes.
Been going here for many years. It's always a good time. Great atmosphere, great food, great service! Their tea is out of this world!
Never a bad outing. Loved it
Went with a group of friends and took a person who has never tried Vietnamese/Thai with us for first experience. The food was so tasty and flavorful. We even added to go orders before we left so we could have some later. The service was amazing, and the atmosphere was perfection. If I could give more stars I would!
We have been eating at this restaurant for more than 12 years. The staff and owners are great! The service is always speedy and the food and drinks, especially the tea are AMAZING!!
Quite simply this is the best Vietnamese restaurant in Cherokee County. Great PHO, great other foods, great bubble tea, and good service. And reasonable prices.
Such good food! Service was wonderful. They were very helpful and careful in helping navigate gluten intolerance.
We tried Saigon Cafe for the first time a few days ago and we’re so pleased with dinner. The restaurant is clean and pleasing in appearance. Our waitress was friendly and we did not have to wait long for our food. Our biggest takeaway is how fresh the ingredients in our food tasted. Such a great experience! We will definitely be back.
Food was like usual really good, staff was awesome.
Great veggie Pho.
My favorite place to eat at!! I’m in love with their peanut sauce and spring rolls, they have bubble tea too!! I highly recommend them, so good
Love this place, from their delicious, authentic food, to the atmosphere… you will not be disappointed. We’ve been coming here since it opened and love to recommend it to others.
I have eaten at 30+ vietnamese restaurants in Georgia, and I can say with confidence that this one is the worst one. The pho is bland, they don't have any banh mi, and their service has gone down hill in the last 10 years. The only reason I used to eat at this place, was because I had never eaten at another vietnamese restaurant, and I thought I didn't really care for pho until I tried it anywhere else.
Primarily a takeout spot for us. My wife & daughter love the pho. I’ve ordered a ton of things from the menu, my most recent visit was generals chicken which was pretty good. The soups, apps are great.
Best boba in town
Our family goes here every Sunday for lunch. We enjoy the service and the food here. When you order, the food comes to your table very quickly. Highly recommend eating here if you are in the area.
Nice little restaurant. Prices are reasonable. Tends to get crowded, no matter which location. They have a variety of Asian food. All of it is good. My favorite is the Pho Noodle Bowl. The bowl sizes are very big, even the small bowls. This is what their good at. Other menu items are good, but not that much better than other Asian restaurants. Just know what you're ordering.
Their food is top notch and their staff is very friendly! The chicken pad Thai and basil chicken are two of my favorite dishes. I always have great experiences at Saigon!
The seating was quick. The service was great! The amount of portion for the extra large is AMAZING!!! I’ve been searching for a PHO bowl like this and it’s great! I enjoyed my meal with my husband. It’s worth every penny! They even got us our shrimp rolls without pork!
THE BEST 👍🏻
The Pho broth is bland - absolutely no flavor at all but this restaurant is the closest to me so unfortunately I come here for convenience not taste.
Love the amazing service and food here, our favorite pho place!!
Delicious and authentic food in a friendly atmosphere with wonderful servers.
In general, this restaurant is a great option for very good food with great service in a lovely and clean dining atmosphere. The food was very delicious and flavorful at reasonable prices. Staff was helpful and friendly. Service was efficient. A lot of parking is available in the parking lot.
My favorite place in woodstock.
Super friendly.
Great food at great prices. You get a lot for your money and its really good
Everyone is so friendly and the food is great!
Food was not tasty or authentic, below average. Ambience was good.
The food was really good and the staff was very friendly. My waitress, Angie, was very kind in helping me find vegan options 😁. Would highly recommend this spot!
Singapore rice noodle and Thai fried rice were good.
More variety for sodium diet menu please.
Food was delicious and hit the door after a chilly afternoon run
I’ve been coming to Siagon since I was a little girl and it is the best pho in Cherokee and Cobb county!
Love this place!
The service was excellent. Most places have young kids as servers which is fine but you know how kids could at times be non caring lol. This kid was clearly young however is manners and service was beyond great. The food was fresh and delicious! We will be returning for sure.
Excellent service food is fresh and delicious and comes right out no waiting
Great staff and great food. Been eating here for years. They're the best.
Great restaurant, Friendly Staff, Good Thai food I tried the Massaman Curry very good! I have been with my family there several time we like it!
The quality of food is exceptional and the portions are LARGE. Love going here for their delicious pho and the sesame chicken is outstanding. I am also in love with their hot jasmine green tea. The prices fit appropriately for the quality and amount of food you receive. You will not be disappointed.
I have dined in many times and I have never felt disappointed. The food is tasty and the service is great.
My favorite pho this side of town!!
Furthest thing from authentic, waste of time and bland boring food with completely wrong flavors. No sign of thai chili in the thom ka, instead jalapeños... They said they don't have the peanut sauce that usually comes with spring rolls, instead they give some bbq type sauce. Never had such out of touch vietnamese or Thai food, this place used to be halfway decent but that was a decade ago.
Group of eleven. Service was very bad. They had an attitude and than they include the 20% tip in your bill.
Amazing food. Amazing customer service
Bland and does not taste authentic
This is my absolute favorite pho place to go to. I drive 20+ minutes just to eat here. The few times I have explored the menu a bit from my favorite P5, everything has always been insanely delicious. Even if you're not feeling pho, I guarantee you'll find something else that's great. Their appetizer rolls and chicken are amazing, curry is great, everything. Oh their boba is great, too. Wish they had another location right next to my house because I would be there an unhealthy amount probably lol.
I have been going here for over 2 years the Tai Boba bubble tea is the best both taste and price wise ! And if you haven't tried the combo luc lak with a fried egg your missing out
This place is absolutely fabulous! The food was delicious and priced well. The service was great! I will not be looking anywhere else when I'm wanting good Vietnamese food, this is the best I've had in this area so far. I have tried a couple other places in the Acworth/Woodstock area and I'll be sticking with Saigon Cafe from now on!
DO NOT order the cheese puffs. Filling was EXTREMELY thin and no crab flavor even though it was advertised as crab meat. It's quite ridiculous.
My main entree was bad. I ordered a mixed vegetable dish with extra broccoli. It came to me with ALL broccoli, 1/2 babycorn and a slice of a carrot.
Food was horrible.
The only thing good was the service
Delicious fresh and healthy options. Incredible Pho soups with plenty of fresh add-ins/'toppings' included. Numerous Thai options that are varied and all good. Large portions usually allow for a dinner and subsequent lunch portion. Take out meals are well packed and have always been accurate.
Great service and to go order was perfect
Love the Pho! 🧡
The warm fragrance alone is comfort food. Then the meals are prepared and served by great people. I'm a regular.
Food was okay tasted like every other Asian restaurant. Staff was friendly.
We have been eating here for 12 years now. That says a lot. Food quality is excellent and the owner is so sweet.
Shout out to our server Ken for being super friendly, fast, and on top of things. We need more people like Ken! 😊
Both service and food are excellent 👍
So the Pho here was awesome. I was impressed with the great tasting not overly salted broth and have never had a bowl with so much tender beef. So now this will be my new go to for Vietnamese.
I’ve heard good things about this place. However, I had an order placed a day ago. I was trying to get it delivered to a friend (who was very sick at home and had not been out of the house for few days.. and it was her birthday!) I made quite a large order. It was through Ubereats.
I was told it was confirmed and would be delivered around lunchtime. About 20 min before delivery time- I get a message from Saigon that they have cancelled my order- and cannot fulfill it. No explanation. No reason.
I was very disappointed. My friend was also very disappointed- she was looking forward to some hot Pho.
Hopefully they don’t do this often to people. I don’t like to leave bad reviews but it was unfortunate that this happened.
The pho broth could use more flavor.
Worth going in and sitting down.
Great soup! Friendly staff. Fair prices!
My fiancé and I got a the orange chicken and it was very bland. Not as sweet or giving the orange taste, the fried rice looks like yellow rice it’s definitely not fried rice. I probably won’t come here again I don’t want to waste more money on another meal I probably won’t like that. I’m pretty sure this is a good place for other people it’s just not for me. I don’t feel like it’s authentic but hey it’s my opinion if you like it then enjoy it has good reviews besides this one lol.
Great food
Great place better then the other locations hands down. Helen has this place running top Notch. The other locations are sub par compared to this. This might as well be it's own restaurant. It's always so clean and food is fresh as always.
I've been to this Saigon Cafe twice in the last six months, once for take out and most recently for dine in. Had Chicken Pho both times. I try to give a restaurant two chances in case one time is just a bad day. The Chicken Pho was disappointing both times - the broth tasted like dishwater and the chicken white meat was rubbery and over cooked. The garnishes were skimpy both times. The person with me had the Orange Chicken which was also disappointing in taste and texture. I noticed the Sriracha on the table was really runny - looked like it had been watered down to make it last longer. Upon checkout with a credit card, they use an app that makes you give them a minimum 18% tip, whether they deserve it or not. The two stars was for the service which was OK. I won't be back.
This place is delicious! Seriously yummy! The Vietnamese food is good of course, but so is the Thai food! Must try and I will definitely return.
10/10 soooo good
This is one of mine and my daughter's favorite spots. We eat here alot. She always gets the kids' Pho. I like to change things up and never had anything bad here.
I've been going to this location for maybe 15 years and the quality hasn't changed. I've tried everything on the menu but I only ever get the Pho. The service is phenomenal. The entire staff works as a team to ensure all of the tables are covered. Do yourself a favor and go here at least once. It's worth it every time.
Favorite Pho, been going here for years and years!
Had lunch there for the first time today. Best Pho in GA as we continue our quest for the best Pho in the state. Broth was flavorful and had an ample amount of beef and rice noodles. Came with all the extra "adds". Service was outstanding. Our server was excellent in all aspects of her job including pointing what the kitchen could make for my GF wife. Even the cashier noticed my iced tea was low and got me a refill with a smile. Total team effort- can't wait to go back and try some of the other Thai dishes.
Of the handful of pho places in Northeast Cobb, Cherokee, and North Fulton area, they're the best.
Good food and nice portions
We moved to Woodstock from Buford Highway and were really worried we wouldn’t have Thai or Vietnamese options here. We are SO thankful we found Saigon Cafe! The food is fantastic. We can’t recommend it enough!
Got an excellent Pho soup which is the best I have had to date.
My wife ordered the coconut soup which the whole family really enjoyed.
Besides the wonderful food I was very happy that the order was accurate and complete, something we had not received in either take out or delivery service over the last 6 months.
Kudos to the Chef and staff of the Saigon Cafe
Love their thai bubble tea! Num tok also delicious. Very nice owner 😁 The other vietnamese/thai food is not very authentic though.
This is the ONLY place you need to go to for Asian food. It is AMAZING!!! Please try the Spicy Basil tofu with extra chicken. Yuuuuuuuummmmm.
Great place for pho in Kennesaw/Woodstock area. Has family atmosphere. Clean restaurant. Excellent food. My favorite dishes are the Pho and Masaman Curry.
Definitely a frequent go to for me. I was so thankful they were able to reopen their dining room, but I have also never had a problem with to go orders or delivery from here.
Got takeout pho and meat was packaged with noodles, so it was a mess when I got home. I realize the intention is to cook the noodles, but in order to cook the noodles with meat juice to a safe temp, it made the broth very thick. It was still delicious and we will be back, but I will specify that the meat is packaged separately.
