I've visited every Pho restaurant in the area, and this one stands out as the best. If you're nearby Dublin or Pleasanton, I highly recommend making the drive to Livermore for Pho, it's definitely worth the trip. While many places offer greasy or reheated broth, this one always serves up fresh and delicious flavors. And the peanut sauce for their spring rolls is the best I've ever tasted. This place has become my ultimate go-to for Pho!

This is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in all of the Bay Area, amazing value, generous portions, delicious taste. Perfect little no frills hole in the wall. Clear soup accompanying the chicken rice dish- 5/5 I don't know what it was but I could get drink this all day everyday. Probably great for weight loss! Lemongrass chicken- 4/5 slightly powerful lemongrass flavor Curry chicken- 4.5/5 yummy, slightly sweet Chicken pho- 4.5/5 yummy Beef pho- 4.5/5 yummy The rice items come with salad and a yellow ginger dressing which can make any veggie delicious. They should sell it by the bottle. Want to return to try all the other items!

3 words. Spicy. Veggie. Soup. 10/10 good for the soul Located downtown livermore. Indoor seating. Very relaxing environment and good vibes. Hot good and fast! Kind staff.

This place was an unexpected delight. Beef cubes with French rice was highly recommended so we tried it. It was delicious. Will be coming back to try the other dishes.

If you live in Dublin or Pleasanton make to drive to Livermore to get your Pho here. . I've been to every Pho place around and this is the one. Some places have that oily broth from the day before and if you got hangover you need that fresh batch to get you back to Square one. lot of places, Mr. Mark on the peanut sauce too, but this place has the best peanut sauce for your spring rolls. - Johanna V door dash

There's nothing better than getting rice plates at pho spots! We ordered the grilled pork chop plate and sautéed shrimp plate at Saigon Cafe which is nestled in downtown Livermore. Both plates came with beef broth so that's a plus since I love having soup with my rice plate! Saigon cafe has lots of seating and the service was fine. Actually at first I think the lady forgot about us and didn't give us any menus but that's alright as the food made up for it! I would definitely come back to try their other dishes.

Loved, loved, loved the Bahn Xeo Chay! It's packed with sprouts and tofu. Too often (most places I order this from) it's soggy or too thin and falls apart. This one is perfect! Incredibly large menu for the vegetarians :) Interior of the restaurant needs some TLC and deep cleaning (this the deduct of 1 star). Service was quick. Prices are moderate-high. Parking easily accessible any where downtown.

Bay Area pho snob here. Saigon Cafe took us by surprise because one would never suspect to find a good pho restaurant in downtown Livermore. We both had the Pho Dac Biet which is described on the menu as '#15. Rare Steak, Brisket, Tendon, & Tripe' -- and I made it a combo for another $3 which came with an order of Shrimp Rolls and a soda of my choice. That's a steal and a deal. The broth was clear and very well seasoned. Not too sweet or salty -- just simmered with the right aromatics and beef bones for extra packed flavors. I did taste a slight hint of MSG but that can be common at Pho restaurants. The noodles were not overly cooked and still had a nice bounce in texture. We were surprised by how much meat was piled into each bowl. It was so filling (and I'm not a big meat eater by default) that I packed a lot of the meat leftover from our bowls to take home to my furry kid. Inside was spacious and could accommodate groups of almost all sizes. I'm willing to bet that the chefs are from San Jose. I'm a bit biased but I know the best cooks for Pho live or work in SJ :) Impressed all around for food, service, and prices. Bravo!

Came for lunch on a Monday afternoon and we got to sit anywhere we want! We got a regular and large pho dac biet and we were pleasantly surprised! First of all, the portions are HUGE!! We've never gotten a bowl of pho that was so big! They're also very generous with the meats! Reasonably priced. Ive noticed other pho restaurants around the area only have sriracha and hoisin, but Saigon Cafe has sriracha, hoisin, AND chili oil!! I like making my pho spicy so i was happy they had chili oil here! You can also order nuoc beo which my bf loved because not many places know what it is. It makes the pho more rich and flavorful!!! Would definitely come back because this place meets all of the requirements that we typically look for when we go out to eat pho. Come eat here!! You won't regret it!
