Super delicious, great staff, the food was hot & fresh and it’s not expensive. They give you enough food to pack up some extra to take home for later or lunch tomorrow I will definitely make the trip to come here again :D

I’ve been here 3 or 4 times. The dishes are ok. I’m not a fan of their phở but the bun is ok.

One of the best Phở I’ve been to! Love it. Soup’s delicious and people are very nice. And it’s clean as well! Price is very reasonable so is the quantity! Highly recommend it!

Might have been a little harsh on the local phở hole. I guess I should’ve known better then to order the chefs special at a Vietnamese restaurant. Since then I haven’t had a bad experience so I decided to update it. I think I’m still bitter that my favourite place Phở Tien Giang closed. Does anyone know any place that puts peanut chunks in there sate sauce? Not the same without it

My girlfriend and I were excited to try out this local Vietnamese restaurant. I don’t think we’ll be back though. Granted the place was relatively full when we got there, but the service was just plain bad. It took a while for us to be able to order our food, then when we got it(it wasn’t served by our waiter) we never saw someone again until we were ready to pay for our meal… no extra drinks for us. Not just the service was poor though, I am a man who truly enjoys phở, but this restaurant had some of the blandest phở I’ve ever eaten, if I ever get dragged back here you can bet I won’t be ordering the phở again!

Awesome. So awesome! There is something magical and special about the vietnamese coffee here. It is delicious. Try it. We started with the shrimp tempura which had a fantastic sauce with it. My husband got the satay lobster noodle soup. Rich, dark flavorful broth and lots of lobster. Really good for under $ 20. ! I got the vermicelli with shrimp, beef and chicken. Often vermicelli can be bland and bleh, but this one was so tasty! Even the bites without meat were full of flavor, and a little spicy. Really stood out from the regular bland vermicelli. Super cute restaraunt with lots of space, and lovely servers. Will come here again. *update* the curry seafood soup is also incredible

Saigon Maxim is by far, my favorite Vietnamese in the city. Service is excellent and super fast, even when it’s a full house. The restaurant itself is nice, super clean and easy to get to. Try the Curry Noodle Soup(tofu vegetable, beef, chicken or seafood) and I swear, you will have dreams about it. It’s a hard dish to find and when you do find it, it’s never done this well. Standard large Vietnamese portions, amazing prices and always fresh!

Delicious. My wife and I hit up Vietnamese in most of the cities we travel to, and this one was top notch. Great décor, prompt service and great value. Our entire meal including tip was less expensive than the shitty theatre snacks we had earlier in the day. A welcome addition to the Riverbend neighborhood.

I have an addiction to Vietnamese Food however I am a picky eater so I only ever went to 1 Vietnamese restaurant but since I live in Riverbend I decided to try Saigon Maxim and it’s unreal. I usually call ahead of time to get it to go and they say 10 minutes and when I get there it is ready. When I do order in the food comes out super fast, the service isn’t awesome but no complaints.

Saigon Maxim is my new favourite for great Vietnamese! The service is excellent, the phở is extremely good, and if the packed tables at lunchtime are any indication, I’m not the only one who thinks so. While it can be a little on the noisy side at lunch, if one comes in after 1PM, it’s just fine. Kudos to the owners for saving a oft-changed space from obscurity and changing it into a great place to have good food at a decent price.

Friendly service. Bright clean décor. Offers noodle soups, dry noodles, rice dishes, even Viet subs. Good portions, good taste.
