Saigon Eatery - Torrance

I had the garnelenpho, it was a little salty for my taste.

Came here because I was craving pho and this place did not disappoint. Place isn't too hard to find, just look for the weird 7-11 or the car wash that sits right across. I decided to dine-in and it was a great experience. The place is quite small, with a handful of tables inside and two-two seater tables outside. Their menu isnt too vast with some variations of Pho, Vermiccilli, some other appetizers and a few refreshing sounding drinks. I love small menus and this menu did not disappoint. Customer service was also fantastic as they were able to take out order and get us our food in such a short time. This is an order and pay first before sitting down kind of place.The food I ordered was just the special Pho and it was delicious. The only problem I had was the broth wasn't as bold as I wanted it to be. It was a little on the blander side but a few drops of fish sauce helps. I also ordered the Egg Rolls which I definitely do recommend as it comes with some lettuce and fish sauce on the side to wrap and dip with.

I tried their vermicelli with pork, its soo good. They serve it with fish sauce, peanut, and green onion.I will try with shrimp next time

This place is one of the weekly lunch spot and I often drive down to OC for pho. The pho here is good enough to save me the drive. Broth is not overly flavorful and does not appear to have MSG. Special beef pho is my favorite and the beef is always moist and tender.

The beef pho broth is very flavorful, has complexity of spices and flavors; far better than the typical salt and MSG broths.The grilled pork noodle salad bowl was excellent. I added an extra side of grilled chicken which was very disappointing dry and hard; it tastes like something precooked and reheated just prior to serving.I suggest avoiding the grilled chicken unless it is freshly made.
