Miss Saigon Cafe II

Nice, quiet and pleasant. The food is wonderful, and the different sauces are mind-​boggling. We were taken by friends, and I’m so glad. It’s better than Chinese, because of the clean flavor, and you can pick and try all the sauces.

Nice little place inside. We got crab rangoon, phở and fried rice. We thought the phở had a good flavor, didn’t take too long and was reasonably priced. I’d go back for sure.

This place is great! Crab rangoons are so good and their vegetarian phở has tons of veggies. Definitely worth trying.

Delicious food. Friendly service. I’m a frequent take-​out guest. I suggest giving it a try if you haven’t yet.

This place is okay if you need phở on a rainy day. The phở is nothing to call home about but it will satisfy a phở craving. I normally order it to go here and there is no problems with packing it up.

Love this place! Staff is so friendly and the food is great. I love the shaken beef, chicken phở, shrimp spring rolls, and jasmine iced tea. They are very accommodating and will bring out anything extra you need. Just wish I lived closer.

I had the meatball phở and it was very delicious. However I ordered a green tea smoothie with boba and the boba was very hard, impossible to chew on. The spring roll wrap was also very hard, felt like I was trying to chew off plastic. The staff however is very friendly and the atmosphere here is nice.

I am giving 4 stars for my most recent visit for a variety of reasons: A good sized group of us went in about 8PM, Tues and they were able to handle us easily. The service was very friendly. I ordered the shredded pork spring rolls, and they were good, but I would have prefered peanut sauce with them instead of the fish sauce. It was good, I just feel that the peanut would have been better. The lemon grass beef on vermacelli was delicious, also, but there really wasn’t enough beef for all those noodles. I just had this dish at anouther resturant and liked there version better. Over all, it was a nice time and I will go back. There are so many things to try on the menu, it may just be a matter of finding what I like the best. We loved the large salt water aquarium and friendly atmosphere.

Our experience with this place was terrible.
1) The waitress took a long time to bring us our waters and take our order.
2) The food came out with a long string of hair on my wife’s dish, then took over 10 minutes for them to bring the food back out.
3) With only 3 people in the restaurant, we were still at the restaurant for almost a full hour.
While I am generally empathetic towards bad experiences (we all have our bad days), this unacceptable standard seems to be common based on other recent reviews as well. The waitress should check on her customers more rather than avoid them.

Service was very slow. Food was tasteless. Do not recommend. Beef teriyaki very dry. Vermicelli bowl taste less.

VERY DIRTY STICKY DINING ROOM FLOOR! (our soles of our shoes peeled off at every step to the table, need a good degreaser, and plain soap… i mean it is a restaurant?) So having personally worked in restaurant kitchens, if your not cleaning kitchen floors at night after a shift. its tracked into main dining room. This is not good.
We went for a birthday last night. Had good intentions, never been. I am always «leary» of asian restaurants on the westside, they tend to make menu geared towads the white folks. like putting sandwiches on this menu, lol. Belknap ave district is where the true Thai Viet or Indochina restaurants rule but I tried it. The chefs/​cooks were mexican which I prefer a true Viet cooks. Just my preference, there is more art and passion of flavors I feel… and taste. Dishes were okay. each spring roll were different size and shape… bland. Like my PHO noodle bowl, lots of meat but none of the traditional side basil, sprouts, lime?.
Were last table, we are finished, 10 minutes to close and understand totally. I had mentioned it was birthday for a gal at the table to the pretty young Vietnamese gal, (manager?). I said: «What do yall do»? she said nothing. like looking at her watch.“Not even a candle to put in a dessert?”…No. …um. okay.“do you have desserts”? Threw one menu in front of me… i thought piss on this place.
They REALLY wanted us to go to close up. we e got check, paid and its maybe 8 minutes after close. left. stood out front, hugs, goodbyes.5 minutes the two gals walk out DONE. No stocking no cleaning and especially no washed floors, lol. I guess I will know better to stick with «my belknap» restaurants.

Great food and they treat you like you are king! By the way our starting waitress was a sweatheart!!!

Great phở and appetizers. I’m originally from California which makes me a great phở critic and I thought this place was excellent. The service was good and the restaurant was very clean and upscale.

My simple request is for a place that can taste like home. A touch of something that could remind me of my mom’s cooking. I definitely did not find that here. Mediocre food for average pricing. Springrolls were bland and sad looking due to the fact that it consisted of withered lettuce, rice noodles and tough grilled chicken. I had the combo phở with extra brisket. I got plenty for the price I paid but quality wise, it was a very big disappointment. The meat was tough and tasted freezer burnt. The broth was dull and lacked any interest of the true Vietnamese authenticity. Food wise, it was a big disappointment. Service was a plus though since I came in approximately 30 mins after they opened. I got my order in and food out in very good timing. Décor was nice and intriguing. Overall, I would rather drive the extra 15 mins to Haltom city than to dine here again.

Disappointing. Service was poor and slow, despite there only being a total of three tables, totaling 4 guests in all. I ordered the combo phở, which is typically quick to arrive at other places. Here however, I waited 25 minutes. The broth smelled heavily of fish sauce and was on the bland side. The cilantro served on the side wasn’t fresh and there was no basil (they were out). I would not recommend this place at all.

Good Phở. The Spring rolls are fresh. Their Spicy beef tomato phở is very good. The tomato broth is pleasant, smooth and flavorful without being too acidic. It’s spicy, but I add chili sauce. Of course the bean sprouts, cilantro, basil, and jalapeños are served fresh on the side as is traditional to phở. The ambience is quiet with light piano music playing. The water feature near the front door adds some character to the simple décor. This is a good place for a nice quiet lunch. The menu has plenty of vegetarian options.

It’s nice and clean inside, but also overpriced. The grilled chicken fresh rolls were exceptionally good, but expensive for a very small order of two for 3.50.
They only offer one size of Phở and it costs 8.00 a bowl unless you buy a kid size for 4.50.
This would be fine if the Phở was exceptional and I weighed 250 pounds, but that is not the case.
I ordered s kid size to go, and part of the meat was raw. This normally would piss me off, but the broth was so bland that I had to take it home to spice it up anyway!
They also did not include ANY bean sprouts, lime, basil, OR jalepenos. Who in their right mind serves Phở like that? It is just WRONG, I tell you!
I did see that there was a wonderful looking noodle bowl that had just been placed on a table nearby, so I may come back and buy one of those if I want to eat in and I feel like blowing 8.00 to 10.00
If they can cut their prices, offer different bowl sizes, and make the Phở more authentic, I think Miss Saigon ll would be much better off.

FOOD– C
SERVICE– C+
AMBIENCE– B
Food– Food is fair. The broth is a bit clear for phở. It lacks some flavor.
Service– The service here can be a hit or miss. I first started dining here in February 2014. They had a different wait staff. There was a very socially awkward waiter, but I haven’t recently seen him.
Management– Management changed in May, I think. They changed the décor, and now it looks nicer than before. The management here does seem a bit unorganized and flustered.
Prices– The prices, however, have changed. A thai tea was $ 4+, which is expensive. Their phở and spring rolls are average priced in comparison to other phở restaurants in the area.
I probably won’t return to Miss Saigon II due to the inconsistency of food and service. If you are willing on driving 20 – 30 minutes, there are much better phở restaurants in Arlington.

I’ve come accustomed to the hole-​in-​the wall phở spots where everything is deliciously dirt cheap. This place is not like that — maybe they cater to the Camp Bowie crowd? And not the crowd that goes to Zekes or Galligaskins! I came in and got a to-​go order since I was picking something up from TSO Optical next door. I ordered the A1: Shrimp Spring Rolls and the F1: French Baguette Sandwich. I’m used to the medium shrimp in my spring rolls so I was very disappointed to see three sad minuscule shrimp wrapped up with some wilted lettuce. I was also expecting a banh mi sandwich — the F1 was far from it. There were NO PICKLED VEGETABLES, no fresh sliced jalapeño and no cilantro! It was grilled pork with lettuce, tomato and avocado. Two of the most simplest Vietnamese dishes were too far from being authentic… I won’t be coming back.

AMBIANCE: B+
FOOD:
Over the years I’ve eaten at scores of authentic Vietnamese restaurants on the east side of downtown Ft. Worth. While Miss Saigon is welcome site to the Camp Bowie area, it doesn’t quite stack up to «the real deal» Vietnamese I’ve come to love and enjoy elsewhere.
The Phở: The broth was good but a bit too salty. Perfect phở has delicate sweetness that was lacking in this version.
Pork sandwich: I was hoping for the classic Bön Mi. What I got was a decent sandwich but reminded little of any Bön Mi’s I’ve had elsewhere. Topped with lettuce, tomato, and avocado this sandwich is clearly targeting the standard American palate.
Vermicelli Noodle Bowl (with pork): Clearly the best dish we had. The elements and flavors of this dish were spot on classic Vietnamese. Recommended (see photo).
Spring rolls: A bit underwhelming as they were small in size and really tough to bite through and very chewy. The peanut sauce was good, but this simple appetizer can be done much better with a little more tender loving care.
SERVICE:
Orders are placed at the counter and the food is brought out by servers. Our severs were very attentive in spite of this not being a full service restaurant.
AMBIANCE:
The dining room is clean and nicely decorated. No issues here.
Fort Worth and the surrounding areas are starting to see more Asian restaurants moving into the «mainstream» eating areas. More often than not, I am seeing dumbed down menus, much higher prices, and a departure from the authenticity of the restaurants found in the Asian communities. Unfortunately Miss Saigon is no exception to this.

If campisi’s is too crowded come over here for a clean friendly spot with fresh, well prepared Vietnamese food.
