Saigon 2

Always a great place to get soup. It was amazing egg noodle soup so it’s gluten free! They have great food and avocado shake that taste amazing. I love going there when I feel sick and there soup makes me feel so much better!

Best place for Spring Rolls with peanut sauce… I also love the crispy vermicelli with sea food… I’m so happy this is in Rio Rancho!!! Yay! Go eat here you will be happy you did.

We have tried a few Vietnamese place around the area and this one is our favorite. The food is full of flavor and well proportioned.

Everything seems fresh and tastes good. We had the #11 which is just the basic beef phở and the #27 which is a spicier phở. They were both quick and good.
The place seems clean and the service is good. The average price seemed to be around $ 10 per person. If you like phở and are in Rio Rancho you should go here.

This has become my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in ABQ. The fried egg rolls are divine, and although they are served with six of them, I can eat a whole order myself. The grilled pork in the dishes is always so good and has that wonderful charred citrus flavor that the Vietnamese seem to do so well. I always get the pork with rice noodles, but their phở is very good as well. The servers are always friendly and prompt with refills and the food always comes out very quickly. And the older lady that calls every customer «honey» just warms my heart every time I come here.

Really loved this place until I got food poisoning. I had the pork rice vermicelli bowl. I will not be returning. My sister in law said she also got food poisoning there after having phở.

It’s hard to believe you can get some great Vietnamese food in Albuquerque! But you can! The Phở is always good and love all the variations from beef and tripe to seafood! Perfect for a cold day in the high desert!

This is my first visit to a Vietnamese restaurant in New Mexico and I don’t see ANY reason to go anywhere else. The food is awesome and so are the people! Can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I are regulars here. The egg rolls and phở ate out staples, but all the entrees we have tried are great. Take out is always super fast easy and friendly

I read the other reviews and decided to try. I don’t know what these people are thinking. Maybe they’ve never tried phở before but this good is just plain bland. Phở 79 on Candelaria is so much better.

Picked up for dinner. We had egg rolls, beef phở and a BBQ Beef Combo plate. It was ok. Maybe I ordered wrong. Will have to try again. I loved the egg rolls!

This joints IS the best restaurant Vietnamese in ABQ. Their phở, pork chop, bun bo hue soup are fresh. Great service. You will be addicted to this place once u tried one time.

Really, really good food! My husband had the Phở and I had a combo plate. He is very particular about his phở and he said it was probably one of the best in the city. I had a combo with lemon grass chicken, and fried rice and fried prawns and steamed veggies. The fried rice is something I will dream about and crave, it was so good! And the chicken which was spicy (no indication on menu) but really really good, I mean I like a sweet and super spicy but really yummy!!! We also had spring rolls which I wasn’t too keen on, had mint and cilantro and I’m not a fan of cilantro, but my husband loved them. But again I must rave about the fried rice! It had these little bits of pork, which I will call heaven, and shrimp… It’s been 5 days and I really want to order it again! I can’t wait to go back! Friends in Rio Rancho, I highly recommend this yummy place!

Great food, reasonable prices! What I like the most about this place that it’s clean and doesn’t stink. Automatically 4 stars for that+ good food/​service!

Love this place. Great service and food every time. Just as good as any Vietnamese place I’ve ever visited.

Saigon is hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant in the Albuquerque metro area, and having a location closer to home is simply outstanding. Solid, delicious food every time delivered by friendly and accommodating staff.
The egg rolls are a must have for every visit, and my mouth waters for the rice plates with shredded pork and pork chop or lemongrass chicken (add a fried egg to your plate, you won’t be disappointed!). The phở is also outstanding, served with well-​seasoned broth and all the accompaniments you’d expect. I love to finish off my meal with an iced coffee, made fresh when you order.

First place I had phở in Albuquerque when I moved here and still one of my favorites! Their rare beef phở is on point with any in the city. I like the phở broth here more than anywhere, it’s always great and very tasty! Their spring rolls are also great, they have bean sprouts, basil, lettuce, carrots in them, with the meat of your choice, unlike some places that only have the noodles and meat. Their portions are a little bit smaller than most Vietnamese places I have been to, but the food quality is much better than most also! They also have a second location on San Mateo and I go there quite often also. I can promise, if you like Vietnamese food, you will not be disappointed by coming here, I LOVE THIS PLACE!

I have eaten at this restaurant over 100 times. The owner is awesome, the service is excellent and the food is extremely fresh and delicious.
I work nearby. About once a week for 3 years or so I have gone here on my lunch break. I typically order rare steak phở and it comes out in literally 2 or 3 minutes. It costs me $ 8 unless I splurge and get egg rolls (Which are awesome). I’m in, out, didn’t pay much and I ate a huge filling lunch that is pretty healthy compared to all the fatty deep fried foods in the area.
I recommend this place to anyone with a noodle soup craving.

Was absolutely surprised on Sunday when I made my first trip to Saigon 2. Excellent food, the best service I’ve had in quite some time, and the prices are excellent! I will be a frequent customer of this establishment. One of the best kept secrets in Rio Rancho!

Friendly, cozy atmosphere. Awesome food.
My fav is #32…pork & prawns with rice noodles, the shrimp is so tender & tastes great. The pork is tender and the flavor is wonderful. The Thai tea with boba is delicious also. Can’t wait to go again tonight. I usually get 2 of everything because my co-​workers love it too.

Delicious — Delicious — clean restaurant — great customer service — clean bathrooms — tables, glassware, silverware, and menus spotless.

Saigon 2 Restaurant serves good, solid Vietnamese food. Tonight, I ordered the tasty Phò Bò, which comes with rice noodles, tender sliced beef steak, beef tendon, and the usual assortment of add-​ins, like bean sprouts, cilantro, sliced jalapenos, and Thai basil. I can’t recall if there was fresh mint or not, but if not, it wasn’t missed. The broth, which was pork-​based, was thin but tasty — not too spicy even with the added jalapenos.
The best part about Phò is the low price. Our total (two people) was only about $ 15. Whatadeal. The ambiance was pleasant, and out waiter was friendly and attentive.
Would I go out of my way to dine here? Probably. It is easy to get Phò, but hard to get really good Phò.

This Place has the best Phở I’ve ever had… Everything is so fresh and the table side service is impeccable. If you are new to Phở this is the place for you…
I also had egg rolls (6) for 8 bucks, which the waiter showed us exactly they should be eaten… He even made my sauce for the Phở tableside according to my taste. I will definitely return to try other things on the menu. The portion sizes are also very generous. Wish this place was in Gallup.

This Vietnamese restaurant is one that I stand by. It’s a nice place that packs a lot of flavor in their food. I love it, and I will definitely be back for more.
I had grilled pork, grilled prawns and rice with a sweet and sour sauce on the side… it was to die for. I ate that whole plate up, and for the price, you can’t beat Saigon. I don’t know what more to say… it was great!
Their vietnamese coffee with boba takes a long time to make though. I was about halfway done with my food before I got my drink. It wasn’t that great either, and the boba came out a little tough. Probably won’t be getting that again.
The atmosphere is a little quiet when it’s not a full restaurant, it felt a tad bit lonely when it was just my table. Maybe some music would be good, or if it’s already there, playing it a little louder.
Service was pretty good here. I believe the owner of the restaurant was our server, and he was very attentive to our needs and water refills. I will be coming back again, thank you for a great Vietnamese restaurant that’s close by!

We had a #28 and #52, both very solid dishes, though the #28 was a bit better. Beef was tender, not overcooked (but certainly not rare– I don’t like rare), plenty of vegetables and the noodles were very tasty. The pork in 52 was pretty solid, but the rice was a touch dry for my liking. perhaps with some more sauce on top it would have been just right. Thai iced tea was a little overly sweet but we just added water and it was perfect, so it’s like we scored extra for free ;) service was as expected (they are always polite to a fault, there when you need, and not hovering over you when you don’t).
overall, a solid 4, can’t beat the price and no glaring problems. even had some to take home so you’ll either leave full, stuffed, engorged, or have a 2^nd meal mañana.
oh, and to the guy who talked about not enough choices on the menu… umm, did we eat at the same establishment? dude, there’s like 125 things on the menu? I like my novels written by Clive Cussler or Tom Clancy, not the local Vietnamese chef! ;)
