Extremely friendly service and large portions. Always plenty of space in the establishment and one server in particular whose name I didn't catch who is particularly chatty and enthusiastic. He really made our meal extra special.
I am kicking myself that I didn't take any pictures of the food! My cousin recommended Alo Saigon for supper tonight, and I am so flipping glad she did. The roasted pork bao bun appetizer is unlike anything I've had outside of little shops in NYC. I ordered a vermicelli bowl with grilled beef. It was massive, but I finished it slowly. Their BBQ sauce on the beef is outstanding--a bit sweet, a little spicy...a perfect sauce. Also all our food came out very fast. Everything was clearly fresh. I also need to commend our servers--all the staff was friendly, prompt and inviting. It feels more like being at a friend's house than going out to eat. I ended up ordering more bao buns to take home and was shocked at how low the bill was. I got five buns total plus my giant bowl and it was only $22. Already planning on making this a place I go monthly or more.
Amazing atmosphere! Food was delicious and the gentleman that served us was outstanding. If you go there get the #60. It was so good, I ordered it twice lol.
I was running another errand in Westfield and thought I'd give Alo Saigon a try. I'm so glad I did! My order was small, just a #5, the vegetable summer rolls. I called in my order, and the friendly voice on the phone told me 15-20 minutes. Arriving a bit later than that, I was met again with likely the same friendly person. When I said I was just in town for something else trying the place out, she said it was great and she's not just saying that, she had been a customer before. As to the summer rolls, they were great! Packed with avocado (which I hadn't experienced in a summer roll before, flavorful tofu, rice noodles, lettuce and carrot, they were expertly rolled and were kept so in the to-go container with some plastic wrap. They came with two sauces: a light peanut sauce, and a tangy fish sauce that were both really good. For some they may be enough for lunch, they were that substantial (me, I'd need a couple more!), but I wasn't in search of lunch, just a snack, so all good. Looking forward to returning, whether I have to go to Westfield for something else or not!
The most versatile and affordable place in the area. Fresh and super tasty ingredients. Perfect for vegetarian/ pescetarians. You will eat til you are more than full, then still have a second meal to take home with you in leftovers.
