ca phe saigon

food were prepared fresh and we were really satisfied. ordered banh mi, pomelo salad, special pho, roll sampler and savory pancake. bang for the buck. my new go to place for pho and everything vietnamese. will be back soon.

comfort food for my migraine and dry cough. i'm not too familiar with vietnamese food but me and my husband enjoyed the pho. the beef is tasty and soup is not too salty, the spices are not too strong, you can just add more condiments which are on the side of the table. i am satisfied with the amount of thai basil and bean sprouts, hindi bitin. we also liked the spring roll and pomelo salad. perfect food for two. the waitress is accommodating and serves us well. will definitely go back or try their antipolo branch.

its picturesque becs i have an rni app but truth be told, the pho was just more soup and less beef as well as noodles. the taste was okay but the neighboring hole in the wall, big moe’s also in san roque beat this with a more aromatic and brothy taste.

the price advertised here is a stark difference from the one currently presented. the pho’s big bowl starts at ₱380 (the competitor just ₱240).

they tend to be quite cunningly deceiving especially when we ordered the shrimp fresh roll. we asked first hand what was the price and the staff directly pointed with his hands at the ₱150 pesos price marked. when we got the receipt, the rolls which was barely 6 pieces (note that the shrimp was cut in half- not the usual generous pieces given) was hiked up to ₱270. if i had not firmly told them that i will go straight to marikina city hall on the consumer desk regarding this, they will not be able to reduce this to the original price.

this is a house turned restaurant. so, dine if you dare. we’re first timers and we are definitely not coming back.

you can taste the freshness of their ingredients and how well the food are seasoned. portions are good for sharing and worth its price. glad that i had my birthday dinner here. no regrets & looking forward to more visits! ❤️

i think it's safe to say that this is my favorite vietnamese restaurant in the metro. simple, delicious, and will not blow a hole in my wallet. i consider it one of my and my boyfriend's happy places.

whenever we eat here, we only order three dishes: a vietnamese beef noodle soup for each of us and then vietnamese fried rolls and fresh rolls to share. he's more partial to the fresh rolls while i'm more partial to the fried rolls. those are all that we need, really. they're all delicious. i love how i can actually finish the broth of the pho without the umay feeling at the end.

fresh tasting pho and banh mi! loved the portion size of the pho and the crunch of the banh mi! truly recommended. resto is quite small and gets full during peak hours!

taste is alright but you'd probably need to spend around 500-600php per person to feel satisfied (or it might just be me 😆)

best vietnamese food here in marikina

pomelo salad is the best! i also love their tamarind chicken wings - reminds me of the yummiest fried chicken i had as a kid, phò (both beef and meat balls are really good), fried rolls, and of course their iced coffee that all coffee lovers would surely get obsessed with - cà phê süa dá!!! we go back to their marikina branch almost every week. i met the owner once and she is sooo sweet and nice, like your own grandma serving your food. she even gave us halloween treats! her presence makes the atmosphere more homey. the place is not that big but is extremely clean. not exaggerating, but ca phe saigon is so far the best viet restaurant in the metro.

food always tastes fresh and makes me feel like i'm eating healthy somehow lol... i always order the dry noodles with fried rolls and consistent na masarap sya... we also love their fish sauce kase sakto yung timpla... will definitely go back and recommend the place...

the resto was owned by a vietnamese madam who's hands-on with her dishes. the spot was actually a house converted into a resto. very homey. it was sunday night and place was packed. they have limited servers so ordering was kinda hard. but once ordered dishes were served within 15mins.
we got the fresh spring roll, dry noddles with prawn, pomelo salad, beef pho (no pic), and drip coffee. using our zomato gold.
i really enjoyed their springroll and pomelo salad. the sauce is just perfect. as for the pho, it was okay. the dry noodle was disappointing, no salad slaw included, noodles was too much.
overall, this is still a good vietnamese restaurant that you will probably love to go back to.

i love everything we ordered. no problem with zomato gold. the place is very homey. i wish they would improve the long wait time for the food to be served. good thing the food didn’t disappoint.

this made me miss vietnamese food even more. the long wait is over when finally, an authentic viet dining experience. all the dishes we had are light, hearty, and sooo delicious.

we ordered:

banh mi 😘
special dry noodles combination (chicken) 😘
seafood noodle soup 👌
fresh rolls (regular) 👌

i only wish that the service is faster and the space be bigger to accommodate more people because the food is just amazing. nonetheless, we'll be back to try other dishes and the famous viet coffee. great job, appleb! :)

what else would you hate more than being made to wait for an hour for your food is for the staff to not even update you if your food is ever going to be served. it was our second time in this place but we do not see ourselves ever going back. imagine being made to wait with no updates whatsoever for an hour only for the staff to return, after the third demand, with food which looked like they've been made in a rush. but what set us off really was how we were not even told if the food was ever coming out. an adjacent table to us was getting orders they did not ask for, another was not getting their orders correctly, ours arrived an hour late. what a horrible day to be in ca phe saigon during our visit. hope this restaurant keeps up lest they want people to lose interest.

food is okay. but if i am to wait for an hour for it served by amateur staff, i would rather go to a fastfood restaurant and order myself a burger.

we waited for more than hour just to be served. they didn’t even have the civility to inform us that our food is delayed. i felt disrespected.
