ca phe saigon

i love their food. the taste of fresh herbs excites my taste buds. their pho is great! it tastesauthenticalthough the beef is a bit tough for my liking.
the spring rolls are my favorite especially with the peanut sauce. heaven! the only thing i hate is that they're really big! the vermicelli were stuffed more than how they should've been. i hope they were cut into bite size pieces.
the pomelo salad is good. the vinaigrette was just a little sweet for me. i'd also love it more if it has lettuce for additional crunch.
wasn't able to taste the banh mi because my campanion ate very little, i was the one who gobbled up 80% of the three dishes. will definitely eat on our next visit.
my nanay loves vietnamese food so i'll go with her if we have time 😊

having been to vietnam, i have fallen in love with their dishes. eating here at ca phe saigon brings back vietnam's flavors unlike any other vietnamese restaurants i've tried in metro manila.

try their pho and ask for ngogai leaves to experienceauthenticvietnamese food.

this made me miss vietnamese food even more. the long wait is over when finally, anauthenticviet 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! :)

this little vietnamese shop is inside of what seems to be a residential area so at first glance you might feel that it has gone out of business- the entrance is on the sides.

ambiance is just ok, it is a garage converted resto so you get the feeling. around 7 to 10 table sitting. i guess what's missing is the lack of vn songs that runs in the background. but hey,authenticpho shops have motorbike mufflers as their background music. so it's not really necessary.

we ordered:
pho bo- beef noodle soup that's for me the soup base was quite strong. it does not resemble the clean taste of anauthenticvn pho. don't get me wrong, it's still good, it's not salty. it's just not what i'm expecting.

fresh spring roll- a little twist that instead of local vn herbs, they put cabbage (not sure) but still got the feeling since they nailed the peanut butter dip.

ca phe sua da- vn iced coffee, for me is lacking of that famous kick. not as strong as the original. nevertheless the ratio of condense milk was just right, not lacking not sweet.

nuoc mia- sugarcane juice. didn't got the chance to try it but my wife and kid did. they say it is pure extract and no sugar was added, so i attest.

value and food quality was achieved. we will visit again.

this is a small hole in the wall place that servesauthenticvietnamese pho and banh mi. the spring rolls was really good too! although the best part of our meal was the vietnamese coffee - served the traditional drip way with condensed milk - strong but no bitter taste. perfect!

fresh herbs! while walking towards its unassuming entrance, you can already smell the good food that is yet to come. another one of marikinas hidden gem, this place servesauthenticvietnamese flavor. bun ćha obama, fresh spring rolls and beef phô noodles were what we ordered, flavors were on point and the servings are big enough to feed and extra you.

the must-trys are the fried rolls, pho and banh mi! superauthenticand nice place to chill. the coffee is also authentic. you will feel like you are eating at a local vietnamese food place. 💖

haven't triedauthenticvietnamese food yet so i can't really comment on its authenticity, but overall, i enjoyed our quick and light dinner here in ca phe saigon!

we ordered:
1. banh mi (beef) - better and tastier than banh mi kitchen imo. will try roasted pork next time 👌
2. fried rolls - tasted like our ordinary lumpia for me (sorry 😢) but the vinegar dip is good!!!
3. vietnamese iced coffee (ca phe sua da) - i've tried this already from st. marc's cafe but i like this one better. coffee is stronger but also sweeter for me, maybe because of the condensada??? :) perhaps i'll have this again but i would request to lessen the condensed milk :)

🌟 this is also a partner zomato gold restaurant so we had our fried rolls for free!!! 🌟

staff are also very accommodating! will definitely return and have a date w/ mom ❤️

tucked in a quiet residential part of marikina, ca phe saigon might not be that accessible but it’s worth a visit. it’s a small, simple, and unassuming food place, yet offers delicious andauthenticvietnamese fare. the place was full when we arrived on a weekday night. with its limited seating, it might be best to call ahead and check for an available table. we had the fresh vegetable rolls, special chicken pho, and pomelo salad. almost everything tasted so fresh (the pomelo salad was a little bit dry). loved the burst of flavors of the coriander and basil in the mouth, it was so refreshing! they also had generous servings. will definitely try the coffee next time.

we first visited ca phe saigon when the dining area was still their garden/sala converted to a restaurant. now that they have expanded to a real air-conditioned restaurant, we find their food still yummy andauthenticand their staff still courteous and attentive. it’s also nice to talk to the owners once in a while 😊 keep up the good work 😊

i love coming back to ca phe saigon... favorites are the pho and the drinks. normally i go for their refreshing coolers but this time around i went for the caphe sua da, iced vietnamese coffee. did not regret it. :) homey atmosphere, simple, freshly cookedauthenticfood. perfect.

delicious andauthenticvietnamese food! everything fresh, fragrant and flavorful. beautiful ambience, homey. very accommodating staff. definitely a favorite!

veryauthenticvietnamese food that is so delicious!! will definitely come back even without zomato gold.

staff are super friendly too.

keep it up!

my go-to place for legit viet food. won’t say anything anymore, i want you to go there to experience their awesome customer service and to taste theirauthenticvietnamese food ☺️
