We happened upon this restaurant while they were having a soft opening. They were very welcoming and the restaurant was very nice.

Cary was our waiter, and he was very helpful answering my questions about the food (I'm more of a meat & potatoes kind of guy). I ordered the combination rice plate, and my wife ordered the Saigon Alley pho.

When my dinner arrived, it had a beef skewer, a chicken skewer, shrimp, chicken egg roll, as well as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and pickled carrots.

The beef was nice, but the shrimp & chicken were amazing! Delicious! I was amazed with the flavor of the chicken; there was kind of a high note that made it sing.

Although I don't like pickled foods, the pickled carrots were lightly pickled. I enjoyed nibbling on them & would have them in the future.

The pho came with a pot of hot broth that Cary poured over the bowl of ingredients. I had a taste, and loved it.

Very glad we happened upon this restaurant and we will definitely be returning. Saigon Alley Kitchen & Bar is definitely our new favorite restaurant.
