Insider Pages Reviews for Miss Saigon
We went to Miss saigon for the first time recently and enjoyed the food a lot. Decent atmosphere and pretty good service. A little pricey but good food.

Waiters were poorly trained how to treat customers. The rule of 'first come, first served' was easily broken. Beansprouts and other fresh vegetables were not served with noodles.

This place has great vietnamese food. I always get the tofu that is baked or fried (sometimes both) in a coconut curry sauce. They also serve boba, it is a drink with tapioca balls in a tea base. I recommend the coffee or chocolate one. They are just an added bonus to your terrific meal. I did have the soup once and it was not my favorite.

I've been to a few other restaurants but none of them are are good as Miss Saigon near UofA. I would recommend the spring rolls, pho soups, and their great thai iced tea! They have a lot of chilled drinks to satisfy your thirst in the hot hot weather!
PROS: Great food, good prices, large selection of drinks, friendly people
CONS: small restaurant

I recently went to miss saigon on campbell for the first time. I have been to the one on ina and the one on campbell is much better both in quality and timely service. The menu was large. I ordered charbroiled beef and jasmine rice. The beef was delicious and the rice was perfectly cooked. I also had a milk tea with coconut. Oh my gosh I had to order a second one. This place is very good and i will be going there again!
Pros: great food, large menu
Cons: slightly pricy, bathroom is in main dining area

I ordered take out Pho and the spring rolls. The spring rolls had meat in them, which was very odd, but they were still good. The Pho was good with lots of chili sauce, lime, and cilantro. The only problem was that it took 45 minutes to get my food order and there were only 3 people getting take out ahead of me. I would call ahead if getting food from there.
Pros: Good Food
Cons: Bad Service

Miss Saigon is probably my favorite restaurant in Tucson. We're in the desert, so I didn't really expect super Asian food when I moved here, but have been pleasantly surprised by Miss Saigon. Being a grad student, it suits me perfectly - it's close to the University, and not too expensive, so I can afford it every once in awhile (actually I go as often as I can persuade my boyfriend to go with me, regardless of money). I love the pho, and have found the portions to be quite large enough (the small is often too much). The vietnamese rolls as an appetizer are another favorite, as is the chicken curry dish (I think it's #47?).
Someone mentioned the service being poor, and I don't really agree. I've never had any real problems (actually the reverse- everyone is very friendly, even when they're running crazy). I do know that they'll bring whatever you need, but won't necessarily anticipate your needs.
I would highly recommend this restaurant. They recently redid the interior and expanded it (although it's still usually full). It looks classier, but the food is the same, as are the prices, thank goodness!
Pros: food, prices, good parking, location
Cons: sometimes you have to wait

I think that the customer service, in addition to the food, is important to rate a restaurant. This restaurnat is the worst where I've ever been. There were more than four waiters and waitresses. It was quite late night, so not crowded. But my party had to wait forever to order. Even after the order, the waiter didn't care about our table at all until we got the bill.

The person in the previous comment is obviously retarded when it comes to pho
At a pho resturant, they're suppose to bring fresh vegetables with the pho. It's like when you order spaghetti and they don't bring you the tomato sauce with the noodle.
Miss Saigon is a decent restaurant. Their pho is ok. there are many more pho places out there that are better quality and a lot bigger portion. Miss Saigon gives a small portion compare to other places.
Their strengths are their service and cleanliness. i would still recommend it, but a lot of the reviews are a bit exaggerating.
Pros: clean resturant and good service
Cons: a bit pricey, mediocre pho, and small portions

I had been in town barely a week and I was there three times! I still go in at least once a week. Their best dishes are the large pho with the RARE beef slices, the Curried Catfish and the Mango slush (gotta have those tapioca beads in it!). This place stays busy but the line moves quickly. Whatever wait (however short)you have would be worth it!
Pros: Great food, friendly service, parking in back
Cons: Crowded at times, not open 24 hours

I don't know what the previous reviewer was thinking, the pho is great! The small is a very respectable meal for one (almost big enough for 2!), and I got fresh vegetables on the side with mine AND I didn't have to ask. The prices are very reasonable, and I was able to take my boyfriend there and get out of there with spending under $15 for the two of us. Despite the close proximity to the University, parking is accessible. The decor is dull (the place isn't that big) but the service is great and the meals come out fast and hot, even during busy times. Overall, if you have a hankering for Vietnamese in the Old Pueblo, give this place a try.
Pros: Great food, cheap, central location
Cons: sometimes they run out of stuff at the end of the

I went here to get some Pho(hot noodle soup). i wound up ordering the "small" and it was loaded with meat. i was disappointed that they didn't give fresh vegetables on the side as other pho places have. I was really happy with my shrimp curry over rice. It had a nice smooth taste that had just the right amount of spice. The place was pretty lively and I sat facing the window. A pleasant experience overall.
Pros: Shrimp Curry, Value, Big Portions
Cons: Beef Pho not tasty

My first visit to Tucson I made a point to try this place and I must say that it's one of the best Vietnamese noodle soup places anywhere. I ended up going back every day of my 3 day stay in Tucson. The service is super friendly and prompt. Try it and you'll love it.
Pros: the food, the service, the food

Miss Saigon is fabulous! I moved to Tucson from Portland, Oregon which is a Vietnamese food mecca. Miss Saigon has easily met or exceeded any Vietnamese food I've ever eaten, especially the Pho (beef noodle soup). It's a unique flavor like no other soup you've ever had. Be sure to order Item No. 17. Yes, the restaurant is a bit crowded, but who cares! The food is wonderful! :)
Pros: Nice People!, Great Prices!, Awesome Food!
Cons: Somewhat Crowded

Absolutely the finest soups in town. Excellent service. Central location. Coffee that stands up and talks. What else do you need?
Pros: Inexpensive, Nice employees, Outside seating

If you like Asian style noodles, you have to try some of the soups Miss Saigon has to offer. I also highly recommend the wide selection of teas and drinks, served with tapioca balls to create an interesting and delicious beverage called "Bubble Tea". Great service, friendly staff, excellent food, and CHEAP PRICES make this restaurant a must.
Pros: Fabulous noodles, Cheap Prices, Friendly staff
Cons: Small and crowded
