About Saigon Pho & Banh Mi
If you’re ever wandering through Seattle’s South End and find yourself craving something cozy, aromatic, and undeniably satisfying, Saigon Pho & Banh Mi at 6519 4th Ave S is exactly where you’ll want to land. This friendly neighborhood spot is where Vietnamese comfort food shines with both flavor and heart.
The menu is built around authentic Vietnamese staples, and the star of the show is the Special Sandwich Banh MI DAC Biet-a crusty baguette stuffed with savory meats, pickled veggies, and fresh herbs that hit all the right notes. For those who prefer a lighter bite, the Vegan Fresh Roll offers a refreshing option, perfect for plant-based eaters or anyone seeking a crisp, herbaceous starter. It's one of many vegetarian options available, making the place welcoming for all diets.
Of course, you can’t talk about Saigon classics without mentioning vermicelli bowls, which arrive as colorful, texture-rich creations topped with grilled meats or tofu, fresh greens, and a side of tangy fish sauce. It’s all about balance here. And if you’re stuck between choices, the Combo of Pho and Vietnamese Sandwiches is the way to go-offering a little bit of everything for the indecisive diner.
To wash it all down, grab a Taro Smoothie. It's rich, velvety, and subtly sweet, the kind of drink that doubles as dessert and makes your meal feel just a bit more indulgent.

Customer Reviews
“ We got the pho & banh mi combo (beef) plus a pork banh mi, and the total was only $24 before tip. The food was amazing, fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. Honestly, it felt like such a steal that we would’ve happily paid more. Great value and delicious food!!! ”
“ I was more than satisfied with my dine experience. The staff was friendly enough and attentive. Like a good neighbor, they just keep on being there. Even better, they didn't give me a hard time for wanting a side of peanut sauce for my pho. Almost every pho place i go to gets slightly micro agressive when i ask for a side of peanut sauce for my pho. Their menu selection was plentiful and very reasonably priced. Especially their combos. I'll forsure be back for more. I apprciate that they have sauce on all the tables. One of which I dont think ive ever seen at any noodle spot that sells pho. Of course I tried it and yes it was good, but probably not for the pho. I know I only talk about pho, but they for sure have many other options besides. On this trip i settled for a large steak and brisket pho. My food wasn't the best I ever had but It was very delicious. The broth was extra savory. Some may prefer a much cleaner broth, but I like many types of broth. I had so much food i could only eat about half. I forsure should have ordered a small. Especially since i ate a light breakfast maybe 2 hours before. The only thing I wanted more of was the topping such as onions and etc. For a large it was a bit bare bones when it came to the toppings. I don't remember the parking situation, but the place had a lot of people showing up for lunch. So many people ordered the combo, i so should have just ordered it. Surprisingly this place had a pretty cool interior design. Nothing fancy, but you can tell they put in effort into their them. It felt appropriate and it was surprisingly clean. Big shout out to the workers for simply making sure the customers are taken care of. ”
“ One of the only places I know that does a banh mi + pho combo. Amazing value too. Pho was above average, and the banh mi grilled pork has a lot of flavor. Dip the banh mi in the pho broth ”
“ I stopped by to pick up a Bánh mì sandwich with pork. It took only five minutes or so ;and was delicious. The sandwich was a reasonable size. At $8 it seemed a good deal. ”
“ My wife and I came here for the first time, and it was a really great place. The food is really good, and I'd definitely recommend trying this place. The service was really good and the food came out quick. Really laid-back atmosphere, but it was a little warm eating in. ”
“ Give this place a shot!! I got the pork vermicelli bowl w/egg rolls, shrimp spring rolls, and a Vietnamese coffee. Everything tasted great and they are a very friendly family. It is easy to miss this place due to the location and there is limited parking. I will definitely be back and I hope their business is going well enough to stick around ”
“ We liked the shrimp spring rolls with a side of peanut dipping sauce. My companion enjoyed beef pho while I demolished a bowl of shrimp pho. They had the usual extras to add to pho which i like to add to give dish that extra something special in way of flavor, not that it needed it as the broth was good. The specials on the menu are worth checking out, I will with my next visit. I appreciated the friendly service and cleanliness of the establishment and the large glass of ice water. ”
