“ Quiet and cute aesthetic inside. Server was so kind and didn't let us down with a food rec! We tried the chicken wings, garlic honey chicken, and pineapple fried rice (can't forget Thai Tea). Nothing disappointed and left with to-go box because portions were fair sized. I will go back, have to have the wings again! ”
“ A very simple restaurant with pretty decor and very yummy and well-priced food. My panang curry was almost shockingly generous: a big bowl full of fresh veggies and tofu and lots of thick, creamy, luscious, spicy coconut sauce for under $20. ”
“ I really should get something different, but I love the egg roll noodle Saigon salad! Again and again and again! I have stopped in here since the late 1980's! ”
“ The service was absolutely wonderful. Friendly staff, quick service and amazing food! The fresh spring rolls paired with the peanut sauce were so good. This restaurant was very clean and welcoming. ”
“ We tried the bo ne, steak pho and luc lac. Pho broth was amazing and had great depth, serving size was generous. The bo he was a bit different from what we had before (no pate and beef was a bit different) but well seasoned, arrived sizzling and was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back next time we're in the area for the children's museum. ”
“ Food portion was small for the price, however the food was good, service was quick, staff was nice and place was clean. If the pho bowl was bigger this would be a 5 star. ”
“ Fantastic! I got the chicken pho with added veggies. Hubs got the Saigon Pho (not pictured). And we got the spring rolls. Everything is fragrant, tasty, perfect. Inspired my dear man to wax poetic about his time in Vietnam. He says and I agree, best pho in Olympia Staff were so sweet, friendly, prompt, attentive. We will be back with friends and family! ”
“ I found myself in Olympia with a grumbly tummy. I happened upon Saigon Rendezvous by chance, with a parking spot right in front, so I took that as a sign to satiate my hungry stomach and try a new Thai place. I'm so glad I did. The outside certainly presented itself with a "dive-y" feeling, but I kind of like dives. I find they may not look pretty, but they usually have great food. Upon entry, the place was clean, roomy and plenty of available seating. The bathroom was clean and I always think that is a good sign! The seats, however, were definitely NOT curvy, hippy, big butt girl friendly! In fact, they were down right uncomfortable. So, be forewarned!! IF you have curves, the seats are not friendly. I ended up sitting very forward in the metal chair, because my hips just could not tolerate the pain. Besides that one negative, the rest of the review is positive. Because, the food was delish! I settled on my usual shrimp fresh rolls with peanut sauce and a bowl of chicken pho. The rolls were stuffed with yummy, crispy lettuce, carrots, sprouts, shrimp, cilantro, accompanied by a delicious peanut dipping sauce. Both were really tasty. The pho broth was sublime. So flavorful. The chicken in the soup was plentiful and the bean sprouts, lime and Thai basil were absolutely fresh. This meal made my grumbly tummy happy. The portions were substantial and enough for me to take half home to enjoy for my dinner! Yes! This is definitely a "dive" I plan on coming back to when I find myself in Olympia. The waiter was sweet and attentive. He was also the chef. I am assuming he was the owner as well. Two thumbs up for Saigon Rendezvous! ”
“ Pros: good food, reasonable price, large dining room with many seats and tables, friendly staff. Cons: street parking can be tricky ”
“ The pho was fantastic! The portion is very generous and i went with a Saigon Pho combo that had tripe, meatballs, and brisket for about $15. I came in with a group of 3 and a toddler and we all went in with a craving for a warm bowl of pho. We almost lost focus at the mention of pad see ew and pad thai but the pho bowls are big, they come with a lot of meat, and it will definitely fill you up. I even had what seemed like a regular serving of pho leftover to take home and I really felt I had eaten a lot. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls as well and they came out at the same time as the pho. I may have just been more excited for the pho but I didn't love these. They tasted like just cabbage and shrimp but I did love the peanut dipping sauce. ”
