    Best Pho in Tampa. And it's cheap. The fried egg rolls are great. The only thing is it can get crowded sometimes and you're just standing in everybody's way.

    Best Bun Bo Hue in town! This place isn't stingy on the meats like all the other restaurants. Must get the Banh Mi too!

    There are 4 Viet restaurants within minutes and all serve great food, but Saigon Deli's crowds give it a greater sense of authenticity.

    SD is the liveliest, most affordable, fastest, & reliably good among Tampa's Viet restaurants. Wish menu was broader. Banh Mi are great!

    Wow, what a trip! Great pho and shrimp fresh rolls. Hectic at lunch time, lots of Vietnamese families. Informal. Gonna come back at off time for takeout!

    Spicy shrimp and squid soup. Not on menu. You have to ask for the spicy beef noodle soup and ask for shrimp and squid, no beef. Yummy!!!

    They have one of the best pho soups I’ve had in Tampa. I just wish there were more noodles in the soup.

    Pork broth with egg noodles and shrimp or chicken makes a good pho. Combine that with the spicy sauces when you have a bad cold and you've got yourself a comfy food to fight the cold.

    It's not a kind of restaurant, but more likely a typical Vietnamese serving food shop. It has beautiful French breads with grilled pork and other nice Vietnamese dishes.

    Pho was good. However, the customer service was ok. One better know what to eat. They will charge if you don't like the meal.

    Very small Oriental grocery store. Cozy. The deli part is fairly decent but it's only open from 7-5 so I never get to go unless I'm off or on the weekends.
