Saigon Shack New York Reviews from The Last Year
I know this place is all the rage and so I was very excited
I know this place is all the rage and so I was very excited to come. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but I thought the food itself was just okay. Was able to get seated immediately upon arrival, but if I had even came 20 minutes later, the line would be out the door. I ordered the Classic Beef Pho and I feel like I've had better pho in NYC. The pho was fairly standard, nothing really stood out. The beef was a bit tough to chew on. I will say that it's pretty reasonably priced compared to other places in NYC but the taste was nothing rave about. I think next time I come, I'll get the Grilled Pork Chops or another vermicelli dish. Overall, not super impressed with Saigon Shack. By the way, it is cash only!
We stopped by here a Saturday night to satisfy our banh mi
We stopped by here a Saturday night to satisfy our banh mi cravings. First off, their takeout ordering system could certainly use some work; you place your order, then stand outside with no indicator of when your food is ready. We ended up just going in multiple times to check on our order, and every time was shooed out when it turned out to not be ready. Felt like they didn't really want us there. The banh mi itself was just ok. I got the lemongrass chicken bahn mi, and the sandwich was quite dry. Really could use a lot more of the classic mayo that most banh mi have slathered on. The chicken also wasn't juicy or flavorful enough to make up for it. The sandwich could also use a lot more pickled veggies for balance. We also just got their classic banh mi, and this was significantly better. It had bacon bites in it, which added a really nice jammy and sweet flavor. Probably will be back if we're in the area craving sandwiches, but will definitely try to find another spot for our banh mis!
Saigon shack seems to always have a line, and to be honest
Saigon shack seems to always have a line, and to be honest I can't really understand why when there are better Vietnamese places around. Their pho is pretty standard and it's flavorful but there's just something in the broth that tasted off. The banh mi is just not it though; it seemed too bready and the amount of mayo or whatever creamy spread it was did not work. I was not a fan.
The beef pho was classic.
Good for a cold day. We went on a hot day and I should have ordered a pork rib bowl. Next time
there was a wait but only ~20 mins for 2 on a friday night.
we were seated at the bar. cash only but alternatively you can order and pay online. this means the service you're receiving is order being brought to you, refilling water, whatever other requests you have. we didnt have any other interactions with staff. my friend and i ordered separately and they pointed out how much she tipped before we left. its not that they had poor service but there wasnt much service. 4/5 saigon pho - not bad. flavorful broth, on the sweeter side. i was expecting the taste of the spices to be stronger but alas it was not. noodle texture was fine, decent amount of protein. they gave me all the usual toppings (bean sprouts, basil, lime wedge, oyster sauce and sriracha). decent bowl but l'm still looking for my fav place in the city. i'm from the bay though so i am a little picky when it comes to pho. 4/5 catfish banh mi - this thing was massive. she's so thiccc i couldn't get a proper bite with all the ingredients at once. the fish was cooked well but would have been better if it was crispy, a little asmr as you bite. overall it was good. i would try another one of their banh mi. my friend got their vermicelli bowl and she liked it! but we dont have much to comment on here. 4/5 thai iced tea - standard 3/5 coconut vietnamese coffee - coconut flavor was very light. only a hint of it at the end. would have been delicious with some coconut cream stirred in but it tasted like they just added some of the milk i smelled like food the entire rest of the night lmao. please plan accordingly. we did sit at the bar which is in front of the kitchen so if you're seated at a table maybe theres nothing to worry about.

The food was just mediocre, I ordered summer rolls with shrimp. The shrimp in the summer rolls are rotten, it tastes really bad. And they take cash only. But on the website they said they take credit cards as well. I would not come back for the food. Kinda disappointed
Great Vietnamese food near Washington Square Park! Saigon
Great Vietnamese food near Washington Square Park! Saigon Shack is a cozy Vietnamese restaurant on Macdougal street. I stopped by with a friend for lunch after spending a day at the park, and we were seating after a ~ 10 minute wait. The smell of pork chops on the grill hits you right when you walk in. Their menu is full of Vietnamese staples like Banh Mi and Pho. Here's what we ordered: Spring rolls: The pork filling was seasoned well and the roll was super crispy. Pork Chop Banh Mi: Juicy Pork, fresh carrots and daikon. Big fan. Pork Rice Bowl: Super filling and came with a delicious tangy sauce. Service was fast and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable for the neighborhood. Only downside is that it's a bit cramped inside. Will definitely be stopping by again!

The banh mi! Ok so cash only unless you order off the app, first of all. Second if you're a single, sit at the bar if you can, or a two top. If you're a two top don't try to rude your way into a larger table, it's an ugly look. Service is great, I ordered vegetarian beef banh mi and I'm glad I did! Perfectly crunchy bread with tons of fillings: succulent marinated 'meat', crunchy veggies -carrots and daikon pickled perfectly and cucumbers sliced thin, cilantro not too much! And a soft spread of mayo. Perfection! Banh mi of my dreams! Small place so again, don't be rude!

I've often enjoyed delicious meals here over the years, and good service, too. I've enjoyed all the items on their menu and kept discovering new delights and returning to old favorites. I'm due for another visit soon. I love the ambience and the food and hope it hasn't changed too much since my last visit before the pandemic.
Love love love .
You might have to wait in a line , but I'd say it's pretty worth it . I usually get the SS pho , and I really enjoy it . Try to go in group of 2 or 3 anything more than that you'll be waiting for a while
Saigon Shack
Saigon Shack is one of the anchors of MacDougal Street, perhaps the most eccentric yet endearing street in NYC. I came in here fresh off getting served an L by another job application, so needed a quality bowl of pho to ease the pain. Maybe they are reading these yelp reviews and think I'm unhinged ahahahahahaha. The exterior is not what I would expect from a Vietnamese restaurant as you are met with a yellow and white striped canopy, something a tasteful or ostentatious French restaurant would have. The difference between tasteful and ostentatious is a microscopic line. I was sat immediately at the bar and opted to get the Saigon Shack Pho and the Fresh Summer Rolls with shrimp. To be honest, the fresh summer rolls were decent, but didn't wow me. I like to be wow'd. I love to be wow'd, in fact. But the pho...................WOW. The amalgamation of the sliced beef, house brisket, beef balls, and rice noodles hit like Roy Jones Jr hitting Percy Harris with 4 hooks at one time. Y'all must have forgot! One of the servers had one of the coolest shirts on. It was a jet black T with bold white lettering that read "Saigon *** Shack" with QUALITY stitching, none of this screen print BS. I asked if they sold them and he said no. It hurt, but every no is closer to a yes. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!

I have a big ongoing and it also shows someone is working on my bid. Today I see there is a " Buy Instantly " option at my portfolio showing same price I've bid for a reservation. I'm a bit confused, since my money has already been deducted from my credit card for the bid, do I need to pay one more time for the Buy Instantly? If I choose Buy Instantly, can I cancel my bid ( while someone is working on it )? Thanks!
