Located as close as one can be to Henderson while retaining a Las Vegas zip-code PHO Saigonese debuted in early 2024, popularity spread by word-of-mouth almost unprecedented in the Social Media era now seeing a second location on Spring Mountain soon to open.
Owned by Danmy Nguyen, a simple message on the website suggesting “we are passionate about sharing the delicious flavors of our homeland with others,” guests entering Suite #130 of 1740 East Serene Avenue are greeted by warm smiles and mixed woods while music plays subtly overhead.
Not a flashy space, though long and narrow with paintings juxtaposing organic touches, PHO Saigonese’s menu explores a wide swath of Vietnamese Cuisine including staples like Pho and Spring Rolls but also more esoteric plates as well as specials.
Managed by bilingual staff with good knowledge of the Food, a dueling pair of Vietnamese Coffees arriving first, fans of Coconut will find Cà Phê Dừa Đá Xay texturally compelling and mellow whether paired to grilled Pork Patty Rolls or Xoi Man with five types of Meat and runny Quail Eggs on slightly-sweet sticky Rice.
Selected specifically for Banh Khot, crispy cups with a custard layer supporting Shrimp, fans will find these better than many heralded Orange County icons while oversized Banh Xeo and Pho with a “Build Your Own” option are no less impressive and arguably each the best in Sin City.
