Food is great! I come here at least once a week, always quick service but could be a little more friendlier.
We had the pork bao buns, dumplings as appetizers, which were both great. Bao buns were better than the dumplings, but the dumplings were still good! Then we had the chicken pho & beef/brisket pho. Both were awesome and well worth the price, lots of noodles, meat was tender and the broth flavorful. Out of all of the restaurants we visited during our week in Westfield, this was our favorite! If we are ever in town again, we would be sure to eat here again!
If only I'd taken a photo of the delicious seafood pho #28 -- but I was too anxious to dip into its refined flavors and gobble it up while steaming. Don't let the hole in the wall atmosphere or stone faced monosyllabic waitress put you off: the food is amazing. When not serving the waitress is cleaning the booths, sweeping the front stoop and filling in take out orders. When in this part of the world, it's surprising to find a genuine taste of Asia.
Great food without the heave feel. The shrimp spring rolls were great and the #59 with rice noodles was cooked perfect I added some hot chili oil for a little kick. They are quick and friendly even when busy a definite must try.
My wife and I recently moved to Westfield and Alo Saigon was one of the first restaurants we tried. My mom came with, as she was helping us paint our new house. The restaurant is super casual in the best way. So far (we've been twice), I've only seen one person working the room and she's very attentive! One thing I noticed is, once you sit down, they have an array of sauces and condiments at every table; lightly crunchy fried chili oil, pickled garlic, and I believe a Vietnamese hot chili sauce. The menu is expressive; it's the kind of menu where you would feel guilty if you ordered the same way twice. The first time I ordered pho and the second time I ordered "broken rice" with pork. The pho is flavorful and comes with the usual topping, which were crisp and fresh; basil, bean sprouts, jalapeño. The broken rice was delicious; the eggs were hard-cooked with crispy white edges and the pork chop was bone-in and heavily seasoned with Chinese 5 Spice (I think). Both times my family ordered a variety of starters; dumplings, shrimp balls, chicken wings (these were a stand out and function as an entree!), pork buns, egg buns, crab Rangoon, to name most of them. If I could summarize Alo Saigan: casual, fast, family-friendly, and exciting cuisine that is, instantly, recognizable as expertly prepared. Could it be the best Vietnamese in Western Mass? Maybe!
