My favorite restaurant in Ridgecrest! Great Pho, love the Thai Spicy Fried Rice and many other dishes!

Even though the chef has a habit of omitting nuts in dishes that call for them (pineapple fried rice and pad thai), we think this is the best Thai food in the area. Been here twice, and both times a dish was either missing cashews or peanuts. It's really weird that this happens. The Vietnamese iced coffee was watered down. I wouldn't order it again. Thai tea with boba was delicious BUT a very tiny amount of boba for the price, sadly. All the food we've had has been pretty great. We've tried pad see ewe with tofu, pad thai with tofu, wonton soup, pineapple fried rice, shrimp spring rolls, and yellow curry. The curry liquid is thin, and enough to warrant a larger portion of rice than what is served. The tofu is flavorful and has the perfect crispiness. We have really enjoyed every dish. Service, too, has been prompt and attentive.

After reading reviews, we were worried about how busy this place would be. We arrived 6pm on a Monday night and were seated right away. Several more parties joined us shortly and several pick ups. So yes, it was busy. We got our food quickly and enjoyed it. The chicken qings were particularly tasty. We would definitely go back.

This is a very busy pho and Thai food spot, with so many people doing pick-up orders and eating inside. That share a gravel parking lot with several other businesses. We ordered pho, both small and large portions. The small bowl looks small, but contains so much noodles. The pho are worth the price and are a little cheaper than the other spots I have been to. We also tried the sweet sticky rice with mango, which was perfectly sweet. Service was very good and and attentive.

Very unique food with a taste from Thailand on the Orient Express. Flavors from across the globe with rich flavors and mild to very spicy flavors. The sweet and hot wings are good and crispy. I just tried the spicy jungle curry with fish and its was delicious and with a lot of veggies. I had mine mild, but you can order a side of hot spice to make it to your own liking. I tried the Lardna too, it was very tasty and delicious with a lot of veggies and your own spice. The veggie egg rolls are delicious too. I was told the beef PHO is epic tasting too.

In search of a lunch spot on our long drive back from Mammoth, my wife discovered Saigon Flavor in the city of Ridgecrest near the halfway point. The restaurant is an unassuming Vietnamese-Thai fusion eatery found in a strip mall off of N. China Lake Blvd. Customers appeared to be mostly locals but judging by how busy the establishment was during the lunch hour, it was apparent they have a high number of regular patrons and repeat customers. It was surprising to find that some of the employees appeared to be Vietnamese which lends some credence to its authenticity. I ordered the Thai Iced Coffee and a bowl of Pho Doc Biet with additional Meatball and they both hit the spot! If you should find yourself in Ridgecrest and are craving Vietnamese or Thai cuisine, Saigon Flavor is worth a try.
