Reviews Summary
ANAN Saigon Streetfood offers a lively atmosphere and a wide array of flavorful Vietnamese street food, with many praising the pho and fried dumplings. While the food is generally enjoyed for its taste and affordability, some diners find the portions small for the price and the interior cramped. Service is consistently noted as friendly and quick, though the washrooms have received occasional negative feedback.
"Arrived in the days between Christmas and New Years eve 2024 without a reservation, the restaurant looked completely full. Fortunately, with the aid of the friendly guy in the door, and a bit of luck, we got a seating for two🙏 Service was quick and good, our drinks arrived swiftly, while we made our mind up on the food. Must admit, we have a sweet spot for Vietnamese (and most Asian) food, and were not disappointed here 😋. A funny sidenote; after we paid our bill by credit card, and actually went out the door, the friendly waiter came out, asked if we could see if the payment actually went through. Her terminal and app did not perform as usual. To the best of my memory I saw the “Approved” message when the card terminal processed st the table. They were very friendly, and calm, but just in doubt. I did not want to “dash” either, so left number and hotel details, asking them to call if anything wrong. Everything panned out in good order."

"Excellent on all accounts. We enjoyed the pho, asked for chili on the side. Great atmosphere and staff is really friendly and on the ball for such a busy place! Make a reservation for dinner rush, or show up a bit before dinner when tables are available."

"Our sudden trip to Utrecht brought us here—a cozy, budget-friendly Vietnamese restaurant that you might want to visit. We had Hoanh Thanh Chien (chicken and shrimp wonton), Pho Anan (beef noodle soup), and Com Chien Ga Vit (chicken and duck fried rice). All the dishes were delicious, but the pho was definitely the standout.
We also tried matcha tea and Vietnamese coffee for the first time. We didn’t enjoy these much. Vietnamese coffee is certainly different from the coffees we’ve had before. Since it was our first time trying these drinks, we don’t have a reference point for comparison, so I’m not saying they’re bad—it’s just that they didn’t suit our taste buds.
The service was quick and friendly, but one negative point I’d like to mention is that the washroom was dirty."
