It all started out as a venture to counter feelings for homesickness for owner Tyler Phan, who opened Saigon’s Corner to the Iowa public on June 2018 in its first location in Coralville. The mission was to introduce Iowans to a hot bowl of the hearty Vietnamese soup, known as Pho—using his family’s recipe who sold Pho in Saigon for over 35 years.

After overwhelming feedback from locals, Saigon’s Corner opened a second location right in the heart of Downtown Iowa City in the Old Capitol Town Center with an expansive menu catered to serve a wide variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes.

Saigon’s Corner brings delicious and authentic Vietnamese food with 17 different pho bowls; choices range from vegetable pho, seafood pho, spicy beef noodle pho, flank steak pho and more.
