District Saigon - Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Astoria, New York

The service head was phenomenal. You never have to look for a server as they attended to you constantly. Great ambiance and vibe inside. The food smelled and tasted amazing. Had the short rib fried rice. The short rib was small pieces and very tender, but was plenty of it in the rice. The drinks were really great as well. Would definitely recommend and will be going back again. read more

This place ruined pho for me. I can't eat it anywhere else knowing how good it is here. My favorite pho place I've ever been to. Outside of my mom's homemade pho, this is the place to go. Despite the slightly higher price, I've realized that after visiting here, no other pho place I've been to has quite the right amount of flavors and spices. The owner is Vietnamese which is not a surprise given the authentic flavors. They have some menu items that bring a modern spin on the classic flavors like the wood smoked pho, which my boyfriend loves. The space is modern and clean which is likely another reason for the higher price point. The menu is small and streamlined which means they are doing less but allows them tdo it well. Though, I wished they had more appetizers because it's the best part of eating out for me... We go here often for when we are craving pho or for special occasions. read more

I'd give 4.5 stars! The summer rolls were refreshing and the chicken pho had very flavorful broth. I also tried the smoked brisket pho which is definitely unique but I found the smoked flavor a bit overpowering. The pho portions are also HUGE, so you get your moneys worth I would say. The interior is very nice and modern as well so it's a nice ambiance. read more

Their pho is something else! Try their wood & herb smoked brisket pho if you're looking for something different! The broth has this great smoky flavor that just warms your soul. The district pho is also a great option if you want to try different meats. The broth is rich, fragrant and flavorful. Generous portions of noodles and meat. I am happily full afterwards. We also ordered their Vietnamese hot coffee - authentic and strong. It comes in a clear mug filled with condensed milk and a filter on top so you can enjoy the experience of the drip. Overall great dining experience and would come back repeatedly. read more

District Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Astoria, New York

Wanted Pho for dinner but didn't want to go to Chinatown in Manhattan nor Flushing... Astoria it is! The restaurant can be seen through glass windows and entered through a plain wooden door. The interior ceiling was like a wooden hut. It was dimly lit lighting -- simple like the light bulb hanging but sophisticated with the bowl covering each bulb. There is a bar to the left and some tables to the right. The quieter seating is in the back half of the restaurant. Since it was early and a bit empty, we went to sit across from the kitchen window where the cooked dishes are placed to be delivered to patrons. It got filled quickly and a line when we left. We decided to - share a Pork Belly Pot: the carmelized coconut sauce was a bit sweet to eat by itself though it's perfect to put on the rice (yum!). You can't go wrong with this dish! - order an individual District Pho: this was a pretty big dish for me. I couldn't stop slurping the broth. The bone marrow was so tasty. Wished I had more room to finish this dish. Have to come back to try the appetizers and the other dishes. read more

This was one of the first places I dine when indoor dining opened. I felt very comfortable, they take temperature checks, and require customers to write their contact info while also spacing out people. I really was craving ramen and boy did they deliver!! It's hard to find ramen places who don't use pork broth and I'm happy DS clarifies this on their menu. The smoke brisket was out of this world, I mean you can really taste the smokiness! Apps were eh, but the ramen is where it's at. read more

This place has such amazing vibes! Came here on a rainy day needing pho and the district pho is so good like I love the broth because it's different from the other broths I've had elsewhere and my partner both agree it tastes so authentic and delicious that we finished all of the broth which I never do! And then we got the classic rolls like summer and spring rolls and their vegetables are SO fresh, I was in love. Lastly their greatest feature is their cocktails and their lychee drink! I can't wait to come back with a group of friends and make this our go to spot in the area!! read more

Came around 12:30pm on a Sunday and the place was already starting to get packed but luckily we were able to get a table for two with no wait. We got the option of either sitting in the front or the back and we ended up sitting at a table near the front of the restaurant because the back seemed a little dim. The ambiance of the restaurant in the front felt nice because of all the natural light that came in through the windows. Now onto the food! We ordered the following: Banh Mi Sliders ($9): an order comes with 3 sliders which contained pork sausage, sliced pork and their homemade pate which was a great combination. The bread was also nicely toasted and warm. District Pho ($18): my boyfriend got this and thoroughly enjoyed it. It came with round steak, bone marrow, meatballs and the broth was very hearty. Wood and Herb Smoked Brisket ($14): This was very unique because of the Smokey taste in the pho. I would recommend this option if you're looking to try something other than your regular pho. The service was pretty standard and they get the job done. Overall, we enjoyed our meal here and would stop by again if we're in the area. read more

One of the best Vietnamese places I've been to! There was limited outdoor seating available. We were able to bring our dog and they even gave us a water bowl for him! Such a nice touch - the owner herself has a dachshund and it's nice to be able to bring your pet places. We tried their vegan pho and traditional banh mi, and the pinebender and lychee juice as drinks. As someone who ate meat previously, the vegan pho has all the taste and spices that I was missing, if not better. Drinks accompanied the meal well and everything was brought out promptly. Service was immaculate! Can't wait to return again to support a local business! read more

Authentic, quality Vietnamese food in Astoria. Great pho, pork chops & wings. Vietnamese crepe was okay is kinda messy and hard to eat. Attentive service and good for large groups. read more

I didn't know I needed it in my life until I took the first bite. It started out like a regular day, me craving some warm soup in this hot weather. I decided to order their vegan pho. My order was ready for pickup within five minutes and I was happy about that because I was starving. I was excited to try this because this was my first pho since becoming vegan. The smell alone was enough to make my mouth water. After taking the first bite, I was so glad that I ordered here. Even my friend who was skeptical about it liked the taste. The pho put me on a food coma and I love it. read more

District Saigon - Vietnamese Near Me - Astoria, New York

If there ever was a restaurant that deserves 5 stars, this would be it. No, this isn't a Michelin star restaurant or a must-go destination for tourists, but they meet all of the criteria of what a great restaurant should be. I came here with a few friends on a Saturday evening at approximately 6:30pm. Since it was still relatively early, we were seated immediately in the back where most of the large tables were situated. Immediately, we noticed the interesting layout of the restaurant. They had tables at the front, a bar and large picnic tables for large parties in the back, which were reserved, and there was more than a reasonable amount of spacing everywhere. I loved the fact that they obviously do not care to pack every customer possible like a can of sardines and instead make it a much more comfortable dining experience. We were greeted immediately with a 2 page menu, which was broken out into street Snacks/appetizers, seafood small plates, vegetables and stir fry, entrees, pho, vermicelli (bun) & salads and sides. If you're a fan of Vietnamese food and have frequented Vietnamese restaurants, many of the items listed would look familiar, but with a spin to it, unlike your traditional inexpensive Vietnamese restaurant. And I do want to emphasize inexpensive as District Saigon is a bit pricier than those restaurants, but after you've received your food, you'll know where that extra money went as it's worth every penny, nickel and dime you spend here. For our appetizer, we went with the Chicken Wings & Taro Fries. Both were right on. I would highly recommend it for any table. The chicken wings had a Korean fried chicken honey garlic flavor to it, if you've tried it, and fries were extremely crunchy. As for my entree, I ended up with ordering Obama's Bun Cha. Yes, that's right. They have an actual dish named after President Barack Obama, and rightfully so, since he ordered a nice bowl of vermicelli in his widely talked about appearance on Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown (God rest his soul). The Bun Cha consisted of your everyday vermicelli and mix-ins (bean sprouts, mint, mixed greens, carrots, cucumber, peants) with a char-grilled pork patty and cut up spring rolls. I never thought I'd say one Vietnamese restaurant makes better bun cha than another, but this might have been the best bun cha I ever had. The vermicelli was cooked perfectly and the spring rolls were as crunchy and flavorful as I've ever tasted. There was also the pork patty, which was not only so tasty, but also soft and melted in my mouth like the savory piece of pork that it is. My friends also ordered the Pork Chops entree, Shaken Sirloin and Eggs entree, Red Snapper Filet and a bowl of Pho. I can't really commemnt on any of these dishes, as I didn't try any of them except for the Shaken Sirloin and Eggs. The sirloin in that dish was ridiculously smothered in flavor and nice and juicy. Even though I didn't try the other dishes, I did have a few observations. First, the Pork Chop entree looked amazingly delicious. The pork chops were some of the biggest I had ever seen. They definitely aren't your local Vietnamese restaurant pork chops, which are flattened to the CORE. The Red Snapper Filet seemed like it was lacking a bit as the size of the dish was pretty small. The last dish was the Pho, and well, it is what it is. It's a nice, big bowl of soup with rice noodles mixed in and some meat. Throughout the evening the service was just impeccable. The waiters and waitresses were always on time and there when we needed them. They were all very courteous, said everything with a smile and just where you needed them when you needed their service. I can't say enough about the fantastic service that we had. The bottom line is, not only is the food excellent, but even though it was slightly higher priced that other Vietnamese restaurants, it was worth everything we spent on it. read more

So good! The pork chop, pho, drinks, and service. If you want flavorful food and good drinks come here. I had the pineapple drink and it hit all the senses. The smell of the thyme was divine. I came with my family that includes a toddler and teenagers. Everyone left full and happy. I wish they had a second restaurant. I need a district Saigon in Ozone Park/Howard Beach. There are no Vietnamese restaurants near us. Thanks again and we can't wait to return! read more

District Saigon - Drink to go. So good I had to get another one to take home. - Vietnamese Near Me - Astoria, New York

I really should review immediately after I go places :'( On the bright side, this means you're saved from one of my super long reviews! I really had to write this though because even though it's been almost a year, I still vividly remember the sheer beauty that was the pork belly + lotus root in coconut broth entree. My friends got the other entrees that were admittedly quite good; I even went with a Vietnamese friend who said this was pretty decent - not as good as her parents' cooking, but since I don't have Vietnamese parents, this is pretty solid for me. :) I'v never had the pork belly + lotus roots in coconut broth before, and it was a revelation to taste this clear broth made from coconut WATER instead of coconut milk. I've never heard of cooking with coconut water, and it tasted so clear and flavorful and pure. The pork belly was deliciously fatty (avoid if you don't love fatty foods) and the lotus roots complemented the chunks of meat really well. I would 100% go back for this. The ambiance was really nice and upscale - pretty modern and hipster (oh Astoria gentrification). I would definitely come back for a date or a casual dinner with friends. read more

Love this restaurant. Good menu, very well prepared food, good portions and solicitous, friendly service. One of my favorite dishes, Shaken Steak and Eggs, is or WAS delicious until the last time I had the dish. The flavors were there but the meat was tough, almost inedible. I hope that was a one time thing and not the restaurant trying to fight inflation and keep prices down with a cheaper cut of meat. Better to raise prices a few dollars. read more

Food and service was 10/10. will definitely be coming back!! Recommend trying the beef broth.

The service was great. Really friendly staff who let me get seated at a table while I waited for my friend to arrive and then stick around to chat after we were done eating. Pho unfortunately was not good. The bowl wasn't big enough to contain all the noodles and broth. It lacked depth except for the overwhelming flavor of star anise. Spring rolls were decent, a bit greasy, but still tasty. My friend ordered the pork chops. She had a hard time chewing the meat. If service and ambiance matter most, this place has them. If you want authentic pho, I'd skip. read more

I recently had dinner here and I was quite impressed! My party of four was promptly seated on a busy Saturday night, which I appreciated. The appetizers were delicious, especially the spring rolls. While my friends got pho, I got the short rib fried rice, which was piping hot and meaty. What I especially loved was the Negroni that I ordered. It was perfectly made and gave me just the right buzz. I will be back! read more

Was craving pho and decided to go to this place. Glazed taro fries was overdone and super crunchy (tasted a little like cardboard). The sauce was good tho. The wrapper for the spring rolls were too thick and didn't have enough filling compared to the wrapper. The pho was okay, not your authentic pho. The soup itself didn't have the hearty taste pho should have. Pork chop was way too salty but the portion size is huge. read more

Just landed back in NYC after a long business trip, wanted something really hearty and soul soothing since it was pouring rain outside and my innards needing some warming up. Whipped out my trusty Yelp app and proceeded to look for pho that was close by and District Saigon it was! Through the solid wood door you come into a beautifully decorated and modern clean space. It was a bit too Darkly lit for my taste but regardless still tasteful. We made it to the restaurant with literally 23 minutes before closing but they were still happy to seat us. menu is very concise and to the point which I loved. Since it was our first time here, ordered the round steak and Angus brisket pho with the addition of tendon, oxtail, and roasted bone marrow. A bit decadent and over-the-top for late night eats but seriously well worth it. Meat portions were generous, each type of meat themselves were perfectly prepared in the style they were intended to be: braised, roasted and boiled. Is it worth the $25 pricetag, absofreakinglutely!! Will definitely be back not so close to closing to try the rest of the menu very soon! read more

Price is on the higher end but portions are huge so it evens out. Good vermicelli and smoked pho which is not something you can get at most pho places.

SO GRATEFUL FOR A LEGIT PHO SPOT IN ASTORIA. Their broth is LEGIT, and I've tried many different places across the boroughs including sunset park BK. Their broth is rich and deep in flavors. You can taste the notes from the diff spices and aromatics that's used. There's complexities to the flavor which is absolutely required for good pho. Additionally their service is always on point. This is our go-to spot for both delivery and sit down. Delivery is always fast too. They rarely ever mess the order up or forget anything. I highly recommend their brisket and round eye pho. I always order additional veggies and tendon. Their veggies comes with variety of broccoli and kale which I really appreciate. Their tofu satay app is also bomb. read more

I had heard great things and was afraid it would not live up to expectations, but it most certainly did. The restaurant itself has a pretty interior and the staff is friendly and efficient. Prices are very fair (we paid $38 with tax for an appetizer and two entrees) and portions are generous. We started with the summer rolls which were delicious, very fresh and the peanut sauce that it came with was to die for. I got the obama bun cha which was delectable. The pork was juicy and very flavorful. They give a large serving of vermicelli and it goes nicely with the sauce the pork is in which is slightly sweet and tangy. I would definitely go back! read more

Looking for a Vietnamese restaurant in the area, we stumbled across District Saigon. We had to wait a bit to get in since it was almost full, but the food did not disappoint. We got the rice crepe and District Pho. The crepe did need the sauce but overall it was a good sharable plate. As for the Pho, it was fantastic - excellent broth, amazing bone marrow, and wonderful toppings. A great meal for a cold day and I would highly recommend the Pho. Besides this, the staff were accommodating and the ambience inside was quite good. Definitely a restaurant to return to! read more

Don't have much to say except We feel robbed. dinner was $75 for food that was not so great ! I Came here on a Friday night meal and we were pretty disappointed in every single dish we ordered. Not sure I would come back. If you want to go to a place with nice decor and drinks then come here. I have had better at other place in the east village read more

Overpriced average pho bowl. The size wasn't very big and the broth was pretty bland. You had the option of adding oxtails but it would have pushed the price up to about 20$. Definitely wasn't worth it. I would have much rather traveled a little further for a cheaper and more tasteful bowl of pho. We also had the banh xeo and that was average as well. It wasn't crispy or hot when it came to our table. Very disappointing read more

I do not see that many Vietnam food place around the area. This is one of the best pho place in queens. We arrived a bit later than the normal lunch time around 3pm, so the place is pretty empty. We sat towards the outside area, but the it is really spacious inside. I can imagine during busy hours there are a lot of people will come here. I have ordered the bone marrow pho, which come with brisket and meat ball. The soup is so flavored and definitely warmed me up in a cold weather. The bone marrow is basically fat, which made it quite oily, so I personally wasn't a big fun of it. But they gave you great portion, so definitely will make you full after eating it. My boyfriend ordered the steak one, the meat is amazing! The overall experience was amazing and definitely suggest you try the food. It had a bit of a drama towards the end. The waitress charged the table next to us on my credit card, which was not something I was expected. I normally don't check the bill, but this one time when I check the bill they gave me the wrong bill. They ended up fixed it by refunding me, but it took a lot longer to pay the bill than expected. read more

Saturday night: cold and windy we were immediately seated. We were given menus and had glasses filled with water right away. Our server was very attentive yet not hovering. - Spring rolls: very crispy with nice flavor - Summer rolls: TO DIE FOR - the peanut sauce that accompanied them was very tasty. Not too sweet but had a subtle kick. - Chicken Pho: tastes like your grandma was in the kitchen all day working on it. A generous portion of shredded roasted chicken accompanied with a tasty broth and yummy noodles. Served in a bowl the size of your head. - BBQ Chicken: you can't possibly go wrong.
