Maui Pho is STILL one of my favorite restaurants in town! I remember when they first made their way…read moreto Bakersfield, I was excited because when we moved out of Delano we would still drive back to visit their old family owned restaurant. Mama Lynn makes the best food ever! I think her cooking definitely plays a big part of my childhood and the reason why I love Chinese food, I always compare any other Chinese food to hers and hers always wins. I'm not gonna lie, I do miss the Ming location and the drive thru, but I get it... this new location looks a lot nicer and Maui Pho was not meant to be a drive thru restaurant since their restaurant isn't a fast food restaurant. I recently celebrated my birthday here and there was 9 of us and Maui Pho was able to take care of a big party. The restaurant inside is really nice, super clean and I absolutely love everything on the menu. I don't think I have eaten anything here that I did not like. They have combos if you're dining by yourself or if you're with friends/family and eating separately or they have family style items also. If you haven't come to visit their new location yet then you need to check it out. There's no issues with parking like when they were on Ming. If you're in a rush I wouldn't recommend this place because this is not a fast food restaurant, but if you do have time then please come because it's super delicious and worth the dine in experience.

It's somehow every time I come to Bakersfield that I start craving Asian food. Thankfully, there…read moreare some decent options and new ones that continue to pop up throughout the city. I was craving pho and decided to give Saigon Bento a try. It's a little confusing because there's a Saigon restaurant and then there's this place, Saigon Bento. There's also a Saigon Bento #2. Apparently Saigon restaurant has been around for forever and is highly recommended, but was much farther, so I decided to come here instead. I honestly just like the meatballs in my pho and they were able to accommodate just this instead of their other preset dishes. It was good and packaged well for takeout! It was ready super quickly!

Let's start with the pho, since that's technically what's advertised: the noodles here have given…read moreup on life before they even reach your bowl. Somewhere between the kitchen and the table they experience a full existential crisis and dissolve into a noodle-flavored fog. You don't eat this pho so much as you drink it with regret. Then there's the robot. I want to be clear: the robot is trying its best. But a robot is not a coworker, it's a Roomba with delusions of grandeur, and pairing it with exactly one (1) visibly overwhelmed human does not equal "efficient staffing," it equals "understaffed with extra steps." I've seen this establishment's entire org chart and it's one guy and a trash can with wheels. The Vietnamese coffee and salted cold foam, though? Genuinely incredible. Immaculate. The only reason my card has ever been charged here more than once. I racked up a small fortune in reward points on the strength of that coffee alone -- and then went to redeem them, only to discover the website has apparently also fallen into a noodle-textured crisis and is completely down. So now I have points sitting there like Monopoly money for a bank that closed. Great coffee. Great foam. Genuinely inspired idea for a business. Just... catastrophically executed, like someone had a beautiful vision of a pho franchise and then handed the keys to a single tired employee and his robot intern. America needs a real pho franchise. This is not it.

We ordered dynamite shrimp, the garlic orange wings, pork katsu Khao Soi, and a Garden salad. The…read moreportions were very generous and everything tasted amazing. The wings were a little sweet for my taste but I won't fault them for that. They were perfectly cooked and glazed to perfection. The service was extremely nice and hooked me up with some chili oil when I wanted my Khao Soi to have a little more of a kick. The ambiance is nice and is great for a casual date night. Pro tip: Try out the sunrise mocktail. It's deliciously refreshing.

They also have nice happy hours and plenty of food and drinks options. Got the spicy edamame which I highly recommend, the shrimp was good definitely shareable. the Bonchon Wings were really good. It had the spicy and sweet mix. I recommend that. there were 5 of us and got separate checks. It took long to figure out the checks despite writing the specific items we got. It was probably by the fourth time that It was figured out. Service nevertheless was good but this took a good 20 mins or so.

Simple booths and tables, unlike the linen covered chairs of their sister restaurant D&D Fire Cuisine (same owner)!. Very clean and the service is beyond friendly! For our first visit we ordered: Combo Chow Fun Mixed Veggies with ShaoXing sauce Beef Fried Rice This location is more casual than the other, but the food seemed a little better : more authentic to me - and we took it to go! We will definitely be back again.

The servers are friendly, especially Dorris! The lunch specials are a bargain - soup, main dish, choice of rice, and an egg roll. Price depends on what the main dish you are ordering. The food is good, nothing amazing, but good. They seem to get their dine-in orders to the tables pretty quickly and I get tea sometimes with the lunch specials. They do not have fountain drinks, but cans of soft drinks. They have nice flatware, glasses, and the decor is modern and comfortable.

The service here is just terrible.. the guy at the register is so rude. I first thought it was just me but he was rude to everyone that walked in that door. Maybe it's a known fact that they treat the customers like shit here and that's why everyone gets the food to go maybe? What a shame. Let's give our business to other local restaurants that deserve it.

Great menu, but I wasn't so hungry so just ate from my hubby's plate (! ) The garlic edamame was really good, not overwhelming like I was afraid it would be, and the drunken noodles had a bit of a kick to them. Good portions and out quickly.

I was greeted by a smiling wait staffed who offered a seat at the bar. I'm so glad I took it. Watching all the selections come up made me even hungrier to try more things. They had 80s and 90s music playing and the crowd seemed a gentle, vibe. I will definitely return again.

We are really starting to love this place. We had a date…read morenight last night and a concert to follow. We walked about 2 blocks from Dignity Theater. The place only had a few people there, it was around 5:45. We were promptly seated at a stable for 2. The sever was absolutely awesome young man. Asked for our drinks and gave us time to review all of the sushi choices. After finally remembering the roll thanks to a phone a friend we placed our order. One of my now favorites is a Green Pinky. It is a Salmon sushi roll with a temper salmon in the center. It comes with a lightly spice sauce on the plate. We also ordered a sweet and sour roll which was a first for us. It was really good. Lastly we got the ex-girlfriend. This has been one of regular go ordered roll. The sushi only too a few minutes to arrive and was super fresh, the server checked on us several times to make sure everything was ok and we wanted another roll. We were in and out with ease to make our concert. Highly recommend the Green Pinky!!! It is outstanding. Also add a little of fresh wasabi to the top. Not need for soy. The fresh wasabi adds a little nose clearing kick with a great combined flavor. We have door dash at home and me at work and have never been disappointed. See you next time!!!!

Ordered Huevos Rancheros and it was just eggs no salsa on top or tortilla underneath like I was expecting. They said this is how they made it. U ordered over hard and has you can see with the yolk that wasn't the case. The eggs were extremely salty to the point I couldn't continue eating. The salsa they did serve me after requesting was delicious. The rice was good but my beans were ICE COLD! Like no heat to them. They had a Buffett going on while I was there but nothing look appealing just old food under a heat lamp.
