No frills, but clean & authentic place to get Vietnamese food in Dormont. It's street parking, but there are some side streets nearby too where you can park for 2 hours without a permit. Our server was friendly and prompt and the food came out quickly. I had a craving for a chicken vermicelli bowl and the one here totally met my expectations. It was fresh, crisp, and perfect for a summer day. The veggies had a good crunch to them and the sauce was tangy and bright. The chicken was tender and the spring roll was very crispy. I thought the portion size was fair for the price. Can't wait to go back.

New Saigon GOOD: Top Notch Banh Mi sandwhich - serious wow factor BAD: Nothing much - a little pricey over 10$ but worth it I had a disappointing meal at another local place. Rather then finish it, I tried New Saigon nearby. I'm really glad I did. I wasn't sure what to expect with the banh mi sandwich, but I went for it and it was great. The meat was tender. The sweet and spicy sauce was excellent and the real star actually was the cucumber slices which gave it a cold, refreshing crunch. I just may put cucumbers on all my sandwiches going forward. i highly recommend new saigon in Dormont.

Shrimp Pho
Jamie D.

Shrimp pho with add of sirracha sauce and extra lime because i personally like my soups lemony. It was delicious. Yumm, Yumm, yummy

Grilled Chicken Bun (a cold vermicelli noodle bowl) soooooo damn delicious.
Margaret G.

I've been looking for the most authentic Vietnamese food and so far, this is my clear winner. I can't wait to have their pho. So far I've had their bah mi, which was delicious and not dry, and their grilled chicken bun (vermicelli noodle bowl) which was MASSIVE and so fresh. I had a few questions about what the blood tofu was on the menu and if the bun bowl was a vermicelli bowl. I can't tell you the answers, honestly. Waters were refilled promptly. The ambiance is meh. Parking can get a bit crowded all over the street but we parked in a residential area and it was free to do so.

Grilled Pork Bun

Food was fine, not exceptional, priced a little high imho. Big portion/ Server was a nice young man polite and accommodating when the order he delivered wasn't right. I'd really give it 3.5 but that's not an option.

Grilled Pork Banh Mi
Julie Anna E.

Bahn mi was pretty good! Got takeout from here and the bahn mi with pork was the star for me. Also got chicken pho and it was just okay. The broth and the veggies were great but unfortunately the chicken was dry and the noodles were all clumped together into a big mush (I got takeout) noodles were in a separate container. Good packaging though overall. Would give them another chance for dine in

Crispy Spring Rolls
Mijee S.

The daughter was craving pho so after searching yelp, decided to come to New Saigon and it definitely hit the spot. The broth in the pho was good. The best dish was the salt and pepper shrimp which was the best we've ever had, we've had a lot... so good that it was devoured before we could snap a pic. Excellent service.

Wonton hu tieu
Ulyana K.

Solid spot for Vietnamese food. Not a ton of this cuisine in Pittsburgh, especially in Dormont, so it's nice to see a spot like this. I got takeout. Honestly, I think the rating would be higher if I went in person. It's the kind of spot that doesn't really work well for takeout but may be quite good in person. Regardless, I got the wonton hu tieu and the pineapple boba milk tea with strawberry and passion fruit popping boba. The wonton hu tieu was quite unique. If you get takeout, they have the broth, the noodles, and the vegetables separate for you to assemble. The plastic container the noodles are placed in is too small to fit all the broth they give. Flavor wise, the broth was strangely a bit sweet. There were too many green onions for my liking as well. The noodles were alright, but nothing special. They were also somewhat clumped in the takeout. The wontons were the best part. They had a nice amount of filling (which seemed to be some kind of meat but I can't say which kind). The other meat on top was pretty fatty and just not really my favorite but it's nice to have a double meat portion. The boba was very good, though. It was a tad bit on the expensive side, but the quality was great. Sweet and perfectly milky. The boba was fresh and had great flavor. All in all, this is a solid spot. It's just that I think it would be better in person than with takeout, and the broth wasn't exactly my favorite. But the boba was great and I'm willing to give it another shot.

I have never in my life has such over fried tofu. Painful to eat. Side note- when packaging to go pho, the vegetables should NEVER be packaged in the hot broth. They should be place in the container on the side. Why would I want to eat soggy wilted vegetables ? And with that being said, the vegetables take up so much room in the broth container- how much broth am I even getting lol? Really utterly disappointing food for $20 a meal. General tso tofu is inedible and the pho is pathetic. Also, hot food in styrofoam is literally a major carcinogen as well as just horrible for the environment. A+ for you.

to go Spicy Lemongrass Pho - Bun Bo Hue
David V.

AUTHENTIC BUN BO HUE!! oh my gosh, i finally found some authentic vietnamese food here! I got the spicy beef noodle soup and it has all the authentic rustic components that reminds me of home. my parents are vietnamese immigrants and i grew up eating really good homemade vietnamese food. I recently moved to pittsburgh and was sad the vietnamese scene was lacking. happy i found this place! i know its authentic when it has the pork blood cubes and pork hooves. thank you for doing it right I ordered to-go, but will be visiting in person to try their pho

Rare Beef Pho
Alexandra A.

we came during the last couple hours on a sunday and the owners were super welcoming and made sure we were well taken care of during our visit. the food was great during a cold night and we came out satisfied from our pho cravings. we got the rare beef pho and shrimp fried rice which i'm sure are popular choices. the pho came in a large bowl so me and my friend were able to split one order in half, and still came out full.

Combination Pho
Chris G.

I'm torn on rating this place, because on one hand the food is absolutely terrific. On the other hand, however, the customer service is absolutely atrocious. I came to dine on 1/14/2024 and the restaurant was pretty busy. However, that shouldn't mean customers should wait 30 minutes before even being acknowledged by the staff. It's very clear that the staff cannot handle busy times efficiently. After being sat, it took another 20 minutes to get a drink (after reminding the server twice) and my appetizer was already out at the table by that point. The crispy chicken dumplings were exactly as the menu described, with 8 stuffed dumplings to an order. I ordered the combination Pho and was pleased with the taste and portion size. It came out very hot, there was plenty of beef and the broth was very hearty. The restaurant itself is quite small so it does get cramped inside very quickly. It's not ideal for large parties and there isn't much room to move around in the restaurant. So be prepared to have people standing right by your tables if there's any sort of wait. Overall, the food was enjoyable but the service left a lot to be desired. While the staff was working hard, it's hard to look past their lack of professionalism and customer service during the busy rush. I would recommend going here maybe for lunch when it's less busy, but don't come if you're in a rush or hurry.

Pho is my love language! And my favorite place is New Saigon in Dormont. It's a warm restaurant on the corner of Potomac and Glenmore. I usually park on the street but there is also a pay lot behind the restaurant. Take out is fast and the inside booths are cozy. I usually get a hot tea, crispy spring rolls and pho. The deep broth, fresh herbs and crunchy bean sprouts are flavorful and satisfying. Truly one of my favorite places to warm up in Pittsburgh.

SOOOOOUPPPP DUMPLINGGGGGSSSS!!! Sorry, I had to get that…read moreout! The soup dumplings are worth shouting about here. In a perfect spot in the South Side Works, Nan Xiang is such a hot spot in Pittsburgh food. Michelin recommended and bringing a wealth of knowledge from the brand, the restaurant feels like it's been perfecting their business model for decades. The interior is stunning with a very open concept across different levels of seating and modern decor. As you walk in, you are greeted by not only the hostesses but the takeout robot. We came at 6:00 on a Friday and were able to be seated immediately, but it did fill in by 7:00. The menu is overwhelming with delicious options, and the menu comes with pictures of every item to help you see what you are getting in advance. BUT... don't lose sight of the namesake, order soup dumplings! We decided to each get our own order and to split two sides. - Nan Xiang Soup Dumplings - the broth is perfectly balanced with seasonings and the dumpling itself is perfectly tender and delicate. This is definitely a perfect starter and a staple all in one! - Chicken Soup Dumplings - the broth is a perfect chicken soup, probably the best flavor I've ever had. I wish this could be jarred and sold separately. The complexity of the flavor highlights the mastery of soup dumplings - Lucky Six Soup Dumplings - the perfect way to try them all, but watch out.. it will leave you wanting more of each. We almost ordered another set of Truffle & Pork Soup Dumplings. - Pork & Vegetable Wontons in Spicy Peanuts Sauce a pot sticker dunked in peanut sauce. yes, the peanut sauce is aggressive at first, but once you chew through the flavors mesh very well - Shanghai Stir-Fried Udon - okay, so maybe straying from soup dumpling is smart too. These were fireee!! The noodles were perfect and the sauce was delicious! Great amount of bok choy and pork too You have to go!! It's worth it!

I got the Stir-Fried Rice Cakes w. Seasonal Seafood (4/5) and chicken soup dumplings (4.5/5). I…read moreliked the rice cakes more than I thought I would since I usually don't like softer items, like udon noodles. However, they didn't have a lot of seafood. The service was good (4/5), and the interior is nice and modern (4.5/5).

We've been meaning to try Bae Bae's for a very long time and I'm bummed that we didn't try it…read morebefore it's latest reinvention under the Bar and Supper Club banner. I wouldn't really call this a supper club to be honest but the place definitely carries a house music bar vibe and the back bar area and seating is very dimly lit, perfect for cozying up and enjoying a drink late night. The ladies' room was so dark, I mistook it for a storage area because I could only make out a white ladder in the corner that was being used as cute shelving. The place is seat yourself. Our waiter was not super friendly and didn't offer to give us napkins or anything when our wobbly table caused our drinks to splash all over the place. The cook served our chicken with a big smile and happy interaction and we really loved his personality. The bartender also stopped by to bus our table and he was very pleasant as well. We enjoyed the perfectly fried small plate cauliflower with the plum sauce and the fried cheese/garlic wonton bites with the sriracha mayo spicy dipping sauce. The fried chicken breast on the large plate was slightly overcooked with a maple gochuchang sauce that was very bland. We were so thankful that the large plate fried chicken came with a side salad to offer some respite from the heaviness of the fried dishes. It would have been great to have some side acidic or fresh vegetable options like Kimchi or something. Maybe we tried the wrong dishes and there are other not fried things that are delicious? The dirty martini cocktail was just so-so, not really much flavor at all, but the mojito was very good and refreshing. It's probably a good late-night place for a bite and drink.
