OK, I know that it was a huge shock when Kim Ba closed. After all, it had been around for many years and was famous for its range of homestyle Vietnamese dishes. But guess what? Saigon Bistro's now in that exact spot, and I'm betting you'll love them too. Let's dive in! The closest English translation for Goi Dac Biet is probably "combination salad" and indeed, this intermingling of squid, jellyfish, pig ear and shrimp may at first seem curious - but after a bite or two, your "hmmmm"s will start sounding more like "mmmmm"s. In a similar vein, snails are much prized in Vietnamese cuisine (as a former French colony this may not be too surprising) and Saigon Bistro offers several different ways to try them - for example, drenched in silky coconut sauce, or bobbing in a tamarind-kissed hotpot with some Bap Chuoi (banana blossom) and Rau Muong (water spinach) to keep them company. Canh Ga Chien Nuoc Mam, or plump fried chicken wings with a fish sauce-based dressing, is another permutation you probably weren't expecting to see. But have I ever steered you wrong? My point is that Saigon Bistro's the perfect place to experiment a bit, so have a look at that menu and see what sounds yummiest to you on your visit. With that said - I do realize that sometimes, the old favorites are the most enticing. And thus, it will probably be a great relief to hear that the dishes you already know and love will thrill you just as much at Saigon Bistro. It's always fun to wrap some grilled meats and veggies in a little Banh Trang (rice paper) and you can choose from several possible platters here, whether you prefer soft pork sausage, lemongrass beef, sizzled shrimp paste, or a combination thereof. Com Ga Ro Ti (roast Cornish hen) is a moist, meaty mouthful here, especially when sided with an array of crisp produce to cool things off a bit. And of course, they also have Pho. My gosh, do they ever - I think I noticed at least ten varieties on my last visit. But really, who's counting? The ever-present rice bowls and noodle plates of course make appearances here too, as you might expect. Yes, no matter if you're super-keen to branch out, or maybe not quite there yet, Saigon Bistro will still suit your every need. read more

Best Vietnamese Restaurant I have had in Denver! The food is authentic and delicious! There are so many options to choose from it was hard to choose for my first time! I recommend the coconut snails, steamed clams, hu tieu dac biet, bun bo hue, and Thai tea! Cassy was such a sweet server and very helpful! The restaurant is very clean and modern! I am excited to return next time and try other selections they have to offer! read more

Randomly picked this spot to eat because we did not want to wait an hour and a half for Tasty Pot. Once I walked into the restaurant it smelled so good so that was a good sign. They have a good variety of items. I was happy to see they had hot pot to satisfy my craving. I order the lau thai. Flavors were on point. My boyfriend ordered bun bo hue and it was delicious! Way better than what we get back at home. I asked the server what her favorite boba spot was and she was happy to share her favorite spot. We really enjoyed this spot. We will be coming back whenever we come visit again! read more

First time trying Saigon bistro. I was happy with the pho and shrimp spring rolls I purchased. Both were delicious and fresh. I will be bake to try more items read more

I stopped in a few days ago for a quick lunch and ordered a noodle bowl with grilled chicken and eggroll. Service was efficient and friendly. The food I had was good, but not great. Everything in the bowl was fresh, but my main issue was with the small amount of herbs. I'm used to noodle bowls coming with a good amount of cilantro and mint. The menu said that mint is available upon request. Ok, I get that not everyone likes it. So I asked for it and my noodle bowl came out with about half a dozen or so small mint leaves and no full sprigs of cilantro ( I think there was a very small amount of cilantro chopped into in the bowl, tho). What makes a noodle bowl really good (for me, at least) is a lot of herbs. I suppose I could have asked for more, but I figured that since I had already asked for mint and received such a sad amount that why bother. Like I said, everything in the bowl was good and fresh, but it just wasn't what I was expecting especially in an area that has so many competing Asian restaurants. Also, I'm one of those uncoordinated people that can't get food to my mouth with chopsticks so I use a fork. They provide plastic forks and spoons for dine-in. And plastic cups for water. It works, but it's not ideal. Atmosphere is bare-bones - clean but not what I'd call a 'date-night' kind of place. read more

We ordered delivery from Saigon Bistro. Everything was packaged very well and was super fresh and tasty. We had the Hu Tieu Kho, Stir Fry Tofu Noodle Bowl, spring rolls, and crab cheese wontons. Everything was really fantastic from the main dishes tto the sauces and brothy soup!! We will definitely be back! read more

I did an online order for pick up. Came in 25 mins later and my order is ready to go. I got bún bò Huế and a special noodle bowl. Both are delicious. read more

In town for business and luckily found this restaurant right down the street. The food is good and service was also good

They just reopened as a new business and I dig the changes. The biggest change is they really expanded the menu options and added different booze as well. The decor is a little more modern but they could've done more to modernize it. They also added friendlier staff. Definitely gonna be my favorite place to eat around Pacific Ocean Market! read more

I went dormant from doing reviews for places, but I tried this place and I had to come review. The food looked better than the picture on the menu and tasted even better than how it looked. The service was efficient and and food came in fresh. I got plate 53 and I came out with food left to spare! Can't wait to go back! read more

Just great food and ambiance in my opinion. Best pho soup in town and I've tried plenty of them.

Great food for great prices! My sister and I order from here anytime we want something tasty and quick

Add another great restaurant near Pacific Ocean Market. We have eaten her a few time and the service is always good. They accommodate our stroller with our 6 month old son. My entire family asks to go here instead of the places closer to Park Hill. We really love this spot! read more

The place was nice and clean and they also make sure their bathrooms are kept clean. The staff were friendly and attentive. This place is a great place to eat good Vietnamese food with great service! read more

Saigon Bistro - Combination Rice Noodle Bowl #36 - Vietnamese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Best pho broth in Aurora! You can taste the love it is made with. The spring rolls are large, fresh, and tasty. Nothing here is disappointing, I highly recommend enjoying hot pho on a cold (or warm) day from this place. read more

Service was very good. No complaints about that whatsoever. All my food had the slightest off flavor. My spring rolls were good, but something just tasted slightly off. My peanut sauce for the spring rolls was ok flavor wise, but something again tasted off. The chili sauce in the clear bottle had the same taste. Like an old moldy water is the only way I could describe it. Overall my combination rice plate was ok. Large amount of meat, but could have used an extra plate to cut the pork chop on. It was placed on top of huge pile of rice and there was no room to cut it. Definitely not the worst food I've ever had, but I won't be returning because it wasn't that great and I know of way better spots. Not a fan of this plastic spoons/forks. Kind of just kicked it down a notch experience wise, even though that's not a huge deal. read more

Was in need of a cure after a night of sitting by the fire pit sipping on IPAs and vino.... our go to is usually Pho. We decided to try some place new and ended up ordering from Saigon Bistro. Our 5 y/o had the veggie fried rice with no egg and the adults had the veggie pho with veggie broth. We were not disappointed. The flavor of the broth was delicious it had a sweet taste to it and the rice was amazing! Can't wait to be able to experience dining in....... read more

Usually I'm really hesitant when eating Vietnamese food other than my mother's, but this place reminds me of home! I had the Hu Tieu and left not even a drop of broth in the bowl. Everyone working there was really accommodating and made sure that our experience was the best. They also were happy to recommend other dishes for us to try, and I really enjoyed everything. I will definitely be making this my go to spot for my Vietnamese food cravings! read more

Way better than the first time I tried. When I came here for the first time, they still had the old sign and menu. Things definitely have changed for the better. Simplified menu, clean interior and great food. It's more authentic than some of the other places I have tried out. It looks like they also do catering as well. read more

First time customer to Saigon Bistro I had a terrible customer service moment with them as I tried to pick up my order. I walked in and there sits my order I tell them my the name and show them a screen shot of my order and they tell me there are no orders in right now. I described the food I ordered and asked them if the one on the table was mine the girl Said sorry we have to make sure your not stealing the food. This made me wonder if I was a different race would I have went through that. read more

Good food great portions. Wait staff needs a little work after all they see you eyeballing a drink menu you would think they would ask you if you want one. Also asking if their is anything else before bringing the check might be a nice touch read more

The best, freshest, most authentic Vietnamese food I've found (after traveling extensively in Vietnam). Incredible! We love to bring friends and family here to celebrate any occasion. When the food arrives, all conversation stops and is replaced by a chorus of ecstatic "Mhmmms" and "soooo good." So fortunate to have such an excellent restaurant nearby. Wish them all the success and happiness in the world. read more

First time going here. Best pho I've had in my life. Order the crab wontons. Amazing prices and so good!

Terrible service! I went there on a Sunday afternoon around 2 p.m. and there were no less than half a dozen tables with dirty dishes stacked high. It was quite obvious that they were short-staffed. One can only imagine the chaos in the kitchen....... read more

The best customer service to go with bomb pho. Had a huuuge order cancelled thru grubhub and they delivered it themselves. Food was delicious and absolutely worth it read more
