I have really enjoyed this place the last month. Their noodle soups really hit the spot on a cold rainy day. I don't eat out often but when I do I will grab a noodle soup and some of their other items like their spring rolls with the peanut dipping sauce. I am not well versed in Vietnamese cuisine, so from a novice palette their food looks appetizing and tastes delicious. read more

After a long hiatus, I made my return to Saigon Bistro with my buddy George F. On 07/01/2025. We got here at around 11am, just before the lunch rush. The interior looked pretty much the same as my last visit about eight years ago. They did a nice job keeping the place clean. We got an order of fried calamari, a couple bowls of Pho Dac Biet, and an iced coffee. The total, with a tip, was about $55. The calamari was so-so. I could tell it was the premade frozen stuff. The Pho Dac Biet was slightly above average. The broth and the meat toppings were decent, but the noodles were overcooked, which affected the overall experience. I hope they will correct that. Service we received was good. The staff were friendly. All in all, I would say they are average. Pho Lee Hoa Phat in Pacheco has a slight edge over them. read more

Don't pay with card because these people like to give themselves a tip when you leave a cash tip!!!! just took my family from out of state to dinner on Friday. Check my bank statement now and was overcharged because they gave himself an extra tip when I left a cash tip. Ridiculous never again beware!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wasn't even busy we were one of the two tables in the restaurant at the time. Had to ask for water. It wasn't like it was exceptional service. read more

Cozy spot with ample choices for Vietnamese food. We tried the crab Rangoon, Vietnamese ice coffee, bun Bo hue, & a large pho dac biet w/egg noodle. Everything came out within 15 min of ordering which was great! Not busy at all on a Sunday afternoon at 2pm either and staff were very friendly. We felt that our noodles in both dishes were cooked a bit too soft for our preference & the flavor of the bun Bo hue broth was on the lighter side and not spicy. Great portion sizes! read more

It's a decent banh mi that does the job! Around the concord area, there isn't many options and was craving for a banh mi. I was greeted by someone at the front who was super nice. Didn't take any pics of the interior but it looked like a good place to eat dine-inn. I ordered the grilled chicken banh mi and I noticed that there wasn't enough chicken or sauce for my liking but over decent banh mi. read more

I was truly impressed with the customer service that Tam gave me. He went above and beyond--offering to package each banh mi sandwich in its own bag, helping me label what was in each one, and even offering to carry everything out to my car. I've honestly never experienced such thoughtful service. He was incredibly polite and kind. The sandwiches themselves were fantastic, especially for the price. Everyone I shared them with loved them--and that says a lot, because they're very picky when it comes to banh mi. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommended! read more

Overall a 3 rating... The Bahn Mi sandwiches (#1 & 2) are good sandwiches in Contra Costa County. I would rate that a 4. I ordered a few sandwiches and unfortunately one of them had little meat and lots of pickled daikons & carrots. My kid got that one and was disappointed. Suggestion: please insure the meat ratio in each sandwich is the same. If I wanted more daikon and carrots (which I love), I would have ordered it that way or bought a vegetarian sandwich. The rice plate was ok. I rate that a 2.5-3. It was too warm to order pho so we had the rice plate instead. Would go back for the sandwiches but will ask for less daikon & carrot. read more

Best banh mi!! Pho broth was flavorful! ingredients were fresh! Will be back again and again!

It's been a while since I've tried this place since it is a little far from home but it still has the best Bun Rieu around (48. Tomato Noodle Soup with Tofu, Pork Patty and Mince Shrimp)! It is so fresh and has all the toppings for this complex but refreshingly delicious dish. I'll definitely be coming back more often for this :D read more

Saigon Bistro - Bun Rieu 48. Tomato Noodle Soup with Tofu, Pork Patty and Mince Shrimp - Vietnamese Near Me - Concord, California

A decent Vietnamese restaurant with a variety of different dishes. It is hidden in the back/corner, so it's easy to miss, since most of the stores and other restaurants are facing the other way and this restaurant's main entrance is on the side building. We ordered cream cheese wontons and two rice plates. One grilled chicken rice plate and one pork chop rice plate combo. The combo includes one egg roll and fried egg. The rice plates come with a side of soup broth, which was really good. Everything came out to about $35-$37, which was a really good price for everything that we ordered! Also, considering how big the portions were as well! Bathrooms were out of toilet paper, napkin dispenser was out (had to request more napkins, but servers were very prompt). There was a fly that was buzzing around our table, which made it annoying and difficult to eat our meal. However, food was enjoyable and we would come back again if we're craving viet food! read more

Compared to other Viet places in this area- the food here is 5 STARS. (It would be fair to compare it to the Viet food in San Jose) Food here is authentic and probably one of the best Viet places in this area. The star dish here is banh xeo (Vietnamese crepe) with crispy pork belly and shrimp. It was good and very close to homemade, maybe even better than homemade since the batter is extra crispy and can't seem to ever get it that crispy at home. It comes with a large plate of lettuce and fresh herbs to wrap the crepe and dip into fish sauce. I highly recommend this dish here- either as a shared app or entree. Another noteworthy mention is the bun rieu (tomato and crab soup). It's decent. The broth is very flavorful, but definitely ask for more shrimp paste and sate sauce on the side if you want the authentic flavors. read more

Saigon Bistro - Banh xeo - Vietnamese Near Me - Concord, California

Ordered takeout from here earlier this week. Food arrived on time and was good. My favorite was the grilled pork sandwich (banh mi thi nuong - $8) - juicy with fresh and finely chopped daikon vegetables, but the ham, pate, headcheese and pork patty (banh mi thit nguoi -$8) was a close second - it reminded me of an Italian BLT, except with delicious daikon veggies. Will be back for more. read more

You have seen the world "bahn" on menus before. It is the Vietnamese world for "bun" - as in bread - probably on loan from the days of French colonial occupation. The baguette used on a certain type of Vietnamese sandwich is a "bahn." The thick tapioca noodles in a certain crab soup are "bahn." You find more and more that "bahn" is a broad category. No wonder, then, that this crepe dish is a "bahn" too. Talkin' 'bout Bahn Xeo. "Bahn" means bread and "Xeo" is an onomatopoeia for the sizzle the crepe makes when batter hits the hot pan. The texture of the Bahn Xeo at Saigon Bistro is like a pane of glass on the outside and slightly more tender on the inside. Curious about its orangey yellow, I asked the waitress how they are made. She listed coconut, but gave an uncertain shrug when I suggested turmeric. It's probably turmeric. The bahn xeo is filled with pork that is deeply porky, five just barely overcooked shrimp, bean sprouts, and I believe vermicelli noodles. Next to the half moon bahn xeo is a mountainous thicket of lettuce leaves and fresh herbs. I'm not sure if this is protocol, but I lopped pieces of the xeo off and wrapped them in lettuce with herbs. Then, after dipping the wrap in the vinegar fish sauce (do forget the chili paste and a dab of hoisin), and sinking your teeth, you will have never experienced a more intense and complete mouthful of food. The bahn mi lacks pate, so its probably not worth your time. I'm sure the pho and bun bo hue are perfectly suitable. The bun rieu lacks the requisite crab; instead using some of the meats laying around from the other dishes. read more

This place has been here for as long as I can remember, yet I've never thought to stop by. It's tucked away in the Willow Pass plaza, but my search for banh mi brought me to their doors. The menu pics are all outdated so prices have gone up, but they're still reasonable. A large pho will run you about $13 which isn't bad considering other places are closer to $15 now. They have a good selection of appetizers but no chicken wings if that's your thing, like it is mine. If you're ordering to go, they do have a self ordering tablet at the counter, and then I saw a QR code on their front door as well. I'll probably call in my order the next time because it did take about 15ish min for two banh mi. They only had 1 to go order and 1 family dining, but they had already received their food so not sure what the wait was for. I always order the combo banh mi to try, which has all the Vietnamese cold cuts and pate. However theirs is just okay. It leans more on the savory end because the pickled daikon and carrots just aren't sweet enough to balance it out. The veggies and bread were all fresh though, and I loved that they put in a good slather of pate. The grilled pork bank mi was delicious though! The pork was sooo flavorful and tender so this will now be my go to the next time I come back. 2 banh mis will set you back $16 and some change after tax, which is great considering the size and freshness. In a world where banh mis now cost $13+ (outrageous), I'm thankful to find quality spots like Saigon Bistro that deliver the goods without breaking the bank. read more

Got their large-sized Won Ton Egg Noodle Soup Shrimp and BBQ Pork, and it was a lot of food in a ginormous bowl. I absolutely loved it! The broth was savory and the egg noodles were classic, reminding me of Hong Kong style wonton egg noodles soup. The wontons were just ok though in my opinion - the wonton skin kinda got too soft after soaking in the hot broth for some time. The shrimp were good and fresh, but they still had the tails on which I wasn't a fan of. But in general this bowl was super satisfying, and I would definitely order this again next time especially when I'm super hungry. Service was unfortunately a bit lacking in attention lately with the new girl as their server. It was so hard to flag her because she never paid attention to or even looked to the direction of any guest tables. She would deliver food to the customers and then walk straight back to the cashier area/kitchen with her head down, not checking on or looking at the guests at all. We had to yell out loud to ask for the check last time. read more

Their sandwiches are wonderful. Beware of ordering through Uber eats because I just got two soups and they were supposed to be sliced steak, but there was no steak in the order. Probably likely that they included it but the Uber eats driver Michael ate it. Either way I would Neveorder through Uber Eats again. read more

The enduring Saigon Bistro. The stores around this restaurant have come and go (especially during covid), and yet this restaurant prevails. I had a quick lunch, grabbed a couple of Banh Mi's on a different date and those reminded me why Saigon Bistro has the staying power in today's tough market. Grilled Pork over rice with eggroll and fried egg addon was my choice when I recently had a lunch here. I was surprised with the generous amount of food that was served. The pork chop was flavorful and the eggroll was delish. On another occasion, I had their combination Banh Mi to go. This IS a bomb Vietnamese sandwich. Copious amount of meat, bread, and veggies was truly appreciated. Their pork Banh Mi was delicious too, though the crunch of the baguette is lost due to the steam emanating from the pork, it is a very well made sandwich as well. Saigon Bistro probably has the best banh mi around these area imho. The price reasonable and justified. Having some serious Banh Mi's, Saigon Bistro is now my regular spot for work lunch. read more

Any and everything comin' out of this kitchen is straight up dynamite! I've had every flavor of banh mi at this point, and multiple times. They are EXCELLENT. Now that the cold weather has hit, I've been goin' in on that pho. Literally just had a bowl tonight. The wonton egg noodle pho has become my absolute FAVE! That BROTH!!! It has me in a chokehold damnit! And then later, in a food coma. Such flavorful broth with tender meats. And I just effing love their wontons. So soft and melting in my mouth. Nom nom. And since ya girl has been cold and sickly as of late, this pho has been coming to my rescue often. I just love, love, loooove this place! They also have the best appetizers in life! Those deep fried egg rolls with the fish sauce WILL be the death of me. And those delicious crab and cheese wontons?????!!! Please.... PLEASE! Somebody help me NOW.

11 years later, and I'm still ordering the same Banh Mi sandwich. Park n Shop has changed a lot since my last review with Saigon Bistro. Service hasn't changed. Location hasn't changed much. Except it's more quieter since Fry's is no longer next door. The food presentation has improved through the years to keep up with the local competition. The quality of food tasted the same. Maybe that's why I still come here? I'm probably going to be a customer here until my wheels fall off. read more

I've been here twice and ordered the Pork Chop over rice and have thoroughly enjoyed myself! This is my go to Vietnamese dish and am so glad that I found another spot where I can get one. The price is under $13, comes with a little salad, very good amount of rice and tons of pork! The orange fish sauce is so yummy, I put it over the little salad. It almost always is two meals for me, which is so awesome. I love getting this and then I know I will get to take it to work with me the next day :) The area doesn't seem like the best, it's toward the back of the Joann's/Fry's old parking lot. But once you're in the restaurant it's fine! Just not the kind of place you want to go walking around afterward. We will be back! read more

Haven't been here in a while. 2nd time ordering crepe from here 1st time was a few years ago. Anyhow I asked for shrimp which I assume it would be only shrimp. Nope. I'm glad I opened it up before digging in. It hadslices of nasty pork in it. Uggggghhh. Maybe I should have been more specific but on the menu it was option and it listed the combo with pork. Perhaps next time I'll tell them. I would come back and try their noodle soups and bowls. Had a bahn mi sandwich here before. Decent for the price when you're craving one. read more

Saigon Bistro - Crepe with shrimp. Really huge! - Vietnamese Near Me - Concord, California

I've ordered takeout from this place at least a half a dozen or more times over the past 2.5 years and tbh it's been hit or miss. I always get the same thing, pho tai (thinly sliced rare steak that cooks when you add the hot broth) and sometimes when I'm not being good about calories a Boba tea. The pho itself is usually pretty good, the broth is not too salty or oily like some places, and the meat always seems fresh. At $11.50, it's decently and competitively priced for a medium bowl and they're generous with the basil/sprout/jalapeño add-ons. It's only a dollar more for a large pho if you can eat all that (it's a lot). The large version is really just a handful of extra noodles from what I can tell. Everything else looks the same size, etc. because I've tried both versions. A few things I don't like, hence the 3 stars, buried at the bottom: - That they only serve beef versions of pho. No chicken option. Not a huge complaint but personally try to limit beef & normally go for chicken. - The basil/sprout/jalapeño add-ons, though generous, maybe it's because it's the day I order which is usually end of the week, idk, but at least 50% of the time the basil & sprouts taste really sour/almost expired. - I've tried the Thai tea which is decent, but every single time that I've ordered one of the boba teas, there has never been any Boba in them, ever, and they taste kind of strange or chemically, unlike Boba milk I've ever had before so I'm not sure if it's a powder mix or different tea blend but if it was my place I'd definitely lower the price of the Boba teas by at least a dollar and state underneath on the menu something like, Boba drinks do not contain Boba because the menus as they are right now are wrong and misleading. I haven't tried anything else on the menu so I can only talk about those things. Other reviews may paint a better overall picture so don't base your decision to try the place or not solely on my little review. ‍ read more
