All of the stars! I literally had to stop myself from posting this from the restaurant. I went for the first time tonight, on date night w my boyfriend. He to the BBQ Bahn Mi and I got the chicken vermicelli. I couldn't stop just saying "this is so good" the entire meal. I kept hunching over. It was so filling and I kept saying "okay one more bite" but then having more than one more. The service is also great. Go here. It's so good. read more

I'm now hooked on their chicken curry (without bell pepper) soup with a side order of fresh baked bread.

I placed an order via Yelp/Grubhub, with typed out instructions for food allergens, and they STILL got my order wrong. When I asked them if they will be able to fix it, the non-binary looking teenager told me to "take it or leave it." Okay sure, here's my review of SaiGon Bistro: If looking for Vietnamese food, go around the corner to Pho Huynh Hiep/Kevin's Noodle House for better authentic food & hospitality. Take it or leave it read more

I eat here before I go shopping at Fry's Electronics. This is the place to go eat at before and after you shop at Fry's Electronics. I love eating here because they have a TV. I ate everything on their menu. Worth eating here during your shopping need. read more

Saigon Bistro - Vietnamese Near Me - Concord, California

This restaurant is tug away in the same shopping area as 99 Ranch. It is not as crowded as Kevin's noodle house and we wanted to give it a try as we purchased their Banh Mih sandwiches a while back and they were pretty authentic and good. We came here and sat down at a booth with a TV right on top of us. I got a mid bowl of Pho to share with my son, a spring roll appetizer to share and my hubby got their Vietnamese omelet. The srping roll was good and they gave us decent numbers of shrimp. Their peanut dipping sauce is also very rich, which I love. The pho with raw beef is very satisfying and we got a lot of rice vermicelli so it was perfect for an adult and a small child. My husband's omelet was a huge surprise because it is humongous! It comes with a lot of raw bean sprouts, basil, and sliced tomatoes to go with the light fluffy egg. He seemed to enjoy it very much as well. We would definitely return to try more dishes here as Kevin's can get really crowded. read more

Saigon Bistro - Shrimp Spring roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Concord, California

Happy Saturday! What happened to the warm weather we experienced just a few days ago? I got up this morning, and it was wet and cold. A perfect day for Pho! I decided to head over to Saigon Bistro in Park n' Shop. Saigon Bistro has been in Park n' Shop for at least 15 years. It had fallen off my radar years ago, and I recently rediscovered them when I had extreme cravings for mango smoothies. I would pop over there and get two for myself! Their egg rolls are flavorful and larger than others I've had. Today, I ordered a medium Pho Tai Bo Vien #34, egg rolls #11, and a mango smoothie. The food was delicious. The pho broth was very flavorful, and the beef was very tender. The egg rolls were yummy, and my mango smoothie was delish! I hear the avocado smoothie is great too. They also have banh mi sandwiches that are very tasty. Saigon Bistro is smaller than other local Vietnamese restaurants, but they maximize what they have. They recently moved the furniture around, and it looks great inside; they even have booths! As I was mixing my condiments, I noticed how clean everything was, including the various sauces and utensils (no sticky utensils). When I think of pho restaurants, I don't think of amazing service. It's more like, order, deliver, pay. I have to say that the service was exceptional, and everyone was very friendly. read more

I'm here in the Northeast Bay, at Saigon Bistro today. This is a fresh Veggie Spring Roll, Garden Roll, or Summer Roll with Tofu, Fried Calamari, and Veggie Bánh Xèo. I don't know what I like more, Gỏi Cuốn or Chả Giò. It wouldn't be Gỏi Cuốn, without Peanut Sauce. And Chả Giò is more for, Bún Bò Nướng or Beef Vermicelli noodles. I see some people out there try to bring their own rice paper to Korean BBQ or a Bánh Xèo spot, and I be like what the heck some people out there doing? I'm a purest. I don't do that over here. Lettuce always been exclusively for Bánh Xèo. And my favorite rice paper brand is, the premier Rose brand. Also there's nothing like a homemade Bánh Xèo, a restaurant can't exactly recreate some dishes that are meant to be home cooking. Like Fried Chicken, the debate over what to fry a Bánh Xèo been going on for ages. Skillet, Cast Iron, or Wok? The batter the Calamari was dredge in reminds me of Popcorn Chicken. It's not like the Calamari I'm used to from the Old Fishermen's Grotto, but it is what it is. The Bánh Xèo was descent, it's slightly thicker than what I'm used to, but it's crunchy and very Coconutty and still good. I was thinking this was going to be a 4.0 stars, this could be a 4.2-4.3 stars, but I give this 4.1 stars. read more

Saigon Bistro - Vietnamese Near Me - Concord, California

10/10 Dittos! TLDR; One of the best bahn mi's I've ever had! My friend recommended me the banh mi's from here and it did not disappoint! I decided to go with what the cashier said was the best seller for their banh mi, grilled pork. Service was extremely friendly and the banh mi was served really quickly! I was going to eat it in my car and it was perfectly packed to-go! Included little packets of sriracha and hoisin, as well as napkins which I appreciate. Overall was extremely delicious and was generously stuffed! I was only able to finish half and am excited to have the rest later for dinner. For only $6.50 this is amazing and extremely flavorful to satisfy your hunger on the go! I'll definitely be coming back and taking some of my friends here in the future. ^^ I look forward to trying the drinks on their menu next time read more

Customer servoce is not their strong suit. Placed an order for pick up was told by the gentleman on phone that it would be ready in 20-25 minutes. Went in to pick up and was told by manager or owner that no order was called in. Showed him my phone which showed a 3 minute call and he confirmed his number. He then called me a liar and yelled f--- you at me several times. I understand orders get lost or other issues occurred but this place didnt say oh we can do it now -- just f--- you. Wont be back read more

Ok I came back for the first time in 5 years and it has changed owners. I had the bun rieu and it reminded me of the original one they used to have here before the food went south! I just got my husband a banh mi and will report back, but from what I've seen from other orders it looks wayy better than before. read more

I've ordered here several times now and get the same thing which is the bbq beef banh mi sandwich.

Very authentic and delicious. Best Vietnamese food in Contra Costa County. They have a great selection of dishes besides the usual pho. My favorite is the bun riêu and the bun bo huề read more

Haven't found a good place with decent pricing and large portions since So-Cal. Nice to finally find a spot near.

Was craving a bahn-mi and tried theirs. My go to authentic bahn-mi is in the city. This was so disappointing. I got a bbq pork one and grilled pork one. Soggy soggy soggy. They pile the flavorless carrots and cucumbers on top. The sandwich had no flavor. The cilantro was so long. I also ordered the 'seasoned' deep fried tofu. Omg it was awful. It had no taste and was so dense and hard as a rock. Sorry Saigon bistro. I'll drive to the city to Saigon sandwiches in the TL for bomb ass sandwiches. read more

Some of the best Bahn mi in the area, great size and price! Chicken wings were good, pot stickers were a bit unusual.... filling was some kind of fish cake (?) and was sort of 'spongy' in texture. Dirty boba was good, too and Kiwi Jasmine tea was tasty. Service was pretty slow.... placed order and was told 'go wait outside, 10 min', but more like 20. read more

I ordered #9 and #45 on the menu to go today. I've got to go to the store and open the bag . it's the wrong order it's supposed the steamed pork patty with pate , I've received grilled chicken (#3). I called the restaurant right away to let them know. What I did not expect when I got home 30 minutes later.Here when I open the bag and found the broth base is all outside of the little plastic bag and some of it already soaked my bánh mì . I have to waste the sandwich and soup base. it ruined my dinner. read more

I don't know who's running the show there now but I love it! I can definitely tell the difference in all the dishes. After a couple of very disappointing experiences with delivery, I took a big break from them. I recently decided to start ordering from the again. I've now made three delivery orders of Banh mi, Bun and fresh spring rolls and each time has been amazing! If like me, you'd be disappointed in the past, give them another try. They've stepped up their game! read more

My go to spot for Banh-Mi's! Always very tasty and great prices! I normally get their chicken one but have tried the pork and beef one all of them have been excellent! My son loves their egg rolls! Definitely recommend! read more

Best bahn mi's! Saigon Bistro is hands down my favorite place & go-to to get bahn mi's. My favorite is the bbq pork. Their spring rolls are also great and it comes with both bbq pork & shrimp as a base. The prices for the sandwich itself are comparable to other spots. It's a bit of a bit or miss on bbq pork & pickled veggie ratio, but I've been completely satisfied more times than not. Recently they've changed to a restaurant that also serves sushi, so that's a recently new addition to the menu. My order has always been ready on time and the staff is very friendly! read more

This is my go to place, in Concord/Walnut Creek area, for Vietnamese food. Let's start out with the things that can be improved upon: This isn't the place where you should go to when you're in a hurry. The staff tends to be a little more leisurely and you will get frustrated trying to flag them down. With that being said, they are still very friendly. I think the more take-your-time pace of the service goes with the modern environment they portray. This isn't the place where you should get your milk tea (if you're a milk tea snob). Within the last half year, they introduced a milk tea menu that is comparable to Quickly. In fact, the color scheme almost made me think that they had partnered with Quickly. However, you will notice the cabinet shelf full of powdered flavors (i.e. Honeydew, Strawberry, etc.) that I believe they mix with tea to make their milk teas. I'd pass, unless you were just trying to fulfill a craving. Let's go with the reasons why I return to this place: This place has more variety of noodle soups. In addition to the beef, chicken, and seafood noodle soups, Saigon also has Bun Bo Hue, Curry Chicken Noodle Soup, Tomato Noodle Soup, Wonton BBQ Pork Noodle Soup, and Vegetarian Noodle Soup. They're usually the thing I go for, since they're a little bit more complex in soup base. This place has very fresh, made-to-order Banh Mi. I've tried the grilled pork and grilled chicken banh mi. $5.95 a sandwich, which is a bit more expensive than the Chinatown ones, but it's tasty, filling, and protects the restaurant from people who, albeit fine, sit around the entire day with their laptops. This place has great combination broken rice plate options. You can get purple rice substituted. You get an eggroll. I like variety with my broken rice plates and this place delivers on that. I think the overall issue, that I see by the reviews, is the service. And I agree that sometimes I get impatient waiting for the food here. But I come here, time and again, because of what Saigon Bistro has to offer. read more

This is based on the soup i had today. It was just BLAND, basically no flavor at all. I have been here in the past and ordered the same soup and it was so much better.

I usually don't leave a review because times are hard and leaving negative reviews impacts small businesses. This time around, i need to get my word out, hoping management sees this and train accordingly. This is ridiculous!!! Ive been coming here at least once a week on my lunch break. The food is good for the area, better than Kevin's. The service however is very lack luster, the server (young girl) ignores you even you made eye contact with her whether it's asking for the bill or more sauce. She acts like she doesn't like working there. I dont care if her parents owns the place or whatever the reason is that shes there, service is a must. Dining at an asian place is bound to be treated like crap but being ignored and treated like im nobody, that just crosses the line. Funny thing is, every single time I'm there, she goes into her tantrum. I haven't said anything to provoke her. The other servers, a younger gentleman and an older uncle answers right away, an action every person in a restaurant should automatically possess. If the girl isn't working there, I might consider coming back. Saigon Bistro, you've just lost a customer, a customer who loves Bun Bo Hue. read more

Got sliced beef pho and it was inedible. Genuinely threw the whole thing away. It smelled bad, tasted worse, I cannot believe that anyone is eating whatever that was because it was not pho. I have no idea about their other food or anything else but the pho. But lord the pho was gross. read more

After a long road trip from Newport, OR which took ten hours drive, we ended our trip here in Concord, CA where my brother lives. After eating mainly junk foods and luckily some goodies from Costco food court whenever we needed to fill up gas, everyone wanted a hot meal from a place that served food fast. My brother recommended this place which is located in a shopping center in the corner of Willow Pass, just a stone's throw away from my brother's house. We were promptly greeted and seated. We ordered several items but was able to take only pics of the pho and bowl of vermicelli because everyone were just too hungry to be bothered by "pic first before touching it". Anyhow, everything was delicious. The vegetables used were all fresh. The pho broth was very tasty but had fewer slices of meat compared to other places I'd been to. Spring rolls were crunchy and yummy. Will definitely be back whenever I visit Concord. read more

Not bad but not great either, probably won't be coming back just because I can get better pho and food for the same price. Fried wontons were crispy but the filling did not taste that good. Lucky for the red sauce they give with it, which is a blend of spicy and sweet sauce that made the wontons more tolerable. Pho broth was slightly on the blander side and for the first time, I experienced soggy pho noodles. Banh xeo was super crispy and big. They over stuffed the heck out of it with bean sprouts which I had to remove some. There was decent amount of shrimps and pork inside which is good. Restroom was very dirty with napkins and toilet paper on the floor. No hot oil, and the saigon milk tea was okay, just a bit bland to me as well. read more

This place has the best bun rieu in town. They usually come with shrimp paste, but if they don't, be sure to ask for it and dump that gold paste into the soup! We also like the bun bo hue here and the banh mi! Definitely the best Vietnamese restaurant in the plaza. read more

Came here with some of the girls after we attended a concert at the concord pavilion the night before. We were seated right away and ordered just a bit of everything! We ordered the pho noodles soup, spring rolls, and a banh mi BBQ that is. the broth and spring roll was mediocre.... taste the same just wherever you go and get this from. However, their bahn mi was DELISH!!!! Thank god I listened to the reviews and ordered one. They do not dissapoint! They are so tasty with all the right ingredients included in this sandwhich! The meat was very savory, the veggies with the jalepeno was great, and the light mayo on top.... PERFECTION! Extra star for the delicious bahn mi! Don't think I'll be coming back here for the pho but for the bahn mi's tho! DEF a fan and will be returning for those yummy thangs! read more

I haven't had the pho here yet. But I had the grilled pork bahn mi and grilled pork over rice. Both are good with decent portions. The grilled pork with rice comes with a few veggies and fish sauce. The bahn mi is a bit small but it has meat, carrots, radish, cilantro and jalapenos. The bread is a bit harder roll but soft inside. They have a huge drink menu of which I haven't tried yet. Will try the pho in the fall when it gets cooler. read more

This place really changed under recent new ownership. The pho used to be "home made" flavorful and fresh. Now the beef broth looks and tastes like it came out of a can. The spring rolls were bland and tasteless as well. The waitress did not speak English, and it was difficult communicating in getting our order right. My wife's grilled chicken bowl was greasy, dark meat and not fresh tasing. When the food quality and standards come back up, we can once again enjoy eating here. At this rate it will probably not be long until this place changes hands again, then hopefully the food will be better. read more

This restaurant is pretty straight forward. I've eaten there and done to-go orders as well. The staff is polite though a bit slow at times, especially over the phone. If you're looking for some good pho and banh mi though, this little hidden gem is for you. The prices are great and the take out was quick. The ingredients look/taste fresh. This is my place for comfort food. Nothing like a bowl of pho to help you chase away those sniffles. The portions are large, I ordered a small bowl and was very surprised. read more
