    Vegetarian Pho & Chicken Pho

    My wife & I love this place! All of the food is great. Kevin & the staff are so kind & very attentive. We ordering to go or delivery the food still holds its flavor & heat. Highly recommend. We visited Vietnam earlier this year & Saigon Bistro always brings us back.

    Nice, reliable Vietnamese food in a neighborhood that doesn't have a lot of authentic Asian food. I've had their Curry Vegetable Stew lemongrass stir fry before, and both were delicious. My sister really enjoyed the tofu mushroom banh mi she had and said the bread was nice and fresh and the sauce was just the right ratio. Overall good spot. We've come here during the summer and winter, and during the summer there were a bunch of flies inside so that was annoying. No complaints when we came in winter. Will definitely be back.

    Came here for dinner. The ambiance is enjoyable and good for conversation. The Service is on point and attentive. We had: * Spring Rolls: crispy and fresh. Taste good when combined with the sauce * Pho Beef combo: round steak, brisket, meatballs, tripe, and tendon. I'd say the portion is kinda small vs the biased places that i get in Chinatown Manhattan and Flushing Queens. The ones that i get in NY are much more savory than here. I guess I am subjectively biased. I'd say the only difference between this Pho is that the broth tasted natural and without any msg. Otherwise, wish it provided more proteins... Street parking should be available but depending on time and date it might be hard to find

    Beef Combo Pho. 2 stars. Insta/Beli: @amei_eats

    (Beef Combo Pho: D) - The beef combo pho is the highlight pho dish will all the cuts of beef including tendon, tripe, eye round, and meatballs. Unfortunately, despite being the most complete pho on the menu, I felt that the fundamental basis of the dish, the broth was significantly underdeveloped. The flavor was light but soothing when drinking it alone, but once its added to the noodles, its diluted and too bland to taste the hard work of infusing those rich spices. Furthermore, the eye round was packaged with the broth, so it was significantly overcooked by the time it made its way to home from the takeout order. At almost $20, I felt that this dish was unfortunately not well executed in comparison to other places I've tried, although it is one of the better places in the Jersey City area.

    Pho House Specialty Noodle Soup

    We're new to the Jersey City Heights area & this is a solid pho spot. The pho is more on the lighter end and isn't as savory as to what I'm used to back in Flushing, NY but nonetheless, still good and satisfying. The owner is so nice & staff is very attentive. The spring rolls were pretty good too, just wish it came with more lettuce to wrap them with. So far, we've been back every 2 weeks :) and will continue to come!

    The pad Thai is not good I've never had orange noodle in pad thai? Very greasy, meat not cooked with noodle. No tofu, almost no peanut Get something else! this is not pad thai

    Decent. Packed differently than other pho spots I've ordered from but the broth was pretty decent. Good amount of herbs for seasoning.

    Hooray For Thai Bay!…read more Authentic, Affordable, and Made with Love -- Thai Bay is a Must-Try! Thai Bay is one of those rare mom-and-pop gems that makes you feel like you've discovered something special. It's a tiny spot with just one table, clearly designed more for takeout -- but don't let the size fool you. The food here is phenomenal. The menu is small and selective, but that's what makes it so good. Every dish is made fresh to order with high-quality ingredients, and you can truly taste the difference. Nothing is overly greasy or bland -- just clean, bold Thai flavors that hit every craving. Their curries, stir-fries, and noodles are all standouts. Portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. You can tell this family puts pride and heart into every meal they serve. Whether you're a Thai food fanatic or just looking for a delicious, no-fuss dinner option, Thai Bay will not disappoint. Support this amazing local business -- your taste buds will thank you!

This place has simple Asian stews and soups and noodles and congee. It's pretty good. I've eaten here twice now and it's a lot less off-putting than the barbecue stand with the hanging Meats. The standard is good and the prices are good. It's inside the 99 Ranch Market which has a pretty awesome food court.

The Asian Kitchen covers all your chinese fixes in one spot. Sure nothing will blow your mind here but the sheer variety is impressive especially for jc standards and hopefully brings more & higher quality Chinese food to the area. Dim sum stand kicks off one side with a decent selection of your classics running 3/2.50. A congee & noodle soup bar is next for plowed by a chinese bbq stand with roast duck, pork & chicken. Lastly the stuff your face ayce (or pack) into a box for under $8 with choices like spare ribs, salt & pepper prawns to name a few over the over 20 items to pick.

    A Decade of Love on a Plate: A Local Favorite That Punches Above Its Weight…read more This place is the definition of a neighborhood gem--the kind you almost want to keep secret, yet can't stop yourself from praising. Cheap and cheerful on the surface, it punches way above its weight class, delivering inventive, clean, Asian-inspired food that's masterfully cooked by clearly skilled hands--and made with real love. I've been coming back year after year for most of this restaurant's 10-year lifespan, and that consistency is no accident. Every dish tastes intentional, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying, with a clear goal: to feed people love on a plate. It's a super veggie/vegan friendly that easily wins over even my "meat and potatoes" husband--who happily cleans his plate every time. In an era where genuine hospitality feels increasingly rare, Perry single-handedly restored my faith that quality service is not extinct. Warm, attentive, and authentically kind, Perry makes every guest feel seen, welcome, and cared for--without pretense or attitude. This is food that nourishes, service that uplifts, and a place that keeps you coming back not just for the flavors, but for how it makes you feel. A true neighborhood treasure.

    I've seen this restaurant circling my YELP for the last few months and put it on my "want to try"…read morelist. This place is absolutely solid! If you're looking for good flavorful food options, this has got to be on your "must try" list, I genuinely do not think you'll be disappointed. I ordered the blueberry lemon iced tea, maitake mushroom medley with the option of udon noodles & added chicken, the coconut curry with the option of ramen noodles and the rice pudding with caramel sauce for dessert. First things first, my absolute FAVORITE thing about this restaurant is the food contains no GMO's no preservatives, pink Himalayan salt to season and NO REFINED sugars- only agave and palm sugar to sweeten. I WISH I would've known about this spot sooner JUST for that detail alone. I am always on the hunt for a place that offers refined sugar free options, and with that comes this level of safety knowing what I am consuming has a heath standard/holistic approach to meet and me not having to feel guilty or worrisome after a meal. Absolute 10/10 in that aspect. I saw a few reviews mention the blueberry lemon iced tea, as someone not even a fan of lemonade I decided to give it a try. Let's just say, I was slow sipping my drinks to not finish it all and avoid getting another in the same sitting lol. It's well balanced, not sour, blueberry flavor is present and knowing it's sweetened with agave led to guilt free pleasure. Would recommend everyone to try it, even if you're not a fan of lemonade like I am. Another mention, lemonade tends to make my throat dry, due to its sourness and tanginess and that didn't happen at all. Think the blueberry was more prominent than the lemon, it was really enjoyable. The curry ramen was a highlight! If your a fan of curry, I think you def have got to try this. I actually didn't get it (my partner did) because I didn't wanna be let down, but it was absolutely delicious. I got the maitake medley udon noddles with added chicken and what a blast of flavor. It had veggies, mushrooms, chicken, udon, eggs, kimchi and was extremely flavorful. I was very surprised that each element of the dish had its own flavor and spice that really jumped out, but paired well together. The least favorite thing for me on this platter was the eggs. Just your standard egg, I'm a fan of soy-marinated eggs on my noodles and not a fan of regular boiled eggs, but they are always an added protein plus! One honorary note, is the kimchi. I like kimchi, don't love it, but this was the best kimchi I have ever had. I even ordered a side to go. Another cool thing is the food is cooked fresh, right in front of you. Tbh, we were the only ones in there at 6 PM and food took quite a while, but I appreciate and prefer freshness over quickness always. The rice pudding is light and the homemade refunded sugar-free caramel addition makes it so much better. As there were only two options of dessert on the menu (rice pudding & matcha ice cream) I decided to give it a go although I'm not really a fan of rice pudding. Was it amazing? No. Would I get it again? Possibly. This place was on the pricier side I would say. My bowl of maitake mushroom w/chicken (added chicken being a $6.50 dollar up charge) was $34. Worth it for that price point? Not really, but good none the less. I also ordered a small side of kimchi (the small clear containers) and that was $7 which I think is crazy, but also it was good. For a better price point, I might've asked for a jar lol. Customer service- the workers were nice, but not really personable, which I don't really care for much, but bringing this up because there was this sense that maybe I shouldn't be in there or they just possibly didn't want to work. I tipped nonetheless, but for being the only couple or people in there I thought we would be greeted by everyone, just a simple acknowledgement, but it felt more like we were bothering them by walking in. I understand that people have their days and you have no clue what someone is going through personally, but it was distinct enough to mention- especially as someone who never really comments on the customer service aspect. I see through it cuz the food was great! Something about it was also just a let down, but I can't put my finger on it. Although it was good, I don't see myself frequenting this place. Maybe the price point is deterring me, but I do think it's worth a try!

    This is a very quirky restaurant with great food…read more It's fun for a casual night. The restaurant is run by one guy who is the chef and waiter. You have to wait until it is your turn for him to cook your food. The menu is confusing and difficult to understand, but basically it is pad thai, noodle soup or a crepe all with your choice of protein. We had the beef crepe and chicken pad thai. Both were excellent.

From the moment we walked in, the owner personally seated us and ended up cooking our food himself. He has a quirky, memorable personality that adds to the charm of the whole experience. It's the kind of place where you can tell the food is made with intention rather than being rushed out of a big commercial kitchen. The dishes were packed with flavor and tasted very authentic. You can really tell the ingredients and spices are balanced the way Thai food should be -- bold, savory, a little spicy, and deeply satisfying. Everything we ordered had great texture and presentation as well. Overall, it was a unique dining experience with authentic flavors and a memorable host. If you're looking for a polished corporate restaurant this isn't it -- but if you want something personal, quirky, and genuinely delicious, Prince & I is absolutely worth visiting. Would definitely come back!!
