    Vietnamese stir fry
    Tim C.

    We really enjoyed our lunch at Saigon Bistro. Tucked in a shopping center, this is a gem to find. Staff was very nice and helpful with recommendations. We settled on a wide variety of dishes. Fried Rice, teriyaki beef, beef stir fry and dumpling ramen. All were very good and good portion size. I had the stir fry and was similar to a pad Thai. I was impressed with the amount of beef in the dish. All the way to the bottom I got meat. Was very well seasoned. Everyone else enjoyed their dishes. The dumpling ramen was very good. Only thing different with it was the mushrooms. They were super sweet. Had not had that before. Don't miss this place next time in Lakeland.

    First time visiting Saigon Bistro with my family being friends and familiar with the restaurant. I love a good chicken pho bowl and Saigon had really impressed me with the quality of dish and flavor. Lakeland doesn't have a lot of places like this and i definitely recommend if you're in the lakeside area. They also have boba tea drinks which is hard to find in the area. Absolutely a well deserved one stop shop for any cravings.

    Came for lunch ... Maybe one of the best Asian food in Lakeland.. fresh ... good service and quite and nice ambience. Recommended!

    Food was delicious and very fresh. The side jalapeños and sprouts were a nice fresh complement. The service was amazing, very attentive. Honestly I would have rated 5 stars, but was slightly irritated that my egg which I requested was a 4 extra dollars I knew would be plus but not the cost of a carton...and was then overcooked and not runny.

    My proteins, their Pho broth!!

    Excellent PHO! I've eaten here prior to this review and the food was great. Had a bunch of leftover proteins in the fridge and wanted soup for dinner. I had a light bulb moment while in the area so I dropped by to grab some of their fantastic broth to recreate my own version of their delicious Pho. Did I sat their Broth is amazing? YUMMY!

    Saigon Bistro is a perfect little spot for some tasty Vietnamese cuisine. My wife and I arrived here with friends a little later on in the evening for dinner. We walked in and got on the list for a table inside the packed restaurant. There are a few outside tables and those are first-come, first served. Eventually, one of the outside tables cleared up and we grabbed it. Staff came around to clear it and then we waited. Our server never came around. We finally had to send someone in to flag him down and he did finally come out. Once we got our orders, the service was fine. This place was pretty busy. Luckily, it was a little cooler outside and a lot quieter. My wife and I both ordered Teriyaki. She got the chicken and I did a combo of chicken and beef. The meals didn't take too long. They Teriyaki comes with fried rice and veggies. Everything was hot and fresh. The rice and veggies had great flavor. The chicken was good but the beef was a little overcooked, leaving it chewy. I covered almost everything in Yum Yum and enjoyed this meal. It was a decent portion but not so much that I couldn't finish it. I left full but not stuffed as you would be from a hibachi place. All in all, we'd go back. This place is busy and it's for a reason. It's reasonably priced tasty food.

    Why haven't I come here sooner? Why didn't I come here sooner? WHY did I not come here sooner?!? *smacks self in the head* Saigon Bistro is a getaway for your taste buds, heart and belly. It is so good and I am upset with myself for not visiting sooner when I had been wanting to. Their food is such authentic Vietnamese, and none of it is real fancy but it's just wonderful. I am especially obsessed with their pineapple fried rice, in which they literally cut a pineapple in half, fry the rice and protein and veggies together and stick it right back into the pineapple to serve to you. Holy moly, I am going to visit again soon to have that because it's perfection. The curry is good here, and so many other options. Oh yes, and a fun boba tea while you wait too- what's not to like?! Saigon is such an unassuming gem, as it doesn't look like much from the outside, or the inside really. It's not a super cute or fancy place, but the product makes all the experience. Plus, it's located in Lakeside Village, so you can shop before or after your meal or hit up a movie, walk around and enjoy the area. Saigon, I'm coming for you!!

    Menu as of 7/3/24

    Terrible service by owners!! Apparently max table size is 6. Any more than that, they just add extra chairs so everyone would be squished in. No way! That would be uncomfortable for the entire meal and barely any space for food as everyone would be on top of each other. If they are going to charge 18% gratuity for parties over 6, why can't they provide full table seating for the larger parties?? Menu prices are also higher than what they show online!! David was the server and he was great and unfortunately had to follow instructions provided to him by management. Food was fine but pricey! Average of $18 per entree and $7-$8 for drinks. And on the drink topping, the menu shows multiple choices but when ordering, no jelly options as they've been out for days already. Fine, had the boba and it was soft and not chewy, probably over cooked and old as well.

    wings and a yummy drink, green tea cucumber mojito
    Sasha C.

    Came in for a late Saturday lunch and was greeted and seated immediately. Service was 5 and food was a 4. Value of the food was more a 3.5 because the prices are quite expensive for the quantity and being a visitor from NY - these prices are high. We tried the wings which were very saucy but fairly tasty. We had the special sirloin pho but that was unbelievably small and you will leave hungry. At least give a bigger bowl with more noodles and soup to justify the cost. We had the pho combination and that was delicious, better than I had anticipated but the chili sauce they provided didn't hit the same notes as sriracha does. We also had the combination fried rice which was full of ingredients, but lacked flavor and quite honestly didn't have much rice! We're glad we stopped by to try this out for lunch and the area was quite quiet for a Saturday.

If you've never had Vietnamese Iced Coffee, HIGHLY recommend it. They make it just like every Vietnamese restaurant and it's the best iced coffee you'll can get. I ordered an iced coffee, eggrolls, and bo luc lac (shaking beef) for eating in and another coffee and a banh mi to go. The food was so good in the restaurant that I forgot to take pictures. Very tasty and this was a great hidden gem in Lakeland. I went with coworkers as a party of six. Menu clearly states parties of 6+ have tip automatically included. It was and I just wish I could've tipped on top. Place was nice and spacey but casual. You can talk and have conversation. Not a quiet, "upscale" kind of place but would still be great for a date night. Plenty of parking because it's in a huge shopping plaza. Price point is pretty good considering how other places are priced. Overall, if you like Vietnamese food (or have never tried it), this is a great spot to check out. Highly recommend and love finding this spot in my city! EDIT/UPDATE: The food and service is still 5 stars. I took a star off because I found out the tips don't go to the servers. I saw this on a recent visit. Will definitely come back for the food and service, but I won't be tipping. As a former food service worker myself, that doesn't sit right with me.
