One of the better Vietnamese places in the area. All the food here tastes pretty authentic and I haven't found something that I don't like. My favorite dishes are the shrimp lotus flower salad, Bo ne, and the pho is also pretty good. Service is pretty quick here too and as someone with a peanut allergy they are always very cognizant of removing peanuts from my dishes. Overall good casual Vietnamese place that doesn't require a trek to falls church! read more

I've been coming to this place since it was called "Phorever". Under the new name Saigon Bistro, this place has become a spectacle , the inside is much more beautiful than it previously was. This is a great place, Food is spectacular, and the servers have always taken care of us very generously. I wish I had pictures all those years ago to show what amazing food they have. Please give this place a try, it has a special place in my heart for Vietnamese food. read more

Very tasty. We got the spring rolls and the stir fried lemon grass tofu. Both had a ton of flavor. Staff was attentive and very nice. The restaurant and the restrooms were clean. I would come again read more

The crispy eggroll (cha gio) was crispy and looks to be double fried, leading to a really crunchy outside. Good amount of filling on the inside and the fish sauce is sweet and tangy. The Chilean sea bass was super crispy with a thick crust on the top. The glass noodles looked a bit on the thin side and tasted more like vermicelli. Lovely scallions on top. The bone in short rib was filled with noodle and a good amount of meat. The broth was a bit too salty and didn't have as much meat flavor on it though. Still, it was very filling! Pretty quick and efficient staff. Nice clean location and quite minimal. read more

Wait a shame that this place has gone downhill since I have last been here over a year ago... the waiter we had was very friendly and the fried tofu appetizer wasn't bad. However, it took over half an hour just for the chicken glass noodle soup to come out. The soup was so bland that I had to add multiple spoons of chili sauce to give it some type of flavor. The chicken was also very dry and overcooked. The booth seats are also very loose so if you lean back at all it will move the other customers and vice versa with them bumping you back... My friend also thought her pho wasn't good at all. Just take a look around at the main demographic dining there which are mostly non-Asians. Just make the extra 20 minute drive and get way better noodle soups in Centreville. read more

The service was very nice for our first visit to this place. I came to enjoy our servers and they were very helpful. We tried Bone in Beef pho and fell in love with it. If i lived nearby this would be a regular place i would visit. The meat was so tender and the broth was extremely rich and flavorful. One companion had the Saigon vermicelli bowl and that looked tummy too. We had the watermelon cooler which was fresh watermelon puree not syrup, which was very refreshing. read more

The pho was delicious! The short rib pho had a really nice beef flavor. I got the bun Bo hue and the lemongrass in the broth really came through! They also had whipped Thai iced teas which was a fun little twist on the classic drink Our server was really nice and helpful and the interior was really spacious read more

Yelpers enticed me with their 4-5 star reviews. Located in a small strip mall, parking was easy. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. We had to move booths because the guy behind my seat kept butting his bench seat against my back. Staff always checked on us and food was delivered quickly. As far as food, I've had better IMHO, I am particular about my fried egg noodle with veggies and protein. The sauce didn't speak to me like other places. It was much sweeter and thicker than I'm used to eating. There was a good amount of fresh veggies and tofu. Hubby liked his massive bowl of Pho. The eggrolls were a tad greasy but they did have lots of pork filling. read more

This spot is nicely done, from the service, to the ambiance, to the food. My husband and I popped in before a flight and who seemed to be the owner sat us down right away, offering us water, and menus The restaurant itself was very modernly designed, and I knew the food was going to be good because a ton of Vietnamese locals flooded the place Great prices! I got the build your own pho bowl and my husband got the short ribs. The pho broth was sweeter and less peppery than I like but the flavor was still delicious, so I am keeping my review at 5 because that's just my preference in taste. The short ribs were tender and out of this world in my opinion. Amazing flavor. We also ordered spring rolls beef and shrimp and we both loved those as well We ate well and didn't leave hungry or broke. Will be coming back, thank you! read more

This is objectively the best viet place in nova. We ordered the lump crab fried rice, beef banana flower salad, and the chicken wings. The service was great. I remember we got pho from here in the past and that was gas too. Ambiance is bright, clean, and balanced feng shui. 10/10 read more

Our new go-to pho place. Good amount of seating and friendly wait staff. Bright and well lit space in a shopping center with plenty of parking. The crispy egg rolls are so hot and fresh and they have a hint of lemongrass that gives it a fresh touch. The pho broth is so 'clean' and refreshing. Not too murky like others and they give a good portion of meat and noodles. My favorite is the crispy egg noodles with beef and veggies. Good flavor, not too salty, and good portion read more

I got the house special pho Dac Biet ($17) and a viet iced coffee ($6). The food came out in about 8 minutes. The broth was quite solid, very savory and hot (temperature wise). There was a fair amount of meat and the overall quality of it tasted really well. The coffee was very solid. Sweet and strong , although it seemed that the to go cup had a bigger portion. Overall a very solid Vietnamese restaurant with good pho and coffee. I would come back again! Food(50%): 7.4 Staff/service(25%): 6.5 Value(25%): 6.5 Overall: 7.0/10 read more

Saigon Bistro: Where Even My Inner Vietnamese Auntie Nods in Approval As a Vietnamese woman with a lifelong PhD in judging fish sauce, I don't hand out compliments (or nuoc cham recipes) easily. But Saigon Bistro? Let me tell you--it's the real deal. My husband, my daughter, and I rolled in tonight expecting dinner. We left with full bellies and mild food comas, grinning like we'd just found parking in Eden Center on a Sunday. We ordered: Bun Bo Hue - spicy, soulful, and not for the faint of heart. The broth had depth, like it had been simmering through three family secrets. Pho Nam - tender beef, clean broth, and that lovely herby finish. Not too greasy, not too light. Basically, if Goldilocks were Vietnamese, this would be her bowl. Bun Bo Nuong - grilled beef over vermicelli, perfectly charred and beautifully balanced. My daughter tried to claim it as her own but... not in this family. Decor? Lovely and modern with just the right touch of Saigon nostalgia--no plastic chairs or fluorescent lights here. Servers? Sweet, fast, and genuinely welcoming. No awkward stares when I asked for extra herbs and chili paste. This place is a solid 8.5 to 9 out of 10. Subtle, simple dishes that are still full of flavor. No MSG aftertaste, no "fusion confusion," just honest, delicious Vietnamese food. And trust me: if it passes my standards, your taste buds are in for a treat. Verdict: Would recommend. Would return. Would fight my husband for the last spring roll. read more

My family and I absolutely love this spot. The restaurant is always clean, welcoming, and festively decorated -- it's got a cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. The service is consistently prompt and friendly, and the food? Always fresh and made to order. No matter what we try, the flavors are bold, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. They've officially become my go-to for fried rice -- nothing else in the area even comes close! Today, I ordered the Vermicelli Salad Bowl with Lemongrass and a warm jasmine tea -- the perfect comfort meal for a cool, dreary day. Just what I needed! If you're looking for authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and a welcoming atmosphere, Saigon Bistro delivers every time. Highly recommend! read more

This is in the old Pho Vietnam location but it certainly is NOT the same place bc the menu is amazing offering fresh spins on Vietnamese food and the classics. I went w the Bone in Short Rib Pho and it was SLAMMING! The broth was so flavorful before I even added lime, mint, basil, sriracha or anything. I checked in after I had wrapped up eating and saw I got a 20% off coupon which is awesome but I will need to use it on my next visit so I guess I'll have to come back lol! So happy the new owners not only have elevated the menu and quality of food but also gave it a fun decorative face lift to go along with the new name as well: read more

Exceptional flavor! I've eaten at quite a few Vietnamese restaurants in my life, and I think this is the best one. I was able to take a picture of the two rice platters I got, but not the pho and chicken noodle soup. Beef ribs platter: Ribs had a good amount of meat on them - Very good. Fish sauce is wonderful. Choose your own platter: Meat #1: Pork Chop. Meat #2: Shrimp Skewer. Meat #3: Sausage. Good portion. Pork chop was the best Vietnamese pork chop I've had in my life. Super tender and flavorful. Shrimp skewer was good, but FYI it wasn't on a skewer. Sausage was decent - I'm not a big sausage person, but my boyfriend picked this one and he really liked it. House Special Pho: Delicious. A tad salty where you probably can't drink the broth on its own but it had one of the strongest beefy flavors. Chicken Noodle Soup: This one was delicious as well BUT it was lacking in meat. I received very little for $17 and the shredded meat I did get was just OK. If bigger pieces of chicken were in here, it would be perfect! Didn't eat inside but it looked nice and was fairly cool on a hot summer day. Overall, this place has amazing flavors and puts care into their dishes. Friendly person at the front. read more

My husband and I wanted to try new local takeout (we live in Herndon) and came across Saigon Bistro after a quick Yelp search. I ordered the Vermicelli Pick 3 with grilled shrimp and the portion size was huge for takeout! 3 big skewers of delicious grilled shrimp and the pickled veggies added a nice touch. My husband raved about his Beef Banana Flower salad (I'm going to try the Lotus salad next) and also enjoyed his pho. Big portions all around and great takeout packaging. I'm recovering from being sick and appreciated being able to order a side of pho broth for $6. We will definitely add this to the rotation! read more

Food is soooo good here. The fried rice is smoky and flavorful, the fried tofu appertizer has the perfect salt and pepper mix. Pho is tasty too but does not stand out relative to other pho places.

I will gladly glom on to all the glowing reviews of Saigon Bistro with a 4 STAR rating for my first visit (a to-go order)...reserving the extra 1 star for future visits. Rarely do I give 5 stars right off the bat on a first visit - the place has to be extra special in all respects to get that (feel free to read my 5 star reviews!). In this case, I was dining solo for dinner and decided to go carryout and had a hankerin' for Vietnamese. What did I do? I turned to my trusty guide, Yelp - and found Saigon Bistro close by (right on my route home) with over 70 reviews showing an overall 5 star rating - SOLD. (Also I am always game for adding new high quality places to my repertoire.) I perused their menu (I like perusing a recent pic of the menu on Yelp vs an online menu which could have deceptively elevated delivery prices), checked out the prices and food pics and decided on a single to go item - their Classic (Grilled Meat) Rice Platter $18. I thought about adding an order of spring rolls but asked how much and was told $8 which I felt was overpriced so just went with the rice platter. I came to pick up my order (it was around 6:30PM) - the place is in the Community Plaza in Sterling off Rt 7 near Dranesville Rd - in same plaza as Joann's, Party City (that may not be there long since it announced its bankruptcy), Lidl and Burlington Coat Factory. The place is small inside. Clean but reallly basic and not very invitingly or impressively decorated tbh. The lighting is very harsh at night (bright vs warm white lighting), the tile flooring gives the place an overall cold vibe and the decor is uninspiring. I wish they would have made the inside more inviting and cozy. It's fine for what it is and if you don't care about ambiance and care more about the food, then all good. Generally I'm not a big fan of carryout for Vietnamese because it's so easy to mess up carryout Vietnamese dishes specifically but I took a chance and I have to say that my dish was EXTREMELY WELL PACKAGED. Impressive, truly. (Check out my pics and vid!) Food taste? EXCELLENT. Really good. I got the Classic Rice Platter which had rice (duh), pork chop which had a decent amount of meat on the bone and was grilled to perfection - not tough but tender lean and full of flavor, shredded pork and a meat cake served with a refreshing side salad and sauce on the side. Portion size was decent, price was a tad on the high side but willing to pay a bit more for the higher food quality. (FYI - difference between Saigon Rice Platter (vs Classic Rice Platter which I got) is a shrimp cake added but for the extra $3 not worth the higher price imo.) Service was pleasant and friendly. Easy in and out with loads of lot parking. I was told this place opened in Feb (2024). The place is a bit hidden in the plaza so I hope they do well - the high ratings and good reviews hopefully will help. I hope to come back with my crew to try some other dishes including Pho and Vermicelli Bowls. read more

I cannot rave enough about Saigon Bistro. Every time I come here and try something new, I'm more and more grateful that this restaurant is here. Every meal I've had is delicious and reminds me of my mom's home cooking. From the crab noodle soup to the rice vermicelli bowl, the flavor is delicious and portions are plentiful. My main complaint about Vietnamese restaurants in the nova area is that it's always pho and only pho. Vietnamese cuisine has so much to offer and has multitude of varieties of dishes. This is why I love Saigon Bistro so much and am grateful for their menu offerings. They give me a taste of the dishes I love from Vietnam. The staff is incredibly attentive and nice. They are quick and always notice when I'm running low on water. The ambience is beautiful with the lanterned hallway and clean interior. I honestly can't pick a favorite from their menu because every time I try something, I always say, so good! Try anything on their menu and you and your stomach will not be disappointed. read more

Very nice place, I really enjoyed my time here. great staff. food also tastes so good

As someone who grew up in Southern California--where Vietnamese food is practically a staple--I can say with confidence that Saigon Bistro is one of the most delicious Vietnamese spots I've ever had, and hands down the best I've found here in Northern Virginia. I had the phở and the pork spring rolls, and both were absolutely amazing. The phở broth was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The spring rolls were incredibly fresh and came with a custom-made house sauce that was unique and full of flavor--not your typical dipping sauce, and a definite standout. The ambience was also really nice--clean, modern, and welcoming. One particularly cool touch is the TV screens that show how the food is made in the kitchen. It's fascinating to watch the process, and it adds a sense of transparency and appreciation for the craftsmanship behind each dish. Our server was friendly, attentive, and very professional, which made the whole experience even better. I honestly wasn't expecting to find Vietnamese food this authentic and well-executed in the area, but Saigon Bistro completely blew me away. If you're craving real, high-quality Vietnamese cuisine in NoVA, this place is a must-visit. read more

I can see why this place gets good reviews!! I attended a repast here and the food was beyond good. It was catered and the service was impeccable.

The food was fresh and hot, the drinks were cold and refreshing along with warm great service. Kudos to the owners as I wish them great success! read more

Stopped in while traveling for a conference. The food was amazing! We tried the shaking beef-amazingly tender and flavorful without being over salty and the combination fried rice which was light and seasoned. The service left space for us to engage with each other but were quick to come by if we summoned. The restaurant was spacious and had comfortable booths as well as videos of the food and drinks which was helpful for those not familiar with Vietnamese food. Definitely check this place out! read more

Forgot to take a photo when the food first came out and already started eating lol so the pictures do not do this place justice! This place is a hole in the wall mom and pop shop. The food was the best authentic Vietnamese food I have ever had. The portions were BIG with a lot of protein and full egg rolls. The service was great as well! The servers were attentive and kind. I even got to meet the owner, Brian, and hear about his story behind opening the restaurant and his humble beginnings. I was very impressed with everything and was even more ecstatic to hear they just opened another location in CHANTILLY since it's closer to me!!!! Would highly recommend and would definitely come back again!!! read more

I've been to Saigon Bistro several times and this is the first time I ordered through Door Dash. Well, Door Dash forgot 1 of 2 bags of our food.
