    Solid bowl of pho when you're craving it. Got number 1 on the menu (combo pho) which had brisket, meatballs, tendon, really wished they had tripe. They'll charge you 2.99% for credit card. Around $15 for large bowl pho, large seemed like medium size to me.

    Wanted to try this place on a recommendation by a friend. She let me try their Shrimp Fried Rice and it was delicious. Shared parking lot with the neighbor Mexican restaurant. Large dining area. Extensive menu, several pages and sooo many choices. I ordered the BBQ Pork Spring Rolls and the the Vermicelli Special with Shrimp, Crispy Egg Roll and BBQ pork. Also had a "salad" of lettuce, cucumbers, preserved shredded carrots and daikon, peanuts and fish sauce. Prices are reflected for cash. Credit cards will in ur an additional 3% charge. The order was ready sooo fast. Staff was very nice and they offered me water while I waited. The food was delicious and next time I will order pho. Ok, bye.

    This place is just average. For some reason, it's very difficult to get good bang for your buck, delicious Vietnamese food in the South Bay. This place is average to decent in comparison to some other places in the South Bay, but if you compare to OC or other areas, this place just doesn't compare. Parking is easy with large shared lot off busy Carson St. the place is nice and well kept. Staff is very friendly. We were waiting for our to go order and the staff offered us water on multiple occasions. It's a nice place to enjoy a meal Price to food ratio is a bit off. Prices are on the higher end for what you get in terms of proteins. For to go pho, you can only order a large or the XL. I was expecting a good portion of meat for a combo, but that wasn't the case. Proteins, onions, cilantro are packed into one container. Bean sprouts and basil separate Also got the shredded pork and grilled pork vermicelli. Disappointing amount of pork for the prices. Flavors are fine and this place can satisfy your Vietnamese food cravings to some degree, but it left me wanting more. I may just be used to the large portion, good bang for your back, satisfying Vietnamese food in other parts of SoCal

    Great place to go for a hearty bowl of Pho. Generous portions of meat, vegetables and that savory broth good to the last drop! Fast service! Food arrived less than 5 minutes after our order and it was busy with the lunch rush. Love the variety of condiments on the table. Definitely a go to for a quick lunch.

    On a Sunday, my friend's family and I stopped in for some dinner. The restaurant is not a showy restaurant, more ma and pa kind of feel- so you come to dine. As they were frequent guest to this establishment, they knew what they wanted quickly- so we ordered readily and the food came out quickly. As for taste- the food was ok. I had the vermicelli with spring rolls and chicken. It was standard- but nothing special. The rest of the group had the Pho which is apparently what most people come for. The portions were not very big as well, especially in comparison to other Vietnamese restaurants. The service was very attentive. And the restaurant has a decent size parking lot.

    I never knew this plane existed until I found it on Yelp. Funny thing is, I've been to the restaurants on either side of Saigon Bistro and actually never noticed it despite their fairly large signage! The place is cute and the service is nice. Looks popular with the local regulars. I definitely want to return and try other dishes here.

    It's my fav spot if I'm craving Pho. It's delicious, and their tai tea is one of the best! They have good service as well, they're always nice! Prices are ok too!

    this pho place is one of my favorite pho places to go to! i've come here more than a handful of times and all my experiences were pleasant :3 they have ample seating and the place is always kept clean. the waitress is nice and their service is great! food comes out faster than you'd expect. the food here is great; whatever you order, i'm sure that all taste really good. i've had quite a variety myself and everytime i order something new, i'm left with a happy stomach. here's what i've tried: - number 1 pho my favorite here. the broth is clean and you get all the protein just like the picture in their menu. their rice noodles are never clumped up! - number 33 vermicelli SOO good here!! the vegetables that they use are fresh, making the texture of the dish so crunchy and enjoyable. the egg roll and meat also rly add to the flavor. - number 38 special fried rice a GREAT choice if you want fried rice. it has a bit of all the other fried rice choices: shrimp, beef, vegetables... if you want to share something with your company, i'd say this is the shareable plate!! - egg rolls amazing rolls... you can tell it's fresh because the rolls come out steaming hot! be careful when taking a bite; you might burn yourself. pair it with some lettuce and it is just magical. - thai tea their thai tea is such a treat after your meal. i'd always take them in to-go cups and it's so refreshing.

    It's a very mom and pop store vibe Pho. I enjoyed the atmosphere and how simple the interior design was. Pho was great, steaming hot soup and soft rice noodles. I ordered the combination and there were so much protein. We also took a fried rice to go and added more shrimp and it smelled like heaven during a whole car ride home. There weren't much toppings in the fried rice like vegetables but it was a decent dish. The parking is easy where it has its own parking lot shared with a couple of other stores. If you pay with card, they charge you a 3 percent fee. The service was great as they are attentive to get you water and food was served swiftly.

Saigon Dish is the first restaurant I've found near LA that prepares Bo Kho that way. My dramatic self stopped the employee to tell him how long it's been since I've had a Bo Kho that reminded me of home. Although it was sweeter than what I'm used to, it was still delicious. I was lucky enough to come in on a Saturday when the Banh Xeo was available. The crepe was light and crispy (now this dish I'm actually used to being a bit sweeter) but the nuoc mam really balanced everything out. I contemplated taking a container of the fish sauce home but I know what happens if that spills in your car.

I like to switch things up between pho and bun rieu, and that night I went with the tomato-based noodle soup. It was a bit mild at first, but adding extra shrimp paste made it just right. I also appreciated that the staff had no problem blanching the bean sprouts upon request just the way I like them. My husband ordered the grilled pork chop with rice, and they were happy to swap out the shredded pork for a fried egg. We also shared an order of shrimp cakes to start. The food came out quickly, service was prompt, and overall it was a great experience. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes on the menu.

We ordered the $16.99 lunch specials which I feel is a good value for all you get. Wife ordered the red curry with chicken which was delicious and I ordered the hot basil with chicken and they both came with soup and salad. The waiter made a mistake and told us the soup of the day was Tom Kha (spicy coconut) for which we were hoping but what was brought out was more of a broth. It had a lot of flavor though, I will say that, so I was pleasantly surprised. Salad was tasty with house sesame dressing and my hot basil chicken was FANTASTIC. The portion size was very good and I even took half of the chicken home to enjoy another time. Note the lunch special is offered from 11:30am-3pm Monday through THURSDAY....I am not quite sure why. They really should include Fridays. The Thai Gimlet with basil and lemongrass was a wonderful and creative cocktail...so good, I ordered two! Service was friendly and attentive. And of course, nothing beats that view. An overall wonderful date lunch!

Most people either in a rush or having too much of a good time and drinking will not notice or have time to check. Came here for Mother's Day 2026. Extremely busy. When the bill came they added and tacked on 5 EXTRA ITEMS that racked up to $200. Something was off good thing it was checked before charging the card. It would've been a headache. Immediately checked in with them and they made an excuse saying someone else must've messed up. Someone wasn't paying attention and made a mistake or they're adding extra items in there. That could add up imagine how many tables they get per holiday. I've been wanting to make a review of this place years ago also but never got the chance when I took my dad here for Father's Day and his birthday. Extremely rude customer service.

As soon as we entered we saw a sign saying you had to pay before being seated. Red flag!! Paying before you even had a taste of the food rang alarms in my head. Asking for a tip before service has even been rendered is the most ridiculous thing ever. Alot of places do this and it needs to be changed. Tip after services have been rendered. The workers here at least the 4 that I saw were all extremely young. They looked like they all belong in high school. They were very slow in anything they did. During my whole time here I the resturant the phone kept going off and they ignored it quite a few times. The inside of the resturant nice and clean, no complaints from me. My wife used their bathroom but the door did not lock so I had to stand outside which is annoying and not suitable for any ladies wanting to use the restroom. The food took quite a long time to come out. We sat down for awhile before the appetizers came out. 2 of us got the pho lunch special and it comes with a fried veggie eggroll. It took 15 minutes just to get 2 veggie spring rolls which were fresh and hot. When taking a bite out of them the inside was just mushy veggies and tasted like they were soaked in soy sauce. Then the spring rolls came out and they looked ok. After tasting they were decent. My only complaint about them is there wasn't enough peanut sauce, just a little dish not enough for all of our rolls. My wife ordered the combination fried rice. It came and it looked nice and hot. Upon tasting it for myself it tasted extremely salty. The proteins in it (Chinese sausage,shrimp,chicken) were almost inedible with the exception of the Chinese sausage. The shrimp was extremely over cooked and the chicken was cut thin and wide, like jerky and was just as dry as jerky. My FIL and I ordered the combination pho. The pho was extremely lackluster and was missing some components commonly in combo pho (pho dac biet) it was missing tendon,flank and meatballs (sometimes not always in pho dac biet) The meat to noodle ratio is extremely terrible, had at least 8 bites of noodles left and no more meat. The broth was so bland no flavor at all except for the over abundance of sweetness from the sugar. Being part vietnamese myself I love alot of pho whether its super delicious or just ok. This pho is not even in the "just ok" realm its terrible, its a disgrace to pho everywhere. Even if you are the type to put Hoison/Sriracha in the broth it will not save it. FIL says this place uses to be good but I guess things have changed since his last visit all those years ago. You could pick almost any other pho restaurant and I am 99.99% sure it would be better than here. If you value your time,money, and taste buds please stay clear of this place by any means necessary.
