What a disappointment! The soup was missing from my order as well as several vegetables described with the chicken. The chicken sauce tastes burnt. My "sweet and sour" was a tiny portion and the nuggets were so fried and greasy and not edible. I absolutely will not be returning. read more

Love this place! Great staff and family friendly. My go to is always the rice dish. We also enjoy the egg rolls. The ice tea is the bomb and wish they sold it by the gallons! read more

First time I came to the Saigon, I was in pain. The food I received was healing, it was so delicious.

A real sleeper restaurant with super yummy food. I was hesitant because of reviews but my friends said it was really good. I was totally impressed. The service was good, the place was bright and light, prices just right and everyone was happy with order (8 of us). Give this place a visit and enjoy. Something for everyone. read more

Used to eat here in the 2000's, but started working in a different part of town and lost touch. I ate here for the first time in probably 8 years, and was skeptical. Parking lot was pretty full, and the interior had a nice remodel since I was in last. I ordered Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio, as I do at every Vietnamese restaurant. I gotta say, I was really impressed. The food was fresh, the portions were large, and most importantly, tasted great! I see lots of issues here in the reviews, mainly with the service. I've never really had problems here, yes, the owner/cashier is a little gruff or unfriendly, but it shouldn't stop you from eating here. This isn't Applebee's, don't expect a hostess to fawn all over you when you arrive. read more

Bun no hue had a soapy / detergent smell to it, asked for a new bowl.. same thing. Rude service. Pho was below average, lacking flavor, meat and aromatics. Nothing spectacular. Decor isn't half bad. read more

I'm Vietnamese and my family likes to cook. When I want authentic Viet food, I can easily tell someone at home to make me what I want. However, when you're with a large group of people and each person wants a different dish, it's probably better to go to a restaurant. We had family from out of town over and since it was their last day in Wichita, we decided to have lunch at Saigon Bistro because it was spacious. My family told me to go first to get seats. When I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly server. She asked me how many people and I said 20. She looked confused. They put some tables side by side so that all 20+ of us could sit by each other. It was a disaster. It seemed like they were overwhelmed, which was odd because we've brought bigger groups here before. Maybe the workers were new. Who knows. I ordered a bowl of grilled pork noodles with shrimp and egg rolls. I was one of the first people to order. Thirty minutes later after everyone got their food there was still nothing in front of me except a glass of water (with ice, even though I specifically said I didn't want ice). The girl came back and asked if I ordered grilled pork noodles. I said yes and she went back into the kitchen. It appeared like they had forgotten to put in my order. I was hangry. I eventually got my food and was happy again. Food here is relatively cheap and the portions are big. I'm not sure how I feel about bringing large groups here though. Service is below average but probably not the worst either. read more

Visited this location yesterday & ordered their Bun Bo Hue. They serve it with basil, jalapeños, bean sprout & cilantro. The broth was very flavorful. I got cafe au da (iced coffee). Food & service was good. read more

New please we stop in to get a quick fix of pho. The place is okay we had to wait a little bit before they would come take our order. Once we got the spring roll out it was the greasy thing ever! read more

Bun bo hue was alright, missing some flavour and seemed to be covered up with color in the broth. The eggrolls were pretty good, nice size and good dipping sauce. The com tam was my personal favorite. read more

I think their banh mi is pretty good and cheap but the main reason why I don't come back or recommend it to anyone is because right down the street there is Pho Special who has better banh mi (and cheaper!) and the waitstaffs with greater customer engagement skills. The guy at the pay counter is really in need of a customer service class. He seems to be mute or deaf because he's unresponsive to anything any customer says, whether you're Vietnamese or not. Maybe somebody can try sign language next time? Or guess what? He's upset because you have to pay him and leave! I feel bad for the owner at this place because he/she doesn't know how to teach their employees to say basic phrases such as "Thank you" or "You're welcome" or "What would you like?" or "Come back and see us soon" or even crack a smile on the face??? If you can't speak English, just say it in Vietnamese and a big sincere smile! We'll understand! read more

I probably couldn't tell bún bò hu from pho if the bowls were labeled, but that would probably be chalked up to me having my face in the bowl slurping some noodles. Still, it was the former I decided to try, partly because it seemed like Saigon Bistro's menu put a little more emphasis on it, and partly because within a minute of standing over me I had an unenthusiastic Vietnamese man standing over me ready to take my order. My experience seemed to echo previous reviewer's mentions of the service, though I already felt like an outsider by virtue of being one of the only white guys in the place. It's not something I mind - the place was quite busy and heavily populated with an Asian population that probably knows more about this type of food than me, so as long as I can get in on some of the good eats, I don't care if my water glass goes without being refilled. The bún bò hu had the traditional fatty pieces of brisket you find around here, plus the meatballs, the slices of pâté, and the mountain of bean sprouts, basil, onions that you can add at your whim. I sat there for 45 minutes and worked my way to the bottom of the bowl. I also got a bánh mi that was on special but whose name I couldn't tell you because the combination of poor handwriting and the foreign language left it unintelligible. The sandwich itself was still great, and super cheap at $3.50. Maybe I don't know too much about Vietnamese food, but it looked like I was sharing my meal with plenty of others who are well-versed, and they seemed to be happy with their selections. Besides, when the food tastes good, what else do you need? read more

This is the WORST. place for Viet food. I like to go to different restaurants to let other people know how it was. Well this would be gotten a zero star from me. The waitress threw the menus on the table, didn't say anything anx then walked away. It took them about 30 mins for them to take our order. Keep in mind there's 3 other customers besides us. They're not even that busy. The egg rolls were raw. Yhe outside was burnt and the meat is pink. I am pregnant and can not be eating raw meat. I will not return. You guys should not come here at all. Its disgusting! read more

Our meals were fresh and flavorful. They have a great variety of dishes and the prices are very reasonable.

Fast food delivery, but service was non-existent. Large size portions, but mostly noodles. Egg roll in Bun was tasty, but shrimp&veggies were limp and bland. Hoisin, srirache, and peppers at table, so you can season to taste. Claims "Asian" cuisine, but really Vietnamese only. read more

Saigon Bistro - a restaurant with a fish tank - Vietnamese Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

The bahn mi is my favorite sandwich in town. It could be your favorite too if you try it. Did I mention that it's only like $3? It's a $100 dollar sandwich for $3. read more

A solid 2.5 from me. We wanted Viet food so bad we drove everywhere and all the places were closed. I never liked Saigon from the past but I thought I'd give it another try to see if anything has improved. Plus, my sister and niece loves this place. So I had to see what was to love. The waiter sat us down and took our drink and food order right away... We started off with the Grilled Pork Spring Rolls. Not bad but the sauce was off. My GF ordered the BBH and I ordered the Pho. The pho came out looking very bland. I tasted the broth before adding the other ingredients. Oh I had to add extra fish cause I couldn't taste much. Extra hoisin, extra chili oil, and extra limes. My girlfriend didn't care of the Bun Bo Hue. She also said it was bland. And let's talk about the service. At first it was cool... but the waiter never came back to check on us. I drank all my water within the first 15 of us being there. Luckily my GF didn't drink her water and gave me hers. The waiter was sitting down talking on her phone the whole time. Laughing out loud while other customers were eating... that's not a good look. So yeah, I don't see how this place is my sister and niece's favorite spot. 3 STARS at most... read more

Saigon Bistro - Too bland.. - Vietnamese Near Me - Wichita, Kansas

No way Saigon Bistro deserves 3 stars. This place is a solid 5 star. Good value. Excellent Vietnamese food. I work nearby and have been a regular customer over the last few years. Consistently good quality food and once again, excellent value. Have lived on both coasts, and have seen the best of Vietnamese food - small hole in the wall type places and upscale as well. Saigon Bistro sits slap bang in the middle - mid-priced and excellent food served, well, Vietnamese no pretenses style. I would highly recommend this place. I haven't tried the Pho, but their Bun (Vermicelli Noodles) is my favorite. Other sandwiches and dishes are excellent too. BTW - rated 4 stars on TripAdvisor. read more

I went here a second time and again the food was just fine. But the last time I was here, I came with a few friends who had never been here before and we arrived 20 minutes before closing. The place was empty and we weren't sure if we should still eat here, but they sat us down and I figured they could use the business. We barely took a look at the menu when the waiter was already looming at our table. She didn't say anything so I asked for waters all around, but then she asks us to hurry up and order so they can put it in. She explained that it's just that they already cleaned the kitchen but we can still take our time to eat. But of course we weren't ready and we didn't want to be a hassle so we were like "Uh we'll just go eat somewhere else, sorry (we didn't mean to come in so late)." But why not just close at 7:30 instead of 8? read more

I been here couple times before, but it's not my to go place for pho. Since I was in the area and haven't been there in a while we decided to just go there. Pho was ok and so were the spring rolls. My kids got the rice plate which was pretty good and nice portions. However like most Asian restaurant the service is a hit or miss kinda thing. They brought out the food and to them seems like they were done. No one came to check up on us or refilled our drinks. So I decided to go up and refill it my dam self. All the servers were just hanging out at an empty table talking. They saw me go up and refill my own drinks and just looked at me. After I came back to my table I guess that's when the server decided to come over and refill the water cups. So the only tip I gave him was check on your customers. read more

Appalling customer service. Employees are rude, not accommodating, and awkwardly silent. I've walked in several times and was ignored. Other times menu was thrown down at me and I was asked "muon gi"? Lit. Translation : what do you want ? Incredibly impolite and disinterested in what they are doing. Being vietnamese myself and not having a language barrier that others might have , I cannot even began to imagine how they treat non vietnamese customers. When I went up to pay, the manager in the white polo is quiet, gives me an evil eye , doesn't say a word to me and just puts his hand out asking for payment. Hands me a pen to sign my receipt and doesn't bother to say goodbye. In general, Vietnamese restaurants aren't known for their customer service, but none have been as appalling as the many awful experiences with this restaurant. My mom who is From Vietnam is even embarrassed by their lack of care towards basic manners. read more

I would give this restaurant 0 star for their terrible service. The waiter and waitress are so rude. They come to you with a cold face throwing the menu on the table, not even once coming to check on the customer after bringing them their food. One time I saw the waitress throwing the straw to a customer and it dropped on the ground. She noticed that but did not pick it up, not even say sorry or anything and just left. The owner is usually working with the crash register and not much different from his employees. Horrible experience every single time I go their. The food at Thao Bistro is way better than here and their service is beyond 5 stars. Highly recommend to go there instead of this place. read more

not bad for Wichita. Crispy noodles are good and pho is okay. price is reasonable.

Food is always good and quick. Service with my last visit left a little to be desired. Remains our go-to pho spot coming from Derby.

Authentic or not, they have gigantic portions (even for a fat guy) and great pricing.

Probably one of the popular places to eat pho and other Vietnamese dishes, the place can get busy during lunch hours best time to go is during the evening on the weekends when it's less busy. read more

My son and I love Saigon bistro! It's his number one pick to eat no matter when or what time of day it is. My favorite starter is the Vietnamese Egg Rolls! The service is quiet and quick to the point but that doesn't bother me none, I appreciate the prompt service! This is a GREAT lunch spot! read more

I am updating my review because I've been back several times and have been disappointed. I have brought several people here to try their banh canh and it has been subpar every time. They started using time noodles (like the ones they use in bun Bo hue) and the regular size seems smaller. The most disappointing part is that the soup is bland. I still gave them 4 stars for service, cleanliness, and their coconut juice read more

Been going here for years, their food is always good and service has always been pleasant. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine. read more

The atmosphere was welcoming and I really enjoyed the wonton noodle soup! For sure definitely am coming here again

My husband and I are traveling through Wichita and just had wonderful bowls of Pho at Saigon Bistro. We travel quite a lot and always search out Vietnamese restaurants and this was easily the best we have had outside of the very wonderful A'Dong in our hometown, Des Moines, IA. Saigon Bistro is nicely decorated, clean and the service is very good. The grilled pork spring rolls were quite yummy and the pho was awesome. Our only objection is that they do not serve any alcohol. read more

The menu is typical: pho, vermicelli, rice. The service is good, food is served quickly. Large portions with fresh produce.

After checking the filters, I just learned how to use yelp. it's not just me. The owner is mute and the foods is taste like craps, if you have tried craps before. Yes, come here if you want to know what craps taste like and the owner with attitude. read more

Place a to go order that was incorrect. The service was just ok. Ordered the shrimp fried rice for my daughter, but was given chicken fried rice instead. The rice was bland and tasteless. I won't be returning. read more

Nice atmosphere, pleasant waiters, and the food is always good. The small bowls of soup/ Pho are big enough for two!

When I went there I ordered a regular size phó. My phó barley had any noodles, and it didn't even have the taste of phó. My brother came with me for lunch, he ordered the fried chicken with rice. I could not believe that when I finished my pho my brother's dish didn't even come out yet ( probably around 15-20 minutes ). The food service was very slow, and the food isn't all that great. Also I saw the workers on they're phone when there was people who needed to order they're food ! read more

They had bad waiters and bad food. My food took so long that everyone at my table got done with there food and my food was not out yet. They did not even give me updates on my off or said anything to me. I do not recommend this place to friends, family or anyone. read more

Fried rice used to be good but now it's bland and tastes subpar to the fried rice at pho mc

Food is alright. I went there 5 times altogether, servers are alright, except the owner who sit a the counter seem to be a little stuck up. Never say a word when I paid, not even a thank you. Went there again yesterday during the weekend, this time either his son or relative work at the counter, same attitude. read more

For the city of Wichita with the Vietnamese population between 8 to 10 thousand, this is the best Vietnamese restaurant in town. I have been going to this restaurant since it's inception. I average going to this restaurant 2 to 3 times per week. For the Vietnamese coffee lover, this restaurant probably serve the best coffee compare to other Vietnamese restaurants. I have tried many dishes in this restaurant and enjoyed all of it. Each dish is very well presented. The Pho is excellent along with the specialty fried rice. Fried rice top with half of a deep fried hen is also delicious. Any rice dishes, bun, or mi is also delicious. The Vietnamese sandwich (banh mi) is the best. You can finished your meal with an avocado smoothie that is very tasty. Every time I entered this restaurant, the wait staff is always ready to serve you. The restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Any time you are in Wichita, I recommend that you try this restaurant. read more
