    I ordered Pad Thai with tofu, my wife got the beef pho. I tried her broth, quite fragrant but slightly sweet for my taste. The Pad Thai was delicious, the noodle was chewy in a good way. The dish was moist with sauce which is the way I like it. The space is cozy and comfortable. Service is perfect. There is plenty of parking.

    5/5 for the service, ambience, and cleanliness of the restaurant. Where the review falls short is honestly the the food. If a restaurant is going to advertise as fusion, I would hope both cuisines they want to specialize in is yummy. Sadly, the Thai dishes that we had were not that very good. Edible, but flavorless and texture was chewy. I had the Thai yellow curry. I can appreciate the option of having a no spice level, since my tolerance is really low, but I still expect to taste the coconut and herbs from the curry. It was also runny and more broth-like than rich. Unfortunately, I barely tasted any. I ended up taking it home and combining it with my own yellow curry. My friend had the Pad Sa Ew with chicken and the noodles were too mushy and overcooked. Interestingly, it was topped with shredded red cabbage and had both broccoli and Chinese broccoli. She was not able to finish the rest of her meal. We finished with the Mango Sticky Rice and they definitely captured the flavor, but the consistency of the rice was clumpy. This was their only dish, during our visit, that was decent. While I can appreciate all the hard work that goes into starting a restaurant, having a solid menu with good cooking is essential. I hope to see improvements with the flavors, at least for the Thai dishes. Overall, we had a good experience, but disappointed by the food.

    Vibe: A small but cozy space. The decor is somewhat minimal but looks elegant. The seating looks appropriately spaced out so it doesn't feel cramped despite the small space. Service: So sweet and friendly! They make you feel at home and will help you understand anything on the menu or answer any questions. Food: Delicious! There wasn't one bad dish. The flavors were all just right and the portions were a decent size. Papaya Salad - We added shrimp to it and the taste was perfect. My mom really enjoyed it and since it we asked for non-spicy, she loved it even more. I accidentally forgot they included the chili with the peanuts and dumped it all on, so be careful with that! Maybe ask for only peanuts if you can't handle spice and are forgetful like me. Tofu Garlic Noodles - A little sweet and a little savory. Wonderfully fragrant of garlic and onions. I enjoyed it a lot and finished off the whole plate. Veggie eggrolls - I love the size because so many places make thick ass eggrolls and this was a good size. Not tiny, not huge, etc. Fried to a crisp with a yummy filling. Pho Chin - My mom is a picky pho eater. She rarely likes a pho bowl made by other people. The broth was just right and they put less noodle like we asked. My mom only likes fatty meat cuts and they indeed only gave her that. Overall, a wonderful experience! We will definitely be back. I'm glad I decided to make the trip here after seeing them on Tiktok!

    Such a cozy and lovely restaurant. The place is clean and lots of tables inside and outside. The owners are very friendly and help recommend so many good dishes. Big portions to share and each dish is packed with flavor. The fried rice - loaded with seafood!! Sampler - loved this plate. It has a little of everything so it's perfect to share with friends. Chicken wings and eggrolls were crispy and delicious. Salmon garlic noodles - noodles had good texture, great garlic flavor, and salmon cooked nicely Mango papaya salad - fresh, sweet, tart, and spicy. Everything you need in a good salad

    Chicken Pad Thai
    Cait B.

    This cute thai fusion spot had incredible service. Both the waiters were incredibly kind. I didn't eat all of my chicken in my pad thai and the waiter asked if something was wrong, I didn't like the consistency and he was super nice and offered free drinks for it. The pad thai was so yummy and had great flavor. Service was pretty quick. There's plenty of parking and I'll be back!

    Beef Pad Thai
    Tina N.

    Nice cozy little restaurant that's situated off Valley View. The restaurant is very clean. As we walked in, we were welcomed right away. Everyone in the restaurant was so nice and attentive. Very sweet. The food was great! Pad Thai (Beef) - big portion and the beef was very tender. lots of flavor. Pho Tai - big portion and the soup was flavorful. they give the right amount of noodles but wish they gave a little bit more meat. Overall I would come here and eat again. I would want to try other dishes next time though.

    Saigon Bistrot, a Vietnamese-Thai fusion which opened late April of 2025 which I had to bookmark and visit with my girlfriend whenever we were around the area. Well we've finally took the time and visit, TWICE and here's a few of my thoughts on the place! The restaurant has a pleasant, homey vibe with all types of crowds coming in and out whether dining in or ordering for to-go/picking up which I found exceptional. The owners Sam and Angela took good care of us and made sure we had the best experience on our visit. Very calm and friendly people with a lot to say through their food! During our couple visits, we made to sure to order an appetizer along with each of our dish, so let's talk about Saigon Bistrot's entrees! FOOD Tom Yum Wings We love chicken wings and Tom Yum soup. What better way to fuse 2 of our beloved dishes together! Honestly, one of our favorite appetizers that come in a variety of flavors! Tom Yum is our favorite but we'll be trying the other flavors the next time we visit! Cajun Butterfly Shrimps(5 pieces) Perfect crisp with the Cajun seasoning, complimenting the entirety of each bite. This is a MUST-HAVE, especially if you love shrimp. Goes great with the dipping sauce that's provided! Filet Mignon Pho Now, I've only taken a couple sips from the broth and it was delightful! Saigon Bistrot nailed it with this dish cause my girlfriend already had it each time we visited so looks like I'll be ordering it the next time we're there! Seafood Deluxe Tom Yum Soup Definitely a heart-healthy type of dish that's served with vermicelli noodles! Loved everything about it and I'm not just saying that cause I love Tom Yum soup but the balance of flavor, vegetables and protein is consistent! Exceptional soup dish that I highly recommend! Chicken Pad See Ew Great dish and an absolute crowd-favorite! Packed with flavor in every bite! I really enjoyed that they added their own twist onto this dish to make it their own. I'll have to give this one another try with a different protein next time! Signature Viet-Thai Super Topping (Che Thap Cam) Highly popular dessert mix that's a great way to end a delicious meal! If you're familiar or interested in giving this a try after eating, this is the perfect dessert to top everything off! OVERALL I really enjoy places like this. Very chill vibe to bring some friends, family or significant other along. Owners, Sam and Angela are very sweet, friendly and hard-working. They've got an energy that synergizes with each other and the customers, which makes being there and eating their delicious food even better! Thank you again for having us Saigon Bistrot, we'll be seeing you soon!

    6/25 House pho
    Helen K.

    Stopped for early lunch with my MIL. Been meaning to try this new spot since they opened. Interior is modern & comfortable. An upgrade from previous occupants. My MIL had the pork Ban Mi with side salad. She raved about the sandwich. Not a Chinese style cha sui flavor but more of a soy sauce sugar type roast pork. Salad was dressed lightly with an Asian rice vinegar sugar/honey (maybe ginger) dressing. She LOVED the dressing. My choice of the house pho (rare beef,brisket,tripe & tendon) was SO GOOD! Complex slightly sweet broth. For me, broth really is the star when it comes to pho. It's very good here. There were ample meats & tender tendons. One of the meats was cut a bit thicker than I'm use to. It wasn't difficult to chew, just thicker. Could have used a bit more bean sprouts which was probably available upon asking but we were n a hurry. The coolest thing was the utensil drawer beneath the table. Like a utensil drawer at home which housed the spoons, forks, chopsticks & straws. Had the usual table top condiments:housing, chili sauce, Sriracha, etc. Overall a nice place so close to my neighborhood. We're so happy to have a viet/thai fusion place nearby. It was sorely needed in this neighborhood. With the extensive menu, we both decided we needed several more trips to taste all the menu items we were drooling over. The proprietress was VERY attractive. Service was quick & helpful.

    Excellent new Vietnamese / Thai fusion restaurant that took over the Kerostena and Taboon location. Instead of just taking over the spot they gave it a beautiful makeover adding both booths and tables. Owners Sam and Angela are the friendliest people and they have so much pride in their restaurant. Prices are reasonable with a large selection Vietnamese and Thai dishes that includes a vegetarian section. They've got interesting beverages and desserts too! I live within walking distance of this restaurant so I am really glad they're here! If the menu looks familiar they used to own Saigon District in Huntington Beach and carried over a lot of items. My favorite that they kept is the sautéed tofu salad. Sounds boring yet it's packed with so much flavor and makes for a healthy satisfying meal. The cajun salmon is also delicious! Place was busy the entire time we were there so it seems like this is exactly what the area needed. Welcome to the neighborhood!!

    To go #22 with tripe, tendon, rare beef
    Julie L.

    $5 for 2 chicken spring rolls $17 pho #22 special (tripe!) Portions are just ok but I know everything is expensive nowadays. There is an option to order additional protein but not a larger pho size in general. The broth is really good; I was told it was pressure cooked bone broth. The owners are very nice and hard working. All in all due to the location being very close I will likely come back. I got my order to go & it was very quick. There were a few other customers so it wasn't loud but they had music on. There's a few outside tables too which is a nice option & breeze.

    My wife was feeling Pho would be a good choice given the cold weather. We happened to be in Garden Grove that day and thought we'd give this place a shot. My big word for the spot...grace. While the food was quite delicious, our service was sub par. My wife and I were hoping to get in and out in roughly 30 minutes (infant was sleeping). We were sat immediately but no one took our order for literally 20 minutes. I'm sitting across the table from my now angry and frustrated wife. She says "let's just leave." Right as we are closing the menus, our server comes. We obviously ended up staying but to my wife's reluctance. From ordering to food delivery was about 5 minutes. And while the interior is cute and gives a Saigon vibe, my wife was just ready to go. And finally, grace... As we are leaving I spot the "open on X day" sign. They just opened their doors a couple days ago. With that in consideration 4 stars was appropriate. I'm willing to give them another shot but I'm not going out of my way to come back.

    A nice little hidden gem in Garden Grove serving the best Vietnamese and Thai fusion! Immediately as you walk in, we were greeted by the staff and the interior was decorated beautifully. The service was amazing, got seated immediately and food came out so fast. We ordered the wings, deluxe fried rice, and the chicken pad Thai and everything was absolutely delicious.. The deluxe fried rice had different types of protein chicken shrimp shell fish etc and was the star of the show. The wings were fish sauce coated, an item that you can't find anywhere else. Also their Thai tea was one of the best I had. Overall, everything was good. Come out and support the business! 5/5 stars.

    This place looks new but I want to say everything is decently priced and it tastes really good! The service was nice and the guy who took my order in a crutch was very friendly. Ambiance wise everything was clean and it offered a nice table sitting.

I was lucky to receive my dish pretty quickly, but some of the other people in my party had to wait quite a bit. But I think the staff were working as fast as they could so ultimately, i think service was fine. I tried the lomo saltado with beef, fries and garlic noodles. Overall tasted great. The fries still managed to have a crispy texture and had a sweet and savory sauce flavor to them. The beef cubes were tender and cooked just right. The noodles were fine as well. I liked that the noodles werent too heavy. The portion size is very large though, i was very full by the end of it. The green milk tea was good too. The milk, sugar, and tea ratios were all balanced and the flavor was subtle. It had an interesting flavor that reminded me of grass jelly and milk, but in a good way.

    Overall great experience!…read more Food - everything was cooked well. Loved the char on the prawns with our garlic noodles. The bone soup was rich and love that they refill your broth for you! Garlic wings were perfectly crispy. For the calamari ask for the green sauce instead, they were good just really tiny. Lomo saltado was my favorite. The beef was so perfectly cooked and not chewy. Great flavors! Service - our server was so nice! She was great with the kids and also very attentive. Knew exactly when to bring more broth and more lychee lemonade refills.

    I came here with high expectations for a joint birthday dinner. Unfortunately, I didn't love my…read moreexperience as much as I thought I would. The hosts were very not friendly. It seemed like they were in a bad mood and annoyed that they had to do their job. This wasn't a big deal at all, but it did take a little while for us to get seated, even though we had a reservation and they had called us 5 minutes prior to confirm we were coming. Granted, we were a large party, but it was kind of odd. We were also seated at two different tables next to each other instead of one long table. We were also only given 3-4 menus for a party of 15 and didn't get enough utensils at first. Our server was friendly and helpful, so I thank him for that. However, part of our party's food came out 5-10+ minutes before the rest of the party, so it was kind of awkward having to wait and the food got a bit cold. Maybe it was because they were busy, but I wish they timed the food a little better. I got the garlic noodles with filet mignon ($25). You can choose to have the meat cooked rare, medium, or well done. The taste was good, but nothing special (as I had read in other reviews). On a positive note, they did give us a complimentary appetizer (spicy wontons with shrimp) that I really liked! They also give us complimentary matcha cheesecake because we were celebrating two birthdays, so that was very nice of them. Overall, I don't believe they live up to the hype. Maybe it was just because we were a large party, but I had hoped to have had a better experience. I probably won't be back :/

    Such a beautiful and delicious spread!…read more The pizza was the highlight -- perfectly baked with a golden, airy crust, lots of melted cheese, and fresh arugula on top. It looked rustic and tasted fresh rather than heavy. The burrata with colorful tomatoes was creamy, refreshing, and beautifully balanced. The tomatoes were sweet and juicy, and the fresh basil made the whole dish feel light and summery. The appetizer underneath the pizza was also really tasty -- crispy bites with plenty of freshly grated cheese on top. Everything felt thoughtfully presented and made for sharing. Even the drink was refreshing and paired really well with the meal. Overall, the food was fresh, flavorful, beautifully plated, and perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner.

As for food…read morewise, I personally think it is a bit too salty for me even when I asked the dishes to be made less salty. I tried all the pasta options on the menu. My favorite would be Squid Ink Uni and Crab Spaghetti (less salty compared to other flavors) Appetizers: salmon crudo, Calamari, Cauliflower Pizza: highly recommended seafood poke and Mala Lamb. Entree: Scallop, Short ribs and Ribeye are good options. I didn't think Branzino, Chicken or Pork Tomahawk were as special as I hope for.

    Worth every penny!…read more I've been here before and always liked this place, but this was our first time coming back with the kids and somehow I think I like it even more now! First off, the food was delicious. I've had A LOT of matcha and matcha fusion drinks, but the coconut matcha here is really unique and sooo good. Everything from the appetizers to the entrees and desserts was great. Some of our favorites were the garlic noodles with spicy sauce, seafood ceviche, squid and mango salad, and crab toast. The desserts were also surprisingly good. The banana bread pudding was amazing, and we really liked the frozen yogurt parfait. It's not your typical frozen yogurt dessert--I think it might be more of a Vietnamese-style yogurt--but whatever it is, it was delicious. What really stood out to me this time though was how kid friendly the place is. We have an infant and a toddler, and there was actually enough room around our seating to keep the stroller with us without feeling like we were completely in the way. I also really appreciated the music level. So many restaurants nowadays blast music to the point where you start wondering if it's too much for babies and toddlers. Here, they hit the sweet spot. Loud enough to create a nice vibe, but not so loud that we were worried about the kids. Service was exceptional too. And trust me, kids can make a mess lol. Our toddler spilled a drink and our waiter was so understanding about it. More importantly, you could tell it was genuine. There was no judgment, no annoyed reaction, nothing that made us feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. When you're dining out with little kids, that kind of attitude from the staff really makes a difference. I already liked this place before having kids, but I honestly didn't expect the experience to be even better coming back as a family. Great food, really good drinks, amazing service, and surprisingly kid friendly. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.

    I LOVE THIS PLACE…read more Don't let the simple decor fool you - the chicken here is hands down one of the best hole in the wall locations for chicken that I've been to. Unlike your typical rotisserie or fried chicken, this place roasts their chicken in a large clay pot and the marinade is definitely not something that you can find easily. The smell of the chicken is so inviting on its own but you won't be able to smell it outside of the restaurant - gather some confidence and open that door! We got 1 whole chicken, bot chien, crispy rice, and a side of dry noodles. All of the sides are great - I've tried at least 1 option every time I come back here but my favorite is the dry noodles and crispy rice. Their chicken pairs TOOO WELL with the pickled veggies and their special soy sauce. I like mixing a little salt, pepper and lime in mine to make it extra sour but honestly, the chicken is great even without the sauce. It's a small restaurant and flagging down servers is not difficult but I love that they will come to check in on you pretty often without you putting out any effort. I've been here when it was super busy and when it's a little more free, the servers are nice, friendly & really responsive Pro tip : get more than 1 soy sauce!! You DEFINITELY will not be sharing it!

I enjoyed the grilled chicken (3/5) as it was flavorful and their sauces paird nicely, but it wasn't memorable. The hainan chicken was so bad (1/5): the meat was chewy (but not in a good, free-range kind of way) and the skin was falling apart; the rice was incredibly dry and bland. I'd say this was the worst hainan chicken I've ever had. The crisy rice (1/5): the same rice was used for this dish. They just packed a big lump of it and fried it on both sides. So no, it wasn't good either. Servers were polite and friendly, so that's a positive. Also, they charge 3% credit card fee.

I was extremely impressed the way the chicken and brisket pho were very fresh and tender for a place that's open so late. The noodles had a great texture and the veggies had a perfect clean quality, to add on to the great experience the broth was very light and beautifully flavorful!!!! I tried the Taro milk tea but it was wayyyyyyyy too sweet to the point where my throat started to kind of hurt but wow the banana matcha was delicious, very very creamy and the banana flavor wasnt too sweet or overpowering. Plus the gentlemen working up front were very kind and helpful. The food came out very fast (less than 5 minutes) and I was really happy the way they neatly packed the food, included fresh produce along with the pho, and packed some eating utensils along with some sauces without asking.

The menu strikes a great balance between comforting street food favorites and high-quality, memorable execution. The standout dish is easily the Filet Mignon Garlic Noodles, featuring tender bites of steak served over rich, savory garlic noodles. Another crowd favorite is the Pho Rib Bones, served with a massive, fall-off-the-bone beef short rib in a deeply aromatic broth. Their specialty drink menu easily rivals dedicated cafes. The Ube Cream Vietnamese Coffee is rich, bold, and perfectly balanced, while the Tropical Sunset fruit tea offers a crisp and refreshing option if you prefer something lighter. The space is clean, cozy, and modern, making it an easy recommendation for a quick lunch, casual dinner, or takeout. Portions are generous, the service is warm and attentive, and every dish comes out fresh and well-crafted.

I really enjoyed the Japanese-Italian fusion concept--creative, but the flavors still worked really well together. We tried several dishes, including the steak, seafood pasta, scallops, pork with steamed buns, and a variety of desserts. The seafood was fresh, the meats were tender and flavorful, and the pasta dishes were rich without being too heavy. Dessert was a great way to finish the meal. The omakase menu was perfect for our group because we got to try a little bit of everything instead of ordering just one entrée. Great food, nice presentation, and a unique combination of Japanese and Italian flavors. Definitely a place I'd come back to with friends!

I grew up in an area with a strong Japanese culture, so I used to eat this type of food pretty regularly. Now I only get to have it maybe once a year when I visit home, so I was excited to find a place that offered it! We ordered the scallop risotto, spinach & uni pasta, crispy tofu, and Chinese chicken salad. Overall, everything was decent, but nothing really blew me away. The scallop risotto was creamy and pretty heavy, with a little too much salt for my taste. The spinach & uni pasta was good, but there was no actual uni--just pasta, spinach, and what seemed like a uni cream sauce. I was expecting some actual uni based on the name. The dishes were all okay and worth trying if you're craving something somewhere between Japanese and Italian, but I wouldn't say they were particularly memorable. The service, though, was great--friendly and fast--and the restaurant has a cozy, pleasant atmosphere. Glad I tried it, especially for the nostalgia factor, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for the food alone.

We ordered the Papaya Salad, Garlic Chicken Rolls and their Beef Jerky Special. We had a lovely conversation with the owner and she gave us special instructions on how to eat everything, such as eating the jerky with a small ball of sticky rice and sauce, followed by a mouthful of papaya salad as a palate cleanser--We followed those instructions to a T and it was truly enjoyable! For impressions of each Entree: The Papaya Salad is incredible, we ordered it with a mild spice level sauce. It's light, flavorful and refreshing and serves as a perfect palate cleanser if you order it with another item, but having it on its own is perfectly fine as well. The Garlic Chicken Roll was fantastic, crispy roll and tender chicken on the inside. It came with a sweet dipping sauce that had a flavor we weren't expecting but a nice surprise. The Beef Jerky Special: I absolutely love the idea of the beef jerky with a crispy-charred outer shell. My critique would be to dial back the charred-ness a little bit so that it doesn't dominate the center flavor. It goes perfectly well with the sticky rice and the sauce it comes with is really nice. Really great establishment with great customer service, I look forward to visiting again!

I like the added sauce they have to it that makes it a little bit different than regular chicken gizzards. 5.5/5 Chicken Skin was great, who doesn't love some crispy chicken skin? 5/5 Tom Kha was absolutely delicious. The pork belly was SO tender. I think they probably sous vide it as it just melts in your mouth like butter. Even the Spicy Miso Ramen. FUN FACT: You can also get unlimited free noodles. I tried to finish the 2nd order of noodles but I was way too full. Service was awesome. Food came out super quick. Servers were attentive and kept coming by to ask if I wanted free noodles 3 times but maybe I'm just a slow eater. Dope ambiance as it's a more modern take on ramen places with cocktails and all kinds of different dishes. Overall, 11/10 would recommend to any restaurant from Kei Concepts in the same plaza.
