We got the ca nuong da gion (large fried catfish) for $75. This typically comes with the vegetables, noodles, sauces and rice paper on the side. Typically combines to create your own spring roll. We also got the bo la lot (i believe grilled betel leaves wrapped beef) for $22. This was filling for a party of us 4. We ran out of rice paper and noodles and the staff brought us more free of charge since it comes w the fish order. Went on a Saturday during noon and they were quick to seat us. Place is clean and ive been going to this location for their fried fish since i was a child. read more

这家越南粉味道还不错，汤底醇厚香浓，店里有米粉和面两种口感可以任选。 另外点了猪扒饭，搭配鱼露调味，口感很地道好吃。 唯独三色冰口感一般，红豆不是绵密的红豆泥，椰香也不够浓郁，不太推荐。 店里氛围还挺好，刚好还碰到有人在这边过生日，氛围感满满。 read more

Not sure if it was an off day, but today, Dec 29, we called in an order for two Large Catfishes (ca nuong) to go hours earlier. They said they didnt have XL size and said they had Large. So i ordered those. When I picked it up and came home with it to discover...well...the picture describes it. Catfishes on the smaller side. I think it could have passed as Medium size but definitely not large nor XL. Reasoning: i have ordered Large and XL from them before and they were definitely not this small. Disappointed especially at $75 for a large size now. Ill be going other places now for Ca Nuong, this is the 2nd times this happened and they adjusted the price when we ate on site. read more

Saigon Block - 64. Ca Nuong Da Gion / Large Size - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Tried Saigon Block and the food was solid overall! I ordered the Bún Thịt Nướng and Phở Đặc Biệt, and both dishes came out fresh, flavorful, and generous in portion. The grilled pork on the bún was nicely seasoned with a good char, and the pho broth had a rich, comforting flavor with plenty of meat. The drinks were just okay, the cà phê sữa đá was decent but not as strong or bold as I expected, and the Thai tea was pretty mid. Not bad, just not memorable. Service was quick, the restaurant was clean, and the food definitely hit the spot. I'd come back for the dishes, especially the bun and pho! read more

I've been coming here for a while for family celebrations but first time writing a review. We had a reservation and came a little late. We got a little bit of a scolding which was very vietnamese but also not very professional in my opinion. Like one time mentioning the policy is fine but I think it was brought up 2-3 times after we waited for a table. We ordered ca nương like usual and it's always good. They do skimp out on the veggies, noodles, banh trang, and sauce. The fish sauce is very good, kind of addicting but also may be too strong for people who don't like fish sauce. We also ordered the fried quail, butter fried chicken and some other meat dish. These were just okay. I really did not like the butter fried chicken here, it was too salty and greasy. The fried quail was solid but VERY expensive. read more

Ok ok i apologize in advanced for the pic but we demolished the fish before we realised about checking in yelp. It's GOOD!!!! Haven't been here in ages and I forgot how good the catfish is. So get the catfish, get the bo la lot (grape leaves with beef) and get the nem nuong. I promise you it's a lot of food but very good. Service is meh but food is good. I'd come early! read more

09-21-2025 We drove 45 min to dine here. Our friends and relatives shared that baked catfish is something worth to write home about. Ordered: -Ca Nuong (medium) $68- crunchy delicious! -Saigon 3 Vi $34- the variety of meat were all yummy. We enjoyed our wraps. -Pho Ga $14.25- my sister loved her soup! Good service. They gave us plenty of vermicelli and extra veggies with no additional charge. If I were to be in Dallas again, I will definitely be back here for more of their delicious food! read more

I'm not in Dallas too often but when I am, I do think of this place often! I love their baked catfish and bo lot lat. It's quite a fun dining experience to make your own spring rolls but I can understand if some folks aren't into that. The fish is super crispy and you get sauces to dip in. The bo lot lat is thick so I prefer to cut it in half to enjoy! Service is quick but we typically order ahead. The establishment seems to always be busy and filled with families when we go! read more

Food was okay, but the manager was extremely rude and unfriendly. No smile, bad attitude, and made customers feel very uncomfortable. Customer service needs serious improvement. I will not be coming back. read more

Came here for the ca nuong. Medium catfish is about $65. It seems like most who come here get the ca Nuong but a lot of the items look good...I want to come back to try the bun nem Nuong. The ca nuong is 3 stars. The aromatics are there and I like that they remove the bones for you. The meat itself is a little mushier than I'd like. I prefer a firmer texture. The pickled daikon and carrots are the thicker kind, which I like and they are perfectly pickled. The restaurant is spacious and clean and service was quick and efficient. I probably wouldn't order the catfish again but I do want to come back and try other items on the menu. read more

We visitied recently for the second time and I swear.....some other folks need to go with me and hubby next time so we can justify ordering the showstopping whole catfish! However, we ordered the delicous shrimp spring rolls that came with probably the cleanest peanut sauce I have ever had. Tasted homemade for sure. My husband and I ordered vermicilli bowls with grilled beef and chicken. The bowls had an abundance of veggies and flavorful meat. The little tiny eggroll bites were like eating the most delicous crunchy crouton that was a nice addition to the bowls. The freshness of the ingredients is what I appreciate the most. The service is outstanding and attentive. The atmosphere is clean and comfortable. We have only gone for lunch but would like to see what the dinner atmosphere is like and of course, get that catfish!!!!! read more

Great restaurant! The staff was welcoming and friendly! It's very authentic Vietnamese food, so be ready to push yourself outside your comfort zone if you've never had it before. The portions were huge and the price was extremely reasonable! We enjoyed their rice sirloin plates, Vietnamese coffee, and prok spring rolls. We went on a Saturday so it was busy, but there was absolutely no wait time! The restaurant was also very clean. read more

Soo delicious!! We'll definitely be back for more. The restaurant had easy parking and I appreciated the design and decor of the space. We usually go to Pho Bac but wanted to try something new. The portion is slightly smaller but the quality and flavor is better in my opinion. It's a great option for big parties as they offer many sharing entries.

I brought my family from out of town to experience the giant fried fish that you use to make rolls. They enjoyed the experience and had a lot of fun eating it.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Egg and soda was interesting. It's sweeter than I anticipated. Not a huge fan of the mixed fruits drink... but the large catfish ($70) was filling for two people! Could've been more flavorful for the fish meat and I would like for the Lettuce to be more thoroughly washed... otherwise tasty. Fairly empty for a late Saturday lunch. read more

So many delicious options! We had their pho and ca nuong. We got a medium size ca nuong, 2 phos, and 2 orders of the cha gio; it sounds like a lot but it was also the perfect amount of food for 4 people. Everything was very delicious and the meats for the pho was tender and soft. Their cha gio was deep fried in rice paper so it was a little different than the usually egg wrapper but I think it's even better and more crispy. The sauce that they give you for the ca nuong was a great compliment to the spring rolls; it had a hint of fish sauce yet it was different but very flavorful. Service was great and the food came out very fast. read more

We got in very late for dinner, half hour before closing. We missed their famous catfish entree, since it should be an hour at least for us to be able to order it. We settled for grilled boneless pork chop with steam rice and chicken pho. Also, their shrimp spring rolls. The grilled pork chop is bland. It should have been marinated overnight to get the real taste of grilled pork chop. Same as the chicken pho. The shrimp spring rolls need more shrimps and not all noodles. Serving staff are helpful and respectful. Clean and well decorated Vietnamese Restaurant. Will be back to try their famous catfish on their menu. read more

We had a reservation but still had to wait almost 45 minutes for our table. Service was slow and had to flag down staffs several times. However, staffs were very nice and friendly. It seemed like they were extremely busy that day and did not have a good system. I came for their famous Baked catfish dish -Ca Nuong Da Gion and 7 courses of Beef. I was very satisfied with our main dishes. We did order some desserts like caramel flan and Che Ba Mau, but I wasn't impressed. The place was spacious suitable for big party/family gathering. Overall, I would come back for the baked catfish, with hope the service will be better. read more

We had a party of 8. and really enjoyed the time being here. The food is phenomenal, the atmosphere is fabulous for our party, the service here is considerably faster than what we expected. The broiled cat fish, the salted-stirred squid and the fried shrimp are off the scale, just can't complain, we really really had a good time. Thank you. read more

Saigon block is THE spot for a whole catfish to make spring rolls with. It's one of the cleanest places despite always being busy. Also very family friendly with really good lighting. Service is ok depending on the day, but you're really here for the food I recommend getting a large fish over the medium one for better texture and the meat doesn't fall apart as much. They always give you a lot of veggies and noodles to make your spring rolls. The fried squid was also really good and it was a large portion! 5/5 place if you want to impress your Asian parents read more

I have a very hard time understanding the hype about this place and/or the famous catfish. We ordered the large catfish (they were sold out of the smaller size) and the chicken fried rice. The chicken fried rice was pretty good (3.5/5) but the catfish was mushy and VERY bland. I'm grateful for all the trimmings that came with the fish because without them, I wouldn't have eaten what I did eat. Our waiter was somewhat attentive as he only came by once to check on us. I probably wouldn't go back or recommend based upon my experience. read more

Updated to 4 stars. Spring rolls are the way to go but the Bo luc lac / cube beef is also pretty good. The baked whole catfish is the way to go. It's available in various sizes, as detailed in the menu. At time of writing the medium is $62 and comfortably feeds 4-5 people. Order as soon as you get there because they prepare it fresh and it takes 20mins minimum to arrive. The catfish is baked to perfection and presents a crisp skin that reveals a succulent meat. It is garnished generously with fried shallots, peanuts and scallions. Since this is the place for spring rolls, the catfish is served with a vegetable plate (Thai Basil, chameleon mint, cucumber, picked carrot and daikon, and lettuce), fermented fish sauce and sweet chili sauce. There are also various noodles available for extra charge, which I highly recommend. Also I recommend the egg soda if you've never tried it before or are too lazy to pasteurize eggs at home. read more

Gosh it's been several years since I've been here. I had the baked catfish dish then and remembered it being good. I don't know why I haven't been back. Probably the drive. Found myself back here recently and was wowed all over again. I was reminded of why the baked catfish dish is their specialty. It is served spring roll style that you assemble yourself and comes with a tray of veggies, rice paper, bowl of water, and dipping sauce. The fish came out beautifully presented on a platter. The skin was crispy and the fish inside was juicy and succulent. I love the peanut and green onion garnishes. They also have the more popular bo 7 mon which offers 7 courses of beef dishes. We opted for just the 2 dish version. The grilled beef with scallion was so juicy and flavorful. I've been craving it since. The other meat is bo la lot which is a ground meat roll wrapped in betel leaves and then grilled. They have long tables to accommodate large groups and also comfy booths for smaller parties. The service was quick and friendly even with a packed house. We were greeted and seated promptly. I can't wait to go back! read more

We have great tradition of dining at Saigon Block whenever we are in Dallas! The place is a good size and can accommodate a big group. There is a lot of parking. It gets busy during the weekend, but we always get seated. Our favorite is Cá Nướng Da Giòn (baked whole catfish). It is a perfect dish for sharing with a large group like my family and friends. We make our own spring rolls with pieces of fish, veggies and fresh herbs. We dip the spring rolls in either a fish sauce or peanut-based dipping sauce. This really brings out the flavors! Saigon Block offers a wonderful variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes too, from pho to rice dishes and noodle options. We are looking forward to going back. read more

I used to come here as a child with my family, and after coming back today it is as good as I remember! We had the large baked catfish, mainly because they were out of the medium, and it was delicious. The skin is crispy, the fish is tender and fragrant, and the rau (veggies, herbs) were crisp and fresh. We also ordered a cafe sua da (Vietnamese iced coffee) and a sua dau nanh (soybean milk), which both were good as well. The sua dau nanh has the green color from the addition of pandan, which is how I prefer it. The service was fine; a very standard Vietnamese restaurant service and feel. They even have the classic restaurant fish tank that reminds me of my childhood. I will say that we sat in a booth along the wall opposite the kitchen and it did get a little chilly in that area. If you are not used to eating Vietnamese cuisine, be aware that there will be bones in the baked fish that you will need to pick out as you eat! The server removed the spine and major bones of the fish, but there are smaller bones that you may find in the meat of the fish. read more

We went to Saigon Block to try their pho and rice dishes. I had the Saigon Pho and my husband ordered #47 (Korean style short ribs). Unfortunately the ribs were so popular that night they sold out by the time we ordered so the waiter suggested #46 (flame-broiled marinated sirloin) instead. The pho was awesome. The broth was full of flavor and there was no shortage of meat. The sirloin came plated with rice and garnished with pickled carrots. The carrots were a great addition to the plate. The meat was tender and seasoned well. The prices were reasonable and we had plenty of food. The restaurant is well lit with open seating. We sat in a booth and were able to see all the foods coming out. Everything was well plated and the staff was hustling. For a Monday night, this place was packed. read more

We came for the 7 course beef that they have, but on the day we came they were out of a few of the dishes that come in that experience. The staff suggested something else that was slightly similar to what we wanted. The grilled beef is good, tender, and flavorful. The shrimp on the sugar cane was good but needed a pinch of salt. All the veggies that come with the dish were fresh and crisp. The dipping sauces are perfect accompaniments. It came with rice paper and noodles so we basically got to make our own spring rolls in a variety of different combinations. Hopefully next time they have the 7 course experience available. read more

Saigon Block - Catfish - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

When we were dining here, the majority of the tables ordered the fried catfish. While on the menu, it lists different sizes of the fish but in reality, it really is just what they have in stock so we ordered the bigger fish since it was the only option available. The fish was huge so it was more than enough for our party of 5. We would have ordered more but because the fish was big, we only ordered mussels as our second dish. Everything was yummy and electrifying with flavors. The fish came with rice paper and plenty of vegetables. It tastes really good as a wrap. We are not fans of the sauce so we switched it with fish sauce instead. If you're looking for something new to try, I recommend the salted lemon soda. It's a refreshing drink during the summer heat. read more

Coming from out of town, this was our first stop and the food hit the spot. Their menu is extensive with a lot of the well-known Vietnamese dishes & appetizers. I'm a big fan of DIY rolls and I would recommend the ca nuong or baked catfish, which seems to the popular dish here with almost every table around us ordering this. They have 3 sizes (medium, large, and extra large) and is the perfect order to share. The skin so extra crispy and the fish had a lot of meat. We also ordered the bo la lot (beef wrapped in betal leaf), com tam (broken rice), nem nuong (grilled pork spring rolls), and chao tom (shrimp sugarcane), which were all also very good. Seems like a good place to come for a variety of Vietnamese dishes to please everyone in your party. read more

Pros: did a yelp search for "bo 7 mon" and this was one of 2 places suggested. They were both within a mile of each other, so we picked this one as it had more reviews. Eggrolls were so good. Made with rice paper. I got the lemonade, vinegar hotpot beef, and a Thai dessert. My husband got chargrilled meat with noodles. Our friend liked his fried rice. Service was good. Accepts credit cards. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town. Cons: none I can think of. Price maybe? But maybe it's proved right cause we had a ton of leftovers. read more

My family, friends, and I love Saigon Block. We love coming here for their baked whole catfish as it can feed many people and is a good way to get your veggies in on the side too. It can also be a good bonding experience when teaching/helping friends or family roll their spring rolls when eating this dish. For sides, we like to order Chao Tom which is very nostalgic for me and I probably order it every time I go to Saigon Block. Service is usually great and friendly and nothing we have ordered has ever taken too long to come out which is a plus. The ambiance of this restaurant is very family friendly so that everyone can enjoy if they're with a group of friends or their family just wanting to grab a bite to eat. read more

This place definitely has best meat in pho around DFW. The meat is very tender and soft and that applies all types of the meat. I would suggest trying the combination pho if it's your first time since it has filet mignon. The broth is pretty clean and not as salty as most pho establishments. Imperial egg rolls is worth trying; it's different from regular egg rolls and very soften items inside. In addition to pho their have a pretty extensive menu. read more

Omg this is än absolutely amazing restaurant. The dining room is spacious and very clean . The service was also excellent. We ordered the medium fish and appetizers for 4 people . The food came out was nice and warm. They deboned the fish for us which was an excellent way to serve fish. The fish skin was nice and crunchy like potato chips. The meat was moist and juice and delicious . The fish was super fresh. The appetizers was also excellent. The food was beyond expectations. As I write this review the next day, I m still salivating from the meal I had the previous day read more
