I have been searching high and low for a Bo Kho with a thicker roux like broth, it's how I was introduced to Vietnamese beef stew in Virginia. 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. Anyways, this is one of those restaurants where you want to come hungry so you can eat 3 meals. read more

A great local spot to satisfy your Vietnamese cravings! We stopped by for an early Friday dinner and found the place already busy, but luckily a table opened up for us. 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. read more

Came here as I was meeting up a friend close to lax. It was a weekday dinner close to come holidays. gosh they are busy!!! The parking lot was packed. Had to circle a bit before finding a spot. We ordered pho, chicken salad and another noodle soup. Everything was good. read more

Decent place for pho! You can tell it's a local spot -- a lot of the people working here know their regulars who come here so that was nice to see! Eggrolls: sad that they didn't come out freshly fried (but that meant that they came out very quickly) but flavor of the fillings was great! My preference for the fish sauce is a bit more funk with chilies but honestly no complaints other than the fact that it didn't come out piping hot. Pho filet mignon: got the regular size which came with a decent amount of beef and a GENEROUS amount of rice noodles. Broth was nice, clean, hot, and light but lacked in the flavor of spices but pretty good and if I was in the area I'd come back to have pho here. read more

Came for lunch on a Thursday and it was packed! Didn't have to wait too long though and they also have a yelp waitlist. Ordered the bun rieu which was delicious. Broth was savory and they're very generous with the portions - gave a lot of meat and noodles in a large bowl. Also got the spring rolls which were good - meat a little dry in spring rolls. read more

Saigon Dish - #13. Pho Tai - Vietnamese Near Me - Lawndale, California

The Baseline: For a Vietnamese cafe the Pho must be quality, the accompaniment add-in ingredients must be fresh, the meats must be well prepared, and menu must have authentic Vietnamese flavors. Food: I had the 11 tonight which was Pho with lean beef and brisket. This compares great against the most popular #13a. Great meal tonight and the spring rolls were awesome. Service: Great service from the wait staff this evening. Ambiance: The restaurant is clean and busy on this visit. There was a line waiting out the door. read more

My boy put me on to this spot Saigon Dish is fire and the got everything. This is definitely a go to spot when you in Lawndale . Just get there early because the line be long af lol read more

We ordered the Special Combination Pho and the Special Combo Rice Platter. The pho had a clear light broth that was tasty. Rice noodles cooked well. I did think the meat portion was quite skimpy despite ordering a large size pho. The combo rice platter was a nice way to try a bit of everything. The short ribs were tender. Came with a hearty broth as well. Food came out super fast and the servers were nice. Good place for takeout as well. Giving it 4 stars since you can get more meat for your buck elsewhere! Would be open to coming back if I'm in the area. read more

Saigon dish is my fav Viet spot hands down. Everything is delicious and John, the owner, is just a really cool human. I've been coming here for like maybe 15 years and he always remembers me (which shocked me because I've gone years between seeing him with different hair blue,shaved head, blonde, brown lol). Sucks I don't live close by anymore or I'd frequent this place. Their egg rolls, spring rolls, pho and bun are all good. I like their high school special if I'm craving a rice dish and soup. read more

Food 5/10 Not really anything to write home about. Food was editable but no where near the type of food/quality you can get at true Vietnamese communities like in Westminster, CA. Combo fried rice was HORRIBLE. Would not recommend ordering it. Pork and shrimp crispy wontons were okay, but I've definitely had better elsewhere. Crispy Vietnamese noodles was also okay. The sauce tasted lighter than usual and the toppings were meh (only had one shrimp, chewy meat, bad quality for squid, no mushrooms, no imitation crab meat like how it's usually supposed to have). Their saving grace though was the Banh Xeo, which is unfortunately only served Fridays and Saturdays. I kind of suspect this is because whoever knows how to truly cook Vietnamese food is only in restaurant those days. Service 1/10 Seat 'em, get their order, and forget 'em is the kind of mentally here. So if you're expecting for them to be checking up on you, you'll be disappointed. Ambiance 1/10 Typical low budget Vietnamese restaurant type of feel. Bare bones, not much decoration. Would I come here again? Probably not. I can get better quality/quantity with a quick drive down to Westminster. This spot only works if you're super lazy and don't want to drive down to Westminster or if you live in the area and you're super hungry, this will work in a pinch. read more

Came here since I was in the neighborhood, didn't think Lawndale would have a Vietnamese place that was a top 10. You ca tell a lot about a restaurant's pho broth. Tucked in a hole in the wall this place had really fast service and a feel of a legit Vietnamese restaurant. Overall it was great food and very flavorful. Noodle were perfectly chewy even if it was a to go. Great place to eat if you're in lawn dale read more

Finally got to try Saigon Dish. Was in the area so decided to stop by and place a Togo order. I got the Thai tea, pho tai and chin nac (lean steak and brisket) and an egg roll/grilled pork vermicelli bowl. The order was ready under 20minutes. Walked in to pick up the order and pay and the man ringing up was super nice, asked if I needed assistance to the car because my order was decently big. Everything we ordered was pretty good however the Thai iced tea was a little watered down despite them putting the ice in when I arrived. Their pho is probably one of the better pho bowls in the South Bay Area and the vermicelli bowl hit the spot. The vermicelli bowl came with two egg rolls, grilled pork, tons of noodles and fresh veggies, also fish sauce! The egg rolls were crispy and had great flavor, the veggies were fresh and pork was seasoned perfectly; to top it off, the fish sauce was perfection! read more

Our new go to pho place for sure. We were a little far from our usual pho place so we decided to branch out and try a new restaurant. Let me tell you, when we took our first bite...we knew. Meat was so tender I ended up ordering another side dish of the meat. Pho came out in literally 5 mins flat in a fully packed restaurant. Lots of seating and we were in and out. Great establishment, will be back. read more

The reviews here are spot on, and I guess I'll throw my hat into the ring...The best Bun Bo Hue I've ever had was in San Jose, but I dare say this place was a contender! Bun Bo Hue is a spicy Vietnamese beef noodle soup, typically chock full of various goodies like beef shank, pork hock, Vietnamese sausage, and flavorful toppings like onions, fried shallots, etc. Each bite can be a different, flavorful experience, and Saigon Dish definitely nailed it. The restaurant is very clean and well-staffed, and parking wasn't an issue for us on a Friday afternoon. My kids happily gobbled their food down which is always bonus points for me. Next time we're in the area, I gotta try the Pho...thank you Saigon Dish! read more

Food (5/5): In any season and at any time, Saigon Dish has been a staple of Lawndale for years. Saigon Dish has served Vietnamese comfort food for 20 years. There is a reason Saigon Dish has consistent customers coming in and out. My favorite is their 13A (filet mignon pho) because their thinly sliced meat is so tender. Service (5/5): They have many staff constantly working the clock. Each time I've come, the staff have been knowledgable, quick, and friendly. Price (5/5): Such a great price for quality and quantity. Ambiance (5/5): A casual spot to come for a quick lunch or dinner with family and friends. read more

I love everything about this place. From the food, to the customer service, to the cleanliness this place is perfect. I only wish it was open 24/7 and that they had more locations. Their broth and meat quality is consistently good. read more

Still my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the area, a go to staple for me when I return from long work trips. Their service has gotten better since the last review, and everything else I said in the last review regarding the food and atmosphere has stayed the same. Still a little chaotic but more attentive people, great food, all lead to a much better experience. read more

I read about this place on a 'best bowls of pho' piece so I decided to come check it out for a late lunch after an appointment. They are definitely very popular as it was really busy even in the middle of the afternoon and the turnover of tables was very high. I ordered chicken pho and an appetizer of grilled beef spring rolls. Both were fantastic! The price point was also very reasonable. I will definitely come back again. read more

Delicious food great prices fast service. I've been coming to this place for years and once you try it, you will too.

My friend and I came here for dinner the other day. The service was a little interesting because they kept asking us every 2 minutes after we sat down if we were ready to order, but the food came sooo fast. I tried #27 which was the grilled shrimp and pork noodle salad. This was surprisingly sooo good, like had amazing flavor and the protein was juicy. It also felt not too heavy but was a lot of food - made 2 meals for me. My friend got the pho and said he really enjoyed it as well! read more

I've been seeing so much about this restaurant and I was curious how it would stand up to the hype. I placed a phone order and they picked up very quickly and gave me a short wait time for my pho dac biet to be done. When I got there it was packed ( I'm so happy to see a local business doing well). The restaurant was buzzing but the employees were able to get my order no problem with a smile on their face. Great place and cute inside. Highly recommend. read more

Saigon Dish has the absolute best tasting variety of Pho in the South Bay Area. The inside is very clean and welcoming - great for a business lunch, a casual date, or just hanging out with friends. Saigon Dish is super busy so around lunchtime with a young crowd so you might need to wait a little bit for a table. The parking lot also fills up, but there's parking on the street that isn't a far walk. Try to remember to try the Vietnamese Iced Coffee - it's really good too. read more

Consistency Quality Value I've honestly lost count of how many years I've been eating at Siagon Dish, but it's been a while, all through that time the quality and consistency of the food has been there, if you order a dish one day, come back weeks or months later and it tastes the same, has the same fresh ingredients. Prices gave gone up minimally in the years since my first visit but prices are still very reasonable and affordable. Staff is always friendly and attentive, food comes fast, us always delicious and hot. John the owner is always on site overseeing the operations and greeting customers. Everything on the menu is delicious. Special Tip Visit on Friday or Saturday for the Vietnamese Crepe, You will not be disappointed. read more

I had the pleasure to dine here quite often until 7-8 years ago. I vividly remember how the owner John took such great care of not only the customers but also the staff, greeted us every time and remembered our favorite orders! Today is the first time I came back in the past 8 years. I'm so happy to see the restaurant is still packed, business is thriving and customers are happy. Kudos to John and his staff that managed everything so well beyond Covid and the inflation. To my great surprise, he still remembered me! I would definitely come back more often. I ordered their famous vermicelli noodle salad to go. # 26 spring rolls with grilled pork is my favorite, topped with fresh lettuce, bean sprouts, crushed peanuts and mint. The sweet and sour (yet light) sauce is as amazing as I can recall. The price is very reasonable (less than $15) for a huge portion. I HIGHLY recommend John's business to everyone. read more

Our family has been coming here for over 7 years from middle school until college. We've celebrated birthdays, graduations, reunions, and just about everything here. Even after visiting amazing places all over Gardena and Koreatown, our family always returns here for a warm bowl of phenomenal pho, their exceptional quality and unforgettable taste just never changes. We always order their pho #13A, - #9 my mom's favorite (which is pho but with tendons, lean beef, and more!), - #21A my brother's favorite (which we've always fought over ordering), - #23 my favorite since middle school, and - #24 Bun Cha our family favorite!! Even if we all ordered a bowl of pho or noodles, we always have to order the #24 Bun Cha to share, and it's great to pack and eat the next day! Each dish is generously portioned, where a regular size can be shared between 2 people, and usually comes with an additional plate of vegetables depending on the dish! Over the past 7 years, their prices have always been low and affordable, perfect for night outs for both big families/parties (6+) and couples (2) with a wide variety of seating! Not only has their prices remained low, dishes always came within 15-20 min even with a full house (with a wait-time of 30-40 min at most)! There were times where our family would come within 20 minutes of closing (which should not be done), but the owner knew we usually ate quickly and ordered! The owner and his staff are friendly, welcoming and always happy to help, even on busy nights they'll happily and quickly grab an extra side of onions or cilantro for the table! The owner himself has many regulars!! Writing this review makes me miss their pho now I'm coming home as soon as this quarter ends and grabbing a bowl of pho!! read more
