    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.

    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.

    The best Pho I have ever tried. They bring the food very fast. It's clean and great service. I will try other dishes next time

    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.

    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.

    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.

    One of the best places for pho in the south Bay

    This is the best pho place in the South Bay We would rather drive here than walk to the local one that's on Torrance Boulevard. The food is always good. People are always nice and the place is always packed. This is our go to spot Don't forget 5% discount if you pay cash

    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.

    Ordered to go ,but it's delicious I had the vegetarian chowmein soft noodles. Definitely will be back. Service is quick and kind. It's crazy busy but good service to go.

    Thai Iced Tea

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Ask the Community - Saigon Dish

    Do you guys offer party tray options (ie can I order 40 egg rolls ahead of time)?

    Yes absolutely. Just give me a couple hours advance notice. We’re currently closed and will reopen Monday Aug. 5

    Do they take apple pay?

    We accept most majot types of payment including Apple Pay. We also offer 5% discount for CASH payments. The only thing we don’t take is EBT

    What is the "low carb option", what do they give you, I cannot find any description. Do they just not give you rice or is there veg or salad instead?

    When following a specific diet, individuals are typically aware of what they can and cannot consume. In the case of a 'low carb' diet, there might not be specific descriptions since it can be customized based on personal preferences. I would suggest… Read more

    As of April 5, 2021 does saigon dish have outdoor dining? do they take reservations?

    Yes both outdoor and indoor dining areas are available. You can make reservations if you want to but you don't have to.

    What type of fish do they use?

    It's Catfish.

    Do they have heat lamps outside?

    I was there last week and they did not have heat lamps. The pho warmed me up!

    Does Pho here have MSG?

    MSG syndrome is a debunked racist anti-Asian myth used against Asian restaurants. Sadly, racist marketing was so effective it's still around even if there's no scientific support.

    What items do not have nuts?

    Most items do no have nuts since I have a peanut allergy myself. Peanuts are usually added as a topping at the end of food preparation so you can always tell the server to leave it out. Just stay away from the peanut dipping sauce for the spring… Read more

    Is their pho gluten free?

    Our pho is 100% gluten free but just don't add the hoisin( dark bottle) sauce

    Will Saigon Dish do separate checks?

    Yes, just tell them at the counter what your part was. They ring you up by table number.

    Is there anything vegan?

    As Paulina and Art have said, there's a vegetarian section on the menu and #49 (vegetables with pho in vegetable broth) appears to be vegan.

    Yes! Definitely goes all the way to the top of my list of best Vietnamese foods…read more Go try it now, stop reading, who cares, just go!!! Anyway, if you want to read... When we got there, there are uncles chilling in the back parking lot, enjoying their coffee, cigarettes, and friendship, talking about who knows what.. We walk to the front, and there are two doors open, the owner comes out and tells us to come in the right side, but the right side said Cafe Ngo. We were confused and told him we were here for the left restaurant. He said same, but we didn't know. When we ordered, we got what he was trying to say. They own both sides, so he wanted us to sit in the right one so he could chill with his friends while we ate. Ohhhhhh. Sorry, we didn't know. Anyway, we ordered a bowl of pho, a banh mi, and an egg roll plate. The pho tai chin nam gan which is pho with rare steak, brisket, and tendon. The broth was spectacular! The meat cuts were cooked perfectly. Everything was right! The banh mi dac biet came with all the cold cuts. It was delicious! The pate (liver wurst) and all the meats were great. The cha (pork cake sliced) in which some people posted pictured thinking nasty stuff like mold.. no it's not! It's whole black pepper corns that are sliced! Just take a good look! I noticed it right away. It was a great sandwich, great bread, great meats, great ratio! The eggrolls are awesome too! Good ratio, good dipping sauce. Only thing that could have made this entire meal better, some mint with those eggrolls. The whole meal was great and super delicious, and they open super early compared to all other places. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Definitely will be back soon, and again and again too!!!

    I came here because of the Yelp rating. I wanted a Banh Mi and this was close enough to my work…read more I got here right before noon and everyone was working in the kitchen. Took a couple of minutes before I was helped. No biggie. Each table has hoidin, siracha, and fish sauce. If Infelt like pho, this place smells authentic. The sandwich has legitimate bread, crusty roll with good flavor. The vegetables are very good and well proportioned. The meat in the combination sandwich was not the typical lunch meat. I couldn't really identify the meats. But it was clearly put in hot. It was a good sandwich.

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.

    Most affordable pho restaurant in the South Bay that has solid broth!…read more +located on prairie and marine; small parking lot available +we ordered their pho and omg first of all their pride is insane! Regular size bowl is $10.95 and large is $12.95 which is a steal in LA. The soup was very flavorful and noodles were cooked to perfection! I'm kicking myself for not giving this spot a try sooner.

A large pho with rare steak and brisket was just $12.45 and five egg rolls were $8.35. The large pho was perfect for sharing, with a fair amount of tender steak and brisket. The egg rolls were packed with ingredients and were very hearty. I found these egg rolls to be very satisfying! The egg rolls were my favorite. Overall, I found the food here to be good and at an excellent price. The only comment is that they don't provide iced water. They do offer Vietnamese coffee, coconut water and soda for purchase. I made a note to self that I need to bring bottled water if I plan to dine here in the future.
