- Street parking only; can be challenging during the dinner rush in this busy area - Busy on a Saturday evening; we arrived around 5:30pm and were seated immediately, but a wait began forming before 6pm - Warm lighting and moderate noise level - Decent amount of seating with tables spaced comfortably apart; a few semi-cozy nooks with larger tables that work well for bigger parties - Slight draft inside from the wintry evening every time the door was opened - Service was nonchalant and purely transactional--very much a "get in, order, eat, and get out" vibe; no check-ins after food was served, and we had to grab our own containers to pack up leftovers - Food was OK: Viet "Paella" Fried Rice (limited-time specials menu) had rich seafood flavor and was generously portioned; Saigon Spicy Noodles with Crispy Pork Belly (specials menu) was disappointing with noodles that were unevenly cooked and under-seasoned, and the pork belly skin wasn't crispy, instead hard and chewy; Grilled Chicken Pho was enjoyable overall--broth had good depth and the chicken was well-seasoned and moist - Only one restroom in the restaurant, and it could've used more attention in terms of cleanliness; it was also a bit stressful when taking our toddler in--someone started banging on the door repeatedly just seconds after we locked it...

Food was wonderful, as were the servers! The place itself was clean and had amazing huge windows so super bright in there! Would definitely recommend this place if you're near.

THE GOOD ---------------- + Solid Vietnamese food and tasted better than my 1st experience here. ++++ Viet Paella Fried Rice - On their Specials menu. Lot of shrimp and other seafood. Good flavor to the fried rice and there was PLENTY of it. Definitely an interesting take on your traditional paella. ++++ Grilled Chicken Pho - Excellent pho and flavorful broth. Chicken was tender and tasty. ++++ Saigon Spicy Noodles with Crispy Pork Belly - Was OK. Basically a spicy chow fun with 5 large slices of pork belly laid on top of it. It wasn't bad, but nothing stood out either. + Menu consist of what most would consider traditional Vietnamese food, with the pho being what most people order. + Interior is spacious and the tables are all well spaced out. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Extremely "informal" service. ---- The young waiters and waitresses are all business here. Not much pleasantries or check ins while you're dining. Some might like this no frills approach, but I prefer a more personable dining experience. - No private parking lot, as is the case for most restaurants in Fort Lee. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Came by at 5:30 PM on a freeeeezing January Saturday evening and it was already crowded at 6 PM. There was a decent amount of people waiting, but within 15 minutes most of them were seated.

Mehhh, I hate having a disappointing meal. I was really craving pho, so I decided to check out Saigon Kitchen, a Vietnamese eatery located in the heart of Fort Lee. The restaurant has a casual and cozy atmosphere with touches of traditional decor like bamboo sticks, wooden furniture, and open spaces with natural light. There are tables and booths to accommodate both small and large groups. I came in as a solo diner on a weekday afternoon and was seated immediately. There can be long wait times during peak dining hours, so I suggest coming earlier if you don't want to wait for a while. The menu has your classic Vietnamese dishes like pho, banh mi, shaken beef cubes, lemongrass chicken, etc. They also have specialty Asian fusion dishes. Prices are fair and there's a 5% cash discount. No complaints on the service. The servers are very friendly and warm. They start you off with complimentary hot tea. My food came out quickly. I ordered... *Lemongrass Beef Grilled Skewers $9.95 (includes 2 skewers, spring onion, fried onion flakes, & soy bean peanut sauce) - The flavors were SO OFF. The peanut sauce had a funky taste. It barely tasted like peanuts. I don't know if they used too much vinegar or sugar, but either way... the ingredients were completely unbalanced! The lemongrass marinade was not good at all. Meat that's been marinated with lemongrass usually has a very fragrant, tangy, and smoky aroma... this was not the case here. There was an overpowering minty/herbal/grassy flavor. Did they forget to add in shallots, garlic, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime, or soy sauce???? The beef was a bit tough and chewy... not tender at all. *Pho Beef Combo (Phở Dặc Biệt) (includes beef broth, rice noodles, eye of round steak, brisket, tripe, tendon, meatballs, white onion, cilantro, & scallions with side of raw bean sprouts, thai basil, jalapeno pepper, & lime) $16.95 - This was decent... not bad, but not amazing. To my disappointment, the broth wasn't that aromatic, hot, or flavorful. It did not taste very beefy and the toasted spices like star anise, cinnamon, and coriander didn't shine through. Some of the cuts of beef were too chewy. The flat rice noodles were silky and fresh. They give you a lot of noodles and broth, but the meat portion is skimpy. I didn't enjoy my pho, so I had half of the bowl left over. I hate wasting food, so I packed it up and gave it to someone else LOL. Not a terrible experience overall, but not memorable or great either. The staff is sweet and the ambiance is super homey... but the food was a disappointment. It didn't hit the spot and it didn't stand out from other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to...Maybe I have to try other dishes or give them a second shot...? I'm not completely crossing this place off my list, but I'm not sure if I'd come back when there's better options in the area.

Lemongrass Chicken
Cee E.

Every time I order from here, it feels a bit like a surprise. The recipes don't seem entirely consistent. Sometimes the texture of the chicken changes, other times the sauce does. This time around, the chicken was less crispy than my previous order and much more heavily sauced. That said, it was still incredibly tasty. However, both my husband and I experienced some stomach discomfort and bloating afterward, despite ordering different dishes. I hadn't had this reaction before, so I'm not sure if it was related to an ingredient like MSG or just an off night. I do wish there were more consistency overall, but I was genuinely pleased with the portion size this time; it was noticeably larger and felt like a great value. I'll continue ordering from here because I really enjoy the flavors, and it's still the best Vietnamese food I've found so far in the Fort Lee area.

Once again I was underwhelmed by my bowl of pho. How things have changed. What used to be a fragrant and tasty broth is now now mild and in serious need of doctoring in order to give is decent flavor. Placed a pickup order and restaurant was packed on a snowy afternoon. Will try ordering something else in hopes of getting a more flavorful meal.

Great service, I loved that they also serve hot tea instead of cold tap water. The beef rib pho was a good portion and the soup was fine - it was slightly bland though. The broth was a luke warm temperature whip I was surprised by. I asked around and everyone else's pho broth was also like warm. Temperature makes a big difference in pho because it brings out the different spices.

I came here for lunch with friends and had a good meal! The interior is spacious, with lots of tables for groups of different sizes. Service here is pretty quick, and good. We ordered their spring rolls, salad rolls, and lemongrass wings for appetizers and for entrees, we tried their BBH, vermicelli bowl, and fried rice. Their spring rolls were solid but I felt like the rice paper was a bit hard. Their other appetizers were also decent but nothing crazy. Their entrees were really good portions and full of meat and veggies, which I loved. Although the BBH broth wasn't bad, I noticed that they used the wrong type of noodle for the soup (they used pho noodles). Their vermicelli bowl was good though! And, their fried rice (which I typically wouldn't order) was actually a favorite at our table.

My husband's family and I have been here multiple occasions. We absolutely love the food here. If you're coming here at night time, be prepared to wait. That was our first mistake the first time we tried to come here at night with no reservation. Since we were a party of 6 with 3 additional little ones, we couldn't be seat for a while. Since then, we usually come here midday around 4pm. The food is delicious. Big portion so the prices of the food are reasonable. The staff here are always nice. Fun fact, there is where my now husband and I brought his parents to tell them we wanted their blessings to get married.

Been here a couple times and really enjoyed my meal. Last time I came here I got the regular pho with beef and brisket ($13.95) and the soup base alone was very tasty. There is a good amount of beef and brisket that comes with it. The table has sriracha and hoisin sauce, that's all you really need. Also the fried calamari is soooo good, finished it quick. Overall I had a good experience and I would recommend this place if you are in the mood for pho. * Good service * Municipal parking * Unisex restroom

We were back at SK for Sunday lunch. We walked in few minutes after opening, so got a table right away. The restaurant got almost full within next 15 minutes. The restaurant as usual, was super clean, organized and filled with wonderful decors. This time I had couple of new items that I didn't try before. The chicken wings were surprisingly really good. Soft moist chicken with layer of crispy skin. Then I had the grilled rice platter with chicken, beef and shrimp. The plate came with huge chunks of rice, lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes and of course the delicious fish sauce. Loved everything in the plate, tasted so good. Service was excellent. They always check on the guests, clean out empty plates, refill tea/water cups. Food came out super quick. Overall it was another great family lunch at SK for us.

Saigon kitchen consistently delivers good quality food. We have been here for many years. Very authentic Vietnamese food. The coffee is super powerful. Thai ice tea has strong milk flavor. Clean and spacious inside. We had a group of 5 so they gave us a section at the back. The staff were always nice and friendly. Very attentive. I will recommend to go by opening time otherwise you might have to wait for a while for a table.

Grilled Chicken Pho
Tom C.

We use to visit this place frequently but as life got busier we started ordering from here via Uber Eats and it's still pretty good. Food arrives warm and the spring rolls are still very crispy, just wish they included more than one piece of lettuce. The pho here is very flavorful and they pack the soup separately so the noodles dont get soggy. They often run offers on deliver services and when you order directly from them too. We usually go for their Pho but have tried almost everything on the menu already and you really can't go wrong with anything.

The restaurant had a nice interior, fancy bar, lots of arts and Cuban vibes all around. They had booth seating by the window that had good view of Hudson Terrace and I-9. We started our lunch with appetizer sampler that came with empanadas, croquettes, bao bans and potstickers. I liked both the empanadas (beef and chicken), the chicken potstickers were also good. Ham croquettes and the bao buns with shredded beef were average. For entree I ordered the Rabo Encendido (braised oxtail stew). It came with three pieces of bone with plenty of meat on them, on side of rice and beans. I loved the taste of the oxtail and the stew, was flavorful and meat was tender. I also got to try the seafood paella which lacked flavor, rice was so bland. The chicken & waffle's waffle was good but the fried chicken pieces were so basic. I got the mango mojito (non-achohol) that was so tasty, I ordered two of them. Our server was super nice, did an excellent job throughout the lunch. All staff members were friendly.

But again, blend. Chicken and waffle was dry. At least the chicken was seasoned on this one. Appetizer sampler was not bad.

Steak was cooked well to the Medium Rare temp that we like and was seasoned well. Calamari and shrimp were hot and crispy. Shishito peppers were spicy with a sweet and savory flavor to which I thought paired well with the steak. Broccolini were seasoned and cooked well with a salty and savory flavor. A5 Wagyu roll was very enjoyable but could have used just a bit more meat for the price. Maduros were way too sweet for our liking as they are already sweet itself, but they get drenched in a honey chili sauce as well. For the food we had received and price paid, we've definitely experienced better for cheaper. Felt as if the cost is also more for the ambiance and experience. The place is very nice and aesthetic with a live DJ on a Friday night, but tables and seating arrangements are very close to each other. Side note: Its common to go to restaurants where a party of 4 or more means auto gratuity added, but to be automatically charged 18% for only a party of 2? Thankfully, our server took care of us through the night. Just a heads up for anyone who prefers to tip based on service rather than a preset percentage on the bill.

Its a very small restaurant, limited seating. Hot and sour soup was good, and chicken lollipop was ok ( could use more flavor) . Now for the entres: We got the sczechuan chicken , chicken chili dry and the hakka noodles. We thought it would be strips or cubes of chicken battered but this was not the case. The entrees both use a meatball type of thing as the protein, and was not good at all. The portion of the dishes was so small. The chili dry had more of black pepper taste than anything. There was also a plastic taste in it ( im assuming they store the sauce in a plastic container ?) The sczechuan chicken had a tangy and strange flavor. The hakka noodles had absolutely no flavor but the only thing with a decent portion. Awful food, so mad we spent $75 here ( which is so not appropriate for the location and food). So disappointed.

Like other asian places, they offer chili paste on the table so you can customize your dishes. They have about 6-7 tables, but overall it's more like a take out place. The owner is a nice guy.
