guys, what did you change in the broth recipe? i've been eating your pho literally every week for years and something is off. please change it back, you were my favorite pho spot in bergen county... read more

A COVID era review: Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Seating areas are pretty well maintained and cleaned. Proper distancing enforced, not like some of those restaurants that have tables that look like desks in a Kindergarten class. Live in the era, been here countless times, especially after Bistro Du Saigon closed. The place is nice, never really had a bad experience. Gets quiet busy during peak hours, so be prepared if you're trying to keep your distance. Staff is nice. Would definitely recommend, just please remember to wear your masks. The Food: I've tried around half the menu. My favorites include: -Vermicelli Combo Bowl (3 meats/proteins) -Banh Mi (Pork) -Any of the Fried Rice The once in a while: -Beef Pho -Summer Rolls -Lemongrass Chicken Would not really suggest: -Curry Noodles -Pad thai I feel a little bad coming to viet places even though I don't like Pho that much. The Pho is good, I just don't eat Pho that often. The only foods I didn't really enjoy as much as the rest of the menu were the Curry Noodles and Pad thai. The curry noodles weren't very good and pretty dry. Pad thai was better than the curry noodles, but if you want pad thai there's plenty of other places you should go instead since its such a common food. read more

Good take out!! Hit the spot -pad Thai and pho Would recommend but I don't have any more information read more

The springs rolls were hard and I order the pad Thai and it was one of the worst pad Thais I have rate

Food is generally tasteful and on par. The Pho was very good in terms of flavour and portion. Service was quick despite the line for seating. Garlic shrimp was delicious although portions could have been more and the rice cooked better. Definitely get the appetizer sampler. Overall a good place for Vietnamese cuisine. read more

I've ordered takeout from here a few times since my last review and recently dined in (June 2022). Quality seems to be consistently declining. Unfortunately, this is no longer the best banh mi we've ever had. There is very little meat now, and the bread doesn't seem fresh, nor is it properly toasted as a banh mi should be. The grilled meats that are served with vermicelli or rice are all dry. I think they cook everything ahead of time and either leave it under a heat lamp, or reheat it. Either way, it definitely does not taste like it is cooked to order. My husband got the pad Thai, which I've always been intrigued by but was never brave enough to order this at a Vietnamese restaurant. But I was pleasantly surprised. The portion was a nice size and the noodles had a nice flavor. The only downside is if you pick a protein, they grab it from the same pile of pre-made meats used for the noodles/rice. He ordered it with beef and it was literally a pile of grilled beef on top, instead of it being sautéed with the noodles. I would probably order this again but opt for tofu instead. I finally tried the Spicy Lemongrass soup this time, and really liked it. It wasn't too spicy and had just the right about of lemongrass flavor (without any lemongrass bits in the soup). I may come back but the only items I'll order are the cha gio, soup (including the pho), or pad Thai. read more

I have lived in six different cities throughout the US and I think at this point I have probably tried several dozen pho places. I've had bad pho, okay pho, good pho and amazing pho. People are always surprised when I tell them that the best pho that I have ever had was in a hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese restaurant in Cleveland, OH. It was my favorite restaurant in Cleveland, and we went every other week. That pho was amazing. Our go-to pho place in Chicago was a half-hour drive from our apartment. We went there maybe once a month. That pho was good. Our go-to pho place in Los Angeles was a place nestled in Sawtelle Japantown that we consistently ordered take-out from throughout the pandemic. That pho was good too. The pho at Saigon Kitchen is amazing. We've been here four times already in the past month. We've taken three different out of town guests here. The waitstaff in the restaurant recognize who we are. What makes a good pho is the broth. This broth is perfectly flavored with just the right mix of spices and just the right amount of sweetness. This is a broth that you want to slurp up even after finishing all of the noodles. Our extremely picky toddler drinks the broth. It's one of a grand total of three soups that he is willing to eat. Aside from this, the meat melts away in your mouth, and the noodles soak up the broth quite nicely. The vermicelli, banh mi and spring rolls are quite good too. There is outdoor dining, but be forewarned - there are dumpsters near the outdoor dining area and sometimes they smell. Pick a table on the side of the restaurant closer to the Sunmerry bakery. Anyways, we will be back. Probably next week. read more

Good was great, service was good, price was wonderful! Loved it! I'll go back again with my parents and friends. Parking wasn't the best but they have a parking underground. read more

Good, reliable Vietnamese food for when you crave some banh mi or pho. I have only ordered for takeout and pickup. Employees are always friendly and offer great service, and orders are made very quickly. read more

I ordered take out. Which was the first time even eating at this place. But based on the reviews I decided to give it a try. My order was ready by the time stated in my text. I stated in the comments of my order I wanted both orders of lemongrass pho extra spicey.(I will get back to this) I see they have to oils for sale, I ask the hostess are there samples of it. She says yes and comes back with it and states it's $2. I was floored, and stated this isn't a sample. She agreed and shrugged it off. Now I'm home ready to enjoy my pho remember when I stated I wanted it extra spicey well there was 2 jalapeños in each container. This is a disappointment to say the very least. I did enjoy my pho but it simply wasn't spicey enough, the flavor was delish but for the hassle I'm not sure if I would bother with a take out order again. On top of having to pay $2 for chilli oil when other restaurants gives it for free. I literally thought I was getting something different, but it's a chilli oil very simple and not worth paying $2. read more

Food: 4.0 Service: 4.0 Price: 4.0 Ambiance: 4.0 Overall: 4.0 I went to this place after reading some glowing reviews on yelp. I had a craving for pho, especially on a rainy day. Food: We ordered pho and fried rice. I had seafood pho and krab fried rice. I'm usually portion first but this pho had both the quantity and quality I look for in a pho. Service: Servers were courteous and prompt when asked for water and etc. Price: Given the portion, I thought the price was reasonable. Ambiance: It was clean and somewhat modern interior. Bathroom was also clean. Overall, I would go back to this place for sure. read more

Came here for lunch. The restaurant looks clean and spacious. The food was ok. The server can be more tentative in checking in. The restaurant was not crowded. There is only one restroom so it's not ideal for a spacious restaurant. read more

I think better to eat there vs take out. The spring roll was cold and hard to bite into.

Nothing like pho on a chilly day! I decided to stop by here on a very cold day and I was not disappointed. We were seated right away as the place is pretty spacious and they're able to sit many. I also noticed that they had cute little private sections for big groups, if you're thinking of going out with your team or for your birthday! The ambience is very chill and relaxed. Now let's talk about the food! We started off with spring rolls; which tasted great. Then, I had the pho house specialty and it was delicious! not salty at all which I loved, good amount to get you full, and just the right amount of flavor! They also serve tea with your food. All in all it was just what I was looking for. I would totally visit again! read more

I love this place, probably the best Vietnamese place in the area. Combo vermicelli bowl is a must order, can't say anything about their Pho. I can definitely say something about their pork belly banh mi, usually I expect it to be fried pork belly but it was something along the lines of boiled? Really weird, but anyway, the vermicelli bowl is my favorite and it has been the same for years now, so good. read more

Clean, spacious Vietnamese restaurant where I got a solid reasonably priced banh mi for lunch.

I drove! Yes, I actually left my house to go pick this food up because it was soooo delicious and they didn't deliver to my area. I also ordered enough for 5 people - WELL worth the drive. I started with their vegetable spring rolls and tofu summer rolls. The spring rolls were crispy and light, and their tofu summer rolls were delightful. So much flavor! I moved on to the mushroom and tofu banh mi. Absolute flavor bomb/party in my mouth. The tender tofu and mushrooms mixed with the crisp, pickled vegetables and the soft bread were mouthwatering. I had to have the vegetarian pho, and have since had it three times. Their broth is a magically spiced elixir that made me feel great, after a lingering cold but also satisfied my soup/noodle craving. Their house fried rice, no egg for me, was tasty AF. Much fresher and "healthy" tasting than the common fried rice, and even delicious cold. My favorite part of the meal ended up being their corn pudding with coconut cream. All I have to say about that is that I licked the container clean. I have already ordered from here three times and will definitely be going back read more

always a good time here.. the chicken wings honestly a must try. the have all vegetable pho with its own broth. theres a wide selection on the menu. Viet coffee with the condensed milk a must if you need to stay up after or for hours lol read more

Loved this restaurant. Lovely wait staff. I highly recommend the Basa, a flaky type of white fish, sweet and tender with a hint of black pepper and carmel sauce. Quite a nice surprise. We travel quite often, and Pho is our go-to when hungry. The flavors were all there, but I missed some of the richness. We will come back again to try more. This did not disappoint and parking was no problem. read more

My friend and I just enjoyed a weeknight meal at the Saigon Kitchen. We selected the spring rolls, chicken wings, banh mi sandwich, and pho (the original with all of the types of beef). The spring rolls were exceptionally crispy with a flavorful filling. The chicken wings were also perfectly crispy and featured a sauce with excellent depth of flavor. (I sensed a hint of fish sauce applied well) The banh mi sandwich featured great bread and flavorful fillings, the pate added nicely to the sandwich. They allowed us to share the pho, which opened us up to having a larger number of appetizers. The pho broth was delicious, beefiness cut with cinnamon and clove. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the various types of beef were all good. The staff at the restaurant were friendly and helpful and the prices were reasonable. Certainly worth a return trip. read more

Food: Beef pho soup was just ok. Could have deeper flavor. Quantity is a bit on the lesser side. Service: Nothing extra. Just a regular amount of service. Have to ask for things if you need it.

I don't get the bad reviews because this and Saigon Bistro are the best pho places in town. The Korean Pho spots are no bueno, sorry. The staff is always so kind and super quick. Please treat staff with the respect you wish to receive from others, wherever you go. Lemongrass Spicy Pho is my favorite but sometimes I have to cut back on spicy so the beef is my next favorite. The ambiance is perfect. I love that it's a large space so you can breathe and move around without knocking over someone else. There's a lot of light and open space but also some more private areas which is nice too. They thought of everything! Thank you, Saigon! read more

Came here for lunch and they were open for dine in and also had outdoor dining. Service was great. We ordered the calamari, viet wings and summer rolls to start. The calamari was a tad bit dry and the sauce wasn't the one show in pervious reviews; it was just the normal sweet and chili. The wings were pretty good, very freshly fried and the sauce was based off fish sauce and soy sauce. The summer rolls were great as they made it with very thin rice paper wrappers. We ordered the beef pho combo, the pork chop with bone and the caramelized basa (fish). The pho was great! Great flavors and lots of meat! The pork chop was pretty under whelming and lacked seasoning and didn't seem fresh off the grill and just reheated. The caramelized basa was also pretty ok, not the best but pretty full of flavor. Overall, this place is know for its pho and that's probably what you should order here. Everything else is pretty average, not bad but nothing to brag about. read more

The pho here was okay, I felt like it lacked depth and richness. I had the beef pho and it was a little bland. The beef skewers were okay ago well, I think the sauce it came with could have been better. It was very pricey at $10 for 2 skewers. The Vietnamese chicken wings were pretty tasty and crispy. The Skaken beef was quite delicious and flavorful. read more

This spot was good! Food was great! Prices were what we expected $12-$16 a main plate depending on what you order. The only downside were the summer rolls! When they came out I was so shocked at the size and quantity of it. It was too small. At other Vietnamese restaurants in NYC we usually get more for the same price ($8 or $9). The spicy lemongrass soup was good though! I love spicy food so it didn't taste as spicy as I wanted it to be but it did taste very similar to how my mother used to make it. My partner enjoyed chicken curry stew! We would definitely come again! read more

I tried this place on my recent trip to New Jersey and I was not happy with the food I received. I ordered a Spicy Lemongrass Soup which was advertised on the menu in Vietnamese as Bun Bo Hue because I wanted a bowl of Bun Bo Hue. Instead, I got a bowl of something that was not in fact Bun Bo Hue but a Frankenstein'ed version of it. Someone thought it was a good idea to make Bun Bo Hue with Pho ingredients. They opted to use the incorrect thin rice noodles used for Pho instead of the correct vermicelli noodles. They opted to use the incorrect Bo Bien beef balls and Tai rare steak used in Pho as proteins instead of the correct cha lua pork sausage, pork blood, and pork knuckle. When I received my order, I almost thought I received the wrong order but they confirmed that what I got was "Bun Bo Hue". I asked if the owner was Vietnamese because it was so bizarre to make Bun Bo Hue with Pho ingredients and they confirmed the owner was Vietnamese. As a Vietnamese immigrant, I don't know if or why anyone would do such a thing. The Spicy Lemongrass Soup is neither Bun Bo Hue nor Pho but rather a strange combination of the two and should not be described on the menu as Bun Bo Hue because. I would avoid this place and go to another that knows the correct way Vietnamese dishes are made. read more

I've been wanting to go back to try this restaurant and finally had the opportunity. My husband, daughter and I had a wonderful experience dining on the outdoor patio. Tables are spaced apart and COVID protocols were followed. We felt very comfortable. We were greeted by a friendly server and promptly received menus and delicious hot tea. We ordered chicken wings as an appetizer. Yummy! We devoured them! Spiced just right. We also ordered two Pho and a vermicelli bowl. The portions were generous and the flavors outstanding. The service throughout our meal was attentive but never felt rushed. Wine glasses were provided (we BYO Sparkling wine and beer)and our tea (which was nice and hot and perfect on a cool day) was replenished without having to ask for a refill. I am already looking forward to dining here again....soon! Thanks for a great experience. read more

Saigon Kitchen - Sandwich is still had mayo - Vietnamese Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

I ordered spring rolls, papaya salad, and TWO signature pho bowls with beef on Grubhub. I waited 25 min before picking up my order. I was still waiting when I arrived. Having a busy day, I needed to quickly pick up the food, there were only 2 tables seated. It was not busy. Upon finally getting to my destination, I discovered they forgot one of the pho bowls. Also, THE SPRING ROLLS WERE POPPED. The papaya salad somehow tastes like toothpaste. The customer service was HORRIBLE. I called stating they forgot one of my entrees. No apologies, just said okay we will give you a refund. They didn't even ask if we would want to pick up the food they forgot. It's not an appetizer that's a whole entree, the other person is hungry too. We wanted a meal not our money back. Finally arriving to pick up the food, again no apologies and still waiting for the missing food. There were no tables it's still not busy I don't understand the excuse. Just abruptly handed the food with no care in the world. We had to drive in the rain to pick up food YOU forgot to pack. In my original order I asked for extra limes and cilantro in BOTH pho bowls. Of course in the one they forgot and we had to pick up again - they forgot to give extra limes and cilantro. Horrible customer service, food is subpar and popped spring rolls impossible to dip in the sauce. Why even order from this establishment. read more

I was craving some Vietnamese food after the Japanese food outings last week and was very happy to find Saigon Kitchen at Fort Lee to fill my needs. Overall it was a great meal but it had some drawbacks. They do have a first order discount on Seamless which is why tempted me to go with them as there are couple other choices in the area. The front door was a little hard to see at first since their front sign was very inconspicuous and it was raining quite hard at the time. Fortunately a fellow UberEats driver was at the front door and letting me know my order was ready lol I guess he must have thought mine was his delivery order at first. There's a municipal parking lot in the area if street parking is full so it wasn't very difficult to find parking for pick ups. Unfortunately the broth did get a bit cold when I got home but its definitely great that they kept the soup separately. The beef skewers were a bit let down, pretty pricey ($9.5) for two not so tender skewers and I definitely would be passing on that next time. However the bahn mi and pho were excellent although bit more expensive than what I was expecting. Still the food quality is good just be aware you might have to heat up the food or just order when closer to their restaurant as they seem to have the order filled quicker than the quoted 20 minutes. Definitely would be visiting this establishment again for take outs or dining in when that is eventually available. read more

As a vegetarian my go to order for Vietnamese cuisine is the classic Banh Mih and Vegetarian Pho - Saigon Kitchen makes both dishes deliciously! I really enjoyed the Pho, it wasn't too salty and you could really taste the flavor and freshness of the veggies. I think this was perhaps one of the best Pho I've had! The veggie Banh Mi was also yummy but wasn't so happy w/ the bread - wasn't crispy and fresh as hoped for but yummy nonetheless. Looking forward to getting some take-out from here again! read more

The pho at Saigon Kitchen is perhaps one of the best in the area. The broth is just absolutely delicious. Despite the generous portion of meat, the soup is surprisingly clean and light. Before drowning your broth in sriracha and hoisin sauce, please taste it! It doesn't need anything added! The broth itself is rich enough that it can do without additional seasoning. And of course, the noodles are perfectly cooked. My only qualm is the lack of service. The couple times I have been here, they were always understaffed and the service lagging. There appeared to be only 2-3 servers working both indoor and outdoor dining (including the cashier). read more
