    Thai Iced Tea
    Athena K.

    Another review here said it best...I cannot believe this place is just casually serving FIRE Vietnamese and Thai food under one roof at Janss. This place is one of my favorite places to eat in the Conejo Valley. I've loved their menu even before the rebrand! Now Sweet Rice Kitchen is back with even more flavorful dishes and bigger portions. My go-tos are their pho (still need to try the post-rebrand version) and pad see ew. I love how light their pad see ew is - not too salty or sauced. If you're down for something more rich and sweet/savory, get the Khao Soi. There was so much meat and noodles that I couldn't finish my bowl! Tips: I recommend ordering all their dishes "spicy." I did not get any spice even with a "mild" level. And always order a Thai iced tea to go with your meal!

    Veggie Egg rolls
    Terry P.

    As we entered, we were immediately greeted and the waitress seemed busy and asked us to grab menus as we went ahead and sat ourselves. We looked over the menu for a few minutes and then she came by and asked if we were ready to order. We were still looking at the menu, so she came back a few minutes later. We were now ready and placed our order. We went with pad see ew with shrimp, veggie egg rolls, house fried rice with chicken, and papaya salad. It is so nice and inviting inside, with the sounds of the wok being worked. Everything came out pretty quickly, and the food and service are amazing as usual! Everything was well made. The flavors are great, the ratios are perfect, the amounts were right. It was all good!!! Definitely give this place a try!

    Pho brisket and Basil Leaves with a Singha

    Pho brisket and Basil Leaves with a Singha and watching the NBA highlights oh yeah! What else do you need. The male cashier and the owner are wonderful and go over the top to make sure your at home and all your hunger pains go away. Perfect meal and great people.

    Ribeye pho

    Had the ribeye pho and it was ready very quickly and delicious! The staff are friendly and attentive. I've also had the khao soi which is incredible and nice to find as not all Thai restaurant serve it.

    Pho
    Ari G.

    Delicious pho and honestly such a great experience. Being pregnant makes me extra picky about cleanliness and meat quality, and this place totally passed the test -- super clean, fresh ingredients, and the meat was high quality with zero gristly bits (which I really appreciated). Everything was flavorful, service was quick and friendly, and I'll definitely be back.

    It would have been a five star review except for some missteps in service. A group of us went on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. The place wasn't crowded so we were seated right away. Everyone ordered various dishes. I had the spicy eggplant and the Lomo Saltado with tofu. They were both delicious. The problem was with one of the dishes. Someone in our group also ordered the Lomo Saltado with beef but for some reason it was taking forever to come. Everyone else got their dishes except that one. We had to ask the server a few times. When it did come out it had the wrong protein, they brought it out with tofu instead of the beef. I felt bad for my friend. Not only did she have to wait a long time for her food but it came out incorrectly. She told the server but she went ahead and accepted it. I think she didn't want to wait again. The server at that point should have been more apologetic and even possibly offered a complimentary drink to compensate for their mistake. I was a bit disappointed in the lack of service recovery. Good thing the dishes were tasty and most likely we will be back again. Hopefully the service will be better next time.

    Garlic noodles with shrimp
    Ashley K.

    I've come here for pho many times, but forgot to leave a review. Today, I had Garlic noodle dish with Parmesan, and it came with horseradish dressing on side for the lil shrimp. The papaya salad was fresh and flavorful. Staff are friendly. Place is clean..all good!

    Came to have lunch, after the gym, and recall there was a ownership change. I was super hungry and wanted try 2 dishes however wanted it in " to go" boxes , so I can pack them up. The server was very friendly and understood wanting to nibble on two meals. The drunken noodles with beef was awesome! I had it medium spice level, however it felt kinda hotter than that however it was tolerable to devour. Great portions and good amount of vegetables & meat. Their other speciality ( per their menu) is orange chicken however they use thigh meat. I typically don't order this dish but the impulse was there and must go forward. It was also very good. I also had a Vietnamese coffee to enjoy. There is plenty of seating inside and outside patio. Would return.

    Lychee lemonade
    Carla R.

    ambiance is casual. Service is done by young bloods lol I mean younger generations- our server was nice and accommodating, very sweet and knowledgeable, but it's like we have to ask for everything. We ordered chicken curry that has soup or juice in it, and we had to ask for spoon on several times... we had to ask for water and straws and napkins. Food tastes great though and good portions for the price.

    After witnessing the cook sneeze repeatedly and then handle my food, the microwave, and the rice bag without proper hygiene, I requested cancellation of my order. The cashier informed me that the refund process would take several days or potentially just 10 minutes. Not only was I disturbed by the cook's actions, but I was also told to expect a delay in receiving my refund of $71.52. (while I waited to get a VOIDED receipt, two ladies overheard my conversation with Miguel, the cashier, and promptly exited.) The cook handling food without proper hygiene warrants consideration for him to receive the "Worst Employee Of The Year Award. Due to this incident, my experience at Ot Bistro is a negative star review (also I do not have any comments about the ambiance because in this situation the ambiance is irrelevant.)

    Pho Ribeye.
    Robyn C.

    We came here for lunch today because my daughter was craving pho and wanted to try someplace new. I reminded her that we came here a while back for Yelp Elite event, but we didn't try the pho that time. Today we had the pho and it did not disappoint. We also had the truffle fries and bacon fried rice. My daughter got a Vietnamese coffee which she said was delicious. The truffle fries were amazing...just like last time. Thin fries that were crispy with a sprinkling of herbs and truffle cheese. The dipping sauces were a nice accompaniment. The fried rice was good with a nice amount of crispy bacon on top. The pho was the star of the show. The broth was flavorful and fragrant. There was a nice amount of ribeye and noodles. The bowl was filled to the top. I'm fairly New to eating pho but this was the best one yet. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant is clean and well kept. It is just around the corner from the movie theater. There is plenty of parking in the parking structure. We had a great lunch and can't wait to return.

    Ribeye Pho Pho
    Mell S.

    We originally stopped by Sweet Rice Kitchen hoping for some pho and vermicelli, but found out it had been turned into a Thai place--no more vermicelli on the menu. Bit of a letdown on that front, but we decided to try a bunch of other dishes. We went for the brisket pho first. It was just okay--the brisket was a little dry, and the broth needed more flavor and toppings. The ribeye pho was more tender and definitely a step up. But honestly, it was the Thai dishes that really won us over. The green Thai chicken curry was flavorful and delicious, and we also loved the cashew nut chicken. The highlight, though, was definitely those shrimp Spring rolls. They were super fresh, and that peanut sauce with a little sweet and sour drizzle was just perfect. Everything was crisp and delicious. In the end, the Thai food outshone the pho for us. Service was great and it has that homey feel! It's a convenient little spot in the mall, easy parking, and if you're craving Thai flavors, it's a great little find.

    Tom Kha soup
    Amelia S.

    This is a solid place to grab Asian food at Janss Marketplace. The Tom Kha soup was tasty and a decent portion. Note that the pho soup contains msg, if you're sensitive to that ingredient. The service was friendly and fairly quick. The restaurant was quiet at around 3pm, but that's also an odd time to dine.

The pho broth is good and tasty but they put less meat in their bowls than other pho places. Spring rolls were lacking a lot of the typical herbs and flavorless. Service was poor.

I had to ask twice about the spring rolls. The rolls came at the very END of the meal after we were super full from eating pho, I was tempted to send them back but my partner still wanted them. It was disappointing though. When we were ready to pay, they said go up front to pay. Whereas earlier they were bringing the bill to the tables. We went up front. There was a long line of people all waiting to pay. I felt disappointed again. I don't know if I'll be back. I'm going to give the other pho places a try before I decide. If I do come back, it's pho only and not expect much from service.

I ordered the spring rolls and the pho special which were promptly served with very clean plates and bowls.

I found the food very easy on the eye and tasty, with extra veggies added if you need it, such as mint etc. Seating arrangements is also very good with a nice mix of seats and table sets. Overall I think Viet Kitchen Saigon seems very comfortable and clean and the food is very good. The restaurant is very conveniently located just off the freeway with ample parking in a large strip mall with a gas station nearby so it's a perfect (safe) place to rest up if you're commuting or on a day trip. Prices are also very reasonable so I'm sure you'll be happy with the value for money.
