Bida Saigon is the best restaurant in town. – Knoxville – Reddit
70 votes, 21 comments. I like them quite a bit. It’s my girlfriend’s favorite vietnamese restaurant. I’m also a fan of Pho 99.

Bida Saigon is unassuming in it’s presentation of classic vietnamese food. However, it continues to fuel my presumption that some of the best food is hidden away in strip malls, closer than you’d expect. We ordered the vermicelli bowl, beef pho, shrimp spring rolls, and a thai tea to wash it down.
The pho is always fantastic. It has a clean broth that has a lot of body in itself but they also provide toppings such as hoisin, sriracha, and chili oil to adjust to your preference. If you don’t like it, it may be your fault.
The spring rolls have a great chew due to the rice paper, a nice bouncy texture, and the noodles inside act as a mop when dipping into their peanut sauce. It is a fantastic binary solution in which the roll provides substance and the sauce provides moisture and flavour.
The vermicelli bowl was something I wanted to try after seeing it online. Would definetly recommend dousing it in the provided fish sauce as it adds a sweet and savory flavour. The crushed peanuts, meat, chopped eggrolls, noodles, and pickled/fresh vegetables create an amazing texture experience. Do not sleep on this dish! It is one I would recommend everyone to try at least once.
Finally, the thai tea was fantastic. As a pakistani-american, the flavour of the tea itself reminds me of chai, but in a whole new context! Thai tea seems to have less milk, more sugar, and is served cold. It’s a great contrast with hot pho and I would definetly get it again.
With that, there’s only two more things I feel I need to comment on. The service and the price. The service at Bida Saigon is incredible in it’s speed, efficiency, and care. I never ran out of water and we were tended to immediately as we sat down. More so, the food came out at an incredible speed! (Must have been under 5 minutes?) To top it off, the prices are fantastic. In an age where even fast food is getting more and more expensive, it begs the question why you wouldn’t just come to a nice local spot like Bida Saigon and enjoy their delicious food.
Overall: 10/10

Wonderful spiced and great portions. As a vegetarian the vegan broth was very delicious. Thank you so much we will be back!

The restaurant is clean, but this is definitely not Bun Bo Hue. I’m Vietnamese, and I’ve never seen Bun Bo Hue like this before. There’s no flavor of lemongrass or shrimp paste, and they don’t even serve the usual vegetables that come with it. If you can’t make it right, don’t call it Bun Bo Hue.
If you’re looking for authentic Bun Bo Hue, this isn’t the place.
Even the pho tastes a bit off — maybe the dishes here aren’t made for Vietnamese tastes

We ordered Hu Tieu and Com Suon dac biet, these were all we got. The worst Vietnamese food ever. Pork seemed to be boiled and dipped in orange color? Hu Tieu went with vegetable which go with Pho? I DONT recommend this restaurant

We tried this place for the first time and unfortunately had a disappointing experience.
The staff member who took our order did not seem very welcoming, and we didn’t feel comfortable as first-time customers. We were told we could order a small bowl of pho for our child, but it was significantly smaller than the regular size, did not include the garnish plate, and was only $1 less than the regular bowl. That felt really unreasonable.
The beef in the pho was quite dry, and the broth tasted overly sweet. The pork chops were bright orange in color, which was unexpected and concerning.
Overall, the experience did not meet our expectations. We won’t come back again!
If you want some good pho, Sticky Rice Cafe or Asia Kitchen would be much better than here.

0/10 the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. We ordered the pho, and from one sip I had to push it away. The meat was spoiled but I’m assuming they thought it’d be fine if they threw it into the soup. The broth was way too sweet to even be considered pho. The owner came up and said I had to put all the spices and sauces to make it better. When I said no thank you, he started his spiel about how “they’ve been there for 16 years, and they use the same formula as always. And since I got it, I have to pay for it” the most ridiculous customer service. I’d shut this place down right away.

Some of the tastiest food I’ve had in this city. Modest atmosphere with cute fishes. Tried a variety on the menu but the Pho was the main event! So much flavor at an affordable price. Can’t wait to go back!

This is “something” bún not Bun Bo Hue at all. Taste like nothing but SWEET. Wasn’t even 30 mins and she brings out the check ♀️

The dish I got was as sad as it gets. The “bun” was a dry bread that tasted like it spent three generations in the freezer. It was filled with a miserable amount of “Vietnamese” chicken and vegetables. It was very dry and tasteless overall. The pho we had was OK, no more than that.
The service was also horrible. After they served the (lame) dishes they immediately put the check in the table, before we even started eating.
I will never come back to this place.

First time coming here. The food was good but I wish the vegetables were a little fresher. The greens and sprouts were a little old and started to go bad. We ordered oho, bah mi, summer roll and pancake. Everything was good.
