My bf and I recently discovered this amazing Vietnamese spot, and it’s quickly become our go to place almost every weekend! The food is absolutely phenomenal. The pho is perfection—the broth feels like a warm hug, rich, flavorful, and comforting, the dumplings are delicious, the summer rolls taste fresh, and the Thai tea is always perfectly brewed from real tea leaves. Everything we’ve tried has truly exceeded our expectations.
Beyond the incredible food, the service is equally impressive. The owner and staff are always friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. If you’re craving authentic Vietnamese flavors in a welcoming atmosphere, this is definitely the place to be!

What a fantastic variant of the standard pho noodle dish. The fragrance, the flavors, the right amount of spice kick to it all. All parking is a bit difficult to find in this neighborhood, so we had to drive around the block a few times. Small establishment, so I can see that you may have to wait for a table if it gets full.

My partner and I went here as we were in the area for errands. Super worth it to visit!
The broth of their phở is fantastic! (complex flavor, yet light. The first sip gave my partner and I that umami experience where it led us to continue to slurp and slurp the soup). For its (affordable, I think) price point, they gave generous amount of noodles and the proteins (meatballs, beef).
I would rate them beyond 5 stars if Google allows me!!! 😀

For someone who really loves Vietnamese food, it’s not easy to find a really good Vietnamese restaurant in New Jersey. But, I finally found it.
The spring rolls ,fried chicken wings with fried garlic on top, and homemade dumplings were my absolute favorites (although the dumpling skin was thicker than usual, it was extraordinary). Of course, pho noodle soup the winner of all! It was the very different from other restaurants, with a deep-naturally flavored broth and tender beef texture. Oh it was so delicious . Can’t wait to return and try other dishes from the menu.
It’s a small family-run restaurant, where you can feel right at home as you enter. If you are in Jersey and crave Vietnamese food, come to this place. (It’s also BYOB.)

We dined at Saigon Bistro tonight, the most dish impressed us immensely was shaken Cubed-Steak, the steak was tender and had a remarkably smooth texture. We felt a bit chilly when we just came in, and one of the staff members promptly noticed our discomfort. She kindly offered us hot tea, a gesture that significantly improved our dining experience. Throughout our meal, she was attentive, frequently refilling our hot water and ensuring all our needs were met with a warm and friendly approach. Overall, Saigon Bistro is a highly recommendable restaurant for anyone seeking a cozy and satisfying Vietnamese dining experience. The availability of parking spaces right at the entrance is an added convenience, although these are limited.

*UPDATE* I have been eating here many times, and Iately I have noticed an inconsistency in their food quality a few times on a take-out order. So, I’m taking a star away from the rating. The food is not always prepared the same way, and sometimes their pork is very dry and burnt. Also, the portion is not generous compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in the area.
The best Vietnamese food I tried in the area.
I ordered a spicy lemongrass soup and beef combo pho, and they were spot on. The broth was deep, and the food was delicious! Very happy I found this place. Service was quick, and the staff was friendly. The only thing is the noodles were on the soft side. Regardless, I will be back to eat what I had again or try other dishes on the menu.

Was looking for a place to buy pho. Google mapped it and found this spot without knowing it was the same restaurant in the city where I live in Jersey City. The food was amazing and I recommend it 100 %. The staff were very friendly. Will go back.

Fantastic small Vietnamese restaurant, with great food, even better service and ok seating. For a small location, they made good use of their limited space and they communicate regularly if the food will be delayed. My only small complaint would be probably due to the kitchen being so close and the ventilation not being great, our clothes had the food smell afterwards but I won’t take a star off since it wasn’t too bad. I know their prices will go up eventually but their current price for their food quality is hard to beat.

My new fav spot. Cozy clean small store has about 6 tables, well loved by locals (there were 2 families of 4, 1 family of 6 dining when I visited)
Ordered the spicy lemongrass pho, wanted to try something different than the traditional pho but I can’t really do too spicy. Asked to make it mild and they kindly adjusted it to my liking! The broth is clean tasting but still rich, onion and holy basil was fresh. The beef and meatball was tender but I wished it was not fully cooked so I can control how well done is the meat but I understand not all pho places will serve “pink” meat. Thai ice tea was perfect too, creamy tasty not super sweet. Highly recommend!!
