I always enjoy having an extra large no 1 which is a large bowl but with extra everything by a half portion more of extra and there egg rolls are good not too dry or oily and the spam rolls are good enough not to have soy sauce with them and there not dry but just right there pho is traditional and extremely good enough not needed to add anything extra sauce to it if you do only add a little bit but I come here every once every week so and the parking in good just only one handicapped spot but all the spaces or most of them are near the door. You will enjoy having pho here as much as I do and they can modify each dish to how you like it as well.

This place is just average. For some reason, it’s very difficult to get good bang for your buck, delicious Vietnamese food in the South Bay.

This place is average to decent in comparison to some other places in the South Bay, but if you compare to OC or other areas, this place just doesn’t compare.

Parking is easy with large shared lot off busy Carson St. the place is nice and well kept.

Staff is very friendly. We were waiting for our to go order and the staff offered us water on multiple occasions. It’s a nice place to enjoy a meal

Price to food ratio is a bit off. Prices are on the higher end for what you get in terms of proteins.

For to go pho, you can only order a large or the XL. I was expecting a good portion of meat for a combo, but that wasn’t the case. Proteins, onions, cilantro are packed into one container. Bean sprouts and basil separate

Also got the shredded pork and grilled pork vermicelli. Disappointing amount of pork for the prices.

Flavors are fine and this place can satisfy your Vietnamese food cravings to some degree, but it left me wanting more. I may just be used to the large portion, good bang for your back, satisfying Vietnamese food in other parts of SoCal

Egg roll was crispy and pretty good! There was no wait, but it seemed this place is popular given it was crowded for Monday lunch.
There’re a plenty of parking spots.

The place is disgusting. Food poisoning waiting to happen. Clean your table condiments. I stayed for all the good reviews about the food. Bathroom is disgusting. Bathroom desperately needs to be remodeled, clean whatever that catcher is on the bathroom floor. People put cigarettes buds there and it was full. I've seen better bathroom at a gas station. The food was ok. The rest your going to have to see for yourself

friendly staff. the thing about the BUGS in the pho is real. Had to take some time to fish them out. Broth is amazing though. Still ate it. if you don’t mind bug soup. I just love pho.

The service was terrible. The waitress almost hit me in the face with the menu but hey accidents happen right? Then the guy that brought our food out to us completely ignored us when we requested extra limes. He looked at us and walked away and never came back.
The food was terrible. Maybe we should of gotten the chicken Pho cause I've read the reviews here and I think that's probably the only good thing they have. Even the Thai tea was "eh." I definitely will not be returning.

if I could put a 0 I would, the food was great but when I was finishing my pho I looked closely and saw 6 FLIES??! it was absolutely disgusting, lost my appetite and definitely would not go again. and when I told the ladies who were working there they all just said, “oh sorry” excuse me? and they said that it might be the noodles which is ridiculous, the customer service wasn’t very good either. they were rude, didn’t say much to me. I knew they spoke English too because they were talking in English to other people. please watch out for BUGS in your food.

I had a great lunch today at Saigon Bistro with my parents. Their Pho was one of the best we’ve had in Los Angeles. Very clean environment and good service! We are glad that we found this place, and will definitely be back.

Looking for options near work for Vietnamese cuisine. Read several recent reviews that provided favorable marks, but all start out sounding like an excuse. Flavor not as deep, portion size too small for cost. But satisfactory for area!?! The area most have a very low standard. After ordering an appetizer, soup, and rice dish I can only say that I will not return. The foundation of Pho is flavorful broth and fresh ingredients. The herbs and Vegs were far from fresh and the broth was bland and murky . The meat dish was dry, tough and lacked seasoning. I can only suspect that it was prepared previously and either hot held or rewarmed. Patronizing restaurants is for the purpose of attaining freshly cooked meals. Not to pay for rewarmed leftovers. Very disappointed! Please do not include this establishment as a representation of this area.
