I ordered a large pho to go. The quantity of liquid and noodles was OK, but the pack of sprouts and the meat was adequate of a small. I ordered the brisket and rare beef. All i had were 4 small pieces of brisket, no rare beef. Also, the veg/spice pack was small and only had a few leaves of basil.
I am not sure about Orleans, but compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in the city of Ottawa, it was well below expectations.

Well done beef & Brisket Lg Pho for $20. Weak Broth and very little protein and other toppings. There are better places for Pho out there.

The broth was excellent. Perfect amount of salt for me. The rare beef was very tasty and tender. Good thickness to the noodle.
Nice little atmosphere. Clean. Good price. I will be going back.

A bit of a wait but well worth it for fresh grilled food. Some of the best Vietnamese food in Ottawa and very friendly, communicative service.
This was our first time trying Vietnamese food (fully halal) and I can say it has been an amazing experience.
We ordered their chicken pho, chicken fried rice, stir fried noodles with mild chili chicken and for dessert: banana cheesecake.
Chicken pho was a light flavorful clear broth with noodles and it was a hearty yet refreshing meal ! I will definitely be coming back for more pho ! Their serving size was huge and can easily be shared. The staff noticed that we were going to share and had brought extra utensils and bowls to accommodate us. Not only that they were extremely accommodating of children as well, bringing a colorful set of dishes for my little one to use.
Their chicken fried rice was flavorful and a very kid friendly meal too as it was very easy for my little one to eat and was quite delicious !
Their stir fried noodles with chili chicken was extremely delicious. And once again their serving portions were huge ! Noodles were paired with crispy vegetables and perfectly cooked saucy chicken! Highly recommend !
We ended our meal with fried banana cheesecake and that was the perfect end to this delicious meal ! It was a crispy roll with banana and cold cheesecake inside. The flavors and textures of this dessert were delicious!
The best part of our visit to this place was not only just the food but also the extremely friendly staff. It seemed like a home based restaurant and the husband and wife were an absolutely lovely duo! They gave our little one ice cream as a complimentary gift and they made it really pretty and delicious too ! This was such a beautiful and lovely gesture that made us feel welcoming and wanting to come again.
The ambience is also wonderful. It's the best place to go for a relaxing, hearty, flavorful meal of huge portions! Highly recommend this place !
This place is not for me. Bizarre service. Expect 15 minutes for Pho in an empty restaurant. The pho could be served hotter. Having to explain to the waitress what should come with pho (sprouts, basil, lemon, etc..) was very strange. Tea is not complimentary and is not prepared.
I assume a lot of the positive reviews are for take-out?

Been meaning to try this place out for a while now and tonight was the night! Very very very pleased and will be a regular client from now on. Definitely worth the drive from Ottawa south. I Required a slight modification due to a dietary restriction and they were immediately willing to assist. Ordered Pho, beef Vermicelli, spring rolls and rice rolls. The taste is authentic and full of flavour! Thanks for the accomodations and we'll see you again soon!

Amazing place, the food was absolutely outstanding! I had the beef rice platter, and it was the best meal I have had in years. The lemongrass seasoning was bang on, and the house salad is so fresh and tasty!
The service was exceptional. So friendly and helpful, and she was able to recommend dishes based on our favorite flavours/ingredients.
The whole family enjoyed the meal and experience, and we will be back for sure. Keep up the great work Saigon Bistro!

Disappointed after seeing all the positive reviews. The lady working as the server is nice and no issues with the service. I was just surprised at how salty the special noodle platters were. It was like salt/soya sauce was the main seasoning on those dishes and that was a big let down. The vermicelli noodles were alright.
Food is delicious and the service is amazing. It's our new favourite restaurant in Orleans.
