Everything was great until we were paying. They charge a credit card fee ☹️ their reason for that? Credit card processing company charges them, who doesnt pay those fees 😆 Even Amazon pay the fees, its a poor decision by the ownership, they are not as busy as they used to, could that be the reason 🤔 We are definitely going elsewhere next time we have PHO.
We are from Seattle. And Seattle is known for good pho. We really missed eating good pho. And we found SAIGON BISTRO and their pho DID NOT DISAPPOINT US!!! You want pho? GO TO THIS PLACE!!!!!
Food was okay. But expensive. I got the beef fried rice w/o onion. Was 12.99 plus tax.
The food here was fantastic! The Phö really matches our homemade recipe so it definetely hit the spot. The service is instant and the atmosphere is very calming. 10/10 would come again 😋
This is for take out. I am really disappointed. I drove 15-20 mins out of my way. I called and specifically asked for extra hoisin and sriracha over the phone for my to go, for my large pho and rolls.They literally gave me 3 packets. Im really upset, when I called back they only apologized and tried to blame the guy who ordered the phone.Not only was the order $21 I also tipped generously in cash to be disappointed. Nice time check your bag before you leave!
This place was one of my favorite pho restaurants in Torrance, but not any more. Yet it’s taste remains the same, I have many things to complain: 1) bad service, no water in the first three minutes, and no help in rearranging chairs to get a spot for a high chair; 2) bad environment, at least five flies flying around my table; 3) poor value for money, a reduced size bowl with an increased price (~$15/pho after tax) and 4) ridiculously cash discount rule — 3% surcharge if you don’t pay in cash.
Food is just “okay.” Service to a what you would expect at a pho place. They charge a 2.5% fee (yes, you read correctly!) should you choose to use your credit card. It gets really hot in here so dress appropriately! Lots of parking available.
I come here all the time and I am never disappointed. Their egg rolls and spring rolls are delicious. I love their bun, and their pho is amazing. However, this time I ordered the shrimp and egg noodle soup which did not let me down. Their bone broth is so well made that you dont need to add any condiments. If you havent already eaten here, please do.
Great place for pho and other Vietnamese dishes. I’ve been to many and this place has the best pho around! My kids will not eat Pho anywhere else!The combo rice and vermicelli dishes are great as well. The peanut sauce for the shrimp spring rolls is the best I’ve tasted.Prices are reasonable and portions generous.Great meal for the family when you don’t want to cook!
Nothing bad to say really, it was a nice relaxing time when I was there.
Wanted to find a local Pho place and this place blew it out of the water! Service is quick, the pho is amazing and the prices are reasonable. Unlike most pho places that have bland chicken pho, this place actually seasons their chicken! The chow Mein is also amazing
Authentic Vietnamese food & good service. Food is a bit pricey and the portion size isn’t great. Nice to try at least once but would probably not return.
Cheap prices and the Pho is decent, good portions. The rolls are pretty gross though and its not in a good location. They have TVs all placed in convenient spots so no matter where you sit, you can watch while you eat. Spacious dining area.
I ate Chicken pho.It tasted terrible. My friend found bug inside her dish. I’ll never go here.
My family and I come here at least 2 times a month. Sometimes I take it to go and the portions is exactly the same as their sit down. We love coming here for their Soups. Their broth is awesome. I Usually get the Large #1 and share with my kids since they dont usually have a big appetite. Highly recommend
Loved my Meat and tendent Pho, extra herbs. I got a small big enough for two. I was able to eat half very filling. The shrimp and pork spring rolls were awesome. just tge right size. This is my next go to soup spot.
This place never fails!! Everything is made fresh!! Their Pho is one of the best I have had in the southbay!! Friendly staff!!
First time back here after nearly a year. No reason why we stopped going, because when we visited and started eating, we asked ourselves, why havent we been here in so long, this place is great! So yeah, food is good, service is good, prices are good. The pho is our favorite, Rare steak with extra noodles. Yum. Just make sure you ask for extra limes, oddly difficult to get them to serve more with the order, lol.
I do come here often enough and that is because their soups are good. Yes there is plenty of parking and yes the place is easy to find. It is never crowded because their main clientele consists of office people who work around the area.Its semi kept, the owner seems not interested in the interior design details, but I come here for the soups so this doesnt bother me at all.
Ive been to a lot of pho places before and usually most have like weird tasting meat thats been sitting in the fridge for a long time.. but it was my first time coming here and I must say, it was delicious. The pho broth was nice and flavorful. But the brisket was to die for. Literally melts in your mouth and all the meats were fresh. Not to mention all the cute little old Asian men working there were SO NICE. Customer service is definitely a plus on top of the food! Love the place, will definitely recommend
I have been here many times with both friends and family and every time I do come, I leave satisfied. Not only is the food the right comfort food you want from pho places but the atmosphere is also so welcoming. It looks like a home and the staff treat you like youre at home with family. Theyre SUPER NICE. I love love LOVE this place for pho in Torrance.
I was a bit disappointed with the takeout portions my bf got for me. He got us 4 soups and all were half bowls. 3 pieces of meats.. It seems wayyyyy much less meats than the last time I’ve been here. I know Years ago but I don’t live in South Bay anymore. Still clean broths, but not filling.
Closed on Saturdays. See photos.We had been here a year ago and came back for the Pho. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed.
Love this place, homemade soup/pho is simple and delicious. The restaurant/building is getting old, needs updating but the food is dope so who cares about that other stuff anyway. Friendly staff, hardly ever waiting.
Simple, homey Vietnamese restaurant. The food is delicious, very affordable. The broth is clean tasting without the extra fat. Generous portions and vegetables are all fresh and highy quality meats. Service is warm and welcoming. Plenty of parking.
I miss the old pizza hut that used to be here, but after some time this restaurant has really grown on me. Check out their pho, rice dishes or rice noodles with delicious combinations! Very friendly staff and overall tasty food near Carson and Western.
Place was busy. We got a seat right away and our order was taken fast. The wait time to receive our pho was a little longer than I would expect but not terrible. Food was great overall.
Love the pho broth here. Super friendly family owned business. Surprised to see them make crispy spring rolls by hand and not frozen out of a box. Iced tea very refreshing. Filet mignon plate is also very good
This is the first Vietnamese restaurant that I went. I had a shrimp phó and it was pretty good, will come back for sure
2022 and still my favorite PHO!My go to place for pho! They have pretty chill servers. And you wont find hair or be rushed to eat like in Blue Lotus. Been going here for years!!!
I ordered the pho with rare beef and it was delicious. The broth was perfect and so was everything else. Very kind and friendly servers.
Delicious pho!! The pork sandwich was good but not the bahn mi we were looking for (go to little house of Mary for that). I liked the crunchy bread and the pork was super flavorful. The ambiance was super casual and they have 3 flat screen tvs playing instead of music so if your date is easily distracted, beware. 😊
1st tine ordering take out. Ordered Pho Ga Large not my style. I prefer the original locations I eat and order Pho Ga. Sorry not returning.
Cant go wrong with their pho! Decent sized portion and amount of noodles; broth has a nice flavor; and the meat is not too thick were it becomes tough.
Broth decides pho / noodles. The broth is almost as good as the best I had years ago in Brea.Tried a second time lately after several other pho places. Still the best around this area
The place is definitely understated, but the food and prices are good. Staff is friendly and will remember you if you come in regularly. Parking and getting into the parking lot itself can be a bit of a headache during normal lunch or dinner hours. I would definitely check it out, you wont be sorry!
I love pho noodles and eat a lot wherever I go to local/business trip, Los Angeles, Kentucky, Florida, NYC, etc. But, here is the best pho place. If this shop would be 100, others would be rated between 70-90.
I love the Pho! What makes it even more pleasurable is the customer service. I love taking others there for the experience.
Excellent Pho! Great service. Fast. Added to my star list.
Ehhhhhh, pfffffff, wont return. Guess Im spoiled living in Westminster / little Siagon where there are hundreds of pho spots, seems like when I try pho outside of little Siagon, its always piss, soup base, not good. Not true pho. All that said, they were very busy, packed, with several people standing waiting for a table at lunch time, by non-viets whom dont know the difference, and quality, nothing to compare.
Price is okay. Their signature dish must be the beef Pho. It tastes natural, meaning the broth is from real beef, not instant bouillon like other restaurants. Parking is not crowded during lunch.
We went in sat down waited 10 15 min another group came in after us and they got served right away menu and everything we walked out went to TACOS SINALOA. if I could would have gave no star instead of one disrespectful and rude owners . They didnt even bother to apologize .
Not a bad place to have pho and other Vietnamese cuisine, guess I was expecting a little more from the service. When I ordered a bowl of pho I asked the waiter if they can make it spicy and he points to the sriracha sauce (most times Ive had pho you can request to make it spicy, and the chef prepares it for you).On the menu they have spam masubi, which I was excited about so I ordered it.When he served me the masubi I asked if they have teriyaki sauce, and the waiter pointed to the hoisin sauce which is not the same thing. (whats spam masubi without teriyaki sauce to dip it in?)Also, they never refilled my water :(
Had the pho #1 Large. Little pricey compared to most pho places, esp in LB and Westminster. Broth was good. Bowl was small.
I had the chicken noodle Pho. Delicious. Great service!
The place had lots of customers at lunchtime but we didnt have to wait at all. Everyone working there was helpful and attentive. The food was delicious and fresh.
Tons of food for a great price if you pay in cash. If you pay with card theres a small upcharge. Also fyi they dont take american express tho.
Absolutely amazing delicious food service is fantastic fast
Surprisingly very good and fresh! Had the large #1 pho and BBQ vermicelli #32. Flat $17 for both including tax. Will go back!
Hands down, Saigon Bistro serves the best, most flavorful Pho! Weve tried many other places, but none of them can even compare.
Delicious pho. Always packed because its a great spot. Appetizer banh mi was not appetizer sizes and super tasty. Totally recommend this spot.
Sooo good! Everything we ordered was delicious. My favorite place for pho from now on.
Simple menu. Good staff. Friendly service. Food was good. The proportion size is good. Parking is small. Lots of different restaurants to choose from in this location.
First time eating here and the shrimp pho was delicious. The broth had a very good taste. Definitely coming back.
New favorite place for Pho. Food has great taste and seasoning. Been going there almost weekly
Firat time eating pho, was not all that impressed,but the soup tasted great,just not my idea of a meal. But the iced coffee was bomb,would go back for that alone!
Consistently good pho. The meat, soup and noodles are perfect. Their sides like the spring rolls and eggrolls are mostly mediocre.
So far, the best Pho Ive ever tasted. Even I live far already from this place, I always drop by here when I am in the area.
No 1 special combo is great, broth is very aromatic big chunks of tendon with egg rolls delicious
Great food, great service. A little pricey and extra charge for credit/debit.
Less than average in flavor and freshness, pho noodles came out too soggy and the spring roll paper wrapper was very chewy
So good here. Had the pho the fried egg rolls and the shrimp egg rolls. Great all around.
Its good. Love their shrimp spring rolls! Friendly service. Clean
Food is good but take a while to come out only compare to other pho place
One of the best Pho i have tried in the area and the service is very friendly and fast. plenty of parking and good for groups
I like their combo dishes &their soup -not the pho style soup but the soup w chicken broth &egg noodles.
Pho is as good as any Ive tried in the South Bay but their crispy egg rolls are the best 👍
Love this place. My family and i being eating here for many yrs. #2 well done is my favorite.
Very good pho. Loved the broth and so close to home.
Okay pho place. Could be better with more variety on the menu. Broth is average, but good enough I guess.
After lots of trial and error elsewhere, this location is my favorite place for pho.
Friendly staff, pho is good but not outstanding. Spring rolls a little flat.
Taste authentic. Great price and customer service excellent. Will definately be back.
Best pho around this area by far. Eat their 2-3 times a week
Clean, fair price and the best place to have pho in torrance/carson area
Yummy pho ! Tasty brothWe also love the veggie fried rice
Seafood pho was awesome very delicious! Friendly service!
Very small portion and there will be more charge when u pay with card (plus tax)
Amazing pho, I have tried 100s of places, this one top 5.

Cant believe Saigon Bistro charges a glass of ice water when you eat there!I never ever experienced that before until now!Why?!

Not bad in a pinch, I know a place called Saigon Dish thats way better

I love this place, the food is very delicious, good quality and I think the prices are fair. There is free parking in front and behind the restaurant. Very friendly employees make you feel welcome. I recommend this place and of course I would return for its food, I hope very soon.
I cant believe I can eat such delicious Pho in a place like this.No alcohol or beer.
The soup was good, the only detail was that the plate was not so full, if I am a good eater.
We visit this place a lot, my son and I. He eats Vietnamese pho soup and coconut water, I eat a pork sandwich and coconut water. The place is very crowded. It is cheap, clean and very well attended .I recommend it.
This Vietnamese soba shop is a family-run shop run by a Vietnamese owner. This is my favorite Vietnamese soba restaurant near Torrance. Its a friendly, delicious, and reasonably priced restaurant.
Very delicious. There is also a parking lot for about 10 cars. Theres no beer.
Delicious food, excellent staff attention
Vietnamese Pho, Spring Rolls, Vietnamese Coffee, Milk Tea, Coconut Juice~ Delicious, recommended
Their food is very good and the people are also very good and the prices are also good
Very delicious food and very comfortable place to enjoy with the family
Rice noodles are a work of art. It tastes like it has less seasoning..Spring rolls and summer rolls are also delicious.

2023-10-01 23:07:34My inaugural visit to this Vietnamese Pho restaurant left me thoroughly impressed. The beef soup they serve is simply extraordinary, and Im already looking forward to returning. Moreover, their service was remarkably swift and attentive—surpassing my expectations. Thank u so much this definitely made my day!! 😊

2021-10-16 02:57:30Local mom and pop pho shop on Carson Blvd in Torrance. Not mind blown like Westminster but plenty good enough for this part of southbay. Cash is preferred or youll be paying extra credit card fees.
