Saigon Bistro — Restaurant in Los Angeles

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.

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...
