Read moreNew customer. Tried it twice this last week. The first time was just me for dine in at lunch. The waitress was friendly, welcoming and right on the refills. She provided 5 star customer service. Ordered orange chicken (little spicy) with lo mien and wonton soup. The presentation of the entree was nice. The soup was very good with large wontons. The entree was Not good! The lo mien (although tasted okay) was very bland and had nothing in it...no cabbage, peppers, onions....nothing but plain noodle. The orange chicken was zero spicy and tasted like it just had orange juice poured on it. The chicken was cut into thin slivers and it was way overcooked. Hard to chew, like shoe leather. Entree this visit was 2 stars.
The 2nd visit was a carryout order. This time I tried the wor su gai and fried rice. Both were very good and the chicken was not overcooked. I recommend this dish. My husband tried the kung pao beef and said it was pretty good. He did say the hot and sour soup was very good. The egg rolls were pretty good too. The order was correct and ready when stated it would be for pick up. Again I was welcomed and thanked when I went it to pick it up. It was quick and easy (ordered and paid online). Food this time was 5 stars! Quantity of the to go order for dinner was about the same size of the lunch side entree. Other local restaurants serve larger portions for your...

Saigon Asian Bistro completely exceeded my expectations! We came in for lunch and ordered the Chicken Basil Fried Rice, Fried Chicken Dumplings, and Egg Drop Soup, and let me tell you—every bite was an experience.
🌿 Chicken Basil Fried Rice – The first thing I noticed was the aroma—fragrant basil mixed with the perfectly stir-fried rice. It had the ideal balance of spice and savoriness, with a hint of smokiness that made it addictive. The vegetables were crisp, the chicken was juicy, and the portion was more than generous.
🥟 Fried Chicken Dumplings – These were an absolute standout! Crispy, golden brown on the outside, and packed with flavorful, juicy filling inside. The texture was just perfect—not too greasy, not too dry. They paired so well with the dipping sauce, adding an extra punch of flavor.
🥣 Egg Drop Soup – This was the ultimate comfort food. Velvety smooth with the right thickness, and just enough egg ribbons to give it that classic, home-cooked feel. The subtle touch of green onions elevated the whole dish.
Beyond the food, the service was top-notch. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. The food came out fresh and hot, and the restaurant had a cozy, welcoming vibe that made the whole experience...
