Bistro Du Saigon - Fort Lee

Food here is delicious! They give you big portions and the inside decor is super cozy. It smells wonderful as soon as you walk in, automatically smelling the herbs and spices. The portions are big, great to come in especially if you're hungry. Things to try on the menu is the spring or summer rolls. They're bomb! My go to main dish is the grilled chicken vermacelli it's super delicious and the side salad is washed and cut well. One of my favorite Vietnamese places to go!

This restaurant is charming, affordable, and laid-back! It's one of my favorite spots for a casual dinner with my wife, where we can enjoy a satisfying meal for just $20 to $30, which is a fantastic deal considering the high quality of the food. Be sure to try their beef pho; it's the highlight of the menu. The curry was delightful as well, and the shrimp we ordered were impressively large! If you're in the mood for an appetizer, the dumplings are served with a delicious sauce and a nice crunch on top.

We also ordered the classic banh mi, which I found surprisingly delightful. I didn't expect much, but it might just be one of the best banh mis I've ever had. Many places skimp on the meat, but that wasn't the case here; there was a generous amount, and it was evenly distributed throughout, which I appreciated (most banh mis have the meat at the bottom and veggies on top). For my main dish, I chose the Vietnamese Spicy Noodles Soup, featuring a spicy lemongrass beef broth with sliced brisket. The lemongrass flavor was a refreshing change from the usual beef pho. However, it was slightly oily, and I ended up feeling quite thirsty afterward. Overall, it was a wonderful meal, and I would happily return to try more of their offerings. I was torn between the spicy noodle soup and the rice vermicelli platter, so I think I’ll opt for the latter next time!

The soups and appetizers are outstanding. The service is both fast and friendly. There's also more indoor space now for additional seating. The prices are very affordable.
