Saigon Asian Bistro

Delicious! We ate as a family and tried the soup, crab wontons, Mongolian beef, Orange chicken and Pad Thai. The server was kind and accommodating. Will definitely return.

The waiter was excellent the food was great and plentiful when I come back to the Columbus area I will visit again

fantastic drinks and food. Very well run. It’s our go to Vietnamese place when we travel to this area

Excellent egg rolls! Their pad thai looks weird, a bit more orange than I’m use to, but tastes pretty good! Excellent customer service, good prices

Its good. And that sums it up, my mind wasn’t blown by the quality however I’m no expert. I had the rare beef phở, i eat fairly healthy and the broth was just loaded with sodium so that was disappointing. The summer roll was decent but didn’t amaze me, pretty bland. The peanut sauce that comes with it had more flavor than the roll itself. The noodles in the soup were very yummy but again the flavor was somewhat drowned out by the saltiness of the broth. The chucks of beef were good, but again the saltiness interferes with all of the ingredients flavors. Im willing to go back and try something else. The won ton phở looked really good so maybe ill try that next time. Definitely worth a shot, but if sodium levels are an issue this place is a no go lol.

Very flavorful meal! The staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean. We got the p9 wonton soup with work phở and the wor su guy dinner. Very delicious. Everything on the menu looked tasty and reasonably priced. I would definitely come back!

Very good Asian restaurant. Everything was light and fresh. The portions were large but not ‘murican huge. Best Vietnamese summer rolls in Columbus hands down! Cashew delight was true to its name too. On the downside, it is kid friendly but no kids menu or portions and no changing table in the men’s room. Otherwise A+!

Everything we ordered was delicious there! And our waiter also offered a comedian commentary. Very pleasant experience.
We ordered Vietnamese vermicelli with spring rolls & grilled pork, salt & pepper calamari, wonton noodle soup. Everything was delicious.
Parking lot was full of pot holes though.

We accidentally ate here on our date night this week. I usually spend a long time reviewing reviews on Unilocal before FINALLY picking a place to dine. We had a sudden change of events and need to scrap our Saturday plans.
We LOVED Saigon! We felt like we were back in Bangkok with the fresh, amazing food.
Here’s what we loved:
— The restaurant is very clean. The exterior and interior are well-​maintained.
–The service is professional and prompt. Our server did stereotype us a little by offering us mostly fried– American «friendly» foods.
— The serving sizes are large. We were both very full when we left.
We ordered Spring rolls as an appetizer. The accompanying peanut sauce was probably the best sauce I’ve ever had.
I ordered Phở Noodle Bowl #3 (raw beef with noodle bowl). It was served with lime, sprouts, jalapenos and basil on the side. I thought it was very flavorful. I have had more fresh tasting noodles– but overall, it was delicious phở.
My husband ordered Pad Thai and may have out-​ordered me. It was AMAZING. Flavored to perfection.
Bottom line: Will we be back? Yes! My husband has mentioned his meal 3 times already today. By far the best Veitnamese/​Thai food we’ve had in Columbus.

Have driven past this place for a long time but because of where they are located I always thought it was just an old place that was no longer in business. I’ve missed out on a great place because I didn’t bother to read the reviews here. I hang my head in deep shame!
But on to the good stuff. So far the only things we’ve tried are the soups which are absolutely fantastic! Big big bowls of the stuff which they bring out on a cart good and steaming. You will get filled up with one of these and for less than $ 10! The wonton soup with pork is very tasty but that beef one with raw beef, beef ball and beef tendon (who knew beef tendon was so yummy) is the soup!!!
Haven’t tried anything but the soups so far but one day I might try their other offerings… but the soups have a hold on me. You’ve got to try this place!

The service here is wonderful. They were very accommodating when I ordered my meal with sauce on the side, which I know is probably a pain for them. Most importantly, they were fast… much appreciated as I was on my lunch break.
The food was absolutely delicious. I had the shrimp and string bean entrée. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and seasoned and very lightly fried. The Vietnamese summer rolls were delicious as well.
I’ve had the phở here before and it was great as well. I’ll be back.

Updating my review, still 4 star. Been trying more food, haven’t tried their Singapore rice noodle, but I enjoyed their phở, spicy noodle soup, wonton soup. It’s seriously closer to 4.5 especially the lemongrass pork chop, can’t argue with that. Still not 5 coz I’m still bummed that I’m getting regular rice not broken rice.
Ps: I’ll check out owners recommendation next time (Singapore rice noodle), been awhile since I opened my Unilocal

This is hands down my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in central Ohio. The staff are very friendly and their restaurant is very well maintained. The food is incredibly fresh and the servings are huge! After eating both the amazingly fresh and beautiful summer rolls, I could hardly tackle the house special vermicelli dish that I had also order. I highly recommend this restaurant, all their dishes are great and their phở broth is pretty good also, perfect amount of flavors

Our Brother and Sister in law love this place and we’ve had a few meals here with them. The food has always been good to great and the service outstanding!
We went again last night and I ordered the Beef and Scallops, requesting they add jalapenos to the dish. My wife ordered a bowl of Phở, with Beef and Wontons. Our in laws ordered Orange chicken and the Dragon and the Phoenix dinner. All was good. My Beef and Scallops, with jalapeño was especially good, as the peppers were just spicy enough to make the dish great but not too spicy to overpower everything. My wife loved her bowl of Phở, even though she had to tuck her napkin into her shirt to contain all of the spillage.
The food here always shows up quickly, is hot and fresh and well prepared. Our waiter was polite and observant but never hovered over us. He was also waiting on 5 other tables at the same time and seemed to glide between us all with little effort.
The costs here are low, dinner for my wife and I, (plus two drinks and some hot tea) was just over $ 30.00.
Every time we come here I wonder why it’s not more crowded, as the food, the service and the prices should make it a huge success. Then I think about driving in circles around the parking lot searching for a parking space, standing in lines waiting for a table, all of the noise, the jostling and bother and tell myself «Hey, it’s ok for this place to be our little oasis».
At least for now.

first Vietnamin food experience, then start to explore all the vietnamin restaurant around the place, I would say their phở is the best, broth is so flavorful, yum yum.
And the following times I tried Chinese sesame chk, hot pep beef, phai tai, they are very great.
Saigon has become my regular place to eat.
And the owners are very great and caring guys.

I think I found my new go-​to spot for good Vietnamese/​Chinese food! Great food, clean interior, and friendly staff!
Here are some of the things I’ve tried–
Vietnamese summer rolls: I absolutely love summer rolls with the clear wrapping and it’s really good here! I had it two days in a row. that’s how good they were! Tastes fresh and they don’t skimp on the pork and shrimp pieces. The peanut based dipping sauce is more watery than I’m used to, but it’s still good! Always ask for extra peanuts:)
Combination phở: Generous portion of meat! I couldn’t finish it even though it was delicious! The tripe pieces were super long and there was a lot of it, so I set those aside.
House pad thai: Pretty solid pad thai. The house includes bbq pork, which we didn’t really care for– just personal preference. Next time we’ll stick with shrimp, chicken or beef. Always ask for extra peanuts with this too!
Salt and pepper calamari: It’s on the menu as an appetizer, but you can get it was an entrée. The pieces were crispy and tasted delicious!
They also get bonus points because I accidentally left my ray ban sunglasses after dinner. I called the next day and they kept it safe in their lost and found. Yay!
Can’t wait to try some other things on the menu!

This spot is pretty on point ya’ll.
My initial thought was — they do a variety of Asian cuisines… a fusuon bit… they must be not awesome at any one thing. Well, obviously I didn’t know what I was thinking.
I am obsessed with phở — theirs was good. All the Vietnamese items I have tried were good.
So the kids love Chinese items — all that we tried there was also good.
The olé man likes to try the most random items he can find… well all that was good too.
Service was great — atmosphere was chill. All 4 times I have visited so far. We will keep coming back ;)

EDIT: My mom went here and demanded I lower the rating. She says there is too much MSG in the soup, didn’t like that most of the seafood noodle soup was artificial crab meat, and said that she didn’t get any of the basil when she went there. So I will lower it to a 4 star rating to average our ratings.
Two words: NOODLE SOUP.
This is a fantastic place to get some satisfying phở or other noodles. At prices ranging from 8.50 to 9.50, and portions that always leave me full, it’s a great deal.
I have had the pad thai, which was quite good. But pretty much the thing to get here is the noodle soup.
I am partial to the beef noodle soup, which has things like beef stomach, tripe, and beef tendon. Don’t get squeamish on me, now — those are some of the most delicious, tender parts of the beef! I also enjoy the spicy beef noodle soup. Phở is fantastic for dinner, but it also makes a great warm breakfast.
Each bowl, by the way, comes with some fresh bean sprouts, some sort of basil-​y vegetable (with a slight anise flavor — it’s great in the noodles), some sliced up cabbage, and a bottle of sriracha and hoisin sauce. Oh, and a lime, which I love squeezing in there and then throwing the rest of it in.
One of the bowls (the meatball noodle soup I think? My brother ordered it) came with different things on the side, like lettuce, etc.
That’s really all you need to know. Come here, order noodle soup, and you’re in for a fantastic meal. Oh, we had one of their dessert drinks and that was great too.
OVERALL: Delicious noodle soup. A great place to grab phở.
P. S., you can get takeout if you want — we got it when they were about to close.

If you have a Vietnamese food craving and live around this restaurant then this is the best bet. It’s not the best Viet food I’ve had but it’s passable.
I would skip the fried dumpling because it’s just too much dough (imo).
Lemongrass pork chop is good.
Phở was alright, the soup isn’t rich enough.
Overall, not bad.

After a week of feeling like hell and a half I knew that there is nothing that truly fixes almost any ill of the body and spirit like a big steaming bowl of Phở. I hadn’t noticed that the previous restaurant had closed until I saw a couple other Unilocalers latest reviews so that put this to the top of my «to try» list being so close to my home.
While I wasn’t a big fan of the food of the previous restaurant in this location I was impressed with the stylish and comfortable dining room here and that has carried over into this incarnation now. Asian Fusion is the buzzword of the time but along with some of the usual Amer-​asian fare (General Tso über alles!) there is a nice selection of Vietnamese favourites including a decent selection of types of Phở.
I started off with a pair of perfectly fried Spring Rolls paired with some of their fish sauce. This was soon followed by a huge bowl of Phở Tai and I was in that blissful moment when that fragrant steam hits your senses and all in the world is good.
When it comes to Phở it’s all about the broth for me and this was as close to perfection as it comes in my book. A zen balance of anise, ginger and other spices in a broth that wasn’t too fatty but had that nice amount that gives this soup it’s savory goodness. A decent serving of lean beef slices and huge amount of rice noodles and for my own preference almost too much of the noodles and not enough broth. So many noodles it kinda made it hard to add the garnishes without overflow (yeah I know I’m being picky complaining about getting too much of something I love).
Overall it was a great first try and I’m overjoyed at having a great place in my neck of the woods for getting my Phở Phix on in a very comfortable, friendly restaurant addition to this busy busy corner of Lewis Center…
