So glad to have Grand Bistro back in my life! The food is just as good as I remember from when it was Pho Grand, and honestly, the service when I went with friends last week was incredible. I knew they don't take reservations and won't seat an incomplete party, but I still got there a little early just to see if we could grab a table for five. I was surprised (in a good way) when they seated me before everyone else arrived. I even told the hostess I didn't mind waiting, but she encouraged me to go ahead and sit, which was really nice. Our server was super friendly and made sure I was taken care of while I waited. As my friends started arriving, he was quick to get them settled in too. We started with some non-alcoholic drinks and spent some time chatting before diving into the menu. It was honestly hard to pick just one thing, so I went with both the chicken pho and fried rice. I knew I wouldn't finish it all, but I really wanted both. Once we ordered, everything moved smoothly--our server checked in, made sure drinks were filled, and kept things organized. When the food came out, everything looked amazing and tasted just as good. Of course, with all the catching up we were doing, it took us a while to finish, but there was no rush at all. When we were ready, he brought the checks and was more than happy to split them out (always appreciate that!). Before leaving, I ordered a to-go meal for my husband and asked for a box for my leftovers. Our server actually took my plate and packed everything up in the back, which I wasn't expecting but really appreciated. He also brought out the to-go order right when it was ready. Honestly, everything, from the space to the service to the food, was just great. I'm already looking forward to going back again soon. read more

How happy am I to learn this place reopened with a new name? We were here within the hour of learning it had reopened (was Pho Grand). And it lived up to our expectations. Love the new cocktail bar they added. It take away some seating however people can eat at bar too. We ordered cocktails while waiting for our table which took only a few minutes. My husband tried their version of an old-fashioned which used both bourbon and rum!!! It was good but he said definitely a "sipper". They have a full bar and much better wine selection now too. Starters for us were a bowl of wonton soup and the spring rolls. Both were good but rolls a little rubbery to me. The highlight of our meals was charbroiled pork. We are not capable of ordering anything else. Ha. I get 15.04 and he got 15.03 which includes an egg roll. Divine food!! The people who own this place are so friendly. Our waiter was also very nice. We can't wait to return read more

Pho-mazing! Lovely mouthfeel with the broth, a perfect bowl on a winter storm night. Try the Pho Dac Biet along with a mix of hoisin sauce, chili garlic and the chili crisp - this combo was a good replacement for my usual hoisin sauce/sa té combo at pho restaurants. The pork eggrolls had an unusual surprise - fresh sliced mushrooms (in case you were wondering why the crust was darker in hue). We chatted briefly with Jeff, the owner, and learned a ton about the restaurant's history and re-launch. It's a good sized venue, with great lighting and seating plus excellent service. I would dine here again! read more

I enjoyed the crispy tofu and beef pho. I would get the tofu again and try something else next time. The pho was a little oily. They have some other dishes I'd try. The service was good and workers were friendly. One gentleman did a LOT of uncovered sneezing... They're a good place for dinner. Smaller and more condensed seating area. Give it a try. read more

So happy that pho has returned to S. Grand! The ambiance is perfect for a cozy night out with friends, and our group of six was seated comfortably. The food came out quickly, and everyone loved their meals. I ordered the rice paper rolls and the vermicelli noodles with egg rolls, both delightful. The freshly squeezed lemonade truly is fresh, and on a cold night, a warm pot of tea pairs perfectly with the soups. Still smiling from the great time out. read more

To start we had an order of spring rolls and fried egg rolls. They were both delicious. The fried one came out a little too hot. I ordered the stir fry noodles and I loved every bite of it. It all tastes fresh and very flavorful. I can't recommend the food here any more. I can tell they put a lot of effort in making quality dishes with a good price point here. The service was very respectful, kind, patient, and delivered everything on time. read more

I'm so glad I got to try this place! It used to be Pho Grand and it closed down a few years ago and I was so sad as I never got to go! But now it's open again! And omg was it delicious! I got the wonton soup which was so savory and yummy. And then I got the garlic sautéed shrimp. You can never go wrong! Both of my friends got pho and they LOVED it. Now I have to go back and get pho! The place is pretty small. And it was packed! There was a wait on a Wednesday night when we went! Which means it's good! Luckily we snagged some bar seats and didn't have to wait. Keep in mind there is only street parking along Grand, which can be tricky depending on the day/time of day. But it's well worth a visit! read more

I have an unreasonable emotional attachment to banh xeo. I can't seem to find it anywhere near my house these days.I was near downtown today and swung by the only place my most recent menu searches listed it. "Swung by" as in 30 minutes completely out of my way. So glad I did! The location is bistro modern and welcoming. Service was great- even though i was just getting carryout they seated me at the bar and offered me a glass of ice. especially nice since it's 94 degrees outside. My order of banh xeo, crispy crepe, was the absolute best I've had. Today is not going to satisfy a craving but create a longing for it again. Soon. read more

It's still exactly the same except for a slight name change and updated decor. The owner and his wife were on the floor and could not have been nicer. They love their restaurant and it shows. He said it will always be Pho Grand to him. He helped us with menu selection and everything was delicious. I had the coconut curry. It was very good. He had a beef tenderloin soup but I don't remember the name. It was all good and lovely. Very happy they are back!! read more

Grand Bistro on South Grand is back, baby! Once known as Pho Grand, this spot was my ride-or-die in college. I used to get a vat of whatever I ordered and then eat on it for the week because I was poor. So when it tragically shuttered in 2023, I grieved. But now, it's risen like a spicy, noodly phoenix from the ashes. We kicked things off with the fresh spring rolls. Delicate rice paper hugging fresh veggies and shrimp. Then I got the spicy red chile shrimp, and yes, it had a kick, but not a call the fire department kick. Like more of a confident heel tap. And Jensen? She went full feral on her ramen. Girl was straight-up slurping like she was trying to find the secret to life at the bottom of the bowl. I asked how it was and she just gave me the look while inhaling noodles like a Dyson. Mad Respect. Anyway, this place is absolutely back in the rotation. I will be regularly haunting it again, lurking over a bowl of something delicious, pretending I don't see anyone I knew in college. read more

My daughter went for Pho and I selected the 16.02 egg noodle soup with roasted duck leg. The broth was so flavorful. The layers of flavors were a party in my mouth. I'm adding this to my monthly staple. DELICIOUS is an understatement. It was enough for two meals. read more

We came here for lunch on Friday. Their menu has a good variety of Viet dishes that I like. I ordered the Com Dac Biet, and my husband ordered a bowl of Pho. I didn't like the pork skin (very chewy) and egg cake (tasted off) on my rice dish at all. Service was pleasant but food was 7/10. read more

Glad to be back! Love the waiting room upstairs now. Great service, food was out quickly but service was still warm despite cramped quarters. My pork chop was hot fresh crispy and this dish, 20.01, was a gem. The fresh cucumber and tomato paired perfectly with the oil and seasoning in the pork chop. Combined with a fresh flavors in the other chopped veggies and cilantro and the texture of the string pork made for a dance of flavors. Absolutely amazing. read more

Pho Grand used to my favorite pho restaurant in St Louis so I was so excited to try Grand Bistro when it reopened in the same space. However the flavor of pho broth is no longer how I remembered, now more one-dimensional and the toppings were not fresh. I have to say this is no longer the top place for pho in the area. Decor and ambiance is similar and had no issue with service Parking is also difficult in the area, sometimes will need to park far as the street parking can be crowded read more

I stopped in today for spring rolls and Vietnamese coffee, and wow, such a treat. The spring rolls were fresh and flavorful, and that coffee had the perfect bold‑sweet kick that makes you instantly happy. The location on South Grand Boulevard just adds to the charm. It's such a beautiful area to stroll around before or after eating, and the restaurant's outdoor patio makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Great vibes, great food, great people-watching. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. This spot is a keeper. read more

I have not dined at Grand Bistro formerly known as Pho Grand in over 20 years. Had my favorite entree for lunch and it's just as delicious as I remember. The team continues to provide the service I remember and remains family owned. I will be back again when I visit STL. If you are seeking a good meal with impeccable service please try Grand Bistro. Note there is metered parking as well as a lot across the street. read more

Great food and vibes! This place is bustling with food, and their menu is immense. It was so difficult to choose something to eat for my first time visit because they had so many items to choose from. A group of us came for an early Sunday evening dinner and our wait was around 20 minutes, which was expected. Our server was very attentive and good came out incredibly fast. Best part was the tasty vermicelli bowl (bun) I got. Portion size might be small to some, but it was just right for me! read more

This place the wait was long for us considering we went on a Wednesday evening. My friend and i waited for over 40 minutes or so to be seated for the two of us. They were super busy and only using the lower level of the restaurant at this time. My friend had Vietnamese pho noodles and i had their vermicelli with egg rolls. The egg rolls were either refried or in the fryer a tad longer than how i like it so to me it was a bit on the darker brown side. The owner( son and his parents) seem nice. Friendly service. read more

OMG! Pho Grand is back as Grand Bistro. Same food, same people, same location & decor EXCEPT they have added a bar & cocktails. If you like vietnamese food- this is by far the BEST in town. With the reopening- expect a bit of a wait time. It's a small space. We waited maybe 15min & then were called to be seated. Oh, I have missed them so much. Going once a week for months :) read more

Son of the previous owners reopened!! I was super excited to hear about the reopening and the food did not disappoint. The wings were a fish sauce friend wing and soo good. Definitely worth a try. We got our usual staples like eggrolls, spring rolls, pho dac biet, and bun bo hue. The pho was nice and filling. I plan to get the bbh next time when I come. But don't sleep on the wings. They were probably my favorite. Also will be back to try the cocktails. And it's never a bad idea to get the Vietnamese iced coffee. Currently regretting, as I'm sitting in a food coma read more

We would have given another star except that I wanted a vegetarian Pho and I they do not have it. Instead I got a tofu curry and rice dish. It was good, but nothing special. My wife had the gluten free Pho with beef. She asked for more of the condiments (first batch was just ok size-wise) and was given cilantro only, not the other items. They did get the food out incredibly fast though. So for us, this latest endeavor was not so notable. There seemed to be a slight attitude by the staff that implied, hurry up, order, we have people to get to.... Anyhow, if you want to give them a test, see what you think and try a few things there. read more

Most locals probably know Pho Gran before pandemic. They then closed a few years ago because the owner wanted to retire. Now they re-opened as Grand Bistro. The original owner still helps out there so the foods are as good as before. Many choices. Service is prompt. Due to the space limitations there are not many tables inside. We ordered pho, different types, they all very tasty. The appetizer tofu is super good. Comparing the price and how much food you get, I say it is a little pricey. Though we all know eating out is just getting more expensive these days. Overall we will come back again. read more

Wonderful news! Pho Grand (an STL staple) has been re-opened by the original family in their original location this month as Grand Bistro. I enjoyed their pho dac biet (beef noodle with various cuts of meat), their pho ga (chicken based pho noodle soup), as well as the banh xeo (savory Vietnamese crepe with pork and shrimp). It was tasty, and my only minor gripe was I wish they had given us more basil for the noodle and crepe dish (as well as another slice of lime). We also enjoyed their Vietnamese coffee drinks. The re-opening is very welcomed by the community. Already for Sunday late lunch, there was a decent line, and we waited about 30 minutes; fortunately, they have a waiting area upstairs. Alternatively, you can explore South Grand until they call you that the table is available. read more
