Excellent! Came for the PHO, it didn't disappoint! The broth was flavorful and loaded with vegetables. I ordered the steak Pho, and there was a generous amount of meat in there. Wish I had remembered to take a picture. read more

Might be a decent take out option, but the food is nothing special. Service was so-so. No atmosphere to speak of. read more

Delicious vermicelli bowls, freshly made. It has been great every time I have ordered it. They also have PHO which I will also try at some point. read more

Love little Saigon! The food is always delicious. A word of advice- I always check the Facebook page before I drive over there in case they are randomly closed which happens periodically as they are family owned and things come up! read more

this place made me happy. maybe it was my husband making me happy or maybe it was the food, i don't really know. The pho AND my husband are both pretty hot. though we can't afford it, it was def worth it. Actually not too expensive. EAT HERE IT IS AMAZING!!! but don't come at a busy time. cause you might have to wait a long time. But for me, i was with my hubby, so it wasn't that bad.

Rude, terrible atmosphere, looked dirty and stuffy and dark. Doesnt reflect well on food. AVOID.

My husband and I ate lunch here at the recommendation of our nail technicians who said it was the best Vietnamese restaurant in area with generous portions. They were right!! It's super clean and updated. We love the smaller, family run restaurants, especially the ethnic international places. They all seem so happy to share their food and culture with us. Great meals and had plenty to bring home for leftovers. read more

We ate here yesterday. staff was nice, not overly interactive with us. We started with crab rangoon, they were good, the same style sold in most Asian restaurants. our meals were Chicken fried rice along wit pork and noodles. Both plates were very big, food was fresh and good, price was low for the amount of food you got. read more

Delicious Pho! Best we have had in Sarasota! Great service and large portions. We will definitely be back! read more

I regret being unable to post a positive review of Little Saigon Bistro. There is no ambience. It looks like an aged dinette, which if I remember correctly it was about 20 years ago. Service was provided by a man who appeared to be the operator supported by his young son who tried hard but was over his head. The food, with the exception of the surprisingly memorable egg rolls, was meh! The broth was watery and tasteless. The proteins were indistinguishable one from the other. We were hoping for a new favorite Vietnamese spot. We will stay with Main Street for quality and service. Sorry. read more

Everything was as expected. The Pho was good, the service was good, prices are in line with the area, and the take out Bahn mi sandwiches were delish. read more

The pho I had was good.itvwas generous with meat and tripe. The broth was good but the noodles stuck together more than I hoped. The boss' grilled shrimp vermicelli was very good. Nicely grilled and smokey shrimp with the right sweetness of the sauce you poor on top of the noodles. Service was very friendly and prompt. Price was very reasonable. read more

They have the best clay pot I ever eat in the area!! I actually wanted to eat grilled pork with rice then I saw this clay pot in the menu. I came a little bit late and at first they wasn't sure if they can serve this after 7pm because it takes a while to prepare the dish (like about 20-25mins) but they did. I would definitely come back to get same dish or try different one! The price looks pretty reasonable too. The service was great. Recommended! read more

Excellent service (take-out) delicious Pho, the rare beef that had a lot of noodles! The combo vermicelli was excellent as well. We will go again. Looked like locals dining in restaurant so I knew it would be yummy. Also ordered summer rolls. Delicious combo of pork and shrimps and peanut sauce was great read more

I mostly get takeout from this restaurant but I did eat inside one time. Service was good and the people are friendly. The food is delicious. read more

The food is flavorful and reasonably priced. Have stopped a few time for lunch and it has been great. Spring rolls with their peanut sauce is great for a quick bite, the Pho is amazing !, also have had the vermicelli noodle bowls and it's packed with flavor. The place is updated and very welcoming. read more

Thanks helpers for this recommendation. It was delicious. The large pho bowl is huge and loaded with meat. The grilled pork and eggroll over vermicelli is served with pickled carrots, cucumbers and lettuce. The inside of the eggroll is a bit mushy tho. The massive plate of pork chop was yummy. We added an egg. There's not much ambiance and service was slow but okay for a typical casual "Asian diner" atmosphere. read more

I have only had Pho soup at this location. It was good, Have not tried anything else on the menu.

They hung up on us because we were slow to order. We called back and the guy said we had an old menu and told my wife to go on the website and order. Tried that. Terrible website, couldn't figure out how to order on it so called back and ordered by the numerical designated codes next to the items. The gentleman on the phone didn't know the codes so we still had to describe the order. You really have to be craving Vietnamese food to get through that gauntlet. read more

Ignore the bad review from Maylaine of 10 days ago. My husband and I are constantly on the lookout for a good pho. We found it here at Little Saigon bistro. The service was great, ambience relaxed, and pho amazing. I had a combination 1 pho and my husband had the pho 2. Both were delicious. Will definitely be back here. Five star all the way. read more

Sara and her family no longer own this wonderful pho place. It was sold to a family relative which is no big deal except when I was sick and needed a regular size pho bowl and spring rolls. I didn't check my receipt until I got home and realized that the total bill = $29.24. Per the menu, it should have been $24 + sales tax. I paid with cash too! The portions have diminished as well. I will be looking for a different pho place. Too bad because Sara really took good care of all the customers. read more

The place looked quite run-down, but it didn't bother me. Smelled terrible in the place, like a urinated back alley. I should have left right there. Unfortunately the food was very bland. The broth was like water, no flavor whatsoever. Asked for spicy chilly oil and was given a tiny amount, they don't even leave it on the table. I have to say we got the large bowl and that was massive, with plenty of ingredients and noodles, but again, only chicken broth available and so weak that wasn't even funny. We also ordered the spring rolls and they were completely tasteless. Their peanut butter sauce was also the worst I ever tried in a Vietnamese restaurant. Prices are expensive. Will never be back, not even for free. read more

Excellent Pho I've recently tried to learn a little about Pho, like how to eat it without getting it on my clothes and what the extra plate of stuff and sauces are for. We went to a great Vietnamese restaurant in Tampa and I realized I didn't do well eating with sticks and an oddly shaped spoon. This visit to Little Saigon Bistro was great. All the various parts of the dish were there, the dish with bean sprouts and basil, lime slices, and Hoisin and Sriracha sauces in squeeze bottles. I've learned to use the chopsticks in one hand while simultaneously wielding the spoon in the other, and I give myself 5 stars for effort. I also give Little Saigon Bistro 5 stars for serving an excellent Pho Tai. It quickly arrived at our table steaming hot, our server available for any questions or help we needed, like getting a fork for my wife. I liked the place, I thought it was nicely spaced out with only 11 tables. We were there just as the western setting sun was beating on west facing windows, so arriving customers including us were seated over at the other side. Good background music played. Convenient parking. read more

food came out so fast & delicious. great service and was a cute little place. would def come again

Had a perfect lunch today with great service and amazing food. My friend and I both had the vermicelli (bun) plates--hers with chicken, mine the combo of several proteins and egg roll. Delicious and a portion big enough to take home for a second meal. The best part was that I had really been craving a banh mi sandwich. But the waiter explained that they weren't ready yet because the bread was frozen. When he saw my disappointment, he surprised us with a complimentary sandwich to share during our meal. It was a divine mix of perfectly toasted roll, pate, roasted pork, pickled vegetables and sauce. We devoured it! Will definitely go back to work my way through the menu. read more

My wife & I order takeout from here often. It's definitely got a family run vibe to it which we appreciate. As the food is always awesome, service is always speedy even when we can see how busy it is inside. They've never neglected us in to-go. One of the best Pho we've had in town! read more

Best Pho in the area. I almost feel guilty saying this as I am a fan of Pho 99. But the pho here is even better. We got two different Pho and the crispy Vietnamese egg rolls. All food was delicious, well seasoned, with a full assortment of side condiments, ie fresh lime, cilantro, jalapeño slices, romaine lettuce, bean sprouts, fish sauce, Thai basil. Service was prompt. read more

My wife and I both had pho and it was outstanding. It was as good as we have enjoyed in a long time. This seems to be a family owned and run restaurant and it is very authentic Vietnam cuisine. The spring rolls were to die for. Service and ambience were very nice. read more

Probably the best place I've tried in Sarasota for pho the one downtown wasn't as fresh. I love bun bo hue but have not tried it here yet. You know it's authentic and not a fushion place that is owned by Chinese or American people no offense but if im eating Vietnamese I expect to see Vietnamese people working or it's not as authentic IMO. I will be back read more

First time here doing take away .. what I love so far ... super friendly staff , helpful !! and as usual, I had to customise my order , which the owner did with a fabulous smile .. customer service yes yes and yes .. had a glass of Rose which I would not recommend only because I am just that picky , it was way too sweet ... very casual atmosphere with a down to earth vibe .. my favourite environment...will update with food taste ... Update .. so my vegetarian Pho was really tasty but my husband ordered the pork with fried rice .. he loved the pork but did not at all like the rice , he said it had not taste just bland .. so there you have it we have a mixed family review .. still keeping the 5 star rating but in the end it comes down to your taste ! Merry eating to one and all read more

Little Saigon Bistro - Why not .. while waiting for takeaway - Vietnamese Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

While it is easy to overlook this restaurant because of the location, the food served here is awesome! I love Vietnamese food, and I visited based on the reviews. I ordered the Tofu Vermicelli, and it was so flavorful and bright. The veggies were balanced and crisp. The tofu was freshly cooked. I would definitely come back here read more

I went there a couple of times. The food is very tasty. And it's has been pleasant so far. Things are simple but efficient. Good service! Will be a frequent customer of this neighborhood bistro. read more

Best pho and spring rolls in Sarasota! A hardworking family and always a delicious lunch spot. Highly recommend popping in for your pho fix!

Pho broth was under salted and lacking rich flavor. Also, some people enjoy a more extensive menu and this is a very small menu, so kind of difficult to find items for children if you need to make that consideration. read more

On a whim, I was deeply graving Spicy Beef Pho. The closest restaurant was Little Saigon Bistro; so I figured I'd give it a try. I ordered take out for me and my kids. I bought my kids B2 and me the P2. Wow! The B2 was so flavorful and delicious! Super fresh greens and great seasoning and dressings. The Pho was incredible! It hit the spot, and I loved the different textures and vibrant flavors. Everything was fresh and amazing! We will definitely be going back for some more. Update: We went to eat in at Little Saigon, and we were a bit disappointed. Just little things like there were no appetizer plates, there were no knives just forks and spoons offered, service was slow though it wasn't busy, my husband's chicken meat for B2 had quite a bit of cartilage unlike before for take out, and there was a giant TV playing not the most kid friendly music videos. The Pho was still amazing. I would return but just for Pho take out. I do hope they improve and grow as a business, because my first experience was so positive. 4 stars for Pho takeout and 2 star for dining in experience. read more
