    New Saigon GOOD: Top Notch Banh Mi sandwhich - serious wow factor BAD: Nothing much - a little pricey over 10$ but worth it I had a disappointing meal at another local place. Rather then finish it, I tried New Saigon nearby. I'm really glad I did. I wasn't sure what to expect with the banh mi sandwich, but I went for it and it was great. The meat was tender. The sweet and spicy sauce was excellent and the real star actually was the cucumber slices which gave it a cold, refreshing crunch. I just may put cucumbers on all my sandwiches going forward. i highly recommend new saigon in Dormont.

    Shrimp Pho

    Shrimp pho with add of sirracha sauce and extra lime because i personally like my soups lemony. It was delicious. Yumm, Yumm, yummy

    Grilled Chicken Bun (a cold vermicelli noodle bowl) soooooo damn delicious.
    Margaret G.

    I've been looking for the most authentic Vietnamese food and so far, this is my clear winner. I can't wait to have their pho. So far I've had their bah mi, which was delicious and not dry, and their grilled chicken bun (vermicelli noodle bowl) which was MASSIVE and so fresh. I had a few questions about what the blood tofu was on the menu and if the bun bowl was a vermicelli bowl. I can't tell you the answers, honestly. Waters were refilled promptly. The ambiance is meh. Parking can get a bit crowded all over the street but we parked in a residential area and it was free to do so.

    Grilled Pork Bun

    Food was fine, not exceptional, priced a little high imho. Big portion/ Server was a nice young man polite and accommodating when the order he delivered wasn't right. I'd really give it 3.5 but that's not an option.

    I have never in my life has such over fried tofu. Painful to eat. Side note- when packaging to go pho, the vegetables should NEVER be packaged in the hot broth. They should be place in the container on the side. Why would I want to eat soggy wilted vegetables ? And with that being said, the vegetables take up so much room in the broth container- how much broth am I even getting lol? Really utterly disappointing food for $20 a meal. General tso tofu is inedible and the pho is pathetic. Also, hot food in styrofoam is literally a major carcinogen as well as just horrible for the environment. A+ for you.

    Grilled Pork Banh Mi
    Julie Anna E.

    Bahn mi was pretty good! Got takeout from here and the bahn mi with pork was the star for me. Also got chicken pho and it was just okay. The broth and the veggies were great but unfortunately the chicken was dry and the noodles were all clumped together into a big mush (I got takeout) noodles were in a separate container. Good packaging though overall. Would give them another chance for dine in

    Crispy Spring Rolls
    Mijee S.

    The daughter was craving pho so after searching yelp, decided to come to New Saigon and it definitely hit the spot. The broth in the pho was good. The best dish was the salt and pepper shrimp which was the best we've ever had, we've had a lot... so good that it was devoured before we could snap a pic. Excellent service.

    Wonton hu tieu
    Ulyana K.

    Solid spot for Vietnamese food. Not a ton of this cuisine in Pittsburgh, especially in Dormont, so it's nice to see a spot like this. I got takeout. Honestly, I think the rating would be higher if I went in person. It's the kind of spot that doesn't really work well for takeout but may be quite good in person. Regardless, I got the wonton hu tieu and the pineapple boba milk tea with strawberry and passion fruit popping boba. The wonton hu tieu was quite unique. If you get takeout, they have the broth, the noodles, and the vegetables separate for you to assemble. The plastic container the noodles are placed in is too small to fit all the broth they give. Flavor wise, the broth was strangely a bit sweet. There were too many green onions for my liking as well. The noodles were alright, but nothing special. They were also somewhat clumped in the takeout. The wontons were the best part. They had a nice amount of filling (which seemed to be some kind of meat but I can't say which kind). The other meat on top was pretty fatty and just not really my favorite but it's nice to have a double meat portion. The boba was very good, though. It was a tad bit on the expensive side, but the quality was great. Sweet and perfectly milky. The boba was fresh and had great flavor. All in all, this is a solid spot. It's just that I think it would be better in person than with takeout, and the broth wasn't exactly my favorite. But the boba was great and I'm willing to give it another shot.

    to go Spicy Lemongrass Pho - Bun Bo Hue
    David V.

    AUTHENTIC BUN BO HUE!! oh my gosh, i finally found some authentic vietnamese food here! I got the spicy beef noodle soup and it has all the authentic rustic components that reminds me of home. my parents are vietnamese immigrants and i grew up eating really good homemade vietnamese food. I recently moved to pittsburgh and was sad the vietnamese scene was lacking. happy i found this place! i know its authentic when it has the pork blood cubes and pork hooves. thank you for doing it right I ordered to-go, but will be visiting in person to try their pho

    Vermicelli Bun

    I was here for dinner and got the vermicelli bun and a large bowl of just Pho broth. Food was very good bit $$$ were a little steep. $10 for the broth which usually is about $6 everywhere else I go. Bun was good but portion was about 20% less than most places I go to. Overall great food though and friendly staff. Hard to get into if you have disabilities because the front steps are sunken in and harder to use. I would definitely recommend and be back when I'm in the area.

    Was estimated to take 50-60 minutes. My delivery driver kept texting saying the restaurant needed more time. It has been 2 hours and we still do not have our food. All very suspicious so you decide if this is an honest establishment.

    Rare Beef Pho
    Alexandra A.

    we came during the last couple hours on a sunday and the owners were super welcoming and made sure we were well taken care of during our visit. the food was great during a cold night and we came out satisfied from our pho cravings. we got the rare beef pho and shrimp fried rice which i'm sure are popular choices. the pho came in a large bowl so me and my friend were able to split one order in half, and still came out full.

    Combination Pho
    Chris G.

    I'm torn on rating this place, because on one hand the food is absolutely terrific. On the other hand, however, the customer service is absolutely atrocious. I came to dine on 1/14/2024 and the restaurant was pretty busy. However, that shouldn't mean customers should wait 30 minutes before even being acknowledged by the staff. It's very clear that the staff cannot handle busy times efficiently. After being sat, it took another 20 minutes to get a drink (after reminding the server twice) and my appetizer was already out at the table by that point. The crispy chicken dumplings were exactly as the menu described, with 8 stuffed dumplings to an order. I ordered the combination Pho and was pleased with the taste and portion size. It came out very hot, there was plenty of beef and the broth was very hearty. The restaurant itself is quite small so it does get cramped inside very quickly. It's not ideal for large parties and there isn't much room to move around in the restaurant. So be prepared to have people standing right by your tables if there's any sort of wait. Overall, the food was enjoyable but the service left a lot to be desired. While the staff was working hard, it's hard to look past their lack of professionalism and customer service during the busy rush. I would recommend going here maybe for lunch when it's less busy, but don't come if you're in a rush or hurry.

They have a series of vegetarian appetizers, but that's not their focus. In terms of the overall experience, the staff is very friendly and on top of things. We ordered takeout, but the online ordering site didn't give us a confirmation of our order. A quick call to the restaurant confirmed that everything was received and already in process. In terms of the food, the wood ear mushrooms and tofu skins was a clear winner. The broccoli was fine, but I would have preferred Chinese broccoli or watercress if they were available. The five spiced eggplant was fine: steamed to a custard-like level of softness, then paired with a salty sauce and served cold. The dan dan noodles were probably best suited for a dine-in experience and didn't really travel well. My partner tells me that the stuffed pork buns were good, but the solid piece of pork in the center was less optimal than something shredded or thinned out with some vegetable matter. All told, this was a good experience. The vegetarian appetizers were good but not exceptional. The various noodle and bun dishes were very nicely crafted. The hand made noodles were a particularly nice touch, with a lot more flavor and texture than I would have ever expected. If I have any requests, it would be for more vegetable centric noodle options.

I wouldn't really call this a supper club to be honest but the place definitely carries a house music bar vibe and the back bar area and seating is very dimly lit, perfect for cozying up and enjoying a drink late night. The ladies' room was so dark, I mistook it for a storage area because I could only make out a white ladder in the corner that was being used as cute shelving. The place is seat yourself. Our waiter was not super friendly and didn't offer to give us napkins or anything when our wobbly table caused our drinks to splash all over the place. The cook served our chicken with a big smile and happy interaction and we really loved his personality. The bartender also stopped by to bus our table and he was very pleasant as well. We enjoyed the perfectly fried small plate cauliflower with the plum sauce and the fried cheese/garlic wonton bites with the sriracha mayo spicy dipping sauce. The fried chicken breast on the large plate was slightly overcooked with a maple gochuchang sauce that was very bland. We were so thankful that the large plate fried chicken came with a side salad to offer some respite from the heaviness of the fried dishes. It would have been great to have some side acidic or fresh vegetable options like Kimchi or something. Maybe we tried the wrong dishes and there are other not fried things that are delicious? The dirty martini cocktail was just so-so, not really much flavor at all, but the mojito was very good and refreshing. It's probably a good late-night place for a bite and drink.

I will note the back room is really really dark so you might have trouble seeing your food back there. The florals everywhere inside give it a girly touch. Their fried chicken is as crunchy and delicious and everything was flavorful as always. I thought the Ube espresso could have a stronger Ube flavor but I would probably get it again because everything was pretty reasonably priced.
