Pho Saigon Bistro - Vietnamese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

This is my go-to spot when I have a Bun Bo Hue craving (spicy hue style noodle soup with beef, pig blood, pig trotter)! They have the best one in the area hands down! We came here on a Sunday for lunch and we were the ones there. We ordered the BBH and a beef pho with brisket and meatballs. I also wanted Taro smoothie with boba but unfortunately they didn't have boba. My toddler was a little sad about not having boba but the nice owner lady gave us free fried egg rolls instead! What a kind gesture! Beef noodle soup is truly the comfort food on a rainy day. The only thing is the restaurant is simple in its set up and the floors were not the cleanest and a little sticky. Otherwise the best spot for Bun Bo Hue, come try for yourself. read more

We were looking for some late night food, and this was one of the spots that was open till midnight. Understandably there was not many people so we were seated and served relatively quickly. The food was good. We ordered several bowls of Pho, one with egg noodles, as well as a special broken rice plate. I had the broken rice and i really enjoyed it. Decent portion of pork. I would've prefered if the egg was over-easy instead of sunny side up. It only came with 2 shrimp which I felt could've been more. Overall everything tasted really good, especially the pork! read more

If I could give this place a zero star, here it is! The older woman server was so rude. She literally turned away as she was asking us a question, our drink order, not even giving 2 seconds to answer, I couldn't even give her my drink order and my bf couldn't finish his. I have never walked out of a place before. Give better service and talk to people and listen when you serve, simple as that. I'm so disappointed because this place looks so cute and the food looked so delicious. So bummed out. Unfortunately you lost a potential regular customer. You will go out of business if you don't fix your attitude. read more

Even though I haven't always gotten the friendliest service at this establishment, and even though the ambiance leaves a little bit to be desired (the hole-in-the-wall restaurants are always the best anyway, ain't they?) - I am happy to leave a full-on five-star review because their food is unfailingly super delicious. My friend and I have visited this restaurant more times than we can recall, and not once has the food been subpar- consistency is their obvious strength. You always know what you're going to get, and that is delightfully delectable Vietnamese food. I always return whenever I'm in the neighborhood (I unfortunately live too far from this eatery), and I can't wait to go back! read more

The food is delicious! The pork chop rice combo is what I had ordered. But if you are on a time crunch better to do take out. WAITING for our food (dine in) and our additional take out was 1 hour combined. The lady is nice. read more

I've been going here since 2016, my typically go to dish is the rice with grilled lemongrass chicken and it never disappoints me and neither do their eggrolls. Their pho is delicious as well. I know Pho Tango next door has a lot of hype before for their bottomless watered down Thai iced tea, but this place makes them correctly, they aren't bottomless but they are delicious! I will say, make sure you bring cash to tip. Typically I don't carry cash with me, but one of the waitresses knows me since I'm a regular, she kindly reminded me. But I think it's because we have that type of relationship Even with my previous nail tech in Beaverton told me this was her go to place. All I know is the food is always delicious and staff is always so kind. Keep in mind they may not always tend to you for refills of water so try to flag them down if you can. read more

PLEASE CHECK YOUR RECEIPT BEFORE LEAVING. If you decide to eat here. Food was not the best. It was very leaner side of portions and I felt the food was sitting out for a long time... as well We showed up and there were plates on the table next to us from another customer. She never cleaned it up the whole time we were there. She was just on her phone. I felt if the place wasn't clean then probably the food wasn't either. Also it was complete silence the entire time with no white noise or music.. it felt awkward. The other thing that was a bad impression was when it was time to check out she added another plate on our tab. She was insistent that we had another plate. From the moment we got there till we left it was bad impression. Messy tables, lady on her phone, and adding another plate $18 plate to the tab. Save your money from this place. read more

The Bun Bo Hue here is spot-on--spicy, flavorful, and really authentic. The Steak & Brisket Pho is total comfort food, with a rich broth and tender meat that just hits the spot. The wings are unbelievable--crispy, juicy, and that fish sauce glaze makes them crazy addictive (probably the best Vietnamese wings I've had in Portland). The spring rolls are light, fresh, and perfect for summer. And honestly, the owner is just so welcoming--it feels like they actually care that you're there, which makes the whole meal even better. read more

Stopped in late for a bowl of pho and damn it was good! Plenty of fresh herbs, huge pieces actually tender chicken. The lady serving was On her own but friendly and efficient. I think I liked it more than tango. Will return! read more

Pho Saigon Bistro - Pho ga - Vietnamese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

The only place I know that serves lemongrass beef Banh mi in Portland. Simple strip mall when inside they have seating but maybe more of a to go place. The lemongrass was super tender decent seasoning. It has some heat with fresh carrots and cucumbers lots of cilantro. Friendly service with a smile sit where they might want you to sit. Greeted the other customers as they left both parties were satisfied. Over great little spot I come here for the lemongrass beef! Banh mi. Amazed by the thick tender beef in the banh mi the person behind the counter said they pay more to have this particular tender beef. They also have vermicelli dishes, rice and pho. I will be back again for the beef lemongrass banh mi, if life allows! read more

It's okey, that lady served us is rude! Don't even say hi or smiling. lol I'm an Asian w my grandkids 2 and my daughter and I wonder why she say hi to everyone there except us. My first and last to go this place. There's onother pho restaurant there I will try that one next time. I should not even leave a tip . Forget that place!. read more

This pho place gets my 4 stars rating but their price has increased 25% making it 1 of the most over priced pho giving it portion and taste...pho ally is my #1 place to go now. read more

Understaffed but amazing food. My Holy Grail is the Pho Special. The Next Time Around is the #2 Barbecue Pork Banh Mi. The Hidden Gem is the #46 Broken Rice Plate and Crispy Fried Noodles w/ Seafood read more

They missed my order and didn't make it until I asked to cancel my order. Understaffed and long wait.

This was my 2nd time here and my last. The staff were nice enough. However the restaurant was pretty dirty. Dirty dishes at several tables. The condiment containers were nasty, sticky fish sauce covered bottles, dried condiment on the outside of the bottles. The silverware had dried & crustified food on them. My water class still had lip marks, fingerprints and smudges throughout. I ordered the Banh Mi (# 1 on the menu) This has got to be the worst Banh Mi I have ever had!! The roll was so over toasted, when I took a bite it shattered like a bread grenade. The ingredients seemed to be thrown in with no regard, the cilantro, daikon, carrot and jalapeño were sitting on the bottom of the basket. So I basically had to re-build my sandwich. The vegetables didn't seem to be pickled either. But they were nice enough....... read more

Plenty of tables. Clean space. Bottles of condiments not messy. Service very good. Proportions good. Lemongrass marinade was not strong enough to taste like lemongrass. Food was still delicious though. Wished the music wasn't so generic and loud. read more

Pho Saigon Bistro - #21 grilled lemongrass chicken bowl with noodles, carrots and bean sprouts. Nice for summer. A bit pricey. - Vietnamese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

I usuay order the vermicelli bowls here and the veggies are fresh and the meat is flavorful. The interior is modern and clean and food service is always quick. Their prices are a little on the high side for a noodle bowl - $15.50 for the vermicelli bowl and their spring rolls are expensive for two small rolls. But the food is consistent and tasty read more

Pho Saigon Bistro - Beef tenderloin vermicelli bowl - Vietnamese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Always good for lunch, and is a regular on my list of places to have lunch when I'm in Hillsboro. The atmosphere is pleasant and clean: quick service and friendly staff, too. My go to on the menu are the Vermicelli bowls (beef, chicken and salmon) and pho (I've tried them All..,delish) - the portions are generous and always fresh and delicious. They are located in a very busy multi-business strip mall, and parking is tricky sometimes. Give them a try next time you're looking for delicious food in Hillsboro. read more

Pho Saigon Bistro - Lunch with hubby!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

Disappointed in my experience here. Was not greeted when I came in and no smiles from the staff at all, so I felt like my being there was an inconvenience. I had a challenge with communication and was not understood when asking what came on the sandwich - "chicken" is not a full ingredient list. This is not the place to go if you have food allergies - or want to know what's going to be on your sandwich. Despite being the only customer, my single sandwich took almost 20 minutes, and came with most of the toppings in separate containers so I basically had to put it together myself. Was that what they thought I wanted, because I asked what was on it? I will never know. The sandwich itself lacked the Banh Mi flavors that I had been looking forward to. I ended up not finishing it. I'll have to sum this one up with a "meh". read more

In these tough 'coronavirus' times, this place has got some nerve! I'm not in the medical field, but my job is still considered 'mission critical' as I deal with payroll. So in other words, I'm one that needs to go into the office. I've eaten here for lunch before, and I can't say their pho was ever memorable for me to want to come back. Looking past that, I thought I'd give them a takeout dinner try. Well it's only 6:30pm, and I am aware of special hours (they still specify 9:30pm closing), and also that some restaurants may limit items on their menu. Understandable, but I had a busy day at work and for some reason had a HUGE craving for pho. I noticed their Open sign on so I walked in, with plans to just place an order. The place was empty obviously, so I just stood at the door. A lady that I have seen before comes out from the back. No smile, NO MASK, yells at me to go outside and call. We're a good twenty feet away. "Call what? I'm already here, can I just do a takeout order please? I'm starving!" "You need to go outside and call," she replied again. WTF, I should have slammed the door on my way out, how rude! Never have I had a complaint about this place until yesterday, and after a long busy day at work too. OMG the nerve of some people, great, now where the F do I go? I'm all about "supporting the locals", but damn to be basically told to leave. F THIS PLACE!!! Dining area: DIRTY!!! Yelp Health Score: LOW and violations! I'm sure its really rats! Five-star Reviews: Short and FAKE! One-star Reviews: Believable! Food: Bleh! Staff: Again, NO MASK and rude! Spare yourself everyone! There are way better pho places only about two miles away. Saigon Bowl Vietnamese Eatery is way better. Or Vivi's Noodle House by the airport is even way way higher quality. And that's a family cares about their business and customers. This place is local garbage! read more

Went back this weekend to find it even more filthy, and the price of the Pho bowl increased from $9.25 to $16.00, could we invest in some sanitation at those prices? ill keep an eye on the joint from Tango across the way, blah read more

My kid and I had sushi happy hour plans that were disrupted by a side trip to see my doctor. We missed the happy hour window. If you have a hungry teen that's not good. Pho then,she said. Ok. So we bopped in here about 5:30 on a Friday for our typical pho with chicken.We were the only customers aside from a few takeouts for most of our visit. Service was straightforward and not remotely fawning. I wouldn't call it unfriendly, it just is not phony friendly. If you want that, maybe try a Red Robin. I think there were only two women working so we didn't see them too much nor did we get water refills or asked how things were. We could hear them banging pots around in the back and saw them putting takeout banh mis together. Some tables had dirty dishes on them, one had a takeout order waiting for a while. And a gentleman who came in as we were wrapping up waited a long while before he was helped. He seated himself and got his own menu. We ordered a Thai iced tea that Princess declared the best she ever had. I tried it. Nope. Still not my thing. But she loved it. The pho arrived in giant bowls with a side plate of bean sprouts, a lime wedge, Thai basil, and a couple big slices of jalapeno. The usual sticky bottles of sriracha, hoisin, chile paste, and soy sauce were available on the table. The server brought us spoons, chopsticks, and forks ( I have never been offered one at pho before and really didn't need a fork but Princess used hers to spear her chicken slices from the depths of her pho bowl). We will dub this some good chicken pho. I have no idea if the broth was beef or chicken but it had good depth of flavor and a big anise punch. The noodles were good with a nice texture, the chicken was breast meat in nice tender slices. We both brought our leftovers home like they were precious treasure which is a sign we liked the soup. Our one complaint was that it could have been just a little hotter in temperature. Two bowls of pho and the tea were under $23. My kid texted a picture of her bowl to her BFF, who says soup is an " insufficient nutritional delivery system". He only eats pizza or macaroni and cheese. He is missing out. Pho is good stuff. This place , while not perfect, has good pho. Give it a shot. P.S. The parking lot is awful. P.P.S. They have a big Viet menu with all the things if you are not a pho person. read more

Picked up my food and was a little early. It wasn't hot. It was barely warm. I'm sure they were very busy as it was a Saturday but the lady was very short with me and I didn't feel very welcome. The bahn mi was great but the egg rolls were not so much. read more

A hidden gem oddly adjacent to a well established staple Vietnamese/Chinese hybrid that is Pho Tango. When I first visited this location over 3 years ago I walked away satisfied but thinking they had a long way to go. I hadn't been back until this winter. I'm not sure if there's new ownership or updated recipes but I gotta say, it is really worth a try as I've been back 3 times in 4 weeks. My two go to soups are the classic special everything-in-it pho dac biet, or Bun Bo Hue when I want a bit of a kick. The pho is light on MSG and strong in beef bones flavor. When one can smell and taste the bone marrow (yeah that sounded better in my head), wow, they are doing something right. The bun bo hue does have congealed pork blood and some pork leg cartilage to chew on (that sounded better in my head too) but you can ask them to remove it. Flavor profile is quite unique but I can't say it is "authentic" in terms of having more lemongrass and certain spices, not to say it is lacking but the dominant flavor is a very warm and bold shrimp paste flavor, in the best way. Whatever brand or concoction they are using, it's great. My buddy who is a BBH fanatic felt the same way, definitely worth a try. We also ordered grilled pork rice and once again nicely done with fresh slices of cucumber with pickled carrots. Marinated pork chops had great fish sauce, sugar and lemongrass flavors abound. This is not a big place, maybe 30 ppl at most and if short on staff they are slammed. I saw A LOT of take out which speaks for their popularity even being adjacent to Pho Tango. If you have a small group give them a try, I think you'll walk away satisfied if you forgive the wait during busy hours. read more

If you value sanitation or care about the adherence of proper Covid protocols, I strongly urge you to go elsewhere. NONE of the staff (including the one preparing food in the kitchen) were wearing masks. If I hadn't already placed an order for take-out beforehand, I would've left immediately, but even that has its issues. They didn't start preparing my food until I arrived to pick it up 20 minutes (eta I was given) after the order was placed and paid for. That would've been understandable if the restaurant was busy, but there were no customers in sight. Now I'm not usually a stickler for service, but when I told the lady I was here for pick up, she looked confused until she rummaged through some slips and found the order, clearly forgotten. I didn't expect an apology, but she acted as if I was the one to drop the ball-yelling "15 MINUTES!!!" with an air of stank before busting open the kitchen door to pass on the order. When I came back 15 minutes later, the same lady was taking orders from a couple that was dining in-this time with a mask on, worn as a chin guard, nose and mouth exposed, standing inches away from them. What is the point of putting it on when you can't even be bothered to wear it properly? The food was mediocre at best-hastily packaged with bits and pieces sticking out of the box. The Vietnamese coffee I ordered was filled to the brink with chunky ice-after I specifically requested light ice. I've refrained from writing reviews for a while-especially negative ones, but this was by far the most atrocious experience I've had with any business since Covid started. If they can't follow a procedure as simple as wearing a mask (even if to act in the presence of a customer), their whole sanitation practice comes into question. read more

This place has been open for about 2 weeks. They have smoothies, bubble tea, coffee, sandwiches, noodle dishes, and a few other items. I had the lemongrass beed sandwich and it was good. The cilantro and peppers gave it a nice taste. The owners were both nice and one used to work at solar world. read more

Pho Saigon Bistro - Lemongrass beef banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

This is my go to for pho and BBH. Been a regular for 4-5 years now and the main owner is super nice. Their BBH is the best around Hillsboro. It has authentic blood jelly and pork ham hock in it. They also have good rice and chicken, if you like shrimp get the combo with that in it for an extra dollar. Within the rice and chicken, they give you some veggies like cucumber and pickled carrots and jicama. I prefer this place over all the pho spots in Hillsboro! read more

I tried the lemongrass chicken bahn mi and lemongrass pork vermicelli. Both were okay, nothing special. I wish the bahn mi had more veggies and that they were actually pickled. The meat was kinda greasy. One staffer was very abrupt. read more

Horrible attitude from the lady working November 28th 2021. I ordered online for pickup and even tipped $10! I walked in and waited for a few minutes without even seeing anyone. Finally a lady comes out and screams.....what you need!!??? I said.....I ordered online. She screamed (again). I have nothing for you! I said.....you don't have an online order for me? NO! No online orders! You from Grubhub!?? I said no but I ordered through them. She then screamed yet again. Oh then it's over on the table!! I said oh ok thanks and she didn't even acknowledge me. NEVER going back. read more

The good: Grilled pork was tasty, egg rolls were good, and bubble tea was good. The Bad: Pad Thai was dry and flavorless, full of burnt eggs, and my wife nearly broke a tooth on a rock that was in it. Pass on this place. read more

Wonderful. Had the steak, grilled shrimp and egg roll vermicelli. The shrimp were fired crispy, but the bowl overall delicious; the real reason for the 5 star is that their beef is PERFECT, it's so tender and grilled just right. Makes the whole dinner. They are not sparing any expense on the beef, it's a higher grade than most restaurants are serving these days. Sorta have to beg for beverages, the sugar has solidified in the shaker but...overall nice folks. read more

I had the Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi and pork egg roll to-go. The sandwich was a notch or two low on the chicken but both items were very tasty! I had to wait over ten minutes which seemed a bit long to me. I would not plan on eating-in here due to the lack of tables. A couple walked in and was told there would be no tables for a while so they left. read more

Pho Saigon Bistro - Lemongrass Chicken Banh Mi... tasty - Vietnamese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

This is my newly discovered favorite PHO place in Hillsboro. It's located right off Imbrie near my employer. Funny thing this restaurant is located in the same strip mall/ plaza as Pho Tango. The broth here is great with the right amount of noodles and meat. The workers are friendly and pleasant to talk with. It is a smaller place but I love the somewhat open feel to the place. The price is right at around $9 for the Pho Dac Biet, and they also have bubble tea and Vietnamese Binh minh sandwiches here. I always order the pho when I come here and it never fails to disappoint. My friend has the lemongrass chicken and he has mentioned that it is one of the best version of this dish he has had. I love eating here and will continue to do so. read more

This is better that it's neighbor's thai resto. I ordered their bbq beef, shrimp and chicken, it was good. Next time I have to try their pho

My husband and I got food poisoning after eating here for lunch yesterday. He got it far worse than I did (I was really worried about him), which makes us think it was his meal that was contaminated. I had a bite of his which is probably why I got away with non-severe symptoms. He actually had a very similar experience to what the reviewer from 3/5/2018 reported: about 6 hours of suffering 7 hours after eating. Here's what each of us ordered: Him: Grilled Lemongrass Chicken, Thai Iced Tea Me: Egg Rolls, Fried Chicken Wings, Taro Boba Smoothie We thought the Lemongrass Chicken had a weird spongy texture that probably meant it was low quality meat. We liked our drinks, but the food was simply okay and not anything we'd order again. read more

We stopped here on the way home from the coast. We spilt an order of eggrolls and both went for the lemongrass grilled chicken sandwich. The eggrolls ate lighter than most I have had, a welcome trait. They were brought out right away with some tasty dipping sauce. The bahn mi were perfect for a light meal. The bread was toasty, the veggies crisp and the chicken flavorful. The place is spotless, the service quick and friendly and the prices very affordable. I also tried the coconut drink. Perhaps it is one of those cultural differences that don't translate well to my western palate, it isn't something I would order again. This is the second place I have had bahn mi and I loved it from both. I may have found my new most favorite sandwich. I look forward to trying this at other places and see how they compare. I will definitely be coming back to this place when I am passing through. Yum! read more

Very bad service, rude lady. Food was poorly made, got the sandwich and it was just messy and the meat did not look appetizing. Place all around also is not sanitary. read more

Am from out of town, came in for 2 weeks training, and been here 3x already, yesterday I was able to tried the Com Tam saigon, rice special, love it, really tasty, specially the pork which has lemon grass that the right way to do. My first time was there at lunch which was crowded, I was going to go Pho Tango but went with my instinct stay, the next two time came back on off peak hours, the food are very consistent and the owner is very nice. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO EVERYONE. The second reviewer kinder harsh on them, if you want quick food, why don't you go McDonald or Taco bell next to it, this is call dinning or seat down restaurant which mean you have to prepare the food. read more

Three stars because I liked it, but didn't love it. I ordered the Pho bo vien. While it was decent, I can't say it was the best I ever had. While we were in the car, my friends and I were contemplating whether to go into Pho Tango or Saigon Bistro. It was quite odd that there are two pho places in the same complex area. We decided on Saigon Bistro because although, Pho Tango looked more modern and developed, I was turned off by the giant TV screens for sports viewing. I assumed Saigon Bistro would have more authentic Vietnamese food. When we entered, I noted how empty the place was. We were not greeted right away and stood around awkwardly. After being seated though, everything was fine. Food was decent, service was decent. It was A-OK read more
