I was craving pho and decided to give Saigon Bento a try. It's a little confusing because there's a Saigon restaurant and then there's this place, Saigon Bento. There's also a Saigon Bento #2. Apparently Saigon restaurant has been around for forever and is highly recommended, but was much farther, so I decided to come here instead. I honestly just like the meatballs in my pho and they were able to accommodate just this instead of their other preset dishes. It was good and packaged well for takeout! It was ready super quickly!

Somewhere between the kitchen and the table they experience a full existential crisis and dissolve into a noodle-flavored fog. You don't eat this pho so much as you drink it with regret. Then there's the robot. I want to be clear: the robot is trying its best. But a robot is not a coworker, it's a Roomba with delusions of grandeur, and pairing it with exactly one (1) visibly overwhelmed human does not equal "efficient staffing," it equals "understaffed with extra steps." I've seen this establishment's entire org chart and it's one guy and a trash can with wheels. The Vietnamese coffee and salted cold foam, though? Genuinely incredible. Immaculate. The only reason my card has ever been charged here more than once. I racked up a small fortune in reward points on the strength of that coffee alone -- and then went to redeem them, only to discover the website has apparently also fallen into a noodle-textured crisis and is completely down. So now I have points sitting there like Monopoly money for a bank that closed. Great coffee. Great foam. Genuinely inspired idea for a business. Just... catastrophically executed, like someone had a beautiful vision of a pho franchise and then handed the keys to a single tired employee and his robot intern. America needs a real pho franchise. This is not it.

There were plastic chairs and tables. Plenty of seating available. People seemed to trickle in around the early evening. When I walked in they didn't have a line, so there was no wait. I ordered the Shrimp Spring Rolls (with Beef) that was on their menu board. I think it was deli meat, which was ok, but not what I had expected. Tasted how you imagine. Even though I had it packaged "to-go," I chose to eat it inside while I waited on my friend to arrive. The lady behind the counter was very attentive and when she saw my sauce was low, she offered to refill it. I do wish the sauce had a stronger peanut flavor. Overall, it was decent.

If you are craving great, authentic Thai food, give Bangkok Street Food a try. The restaurant is not big, maybe roughly 12 tables. Service is great and waitstaff check up on you periodically. Here's what we ordered, everything is served "family style" so plenty for sharing. 1. Drunken Noodle (Pad Kee Mao) $15.95? Spicy, stir-fried flat rice noodles with your choice of meat (we picked chicken and beef & pork are available for an additional fee) chili, garlic, basil, onion, bell pepper, carrot and tomato. You can pick your level of spicy and we went with spicy. 5/5 2. Crying Tiger $18.95, Thai style grilled beef. Served medium rare with spicy tamarind sauce. This was definitely my favorite. The meat was tender with a bit of fattiness, oh so good. 5/5 3. Thai Boat Noodle Soup $16.95, a savory herbal broth with pork rinds, beansprouts, Chinese broccoli, choice of noodles and choice of beef or pork, topped with fried garlic, green onion, and cilantro. The broth was a bit on the saltier side for me. But overall a great, savory soup. 4/5 I look forward to additional visits because there are so many more dishes that I want to try.

One of the fried chicken (popcorn chicken?) entree plates was also a bit overcooked. However we had quite the spread of other dishes, from pad thai to som thum, and everything else was pretty on-point. It's not going to compare to what you get in Thailand or even Thai Town in Los Angeles, but considering you're all the way out in Bakersfield, this place is quite solid, even down to the vibe and decor inside-- entirely fitting, quite comfortable, and with a little bit of timing/coordination, they handled our large group well too.

I don't think other restaurants in Bakersfield serve this one, so I was pleased to see it on the menu. There's so much to explore on their menu like the banh xeo! Another dish that I could not believe I'd find in Bakersfield. These are foods I'd usually have to travel for. This restaurant looks small on the outside but it's actually pretty big on the inside.
