    Food was great! Very flavorful. Service was quick and food was delivered to the table quickly. Ambiance is casual. Keep in mind it is a small restaurant with a heavy takeout flow on weekends so you eating around everyone. It is in a shopping center so parking is convenient. Matcha milk cake was fantastic.

    Seafood pho
    Elizabeth L.

    Solid prices, great menu and really good Vietnamese food. We dropped by for lunch one day visiting our old neighborhood and was pleasantly surprised by the menu, and ultimately the food. What a nice treat, bowls were pretty huge, we had our kids share one bowl of pho and it was PLENTY. They have all the regular fixings and offerings plus a few menu options like a special calamari dish, various teas and drinks and some apps that are great options for sharing. Summer rolls (5/5) were fresh, big and delish Pho we tried the combo, regular and seafood all were (5/5) good broth, ample noodles and loads of yummy ingredients The restaurant overall is small and located in the plaza with CVS and Panera. Would recommend and would definitely come back. Not the best photos sorry! We were a hungry bunch. Staff was friendly and quick!

    I'm so glad to have a great pho restaurant in fair lawn! We've dined in a few times but mostly do takeout from Saigon Bistro. The inside is on the smaller side, with 4-5 tables. For appetizers, the tofu summer rolls and great. They're refreshing and come with a delicious peanut dipping sauce. We always get pho- the vegetable, chicken, and beef are all great. And they package the pho very well for takeout- the noodles and add-ins come separately from the broth. We've tried the curry noodle, pad Thai, banh mi, everything is great. The staff are also very nice and do their best to accommodate special requests.

    We were pleasantly surprised when we stopped by here for dinner. Hidden in a small strip mall in town, the inside is bigger than what it seems outside. It was spacious with a few tables for those dining in and decorated with painting depicting different aspects of Vietnamese culture. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was good. The food was actually really good! Most of us had noodle dishes, and my husband had the pork belly banh mi. The price for what we ordered was very reasonable. We definitely do plan to come back the next time we're around.

    The Spicy Lemongrass Soup was more creamy than it was spicy but still very delicious and fresh in a way too. The pho is also great here - and if you're ordering the meat rolls, ask for more of the pickled daikon and carrots, as the acidity really helps cut out any greasiness from the soups. Service was a bit spotty but there was limited front of house staff and a lot of pickup orders being placed/fulfilled.

    Thai Iced Tea
    Oi W.

    6/15/24 We were in the neighborhood and decided to stop in for lunch. YUM! Service was good. Food was so good. Cute little place with just a few tables. Vietnamese Ice Coffee - hubby loved it, I don't drink coffee. Viet-Style Wing - so good, hubby was not happy because they didn't have the little drumstick part of the wing Sugarcane Shrimp - delicious! Slightly sweet and savory a perfect combo Grilled Rice Platter with Pork Chop - I loved it, so tasty. I only wish I had more! Definitely will come back next time we are in the area.

    Delicious food and friendly service. Small dining area. Pho was so fantastic. As was the vermicelli platter and summer rolls. The peanut sauce that accompanied the summer rolls was top notch. Everything tasted so fresh.

    Pho dac biet

    Food: 2.5/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 2.5/5 Truly just an okay experience with okay pho dac biet. I prefer mine to have more spices in the broth and al dente noodles.

    Beef Combo Pho
    Kaitlyn C.

    Not meant for large groups! Very limited seating inside and I waited approx. 10 min for a table but wasn't bad. Spring rolls were so crispy and piping hot. Great filling and flavor. The beef combo pho is the best option if you aren't picky with meats. Good variety, healthy serving of meats and noodles, and clean, flavorful broth

    I can't think of a better soup for a snowy weekend in #newjersey! @saigoninnj serves the hottest, freshest and most flavorful Pho. Pro tip-order your beef extra rare on the side for a quick cooking tender technique! With four locations in New Jersey @saigoninnj got you covered! We visited #fairlawnnj location and it was authentically Vietnamese! The service is amazing and they have indoor seating! Insta: @thehungrysw Pho House Specialty Noodle Soup-Slow cooked beef broth, charred onions, roasted ginger, star anise, cinnamon, other Vietnamese herbs and spices. Spicy Lemongrass Noodle Soup-Imported chilies from Huế, garlic, rice noodles, thinly sliced beef, brisket, and beef ball.

It's a small space with just a few tables. Since we didn't live in the area we opted to sit and eat. While we waited several people came into get takeout or pickup. There was just the chef and the server. Both were nice and helpful. We ordered the Korean BBQ Ribs and the Southern Ribs. Hubby liked the Korean and I preferred the Southern. But both were good, I just found the Southern saucier and more tender. The NYC XXX Bacon was amazing!!! Love love love so juicy and tender with a touch of spicy. Korean Slaw was another fav that we ordered an extra to take home. Collard Greens were not bad, a little spicy. Cornbread was way too dry... hubby was fine with it. We enjoyed our meal very much.

They are trying to figure out a new donut supplier, so it'll be off for a while. However, the owner was heading out for an errand, and offered to buy doughnuts ad-hoc if I still wanted the chonut and I took him up on it! What service. Chonut: he got a Paris Baguette maple donut, which was a good level of sweetness. It wasn't warmed up at all and the bottom donut got really soggy, so I wonder how it would compare to their normal donut. I loved the combination of sweetness and savory - I'd get this again to see what a full potential donut sandwich could look like. Cholander Fries: we ordered this while waiting, and a solid appetizer with lots of flavors. We got the BBQ Sampler box, and they allowed us to replace the 2 ribs with pork belly instead. The pork belly was the standout - it's both very crispy and fatty. They also gave us a gochujang glaze sauce because they said it paired well with the pork belly, and it did! The brisket was good too and certainly benefited from the sauces available, as well as the pork shoulder. I thought the Mac and cheese was standard but the kimchi slaw wasn't refreshing although interesting.

For over 25 years, Benny's Luncheonette has offered an excellent opportunity, and my partner and I came for brunch as first-timers today. No reservations are allowed at this location, so it is first come, first served. Upon entering this cozy old-school diner vibe filled with old memorabilia of phonograph records and wall posters, we were greeted by the staff and able to get a booth along the right side of the restaurant where the aroma of great-smelling food just SMACKED one right in the face. The menu was extensive with good selections for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. We decided on the Grilled Cheese Turkey Bacon sandwich and a side of Home Fries as well as a Florentine Omelette. To my surprise, they had empanadas in chicken or beef, which I tried their beef. It was absolutely delicious, not greasy, as it was baked with a thin crust. Complimentary mini Chocolate Chip muffins started our meal. The rest of our food arrived hot and was tasty, fresh, and well-seasoned. Prices were very affordable, and the portions were generous. The service was amazing and attentive, and our server was Jamie. Overall, this place was one of the best combinations of cost vs. quality and portion ratios, where the customer service just pushed it over the top, which we could recommend.

Stepped in and was greeted by the nicest lady who immediately offered me a sip of their "uptown" drink - a mix of iced tea and lemonade. It was quite tasty. That was just the beginning of the warmth that this establishment exuded, they were super nice and friendly. They asked my name, but I forgot to ask theirs. As I waited for my food, she began bringing me samples of the sides and desserts. She had me sample the banana pudding (she asked first if I ate bananas) - this was super flavorful of banana, as another review said, not just vanilla pudding with some sliced bananas in it. Beyond that, she brought me a little piece of frosted banana bread, a dense, rich flavorful lemony cake, and a frosted pound cake. The lemony one was my favorite. Next came a bit of sweet potatoes, with huge flavor that I haven't really experienced before in a dish like this. She also let me try the mac and cheese (great spices in it!) and collard greens (tastes just how you expect!), as well as one of their "French fries" which is a round slice of potato, really good and so much more interesting than normal fries. She brought this out with her rib sauce to taste/dip, which was also good. She also had some great conversation about boxing and bringing the neighborhood together. When I got my food, it was bursting out of the takeout container and she had to use a rubber band to keep it closed. The cutlery set came with A dumdum lollipop and a piece of bubble gum as well. I ordered: 2 piece fried chicken - leg and thigh with mac and cheese and collard greens and cornbreak. They also added a few fries in, coleslaw, and hot sauce. The chicken was tasty, but the pieces were huge! The cornbread was dense and sweet, delicious. The coleslaw was super creamy. I'll be back and I'd encourage anyone nearby to check it out.
