    Vegetarian Pho & Chicken Pho
    Cody C.

    My wife & I love this place! All of the food is great. Kevin & the staff are so kind & very attentive. We ordering to go or delivery the food still holds its flavor & heat. Highly recommend. We visited Vietnam earlier this year & Saigon Bistro always brings us back.

    Nice, reliable Vietnamese food in a neighborhood that doesn't have a lot of authentic Asian food. I've had their Curry Vegetable Stew lemongrass stir fry before, and both were delicious. My sister really enjoyed the tofu mushroom banh mi she had and said the bread was nice and fresh and the sauce was just the right ratio. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall good spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We've come here during the summer and winter, and during the summer there were a bunch of flies inside so that was annoying.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]No complaints when we came in winter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be back.

    Came here for dinner. The ambiance is enjoyable and good for conversation. The Service is on point and attentive. We had: * Spring Rolls: crispy and fresh. Taste good when combined with the sauce * Pho Beef combo: round steak, brisket, meatballs, tripe, and tendon. I'd say the portion is kinda small vs the biased places that i get in Chinatown Manhattan and Flushing Queens. The ones that i get in NY are much more savory than here. I guess I am subjectively biased. I'd say the only difference between this Pho is that the broth tasted natural and without any msg. Otherwise, wish it provided more proteins... Street parking should be available but depending on time and date it might be hard to find

    Beef Combo Pho. 2 stars. Insta/Beli: @amei_eats

    (Beef Combo Pho: D) - The beef combo pho is the highlight pho dish will all the cuts of beef including tendon, tripe, eye round, and meatballs. Unfortunately, despite being the most complete pho on the menu, I felt that the fundamental basis of the dish, the broth was significantly underdeveloped. The flavor was light but soothing when drinking it alone, but once its added to the noodles, its diluted and too bland to taste the hard work of infusing those rich spices. Furthermore, the eye round was packaged with the broth, so it was significantly overcooked by the time it made its way to home from the takeout order. At almost $20, I felt that this dish was unfortunately not well executed in comparison to other places I've tried, although it is one of the better places in the Jersey City area.

    Pho House Specialty Noodle Soup

    We're new to the Jersey City Heights area & this is a solid pho spot. The pho is more on the lighter end and isn't as savory as to what I'm used to back in Flushing, NY but nonetheless, still good and satisfying. The owner is so nice & staff is very attentive. The spring rolls were pretty good too, just wish it came with more lettuce to wrap them with. So far, we've been back every 2 weeks :) and will continue to come!

    The pad Thai is not good I've never had orange noodle in pad thai? Very greasy, meat not cooked with noodle. No tofu, almost no peanut Get something else! this is not pad thai

    Hooray For Thai Bay!…read more Authentic, Affordable, and Made with Love -- Thai Bay is a Must-Try! Thai Bay is one of those rare mom-and-pop gems that makes you feel like you've discovered something special. It's a tiny spot with just one table, clearly designed more for takeout -- but don't let the size fool you. The food here is phenomenal. The menu is small and selective, but that's what makes it so good. Every dish is made fresh to order with high-quality ingredients, and you can truly taste the difference. Nothing is overly greasy or bland -- just clean, bold Thai flavors that hit every craving. Their curries, stir-fries, and noodles are all standouts. Portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. You can tell this family puts pride and heart into every meal they serve. Whether you're a Thai food fanatic or just looking for a delicious, no-fuss dinner option, Thai Bay will not disappoint. Support this amazing local business -- your taste buds will thank you!

Everything we ordered had great texture and presentation as well. Overall, it was a unique dining experience with authentic flavors and a memorable host.

The men serving us were kind and as helpful as they could be, which I appreciated. My husband really loves braised beef noodle soup, so he was excited to try it here. Unfortunately, the menu didn't mention that it was spicy, and the waiter didn't mention it either. The beef itself was tender and well-seasoned, but there was way too much fat in the dish--honestly, it felt like there was more fat than meat, which was pretty disappointing. The noodles were also overcooked. Instead of having a nice chewy texture, they were soggy. We also ordered a chicken dish, which was nice and subtle. I ended up offering it to my husband because I felt bad about his noodle soup experience. The spices on the chicken were really good and paired nicely with the white rice. Just keep in mind that the rice is ordered separately. Personally, I feel like entrees should come with at least one side, rather than being served as just protein. Overall, the experience was okay, but the braised beef noodle soup was definitely a letdown.
