    1. Crispy Egg Rolls / Chá Giò (2)
    Glenn G.

    We drove past this little spot on our way to our hotel while in town for a funeral. It was close enough that we walked back for dinner. This is the definition of Mom and Pop. There was a gentleman watching Vietnamese videos on his phone and he told us we could sit anywhere. There were boxes and supplies outside the little hallway to the restroom. But how was the food? We got egg rolls (cha gio), chicken pho and bun bo hue. All were delicious and filling on a cold day. Our two lemonades were also good. Only a few other customers came in while we were there but it looked like some were also pickup up takeout. Staff seemed to disappear at times so I had to track down someone to pay at the counter. Anyway, nice little Vietnamese spot in Springfield.

    Local Vietnamese restaurant in Springfield. They have various food items from pho to chicken dishes. The service here is great and the ambiance is your traditional Vietnamese restaurant.

    Pho

    Really nice staff. Food was amazing. Tried a lot of things pho, stir fry sea food, shrimp rolls. Everything was awesome

    32. Tái (pho with thin beef slices)

    The food was great and the service was even better! I went there with a group of coworkers and the atmosphere was amazing. The staff was very welcoming and helped with any trouble we had when it came to understanding the menu. They were also very respectful seeing how we were a group of 10 that arrived an hour before closing. The food was so amazing and I can't wait to eat there again.

    Pho Tai
    Samina M.

    Decent quality Pho with great service! Came in for dinner and got the Pho Tai. Had generous slices of meat, lots of spring onions, and tasty noodles. The broth was a bit bland - not as good as my favorite Pho place in Herndon. The fresh basil and Sriracha helped elevate the flavor, however, not as spicy as I would have liked it. The ambiance is very Mom and Pop with eclectic decor. A bit divey, but charming in its own way. A good Pho spot if you are in the area in the need of an affordable bowl!

    Beef Pho

    It was pretty empty when I arrived around 1:00 PM, but had a bunch of tables when I left. The pho was good, and it came with a generous portion of meat. The iced coffee was large and excellent and lasted about 30 seconds.

    84. Beef Stewed with Bread
    Julie S.

    Since our go to place down the street for Vietnamese food was closed; I decided to take my nephews here for dinner. It was my first time here. First impressions is that it is a no frills hole in the wall restaurant. Service was not particularly friendly but nevertheless; prompt. I ordered the plain pho for my nephews and beef stew with bread for myself. Both were fairly decent although I give them props for how well the beef and tendons were cooked. The texture was cooked perfectly. I would consider returning if I'm in the area again!

    Vietnamese Sandwich - Banh Mi (pork)
    Ashley S.

    This is the fourth time in nine months that I've been here, and this place does NOT disappoint! The pork in the banh mi sandwich was plentiful and flavorful, and the pickled veggies brought a delicious balance. The bo kho is my favorite soup, even moreso than the #16 pho, which always hits the spot. The beef is so tender and the vegetables are perfectly cooked. To top it all off, unfortunately I didn't take a picture but their Vietnamese iced coffee is the perfect blend of sweet and strong. We were gonna get boba afterwards but we didn't need to after tasting their coffee. The first time I ate here was a purely random choice but now, I honestly don't want to try any other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. This is my favorite Vietnamese spot!!!

    This is what I get for not heeding the advice of the unofficial "Mayor of Springfield," Richard C (https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=ql4ogqNGYQR1LgIGtfCxbA) who gave Saigon City a very tepid 3 star rating back in 2018. Like others in the area, I've driven past past Saigon City many times on my way to the Springfield Town Center or en route to the nearby Trader Joe's. And I'm always on the lookout for good Vietnamese places which don't require me to drive all the way to Eden Center or other parts of Falls Church, so I decided to finally stop in to see if there was good local Viet cuisine. Walking in at around 5pm for an early dinner, I was encouraged since I observed many Vietnamese patrons, including some large families. And I also had a couple of friends along (one of which happened to be Vietnamese) so as to get a larger sample size of opinions. Well, sad to say but my overall experience at Saigon City was very disappointing. First off, the service was abysmal. There were only three of us, so the other wait staff was running around tending to the larger tables to the point where we didn't receive any menus or water for a good 10-15 minutes (and that's after I flagged someone down to request these items). Secondly, it was another 15 minutes before we saw our server again to take our orders; this resulted in our food not arriving until we had been in the restaurant for almost ONE hour! And once the food arrived, it was a subpar "meh". While most people are familiar with the ubiquitous Pho as the standard bearer for Vietnamese noodle soup, my favorite has always been the Mi Bho Ko. When done properly, it consists of hearty dark broth with carrots, onions, and various pieces of "stewed all day" beef. The version here at Saigon City was not good. The broth was very watery and lacked the rich flavor which characterizes this dish. And the meat was tough and many were fatty. I also asked for yellow egg noodles, but got the white vermicelli instead. My dining companions tasted my dish, and agreed with my mediocre assessment. Other dishes included the Bún Thit Nuong, which is the grilled pork over rice vermicelli, veggies, and accompanied by Vietnamese style egg rolls. I tried some of the pork, and it was overcooked, dry, and flavorless. Typically, the meat should have a nice umami flavor derived from a sweet/salty Fish sauce based marinade, but the all I could taste was salt. And the egg rolls were all wrong. They were borderline burnt with hardly any meat in the filling. The accompanying Nc Mm also tasted of a cheap fish sauce base and lacked the citrus notes I usually associate with this dipping accompaniment. Our other friend got a large bowl of the number 17 pho (Tái, Nam, Gau, Gân, Sách), which honestly was a bit overpriced at $10.50. No pics since everyone has seen a bowl of pho. My tasting notes were, the broth was okay (still too salty), decent portion of meat, but way too many noodles for $10.50 I dunno - maybe we ordered the wrong items since Saigon City has been operating at this location in Springfield for over 13 years, so obviously they must have their fans. OR Could it be that because people don't want to drive an hour to Eden Center for Vietnamese cuisine, this is good enough? Based upon my rating, you can deduce what I think.

    70. Chicken Curry Special

    Excellent place for delicious Vietnamese fare! You know this place is legit because they serve young coconut drink, complete with piercing the husk yourself with a straw. Pho broth was outstanding. Surprisingly, their shrimp pad thai is better than some of the Thai restaurants nearby! They also had tasty sweet boba tea. Service was quick, and we got seated immediately despite being prime lunch weekend hours. Best of all it was pretty cheap for the amount of food we got!

I liked how at the get-go they gave me a full set of silverware and chopsticks swaddled in a napkin. The crispy 1. Chả Giò spring rolls with ground pork and crab were excellent. I especially liked that they provided two dipping sauce for the spring rolls. One sauce was sweet and the other was tart with fish sauce flavor. I liked both sauces equally. For my entrée, I ordered the 24. Cơm Sườn Chả pork chop. I was intrigued by the menu description which included egg custard and broken rice. Overall, the pork was very good and I liked that it was not over-marinated with lemongrass. The egg custard was a square of something gelatinous. It had a mild pleasant flavor. So the broken rice is interesting. It seems like a short-grain white rice, but has a very nice somewhat dense texture. Even though the menu advertised lettuce with tomato for my pork chop, the lettuce came with thinly sliced carrot and radish instead of tomato, which was fine. The only negative about my visit to Brothers Bistro was that the pork chop came out at the same time as the spring rolls appetizer.

We also ordered two rolls, the Double Toro Roll and the Double Salmon Roll. Both were drenched in a Japanese dressing or soy-based sauce, which caused them to fall apart almost immediately after picking them up. The flavor was overly sour and salty, making it hard to taste the freshness of the fish. Overall, the balance of flavors felt completely off. We also tried the Spicy Crunchy Tuna Bites, and to our surprise, the only crunchy element was a small part of the outer rice shell. Everything else was chewy and overloaded with mayo, so it wasn't a favorite for us. The service: The service was a bit touch-and-go throughout the meal.
