“ Definitely recommend the taro fries/chicken wing appetizer! Vegan pho with beef broth was great, wish it came with a more variety of vegetables. Would revisit for the catfish and other entrees! ”
“ Best Vietnamese I Ever Had! Laughing because it’s the first time I tried Vietnamese cuisine – not sure how I missed this. The atmosphere is just gorgeous, simple and very Zen. I was comfortable immediately and the friendly staff is quite professional. My water glass never went below half way, a dropped napkin was replaced in seconds. The food is amazing – so delicious, well-seasoned and a range of dishes, all new to me. Of course, I wanted to try the pho but it was a hot summer day and didn’t want soup, but they offer a wok tossed pho which was so good. The menu has interesting selections and the variety will please all palates. ”
“ 6/5 rating! Visited and ordered here over a hundred times. Food and service is so good! Food: Everything is great. For apps, their chicken wings / taro fries are . Can’t help but get them every time. For mains, can’t go wrong with the phos (District Pho, Steak & Brisket, or Meatball are my favorite). Love their Traditional Bahn Mi w/ egg too- order it for takeout a lot. Tried the Shaken Steak and Egg recently and it was great too! So many good options. Service: Consistently good. We’ve never had a problem with attentiveness, refilling waters, getting ahold of someone. The place is spacious but someone’s always walking around. Great decor and interior. It’s spacious but it’s never jam packed. Even during busy meal hours we can always find a seat when dining in. When ordering out or getting delivery, service is super fast too. Love love love District Saigon! My favorite Vietnamese spot in town. ”
“ The vietnamese food here was amazing. My favorite entree was the shaken steak & egg. I also ordered a beef pho soup as a side order for my steak which complemented my meal. We ordered their spring rolls (not shown) for appetizer which had meat, shrimp and noodles inside with fish sauce on the side. Overall, the ambiance in the restaurant was great. Great for dates or lunch/dinner with family. ”
“ Come here for lunch special which end at 5pm to get Pho and Bhan mi for $15. Amazing price, great service, always a spot up front or back to get a seat. Great spot to eat before you do karaoke or any activity near the area. Also good for a date the Pho is phenomenal. ”
