Went there for dinner on a Wednesday evening an hour before closing. Was greeted warmly and served some delicious authentic Vietnamese dishes. Everything was fresh and you could tell there was great pride put into the preparation and presentation of the plates. Offered to fill up our water bottles before setting out on our walk back to the hotel. Would highly recommend!

Delicious and quick! We went on a windy cold day and the broth was just what my body needed. Shrimp rolls were fresh, crunchy, and paired with the perfect ratio peanut sauce. Beef rolls were just as amazing. We ordered rare beef pho and egg noodle wonton bbq beef and shrimp soup. Highly recommend all of our choices and would go back in a heartbeat!

We did take out and they said it would be ready in 40 minutes. We arrived about 45 minutes and had to wait another 20 minutes before it was ready. We arrived home with everything we needed for a feast, but were a little disappointed when all the food was somewhat bland, not to much flavor.

★★★
July 31, 2023

Though the venue was nice, I was disappointed with the service and quality of the food. The spring rolls had barely any filling consisting of mostly vermicelli, one piece of lettuce, a shrimp, and chicken surprisingly. The pho flavor was decent but the portion size was small and the noodles were strangely wide. There also wasn’t any of the typical complimentary sides like bean sprouts, basil, peppers, and limes. The service was nonexistent and we had to write down our order ourselves. The wait was almost an hour long and even after, they mixed up our order multiple times.

Fantastic food! We stumble on the Saigon Bistro while wandering around Charlottetown. Family run and the kids help with order taking and serving. It's really great. We ordered spring and salad rolls plus Ginger Beef to share...and then ordered more of the ginger beef! It was all delicious! We will definitely come again and highly recommend.

Unintentionally ordered something that wasnt on the menu but the owner didnt even think twice to make our dream happen. Vietnamese sub was delicious! Thanks for making our day

June 21, 2024

A couple of days ago, we had dinner at this restaurant. This owner adjusts his morale based on the tip you leave. Despite this restaurants disingenuous claim that tipping is optional, the owner shouts at anyone who leaves no tip or a tip below his law--his expectations. Here, as I read some reviews from other customers who visited here, leaving 0 and 8% tips is treated the same way-- you will be met with extreme rudeness and shouting, as if you refused to pay for your meal. I left 8% and I got his extremely rude complaints and yelled while I was in the middle of praising his food as delicious. All of this shows clearly that the owner neither cares about his store nor cares about customers feelings of his food. He shows no respect or gratitude for his customers. The only thing he really cares about is how to get more money from us! I dont think tipping is a part of Vietnamese culture, so I dont understand the owners obsessive and extreme reaction to tips. If he can quickly adopt and value tipping so highly, then why hasnt he also adopted to Respect others and be Kind? In conclusion, do not go to this restaurant.

**Also to the other reviews that say we had to write down our order ourselves, have you never been to a Vietnamese restaurant before? They all work like that, the server taking your order is something that doesnt happen in Vietnamese restaurants.** REVIEW: Really friendly owner, he even speaks Cantonese. Its always a happy time to meet someone who is multilingual in Cantonese and Vietnamese, since I feel like were so rare nowadays, we had a good chat and he told me how he learned the language despite not growing up in it. The food was also fairly good, there were bean sprouts and basil leaves given (no limes) on the side for the Pho Dac Biet. However, if Im comparing the other 2 pho places Ive been to so far on PEI, this one is the best, but nothing compares to what I can find back home in Ontario.

I ordered takeout over their stores app. My pho was ready quickly, and ultimately was quite tasty. When I went to pick it up, the staff were friendly, and the food was packaged in a way that kept it warm. If you order on the app, ensure you specify if you need utensils/ a bowl to eat it in. Overall good pho, I would recommend.

December 21, 2023

Waited over an hour and a half and received nothing but a glass of water. Asked the waiter how much longer at the 1 hour mark and he said a couple of minutes. Half an hour later, still no food. The second time I asked the waiter how long our food would be, because I am a diabetic and needed to eat, he went to enquire in the kitchen. Someone came out, showed me the order the waiter had written, and said he couldnt understand his wrIting. They hadnt even started on our order. So we left and went somewhere else. Im not normally the kind of person who walks out in a huff but this was the worst service Ive received at a restaurant in 54 years. Maybe the food is great; I will never find out.

Waiting time too long , took 1hr, rude server , cold food , chicken was too cold inside. Highly not recommend. DO NOT COME!

December 21, 2023

1 hour waiting for foods, when it came out meat was cold, I did complained with the server guy and he brought the food inside put in the microwave. He showed his attitude with our table with no respect at all. Please do not come here, we can t stand their attitude. Really unprofessional. Plus, the next table came after but got the food before us. They finished their food and paid when we were still waiting. Please take my review seriously. Do not come here.

December 21, 2023

This is a terrible restaurant I havent seen before. We wrote the order by ourselves, and the food was still frozen inside. We waited 1 hour for our food. One more serious thing he yelled to our friends she was just a small girl. He told me he worked for a Restaurant for 38 years but his cooking and serving that was beginner. DONT COME THIS RESTAURANT this gonna waste your guys TIME and MONEY.

Wow! Amazingly fresh and delicious with great service! Having moved to the maritimes from the Vancouver area four years ago, we sorely miss the diverse eateries, especially the various Asian cuisines. This, by far, has been the best Vietnamese food we ve had and we ve tried places in Saint John, Moncton and Halifax so far (as well as other places in Charlottetown). Seems like this is a well-kept secret because it s not as busy as it should be considering the calibre of the food. Highly recommend and definitely look forward to returning the next time we visit PEI.

The moment you walk in, youre welcomed with cute art that exemplifies Vietnamese culture. From the Xe Banh Mi painting, to the Vietnamese words on the wall. The restaurants seating arrangements were well spaced and everything was extremely clean. The wonderful aroma of star anise (pho) was floating in the air. My partner and I ordered three things off the menu: ginger beef, pho tai (pho with rare beef), and bun bo hue (hue style spicy noodle soup). The ginger beef was absolutely phenomenal. Sweet, with a hint of ginger. Not too overwhelming, and sauced just enough to give flavour to the onions and peppers that the beef was cooked with. The pho broth had a wonderful taste. Not too bland (unlike some of the other pho restaurants on the East Coast), but not too overwhelming with star anise (licorice) flavouring either. You can tell that the chef had made pho many times in their lifetime. The pho only comes with a little dipping sauce bowl containing hoisin and Sriracha. Not what Im used to (Im used to bean sprouts, herbs, limes, etc), but it doesnt really matter, as the broth was well worth just eating plain. The bun bo hue was also very flavourful and full of meat! The soup base was not too spicy, and had the soft lemongrass taste. Again, not too overwhelming, but not bland either. The family that runs the restaurant was also extremely friendly. They were very quick with taking orders, filling water, etc, and they also shared their stories of coming over to Canada! I will definitely come eat here again the next time Im on the island. Thanks for a great experience, Saigon Bistro! IG: @albert.eatstein

Why this place isnt lined up out the door, I dont understand. Definitely on our list of places to come back to. You gotta eat here. Come meet the friendly family owners.

Visiting Charlottetown from BC, and was looking for something light. I had the pho with beef brisket, and it was really good with delicious broth. We also ordered the black pepper beef with rice, that is a dish is come back for if I lived locally! There was a lot of beef and not a dish youd leave hungry with. The service was great as well, run by genuinely nice people who you cant help like... They have only been around for a few months and I hope they do really well!

Owner is new arrival from Vietnam, hence the food is very authentic and great taste. Very lovely and friendly family. When you eat there, it feels like eating at home. Good food and great experience.

One of my party order the spicy beef soup, but the meat was green. I ordered pork, and the waiter came back a few minutes later to say they were out of that meat. Many of the items on the menu are only available on certain days.

I m surprised the ratings aren t as high as they are. The family that runs this place is very friendly, however the bo bun hue was bland and lacked depth. This spring rolls and salad bowls were good though, which is why am giving the review three stars instead of two.
