Saigon Bistro

By far the best restaurant in Seguin. Try the Saigon mixed fried rice - swap the chicken for shrimp & thank me later!

Other patrons were correct, the walls and tables could use a scrubbing and the ladies' toilet is a bit of a carnival ride.We arrived at 4pm to meet my parents and the place was maybe a third full, happy with noise. It took a while to have anyone acknowledge our arrival and then another wait to have our drink orders taken and menus brought. Another wait for food orders and that's when three of us found out they were out of bread so the banh mi selections were not going to happen and we needed a minute to recalibrate.Ma and I noticed different things about the new menus. She felt they had a better (she even called it fancy) explanation of the dishes; I noticed the menu had been Americanized in a manner one might expect for Seguin. For instance, you won't find the words bánh mì anymore, they're just listed as sandwiches.There was only one employee on the floor tending all the tables, and she was doing her best.The food's still very tasty when it does arrive, which is why I'm still OK with it despite a couple rough spots. Mr R had his usual bun (giant bowl of rice vermicelli) which looked beautiful. Both my Midwestern parents chose chicken fried rice when their chicken sandwiches were unavailable--only ma took her leftovers home but they both said it was tasty and truth is the servings were sizeable.I went rogue and chose beef skewers off the appetizer menu, and they were delicious! The skewers came nicely presented and impressively charred. The beef was sliced thin and ribboned on skewers--since I wasn't sharing with anyone I ate them right off the stick and only made a bit of a mess on my shirt. The sauce was perfect and every bite tender excepting pleasurable little crispy edges here and there.Two guys came out front for a smoke break when a lull arrived and the remaining tables (including us) had been served. I assume it was the owner who came to check on everyone and apologize for the unusual wait as they were understaffed.I snuck Mr R a fifty which paid for most of the tab at the counter. When Mr R added the remainder and said to keep the change, he said the owner handed the entire tip straight to the waitress which was nice to hear.Seguin's not a town of adventurous eating so I hope this place keeps doing what it needs to survive and the kitchen keeps serving up the good stuff. If next time it's won back a star or two, I'll be thrilled to bits.

So Mrs. R and myself were meeting her parents for dinner and decided on Vietnamese. As usual, when I get Vietnamese and there's a broad selection, I opted for the bún, or, as is listed on the menu, vermicelli with grilled meat. I went with the pork and an egg roll on top.As usual, the bún with sauce was delicious, with noodles, grilled meat, vermicelli, and veggies blending in a wonderful combination. The portions were huge and filling, but also tasty and well done: they don't sacrifice quality for quantity.Only issue is that the service was a bit slow, but that's because they're currently short staffed. There was all of one person serving everyone, and I can only imagine how short-staffed the kitchen was. Even so, the manager came out to talk to people at individual tables to ask how their food was.Mrs. R. got a beef skewer from the appetizers, and my in-laws got the chicken fried rice, whose portions were so generous that they couldn't finish.All told, outstanding food, and I hope that they manage to hire some new help soon so that service is a bit quicker.

got takeout pho from ordering online, came home and a couple slices of the beef was raw. would be okay if i was in the shop but the broth they sent with my order was definitely nowhere near hot enough to cook it. additionally i ordered the pork and shrimp spring rolls which usually turn out to be the fried lumpia style rolls, but here it was the fresh summer roll style which isn't what i was looking for. come here quite often, since around 2018 and i think the quality has been slowly declining since opening. also i got a quarter meatball loli ended up boiling it all together to cook the meat so i don't waste but i was looking forward to just sitting down and eating

Drove 30 mins out the way to order to go and got some Vermicelli noodles asked for extra sauce and no peanuts because of allergies. Drove 30 mins back home just to find out there's peanuts on my food. Very disappointed.

Came here for the first time! I ordered the fried veggie noodles and it was good! The texture and the flavor was good as well!

It was a pleasant surprise to find a Vietnamese restaurant today. I have been craving a good Pho for a while now. This place is very nice and clean, the young ladies were exceptionally courteous and provided us with excellent customer service, and by the way, the food was delicious!

Bad bad service the waitress was white female in early 20's she was extremely rude and mad because I showed up at 8:37pm and left at 9:15 pm the restaurant closes at 9pm she didn't say her name no smile and touching her face all the time not practicing personal hygiene/ a suggestion to the the owner of this restaurant You need to fired her immediately your business DONT need that kind of staff with nasty attitude / Now the food was good, the restaurant it's located in a nice spot unfortunately was empty and now we know the reason why..

Love this place!! The food is fresh & always correct. The owner comes out to welcome you & thanks you for your business. Great food!

Food, service, quality and value are right here! It turned out the owner is the one cooking the food! When he gets time, he comes out to say hi to the guests. Not very common, so a very nice thing to see, as well as the pride he takes in his restaurant!
