First time there. I had the MI Xao Don Do Bien: fried noodles with shrimp, scallops, and squid and a good variety of vegetables in a brown sauce. It was excellent. Even when I finished the large serving, I wished I wasn't so full because I wanted more.

The service was amazing and the food was delicious but I wanna shoutout to our waiter that came out running with our card that WE forgot. Mind you.. this was after we went next door to the thrift shop and browsed for about an hour. He still saw us, flagged us down to return it! 10/10 would recommend. If he sees this. THANK YOU AGAIN!!

Hands down the best chinese and vietnamese restaurant you'll find in the area. Food is always made fresh to order so it can take about 15-25 mins max. I highly recommend the general tso's chicken!

Huge portions! Fresh ingredients. I had the Vietnamese Iced Coffee- delicious! The staff are attentive and skilled at juggling the tables. There are plenty of tables without feeling crushed together. The restaurant is in a strip so there is plenty of parking. Others in my party got the 117 and enjoyed having multiple sauces to add to the bowl to adjust the spice level to their preference.

The cocktails at Saigon are surprisingly delicious and creative! When my friend and I go I always get the expresso martini. Their expresso martini is smooth and creamy. My friend gets the old fashion, that they serve smoky (looks so cool). My go to meal - a beef, carrots, sauce, and rice meal that is now only seasonal is the perfect meal for a rainy day.

Saigon in Belleville is my favorite restaurant. If you like Chinese or Vietnamese food, you have to check this place out! I've taken everyone I know there at least once, and they've all loved it! I've moved around the United States quite a bit, and always try all the pho I can find, wherever I live. I've had pho in San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, Nashville, Charlotte, Denver... I love Asian food in general, but Pho is my perfect meal, and I've had hundreds of bowls in my life. St. Louis is a fun city for a pho lover, it's crazy how many places you can get it. I've had some incredible pho at a couple of places there, but none of them are any better than here. The first time I ever went to Saigon, I almost didn't go in! The strip mall kinda weirded me out. But I did, and when I got inside I found myself in a very clean, nostalgic little Asian restaurant. This is clearly a place that's been taken care of over the years. And the food!!!!!! Saigon's pho completely rivals "the best pho in St. Louis" - places like Nudo House, Mai Lee, Truc Lam, Saigon cafe on Euclid, Pho Long, Dao Tien, and the latest one I tried, DD Mau in Webster Groves. If this place was in St. louis, they would give some of those other places a run for their money. I do enjoy the pho at most of these places, but since discovering the Pho Dac Biet here at Saigon, I feel like my search for the perfect bowl is over. They bring you a huge, comforting bowl of the most deliciously prepared pho. The broth is seasoned to perfection, and tastes like it's been simmering away for hours. There's a perfect amount of noodles and meat in every bowl, and (not pictured) it is served with a very generous amount of fresh pho toppings: jalapeño, basil, cilantro, bean sprouts, and slices of lime. They also bring bottles of hoisin and SRIRACHA (!!) without even being asked. Because I've taken everyone I know here, I've been able to sample things from both the Chinese and Vietnamese menus, and I've been very impressed by every single one: - The spring rolls are absolutely delicious. They're full of fresh, crunchy veggies, and served with THE BEST peanut sauce I've ever had. I dream about this sauce! - The crab rangoon look standard, but taste fresh and exactly the way you want them to taste. An elevated version of a classic. - The beef and broccoli was a huge favorite of the last friend I brought with me. They also raved (for days) about the Bo Lui (beef on a stick,) an appetizer from the Vietnamese menu, which ended up being their favorite part of the meal. This is the longest review I've written for anything in my life, but I love everything about this place. I am in no way affiliated with this restaurant, I'm just a regular girl who lives in Edwardsville and loves good food! Saigon just happens to cross off every single thing I look for, and I don't mind driving an hour each way to get there. I'm not sure this place gets the kind of recognition and credit they deserve. Saigon, chef Ly, thank you for proving such a lovely experience. I look forward to eating your delicious food for many years to come! Please keep pho on the menu!!

Don't sleep on this delicious Vietnamese and Chinese restaurant in Belleville with its outstanding dishes! It is quietly located in Lake Christine Center in Belleville but don't let the unassuming façade fool you, this locally owned restaurant is worth a visit. I have had their beef pho, which is delish, as well as their beef salad, and a few of their noodle dishes on the various occasions I have visited, and everything is fresh and yummy. The restaurant is small but clean, the service is great, and I love to visit when I am in the area.
