I knew very little about District Saigon before going and was pleasantly surprised. It's not that often that I find myself in Queens in the middle of a weekday, but there I was, and who doesn't love a midday bánh mì? The staff was great from the moment I walked in. The room is broken into two sections: the front, which has a great booth, a few two tops, and the bar, and the back, which runs down the side of the restaurant and are all along one long banquette. There is no bad seat, but I chose the front as it was lunchtime and I like a brighter room. I had already decided what I was getting before I walked it, but I decided to upgrade and order some spring rolls as they seemed great. They were delicious but a little salty for my palette. That said, I ate all three, so clearly, I got over it. The lime sparking soda, which I learned is made with fresh lime juice, was the perfect accompaniment. The bánh mì was delicious, served on just the right bread with just the right crisp exterior. I ordered the classic, so I was looking forward to the crunchy vegetables, and I was not disappointed. In speaking with my server, this is one of three restaurants in the owner's portfolio. There is another in Hudson Yards and one in Hell's Kitchen, all with different names but a similar menu.

SOO GOOD!! Im still thinking about this place. Their shaken steak and eggs are to die for. Everything was well flavored and delicious. I had the summer rolls, Pork chop over rice, district pho, and the shaken steak eggs. Absolutely loved it. YOU must try the shaken steak and eggs!!!!!

A gastronomical experience that far exceeded my expectations! Came here for weekend brunch, and the food and staff are wonderful. I ordered a brisket pho with tendon (an add on), and the order comes in a gigantic bowl with enough food to feed two people. Although I dined here on a Sunday afternoon, there was no wait. The restaurant also offers a full bar.

the weather was perfect for a bowl of hot pho. Went here for dinner and it didn’t disappoint. I ordered district 22 pho a very generous portion of both meat and noodles. also ordered traditional bahn-mi. It was very fresh and tasted amazing. Service was prompt.

Just try this Vietnamese restaurant which had a good rating. The District Pho is very nice with beef, beef meatballs and a Bone marrow, soup was nice. We had the summer rolls with shrimp and vegi inside, fresh taste. The shaken steak and egg come with rice, my son loves it very much. The Lychee mocktails was a bit sour with lime. Overall experience was great! Easy parking outside with meter parking.

I love this place, from the vibe, their drinks, food, the staffs. I have nothing to complain about. Love to come here, always got my pho, never had a leftover and it was pretty big bowl. Their wood & herb smoked brisket pho was delicious! Archie made delicious drinks, too.

This restaurant's hot stone pho is quite delicious. As shown in the first picture, raw beef and other ingredients are brought to the table along with hot soup. Diners then put these ingredients into the soup themselves, creating the freshest pho, which tastes better than many pho dishes served already prepared. Additionally, their Vietnamese crepe is also very tasty, which is not something every restaurant offers. The Vietnamese coffee and District pho also have authentic flavors, making it worth a visit for those who enjoy traditional Vietnamese cuisine.

The steak and egg was awesome. The taro fries was so good that even I don't eat taro but loved it. And the Thai ice tea also comes with a good size. The environment was clean and comfy, and the prices are reasonable, if you are looking for authentic Vietnamese food, here is the place!

The steak pho at District Saigon was incredible, especially the smoky flavor. This is my second time here, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere was lovely, and the Vietnamese coffee was quite interesting. Overall, a great experience!

An Unforgettable Experience. If you’re craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine that delivers on both flavor and presentation, District Saigon is the place to be. From the moment we walked in, the welcoming ambiance and delightful aromas set the tone for an incredible dining experience. We started with the fried dumplings and spring rolls, both of which were cooked to perfection. The dumplings had a crispy golden exterior and a juicy, flavorful filling that made each bite irresistible. The spring rolls were fresh, light, and paired beautifully with the tangy dipping sauce, adding a vibrant burst of flavor. Next came the fried rice with short ribs, a standout dish. The short ribs were tender and succulent, infused with a rich, savory marinade that elevated the dish. The fried rice itself was perfectly cooked, with just the right balance of seasoning and texture. But the star of the evening was the pho with oxtail. The broth was a masterpiece—rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. The oxtail was fall-off-the-bone tender, adding a luxurious touch to the traditional pho experience. Every spoonful felt like a warm, comforting embrace. District Saigon exceeded all expectations with its exceptional food, attentive service, and inviting atmosphere. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the best of Vietnamese cuisine. We’ll definitely be back for more!
