District Saigon

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.

The food was decent. The service was nice!

amazing food. great service. i’m coming back

Amazing pho when you just need soup! 2 dishes 1 app under $50

Judge this book by its cover. Looks amazing and well detailed so I was worried the food wouldn’t live up to the vibe or friendly service. I was pleasantly surprised how great our meal was. Will definitely be back because we saw some items that other folks were ordering that we need to get.

Food, drinks, ambience ... ALL PHENOMENAL. My FAVORITE Vietnamese restaurant in Astoria. Highly recommended as I have yet to be disappointed by any of their dishes or drinks.

Solid local Vietnamese restaurant. Perfect for a stay local night. Bonus point for bone marrow pho. It’s really hard to find places with this option.

This was my second time having PHO so I was excited, and they did not disappoint. The broth was so good. the meat was so good. But what surprised me were the TARO fries. Loved it. The chicken wings unfortunately weren’t really that great. The banh mi sandwich was delicious, and that says a lot as I’m not a sweet and savory person Our server was a sweetheart and made the experience so much better

Had an amazing dinner here. The food was delicious and the staff was so attentive and kind. Also the atmosphere was really great. This place is truly a gem in the neighborhood and you shouldn’t sleep on having a drink at their bar or a meal. It also seemed like a fine place to sit at the bar and have a bite and a cocktail alone which can be hard to come by!
