Bistro Saigon

Absolutely beautiful food, I have heard fantastic comments for years and I'm so delighted that I have now been, and certainly wasn't disappointed and will definitely go again. Although the restaurant was a bit chilly for my liking, the staff were very friendly and helpful

We had a fantastic lunch, which was tasty and well presented. Both the beef and papaya and the squid starters were delicious. The pork and prawn pho was very delicately flavoured. Staff were Pleasant and helpful. We weren't drinking but they refilled our carafe of iced water without our asking.

Great food. Lovely staff. Definitely going back. Only disappointment was tried to increase table booking from 4 to 5 to be told it couldnt be done as fully booked and that they would let me know if it became possible however heard nothing and arrived to find that we were sat at a table for 6 and and restaurant was not packed. However wont stop me coming again

The atmosphere and service fabulous - the food was absolutely fab too - presented beautifully, piping hot and just delicious - will definitely visit again

The food was delicious and it was served in a wonderfully relaxed environment. All the food was cooked fresh and as a result was very tasty. We will be back!

Excellent food and fantastic service, can't be faulted. Highly recommend.

Excellent lunch with friends. Good service. Definitely go again. Spicy,tasty food without being too hot. Very fresh crisp salad and a fairly reasonable wine list.

We were there for lunch and chose the 2 courses for £15, there was a brilliant menu selection. Really tasty, good, refreshing food in a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. We would be happy to try more of the dishes here.

Sat downstairs away from most of the diners. Starters were very tasty but some of the mains were funny tasting, too much ginger used And made it taste of chemicals

Haven't been for a year or so. but still beautiful food and good service. Great value 3 course lunch at £20 per head. The cheapest Malbec is excellent.

Great joint! Delicious food, pleasant atmosphere and very nice staff. Will definitely go again & again😄 Will have to repeat that as need 25words....just go and you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience - the food was faultless, we all ate different dishes and all loved them - delicious yet healthy and fresh. Good wine list, decent pricing for the quality.

Food was excellent staff were polite and helpful. Reasonable priced only criticism is they forgot to ask if we would like a sweet. Definitely recommend.

Lovely Saturday lunch for family of five. Good value menu with plenty of choice so everyone was happy with their meal. Staff friendly and helpful.

Excellent food and service! The standard remains high and the helpings are generous. It was a good evening enjoyed by my daughter and myself. The wine was of a good standard too.

The food was lovely and so we're the staff. Nice atmosphere and layout would definitely visit again and I will be recommending to my friends

super food with lots of choices.service good despite a very full restaurant. staff very helpful. the ambience is good one of our favourite restaurants which never disapoints

We came with friends who have been to Vietnam and they said it's the best Vietnamese restaurant they found in Britain so far well worth a visit

We had an excellent experience with our friends - the food being very tasty and the staff friendly and helpful. Well worth the visit and it won't be the last!

The atmosphere was pleasant, the food was excellent, and the service was very good . We Loved it. Will definitely go back after this first experience.

Excellent food , the yellow curry is mild for those who like that, the red is a bit fiery and very tasty. The chiili beef and the belly pork went down well. The house white was also well received. Attentive, but not overly so staff. We'll definitely be coming back.

Beautiful freshly cooked food. Loved it, definately going again. The staff were very efficient and friendly. We went to Vietnam last year so it was great to have authentic food again.

This restaurant is fantastic. The service is incredibly friendly and efficient. I highly recommend the starter platter and the desserts were fabulous. The prawn toast is to die for and my mouth is watering thinking about it

Delicious meal (loved the starter platter and green curry as well as our chocolate desserts), nice surroundings and attentive staff - a really lovely evening.

Very busy little restaurant. Really impressed with the food, all hand made and very tasty. Very reasonably priced and the staff were friendly and engaging.

Great food but service let it down a bit. The restaurant was full but we were served by a different waiting staff each time and it was slow.

Food was lovely but we ordered a bottle of white wine and it wasn't chilled in the slightest. The waiter opened it without checking and didn't replace it with a cold bottle when we commented. He brought us some ice instead. Not great in my opinion. The food was great though!

A pleasant evening. Needed a nudge to come and get drinks ordered but an overall good evening again so would recommend the restaurant to anyone

Wonderful service, great meal. Brilliant that gluten-free and milk-free options were available. In fact, the menu was mainly gf and mf, and allergens were clearly marked. A great place to eat especially for my coeliac, milk intolerant wife. Definitely be visiting again!

I have been here a few times now and always had Amazing friendly service, fantastic food and would highly recommend!! Will definitely be back ☺️

Lots of choice on the menu for dairy or gluten free and vegetarian meals. We ate starter and mains which were tasty and well presented. We can see why it is one of the more popular places to eat in Ilkley and booking is essential. There did seem to be a large number of staff (five) talking behind the bar whilst two others were busy waiting on tables.

Amazing service, food and atmosphere! Definitely worth a visit, we will be going back very soon! The green curry was phenomenal, really really authentic, highly recommended!

It is a fantastic place with wonderful meals - all freshly made and beautifully presented. We went to celebrate my son`s 50th Birthday with his wife and family, sister, partner and part of her family plus my hubby and me (Mum and Grandma). The staff always make us welcome, and are especially kind to me as I am disabled and they help me enter the restaurant in my wheelchair. There is plenty of choice - even for those who are vegetarian - from their extensive menu and all is delicious too. A must for those who are wanting something a `little bit different and exciting` for lunch or evening meal, when visiting ILKLEY. Good luck to this restaurant for a very bright future.

Fabulous pho, good service and nice atmosphere - plus the chef recommended wine was perfect. we had a very enjoyable evening and will be back, thank you

The food was lovely as ever. Just no one seemed to be particularly the person overseeing. No problems with the service. Got what we needed when we needed it. Just no connection with anyone waiter/was or manager. Oh and too bright!!!! The lights seriously needed dimming down. Created a cold not cozy intimate atmosphere that you want on an evening out.

Simply one of the best eating establishments in the lower dales....great Vietnamese food, easy access in a delightful town location, charming, helpful staff and a very pleasurable experience....top drawer.

Consistent quality food and service. Got to go to place, our favourite restaurant locally. Always recommend it to friends and always gets a thumbs up.

Incredible food makes it worth the trip! Service needs improvement - we had 4 different waitresses over the course of the evening making it inconsistent and pretty slow.

The whole experience was unhurried which made for a relaxing and easy evening. The restaurant was fairly busy and had a good atmosphere but there was plenty of room between tables. The food was fantastic, really flavoursome, and the portion sizes were very generous. to the point where, having admired the dessert menu earlier there was no chance of managing anything else after a starter and main course. The service was polite, friendly and with just the right level of attentiveness. We have tried for some weeks to get a table here. Now we can see why it is always so popular! And the prices are very reasonable too.

Great meal, brilliant service, no complaints at all. Really love this restaurant and would highly recommend it to anyone. Loads of choice on the menu so something for everyone.

Bistro Saigon is my all time, favourite restaurant. From the outstanding food, to the service and atmosphere, I cannot go without a month of visiting. This place is a must-go!!

Good, as always! Not much else to say but quando want me to keep typing rubbish until I get over the 25 word minimum etc etc, phew got there at last! Sorry Bistro Saigon.

Excellent food in good surroundings. The menu has enough choice to satisfy most customers, service is friendly. Food is delivered with a sensible waiting time which suggests it is cooked freshly and not microwaved. One of our favourite places to eat out.

Very nice food, there was a good choice. It was busy but there were plenty of staff so the service was excellent. We would definitely go again.

Good quality food and level of service. Tables felt a little cramped and it was difficult to tell who was managing the restaurant on the night Low ceilings at lower ground level made noisy customers and larger parties amplified- difficult to know how to resolve this Could smell toilet disinfectant on entering restaurant Quality of food made up for these minor disappointments- we will return but ask for a ground floor table next time around

Been to the Bistro Saigonseveral times. The food is beautiful. It's freshly cooked to order and is the best we've ever had. The staff are fabulous, friendly and personable and the atmosphere is always lovely and laid back. We enjoy every time we come and my recommendation is the Thai basil squid starter it's absolutely sublime!

The service was patchy and slow. Food was ok but not as good as on previous visits. We arrived at 8.20pm and left at 11.45pm (mix up with our bill). During that time no-one asked if we wanted coffee or dessert. In the end we grabbed a member of staff and asked for a coffee but decided not to bother with dessert, they were mopping the floors by that point. Really disappointing as previous visits have been a great experience.

The restaurant is bright, cheerful and welcoming. Service and food excellent.We were told if we couldn't finish it all a doggy bag could be provided.Highly recommended.

Lovely meal. the restaurant has a great atmosphere and the food is great. We would definitely recommend this place - and we will definitely be back soon!

Our first time here. Lovely food, nice ambience and enerally good service. One waitress appeared to have a large love bite on her neck which was slightly off-putting. Our waiter forgot our dips/sauces that should've come with our starters and only brought them when we'd nearly finished them. Having said that it was a positive experience and I would happily eat there again.
