Staff very warm friendly and helpful. Food absolutely delicious with a wide range of both vegan and vegetarian options (I got the marinated tofu and was one of the best vegan meals I’ve had). I would highly recommend.
Amazing Thai food, bistro Saigon is my favourite place to eat in ilkley. Friendly staff that make the dinning experience exceptional, 10 out of 10 from me all round.
An excellent Vietnamese restaurant in Ilkley. Great food, friendly atmosphere and served by an excellent staff.A great night out for the few or for the many.
The welcome and service were great. The menu has a good amount of choice with Gluten Free options that suited two of our party. The food was delicious. Highly recommended for a quick lunch of more leasurely dinner.
We had a great lunch at Bistro Saigon and it was fantastic value, two meals for £15. Excellent food, service and a lovely atmosphere .
Great food, freshly prepared, lovely pace of service and friendly staff - we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely recommend this restaurant- we will be back!
As always, the food is delicious. Freshly cooked with quality ingredients. The helpings are generous and the service very friendly and professional. We will be back again soon.
Have been to Bistro Saigon on numerous occasions and have never had anything but a great night. The food is amazing and really good service
Another fabulous meal at BS. I really like this place as they serve excellent food at reasonable prices. Plus, it’s the kind of fare that I wouldn’t have a clue how to cook myself. The best restaurant in Ilkley - by far.
Amazing food but having booked for 8.45 and not seated until 9.10 - then no food until 9.45, bit disappointed. Staff were lovely but really shouldn’t take so many bookings if they can’t be managed in a realistic timescale.
We went on a Friday night, it was very busy and the service was slow. The food was good The staff were young and inexperienced
Excellent food but service a little slow on this occasion although it was a busy Saturday night. Have eaten here several times now and the food is always amazing.
Service was really slow, 1 hour for starter to arrive and another for the main course. Rice was way over cooked and was more like pudding rice, all food was really greasy. When we were asked if everything was ok, we explained the above and the server said that the microwave must be on the blink and they’d inform the chef of the issues when they weren’t busy.
Nice atmosphere and gorgeous food. Staff were happy and smiley
When we turned up you get a great welcome the waitress was very attentive the first course was fantastic full of flavour and the main was wonderful can’t fault it what a great place will definitely go back 👍❤️
Great setting, friendly service and food was brilliant as always
Excellent food and a wide selection to choose from, very good efficient and friendly service and great atmosphere. Tables are a little cramped for me.
My friends and I had a lovely evening at Bistro Saigon. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was simply fabulous - unfortunately we had no room for the delicious sounding puddings - we will, therefore, be back! Really lovely restaurant
Unusually poor service on my 5th or 6th visit. It started when we arrived & we’re asked to have a drink at the bar - there were 4 of us and all except me were served their drinks (and all of us got water). I had to ask twice for my g&t and eventually got it when we were at the table. Our waitress was young & inexperienced - I ordered ‘steamed dumplings’ & she asked if I wanted them steamed or fried. Empty glasses & bottles piled up but nobody took them til we asked. And best of all - as she whisked away the dessert plate - do you want your bill? Dumbfounded, we said pardon? She repeated, do you want the bill, or are you just chillin? Great food as ever & worth the wait (it was busy) but the service was bad.
Great ambience, friendly staff, lovely food. Went on a Saturday evening after the cinema, it was very busy so good job we booked. Would definitely visit again.
Food and service excellent. Bistro Saigon opens at 6 and we had a show to watch at 730, so it was a bit of a rush. But, the staff knew this and were very attentive. Four starters and four mains, with drinks (and a well deserved gratuity) cost us £100 - well worth it. It's our second visit, and won't be our last. The restaurant is well placed if you're attending any event in Ilkley, although you'll need to research somewhere to park; there are plenty of unrestricted side streets if you want to avoid paying.
The food was utterly divine. And we ordered lots of it. Staff were very friendly and helpful when making menu choices. The popcorn chocolate bomb was super.
On arrival we informed the restaurant that we were in a bit of a rush due to a last minute change in the time of another appointment afterwards. They said that they would mention it to the Chef and we managed to not only have drinks, mixed starter for two and main courses within 40 minutes without compromising quality or service, and still made our appointment afterwards. A+
Bistro Saigon, well it was my 3rd time at this restaurant and I have to say that the food, ambiance and staff are all fantastic. Well worth a visit...
Beautiful food, amazing value and great service! This place is my go to restaurant where you know your in for a treat! If you haven’t been - you need to!
I believe our order was lost as the starters took an incredibly long time to arrive, however we were offered a round of drinks to compensate and the food was amazing as always!
Fabulous food , freshly made which makes it extra nice and the food is consistently good , the service is always good ! And good value
Quite good restaurent for a dinner out. Could have more ethnic vibe if they could. Overall recommended. Parking is a bit of a tricky so if you are not driving you will be fine.
We enjoyed the meal very much and the atmosphere was good. We have used the restaurant a number of times before and will return again.
Just gorgeous food, the platter starter was particularly good and all with stand out service; friendly with being overbearing. We were recommending to friends before we’d left the restaurant.
Enjoyed the food, and the staff were very nice. The restaurant is too light, and lacks a bit of atmosphere Will probably give it another try
Really great service, couldn’t have asked for better and lovely food, A bit pricey for a mid week evening meal out for me, from previous visits lunchtime offers excellent value though.
As always, excellent food! Lots of great options to choose from, including vegetarian options which is great for us. The staff are incredibly friendly. We always enjoy visiting Bistro Saigon.
Another fantastic meal here Food absolutely delicious and fabulous staff My favourite restaurant 😀 will definitely be returning again soon If u haven’t been here to eat it’s a must .
Another fantastic meal at Bistro Saigon. We return time and again and have never been disappointed. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Lovely setting, friendly staff and delicious food!
We enjoyed the food very much it was very good. Unfortunately they were short staffed and we had to wait much longer before getting served.
Wonderful food as always. Staff really friendly, and the whole experience is great. The pork belly is fantastic as is the puddings. It really is an authentic Vietnamese experience
A great restaurant that offers a wide variety of authentic Vietnamese food. I have been several times both in the evenings and for lunch time takeaways and it is consistently good.
Good food and service, No more to say. No more to say. No more to say. No more to say. No more to say. No more to say
Great food and friendly service. The Vietnamese pancake was delicious. The wine was lovely too. Tables too close together, but other than that it was highly enjoyable.
Excellent. We had a great time. the food was brilliant, the staff were friendly and attentive and the restaurant has a great location and very welcoming atmosphere. highly recommended, we will definitely be coming back!
Having been away for 2 weeks we went here straight from the airport to get our bistro fix and as always it never disappoints
Excellent food and a wide choice on the menu. Recommend the five choice starter for two and a lovely selection of sweets to finish off. Highly recommended
Table downstairs at the back, dark and noisy. No atmosphere at all. Food was very underwhelming! Starters tasted unusual. Main courses very bland... Will not be returning.
Great meals but lengthy wait between starters and main course. However It was pretty full. Superb presentation of meals and really good sized portions. Can fully recommend the mixed starter for 2 or more persons. Chose five starters from around 20 available and it was brilliant. For mains we can recommend the sea bass in mango, duck and belly pork dishes. All were superb choices.
Good food, good service, lovely atmosphere. Good choice of vegetarian food too. Went there twice in one week whilst on holiday. Will definitely go there again when holidaying in the area.
Food excellent. Starters of summer rolls and crispy veg very good - only issue was some of the veg stuck together with the batter. Aromatic belly pork to die for. Staff efficient and friendly.
Super tasty food and staff that were cheerful and helpful. Recommend the spring rolls to start with and the sea bass main. Wash it down with the recommended wine
Great food as always. Too much possibly on the main course, but then maybe we shouldn't have had so many starters. Great service, enthusiastic staff. We like to go to Bistro Saigon as a treat.
After booking online our table was ready when we arrived. Staff were pleasant and helpful at all times dishes were explained and were all excellent. We would definitely go again. Keep an eye on other diners dishes for ideas next time. You can pay contactless and tips at your discretion. Park in the big car park which is free after 6pm
