“ This place is absolutely amazing. They elevated Vietnamese dishes with gorgeous food presentations and are super delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. I had the duck garlic noodle and it was perfectly seasoned, my friend had the steak and egg with bread and that was also well cooked and tasty. The appetizers are the stars though, Calamari with salted egg yolk aioli was unique and cooked to perfection. The only criticism for the place is the narrow tables with little room to wiggle your legs. I highly recommend this place for any occasion. ”

“ My niece and I had been eager to visit this place for a while, and today we finally got the chance. The atmosphere is reminiscent of Saigon, creating a cozy vibe. The service was friendly and attentive. The food presentation and flavors exceeded our expectations—fresh, delicious, and bursting with aroma. The coconut dessert was a perfect balance, not overly sweet or coconut-heavy. We loved our experience and have already recommended this Vietnamese restaurant to friends. Check them out if you are in the area. ”

“ Absolutely fantastic Vietnamese restaurant. I was hesitant because of the price, but the experience was worth it. The restaurant feels like Vietnam, from the vintage scooter to the tile work in the bar. The service was great, a balance of attentive and giving space for conversation. But the best part, far and away, is the food. Everything we ate was fresh, perfectly cooked, beautifully plated, and tasted delicious. ”

“ We have been a fan of Pho Ha, so we had to check out this place. We had high expectations, and Ong Lam Bistro delivered. Food: As someone born and raised in Saigon, the authenticity of the food here struck a chord. Each dish is meticulously crafted with the right blend of veggies and herbs. Notably, Ong Lam stands out for offering culantro (not cilantro) to accompany their pho, a unique touch. The Banh khot appetizer was well-balanced, and if you crave Vietnamese cuisine the way it's enjoyed in Vietnam, this is the place. Our order included Banh Khot for starters, mi Vit Nuong Chao, and Supreme Pho – all exemplifying the finesse of Vietnamese cuisine. The Hoi An frizz drink was also delightful. It's a nostalgic journey back to the flavors of my upbringing. Service: The staff were friendly, greeting us with smiles upon entry. Our waiter went beyond expectations, guiding us through the menu, understanding our preferences, and making thoughtful recommendations. As dishes arrived, he ensured our dining space remained comfortable. This personalized touch elevated our anniversary celebration. Service was prompt, even during a Saturday evening at 5:45 pm – drinks in 5 minutes and food in 10. Parking: Convenient parking is available in the building's garage, offering two hours of free parking. Electric car chargers add to the convenience, making it a hassle-free experience. Atmosphere: We love the vibe here; all the details are carefully curated, offering a distinctly Saigon ambiance. It’s a delightful spot for both date nights and friend gatherings. Minor feedback: Timing of the main dishes could enhance the experience if served after we finish the appetizer. Overall, our experience at Ong Lam Bistro was nothing short of fantastic, ensuring a return visit. We're eager to explore their new sister restaurant, Xom, soon. ”

“ It's a little pricey for Vietnamese food, but it's extremely well executed. Every bite was filled with flavor. The dessert with the fresh fruits and the coconut ice cream was amazing. ”
