Restaurant Review - Le Saigon Bistro (Castro Valley)

Le Saigon Bistro
2652 Castro Valley Blvd
Castro Valley, CA 94546


Bo Luc Lac - Beef cubes stir fried over high heat. A bit on a sweet side for me. Doesn't taste like it's supposed to.


Bo Tai Chanh - beef carpaccio. Tasted like this was premade in a jar. All we could taste was lemon.


Ca Kho To - Braised Cat fish. The sauce was very good however the fish didn't have flavor, leads us to belief that the fish wasn't really braised but boiled and then briefly cooked in the sauce.


Bottom Line: The interior is very nice however seeing the owner's family and kids sitting at the bar raising ruckus ruined the atmosphere for us. It was hard to tell who worked there because some folks were dressed nicely while others were dressed in jeans and flip-flops. I would have given this place another chance if the food was decent but seeing how the food was lacking and a bit over-priced, I will have to skip this restaurant unless somebody can recommend a good dish here.
