Topping the list is New Saigon. Located at 333 Union Ave., Suite 201 in Oleander Sunset, the Vietnamese spot is the highest-rated inexpensive Vietnamese restaurant in Bakersfield, boasting 4.5 stars out of 166 reviews on Yelp. 

Jaay B. noted, "The broth is the best of any pho restaurant in town. All others have way too much fish sauce. This place is just perfect. I probably come here around two times a week to get the rare steak pho, tofu pho soup, fried rice, egg rolls, or fried dumplings, and they're all amazing."

2. Soy & Spice Cafe

Hani G. noted, "I ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp and it was good and as spicy as I ordered. I also had the boba tar tea. Everything met my expectations. The service is quick and their prices on the mid-range side."
