"Located in the University quarter, Saboteur specializes in Vietnamese street food. Although it's not a grab-and-go place, it's still quick and casual, with clusters of small tables, tiny wooden stools, and low-lit booths. The small boxes—literally cardboard—of dishes like simple tofu with salt and pepper and grilled chicken skewers with ajard and peanut sauce are all superb. Bao buns are decent enough; the king prawn with green chilli, coriander, and lime simbal is the standout. The zingy Ca Phile—fried sea bass, chili, pineapple, tamarind, tomato, basil, palm sugar, and fish sauce—is another must-try. A pleasingly casual spot, this is where you can kick your shoes off, slurp noodles, and pull rings off beer cans." - Caroline Eden

The decor is modern with Thai hints and I loved the wooden cased booths that we sat in! The menu is not extensive and this is a bonus as you would have a hard time to choose what you want. Everything is delicious, even the cocktails! The prices are rock bottom for Edinburgh, especially considering the quality and the friendly service.

Not the most authentic asian food, but overall, it still tastes really good. The restaurant was nicely decorated and spacious. Staff were very friendly and the service was fast. Although they gave us one wrong order, they managed to fix it very quickly.

Good Vietnamese spot with a properly priced menu, a good variety of options, and many options for vegetarian and vegan eats. Service was helpful and quick, and food arrived shortly after ordering while it wasn't too busy. Good portion sizes, great spices, fresh veggies. All in all, very pleased!

Staffs are very friendly. Although the foods don't really taste like authentic Thai or Vietnamese, they are quite delectable. With the price and portion size, I would say it's worth a try.

Fantastic food, Service a bit hit or miss. Went twice in three days, first time we got great service from the guy on the day shift then the shift changed and two women came on shift and were visibly disgusted we were in their restaurant. On the second time were haulted at the door with a no under 5's rule by a different guy which one of said women overruled as soon as we said we had ate there two days prior.... Bill was brought over before we had finished our food and again stared at like we were aliens as we left...

I adore this vietnamese restaurant. All the food is delicious but I love their bao buns, all of them. Seems to be getting more popular every day so long gone are the days of just walking in and grabbing a seat.. But is is totally worth it. Let them surprise you!
