Saigon Alley Cafe

Great banh mi, just tried the breakfast version and it had the most perfectly fried eggs in it (just the right amount of runny to eat on the go), changed my life forever. Move over bacon and egg rolls BC this shit is insanely good. Started a new job nearby and this place is definitely my new breakfast spot

Have to say the BánhMi was amazing- what was not amazing was the 15-minute wait to get it. If you ordered the Pho you were lucky as they were going out the door ... super quick- People who came 10 minutes after me and ordered anything but a BánhMi had their meal in under 5 minutes

Wonderful fresh breakfast meals, packed with flavour and space. Plus icy Vietnamese coffee. Just what you need to start the day. Yes, it is a "hole in wall" resistant, with limited seating, but when the food is this good, that is just part of thw atmosphere. Highly recommended.

The Pho here is usually fine but today the broth was so salty and oily it was almost inedible. No other flavour apart from salt. Also, the “serve yourself” set up for condiments does not work with the shop’s layout during busy lunchtimes. Pho should automatically come with hoisen, chilli, lime and Thai basil as standard. Also, your staff should be making sure the lid is secure before handing over boiling hot soup to customers and provide a carry bag without being prompted.

This is a Vietnamese restaurant that looks unassuming, almost like a breakfast shop. I tried their Vietnamese beef noodle soup for the first time — the beef was tender, and the broth was light and refreshing. It was simply a taste of heaven 😋. They even have spices you can add yourself! Also,the Vietnamese iced coffee tastes good as well🙂

Nice place for a quick bowl of pho. The feel is very much fast foolish (thin disposable plastic bowls, cheap disposable chopstics etc), and the phone came out super fast. But the chicken pho we had was aromatic and flavorful, and the ingredients were very fresh.

I tried their chicken pho and I quite enjoyed it, broth was thick and slightly sweet. You can add condiments yourself to adjust to your palate accordingly. Was a pleasant surprise. Would want to go back to try their banh mi and their beef pho. The staff were nice and quick to serve the food out.

Sought this place out as the best rated Bahn mi in Brisbane on our recent trip. From our lunchtime visit of a Friday, it’s also a fave spot for local office workers! We had the chicken and beef Bahn mis, and were super impressed by the friendly service and lovely fresh, crusty bread (warmed after being filled, but somehow the salad remains cool and fresh!) Nice work Saigon Alley! Will visit again on our next trip to Bris-Vegas :)

Average banh mi This busy little eatery on Adelaide Street serves all the Vietnamese staples. I stopped by for lunch with some colleagues and had a pork belly banh mi. The salad filling was good but I thought that it could have done with some more pork. To be fair I've been a bit spoiled from eating at all the great banh mi around Brisbane and it was super cheap.

In short, these guys are amazing. Delicious food, exceptionally quick and friendly service, and they handle the lunchtime rush so well. Plus they do a great banh xeo (pancake) which is hard to find. I can't fault them - do yourself a favour and go visit them in your next lunch break.

Average Vietnamese food in CBD. Got the pork chop broken rice but the rice was just regular jasmine rice. Pork chop or fish sauce was a bit salty not balanced. Came with fried egg instead of the egg patty. No pork skin (bi) or scallion oil either.

Fantastic authentic Vietnamese food in Brisbane. It is hard to find a vietnamese pancake (which I love) let alone a great one. This place has it and it is excellent. So is the pho, its wonderful. The service is excellent and very friendly. A great place for lunch

Family run business that remembers your name and cares if you enjoy their food. Always happy to help you understand the menu and how to best experience their dishes. Great breakfast roll with delicious eggs and sliced pork. Dine in for best experience. For lunch try the traditional pancakes or amazing soups, pho and dumplings
