Saigon

A good stop for Asian meal. They don't just Vietnamese as its name. The noodle was plain with only one type of meat, but the fresh shrimp salad roll with peanut sauce was quite impressive. There is a dedicated parking of the restaurant so you wouldn't need to pay the curbside parking.

We were accommodated for a quick dinner due to no booking - PEDRO, our waiter was amazing! He took charge of situation. He made great suggestions and ensured our food arrived timeously! He even brought water to the table without us asking a special detail to a rushed meal. We will definitely return with a booking to enjoy the delicious food at leisure . The Crispy ginger fish was a showstopper! Thank you Pedro and Saigon

The atmosphere of the restaurant was great. As soon as we entered, the mountain view through the large window was absolutely stunning. We ordered a variety of dishes. The salmon sushi was disappointing as it didn’t taste good, and it seemed like they didn’t know how to prepare the sushi rice properly. The noodles in the pho were all broken, making us wonder if they were intentionally cut or if broken pieces were used. Fortunately, the food overall was quite delicious.

Saigon is a journey through Asian flavors without leaving Cape Town. The ambiance is cozy, the service impeccable, and the food authentic, balancing tradition and sophistication. Each dish offers a rich sensory experience, with well-crafted spices and meticulous presentation. A must-visit for lovers of Asian cuisine. Highly recommended!

Before the food arrived: So nice I did it twice After the food arrived: Not nice Two weeks ago I went to Saigon with my best friend and the food was good. Tonight we went again and it was not good. I showed the photo from last time to the waiter upon ordering it and said "Please make it the same way". They really didn't. Consistency is KEY and they FAILED. 1. My rainbow wok noodles didn't have broccoli or green beans. Not good. 2. There was no topping of whatever that is or sprouts. Not good. 3. The portion was smaller. Not good. 4. The basil beef chilli initially was cold and tiny. I wish I took a photo before but was less than half the next portion so just imagine it. Terrible. The manager said they didn't have broccoli after I complained and said Sundays they run out of stock but they should have said upon order and given me options of other vegetables instead of charging R160 for noodles, tofu and cabbage with spring onion. They remade the beef dish but R185 for such a small portion is INSANE. The flavour of the wok: Different to the previous time and one-dimensional The flavour of the beef: Sauce not coated evenly. Beef slightly overcooked but not dry. Not what is expected at Saigon and NOT Saigon standard. I don't wish to return and I have been craving this meal ever since and even defended the price before. We ordered two glasses of Sauv Blanc (R65 each) and there was no offer of not charging for the wine because of the food mishaps. Took half of our food as takeaways and paid R575 including tip and we left.

Food always great here, but the broth of the pho today could’ve been more clarified. I will say, the extraction fans in the kitchen could do with maintenance. Every time we come the smoke tends to seep onto the floor and you’re left in a coughing fit.

A meal at Saigon is always delicious. I always try something new for a starter but one main dish keeps bringing me back! The service is great - and quite speedy. I tried sushi here for the first time - it was fresh and the portions were generous, as they are for all the other dishes. I can't wait to go back for the ginger prawns again

One of the best Asian restaurants in Cape Town!! Make reservations as the place gets busy. The food is very authentic and delicious and the quantity is very generous. Especially the individual serving of soup comes in a bowl that is good enough for two people. We had miso soup, chicken with basil and chicken in yellow curry and vegetables in yellow curry. All delicious! Service may be a little slow…but this is what we noticed in general in Cape town. Highly recommend this place.
