Saigón Noodle Bar

Saigon Noodle Bar offers a solid dining experience with a focus on flavorful Vietnamese cuisine. While the atmosphere and service may not be standout features, the food itself is the star of the show and makes this spot worth a visit. **Food: 4.5/5** We started with the spring rolls and grapeleaf rolls, both of which were delicious and packed with flavor. The freshness of the ingredients was evident, and they set a great tone for the meal. For the main course, we ordered the Wide Rice Noodles with beef. The portion size was generous—easily suitable for two people—and the dish was incredibly flavorful. The beef was tender and high-quality, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. To accompany our meal, we had two lemonades, which were absolutely superb—refreshing, tangy, and the perfect complement to the meal. **Service: 2/5** The service was mediocre. While the staff wasn’t unfriendly, they lacked attentiveness and seemed somewhat disengaged. It wasn’t a dealbreaker, but it did detract slightly from the overall experience. **Atmosphere: 1/5** The atmosphere at Saigon Noodle Bar is nothing to write home about. The decor is simple and unremarkable, and the space lacks the vibrant or cozy vibe that could elevate the dining experience. That said, the focus here is clearly on the food, which shines despite the lackluster ambiance. **Value for Money: 4/5** The prices are reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes and the quality of the food. The meal felt like good value for what we received, particularly the Wide Rice Noodles with beef, which could easily satisfy two people. **Overall: 4/5** Saigon Noodle Bar is a great choice for anyone craving flavorful Vietnamese food in a no-frills setting. While the service and atmosphere leave room for improvement, the quality and taste of the dishes more than make up for it. If you’re looking for a satisfying meal with bold flavors, this spot is definitely worth a try. Would I return? Absolutely—for the food alone!

Thai Argentinan Vietnamese restaurant was an interesting take on Vietnamese food. I ordered the bún thịt nướng and the bò lực lắc. None of it tastes like what I am used to in southern Vietnam and Southern California, USA. But it was still yummy for it's take on it. For BLL, it was really soggy, saucy, and the food tasted "heavy". For BTN, there was no fish sauce on the side, it was usually in the bowl already. The thit nuong was delicious. The veggies are fresh. Something about the vermicelli noodles wasn't soft enough for my liking, but overall, it's a great dish. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was nice. My limonade drink was nothing I ever tasted and was tasty. Next time, I'll try the phở.

Pho is one of my favorite meals and I was very disappointed in this place. The broth was overpowered with five spice and not authentic to traditional pho beef broth. My biggest complaint was the noodles. They were very thick and a lot of them were stuck together. It was challenging to separate the noodles so I’ll get a tough bite at times. Prices were very overpriced too. One of the most expensive bowl of pho I’ve gotten and also one of the least authentic one I’ve had.

This place is delicious!! We found it kinda by chance for lunch and were very pleasantly surprised. Great service, super tasty food, and a really nice place to eat and relax on a busy travel day. Thank you!

Friendly and funny staff who are very helpful. The restaurant is full of patrons with good bones (lively chats but neither crowded nor too loud). The food was amazing. My friend is vegetarian and we loved the tofu fried rolls and fried noodles. I tried the rolls and they have a lovely texture (fresh lettuce mixed with the fried skin and tofu) with a good balance of taste, and my noodles with prawns were delicious - great "wok hay" and lovely portioned. Would recommend :)

Overpriced for a very ordinary noodle. I ordered the vegan rice thin noodle with tofu. The food was ok (at the best) but nothing special. The service was fast and good, but the food doesn’t match the price.

Definitely overpriced. Paid $23 for a medium sized bowl of pho, more expensive than in the United States. With this price, I would recommend a nice steak meal elsewhere.

I was looking forward to having some Asian food before my flight back to London. I found my trip to Saigon Noodle Bar to be disappointing. The pork spring roll was probably the best dish from my experience. The summer roll felt dry and lacked flavour, even with the peanut sauce. It’s probably my fault for not ordering the pho but since I was noodled-out from eating so much pasta during my trip I opted for the Saigon Bowl (rice dish). I found that some of the ingredients (the pineapple and cherry tomatoes) weren’t fully ripe which put me off the whole dish, otherwise it was well seasoned. The service also felt a bit disorganised with no cutlery tins for some of the tables and no small plates for our starters. The staff were responsive to ours and the other patron’s requests but we felt the whole experience could have been tidier. If I’m back in Buenos Aires I would try the pho and give them a second chance but ultimately the visit was still disappointing.
