Beef Pho!
Puria F.

Gooooodmorning Vietnam was yelled on the air by R. Williams , and Hello Saigon Saigon should be yelled by us all! In my opinion this place is just that good! Lets get some, imho, less important things out of the way before I attest for what is really important, that being the food! The Saigon Saigon is a nicely decorated, well designed and spacious place yielding to a great ambiance that together with prompt, professional, friendly and capable service ensures your dinning experience to be nothing but good. Now lets move on to what makes the entire experience great which is the food. I am not a fan of Pho, but this is the place for you Pho lovers as I find the broth to be the best I had outside Vietnam. You still get the chance to flavor your Pho according to your taste but right out of the kitchen it is great. Don't get me wrong, I do love fried things, but at Saigon Saigon the freshly made, wraps or rolls in rice papers are the way to go, however the well balanced sourness of the Grilled tumeric white fish makes it another worthy contender. Lotus root salad with prawn and beef is another starter I would highly recommend. But if you looking to share why not try a meal really for two and get the char grilled prawn meat wrapped on sugar cane, juicy and aromatic. Seriously well balanced, well seasoned, slightly sweetened by coconut beef on fire is what will make you come back to this place again and again and again. But when and if you ever get tired of it you can always rely on duck breast with pineapple & green pepper in tamarind sauce or Sweet & sour battered snapper with green peppers. In regards of noodles I found the fried ones be less great but this is only due the fact that they go somewhat soggy laying in the sauces at the end. But don't worry portion-wise the size is great so getting to the end of your plate will take some time and usually you are full by then. The fat rice noodle dishes are my all time favorites, there is just something heavenly with fat noodles and at Saigon Saigon they are cooked to perfection and al dente. Dinner for two, with this level of quality and taste, anywhere between 40 to 60 depending on what you choose as to drink including the service charge of 12.5% is in my book a find. And considering the fact that I haven't even yet mention the generous, tasty and playful Steamboats, or as some call it Vietnamese fondue, for around £20 to gather around and enjoy as couples makes it hard not to say hello to Saigon Saigon again and gain and again!

We like it here, elegant and ideal for an intimate meal for two. An extensive menu allows you to choose carefully whilst taking in the wonderful ambience and charm of this place with little oils burning candles glowing in the otherwise dim lighting add to the mood. When your food arrives it is very well presented and matches the décor in terms of attention to detail and a wiliness to please. Great attention to detail is therefore the key to this restaurant along with an authentique and romantic atmosphere and the food is shown as much care as do the excellent waiting staff. If you are looking to impress, order a taxi to take you there, take a small present as a token of your love and make the most of what is a wonderful place for couples.

Interior of Saigon Saigon

Truly blissful Vietnamese food. Not the cheapest, but clearly excellent quality, as the crowds will attest. Seriously, book ahead and request a table against a wall, away from the bustling 'highways' with diners and waiting staff whizzing by. I've never had better green papaya salad. At around £8.50, it had bloody better be good as a starter, and it is. Then go for the seafood soup which is astonishingly good, and I also like the beef in coconut hot pot thing. Very easy to spend £30 a head just on food here. Really fresh and fantastic, with a lovely dark wood ambience.

Authentic Vietnamese food with lovely decoration, we had a great time there! It's £40 for 2, w ordered two starters, 2 main and fried rice. 12.5% service fee included. Really impressive food! The Pho is many times better than the chain restaurant Pho, and cheaper! The starters are my favorites (fried spring rolls and meetballs, which go perfectly well with coriander) I'll defo come back again! Miss the food already! FYI: it's close to kew gardens which is worth a lovely visit. Saigon Saigon+kew garden gives you a relaxing getaway:)

Lunch
Megan P.

Edible, but not worth a return visit. My husbands lunch (chicken satay and bo kho) was quite heavy and dull. My lunch (vegetable rolls and pho) was deep fried and unauthentic. Maybe growing up in California spoiled me, but to me pho has never meant a small bowl of beef broth, a few noodles and onions and a couple pieces of low quality meat. Where are my herbs, sprouts, limes and chilies? Where are the flavours? We left hungry and disappointed.

Aubergine pot
Ramon S.

Delicious Vietnamese food. It has an extensive menu with plenty of vegetarian options too. We went for the glass noodles and an aubergine pot. Everything was delicious. Some things took longer to arrive. It is a very busy place but we didn't need a reservation for a Sunday evening. I will definitely go back if i am in the area.

I like my Vietnamese to have depth in flavor. For the premium price here, I'd rather go to Cafe East.

I saw that Pho Saigon was nearby when I searched Yelp, and I'm so glad I decided (after walking…read morearound the block and back) to go in. I was offered a small bowl of homemade kimchi to go with my Tiger beer, which I was delighted by! I've wanted to try Kimchi for AGES! And it was so tasty :-) I ordered a king prawn pho. Flat noodles; halved prawns; fresh coriander, basil and mint; sliced red chilli and bean sprouts on the side which I added. I also asked if they could give it a bit of a kick to try and sink my blossoming cold and they kindly obliged. Not too hot, but enough to give it some warmth. Omnomnom! Gorgeous :-) I spoke to the owner afterwards and he said they were quite new. I would definitely be back if I'm in the area.

I had one of the soups with rice vermicelli, beef and vegetables. It was good but no matter what spiciness I added, the broth still seemed too bland for my preference. Same for my wife's rice vermicelli with mixed vegetables. The little bowl of pickled vegetables that was brought to the table were delicious. Just the right amount of spice and pickling. The restaurant is very clean, nicely decorated and it's front tables open to the sidewalk, with a couple of tables outside. Also the price was very reasonable. I'd like to give these nice people 4 stars for all the above, but the main entree failed to satisfy.

Some of the smoke exhaustion systems didn't work tonight so they only served a limited menu. That shouldn't have been a problem as we were going for some soups. I have ordered chicken wings followed by spicy beef soup. When the food was served the waiter accidentally spilled some of the red soup on my pants. At this point I was still willing to give them five star is the food was delicious. Unfortunately when I was about to finish my soup and put in the last spoonful into my mouth it contained a large piece of long hair that I had to take out of my mouth. I almost throw up. As much as I loved the food I cannot get the hair out of my head and would have a difficult time coming back and eating here again

My favourite starters are the Cha Giò (Egg rolls) and Banh Xéo, which are both socially acceptable to eat with your hands! You can also dip both in nuoc cham or peanut sauce for additional flavor. I also recommend the Pho Tai (steak), Pho Chin (brisket) or Com Tam Dac Biet (House special broken rice bowl). The broth for pho is always warm and I can't help myself but to drink all of the soup after I am done! If you need a drink, go for the Cà Phe Sua dá (Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk) - I swear it's nothing like you've ever tried before. They also have exotic Asian ice cream flavours, like Honey & Ginger, and Green tea. Pro tip: Head over for their lunch special before 5 PM on a weekday for a 2 course meal for £10!

There were some issues though: the beef was a bit chewy and there wasn't a huge amount of it (though I did leave plenty full) and the Sriracha was a brand I hadn't seen before and was a bit thin. The service was quick and the price was ok, no though certainly not cheap, but what do you expect in Chiswick. I would come back if I were in the mood for pho but I would have to be in the area already.

The food they serve is matter of fact, wholesome meals. No fancy frills. But good value for money quality and quantity wise. Caphe Guest is the sort of place you would pick food from if you are lazy to cook and need a quick fix for a hungry tumm. Recommend staying away from the woked egg noodles and fried noodles. The egg noodles are very very ok and although the fried noodles came with some good stir-fried chicken, the noodles basket had a stale oil stench. Must try - chicken curry and rice. Go for a cup of Jasmine tea to ease in the heavy food. Flavourful combination. Ambiance is cold. But this is made up for by the fantastic service. We have been there when they were almost closing and they have served us with sincerity and warmth. Each person who has served us so far has been excellent. Caphe Guest is a place for a quick fix. No date nights or laid-back dinners. Convenience and good food over luxury and comfort.
