My Husband and I went to Saigon with a Daddy's Deal voucher. Saigon had a set menu prepared for this deal. The food was so delicious, service was friendly and the establishment was clean and inviting.

One of my favourite restaurants over the past 20 plus years. Really tasty food, well presented.
Very pleasant ambiance and a most welcoming host. A meal to enjoy.

I think I have a bias for Asian culture, people and cusine, I am yet to confirm that with my self. Just a disclaimer here.

When I go to Saigon I usually feel the need to want to wear an Ao Dai.

The restaurant architecture is beautiful and holds stories, their waiters are gentle and welcoming, their service is wonderful, their food is one of a kind. Still can't reverse engineer some of my favourites - but one day I will Saigon chefs, one day I will!

The restaurant is also Covid conscious, please pay them a visit for the rest. And, they have some Vietnamese imports to purchase.

Love it!

Definitely the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant I've ever been to in South Africa so far. The food is tasty.

Good service and decent flavors. Good variety of Thai and Vietnamese food. However, there is a marked difference between this branch of Saigon and the fantastic Cape Town one: there are no longer part of the same group unfortunately and alot of the dishes are not the same as before. However, the manager is excellent and although wait staff are not knowledgeable of the cuisine.he does do an excellent job of maintaining standards. The venue is unfortunately noisy due to the surrounding properties so be prepared.

My husband brought me here on what was one of the most lovely date nights. The atmosphere and decor are delightful, it's perfect for an intimate setting. All the staff, and the manager, were very attentive and on the ball - overall the service was excellent. I was so impressed with the divine starters (duck spring rolls), but what will have me coming back for more again and again will have to be that exquisite seafood hotplate! The whole dish was made in front of our table - the seafood flambéed to perfection and then the coconut and peanut curry sauce added for a rich, creamy and perfectly spicy meal that was more than enough for take aways as well, my husband's chilli beef hotplate was also an absolute winner but the fanfare of my dish was hard to compete with. Attention to detail like an ice bucket for the champagne and the coconut ice with the bill were the bows on top. Excellent Saigon! Excellent!

What an amazing time we had. Top class service from Dereck and his stunning team. Made us feel welcome. Attention to detail, dishes well explained. A real Vietnamese experience in the middle of Revonia.

If you have ever travelled Vietnam you would know how the Vietnamese people pride themselves on quality food and consistency. Saigon restaurant in Rivonia serves the best authentic Vietnamese cuisine and they seem to have a knack for brilliant and bold flavour in all their dishes. The food was absolutely delicious! We had a wonderful evening trying different dishes from the wide variety they had to offer, each dish being better than the next! The staff were genuine and polite, the overall ambience was great, making this a memorable evening out. For a little taste of Vietnam in South Africa, Saigon restaurant is a must try!

Slightly above average food quality. Expensive for what you get. Decor ok. Service is reasonable. Had the tom yum soup. Compared against Anong in Cyrildene it disappointed bitterly, but then Anong's is the best I had in Jozi.

For over a decade we have been coming to Saigon. The food, service and atmosphere are always impeccable. The attention to detail and warmth from all the staff is why we keep returning. We have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries and so many other special occasions and are thrilled to see the restaurant has survived lockdown and the service and food are still 5 star! We will be back, again and again!

Wonderful place with great vibe and delicious food! We had the sweetest waiter and a few visits from the ever so helpful owner (I'm assuming) definitely a must if you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food and on the hunt for pho in JHB
