SAIGON

THE EXPERIENCE

Saigon, South Africa’s first Vietnamese restaurant, was founded by Ernst Fischer in 1997. From the very first dish created by Head Chef Van My to today’s carefully curated menu, we have remained true to the authenticity and creativity that defined our beginnings.

For more than two decades, we’ve been proud to share unforgettable dining experiences with our guests. Thank you for being part of our journey and for your continued support as we continue to grow in Cape Town.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Food was good, service was fast and efficient. Towards the end of our meal, one of the guests found a small piece of plastic in her dish. We informed the waiter, and they hastily packed us a replacement, free of charge. Mistakes happen, so we were happy with the outcome.

But then, when the bill came, Saigon said they have covered our bill, as an apology for the piece of plastic. That was truly way beyond what we expected, and incredibly generous.
It is rare to find a restaurant that values customer service so highly.

The menu offers a wide variety of absolutely delicious Vietnamese dishes, and the ambience strikes a perfect balance between vibrant and relaxed. The staff are friendly, efficient, and professional, which adds to the overall experience.
As it’s a very popular restaurant, booking is essential—especially over weekends. Parking can be a bit tricky in the area, with limited on-site options, so it’s best to arrive early to secure a spot.

For starters we had the Tom Yum Soup (best ever!), Miso Soup, char grilled chicken skewers and main course the Peking Duck is always a big recommendation.
