I went out last weekend to city with group of my friends. Doing some research online before head out, I found Saigon Bay in Darlinghurst, perfect as I like Vietnamese food and close to where we want to go.
When we arrived there, a nice little Vietnamese girl welcome us and set up a table for us straight away, she is very friendly and helpfull with the menu. 5 mins after finish order, food had arrived, that's very quick. Food smell very nice and very tasty.
The price is excellent. This is one of the best restaurant I ever visit and will definitely come back and tell my friends. Thanks for good food and friendly service.
You can't beat Saigon Bay for crispy pancake (trust me I've done the Vietnamese rounds). Perfectly fresh with crispy sprouts in the flavoursome filling, crisp but not overdone. Served with superfresh coriander and mint, pickled carrot and fresh cucumber wrapped DIY in a lettuce leaf with some sauce to top it off. Perfection. Oh and the rest of the food is pretty good too. Quick efficient service and a menu for all tastes. Trust me, have the pancake.
Was looking for Vietnamese places on site in area so we wouldn't have to walk far, rung this place looking for a certain dish, which they didn't have but offered a variety of other dishes on the phone that we could try! sold!!
Walked there in twenty minutes, the lady on the counter was great she remembered who I was and had organised a great seat for 2 for me and my girlfriend. Immaculate service as they came and ran through all the different meals and which are the best, got a great little entree which had chicken, veges and soup but they light the bowl and it cooks it in front of you, then wrap it with rice paper!! awesome!!
Then after that had beef chilli with coriander, great value, the little vietnamese lady was really cute but so efficient!! nice little setting, a little packed in, but what traditional vietnamese restaurant isn't!! great atmosphere, place was full but still managed to easily get a seat on arrival. I'm half vietnamese myself and eaten at alot of vietnamese places but this is by far one of the best!!! highly recommend!!!!
I've been going to Saigon Bay for years and rate it as the best Vietnamese place in Sydney. My favourite is Sizzling seafood that arrives on ironcast hotplate, delicious! The host is very nice and friendly. The place is always full (but they can always find a table for you) which is an indication of good quality food and great atmosphere. Never had any communicatoin problems, service is fast and efficient.
I love this place. The Camp fire chicken is always so delicious and a big crowd pleaser. Every time we come here we always enjoy our meal and the BYO is great. It's always no fuss, easy to get a table, enthusiastic service (despite the language barrier) and yum!
Overall 10 - Food 10, Ambience 10, Value 10, Service 10 camp fire chicken & siziling beef is the best, no one can beat their crispy pan cake. Price is very valuable and service is exelent. I love it and defenitely come back for more
Overall 9 - Food 9, Ambience 9, Value 9, Service 9 Great place to come and dine. Friendly staff and great food. I have also ordered home delivery and the quality is just as good. We definitly recommend to my friends. Thanks you.
