Going in I had no expectations of Saigon. Most reviews were mixed - some scathing, others glowing. However, from the minute we walked through the door, we were treated to exceptional service and hospitality from wait staff to the host and especially the manager. The real star of the evening was the food though! The complimentary prawn chips were among the best I've had - light, crisp and deliciously seasoned. We ordered a couple of dishes and ate family style. My favourites include the caramel pork, tempura veg and pork riblets. The perfect ending to the evening was the dessert plate. It was a smorgasbord of indulgent sweetness. We all loved the coconut ganache and the pavlova bomb. Saigon is highly recommended and will be back!
