Saigon Van Vietnamese Cuisine - Dunedin

To start, we ordered the fried chicken and savory pancakes, and they were out of this world. The chicken was juicy and crispy, complemented perfectly by the sauce. The fresh carrot salad was also a delightful addition. For our main courses, I had the five-spice chicken, which was undoubtedly the most delicious chicken I’ve ever tasted—I didn't even want to share! My partner enjoyed the braised pork and egg, which was melt-in-your-mouth tender; he claimed the broth was the best he had ever tasted. A special shoutout to the amazing staff—they were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that customers were happy without being overbearing. I had a fantastic time and honestly, I can't recommend this place enough. I want to express my gratitude to the entire team for their outstanding work and all the wonderful experiences they provided! Best, Maleah and Alex

Delicious authentic Vietnamese dishes are available. One of my favorites is their noodle soup. Highly recommended!

The pho is incredibly flavorful, and the grilled pork and pancakes are particularly delightful. The service is polite and attentive. Prices are reasonable, and the restaurant is clean with a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

Noodle dishes were on the saltier side than what we are use to could be the fish sauce. Also, wished fresh rice noodles were used but we realised this may not be possible being an island and possibly no local producers of rice noodles. The restaurant was accomodating to our 15month child.

Great food and fresh!! Definitely come back next time when we visiting Dunedin.
