Review Le Saigon Cafe Bar Restaurant - Sydney

I love my Vietnamese cuisine and Le Saigon delivers a great menu of traditional dishes. The chefs specials are a stand out. Every dish sampled was made with the freshest of ingredients and tasted delicious. Whilst my expectations of coffee were not high, my double macchiato was as good as any Cafe in St Leonards. Highly recommended.

Price: Above Average Portion: Medium-Large Service: 4/5 - Great, just not 5/5 as some of the staff struggled with some questions Pho Dac Biet 3/5 - Soup could be more tasty, just a bit too much MSG as well

Contemporary Viet Cuisines with reasonable price. Best Belgian Hot Choc & Mocha in town.

Recently cam across this GEM on a casual day in St Leonards. The food were authentic, the atmosphere was great for large group. The design is contemporary but has an Indochine touch which showcases the Vietnamese culture. The service was great and the owner took his time to explain the menu when we had a question. Definitely recommended.

Come here twice a week for really delicious pho or crispy chicken. Food is always good and never disappoints. Service is always very friendly! The ice chocolate uses real chocolate flakes and is great as an afternoon treat.

Hello Francis, lovely meal tonight as always! 4th time at your restaurant and we absolutley love it. There is nothing on your menu I haven't liked. The food is always top notch. One request, can you please bring back the Banh Khot pancakes one day? Had them there once and they were absolutley devine! For anyone looking for authentic South Vietnamese food this place is worth crossing town for. See you again soon!

We are regulars at this restaurant and absolutely love it. The restaurant is nicely decorated and sometimes has live music! The Bun Dac Biet is delicious and tastes very fresh. The rice paper rolls are the best! We would definitely recommend this place to others and will continue coming back.

Your Comment: Hi Took my son and grandson for a treat - couldn't have made a better choice! Food, ambience and service all excellent. I didn't spend all of my voucher's worth and we had a royal feast - fresh, light and tasty, and learnt some Vietnamese words from our lovely waitperson, Tracey. Highly recommended Ann Howard

Very bad service and food was below average.<br/>Try to attract customers by offering Groupon vouchers then reject us from using it. <br/><br/>Avoid at all cost

Le Saigon is a nice restaurant that serves delicious Vietnamese food. I feel it’s more on the fusion side but still delicious regardless. Pictured are battered barramundi with tamarind sauce, braised beef ribs, beef pho, stir fried mixed vegetables, sweet potato chips & watermelon margarita. My favourite would be the barramundi, it’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it’s a must have every time I visit the restaurant.

Le Saigon serves decent Vietnamese food, not amazing but not bad either. Although the food price here is more expensive than other Vietnamese food outlets in Sydney, considering its location in St Leonards it is pretty worth it. The venue is pleasant and it isn't too noisy or cramped either, making it a good choice for grabbing casual lunch with work mates for those working around the area. <br/><br/>* RATING * <br/>Food: 3/5<br/>Venue: 4/5 <br/>Service: 3/5

I have been to this restaurant many times as the food is decent - but tonight I encountered the rudeness of 2 staff - a male staff plus a guy who claims he was the manager,Purchased a scoopon and had a booking for 27 April - 2 days prior I called to cancel and change the date to tonight 19 May explaining that my husband was very unwell @ I spoke to a female staff member who happily changed my booking - rebooking me for tonight and not once explaining that as I had booked with scoopon she technically could not really change my booking and that apparently I had to call scoopon customer service to change it. The voucher itself doesn’t event state this. Anyway I arrive tonight to find that whilst my name was clearly in the book for tonight some staff member had also at some point put a line through tonight cancelling it and they refused to allow me to dine using my voucher. Not only did I drive 40 minutes to get to this restaurant but the staff were extremely rude saying that I should have known better to contact scoopon to cancel the booking and rebook - and not the restaurant . Well let’s take a look at the actual scoopon voucher shall we - we did that and no where in the voucher did it say that you could not make a change with the restaurant - in fact it does say that changes are permitted 24 hours or more prior (and I had in fact done that, what made me more angry was the rudeness of the manager who accused me of calling them back to cancel tonight’s booking as spoke if their staff had put a cross through my name - well how stupid would I be to call and cancel and drive 40 mins to go there, he offered no apology at all and was downright rude. Staff just can’t behave that way no matter what - and to accuse me of calling to cancel my own booking a second time - how pathetic. I will never set foot near this restaurant again and will be spreading the disgusting treatment I received to all friends who dine there

Quite nice Vietnamese food. The "pork roll" is quite different from what you get at other places but quite nice.<br/>At dinner they seem to have a live piano player.<br/>Food is quite good, the fried crab was very nice

Not good value for money and to top it off, the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Try Chao Ba in Chatswood - they are perfect!

We had never tried Vietnamese restaurant food apart from the usual pho and pork chop rice so we thought we'd give this a go. Service was attentive, and it's nice that they make decent coffee and have a selection of western desserts. Not sure if it was the bad selection of dishes that we made but we found everything we ordered (entree and mains) a bit too sweet and we had to eat a lot of rice to counter the sweetness.

One of my favourite lunch places in St Leonards. Coming back again and again for the wonderful Pho. Huge portion for $15 or $16, depending on which Pho you choose. Quick and friendly service.

We went there with a scoopon deal. The design of the restaurant is modern and comfortable and doesn’t looks like usual Vietnamese restaurant. The spring roll is nice and we love their coconut mangoes smoothies too. Service is excellent and will come back for try their other dishes.

They constantly forgets what you order, send the wrong order, or bring out a dish and ask did you order this item. They gave us a seperate menu which has only less than 5 vegetarian friendly item. Rice crepe was soaked in oil...disappointed.

Excellent service and always friendly. Food is delicious with amazing flavours. Generous portion serving sizes too! Plenty of vegetarian options as well.

This little gem Vietnamese is hidden. So glad we found it last night. Most dishes we ordered were great and service is great too. Dishes came out pretty quickly so we were very happy. Very tasty pho and my little son almost finished the big bowl by himself and still asking for more. Cakes are also nice, we ordered the New York cheese cake and flourless chocolate cake and both tasted nice. We definitely will come back again !!!

To be honest, I didn't expect much from Le Saigon given that the restaurant was quite empty on a Saturday night. Fortunately it proved me wrong. Prices are certainly higher than in Cabramatta but reasonable for the location and meal size. I liked my grilled beef with rice vermicelli salad. Not only was the beef tender and flavoursome, they were also generous with the vegetables. The pho broth was also tasty, albeit a bit salty for my palate. Everyone enjoyed their meals and protip: ask for the chilli sauce (sate) - it was a terrific addition for any dish. Service was attentive and friendly. Would return for the food.

Purchased a Scoopon deal online which offered $60 worth of food for $29. Ordered 3 dishes and thought the portion size of the caramelised pork in a clay pot was especially teeny tiny considering it would normally cost $20. The chefs special prawn dish was pretty small as well. Not sure if this is the norm as looking around everyone else's dishes looked huge in comparison. Perhaps portion sizes are made smaller for scoopon deals? Apart from the the meal portions the flavours we're bang on and pretty darn delicious! Loved the Bun Dac Biet! The Tom Sot Me had a great tamarind flavour on the prawns, the caramelised pork dish packed a punch. Overall pretty good apart from the size of our portions.

A fantastic night with live Piano and enjoyed Vietnamese food<br/><br/>The best Pho I've tried :) Highly recomemed to try Banh Xeo and Banh Khot which are very popular in Vietnam.

I did love the food and service. But today am disappointed. I purposely called into to put my order for pickup. I came to let Saigon after 20 minutes and the person working at the counter at 8pm on 16/2 said he did not put my order through. I left disappointed with the service. My order was under Shawn.<br/><br/>

Was happy with tonight's dinner at Le Saigon. It was authentically Vietnamese with really nice flavours. The service was quite attentive, but more importantly the dishes we ordered were all a hit! Would definitely recommend the "heo kho to" which is like caramelised pork in a clay pot. It's really great with white rice. Would recommend this place for groups and families to come share some authentic Vietnamese dishes.

I was originally reluctant to visit this place mainly because the restaurant feels like a pub. However, it serves coffee/wine and classic vietnamese dishes that's actually more appropriate for family and big group. I was quite surprised that the food they serve was beyond my expectations. We ordered crispy fried chicken, rice flour pancakes and classic beef pho. The serving was quite big and enough for sharing. I think this is a great go-to place especially for people who live nearby who want to have a quick hearty meal. We already plan to go back there with our guest a few weeks from now.

I love Pho, I’d eat Pho every day. Jin doesn’t like Pho, which means I don’t eat Pho as much as I’d like. After Jin dragged me to Melbourne (sorry Sydney is better) I knew I’d get to redeem some love coupons and eat out what I wanted to eat. Now normally we would go to the “other” Vietnamese joint around the corner but like most Asian eateries around this time of year, they were shut.

Ate here with a Vietnamese friend and she rated Le Saigon highly for authenticity and flavour. In my humble opinion the flavours were fresh and confident without any offensive spice or over use of fish sauce. Service was spot on with knowledgeable and friendly service. Definitely worth a visit. Pork crepes was my highlight dish, please try
