Reviews of Saigon Centre Vietnamese Restaurant
M.My partner and I went here for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. As you can see in the pics...the food was hot, fresh, packed with flavor and overall sooooo delicious 😋. Thank you to the chef and lovely waiter who looked after us! We will definitely be going back 😍
C.The food tasted okay, nothing too special or noticeable, but I wish they had shrimp spring rolls instead of sausage meat, which tasted bit weird to me, and also wish the Laksa had more toppings like egg or fried tofu. Not bad for the price, but also not sure why we should be back.
R.One of the best restaurants in Christchurch! We've been eating here for over 15 years, it keeps getting better and better especially with the new owner (same family). We had takeaway for a birthday meal yesterday - best value for money ANYWHERE. Delicious flavours & generous portions of each dish. We're always satisfied, never disappointed.
(Edited to add: the "new" owners took over several years ago!)
N.Authentic food and friendly staff.
If you like Saigon Star before 2018, you'll love this restaurant too.
K.Food is so nice.
But there were only 2staffs. And so many guest and table inside. They looks so busy. So it was hard to get good service.
M.Delicious Vietnamese food and staff are friendly too. Would definitely go back.
S.Very friendly service. Good food and comfy environment.
B.Delicious and authentic Vietnamese food. Consistently good. The service is always very friendly.
T.What a delicious discovery! I have never tasted such magical Vietnamese fare in all my life. Their phos, curries and stir fries are just heavenly. The menu had my eyes dancing and I was so excited by all the mouthwatering options. They also have a lovely drinks selection and their desserts look pretty amazing too. I highly rate and recommend their coconut chicken and vermicelli dishes. With winter not far away, I also cannot wait to try their soups and broths. A beautiful clean and well presented establishment conveniently located beside the South City shopping centre. Awesome work chef and counter team. Our waiter was a super fellow!
N.Good Vietnamese food. Only flaw was lack of fresh herbs. Monk fish curry especially good. Very noisy due to students but owners very welcoming and nice.
S.We enjoyed 9 course set menu for 50 people and the staff catered to people with allergies and the service was excellent! Food was such great value, but most importantly so authentic and amazing tastes. Highly recommend 👌
M.Amazing place, food and service are always fantastic. Have been coming here for years. Love the staff, all so friendly. Their roast chicken pho is the best in Christchurch.
Highly recommend for any occasion.
N.I am a regular here and I highly recommend this place. Absolutely amazing food! Especially the rare beef pho and crispy fried chicken. 10/10
S.The crispy chicken is certainly a treat! Great value, convenient location and perfect for a Friday or Saturday night as it is a BYO restaurant!
A.Reading previous reviews, we expected more from the fresh spring rolls and the pho to be honest...
S.Lovely place and staff A+ soooo cheap too
E.I like their chicken pho. Friendly service
V.One of the best meals of my life....
I came at 5pm had chicken lemon with chilli, plus beef pho. One hot one mild dish.
Each dish had wonderful long lasting flavours.
The staff are very friendly.
When I return to Chch I will be back.
If you come bring positive vibes.
Thanks Saigon for a great memory

N.Decor seemed a bit worn and unclean, water was icky tap water in a tupperware jug, table with tacky plastic table cloth..I felt like leaving immediately. But the food came quickly, was piping hot and tasty, broccoli and prawns fresh, so not such a disappointment in the end.
A.Vietnamese pancake is like THE BEST! HANDS DOWN...
N.Great value for money, meals come.out super fast staff are great and friendly they even charged my phone for me!

I.It was a pleasure to be there. Very convenient location, close to South City Mall. We tried some dishes and all of them were absolutely delicious! Nice ambient, great decoration and friendly staffs. I have also noticed that other customers were also enjoying their meals. The restaurant has their own restroom.

N.A group of 8 went for a birthday celebration and the birthday girl chose for a banquet menu. There were 10 dishes beautifully presented, very tasty and delicious with a great variety. The staff were attentive to such things as chilled water and drinks , as well as serving the food and clearing empty platters.what a marvelous night, I recommend this fabulous restaurant to anyone who enjoys Vietnamese flavors and cuisine. Well done Little Saigon
G.I think this is the best value Vietnamese in Christchurch, they have beautifully cooked meals and can't complain on timing, even when they're full.
黃.Best pho I’ve ever had in New Zealand lol
J.As happens often with new owners, they try and cut costs. This has occurred here with their portions being cut and removing rewards card as well as making diners go to the counter to pay for drinks when ordering. All have made the place that was very popular with a large group of us, very disappointing now and we are sure others will say the same.
A.Would frequently come here to abuse my stomach with heavenly flavors of Asia after a hard week/month of work. Would always order large protion and doggy bag the left overs. Worth every penny!!
If you're craving Pho, look no further! Highly recommend the deep fried squid ;)
강.Superb. One of the best Phos I’ve ever had in my life:)
B.What a great place to take a bottle of wine.
Best fresh spring rolls and fried chicken in town!

K.Big portion for a single person... Suit the price.
P.Friendly welcoming staff and a good range of Vietnamese staples. We had pork and prawn fresh rolls with an accompanying chilli/fish/tamarind/peanut dressing. Yum! Then combination pho with a rich savoury broth, vermicelli and generous chunks of various proteins. More than enough for lunch but still tempted by a sweet Vietnamese coffee (with condensed milk) to finish. Definitely give Little Saigon a try!

S.This is a wonderful family friendly restaurant with excellent parking at the next door mall. The staff are wonderful and recommended grear dishes for us. I've been to Vietnam and was not disappointed tonight... dishes were authentic and diverse. The bar has a wide range of drinks too. I recommend the pho (soup) and fresh spring rolls. The meat and veges are of a verh high quality. I will definitely eat here again and again. The venue can accomodate large bookings and would be ideal for big celebrations or work functions.
