Reviews of Saigon Corner

A.

Had rice paper rolls with peanut sauce 11$ which were good Also had beef noodle soup. This was 19$. Not to my liking. And fried chicken which was really good. 8$. Good menu but beef noodle didn’t work out for me . Certainly worth a visit. Will try something different next time..

R.

Another absolutely beautiful meal the Banh Mi was crisp and packed with absolutely delicious ingredients. The ribs were melt in your mouth and were full of wonderful flavours. Best Vietnamese coffee.. The service was prompt and extra friendly. A reallly great family experience.

M.

Love the squid salad, so nice and generous, good prices and everything is always so fresh. Nice decor, good and fast service. Visited again recently after lockdown, the service was wonderful and complied to the covid-19 rules. I had the hot Vietnamese coffee to drink which was amazing! We got the chicken skewers appetizer, coconut crumbed prawns and popcorn chicken. And again I got the delicious squid salad. I bought the special duck curry home for my partners dinner and he also loved it! Will definitely be returning

H.

Chicken with ginger rice meal is amazing! A great portion of dishes with reasonable prices and good customer service. Would recommend here

D.

Really delicious fresh Vietnamese food ! The spicy beef pho and fried squid salad ! Big portions and reasonable price. The viet ice coffee was average however. Gets busy during lunch and dinner

M.

The presentation was great and the prices were fairly reasonable although probably on the expensive end for Palmerston North. I don't know if you'd call it authentic Vietnamese though. Did not appreciate the raw cabbage on my bun bo hue. Despite this a fresh place to eat with some healthyish dishes

K.

Great food, super fresh, fast service. Highly recommend the chilli lemongrass chicken!

D.

Deliciously authentic pho

C.

Friendly staff, happy to explain different meals. Awesome flavors quick service. Well worth a try

P.

Absolutely love the stock rice here. And it's a lovely shop. Enjoy coming here with some of my friends and the staff are lovely. Lovely staff, delicious fresh Vietnamese street food at really great prices. You cannot go wrong here. I have never had a bad dish. We visit here at least once a month for a great value, delicious, tasty lunch.

F.

Excellent food & great vibe! Extremely busy which is always a good sign, but even so the staff were very efficient and it didn't take long for the food to arrive, which was great value for money and very tasty.

J.

Great restaurant, with really good vietamese food, really hot and spicy, just the way we love it. The ingredients were fresh, and the place is clean, and their service was awesome. Thank you!

C.

Clean and fresh, is how I would describe this restaurant. Industrial seating with a few tables.Not a place to stay and soak up the ambiance. However the staff were friendly and quick to deliver. A tantalising menu which is reasonably priced with varied dishes and delicious generous portions. Pork and prawn summer rolls were generous but lacking in flavour. Coconut duck curry was a mouth full of joy with the taste of lemongrass lingering long after. For a health buzz try the fresh juices. Very refreshing menu and dining.

P.

Don't get folled by cheap looking interier. This is the best Asian restaurant I have ever been in New Zealand! Every food is truly amazing! And the price... simply...unbelievable! Staff is friendly and despite there is always queue, it is fast service! I also appreciate they use paper boxes and packages for take aways! It is our best restaurant. Thanks you guys in Saigon Corner for what you are doing! We will keep coming back.

W.

Excellent banh mi, if not the best in Palmerston North. The other items on the menu that I've had have been excellent and their plating is great. Always a super friendly team at this small local business.

S.

Went there at 1.30 by the time we got our food and ate half the liggts were turned off and they started shutting up shop

C.

Saigon Corner is the best! They have vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, regular omnivore, dine in or takeaway options on their menu. So friendly, fast service too. I had the vegan net springrolls and vegan coconut lemon grass tofu and vegetable curry. 5 out 5. Soooo delicious. My friend had the salt and pepper prawns with rice and salad. He said that mine was tastier, but his still was really nice. Thanks Saigon Corner!

S.

This is the BEST takeaway cuisine I've ever had regarding the freshness and taste of the food. Not oily, a great portion size and so fresh and healthy it feels like a home cooked meal! I would highly recommend, 👍🏻 P.S: I had the pork belly noodle salad!

d.

Food is always gud...little bit pricey tho

L.

Been here a couple of times now, it’s great. Fresh clean food and lovely flavour. The chicken noodle soup is not bad, it’s quite large but the flavour isn’t very strong so it didn’t blow my mind, however the chicken curry is very nice and so tender! Generous portion, enough to have leftovers tomorrow for my lunch. The vegetarian summer rolls are nice, but plain on their own so make sure you get the dipping sauce as this really makes them yum! Their Vietnamese iced coffee is wonderful. Will be going here on the regular for healthy takeaways. Thank you ❤️

A.

We have eaten here and ordered delivery a number of times and have never been disappointed. Their prices are very reasonable, particularly for Palmy. The rice dishes are very generous - too much for one sitting for me. Their salads and noodle salads are flavoursome and delicious, and their bahn mi is excellent - crisp crust, great salads, yummy protein. Their crispy spring rolls are also very satisfying. The place is deservedly popular, so it can get very packed around lunchtime. Usually between $30-40 for a generous meal for two.

R.

We have eaten here around half a dozen times and every time have been happy. When my son and I go, we order a main with an extra dish of rice and a set of spring rolls ... the total comes to around $30 and we have a really great meal. The food is really tasty and the service is fast. It seems that they have a lot of regular customers and it is popular with students. A big thumbs up for me.

F.

We haven’t had a good Vietnamese food like this for a long time! Not only the prices are very reasonable but also all the food we ordered were very tasty. I didn’t have the fish spring rolls as my 3-year-old ate them all.Quick service for takeout, and for dine in. great food. Tasty and relatively authentic compared with Actual Vietnamese food (less fresh veges and tougher meat) in country. So new zealand veges and great meat

J.

Both myself and partner ordered chicken curry. One came out cooked fresh the other i was informed was re-heated from the morning, yet they did not offer to make a fresh one. Update* I was since offered a remedy , which although I did not take , I do appreciate so my review has changed.

A.

Delicious fresh food in a friendly casual atmosphere. I’m no connoisseur of Vietnamese food but it seems very good with a wide range. Service is cheerful and quick. We go here pretty frequently when we want something that’s tasty but easy. The crispy pork spring rolls are to die for! Pity they don’t have any alcohol, but they have a decent range of drinks, and excellent Vietnamese coffee hot or cold.

J.

Never really tried vietnamese food in the past but friends suggested this place. went to the counter and asked for recommendation which they then suggested I try the waterfall chicken. it was so good! huge portion too (probably abit too huge for me; it'd be a nice portion for 2)! and friendly, prompt service. i loved my warm soy milk. my friends and i left with a huge happy belly.

J.

Amazing food! Crispy spring rolls are the best ever. Duck curry is delicious too. Will be back for sure!

M.

Love the tofu banh mi and veggie noodle soup!! Always fresh and delicious food.

T.

cute Vietnamese restaurant! great atmosphere, good food and friendly service. Price of menu is a little higher, but well worth it! The pho broth was seasoned very well, and so was the calamari salad. Great portion size, which makes it ideal for sharing. would absolutely recommend!

j.

Absolutely love Saigon corner. Usually go once a week. Great service and the meals are very tasty. Would highly recommend the duck curry and crispy spring rolls 🙏❤

C.

Nice to be back to visit n found good varieties of choices n spacious from tis eatery. My order was bit disappointed as it didn't mention little chicken pieces been deep fried (instead of stir fry) with my veg so it was hard n dry n my mate dish was good with her big bowl of veg noodle soup. Overall will visit again.

M.

Worth staying hungry just to visit this place. The food is excellent with fresh ingredients and delicious flavours. I've never been to Vietnam so I can't vouch for authenticity, but reading at this place makes me want to go to that place. Try the golden tofu bahn mi. I'm not kidding. The other thing is they get to know you. I don't know how they do it but they know their customers by name. Makes you feel all wanted and important. So I can phone up and place an order for a takeaway (recommended) and they'll ask me if I want my usual red chili on it. Heck yes. Don't hold back. I want to be imagining Vietnam through watering eyes, thank you very much.

D.

Amazing food, reasonably priced, with good sized portions. There's plenty of options for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free folks. The food tastes fantastic, the staff are friendly, and the restaurant is nice and bright and very clean. Neither the food nor the atmosphere are fancy, but the whole experience is simple and hearty and very fulfilling. Highly recommended.

B.

Quick service, plenty food for what you pay for and was tasty, want to go back sometime soon to try more

s.

$16 for a bow of noodle soup. Worth it when they do their best but sometimes, the food quality is not as good as it normally be and not worth paying $16.

C.

Delicious Vietnamese food. The only annoying thing were The flies in the restaurant

J.

Lovely beef spring rolls. I order 2 beef Banhmi which were good. However is probably missing a bit of the filling and the chilli sauce was all on one side in both. No idea what's happened in the last year but quality control needs improvement. Other than that still tasty.

K.

This is my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in New Zealand!!!!!!!!!!! I live in Auckland so when I visit my friend in Palmy, I always have a meal at least once per visit and take away as well 🥰 Chicken noodle soup and Pork&prawn noodle soup, both of them are AMAZING 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍

Q.

The pho was quite tasteless to be honest. The only saving grace were the half decent beef balls (which you needed to pay extra for). The meat was cooked well (was still a bit pink). The springs rolls were OK. Unfortunately, I find it difficult to recommend this place to anyone looking to enough a good Vietnamese meal.

M.

Just ordered through deliver easy, and received my order of Pho with beef balls and it was delicious. My first time eating Pho, and I've always wanted to try and I can tell you I wasn't disappointed. I got a pottle of hot sauce which I wouldnt have, made the dish that more flavourable. I recommend you to try it.

T.

Amazing Vietnamese food. Will definately spread the word and come back again. Had the pork belly noodle salad and sampled a pork spring roll. The salad was fresh and had so much different favours and levels of punch. Have heard lots of good things from colleagues who have worked in palmy - now I know why.

S.

The food was really good! Good vegan and gluten free option. The curry was delicious. Definitely make a reservation if it is Friday or Saturday night as seating is limited.

S.

They have the best noodle soup, my fav is this pork and prawn noodle soup.

L.

What a great menu. I decided to go for the banh mei and Vietnamese spding rolls. Amazing authentic food. Better than any I had in Ho Chi Minh. Great service and value. You always know you ha d found a winner when the restaurant is full. I could happily work my way through this menu. The food here us to die for..I had spicy coconut rice with prawns..my friend had squid salad...I asked for spicy & it was..good service friendly staff. Most excellent place for lunch.

A.

Huge fan of their Banh Mi sandwiches... lovely fresh menu and quick service. Not bad for Palmerston North at all!!

C.

Great tasting food, fresh ingredients. The salads are awesome. The staff are always friendly too. Nice casual little restaurant recently expanded, and takeaway available too.

Y.

Spacious quiet restaurant in the heart of the town with street parking.

A.

This is the best Vietnamese food in Palmerston North. Staff are always kind and friendly. The pork belly noodle salad and the fried pork spring rolls are my go-to's every time!

J.

Absolutely fantastic pork belly salad and coconut lemongrass curry! Love the banh mi’s and summer rolls too!

A.

Great food, friendly staff :) hope to see you again soon

7.

Good quality food at affordable prices. Been here multiple times and would return again and again

S.

Great food at reasonable price! My only issue is the smell of cooked food inside the eatery which lingers on me after leaving the place. Otherwise, this is a great place to enjoy a good meal.

M.

Are you worried about quantity vs quality when dining at your local restaurant? Well at Saigon corner Palmerston North you don’t have to! Deliciously well prepared food combined with large servings of the tastiest Vietnamese culinary delights, this is a safe bet to dine with a smile on your face!

S.

line for orders becomes longer at 12 o'clock sharp! it explains how this little eatery is popular among locals. great vietnamese food with fast service. must eat if you do not find alternatives.

J.

Very good quality food. Being vegetarian I appreciated them putting the fish sauce infused dressing in a separate container so I can choose to add if I want. Thank you!

J.

Good authentic Vietnamese food with a nice atmosphere matching the kind of food they serve. Would recommend over most other asian restaurants in palmy for the lower to mid-price range.

R.

Love this place! I always recommend this place to my friends!

j.

The food, the service excellent. Huge starter platter, very tasty. Mains very generous portions Party of 4 will definitely return.

G.

Best bahn mi in the country! I get bahn mi at least once a week from here and it blows my mind every time. Summer roles and dinner meals are also very very yummy and very authentic. Don't go to any other vietnamese places after Saigon as you will be disappointed

C.

Definitely try this place, the shaking beef and the coffee (as long as you have a sweet tooth 😋)

A.

This restaurant makes the most flavorful food. Good size portions and very reasonable prize. To add up they also have fantastic customer service. 🤩🤩🤩
