While small and unassuming in size, this place packs quite a punch on both the value for money stakes, and the quality of the food. Two areas that are usually fairly incompatible.Not so the case for Saigon
One of the busier establishments on armstrong street, and despite the fact the wait staff look more like
traffic control council workers, in their hi-vis polo tops, the food is excellent, is served, fast, and the service is pretty friendly, and generally not half bad. The staff don’t ignore you and its easy to catch their eye. fast and efficient.
This restaurant is very possibly the home of the most generous and best value duck rice noodle soup i have had in the whole of Victoria!
I have ordered the duck soup, & rice noodles- which costs a princely $12.80 three times now, and there has always been a consistent quarter to half duck in the bowl! pretty damn good value!
I dipped my betel leaf wrapped beef packages in the soup.. delicious!
