Saigon City Restaurant

"Classic warm family owned Vietnamese restaurant in Historic Sea captains home in Beautiful Old Saybrook near shore points. Most authentic and high quality Vietnamese cuisine available in the state of Connecticut with genuine family service. Unmatched well appointed Vietnamese & New England colonial inspired ambience.,"

"When you enter Saigon City Restaurant, you order to the left, where you will see 2 vintage Honda motorcycles. Then you are invited to take a seat in an elegant and beautiful dining room with a fireplace and wonderful ambiance! A++++++"

"Rounding the review up to 4 stars because it seems like a great restaurant that has not found its post-COVID sweet spot. The service is convoluted for a newcomer. Atmosphere is gorgeous. Homemade food - like the soups - are extremely flavorful. Other food - likes the fried stuff and meat apps - are either over cooked or too deeply fried. Price is higher than expected for what you get (portion), regardless of whether the food is tasty or not. Edit: unsolicited advice - when people (especially first-timers) follow the signs and are presented with a menu and someone immediately ready to take their order… invite them to sit in a sitting area and give them a menu and some time to make their decision"

"If you get it, get it to go only. Dining in you order at a counter and then go find a table. They are still serving food in plastic containers with plastic silverware and you have to throw away your own dishes (dining in). We used to LOVE dining here, but food has gone downhill and it’s not worth it anymore. Chicken was not good quality. So much for a nice birthday dinner."
