Miss Saigon, Vietnamese cuisine in Sao Paulo

🍲 Miss Saigon: Pinheiros' Premium Vietnamese Gem (But Bring Your Wallet) Celebrated my bestie’s bday here—and hands down, the best Vietnamese I’ve had in SP! Located in Pinheiros, it’s a splurge (R$150–200/person), but the flavors justify it. Here’s what we devoured: 🌟 Standout Dishes That Wow Shrimp Summer Rolls & Pork Spring Rolls: Summer rolls: Perfect balance—no overwhelming mint, just fresh shrimp, herbs, and rice noodles. 🍤 Spring rolls: Crispy wrappers stuffed with minced pork and glass noodles. 🥢 Wrap in lettuce with peanut sauce and pickled cucumber for flavor explosion. Shrimp Sugarcane Skewers: Juicy shrimp paste molded around sugarcane, grilled to smoky perfection. 🍢 The cane adds a subtle sweetness when chewed—genius! Crispy Pork Knuckle Platter: Tender meat under crackling skin—served with lettuce, noodles, and dipping sauce. 🐷 Must-wrap combo: lettuce + pork + noodles + sauce = Vietnamese taco vibes. ❌ Room for Improvement: Noodles & Nuoc Cham Pho & Bun (Vietnamese Noodle Salads): Decent, but fish sauce (nuoc cham) was too intense—overpowered the noodles. 🍜 Thai versions have milder, more balanced sauces. 💡 Pro Tips for Your Visit Splurge Occasion: Birthdays, date nights—atmosphere is upscale-casual. Order Strategy: Share appetizers to try more dishes (spring rolls, sugarcane skewers are musts). BYOB?: No, but they have a solid wine list to pair with rich dishes. 🌟 Final Verdict: SP’s Top Vietnamese (for a Price) Go if: You crave authentic Vietnamese flavors done with finesse You’re willing to pay for quality ingredients You want a special dining experience in Pinheiros Miss Saigon sets the bar high for Vietnamese in SP—just be prepared to spend.
