Saigon Night — Restaurant in Melbourne

Best bún bò Huế (Huế style spicy beef noodle, but it wasn’t really spicy so would suit those who cannot tolerate hot, spicy food) we’ve ever had in Melbourne. Rarely can we find a 10/10 Vietnamese dish in Melbourne but I’d give this bún bò Huế a 10.5/10 with just the right level of sweetness and fermented flavour and the crab and beef paste and the thinly sliced brisket.

Now, let’s talk about the chả cốm. We were obsessed!! It was bursting with flavour, savory, meaty, with the perfect crunch and a lovely hint of that signature cốm aroma. Just incredible!

Portions were super generous for the price. We’re already planning...

Visited yesterday with 3 others. Me and one other shared the bun bo hue special and vermicelli dry noodles (with pork belly and spring rolls). We also put chilli on our food. Out of the 4 of us, two of us are experiencing diarrhoea symptoms today and it seems like it was from this restaurant. It was the only food that both of us ate which was the same, and which the other two didn’t eat.

Also when we went to pay, there were blowflies on the tables which hadn’t been cleared, and leftover food had been sitting around for a while.

Service was polite but our drinks took a long time. It would be good to have prices on the...
