Saigon’s Fresh Rolls — Restaurant in Sydney

We ordered 3 rolls and they were all hefty and generous on the meat. The crispy pork roll featured large, chunky pieces of pork belly with good crackling. The BBQ lemongrass chicken was freshly cooked to order and was juicy and flavourful (however, the heat from the chicken steamed the bread and turned it soft). The regular pork was pretty tasty, but pate and soy sauce distribution could be a bit better. Their chilli is not particularly hot but mainly adds the aroma of chilli, which is nice.

We realised that they only put pate on the regular pork roll - would've wanted it on the crispy pork too so will ask next time :)

EDIT 22/9/22: Tried their BBQ pork salad bowl ($16) takeaway: took about 10 mins for them to make at the back - I think they were grilling the pork fresh. Turned out to be nem nuong 😋 not charsiu. Super generous with the meat (like 6 slabs of it), with vermicelli, Vietnamese basil, salad leaves, bean sprouts, pickled carrots, fried peanuts, shallot oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds which was...

No line at this store, I was served immediately. The bread was pulled out of a warming rack and liberally spread with pate and mayo. Other fillings included cucumber, coriander, chopped shallot, pickled carrot and white onion, plus a sprinkling of fried shallot. Classic 3 kinds of pork cold cuts.

Pretty happy with this roll, the basic fundamentals were all present but what made it better than the average roll was the generous amount of mayo, pate and sauce applied. The quick pass with a pepper shaker at the end was a nice touch too. Too often, other shops skimp on these taste-enhancing components.

The combination of plentiful flavour and fast service here makes it easy to recommend Saigon Fresh Rolls over the popular Hong Ha Bakery...

We came across this place whilst waiting in line to get pork rolls from Hong Ha. After a painfully long wait we decided to just get food from here instead.

We got the crispy pork rolls which were $10 each. This is on the higher end of pricing but worth every cent.

The bread was fresh, crisp and had good structural integrity. They were generous with the filling and the pork was very juicy and had good crackling. I asked for mine with pate as I don't think that's normally included in this type of roll.

This place definitely rivals Hong Ha and with the benefit of no wait I would probably prefer eating here...
