Saigon Bowl Newington — Restaurant in Sydney

3.5 - Came here with great expectations but was disappointed, firstly because they wouldn't allow me to order 2 Spring Rolls (for $5) as per the offer for those who order Vermicelli dishes. They only allow Customers to order 4 Spring Rolls for $9.50. I was unhappy with their lack of flexibility to cater for the Customer, especially as they have this offer already and it's not particularly cheap. I also ordered the Special Beef Pho ($17.50), which was served in a high bowl, and I don't know if that was the reason but the noodles were very broken up and tasted watery (leading me to think they had been sitting in water for a long time). The Broth needs more depth of flavour because even the lemon didn't really help. However, I did love the Spring Rolls. They were meaty and left me too full. I also ordered a Taro Milk Tea ($6.50) to have for much later. Service was friendly and I like that they listen to feedback in...

1st time here on 14.5.22 - fast friendly service & the food was great but on our return on 22.5.22 it was below average, hence the rating

14.5.22 - Nice & quiet after lunch hour & enjoyed all 3 x dishes. We ordered: Combination egg noodle soup Combination vermicelli Beef kang kong/water spinach with rice

22.5.22 - Peak dinner hour - place was packed out & really busy. We ordered: Lychee guava lemon squeeze - this drink was so artificial. Felt like drinking syrup Lemongrass Chilli pork chop with rice - pork tasted like oil drenched meat & couldn't taste the flavour Combination seafood rice noodle soup - average & the seafood wasn't fresh or great quality

Will return when it's outside lunch/dinner hour to try their other menu - hopefully it will be as nice as...

Extremely satisfied with the service provided here! The food was amazing, would definitely recommend everyone trying out the signature pork chop with rice; super authentic, the fish sauce was just right with savoury and saltiness. Another must try dish is the grilled beef pho; super unique, and perfect blend of flavours, hu tieu xao thap cam extremely large portion size and so flavourful! A dish that I found super unique and requires a lot of skill: stuffed chicken wings; delicious, packed with so many different ingredients dipped into the signature fish sauce creates such a lovely dish! The price point of all their dishes were extremely reasonable for the portion of food you get 😊 would definitely come...
