Nuit de Saigon — Restaurant in Cocody

Restaurant is well situated. Seems a bit old.But old can be good. Parking are available outside. But it's just next to a junction, can be hectic during the day. Lot of seats available so no reservation needed I guess. The personnel is helpful and knowledgeable. They know the menu and what's inside. Seems to me they have been working there for some time. Which is a good sign. The menu is very exhaustive. We ordered 3 starters. Not deceived. They're good. Was deceived by the main course. Portions are small but with the starters it's ok. Price is average. Starters between 3000-5000cfa. Main plate between 5000 and up. They have a wine menu if you're an amateur. Out of three beer they had only one. The main course is ok. Taste is good. Well seasoned. Service is decent , within 15-20min. Starters within 10-15min. The only stuff I was not comfortable was the smell . It had this smell of moisture. Like I said it's old. And the place needs some renovation. Payment by cash and card is accepted. Can't confirm for mobile money. Take away is possible. It's not an halal place. Their pork...

Nuit de Saigon is my favorite Asian restaurant. The food is specialized in Vietnamese food and is excellent. As the years goes by, the food remains divine and the staff incredible. I always take the soja salad and fried rice with chicken skewers and it is extremely delicious. The price is also reasonable. The atmosphere is very cozy and embraces the Asian theme; there is also a pond where you can see fish swimming. Although it is perfect, the reason why I gave 4 stars is because the service can be extremely slow. However, it’s a wonderful place to relax and have a good time.

UPDATE:

Last time I was at Nuit de Saïgon was in 2018. I ate there with my siblings yesterday and I noticed an increase in price of the menu and a decrease in food portion. My sister ordered prawns skewers and they served two skewers with three prawns each. However the food is still succulent. The service was okay except for the fact that it was difficult to get ahold of the waiters sometimes. For three people we spent 51,500 CFA. I will...

The best Vietnamese restaurant I have ever eaten in. The place which in my childhood, teenage years, and early adult life was always a source of immense joy during friends and family gatherings. The nems were so crispy and generously filled, the duck with the yellow feet soup my favourite starter, the crabes farcis/stuffed crabs had a very tasty mix of pork mince and spices, the fried/cantonese rice was so fragrant, always feeling freshly made, the banana flambée served with such panache. Those were my personal favourites on the menu. Because of this restaurant, Vietnamese cuisine is my favourite one from Asia. Around the World, even in Asia, I have had great Vietnamese dishes, nowhere as nice as there. Thank you. So glad you are...
