Hello Saigon — Restaurant in Lisbon

The gave me meatballs when I ordered the vegetarian option. I took out the meatballs, and asked them about it (I wasn't even upset, mistakes happen). They took it, and came back five minutes later, claiming they're vegetarian. The staff pulled up a google search photo of a packet of mushroom meatballs (even though it look nothing like the meatballs I was given), and said they can't show me the packaging they have, cuz they threw it out. I know vegetarian versions of similar meatballs exist, but the ones I got were definitely not (judging from the smell and texture).

I'd much rather them just admit to the mistake than try to gaslight me :)

I placed the meatballs on the small plate, they took the small dish and gave it back to me without the meatballs. If they were vegetarian, why not give them back to me? (The manager claimed it was cuz he touched them without gloves. But that's not a good enough excuse. Shouldn't he have replaced it if that's the case?)

The manger asked me to add him on Whatsapp and said he'll send me proof that the meatballs are vegan. I have waited for a month, and haven't gotten any...

we ordered for takeout and it was not good. i don’t like to leave bad reviews, but just honest from my experience.

the pho had soaked up all the soup before we could even eat it (probably should have packed it separately) and did not taste anything like pho (take this from an actual Vietnamese person).

wonton soup - which i thought would just be a light broth with wontons, but it was somewhere mixed between a miso soup with seaweed and veggies and wontons - very odd.

salmon temaki - the salmon had no flavor at all like it was frozen perhaps too long or just not quality.

xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) were probably the only decent part...

I never write reviews but I feel I had to had to write a review in the is place. This restaurant is one of the best sushi I have ever eaten. I live in London and I have eaten in many of the top restaurants as my husband entertains a lot of high end clients. So we have been to quiet a few sushi restaurants and this restaurants sushi was sooo much better. The food was fresh and very tasty. The amount of food we ordered we would have paid at least £400 in sushi samba, our bill only came to £120 euros. That was with drinks and 5 adults and we didn’t hold back when ordering food.. I would definitely recommend...
