Saigon Bleu 西貢 — Restaurant in London

What a find. I visited Saigon Bleu on Monday, a new Vietnamese restaurant, with a party of eight, and I must say it was an incredible experience.

We had the opportunity to try a variety of dishes from their menu, and each one exceeded our expectations. Among my personal favorites were the Chicken Curry, Spring Rolls, and Banh Cuon. The flavours were rich and authentic, truly capturing the essence of Vietnamese cuisine.

To add to the experience, Saigon Bleu offers both a karaoke setup in the main dining area and a private karaoke room, perfect for hosting private events. (Extremely rare/Non-existent in Croydon) Whether you're looking for a lively night out or a more intimate gathering, their karaoke option brings an extra element of fun and entertainment.

I would like to give a special shout-out to Nathan and Nhan, who went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of remarkable. Their friendly and accommodating nature made us feel right at home.

To complement our meal, we indulged in some of Saigon Bleu's delightful cocktails, which were truly a treat.

Overall, I cannot recommend Saigon Bleu enough. The combination of authentic Vietnamese dishes, amazing atmosphere, and top-notch service make it a standout dining destination. I have no doubt that I will be returning to explore more of their menu in the future. This has definitely become...

I’ve been wanting to try this place since it first opened. I love Vietnamese food and have struggled to find anything decent since I moved to South Croydon 1.5 yrs ago.

Happy to say I was not disappointed. The food was GREAT. I had the spring rolls (flavourful and perfectly crispy) and the seafood noodles (wetter/saucier than I was expecting, but extremely tasty nonetheless less).

It was more difficult for my friend, who is vegetarian. She had the summer rolls and was able to request tofu. However, she was in the mood for Pho but there wasn’t a veggie option available. In the end she went for the beef broth but with tofu and bean curd, instead of beef. Thankfully she didn’t mind being a “flexi-vegetarian” on this occasion. If not, there wouldn’t have been any Pho for her!

The service could’ve been a little bit faster but overall the staff were warm and lovely. Really liked them! The restaurant was nicely decorated, and clean too. I’d say it’s a little small for how nice they are. As in, I went on a Weds and it was quite busy by the time we left. I can only imagine it on a Thurs, Fri or Sat. I foresee Saigon Bleu becoming a bit of a neighbourhood gem. They’re going to need more space!

I will definitely be going back. I plan to work my way through the...

We came as a recommendation and boy we were not disappointed. The food is AMAZING freshly made and super tasty. Tasted authentic and home made. We absolutely loved it 🥰

Two areas of improvement for me. Firstly the menu. For us non Vietnamese 🇻🇳 it would be great that the dishes photo on the menu matched the dish. As the name doesn’t say much to us. Also one photo is used for all dishes LOL makes no sense. Also, the waitress was a bit cold. When we ordered and food was delivered. Various sauces were given but no explanation on how we should eat it when asked we got the shortest answer and had to ask for each dish when you could have already assumed we are not familiar so explaining the dish would be nice. But this is minor and easy for them to improve. But will definitely come back the food was...
