Saigon Restaurant — Restaurant in Hà Nội

we are staying at the Intercontinental where this restaurant is and were hoping for dinner to hit the spot we’ve had a lot of Vietnamese food - I don’t know what to say, but I could not even eat this food nor could my kids. The fried rice had literally raw vegetables in it and hard peas- it’s hard to make fried rice bad, and this was just so bad my kids cannot even take another bite

We got noodles, and the texture was just horrible, Taste was bad, literally we ate two bites

The staff, although I’m sure trying to be nice. They were kind but almost over hovering, and even though they kept just staring, they didn’t have intuition to realize what would be helpful

They also saw these dishes that were basically untouched, but didn’t perceive that maybe there was an issue they just took the plates away

our stomachs were hurting and we literally left hungry :/

I don’t leave bad reviews often, but this is not a place. I would suggest any of you going, even if you’re...

Saigon is the flagship Vietnamese restaurant at the Intercontinental Westlake in Hanoi. It has a wonderful decor and a unique fully open, glass enclosed kitchen, which is within the restaurant. If you grab a table close by, you can see the chefs actually cook up your meal. I had their traditional Cha Ca (grilled fish pieces with noodles, galangal and spices). It was prepared well, but the taste was very different for me and did not hit the spot. The kitchen sent me two complimentary deep fried pork egg rolls which were a complete knockout. Have tasted egg rolls before, but never anything so unique in taste (peppery), texture and flavor. In short, a magnificent...

Spring roll superb. Pork ribs had porkk that had a tough life...tough meat. Sea cucumber with abalone ok but food could be served hotter. Got 20% discount with the IHG ambassador card but still think it was expensive. Ambience average with no fish in the fish tank and not a lot of people on a Sunday night. Overall, prefer food at Intercon 72 over Intercon...
