Saigon Cuisine PE in Charlottetown

Delightful. Food was amazing Vegetarian options: Great Food : 5/5 |

Very tasty, hot and we received good service. The dishes have a good price-quantity ratio.

Really amazing beef vermicelli bowl!

I just got the rare beef pho for take out and it is probably the best pho I ve ever had, I asked them to make it spicy and it was the perfect level for me I was blown away by all the flavour. Extremely friendly staff and a lovely little restaurant. I will definitely be returning

My family really enjoys the great Vietnamese food and friendly atmosphere at Saigon Cuisine. The staff and services are amazing! Highly recommend!

Its a good place to taste Vietnamese food.

Unintentionally ordered something that wasnt on the menu but the owner didnt even think twice to make our dream happen. Vietnamese sub was delicious! Thanks for making our day

A couple of days ago, we had dinner at this restaurant. This owner adjusts his morale based on the tip you leave. Despite this restaurants disingenuous claim that tipping is optional, the owner shouts at anyone who leaves no tip or a tip below his law--his expectations. Here, as I read some reviews from other customers who visited here, leaving 0 and 8% tips is treated the same way-- you will be met with extreme rudeness and shouting, as if you refused to pay for your meal. I left 8% and I got his extremely rude complaints and yelled while I was in the middle of praising his food as delicious. All of this shows clearly that the owner neither cares about his store nor cares about customers feelings of his food. He shows no respect or gratitude for his customers. The only thing he really cares about is how to get more money from us! I dont think tipping is a part of Vietnamese culture, so I dont understand the owners obsessive and extreme reaction to tips. If he can quickly adopt and value tipping so highly, then why hasnt he also adopted to Respect others and be Kind? In conclusion, do not go to this restaurant.

Very delicious

Excellent.

Perfect, Parfait, 10 points zero but uwu

**Also to the other reviews that say we had to write down our order ourselves, have you never been to a Vietnamese restaurant before? They all work like that, the server taking your order is something that doesnt happen in Vietnamese restaurants.** REVIEW: Really friendly owner, he even speaks Cantonese. Its always a happy time to meet someone who is multilingual in Cantonese and Vietnamese, since I feel like were so rare nowadays, we had a good chat and he told me how he learned the language despite not growing up in it. The food was also fairly good, there were bean sprouts and basil leaves given (no limes) on the side for the Pho Dac Biet. However, if Im comparing the other 2 pho places Ive been to so far on PEI, this one is the best, but nothing compares to what I can find back home in Ontario.

Our favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Charlottetown. Always great food and a friendly staff. Has gluten-free options.

Food is absolutely delicious and Lam is very sweet and polite. Thank you Lam :)

Absolutely delicious! Excellent service. Will definitely eat here again.

On a stormy night, staying in a nearby hotel it was the perfect comfort meal. Very pleasant host and great food. I highly recommend it if in Charlottetown.

Best soup in the city.

Great Vietnamese food. Parking: Parking locate just in front of the shop.. Kid-friendliness: Need more parking spaces if they can.

Worst service

Wow. Love this restaurant.

Well done.

Worst package . Food excellent

Our party of three ate here during a trip to PEI. The food was fresh and tasty and we had very friendly service.

Healthy, delicious and great service

Parking: Ist gut gelegen am der Hauptstraße. Denke es ist einfach einen zu finden Wheelchair accessibility: Zugang mit dem Rollstuhl gestaltet sich schwierig, da es drei Stufen sind

Tried Saigon Cuisine for the first time tonight and had the Beef and meatball Pho and shrimp salad rolls. Both items were fantastic and I will definitely be back!

Amazing food, great service

the worst service ever. The old man even shouted at customer face when there is no tip. Since he was so rude and mean when we step in the restaurant, so there is no way we put a tip on that awful service. Will never come back again.

The service so bad, dirty spoons, customer attitude. Don t try it!!

Dirty spoon, bad behavior!

This was one of my favorite places we went to eat at while on vacation. The food was excellent, mellow but really filling. The atmosphere was peaceful and we had no complaints whatsoever.

Amazing restaurant! I went there multiple times and their food is always exceptional. The staffs are very friendly as well. 10/10 would recommend.

Fast, fresh food. Everything tasted great. Will be back to try more dishes.

Really yummy Vietnamese food! In my opinion, best in Charlottetown.

I ordered takeout over their stores app. My pho was ready quickly, and ultimately was quite tasty. When I went to pick it up, the staff were friendly, and the food was packaged in a way that kept it warm. If you order on the app, ensure you specify if you need utensils/ a bowl to eat it in. Overall good pho, I would recommend.

The food was incredible. I never write reviews but this special place deserves a 5 star. Delicious.

Stopped in here after a long, hot walk. Lam was very friendly and accommodating. Ordered to go and had a cold beer while waiting. Decided to eat our summer and spring rolls there. Then he talked us into an order of pho. All delicious. Wonton soup was outstanding.

The owner was super nice, and the food was all very good.

The traditional vietnamese dish are amazing, pho, pork sausage wraped in vermicelli and fresh vegetables, real vietnamese coffee...plus the manager is super friendly and the prices are really good. Highly recommend!

Great brisket! Broth was excellent.

Waited over an hour and a half and received nothing but a glass of water. Asked the waiter how much longer at the 1 hour mark and he said a couple of minutes. Half an hour later, still no food. The second time I asked the waiter how long our food would be, because I am a diabetic and needed to eat, he went to enquire in the kitchen. Someone came out, showed me the order the waiter had written, and said he couldnt understand his wrIting. They hadnt even started on our order. So we left and went somewhere else. Im not normally the kind of person who walks out in a huff but this was the worst service Ive received at a restaurant in 54 years. Maybe the food is great; I will never find out.

complimentary sides like bean sprouts, basil, peppers, and limes. The service was nonexistent and we had to write down our order ourselves. The wait was almost an hour long and even after, they mixed up our order multiple times.

Waiting time too long , took 1hr, rude server , cold food , chicken was too cold inside. Highly not recommend. DO NOT COME!

1 hour waiting for foods, when it came out meat was cold, I did complained with the server guy and he brought the food inside put in the microwave. He showed his attitude with our table with no respect at all. Please do not come here, we can t stand their attitude. Really unprofessional. Plus, the next table came after but got the food before us. They finished their food and paid when we were still waiting. Please take my review seriously. Do not come here.

This is a terrible restaurant I havent seen before. We wrote the order by ourselves, and the food was still frozen inside. We waited 1 hour for our food. One more serious thing he yelled to our friends she was just a small girl. He told me he worked for a Restaurant for 38 years but his cooking and serving that was beginner. DONT COME THIS RESTAURANT this gonna waste your guys TIME and MONEY.

Fresh ingredients but void of flavor and the service was subpar.

My Pho Tai Nam was delicious! The fried wontons and sauce were also super yummy! Only down side was my order took a long time but I think only one staff was working.

This was my first visit. I really enjoyed the quality of the food. Delicious flavours, big spring rolls, all presented well. My only disappointment was the portion size of the Pho. Service was kind, and I enjoyed some great conversations with the waiter. Grateful they were open on a holiday to serve my cravings. Thank you Saigon Cuisine.

Ordered take out and was greeted by the friendliest man. He was so happy for the business. I wasn t able to eat the meal for an hour and it was still so good and full of flavor. I got the grilled pork and spring roll vermicelli. Highly recommend. Would eat there again anytime.

Super tasty! My family really enjoyed it

Incredibly delicious food.

This place goes above and beyond. Genuine small local restaurant with great customer service. They really seem to care about their customers and make great dishes. Food is always ready quickly and you can actually talk to someone on the phone to order rather than using an impersonal app. Definitely my wifes favorite.

On a recommendation from a friend, my husband and I stopped by for our lunch. This restaurant is fabulous! The food was excellent (definitely try the Spring Rolls & Wonton soup), it was immaculately clean (including the bathrooms), the service was outstanding. There is absolutely nothing that one could criticize. Definitely our new Go To for Asian food.

Our favourite place to go for Vietnamese food in Charlottetown. The food is always so fresh and delicious! The atmosphere inside is warm and inviting and Lam always has a smile on his face.

Authentic Vietnamese cuisine in an elegant setting with friendly and attentive owner

We had a amazing Pho!! Meat is super tender and the soup is a perfection for the cold weather!! We ll definitely come back :)

really really great iced coffee, and a super friendly owner :)

Great owners and food

Amazing, delicious food with courteous friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Delicious Vietnamese food, I came here twice during my visit to PEI. Friendly owner, great service, will be back next time Im on the island.

Best Thai food in town, clean place and friendly service

I stopped in for lunch to get the beef brisket pho and whoo boy was it ever tasty! Nice portion, the flavour was 10/10, and the broth wasnt face-meltingly hot so I could actually eat it when it arrived. Will definitely visit again next time Im in town.

Good service and good food. The food quality is better than a typical Vietnamese restaurant in Toronto, Canada. Highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious and great service.

The solid reviews brought us here away from all the touristy spots. Well worth the short walk through an historic residential district. We walked in between normal meal times and were greeted and sat with warm smiles. My 10yo got adventurous ordered a large platter. She was given a wonderfully helpful tutorial on how to properly eat it. Just an excellent dining experience all around.

AMAZING!. Very good food. Pho was a dream. Spring rolls were incredible. Totally recommendable.

Delicious Vietnamese food, friendly service, and pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Excellent Vietnamese food! Great value for your money. Could not have asked for better customer service. Very clean, comfortable and affordable.

Warm welcome, and delicious food.

The atmosphere felt so calming and peaceful and the waiter was also so nice All the food was delicious too; my favourite was the vermicelli with grilled pork and spring rolls!

delicious pho and veggie spring rolls

Ok

Excellent Vietnamese Ph . Price is reasonable. clean, comfy and owner is extremely friendly & handsome

The best Vietnamese cuisine in Charlottetown. Foods are delicious and authentic. Highly recommend to try grilled beef wrapped in beter leaf

Delicious taste of Vietnamese cuisine.

Great PHO, a speciality from Vietnam. The owner is hospitable and welcoming. Good food and reasonable price. I have been here several times before going back to Sai Gon. I am proud of Vietnamese food, especially Pho. Come here enjoy once if you visit Charlottetown

Ordered the vermicelli with stir-fry beef, lemongrass and onion. Delicious. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend. Wish I was here longer to return and try more of their menu.

Good food and very clean place

We really enjoyed our meals here. All three of us ordered some version of noodle soups (pho with brisket, egg noodles with pork, pho with a variety of meats) and we happily slurped them all. The owner who served us was friendly and attentive. The restaurant is meticulously clean and the comfortable atmosphere was a good place for conversation with friends.

Amazing place for Vietnamese food, at a great price. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious regardless of whether or not it is take out or dine in. Anytime I go out to eat in town this place is top of my list, and for good reason.

This was one of the best food experiences on the island. Fresh food, tasted amazing.

Great service and excellent food... .reminded us of our trip to Vietnam. Tks Lim!

My favorite noodle store! And if you prefer vegetarian style, please try some of these at Saigon Cuisine: veggies spring roll, Toufu with veggies, vegetarian fried rice!

Great

Excellent all around

One of the only places to get Vietnamese-style grilled-beef rolls (bo la lot) and is delicious!

Delicious and authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The Pho chicken and stir fry were delicious. Also, attentive service. The Vietnamese woman who owns the business has decided to stay on PEI. We will be back to try other dishes.

Excellent Asian menu, choose the house specials. Very friendly and attentive service. Will go back.

Cozy place for comfort vietnamese food

Excellent and very friendly service. Pho and spring rolls were great

The food is as wonderful and authentic as the service. Will definitely be back soon!

Saigon is such a gem! The food is fresh, authentic and delicious. My girlfriend and I love this place. You will too...

Wow! Amazingly fresh and delicious with great service! Having moved to the maritimes from the Vancouver area four years ago, we sorely miss the diverse eateries, especially the various Asian cuisines. This, by far, has been the best Vietnamese food we ve had and we ve tried places in Saint John, Moncton and Halifax so far (as well as other places in Charlottetown). Seems like this is a well-kept secret because it s not as busy as it should be considering the calibre of the food. Highly recommend and definitely look forward to returning the next time we visit PEI.

Total rip off. Ordered Chicken Pho but the chicken was undercooked and smelly. Also did not come with any side, just chicken, broth and noodles and got charged full price. Do not recommend at all.

Loved the food and the owner was such a sweetheart! The pho broth is immaculate

Super good pho!

Fabulous experience!!! We are from another province and eat alot of Vietnamese food! It was the best Pork Spring rolls and Pho rare beef soup we have had. The owner was so welcoming and friendly, we will definitely be back!!

Very good

Excellent service, and very helpful staff with explaining the menu. Very delicious Pho

Great pho place!

Great place, great food and very friendly staff.

Delicious broth and friendly service!!

This place was great! Loved the fried rice, spring rolls and cheese wontons!

Amazing veggie noodle soup. Thank you!

Amazing feed, worth every penny

Good

I have to be honest, I presented this meat to the server and they said it was fine to eat. I requested a new bowl, they said no. I asked for a discount on the food, they said no. Cannot recommend this restaurant.

The food was so fresh and authentic. The staff were so sweet and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

It must try....!!!

Food was very fresh and delicious. If you are looking for authentic Vietnamese food, this is where to go

Authentic food, fabulous taste, very attentive and friendly services.

Authentic Vietnamese food, fantastic people

Delicious, fresh food. Friendly, attentive service.

Great food and great service! Only place that has authentic beef sausage

Our office staff went for lunch to celebrate a birthday. The owners and staff were friendly and very grateful for our business. All of the food was delicious and very filling. We even received free face masks and a coupon for a fee coffee or pop on our next visit. I would recommend 100%.

Delicious food! Outstanding service!

Authentic cuisine and friendly service

Stopped in for a late lunch, 5-star surprise. Fantastic food, excellent service, very clean, good location. First of many visits.

Great food , lovely decor I will definitely be back

Excellent food, authentic, attentive service. Very good value for money. This place is a gem!

We were introduced to Saigon Cuisine on Friday evening. What a treat!!! We had several dishes - all were wonderful. The Spring Rolls are just outstanding (so good, had to go back Saturday for a few more). Everything is spotless, including the kitchen. Lovely, friendly couple who deserve to do very well in Charlottetown. I challenge you to find better Vietnamese food.

Good food, good service

Stopped in with my wife and we loved it. They just opened and the food is fresh and service is great

Great food! Amazing service!

The food here is great and the service is amazing!!

The food is very delicious and brings back nostalgic memories of Vietnam. Would definitely recommend as a meal for any time of the day.

Clean and simple. Like the airy space. With hot pot equipment right on the table. Loved pho, fried rice(rice perfect doneness), shrimp rolls. They are all authentic and fresh. Shrimp rolls come with a real dipping sauce:) Watch out for peanut if you have allergies. Service is also very friendly and thoughtful.

The Vietnamese shaking beef is amazing.

The hotpot is so delicious.

The bún bò Hu is very good. The atmosphere is friendly and warm. The owner and server are veryyyyyyy welcoming. Love the restaurant!

I would highly recommend this restaurant. Great food, atmosphere and staff. Awesome addition to Charlottetown restaurant scene!

This place is a little gem! The food was fresh and delicious! The owners are very helpful, attentive and kind. Local Vietnamese food at its best!

Four of us just had a delicious meal at the family-owned and operated Saigon Bistro! Service was warm, friendly and attentive. Food was piping hot, tasty and fresh. We ordered the shrimp spring rolls, vegetarian fried rolls, chicken pho, vegetarian vermicelli bowl, pork and fried roll vermicelli bowl, hue spicy noodle soup and shaking beef. Yup. Four of us ate all of this and everything was absolutely delicious. Everything. So nice to support a young family chasing their dream and with each family member helping out. Kudos to them!!

Hidden gem as it on Prince Street. They just opened up in May. We had the hot pot and it was more than enough for 2 people. The owners are very nice. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Good service and delicious food !

More authentic than any other vietnamese restaurants Ive ever been to in Maritime. The owner family is very friendly and warm hearted. Try their iced coffee after your meal. Youll absolutely love it.

Delicious, great service.

Delicious food

The moment you walk in, youre welcomed with cute art that exemplifies Vietnamese culture. From the Xe Banh Mi painting, to the Vietnamese words on the wall. The restaurants seating arrangements were well spaced and everything was extremely clean. The wonderful aroma of star anise (pho) was floating in the air. My partner and I ordered three things off the menu: ginger beef, pho tai (pho with rare beef), and bun bo hue (hue style spicy noodle soup). The ginger beef was absolutely phenomenal. Sweet, with a hint of ginger. Not too overwhelming, and sauced just enough to give flavour to the onions and peppers that the beef was cooked with. The pho broth had a wonderful taste. Not too bland (unlike some of the other pho restaurants on the East Coast), but not too overwhelming with star anise (licorice) flavouring either. You can tell that the chef had made pho many times in their lifetime. The pho only comes with a little dipping sauce bowl containing hoisin and Sriracha. Not what Im used to (Im used to bean sprouts, herbs, limes, etc), but it doesnt really matter, as the broth was well worth just eating plain. The bun bo hue was also very flavourful and full of meat! The soup base was not too spicy, and had the soft lemongrass taste. Again, not too overwhelming, but not bland either. The family that runs the restaurant was also extremely friendly. They were very quick with taking orders, filling water, etc, and they also shared their stories of coming over to Canada! I will definitely come eat here again the next time Im on the island. Thanks for a great experience, Saigon Bistro! IG: @albert.eatstein

Great Pho and shrimp spring rolls.

Very good food! I loved the Ginger beef :) I really hope more people can discover this place! Thank you again!

Why this place isnt lined up out the door, I dont understand. Definitely on our list of places to come back to. You gotta eat here. Come meet the friendly family owners.

The place to go, wonderful food, and a great family running the restaurant.

Nice place, excellent food and fast service. When in Charlottetown, give it a go!

Visiting Charlottetown from BC, and was looking for something light. I had the pho with beef brisket, and it was really good with delicious broth. We also ordered the black pepper beef with rice, that is a dish is come back for if I lived locally! There was a lot of beef and not a dish youd leave hungry with. The service was great as well, run by genuinely nice people who you cant help like... They have only been around for a few months and I hope they do really well!

Owner is new arrival from Vietnam, hence the food is very authentic and great taste. Very lovely and friendly family. When you eat there, it feels like eating at home. Good food and great experience.

One of my party order the spicy beef soup, but the meat was green. I ordered pork, and the waiter came back a few minutes later to say they were out of that meat. Many of the items on the menu are only available on certain days.

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent people.

I m surprised the ratings aren t as high as they are. The family that runs this place is very friendly, however the bo bun hue was bland and lacked depth. This spring rolls and salad bowls were good though, which is why am giving the review three stars instead of two.
