It’s not the best Vietnamese restaurant for sure, but somehow it’s alluring for us to be there every time in town, especially for the steamed oysters.

Timeless Curry Crab at Saigon Star. 西贡星 in Richmond Hill never fails to impress, especially with their sautéed curry crab (咖喱炒蟹). This dish is a must-have—no matter how many years pass, you’ll still find yourself loving it just as much as the first time. The crab is fresh, the curry sauce is rich and flavorful, and every bite is simply unforgettable. It’s a true classic that keeps us coming back. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great seafood and authentic flavors!

Relaxed atmosphere. Get a booth seat. The staff are helpful with their explanations and prompt service. Good food. It's been a staple in the area. We got curry and also a cutlet. The fried rice is really nice and take the sauce home to continue to marinate.

First time coming here. Glad we did. Service was awesome and attentive. The food was amazing 😍 there was nothing we didn't like from the multitude of dishes our table of 8 ordered. Will definitely try out the signature curry crab and bun bo hue next time. Theres a combo special as well for soup, app and drink. Prices were wayy decent for the amount of food and how good it was. They even threw in free red bean dessert for us at the end. 10/10 would definitely recommend. It's our go to pho place now.

The curry crab was pretty tasty. Lots of time other places make curry either too spicy or too sweet. Curry here is very fragrant with a slight hint of coconut flavour, yet not too overpowering. The baguette is a must with the curry crab. Very crispy outside and super soft inside. We had 3 of them! The Hainanese chicken can be passed. The rice was not super fresh. It’s already crusted up. Could have been made the night before. The soup was pho soup instead of chicken broth. And it’s missing the all important chili sauce. Also had anchovy eggplant and it was pretty good as well.

Our family road tripped from Chicago to Toronto this week, and my dad was especially excited for the great Chinese and Asian cuisine Toronto offers. Seeing the menu of Saigon Star piqued his interest, so we all decided to have our last meal here before we left. Ricky, our server, was very friendly! We ordered the fresh baked oysters and wow, it was incredibly delicious! We also ordered the curry crab and the sauce was amazing, especially with rice. Overall, we had a lovely experience. If we ever find ourselves back in Toronto, we’ll be sure to visit again. Thank you!

This is the best Vietnamese restaurant in town. Their famous curry crab was divine, took leftover curry sauce which is coconut based..to relish it the next day :) All the other dishes was done right. The service is extremely friendly.. overall experience : wonderful!! The dining area is little bit cramped.

We went there for the curry crab and it didn't disappoint us, except that it's a bit on the salty side. A 10-15% salt reduction would be just perfect!. We ended up putting in a second order. The combo for six was a good way to sample the various dishes, since you can enjoy seafood, pork, chicken, veggies and soup. We also appreciate the friendly service. One final thing is that the air quality in the dining room needs to be improved.

Phenomenal Vietnamese restaurant with a large variety of very tasty meals from South East Asia. I really enjoyed their pho and the Thai platter, which had so many options! Ricky was an amazing server, who was very attentive and anticipated our needs, without being overbearing, and always with a smile! Thanks for making our dinner great! Vegetarian options: A number of delicious options! Dietary restrictions: Very cognizant of the peanut allergy in our group, despite its prominence in some South East Asian cuisines. Parking: Parking all around the restaurant. Busy strip mall! Kid-friendliness: High chairs available

Great pho and cocktails! Had the hand squeezed pineapple margarita and Viet coffee martini and they were incredible. Shoutout to Ricky for the cocktail creations and his incredible service, he helped take great care of our fussy young niece while we were here. Attentive staff and delicious food. Nothing more we could ask for. Will definitely make the trip out to come for their Special Beef Pho and whatever new item they have on their cocktail menu

Was very disappointed on my first ever visit to Saigon Star. I know this restaurants been here for ages and figure it is pretty reliable in terms of food and its service. Ordered a few phos, curry crab, grilled chicken rice and grilled pork chop rice. First off, the phos that arrived were just warm. The noodle itself was probably cooked way beforehand because they were clumped together and was never recooked before serving therefore the soup was cold at the table. Rather then cooking us new hot phos they opt to just microwave the bowl of pho instead. The curry crab if im not mistaken was suppose to be hot, but it was cold at the table. Grilled chicken on rice arrived at the table with the chicken still not fully cooked. We had advise the staff that day and they told us that the food is usually cooked and shouldnt be a problem despite it still being very pink. Parking: plenty of parking available.

The place is not too big but the service is top notch. We tried the house specialty curry crab, amazing, highly recommended, the 84.95+tax was so worth it. The grilled jumbo prawn is okay, 13-14dollar a piece. We ordered the grilled pork chop and grilled chicken with rice for the kids, they enjoyed it. All in all worth the trip all the way from. Mississauga. Spent an hour to get there and another to go home. Will surely revisit them someday. Ouw the parking was full at the time we arrived around 12.30ish but they have underground parking which was free for 3 hour limit. So parking shouldnt be a problem, too if you decide to go there.

If youre seeking an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, this isnt the best choice. It combines Chinese and Vietnamese cuisines. The food quality is not special, and the service is below average. My husband ordered the Steamed Rice with Grilled Pork and Chicken, which was supposed to come with a small cup of fish sauce. He requested an extra cup of fish sauce and some napkins from the waiter, but despite waiting until we finished our meal and went to pay, they still hadnt brought them. The waiter completely ignored our request. Even though we arrived at 3:00 p.m, the restaurant wasnt busy; there were only three other tables of customers. Another dish is Seafood Laksa noodles, contained an excessive amount of monosodium glutamate (MSG), an unhealthy additive. Im allergic to MSG, and on the way home, I developed a stiff neck, nausea, and felt very uncomfortable. Overall, we were thoroughly dissatisfied with our dining experience and wont be returning.

Been to this restaurant a few times, mostly for take out. The curry crab is usually fantastic, pho is average, but today we got the curry beef and it was so tough and chewy, basically inedible. Im only giving this a 3 star taking into account the past positive experiences Ive had here. The curry beef is a 1 star.

★★★★★
July 22, 2024

This place has been around for about 30 years and Ive been here since it opened. The quality of food and price is proportional compared to other places, but not too expensive unless you order seafood. The hai nan chicken rice is always on point with 3 different dipping sauces, coconut rice, and the chicken is deboned and cooked to the exact temperature that does not over cook the meat at all which makes the meat the most tender. The portion will fill you up so you cant eat any more Parking: There are many parking spots lined around the restaurant, but since the plaza gets busy after 6pm, its easier to find parking around 5:30pm or before.

Spring rolls really hard. Cannot even bite?

July 22, 2024

To start we were served visibly dirty chopsticks that when wiped down on a napkin had a visible black/brown film come off, we were then served a side of beef rib that was 99% fat and barely edible, the spring rolls were pretty decent though. Once our pho arrived it was flavourless & bland aswell as the beef in the pho being stiff as a board. While the pho is affordable I was practically mad that I had to pay for nearly inedible food with tiny portions. I really don t recommend coming here

Local Guide
July 22, 2024

Eat expensive food. Otherwise you can not be treated as customer. I have ordered pho but they did not serve such vegetable as bean sprout which is normally comes together. I thought the waitress forgot it to serve first so I asked them to give it. They said they do not have it today. They have however brought it without saying any sorry. Their attitude was never sorry either.

Saigon Star is hands down one of my favourite restaurants. The manager and staff are friendly and respectful. We discovered Saigon star over 12 years ago, and it instantly went to the top of my list. My favourite dish is the lemon grass black pepper crab, delish! We also always get purple basil clams, pineapple rice, and mint basil eggplant. They have a great drink menu, too! Saigon Star is a good 40 mins from where I live if there is no traffic, but its so worth the drive. It has never disappointed! Parking: The parking lot can be quite busy at tomes. We have always found a parking spot though. Kid-friendliness: I have seen many families with children of all ages here.

July 22, 2024

As soon as we walked in the restaurant it felt very oily. Sat down at the table you can feel the chair is very filthy! We didnt order much since all of us felt very uncomfortable and just want to leave. Chicken satay werent cooked properly. It was raw in the middle! Very disappointed in the whole experience. Staff were friendly though

I will definitely return to sample the rest of their menu and cocktails.

Service was fast and efficient. Pho and 2 sides for $18.99. Portions were small, not alot of noodles were given, only 2 chicken wings and 1 spring roll. A good option if you are in the area but not worth it if you live far away. Free parking available.

Saw they came up with a recent pho combo deal that was advertised for all day offering. Came here to try and was not offered the menu upon sitting down. Asked for it and they said we don t normally do this for dinner but will offer you anyways since you asked .i was so confused and a few items were out of stock .ok. Ordered and added extra for the viet coffee. Tasted like watered down coffee not the drip viet coffee that you d expect as it came in literally a minute. Ordered curry brisket also and was sooo stiff. Ain t coming back not worth the promo hype.

Came to check this place out with a group of friends after seeing a video about their Value Combo Specials on social media. First observation is how crowded the dining area is and how tight the entrance and hallways are. There is not much space to move around, especially when waiting for a table or getting to a table. The flow of traffic to get in and out the place is horrible since the entrance area is literally so small, and the aquarium is located beside the doors and hallway to the washroom. The cash register is right in front of a few large tables and to get into the rest of the the dining area you will have to walk in between it. Atmosphere: 1 out of 5 There was no greeters when we walked in and a worker coming out the kitchen just gave us a side eye. It seemed like we walked in during a busy Sunday lunch hour, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt that the workers were just occupied (looked like they were under staffed as well). We tried to get the attention of one of the workers and he completely just ignored us, later finding out that he barely spoke any english and did not understand us. Finally a worker sho spoke English was able to attend to us but we had to wait for a table since a few needed to be cleaned up. Our friends had to wait outside due to the limited space. We were finally seated after another 10 minutes. The server who came to take our order was very nice and accomodating. He did however missed 2 of our orders but was able to correct it before the end of our visit, which I commend. Service 2 out of 5 The food was the only saving grace for our dine-in lunch experience. My wife and I ordered 2 combo specials, I got the Spicy beef hue noodle soup with Vietnamese spring roll & calamari as sides. While, my wife got the House special beef pho with the thai mango salad & veggie spring roll as her sides. The broth forbthe Spicy Beef Hue was very hearty with the right amlunt of spice and the meat portions and meal sizes were perfect. However, we did feel the sides are bit too small and the pho did not come with any other condiments (like basil leaves, lime, or been sprouts that you usually get in any pho places) other than the onions in the soup, and the hoisin sauce and sriracha on the table. My wife also mentioned that the broth tasted very greasy / fatty, compared to other pho broth she has tasted. For these reasons I rate the food a 3 out of 5. I rate our overall visit experience a 2 out of 5. Dietary restrictions: Seafood and nuts Parking: Location is located in a busy plaza with free parking. However parking lot can get very busy especially on weekends.

You might have heard of @saigonstar_to because of their famous curry crab , but their other dishes are also amazing, such as their signature beef pho and seafood laksa! Whats even better is that their combo costs only $18.99, which includes a noodle soup and two sides! Their mocktails are also stunning with a refreshing taste. Their mango smoothie and yogurt drinks pair so well with their savory dishes! Saigonstar will be undergoing a renovation, so look forward to their new menu. Rest assured that their famous curry crab will still be available! When people come to Sai Kung for food, they usually eat crab curry, but this time I recommend you try their pho combo. You can get pho and 2 snacks for only $18.99, a great deal! I particularly like their beef pho, which is very filling and the soup base is delicious. In addition, I especially want to praise their Hainanese chicken, which is excellent and the chicken is so tender. It is considered one of the best Hainanese chicken restaurants I have ever eaten in Toronto~

They have a new menu combo for $18.99 that includes a noodle soup and 2 appetizers. Its a pretty good deal and the apps were solid, especially loved the squash fritters.

This restaurant has been here for decades which tells you something. They serve Vietnamese fine dining rather than the more common pho and lemongrass chicken/pork, etc. Famous for several dishes including the curry crab. We didnt have anything fancy this time more just a casual dinner but the food was well made and tasty. In particular the rack of lamb, Vietnamese spring rolls, green beans, and roasted chicken were all very good. Service was pleasant and courteous. Overall good experience. Recommended

My cousin and I went here for dinner. We ordered two Value Pho Combos starting at $18.99, which come with two sides each. I got the House Special Beef Pho with Vietnamese Spring Roll and Salted Egg Calamari. My cousin, on the other hand, got Seafood Laksa Noodle Soup with Grilled Short Ribs and Veggie Spring Rolls. The House Special Beef Pho tasted really good but wasn t particularly special until I added their chili oil. It was so good that I finished it quickly. The Vietnamese spring rolls were okay; I felt they needed more seasoning in the filling. The Salted Egg Calamari was good, but I wish it had been cooked less to make it more tender instead of chewy. The Seafood Laksa Noodle Soup was so good that I wished I had ordered it instead of the regular pho. Overall, the value was really good, even though the appetizers were small. It was still very filling. In my opinion, the customer service was okay. It would have been better if they had been more attentive. Most of the time, we were calling them and getting ignored. However, they were very kind.

Food was good and better than expected and restaurant was packed. We ordered the special combo and our waitress asked if we wanted drinks for $2 and we said no, as we didnt like the selection. She was pushy and insisted we get drinks and pushed the drinks menu at us, saying $2 so we ordered fruit shakes. When our bill came, the drinks were $9 each, more than what was listed on the regular drinks menu. I was not impressed and certainly dont appreciate being lied to for one and charged for more than what was on the menu.

Saigon Star This restaurant has been here for as long as I can remember. It s been a staple at the plaza. I came here for dinner on a weekend around 6pm. The restaurant was not busy but had multiple large tables. Based on the friendly conversations, a lot of people were regulars at the restaurant. This is a positive sign that their food, service, and reputation must be good. The menu was a mix of multiple Asian cuisines from Vietnamese, Cantonese, and Malaysian. I ordered the Mango salad and Laksa soup noodles. The mango salad was quite disappointing. It was a small Vietnamese salad with a few thin slices of mango on top. I get the sense no one orders this and they had to make due in the back kitchen. The Laksa soup noodle was more authentic. Hearty soup, noodles, and seafood. I noticed that most people ordered the curry crab, so perhaps they are known for their curry sauce.

I eat here maybe once every couple of months. 99 percent of the time i get the curry crab. The other 1 percent i get is an assorment of Vietnam dishes from pho to bun. All very very good. You pay a bit more but service is always great and food is always consistent. If you go during dinner time its best to make a reservation especially if you have a party.

Don t go here if you re looking for authentic viet food. This fusion style is a more expensive worst tasting Vietnamese dishes. The pho, vermicelli and pad Thai are over priced and taste like the ones you can get a food court.

Absolutely fantastic Vietnamese food in Richmond Hill! Their ingredients are fresh and the dishes are so innovative and unique. You will not find any curry crab better in the GTA. We got their signature crab, appetizer platter with spring rolls, rice rolls, chicken and beef, marinated pork with rice vermicelli, oysters, and their Viet sweet and sour soup. Everything was fantastic!!!! Service is fast, parking is ample, and the restaurant is clean. All the servers were so friendly and offered to take photos of us without us asking first. I had to stop midway eating to write a review because I was so impressed!

The most expensive lobster I ever have... They mark the price for seafood is seasonal on their menu. The lobster is $29. 99/lbs in the supermarket. In their restaurant, a lobster around 2lbs without weighted, was charged $100, seems the lobster is in their water tank for long time, although still alive, it is more skinny when it is cooked, no meat at all. Dont order their lobster and dont recommend the restaurant too.

It has been many years since our last visit. Nothing has changed. The curry crab is still top notch (market priced).

Vietnamese restaurant and with a variety of Asian food as well. Went to try the curry crab and it was REALLY good! The dish was well presented and really flavoursome. I have to use the phase finger licking good to illustrate my experience. Ordered their roti to go with the curry crab as it was so good dunking the roti into the sauce. It can get messy, really glad they provided us with bibs and gloves to eat the curry crab. Also tried their pineapple fried rice, that was great too. Overall a lovely experience, and the staff are great. Plenty of seating available and a really lovely experience!

Stopped here for a late lunch after an appointment in the same building and what a find! The service was excellent. The staff were very nice and super attentive. The portions were generous. Hubby was so pleasantly surprised by the amount of brisket in his pho. My meats were perfectly grilled and the egg perfectly crispy. Food came out nice and hot. Its a tiny bit dated, but very clean. Will definitely be back when we are in the area again!
