Saigon Rose

We had family visit and booked a table at Saigon Rose. Lucky we did, as this place was very busy. The service was very fast, friendly and attentive. The entrees and mains also came out quite quickly. All of our dishes were a hit with the family. From the spring rolls to Barramundi special and the duck with plum sauce.

Food was OK but nothing special. My wife's wok fried seafood noodles were topped with defrosted, mushy, and flavorless vegetables, and equally chewy and flavorless seafood. We had to go eat somewhere else after as she couldn't eat more than a few bites. The Bún wasn't bad. The place itself was only half full yet deafeningly loud. Service was good. Overall, hard to recommend with so many other good options on Chapel st.

Went to Saigon Rose in Chapel St Prahran last Saturday night for dinner. It has changed hands and the service was terrible. First of all there was NO Heating in the restaurant and it was FREEZING in there. Second, our entrée dishes were wrong, only received 3 out of 4 we ordered, other dishes were sent to our table we didn't order. Then there was the main dishes, again wrong dishes sent to our table and they missed 2 main dishes. The rice that came out with our main dishes was cold. Will definitely NOT RETURN. Was not just our table, there were other tables that had the same problems ALL NIGHT. Check your bill at the end as they tried to charge us for the dishes we never received. I have to tick one star but it was not worth even that.

I've only ever ordered takeaway from here, and Saigon Rose does some of the most delicious Vietnamese food I've tasted in Melbourne. Their curries are packed with delicious ingredients and every mouthful is full of a burst of flavours. While I can't pass comment on their venue or service, I can't speak highly enough of the food!

I know Vietnamese restaurants in Melbourne and this is not the best. Only if you are stuck in South Yarra. No offense to the service, which is perfectly polite, and the interior which is lovely, and the atmosphere is even not bad... The servings are too small. We ordered crispy fried noodles with vegetables and it was really really small for fifteen dollars for a main, it was not enough to fill me, and I am a very small woman who weighs about 50 kg, and I don't even eat much. If you want a really good standard meal you will travel out to Victoria Street Richmond. The problem is probably there is not enough competition for Vietnamese food on Chapel, perhaps some of the clientele can't tell the difference, but I know many can, and I am not the first to mention the poor value for money. Tiny portions. I really don't know how they could have gotten four stars rating! Some people must be their friends, or they don't know any better.

Brilliant Vietnamese. Been coming here for 15+ years and it only seems to get better. Service is prompt and unassuming, really clean, nice decor and great value for money. You can't look past: Beef Lalop, salt n pepper rockling (#thabest), fried rice. Best Vietnamese in South Yarra or Prahran #handsdown #definitelyhighlyrecommended

Saigon Rose has been a staple for myself, friends and family for years! The food is always fantastic and fresh, the staff are friendly, polite and attentive - a rarity down Chapel Street these days. The ambience is soothing and comforting. Smart casual dress which is great for a simple dinner or a celebration.
