Saigon Kitchen

By far, the best Vietnamese restaurant on the planet! Try the beef rolls! Crunchy texture on the inside and delicious. The hot and sour soup is made with pure tamarind and pineapple. It's a real WOW surprise with the first bite. Next, the crepes are a must! Crunchy, tasty, delightful. And the staff is pure love. The owner Ray makes you feel like you are the most important person in the room!!

My daughter and I were visiting Nanaimo and I wanted to take her for a special little dinner...just the 2 of us.
We googled to find for a place to go with good reviews and found Saigon Kitchen.
We walked into a happening little spot and were greeted by a lovely woman and a few other staff members.
They got us a table right away and we're prompt with our drinks.
We decided on a beef pho and a spring roll meal for the two of us to share.
The food was on the table within 10 mins...I was surprised as they were so busy!
We were so pleased with the quality, flavors and presentation.
I have eaten Vietnamese hundreds of times and this place did not disappoint!
The pho was phenomenal !!!
The spring rolls were very good and the salad fresh!
My daughter was so happy with the food too.
Halfway through the owner Ray came out for a walk through and guest check...he was very kind and happy to see and meet his guests.
We ended up taking a few minutes talking with Ray and he was my daughters new buddy...even offered her more soup to take home...super nice!

We had a great experience and that was my whole point of taking just my girl out for a mommy & daughter treat.

Thank you so much Ray!

Next time I will bring my family...hopefully soon as now I am craving more!

Service is great. The broth of pho is on the sweeter side, not my cup of tea. Ingredients were fresh.

Best authentic Pho in town.PERIOD. yummy food,reasonable price, excellent customer service, nice atmosphere.(Opinion from a person who would choose instant noodle over
Vietnamese soup anywhere else in nanaimo)

I highly recommend this place to everyone if you would like to look for a good Vietnamese cuisine in town. Staffs are very friendly. Restaurant which is also an opened kitchen is super clean and comfortable atmosphere. Also, the lady, who works at the front desk with big smile always, is extremely kind and helpful 😊😊
