What Jason L likes about Vietnamese Saigon Star:
Food is really good, especially the squid and vegetables and chicken cashew. Wife says that it has the best coconut drink she has had. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend. View all feedback. What Aisha Kulas doesn't like about Vietnamese Saigon Star:
Average vermicelli salad and a little bit over priced. The place was empty when we were there and we had poor service as they took 15-20mins to come and serve us and then took ages for our food to come as well. View all feedback.

Saigon Star restaurant in Darwin has received mixed reviews recently. While some customers were disappointed with the service and food quality, others praised the friendly staff and delicious cuisine. The vermicelli salad and pho were not up to par for some, with one reviewer mentioning that the meat was not great quality. However, other customers raved about the authentic flavors of dishes like sizzling Mongolian beef and pho. The restaurant seems to be hit or miss, with some diners impressed by the gluten-free options and willingness of the chef to accommodate special requests. Overall, Saigon Star offers a taste of Vietnam in the Northern Territory, with some customers eager to return for more.
