What tangojohnDallas doesn't like about Saigon Square:
I have been in Melbourne for 12 days and tried many restaurants. This is by far the worst taste and quality of any Asian food i have had staying here. Just a few blocks away in the Chinatown area you will be better pleased. View all feedback. What Reynolds Gaw likes about Saigon Square:
I ordered the vermicelli salad bowl with grilled chicken and it was absolutely delicious, filled with an abundance of fresh vegetables. The service was top-notch, with the cashier and workers being polite and approachable. I would definitely recommend this dish. View all feedback.

In a city known for its diverse and delicious dining options, this particular Asian restaurant in Melbourne failed to impress several food reviewers. One customer described the taste and quality of the food as the worst they had experienced during their 12-day stay in the city, recommending Chinatown as a better alternative for Asian cuisine. Another reviewer was disappointed by the lackluster beef pho, with tough meat and bland broth that seemed to lack authenticity. A different customer was unimpressed by their bo la lot noodle salad, feeling that they had essentially paid for a bowl of bean sprouts with little flavor. Similarly, a banh mi sandwich was criticized for its lack of essential ingredients, such as fresh bread and pate, leaving the customer unsatisfied. However, not all experiences were negative, as one customer enjoyed a vermicelli salad bowl with grilled chicken and praised the fresh vegetables and great service provided by the polite and approachable staff. Overall, while this restaurant may have some redeeming qualities, it seems that there are better dining options available in Melbourne for those seeking a truly authentic and satisfying Asian meal.
