Saigon Cafe

Just moved to the Jersey City area and Saigon Cafe is one of the first places we’ve tried… it did not disappoint! We started with the curry puffs which were 10/10 (I would go back just for these lol). I ordered the tamarind soup with salmon & it reminded me of a dish my mom makes… so good. My bf got the marinated pork from the noodle entrée section which tasted amazing. We also loved the tamarind margaritas and the taro dumpling dessert (mochi-like texture w/ a sweet coconut broth). Everything tasted authentic & comforting. Service was 10/10 and the staff gave great recommendations. Definitely coming back!

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Jersey City. Whenever people come to visit me I make sure to bring them by. The manager Steve is great and his family are very nice, kind, and personable people. I really love the chicken satay and the beef or chicken rendang. Great if you are looking for a quiet relaxing place with excellent food. Also their whisky list is extensive. Thanks Jason

I get delivery from here often. It’s one of my go-to spots for Vietnamese food. I always get the fresh spring rolls. The peanut sauce is spot on and the shrimp is fresh. You can never go wrong with this appetizer. The beef vermicelli is really good too. Love all the fresh vegetables they use and the pickled radishes and carrots are absolutely mouthwatering.

This neighborhood spot is quite nice. They offer a good selection of dishes, but the flavors are just average, and the prices are a bit steep compared to other places. On the bright side, the service is excellent. Our server offered helpful suggestions for customizing any dishes how we wanted. We ordered summer rolls (good and freshly prepared), veggie Asian noodle with beef broth (they initially gave me chicken broth and changed it to beef broth) and chao ga was good with extra veggies on the side. In general, the food was decent, and the standout service definitely enhances the experience, even though we found it slightly pricey.

Saigon Cafe is one of my favorite restaurants in downtown JC! I’ve been coming here for 4 years and it’s always my go to spot for takeout, though dine-in is a wonderful experience as well with stellar service & staff. I’m gluten free and I appreciate the knowledge they have around that and the fact that they have plenty gluten free options and can modify most dishes to be gluten free. I’ve tried many dishes from here but my favorites are their rice porridge, chicken meatball soup, and mango salad. Cannot emphasize enough how friendly the staff is. Every interaction is kind and helpful. Some may say the prices are high, but in my opinion they are justified by the high quality food and A+ service. Highly recommend!
