I have visited most of Vietnamese restaurants that are top rated Times out but this one, Saigon Saigon has impressed me best so far and I have no hesistance to give it 5* as I find it more impressed to me with food quality, ambience and service . May be I do not look for the cheap eats. We totally enjoyed our Vietnamese meals here and to be honest some dishes are far better than those we had in Vietnam. Anyway this is just my own comments. Thanks Saigon Saigon....and thanks Time out.

I am originally from Poland and attended this restaurant with 2 friends. We found the staff to be very rude and unfriendly. The lighting was very dim and we could not read the menu. We asked for help and were hissed at. There was a minor problem in that they do not take Amex. I then paid by cash and was not even offered a thank you. I think this is not a good place to eat anymore. I had visited twice in 2011 and it was OK but this time the portions were smaller and the staff turned me off ever returning there.

I am surprised to see the Times out review to this restaurant. To be fair, I thought this is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in London during my research (paid for by commission of Oriental food in Europe). In contrast, this is the top for the quality and league for Vietnamese restaurant in London. Where else you find the 'Beurre Bretel' taste in the UK ? I never ever had a bad meal in this place and It is always full.

We have just been back to this place at the weekwend. Great food , great variety still with consitency , especially this time, the best Pho in town ( we never had the same quality at any place on the 'Pho miles'). For short, it looks expensive than those cafes in the East, but if you can afford a good meal, this is highly recommended. I find it reasonable and probably the least expensive one on Chiswick high street.

Great food but grumpy waiter, food took along time to come out but no apology or explanation given. Shame as the food is lovely and fresh but the service really let them down.

I am something of a newbie to Vietnamese cuisine, but as I am moving to Ho Chi Minh City I thought I'd better get acquainted with the food (and get in some chopstick practice too). The food was DIVINE! Beef Pho... mmm! Everything was deliciously fresh and cooked to perfection! And the portions were substantial. My friend and I left feeling rather stuffed but not in a bad way. I'm not accustomed to London dining prices so I can't say if it was very expensive in comparison to other London restaurants (I live in Nottingham) but I don't think we paid too much for the meal, as we did have three courses and two rounds of beer. Also, the restaurant staff were lovely. Charming, helpful and very understanding of my lack of food experience. One man even corrected my appalling Vietnamese pronunciation.

If Time Out only concentrates on the food quality, service and location for their comments, there would be no comparison between Saigon Saigon with other cafe based restaurants in the East of London. I agree Saigon Saigon is a completely different league but having been there I can say it is with higher standard for food,service and atmosphere. **** is NOT the fair evaluation when compared with other ***** ones ?
