Saigon Restaurant in Mannheim

Very good Vietnamese cuisine, but I must note that the value for money is rather below average. Some incomprehensible service and a rather chilly atmosphere combine with very good food, but at a rather high price. If both are adjusted to the desired levels, the price is justified. At lunchtime, there is a lunch menu with missing dishes, as well as the regular menu.

The restaurant is cozy, and the service was friendly and attentive. I had the Coconut Kiss mocktail, which was quite good. Nice and fresh, but not too sweet. Next came the noodles with coconut sauce. Pleasantly creamy, with a solid flavor, but not necessarily a highlight. Finally, I had the steamed cake, which was also good, especially if you like soft, sweet desserts. The portion was only small. The prices are fair, and overall, the food was definitely good. Maybe nothing that blew me away, but still a pleasant visit with a relaxed atmosphere.

Fine Vietnamese cuisine, except for the fish – that looks terrible! Small portions, you hardly get full!! Very high premium prices!

Overall price/performance ratio is not right, which is a shame.

An authentic Vietnamese restaurant with very friendly service. Delicious dishes! A wide selection of dishes. The atmosphere is a bit chilly, with little traditional decor. The music is subtle, making for a pleasant conversation.

Absolutely. Delicious food, attentive service—that's how it should be.

We were here for the first time yesterday and were absolutely thrilled. The staff was super friendly and took a lot of time with us. For starters, we had the mixed platter for two – everything on it was delicious, especially the dips! I've been a fan of peanut sauce ever since – it was absolutely amazing. For the main course, we had hotpot. The broth smelled and tasted amazing, but could have been a bit spicier for our taste. The menu said "spicy," but unfortunately, it wasn't quite that spicy. But that wasn't a problem – we simply added fresh chilies and sambal oelek, and voila: perfect! Meat, shrimp, squid, and vegetables – all fresh and delicious. The dips were also top-notch, especially the dark one with soy sauce. We also had pointed cabbage salad and sprout salad – both really good and went perfectly with the hotpot. What was particularly cool was that one of the staff members calmly explained to us how to eat hotpot – really nice and helpful. Overall, we felt really comfortable. You can tell that they care about making their guests feel comfortable. The prices are absolutely reasonable, too. Great shop, delicious food, great team – we'll definitely be back!

Food plentiful and tasty (duck and chicken), go try it, recommendation

Very nice restaurant with delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere

The restaurant is very nice and spacious. The food was tasty but not breathtaking, which is why I think the prices are a bit too high. Unfortunately our starter was forgotten and we waited a very long time for our food. But we were very kindly apologized and we were given the main course and the starter together. I think it's a bit of a shame that the food isn't presented beautifully but comes in small pots and you have to throw it together yourself. It just doesn't look that nice, and I also think you can never get enough rice for two people. Unfortunately, the yellow curry was very spicy, even though it wasn't labeled, but maybe I'm too sensitive myself. As an apology we received a small dessert on the house. The staff was always very friendly and accommodating. All in all, it's worth a visit, but the experience was below my expectations.

The food and the ambience were very good. When we wanted to order an espresso at the end, it was around 1:55 p.m., the waiter came with the menu and pointed out that the opening times would end at 2 p.m. That was extremely unprofessional and dismissive towards the guest. It's a shame...

Nice place with very nice staff and a decent lunch offer

I'm sorry but I was very disappointed. The waiter a man was very annoying and wanted us to order all the time even though we weren't ready he came very close and tapped the menu with his finger it was unpleasant. The food was nothing special, I expected much more. The ambience had little to do with Saigon and looked more like a conference hall No recommendation

Had a buffet meal and was very disappointed. Most of it was almost cold and the breaded chicken was totally dry.

The portions were small, the price was too high, it was impossible to pay for a master or visa with a card, they asked for cash and forgot to bring out a printed invoice. It seemed like they were trying to deceive us, but in the end they gave us a bill, but we only had to pay in cash.

Very very friendly team. Food good but not fantastic. Priced too high for my taste. You pay for the ambience. But for me that's a little underwhelming. However, this is somewhat compensated for by the great service.

Expecting I’m going to a decent nice restaurant unfortunately I found an environment quite disappointing. You sunk into the seats which made sitting very uncomfortable. The food was quite nice but for me atmosphere and food together is key.

Authentic Vietnamese food and it tastes superb 👌

Authentic and very tasty. Rather expensive. Air conditioning available. Attentive service. Rather cool furnishings, but high quality.

Were there for dinner. 2 dishes (soups) were very overcooked, very soft noodles), 2x tofur rolls were very bland, hardly any sauce on top, 1x red curry was very praised as was number 54, neck steak with omelette, salad, rice. The vegetarian eggplant pot was also okay, only the oyster mushrooms were very overcooked. So you have to be lucky with your dish, we actually expected more at these prices. It's a shame 🤷‍♀️

Always very happy! Friendly service, excellent cuisine, best service.

Definitely too expensive, medium service but nice atmosphere. I wouldn't come again and wouldn't recommend it...

Delicious food. Enjoy some nice wine and a Vietnamese coffee with a little salt and ice. Very special but everything super tasty and very friendly service. We'll come again.

The food was super tasty, fresh and crunchy and deliciously seasoned with fresh herbs. The service was very friendly and gave us good advice regarding the choice of food,

Go again? -> yes, definitely! Food has many facets to suit every taste. Large portions, good contrasts; Inviting smell, good sauces (sweet, sour, salty) - everything was good; Here you eat with your eyes - everything is very precisely on the plate; Show with fried bananas -> served warm with fire - gives the feeling of having a small celebration; Service attentive and courteous; In the event of errors or defects, an apology and offer from the alternative is immediately received; The taste is unique and leaves you wanting more. Thank you very much!

There were two of us there in the evening. The restaurant was at 50% capacity. A service employee took our drink order. They also came immediately afterwards and, unfortunately, they remained the only ones for the evening. The taste of the food was okay. Nicely prepared, but the certain "something" we expected was missing and doesn't justify the price we paid. In addition, after our glasses were empty, no service came to our table to take another order. One service worker walked past us twice, her colleague passed us three times, despite us making contact through eye contact, raising her hand, raising the glass. We were successfully ignored for another drink. Completely incomprehensible to us. The feeling arose that now that we had eaten we could go again. We won't eat there again.

We went here for lunch 2 days in a row. Prices are rather high, but the lunch menu is ok. The yellow curry is to die for. 👌

Pleasant classic and modern ambience, very good dishes, very good service and staff

Modern restaurant with Vietnamese food

Very nice restaurant, great ambience, very friendly staff, attentive boss and a great selection of dishes. Highly recommended for vegans too

A great restaurant with lots of delicious and sometimes unusual dishes. Incredibly delicious. Plus a fast and extremely friendly service 😊 Thank you very much 🙏🏻

We were here for two days, the service and ambience are very good. On the first day we had two excellent vegetarian meals, but the two vegan dishes on the second day were "only" good. Also overall good value for money.

Very tasty and friendly service.

We sat outside - very tasty food - absolutely nice service - I'll go back :-)

very nice atmosphere, the cuisine is no longer as outstanding as it used to be, but still very tasty.

The starter and main course were at the table very quickly. Quality and taste perfect. Friendly and competent staff. Unfortunately, the ambience has nothing Vietnamese at all.

There are better Asians, the prices are exorbitant

Delicious food in a stylish ambience The food was delicious and prepared with lots of fresh ingredients, both the starter and main course were great. The staff very friendly and accommodating. I'm happy to pay the price for the entire package ☺️

Simply expensive and a stressed team that wants to process you quickly and send you home again. In addition, the waiter unfortunately spoke very little or no German, which meant that my complaint about the food was not even noticed and was only commented on with a yes, yes, thank you, thank you. It is also important to say that the same thin, watery, tasteless “sweet and sour chili” sauce was served with everything.

Delicious food with fresh ingredients and really friendly and courteous staff. What we liked was that the tables weren't as close together as in other restaurants. We'd love to come back.

Qualitativ der beste " Asiate " weit und breit. Hier wird noch auf Handwerk und beste Zubereitung geachtet.Keine Billigprodukte, die die Deutschen so sehr lieben.Auch sehr gut für Vegetarier geeignet.Gute Weinkarte.Sehr netter Service.Modernes Ambiente direkt neben dem Mannheimer Kunstverein.

Of course, here's a suggestion for your Google review: --- **Vietnamese Restaurant - A culinary journey to Asia** I had the pleasure of dining at this charming Vietnamese restaurant and I must say it was a real delight for the senses. The food was not only delicious but also artfully presented, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The selection of dishes was impressive, with a variety that will satisfy both lovers of traditional Vietnamese cuisine and the curious. The only downside was the price, which was a little higher than expected.

I'm very sorry, but I can't say anything good about this restaurant. I ordered Bun Bo that was completely tasteless. Considering I had to wait 2 hours for it, it's really abysmal.

As an Asian, I am very disappointed. Price is twice as expensive as ordinary Vietnamese restaurant and food tastes like any other snack. If you want to spend 40-60€ for 2 meals without drinks for ordinary and not particularly appealing food, then this is the place for you. They probably attract “upscale” Western people who have little knowledge of Asian food or have the money. Every Asian realizes that the price/performance ratio is not at all right and that they will not come back.

Unfortunately the squid was inedible. It smelled and tasted strongly of fish. After I pointed out that it was inedible, all they said was “thank you.”

Five of us were there for a special alass a week ago. Ambience clear and fine, just appealing. The focus is on food and drinks on neutral dishes and not on the decoration. The staff attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The menu is varied and clearly laid out. The drinks also have a good selection and are served in nice glasses. The Martini Dry with lemon juice on ice👌 Vegetarians also find satisfaction and their wishes are taken into account. We not only enjoyed the starter and main course but also filled it well. Price-performance ratio okay👍 Feasted on Vietnamese food for 50 per person. 🥢and🍴are available to choose from. Just a round thing with a sense of satisfaction according to our ideas. We'll definitely be back!! Many thanks to the entire staff, in and in front of the kitchen😊

Excellent service. Appealing dishes.

We were in Saigon for dinner with six people at the beginning of the year. The ambience is very well maintained, although it was quite loud. Food and drinks are unusual, but unfortunately only partially superior to a simpler Asian restaurant. The homemade lemonade was pretty very sweet. However, service and hygiene had a problem that evening: one waitress sneezed heartily into her hand while serving, then wiped her hand on her pants and then continued to serve the food with the same hand. Another waitress brought us dessert - with her thumb in the dessert sauce. This is hygienically incomprehensible (after Corona and especially during the cold season) and that with two different employees. Have we done anything? No, it was a birthday invitation and harmony was more important... It's a shame, the rooms are very attractive and the food is still good, although not as sophisticatedly seasoned. There are also vegetarian and vegan dishes and there are parking spaces nearby - but you can't sneeze on your food.

Sehr schönes Restaurant, nette Bedienung und sehr gutes Essen.

Vietnamesische Küche in gehobener Qualität, und sehr angenehmer Service. Wir kommen immer wieder gerne!

Put in a restaurant nice atmosphere with kind personnel and excellent cuisine, you create the Saigon restaurant. A beautiful experience we’ve had there. We will of course come again! Very fine food!

Unser Abendessen verdient zweifellos die Bestnote 'Sehr Gut' (Note 1). Die Atmosphäre war sehr angenehm und freundlich, perfekt für ein schönes Abendessen. Die Bedienung war äußerst aufmerksam, höflich und sehr zuvorkommend. Ihre Hilfsbereitschaft und Freundlichkeit haben unseren Abend wirklich bereichert. Sie stand uns mit Rat und Tat zur Seite, ohne aufdringlich zu sein – genau die richtige Balance. Das Essen war ein wahrer Gaumenschmaus! Die Aromen waren delikat und harmonierten perfekt. Die Vielfalt und Qualität der Speisen waren herausragend. Die liebenswerte Atmosphäre, die vorbildliche Bedienung und die exzellente Qualität des Essens machen dieses Restaurant zu einem unvergesslichen Ort für Paare, ein Geschäftsessen oder eine Familienfeier. Wir können es uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und freuen uns bereits auf unseren nächsten Besuch!

Eine Ära geht zu Ende! Wenige Wochen nach dem endgültigen Besitzerwechsel wurden wir das erste mal enttäuscht. Wir besuchen das Saigon seit 25 Jahren regelmäßig, also schon zu Zeiten an denen es noch gegenüber des Nationaltheaters zu finden war. Den alten Besitzern ist es immer gelungen die außergewöhnliche Qualität und den hervorragenden Geschmack der Speisen auf einem sehr hohem Niveau zu halten. Bei unserem heutigen Besuch war alles verändert: Die Sommerrollen waren für uns immer der Inbegriff der herausragenden Qualität der Küche. Diesmal waren die Rollen trocken die Sauce dazu kalt und wenig aromatisch. Insgesamt waren wir mit der Qualität des Fleisches und der Krabben in unserm Curry nicht zufrieden. An den Speisen fehlte der Geschmack frischer Kräuter die immer so typisch für die Küche des Saigon waren. Der Geschmack der Saucen war ohne Finesse. Selbst das kleine Gebäck, dass man schon immer nach dem Bezahlen vom Haus spendiert bekommt, war trocken und kein Genuss mehr. Es hat uns in der Vergangenheit nie gestört, dass die Preise aufgrund der stets hervorragenden Qualität etwas gehoben waren. Leider müssen wir uns jetzt ein neues Restaurant für den Genuss der vietnamesischen Küche suchen.

Wij hebben echt super lekker gegeten. Het eten was erg smaakvol en vers bereid. Het personeel was ook heel erg vriendelijk. Aanrader!

Wir wurden sehr freundlich bedient. Das Essen war sehr lecker und wirklich frisch. Das Ambiente ist modern und angenehm. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Sehr leckeres Essen , sehr nettes Servicepersonal, man fühlt sich willkommen.

Immer wieder gerne, immer wieder lecker.

Sehr zu empfehlen....nettes Personal.....leckere vietnamesische Küche 👍👍👍👍

Wir haben hier einen sehr netten Abend verbracht. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet. Auf individuelle Wünsche wurde eingegangen und sehr gut beraten. Der Service war sehr umsichtig.

Bin seit über 30 Jahren begeistert von dem Essen und habe bisher jeden Umzug des Lokals mitgemacht. Leider wird man nicht alleine alt. Ein kompletter Wechsel steht bevor.....

Very nice ambience and superkind personnel. Food well prepared and large selection.

Feines Essen, etwas teurer wie z.B. beim Thai. Immer wieder.

Essen: Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis nicht ganz stimmig. Geschmacklich zwar gut, aber die Ente für 26€ hebt sich nicht wirklich von der eines Asia-Imbisses ab. Knusprige Mini-Nudeln als Beilage eher gewöhnungsbedürftig. Vorspeisenteller für 2 Personen für 24€ geschmacklich ebenfalls in Ordnung, aber viel zu teuer für den Inhalt. Service: Servicekräfte sehr freundlich, jedoch wurden mehrere Artikel falsch serviert (möglicherweise aufgrund der Sprachbarriere). Kann passieren, aber 3 falsche Artikel an einem Abend ist dann doch erwähnenswert. Ausserdem sehr lange Wartezeiten.

Die Bedienungen waren alle ausnahmslos freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Essen war geschmacklich sehr gut. So sollte ein Vietnamesisches Restaurant sein. Hier lohnt es sich Essen zu gehen 👍🏼 Vielen Dank für den tollen Service und das ausgezeichnete Essen. Gerne wieder 👏

Sehr leckeres Curry, perfekte Portion mit genug Gemüse und Fleisch. Bei meinem Besuch war sehr wenig los, daher war der Service top. Für meinen Geschmack jedoch etwas zu teuer für das Essen.

Sehr freundliches Personal. Das Essen war sehr schnell fertig und hat gut geschmeckt.

Schön eingerichtetes vietnamesisches Restaurant. Alles war frisch zubereitet und der Service super freundlich. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt.

Immer sehr frisch und lecker, nettes Personal. Nur zu empfehlen!

Sehr großzügige Räumlichkeiten mit angenehm viel Platz zwischen den Tischen. Sehr cleane Ausstattung und daher eher kühles Ambiente. Essen war gut. Es gibt eine große, sehr ansprechende Speisekarte. Hier findet jeder etwas leckeres. Ich hatte fantastische La lốt chay - Gegrillte Tofuspieße. Nudeln und Beilagen waren frisch und ok. Alleine von dem Hauptgang wäre ich nicht satt geworden. Aber mit dem Nachtisch Bánh cam – Sesambällchen und Bánh bò – Dampfküchlein als Abschluss hat es gepasst. Beides war sehr lecker und lässt sich auch gut kombinieren. Der Preise war mit 75€ für zwei Personen eher einen Tick zu viel für das gute Essern.

Appetitlich und fein, sowohl die Küche als auch das Ambiente.

Delicious vietnamese food. Loved it.

Unfassbar frische Gerichte, sehr zuvorkommender Service - jeder Wunsch wird umgesetzt und selbst mit Gruppen über 20 Leuten ist bestellen à la Carte ohne Einschränkungen möglich. Wirklich top und geschmacklich next Level👍

Essen sehr gut. Banh Beo sind Spitze. Aber der Empfang war eher sehr reserviert.Auch zwei Angestellte konnten nicht einmal Guten Tag sagen. War bisher der schlechteste Empfang. Aber das Essen ist wirklich Klasse.

Super leckeres Essen und sehr freundlicher, aufmerksamer und trotz allem unaufdringlicher Service. Wir kommen gerne und bestimmt wieder!!!!

Das Essen Sehr Sehr lecker die Bedienung sehr freundlich

Seit vielen Jahren immer äußerst zufrieden, heute leider eine extreme Enttäuschung. Service nett aber unaufmerksam, Besteck kam erst nach Aufforderung nachdem das Essen schon Minuten auf dem Tisch stand. Die Vorspeise und Hauptspeise unterschieden sich deutlich vom gewohnten Niveau. Enttäuschend und vermutlich dem neuen Eigentümer geschuldet. Sehr schade.

großartig, vergessen Sie nicht, alles zu probieren!

Heerlijk eten ,snelle bediening, sehr freundliche leute.

Stylisch und gut Stylisches Ambiente. Unsere Gerichte Udon Suppe und gebratenes Gemüse mit Mango Curry waren gut, auch wenn wir beide nicht mit vietnamesischer Küche assoziieren würden. Service geht so (zu wenig Personal). Sehr gut besucht. Preisniveau etwas gehoben (zu zweit ab ca. 60 Euro ohne Vorspeisen), entsprechend ist auch das Publikum.

Wirklich sehr authentisch und lecker.

Gute, dem westlichen Geschmack ein wenig angepasste vietnamesische Küche in schönem Ambiente. Nicht günstig, aber Qualität rechtfertigt den Preis und der Service ist auch freundlich.

Sehr gemütlich und köstlicher traditioneller vietnamesischen Essen
