How is this place not number one for Vietnamese food on here!? Absolutely banging food, extremely good service, very cute interior, all around five star experience.
The mushroom stir fry and duck breaks skewers were excellent and very nicely presented! The stir fry has just the right amount of smokey taste and great balance with the sweet pineapple bits. Lovely drinks too and that's to say nothing of the decour inside, which also set a high bar.

Saigon Babylon is a lively and stylish restaurant located over Ctrl sq, offering a wide drink menu and beautifully presented, tasty food. The atmosphere is cool, with lush plants and ornate furniture creating a dark and moody space that enhances the overall experience. The staff is friendly and professional, making guests feel welcome. The restaurant features a rooftop deck, which is especially appealing for outdoor dining in the summer and offers a great view once it reopens. The rooftop vibes are noted to be immaculate, although it is walk-in only. The plates are small, perfect for sharing in a tapas style, and each dish showcases classic Southeast Asian flavors, making the experience unique in Boston. The menu includes items like lemongrass beef carpaccio, bac ninh (duck), fluke, and oxtail, with the latter two praised for their homemade taste and flavorful broths. The food has a lot of flavor and feels very unique, while drinks such as the Stormy Saigon and honey mousse espresso martini are highly recommended, with the former featuring perfectly sweet coconut milk and pandan. Although the menu is small, there is a good variety. While prices are on the higher side, the quality and presentation justify the cost. Parking is available nearby on Bishop Allen Dr. Overall, Saigon Babylon is a vibrant outdoor spot with thoughtful decor and great food, perfect for those seeking a memorable Southeast Asian dining experience in Boston.
