Saigon Social offers authentic Vietnamese cuisine, featuring the renowned bun cha with generous portions of pork and a side of minced garlic. The restaurant’s presentation captures the vibrant atmosphere of Vietnam, with bowls large enough to mix in noodles and herbs. The menu includes a range of flavorful dishes, such as lemongrass ribs, quail, whole crispy fish, and pho. The chef, Helen Nguyen, prepares classic Vietnamese dishes with care, often adding fun twists and reinventions that work well, like the creative French dip sandwich using pho broth as a dip. The beef pho is highly recommended for its layered and balanced broth, differing from the saltier versions found elsewhere. The banh beo is noted as one of the best in the city, and the bun cha Hanoi features a concentrated, punchy sauce. The restaurant has a great vibe, with friendly servers enhancing the welcoming atmosphere. The Vietnamese-inspired cocktails, including original options, are a highlight, making Saigon Social a must-visit destination for Asian cuisine enthusiasts. The mellow atmosphere and great service make dining here a delightful experience.
