Nice, authentic Vietnamese restaurant run by very lovely people. Pho noodle soup was great and full of flavour. Will definitely go back in the future!
Quite standard cuisine. Not much of an atmosphere. Food wasn’t to bad, though not worth the price. Rice paper rolls were tiny. Service quite slow as we waited around 25 minutes from our entree to get main meals. Would we go back, wouldn’t be the first choice.
Small and a unique Vietnamese resto. The noodle soups are to die for. Spicy and authentic. This place is run by the couple so please be patient until you are served. I would recommend you to arrive at 5.30 pm when the restaurant opens else it will get really busy during the peak hours. Will definitely return.
2798 Gold Coast Highway Surfers Paradise QLD 4217 +61 7 5538 7588 http://newsaigonrestaurant.blogspot.com.au/ GOOD Vietnamese food is extremely hard to find on the Gold Coast so it’s a luxury that I tend to go without – I either wait until I’m back in Melbourne for my bun bo hue fix or I attempt to make my own pho broth. So when a Tinder match suggested we go to this ‘really, really authentic Vietnamese restaurant on the Highway,’ my ears pricked up. ‘Authentic Vietnamese restaurant’ I sceptically asked. ‘Yeah, the venue is really cool – it’s like you’re sitting in someone’s house and the food is cooked by their grandmother or something.’ ‘Okay, this I gotta see!’ I was as excited as I was today when I heard that The Book of Mormon musical was finally hitting our glorious shores. YESSSSS. But then Mr Tinder ruined everything with this question: ‘So, is pho Vietnamese or Thai’ In hindsight, that should have been a warning sign to abort this meet-up immediately. If an Asian guy can’t tell me what country pho comes from, then should I really be trusting his judgement on what constitutes ‘really, really authentic Vietnamese’ food? It didn’t matter anyway; we were finally at New Saigon . Housed in a beautiful timber house in the middle of Goldie Highway, the restaurant’s bright neons signs glittered as brightly as the sequins on a metre maid’s bikini top. Inside, a bustling atmosphere greeted us as we took our seat. It wasn’t a full house that night but it was busy enough – so much so that we did wait more than 30 minutes for our food to arrive, unusual for a Vietnamese restaurant. Prawn and pork rice paper rolls (four for $9) We started off with some summer rolls. To be honest, they weren’t the best I’ve had. Not only were they skint on the filling, the rolls themselves were tasteless. I struggled to eat just one. Crispy chicken and vegies in sweet chilli sauce ($16.50) My companion ordered a decidedly non-Vietnamese dish, a strange choice for someone who claimed that N
