We were traveling with our parents in San Sebastian staying at the Maria Cristina. After a few days of constant Pintxos and Basque cuisine, the parents fancied a change of flavours and so we opted for Cafe Saigon. Although the name suggest it a Vietnamese cuisine, its more a mic of Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese. I must confess, I didn't really hold much expectations given the exceptional variety of the local cuisine in San Sebastian. We ordered the beef pho, tom yum soup, duck curry, mix vegetables, duck salad fried rice. The beef pho was pretty good, though they served up cabbage instead of beansprouts the basil was a little on the mean side... otherwise beef was tender the soup pretty good....
My family and I had dinner one of the nights while we stayed at Maria Cristina. We were spending 4 weeks in Spain and we love Spanish food, we thought Saigon Cafe was a great opportunity for something different. Having read the somewhat aged reviews on TA, I was a bit apprehensive but all was excellent. We tried an assortment of dishes and all were fabulous. Service was great. Attentive without being “in your face”. Restaurant was 75% full on a Thursday night with very little tourists in the city so I highly recommend making a reservation in advance.
Tried eating here the first night and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! Wait staff is knowledgeable and very capable as well as being really friendly. Ended up eating there again for our last night as we wanted to try some of the other dishes and it did not disappoint. Being an Asian, I can say with some authority that they serve good Asian food. Mostly Vietnamese and Thai cuisine.
Como donostiarra, el lugar es increíble ... pero, quisiera reseñar la atención y la dulzura del camarero que nos ha atendido, un chico muy joven y súper agradable... En un mundo donde la mala educación está a la orden del día, se agradece éste savoir faire ... Merçi beaucoup Gil...
