Absolutely loved the food the taste was yummmmm an the aromas coming from the food just made me want to dive right into it. The customer service was on point� would an will absolutely recommend this place to friends an family. I will definitely be coming back when I am next in town. Thank you ��
This place is seriously addictive. Food is excellent and a good value. The staff is personable and cheery. The kitchen is accommodating to dietary requirements. Good vegan options. Healthy, but flavourful and filling.
Came here on a cold winter day and felt like something warm. Decided to go for the vegan coconut curry and it was the best decision I could ever make. Curry was not spicy at all (which is good for me) and full of flavoursome aroma! Best curry I’ve ever had. Came with a serving of jasmine rice as well. I also tried a tofu banh mi which was also very tasty - the baguette could have been a bit softer but other than, it was delicious!
My go-to place for Vietnamese food in Palmerston North. Has quite authentic flavours, was still happy with my dish a few days after just coming back from Saigon (obviously nothing beats a local pho in Vietnam however).
The pho and vietnamese noodle salads are my favourites. Bhan mi looks slightly overpriced for what they are, and the rice dishes (that I've yet to try) look quite reasonable.
The service is good, with staff approachable and accommodating. My only concern is with the hygiene - the self-service water has questionably cleaned cups - numerous times I've had to wipe mine vigorously to get rid of a mark that clearly was a lip (lipstick maybe?). The chopsticks and spoons are in a tin on the tables and look old and very used, with various stains from use.
Overall a good, well-priced Vietnamese restaurant that I'll visit from time to time with friends.

I just tried their curry prawn fried rice (I think that's what it was called). It was the tastiest dish I've had in a while. Will definitely go back here!
So sad we didn’t stumble upon this gem sooner! We have been finding the palmy food scene super disappointing but these guys have made up for it! Fresh ingredients, authentic flavours, no excess grease or oil, super fast and friendly service. We will be back 😍😍😍 we tried the chilli lemon grass chicken and the fish spring rolls - both were DELICIOUS! Can’t wait to come back and try more dishes. Love your work Saigon Corner!
I live in Auckland but make a point of going to Saigon every time I’m in Palmy visiting family. Go at lunch time and you will see how popular it is! My favourite dish is the salt and pepper calamari salad, divine. Their banh mi is tasty and you can choose from their multiple options, not to mention very affordable. I can’t wait to come back again.
We dine here quite often and grab take out whenever we can. My wife is gluten free and very conscious about her diet. This restaurant does very well to consistently prepare their key dishes. Which are well balanced and seasoned and truly are authentic viet cuisine. We are always served high quality food that tastes fresh and amazing. We are so stoked that there is a ‘good’ Vietnamese restaurant here in Palmy. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.
Love love love this place! Pork belly sticky rice and salmon are my favourite dishes. Would eat here every day if I could. Really good pricing too.
Can't fault this place! It is one of my Palmy favourites and I always make a stop here when back in town. This most recent visit I had Saigon style banh mi and a Vietnamese coffee. Excellent food and coffee! Always such great service here too from the lovely staff. I had major food envy when I was eating here, everyone around me had such yummy looking food! Highly recommend.
Their Banh Mi is tastier than some of the ones I actually had when I went to Vietnam! The waterfall chicken isn't bad either, would recommend
Just tried this place for the first time, and really enjoyed it. Got a pork belly bahn mi, was very tasty. Can't wait to go back and try something else.
The noodle salad appeared enticing and tasty, especially the crispy roast pork. The pho broth has a robust beef flavor, but it's salty and should be served with more vegetables and herbs. The staff is cheerful and welcoming. I plan to return and sample more dishes.
It is our first time here and we have a marvellous time. Our food came out fast. We had Lemon Grass Beef with Noodles, Stir Fried Prawns with Rice and Salad and Vietnamese Coffee with Condensed Milk. They were all tasty and well seasoned. We will definitely come back again.
Had rice paper rolls with peanut sauce 11$ which were good
Also had beef noodle soup. This was 19$. Not to my liking.
And fried chicken which was really good. 8$.
Good menu but beef noodle didn’t work out for me . Certainly worth a visit. Will try something different next time..
This is my fav vietnamese restaurant in town. I ordered roasted pork belly Banh Mi and beef noodle soup yesterday, it was crispy and delicious.
Staffs are friendly and do as fast as they can. Well done team!.
Taste: 4/5
Price: $-$$
Portions: medium
The pho was good, but super oily. The pana cotta dessert turned out to be a super sweet lychee drink with tiny cubes of panna cotta on top, a bit misrepresented.
Love the squid salad, so nice and generous, good prices and everything is always so fresh. Nice decor, good and fast service. Visited again recently after lockdown, the service was wonderful and complied to the covid-19 rules. I had the hot Vietnamese coffee to drink which was amazing! We got the chicken skewers appetizer, coconut crumbed prawns and popcorn chicken. And again I got the delicious squid salad. I bought the special duck curry home for my partners dinner and he also loved it! Will definitely be returning
Such a great little place! The summer rolls are delicious and so are the homemade juices
Really delicious fresh Vietnamese food ! The spicy beef pho and fried squid salad ! Big portions and reasonable price. The viet ice coffee was average however. Gets busy during lunch and dinner
The presentation was great and the prices were fairly reasonable although probably on the expensive end for Palmerston North. I don't know if you'd call it authentic Vietnamese though. Did not appreciate the raw cabbage on my bun bo hue. Despite this a fresh place to eat with some healthyish dishes
Came here with my co-workers after a busy day and was welcomed with good customer service and served some top tier meals.
I got the Spicy Beef Noodle soup and it was not only spicy but it was extremely tasty, we got some fried chicken, spring rolls and Bahn mi for starters and they were also flavourful and morish, the Sago Banana pudding was also good!
Will take photos next time, because the food looks great. Thank you so so much to the front of staff and huge compliments to the chef! Needless to say I will definitely be back to this gem of a restaurant!
