Best Vietnamese food in town. 100% try the pho and lemongrass chicken!
This place was recommended by my Vietnamese friend as he said it was really good and authentic so I came to try. The rice paper rolls and the summer rolls were amazing, they were all gone before I had a chance to take a photo so definitely worth trying. The summer rolls were also really good. The pho was really good too, it was perfect for the cold night when I visited.
Have been to the restaurant both times I've been to Wellington. Price is good and food also. Good for late night Vietnamese food cravings :D
Really delicious food. Can't wait to return and try more! Came on a Sunday night and it was packed. I had #37 (oops can't remember the dish's name) ... it was outstanding.
This isn't the place you go to enjoy the atmosphere – you go for some authentic wholesome Vietnamese packed with flavour.
One of my favourite things about this place is their rice paper spring rolls, which are gluten free and delicious! These led me perfectly to my favourite dish – spring rolls and pork on vermicelli, mint and salad, which was served with a Nuoc Cham dressing. This dish is both refreshing and light – a great summer meal. Note: if you want it to be gluten free, ask them to use the rice paper spring rolls, which they are always happy to do!
But in winter nothing really beats a pho, and I can tell you that their beef pho has a good punch of flavour.
The staff here are both lovely and welcoming, and are very accommodating.
This is one of my favourite cheap eats in Wellington.

I went here for lunch with my grandmother last week and it was so good I had to go back there a few days later with my partner! Service and atmosphere are both extremely friendly and warm. So far I have tried the chicken salad, seafood curry, Vietnamese pancake, spring rolls, and the pho. I would 100% recommend all of these dishes unequivocally. They are all so delicious, so full of flavor and great value for money. Everything tastes so authentic and I can't wait to go back again!
I have now been here for a BYO and a quiet mid-week dinner, it was perfect for both! The food is really great for the price you pay and they also have a wide selection of vegetarian options. I recommend the vegetarian pancake and the vegetarian spring rolls! It felt really cosy on a freezing cold winter's night and the instrumental music was nice and relaxing. Corkage was also really cheap! The only gripe I really have with this place is that two out of the three times I've been there I've wanted to order the pancake - AND THEY SAID THEY DIDNT HAVE ANY. Surely they must realise the pancakes are a favourite of the people and that we all want to eat them ... And I mean how hard is it to make sure you have an extra stash of rice flour in the restaurant.??? Bizarre.
Warm and friendly service, food is delicious. Fried rices and curries are excellent, as is the Vietnamese pancake. My favourite place in Wellington to get a feed.
Very nice and the portion are decent, will come back again. I ordered rare beef noodle soup which I got medium, I think next time I will reconfirm them
I regularly go to Saigon Taste to get my Pho fix and it's so far the best I think I've had in Wellington. The broth is always very flavoursome and there is always a good helping of beef and its not chewy and is consistently good. The service is always attentive and happy, really nice people who run this restaurant. They also have a $10 lunch menu which is great! If you like Vietnamese food you need to visit Saigon Taste.
I love their soupy noodles. It's perfect for cold day. There are vegetarian option but the taste of the soup need improvement.
The food was amazing. We had phở gà and Bún chá giò & thit nuóng chão. The portion was just enough and the price was reasonable. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants good Vietnamese foods.
Most authentic Viet food we have ever had in New Zealand. The owner and staff are super friendly. Almost had our meals here everyday for our whole stay in Wellington.
Saigon Taste is one of our family’s favourite restaurants. Whether you order in or take away the food is always excellent. It’s a family run business that is a part of the Wellington community. You really get a community vibe when you’re there. When it’s busy you might need to wait for your dish but it will be served piping hot and delicious. I enjoyed my Vietnamese coffee as well. If you like authentic Vietnamese food you should definitely try this place.
To all Vietnamese food lovers, this is the place in Wellington that you should not miss.
There are so many menus that will definitely serve your appetite for authentic Vietnamese food and of course, one of my favorite is Pho or the beef noodle soup. I really like this one because it comes in a very fresh broth and lots of vegetables. You can get varieties of Viet Namese noodle soup with chicken, different kind of beef and more. I tried the chicken wings as well as its fried chicken and they are very good. You can also try their fresh rolls and spring rolls for extra kick and great appetizer.
They also serve a lot of beverages, including famous Vietnamese coffee and avocado with coffee, which is very good.
The place is not too big but it has enough space for people. Lunch can be a bit busy and parking can be a bit tricky sometimes.
My favourite Vietnamese restaurant! I always order the Durian smoothie, and my favourite food here is the crispy chicken thighs with fish sauce. Their pho is also very popular. Sometimes it's very crowded. It's better to make a reservation. You can park your car in Courtenay Pl, and walk for few minutes.
Had an amazing time, the service was friendly and the food was amazing. We had the crab noodle soup it was delicous but could use more crab. We also had some steamed rice cakes and they're spectacular, Could have eaten more!
Just like the Bon bo Hue that I ate in Hue! Delicious!
The hot black Vietnamese coffee has the authentic subtle licorice flavour (at least that’s what my palate tastes 😀)
Kind efficient unobtrusive service.
I’ll be back to try the Saigon Pho
I’ve found my happy Vietnamese food place in Wellington.
Fantastic food, I highly recommend the vegetarian summer and spring rolls, and the vegan noodle soup option.
Always a pleasure eating here. Food is always good just had to wait a bit but all in all if you are not in a hurry defintely worth the wait
