saigon suzy

asked them to turn heavy loud rock music down about 5 times but unfortunately we had to leave eventually !

saigon suzy has the most fantastic decor and worth a visit for the atmosphere. the staff and managers are very attentive. sadly the food lets it down - just misses the mark and when you look at the cost (it’s not cheap), we left a bit disappointed. definitely stay away from the roasted pineapple with coconut ice cream. really bad ice cream - it’s just ice crystals.

small plates are a definite must! prawn toast was exceptional. mains not as impressive but still good

celebrated my birthday here recently, great vibe early evening and unusual food!
gets a little crowd but will definitely be back!
loved the flying tiger shooter and cocktails as well!

by far the best asian restaurant in joberg, if not of all time. do not miss out on the kfc (korean fried chicken) it is a “chef d’oeuvre”
decoration: korean street feel with neo traditional vibes
service: very friendly and attentive
hygiene: nothing to complain about + kitchen is open, that is always a good sign

i was a little disappointed here. i had been looking forward to going here for ages and went for a friend’s birthday. the food was very expensive considering it’s quality. i love asian food and have had much better food elsewhere. one dish was inedible but luckily when we brought this to the attention of the hostess it was removed from our bill.

we went upstairs for the karaoke experience which was lots of fun despite the one mic giving terrible feedback and the touchscreen being very difficult to operate because it’s reception to touch was offset.

the cocktails were great and the place has potential for more.

kinda defeats the purpose of “build a meal” custom menus when you run out of menus 🤦‍♂️.
waiter was awesome.. restaurant was poor. my noodles with red hot dragon sauce tasted like the spices were not cooked properly. edamame was poorly seasoned. ice cream was melted (in winter). ridiculously overpriced.

the restaurant is so different and it’s an exciting experience! however, i must admit the portions were abnormally small & it was 100% not value for money! i usually eat one main meal but had to order more food. their customer service wasn’t great either. and another issue i had was the fact that they didn’t take the order down properly - for which i paid for the extra because they failed to let me know about the extra drinks given.

i finally went to saigon suzy and i loved it, next time i go i’m taking a group of friends for the full experience (karaoke night too)! my fav cocktail is the mango margarita, we also ordered a few small dishes which were great. great spot for a friday night buzz!

what can i say, other than yes!!! the food to the service, to the ambiance is just 5 star. an incredible foodie experience. the tempura soft shell crab is delicious. try the spicy pork broken rice bowl it's a mix between spicy and sweet. just delicious. book in advance cause it's fully booked and you will understand why.

i went to meet up with a friend from nz and catch up and because of the noise outside and the music we had to talk pretty loudly but that said, it was such a great vibe. the food was delicious! i would have preferred a little more guidance from the waiter on how to put together the make your own dish... like advice on the most popular choices. beautiful decor and food. just an awesome spot in jozi. can’t wait to take friends there.

first time and what a pleasant surprise! cozy, vibey and quite noisy, but oh, the food! delicious to sum it up. we ordered 4 small bowls of starters for the 2 of us as we didn't know what to expect... they were not small and we could have shared one. our mains arrived... each enough to fill 2 bellies! fabulous presentation and great flavors. the service was as good as the food! we will be back, next time with a group of fun friends that will appreciate the vibe.

amazing!! not a foot in the wrong direction!

our waiters guided us to the upstairs terrace area where we chose to sit; in hindsight it would be better to sit downstairs because there’s a ton of flies when you go get your food upstairs which can be annoying!

we had quite a large variety of their food and everything was great! the bao buns (korean kfc) are absolutely amazing and so is the red curry & the chicken brown rice kimchi medley. a friend had the tempura soft shell crab starter and it looked great!

looking forward to having the phu on a colder day alongside some vietnamese coffee. that’s definitely next on the list!

one thing though; this place is not cheap so it cannot be a regular for most people. with mains priced at anything between 155-185 and international beers priced at r55 upwards; you’re definitely looking at around r700 for two people

i ordered the veg option bao. extremely disappointed with the whole dish. i only had 1 small piece of ginger, 1 piece of pumpkin tempura and a small amount of sauce on each bao.

amazing place! great vibe, and the food is awesome! little bit expensive, but worth the visit. parking is a bit of a challenge when it's busy, but one street up, turn left and on the right is a safe parking area. a bit of a walk to the restaurant, but not to bad.
