Lucky Saigon Restaurant-Raffles - 17 N Canal Rd

Authentic ?? food; many choices and nice interior. Maybe just a tad too oily; also not salty enough. Also, can we have mint in the spring rolls plzzzz

We came here for early lunch to avoid the business crowd. Lucky to get parking along the road just outside. This restaurant is on the 2nd floor but is under the same management as the one on the 1st floor. As you walk up the stairs, you are slowly transported to the Vietnamese of old, hence the Saigon in its name. Lots of paraphernalia on display, old photos, nice touch. Service is pleasant. Its menu has the typical Vietnamese variety. Had been looking for the pancake for a while now and was glad to find it here. We probably ordered too much cos we thought we wanted to try many stuff - turned out the serving size was quite big and we had to tapao some home. Almost all dishes come with the sweet chilli sauce. As we were served, more people starts to come in. Solos, groups. But the place was never too noisy. Just nice for u to enjoy your food. We don't live nearby so its probably hard to make a case to come here again. But we will definitely consider if we have business nearby.

I was actually very excited to try this place after seeing it on social media. When we arrive on a weekend night, it was pretty crowded. Did not have to wait too long, probably around 15 to 20 mins. Ambience: Nice and chill but it is outdoor seating so there are some mozzies around especially when it rained. Tables and chairs were relatively clean. Seemed to have outdoor live music as I noticed a stage but probably cancelled cos of covid. Food: It was all good until our appetisers arrived. We ordered their signature platter consisting of spring rolls in different styles. It came with a peanut sauce to accompany the dish. However, when we wanted to dip our rolls in, we noticed an army of ants in the sauce and were so appalled. Yet, the server didn't notice it (probably because it was a busy night) and it makes me question the cleanliness of the place because the sauce was probably left there for a long time and pre-prepared way before we ordered. The mains (pho) was okay and did not have any issue with that. Just very disappointed at the food standard and no apology was given as well, when alerted the server quickly scurried back and came back with a new one. There was no follow-up by the management as well.

Halal Vietnamese food in the CBD-ish area! The pho and sour fish soup tasted authentic and the portion is pretty generous. Restaurant is clean overall but was slightly warm as we were sitting at the corner and the aircon wasn’t blowing towards us. Other than that, still a pleasant experience overall :)

Tried the signature sliced beef pho, stir fried tofu, fried spring rolls and ice milk coffee. Pho was pretty good comparison to a benchmark pho like “so pho”. The fried tofu was pretty good, it was relatively spicy as well. Fried spring roll were decent not particularly great. Spent about 43SGD on this meal! I would say this restaurant is a slightly above average! PORTIONS were good and worth its price.

Ordered a chicken banhmi, beef brisket soup and Vietnam spring roll. The banhmi was really good as it’s so crispy and the chicken is tasty, one of the best I have tasted in sg. Beef brisket soup was okay. The spring roll didn’t came. Service can be better in my opinion.

A nice chillout place in the city. Hard to find as there were not sufficient signs to direct us to the Cafe but surprisingly, the Cafe is quite crowded on a weekday lunch. We love the ambience as there were greens all around and a huge cage with parrots, chickens, turkey and other birds. Also a pond with large fishes. However, food was just ok. Will definitely bring the kids for a visit for the ambience but not so for the food.

Great ambiance! I was really amazed. The food was a 6/10. The drinks were really good specially their coffee. Wouldn’t come back because of poor customer service, so many staffs but all of them stay in one side chitchatting, menu wouldn’t be handed to you, staffs weren’t friendly/welcoming. the tables were sticky, we had to really clean it ourselves. The plants look really pretty, the interior design is amazing but some of my family members got mosquito bites. The place is just not well maintained. This cafe has a great potential though. Animals were cute :)
