Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split on the food at Saigon City, and the most repeated draw is its large Quorn-based vegetarian range, which one regular calls the biggest selection of any Chinese they have found. Close behind, several praise tasty, fresh, non-greasy cartons and friendly people, with one reviewer calling it the most consistently good Chinese they have had and another using it for Sunday lunch. Others are less convinced. One reviewer describes a greasy meat spring roll that seemed undercooked and a satay sauce with an odd aftertaste, while pork ribs, chow mein and crispy shredded beef were only okay. Another found the Singapore noodles bland and the curry sauce tasting of gravy. Two reviewers report pink chicken, and one says a set meal tasted of salt and MSG. A few note it is cash only, and one wishes it delivered. One reviewer who had read the negative reviews first was glad to try it anyway, and said every carton arrived fresh.

“I really wanted to give Saigon City a good review, as they’re local and very friendly but the food has let them down. So much so that we haven’t eaten it all and had to chuck a lot away. And for foodies, that’s really not okay. I ordered a meat spring roll and it was soo greasy, the oil was oozing out of it and the roll itself didn’t taste like it was cooked enough. The satay sauce didn’t taste of peanuts, very strange aftertaste and extremely salty. A couple of okay dishes that we did eat (pork ribs, chow mein, crispy shredded beef) but nothing amazing. I personally wouldn’t recommend it or go back.”

“Having eaten from here on and off over the last few years I think I've probably made my last visit. Still only accept cash and a set meal leaves you thinking salt and msg rather than the underlying ingredients. Normally fast service and home delivery possible but remember you'll need cash! Fills a hole if you're hungry and feeling lazy.”

“I've been happy with their food for a number of years but about 18 months ago I was put off by chicken that seemed a bit pink. I gave them a year and tried again. Unfortunately the chicken was still pink inside and this has put me off. I really should have said something to them at the time but I avoided the confrontation.”
