Saigon Block

Food: 4/5Service: 4/5Egg and soda was interesting. It's sweeter than I anticipated. Not a huge fan of the mixed fruits drink... but the large catfish ($70) was filling for two people! Could've been more flavorful for the fish meat and I would like for the Lettuce to be more thoroughly washed... otherwise tasty.Fairly empty for a late Saturday lunch.

Came here for the ca nuong. Medium catfish is about $65. It seems like most who come here get the ca Nuong but a lot of the items look good...I want to come back to try the bun nem Nuong.The ca nuong is 3 stars. The aromatics are there and I like that they remove the bones for you. The meat itself is a little mushier than I'd like. I prefer a firmer texture. The pickled daikon and carrots are the thicker kind, which I like and they are perfectly pickled. The restaurant is spacious and clean and service was quick and efficient. I probably wouldn't order the catfish again but I do want to come back and try other items on the menu.

Foods are okay, famous big fried fish is good to eat with big group but it should a bit more tasty. Service is okay, but they should work more for better tips. The restaurant has family style atmosphere, great for big group.

This is a very spacious spot with lots of yummy options. We got the catfish and seven-course beef. Everything came out really fast and was so tasty. There was plenty of veggies to make spring rolls with and the dipping sauce is sweet and savory which paired very well with the food.

I brought my family from out of town to experience the giant fried fish that you use to make rolls. They enjoyed the experience and had a lot of fun eating it. The veggies were fresh and the staff were always so nice. I'd come back to eat the vietnamese nem. The food portions were great for our big party. I liked the cleanliness of the place.

So many delicious options! We had their pho and ca nuong. We got a medium size ca nuong, 2 phos, and 2 orders of the cha gio; it sounds like a lot but it was also the perfect amount of food for 4 people. Everything was very delicious and the meats for the pho was tender and soft. Their cha gio was deep fried in rice paper so it was a little different than the usually egg wrapper but I think it's even better and more crispy. The sauce that they give you for the ca nuong was a great compliment to the spring rolls; it had a hint of fish sauce yet it was different but very flavorful. Service was great and the food came out very fast.

We visitied recently for the second time and I swear.....some other folks need to go with me and hubby next time so we can justify ordering the showstopping whole catfish! However, we ordered the delicous shrimp spring rolls that came with probably the cleanest peanut sauce I have ever had. Tasted homemade for sure. My husband and I ordered vermicilli bowls with grilled beef and chicken. The bowls had an abundance of veggies and flavorful meat. The little tiny eggroll bites were like eating the most delicous crunchy crouton that was a nice addition to the bowls. The freshness of the ingredients is what I appreciate the most. The service is outstanding and attentive. The atmosphere is clean and comfortable. We have only gone for lunch but would like to see what the dinner atmosphere is like and of course, get that catfish!!!!!

We had a reservation but still had to wait almost 45 minutes for our table. Service was slow and had to flag down staffs several times. However, staffs were very nice and friendly. It seemed like they were extremely busy that day and did not have a good system. I came for their famous Baked catfish dish -Ca Nuong Da Gion and 7 courses of Beef. I was very satisfied with our main dishes. We did order some desserts like caramel flan and Che Ba Mau, but I wasn't impressed. The place was spacious suitable for big party/family gathering. Overall, I would come back for the baked catfish, with hope the service will be better.

We got in very late for dinner, half hour before closing. We missed their famous catfish entree, since it should be an hour at least for us to be able to order it. We settled for grilled boneless pork chop with steam rice and chicken pho. Also, their shrimp spring rolls. The grilled pork chop is bland. It should have been marinated overnight to get the real taste of grilled pork chop. Same as the chicken pho. The shrimp spring rolls need more shrimps and not all noodles. Serving staff are helpful and respectful. Clean and well decorated Vietnamese Restaurant. Will be back to try their famous catfish on their menu.

We came on Saturday night, no wait was seated right away. This is definitely family meal place. We got the hot pot and it was a lot of food for 2 people, taste was okay.
