    Food and service excellent, didn't realise how large the portions would be on the $49 deal! Had to leave some! Very well organised and capable servers. Only negative comment would be that our table for two was so close to the next table for two we may as well have shared a table! WC is outside up 2/3 flights of stairs which may be difficult for some.
    Straight Outta SaigonResponded on 4 December 2024
    Karen we’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the food, service, and great value of the $49 deal! It’s great to know our servers made your experience smooth and enjoyable. We appreciate your feedback regarding the table placement and the stairs to the WC, and we’ll certainly take that into consideration for future improvements. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    Food was great but we were rushed by our waiter. He would clear plates with food still on it and every interaction he had with us he reminded us he needed the table back at a certain time. We were well aware and prepared to be on t. Took away from the experience. Felt like we were a hassle.
    Straight Outta SaigonResponded on 25 November 2024
