Wan Chai, Hong Kong｜Le Garçon Saigon

We walked in with no booking and got table in the bar area. As per usual standard of black sheep great decor and atmosphere with awesome service. The food here is fantastic we loved the chicken salad, the pork neck and the prawn and pork spring rolls rolls. We will come back again ! Food is great

I recently visited a high-end Saigonese restaurant. The ambiance was incredibly comfortable, creating a welcoming environment. The food was flavourful; especially the grilled Barramundi. The service was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant.

In a city with unlimited opportunities to eat and explore, this gem is worth a detour. I first ate here just before Covid and the banh xeo was the best I had ever had, the crepe expansive and appealing with crispness and tenderness, and the fresh greens and herbs were as abundant as my own garden. Today I passed by the small street the restaurant is on and was flooded with fond memories of that meal. I made a reservation as soon as I got back to my nearby hotel room and found myself there a few hours later. This restaurant can hold its own with any dining establishment in the city and it may be the best Vietnamese outside the country I've eaten at. Refined but unpretentious, more expensive than most other Vietnamese restaurants, Le Garcon Saigon delivers first-rate quality and superb, balanced food. The pork collar, grilled after a long rest with a sweet, herbaceous marinade, provided a great ratio of meat and fat, and was punctuated by fresh rau ram and the best nuoc cham I've tasted. The crispy fried eggplant put most tempura to shame and managed to retain a light, crispy exterior with a soft-as-jam interior, complemented by a delicious vinegar ginger sauce. Both items were recommended by my server, who gave great descriptions of the food and steered me away from ordering too much as a solo diner. The manager came by my table and offered me a shot of rice wine as a digestif, and its clean, persistent finish rounded out the meal nicely. The music was a bit loud for my liking but the youngish crowd seemed to like it. If I'm in Hong Kong for my next wedding anniversary, this is where we'll celebrate.
