Our first time there and it was incredible. The chef, who is also the food truck server, went above and beyond. First, he explained the whole menu, gave us recs and even lets us try the different meats. We ended up choosing the two pork options and they were soooo good! Super flavorful, tender and with a smoky aftertaste 😍 He even came to check on us multiple times! Will go again soon

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Genuinely such a good experience! From guidance when ordering, to getting the food! I didn’t get to take a picture of the food because everything was just so amazing 😻 I ordered the Saigon Street BBQ Pork, Smoky Ginger Chicken, Vegan Crispy Rolls, and for dessert the Vanilla Custard Creampuffs. 10/10 recommend! Can’t wait to go back 🤩

Overall: 3.7/5 [takeout] We ordered online for takeout around lunchtime. There was no line, and the food was ready when we arrived so pickup was seamless. Signature Lemongrass Pork Bowl ($17): The bowl was pretty small for the price, but it tasted authentic. I liked the egg quiche, the use of actual broken rice, and the nuoc mam. The lemongrass pork, however, was not as good as the BBQ pork. It was a bit dry, and the lemongrass flavor did not really come through. "Broken" Tater Tots ($9): Tots with scallion oil, house-pickled daikon and carrots, topped with Saigon mayo and signature BBQ sauce. We chose BBQ pork as our protein. This was delicious and far better than the rice bowl. The tater tots were still crispy enough by the time we got home, so we did not need to air fry them again. Side of Grilled Meat ($5): We asked for the smoky ginger chicken so we could try all of the meats. The chicken did not look charred or flame grilled; it was actually quite wet, though still tender.
