About Saigon One

Saigon One delivers generous bowls of fragrant pho and hearty southern Vietnamese classics with swift, no-nonsense hospitality. Regulars bypass Clayton Road by ducking in directly through the rear entrance off the car park, settling beneath walls lined with photo menus. Tables fill quickly with bowls of steamy beef and tendon noodle soup, crunchy prawn spring rolls, and smoky grilled pork chop com tam with crisp pickled vegetables. A spoonful of house chilli paste oil across the clear broth rounds out the spread.

  • Rear Car Park Access: Direct entry from the back car park allows quick, convenient dining without street-parking delays.
  • Visual Photo Menus: Laminated dish photos along the dining room walls make ordering quick and straightforward.
  • Generous Vietnamese Staples: Known for generous portions of rich pho broth alongside grilled pork vermicelli and broken rice plates.
