About Saigon Street Eats - St Kilda

Saigon Street Eats serves the benchmark pho along Chapel Street, simmering a fragrant, slow-crafted nước dùng that draws noodle soup purists across Melbourne. The kitchen anchors its menu on deep broth fundamentals—from rich beef simmered down for hours to a specialty beef short rib soup loaded with moist, fall-apart meat. Regulars come in for the lunch combos pairing crusty banh mi and crisp spring rolls with a snack-sized pho cup, while plant-based and allergy-conscious eaters lean on dedicated vegan and soy-free broths alongside salt and pepper tofu.

  • Benchmark Pho: Aromatic, balanced broth served in hearty portions, widely treated by noodle regulars as the Melbourne benchmark.
  • Signature Short Rib: Special-edition cut featuring exceptionally tender, savory beef submerged in deeply spiced broth.
  • Allergy & Plant-Forward Options: Accommodates strict diets with dedicated soy-free broths, vegan options, and crisp salt and pepper tofu.
  • Pho Cup Combos: Combines a snack-sized pho cup with crusty banh mi and crispy spring rolls for a complete midday meal.

  • Soy-Free and Plant-Based Broth Inclusivity

    Thoughtfully accommodating severe allergies and plant-based diners with dedicated soy-free broths and extensive vegan selections.

    they do a vegan broth and other vegan options and they are all unreal. My daughter is also allergic to soy which usually in an asian restaurant is impossible, but they have options for her also as the broths are no soy.

  • Snack-Sized Pho Cups and Value Combos

    A rare snack-friendly cup portion and lunch combo format combining banh mi, spring rolls, and pho for midday dining.

    I had lunch combo A for $18 (Bahn Mi, spring rolls and pho cup) and I have to say wow!

  • Crowd-Pleasing Dietary Catering for Gatherings

    Generous, entirely vegan catering options that reliably satisfy mixed gatherings of vegan and non-vegan guests alike.

    We ordered catering through SSE for an entirely vegan party as they had so many great options. The food was all amazing, all our non-vegan gave such great feedback.
