Saigon Bleu 西貢 in Croydon

Good food, good service! The manager was really sweet and kind, I ate at my own pace without feeling like I needed to rush. The broth was light and flavourful. And the service with a smile is so refreshing, felt like I was eating at a family member’s home. I look forward to visiting again soon!

I visit saigon Bleu very often. Authentic Vietnamese food.

Best pho I ever had very authentic and tasty

Best Vietnamese food I've tried so far in London. Deserves more recognition. The place is quite cosy, the staff are friendly and really put effort in which is nice to see. Really good food and quick service. I recommend getting the salt and pepper wings, curry king prawn with rice noodles and the summer rolls.

Very good Vietnamese food! Staff were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back

We've wanted to come here for a few weeks and popped in this afternoon. Really nice place. The food tastes really good, Pho Chicken had amazing flavours. Really nice atmosphere. Service great too, and all a good price too. Everything goes together really well here and we'll be going back for sure.

Good quality authentic Vietnamese restaurant, glad to have one local in Croydon!

The staff is friendly. We never wait much at all even though the restaurant is usually full. We came here before for pho, sa te and curry soups which weren't tasty. In my personal opinion, the pho broth was a bit too thin, not flavourful enough and the noodles were too cooked. The curry and sa te soups were not soups as they had a stew-like consistency. They're just too heavy to be enjoyable, especially considering the portion size and the way it's served with the noodles. I wouldn't recommend either of those dishes and for the sa te/curry, I would actually rather see them served as meat dishes with a side of rice rather than noodle soups. However, we enjoy the banh cuon, the Saigon special and the grilled pork chops. The portions are good and the marinade for the meat is authentic.

Food was lovely not one complaint customer service was one of a kind, dined for one and was treated with great care

Fantastic and friendly service. They even have karaoke to entertain. Definitely visiting again. Good food , authentic Vietnamese flavoured.

A lovely Vietnamese restaurant 😊 The spring rolls are very crispy and the spicy noodle soup was excellent. I’ll definitely go back to this restaurant! ✨

Unexpectedly delicious! Both soup and rice are delicious, the soup is rich enough and the barbecue is fragrant! Definitely worth recommending!

Absolutely fantastic food, great service and lovely atmosphere.

The food is of a high standard and delicious and the service is great

Nathan is a great owner/host who makes you feel welcome from the start. Lovely choices on the menu and great portion sizes. Prompt attentive service and good value. Loved the karaoke event they do at the end, inviting people to come up and sing. Great for a group night out!🥰

The best restaurant in Croydon and surrounding areas.

Amazing food, very fresh and authentic taste! Staff were very nice and very helpful. Very good atmosphere too and nice food presentation. Will definitely be coming here again.

Recommended by my friend, I find the pork rice is the best taste here. Beef soup noodle is also good. Environment is clean and comfort, good service.

It's a real authentic pearl in South Croydon. We returned because we loved pho and banh chuon! The dishes are consistently good and the owners are very nice and friendly. Highly recommended!

Great food, generous portions, well priced, and lovely staff. Couldn't ask for more.

It’s delicious. The price is very cheap. The boss’s service is very good. I must come again.

Lovely food, really enjoyed. Staff very polite and attentive. Recommended

Finally an authentic Vietnamese place in Croydon. I had betel leaf beef and bun bo hue and both tasted amazing and authentic. Warm and welcoming service. We even got free fruits after our meal.

Went to Saigon Bleu for lunch with my parents. The food was delicious and we had excellent service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, you won't go wrong for authentic vietnamese food.

The best Vietnamese in south Croyden The owner is Nathan is amazing Get there later to experience the vibe for food and karaoke 🕺🏿🕺🏿🕺🏿 @LiveDanceCreate #LDC

Delicious food, friendly staff. Great experience. Will be back again for sure.

Authentic and omg the mango salad and pho is 100% - we will be back.

Absolutely amazing food. Speechless!!

Best Vietnamese restaurant in South London. Best spring rolls full stop.

From a Vietnamese person this is very authentic and delicious. The manager was super friendly and my white boyfriend got to test out some of his Vietnamese and kareoke skills. The ca phe sua da (iced coffee) is the best we've had in the UK. We will definitely be coming back.

Lovely, helpful staff for newcomers to Vietnamese cuisine. Food was fresh and tasty and atmosphere was lovely. We over-ordered and left with enough food for two dinners and two lunches, which was excellent value. Highly recommended.

Food absolutely delishous and tremendous value for money. Staff helpful and friendly. Cannot fault it.

I chose this place intrigued by the reviews and it has now become my favourite local restaurant. The restaurant is clean, beautifully decorated and we were served by Nathan who was super sweet and made us feel so welcome. He recommended us a few dishes as it was our first time trying Vietnamese food and it was all amazing. My husband and I absolutely loved the pancake - packed full of flavour. I think this has to be one of my favourite restaurants in London ! We’ll 100% come back!

Whilst the staff were very friendly and welcoming I found the food to be generally mediocre and over priced. e.g. nearly £8 for three small spring rolls. Service was slow as well.

We were looking for a Vietnamese restaurant in the Croydon area, and having eaten here this is the only Vietnamese you need to head to if in the area. This restaurant is a cut above many others I've eaten at around London, including those in Hoxton. When we arrived outside this place looked very swanky, from the cool and sophisticated restaurant sign to the big glass doors showing the inside decor. As we entered there was a big table full of a Vietnamese family, so there was the authenticity validation before viewing the rest of the splendid restaurant when being shown to our table. On the menu were many different options, but not too many unlike some Vietnamese restaurants that list 100s of items. We decided on getting with Betal Beef and Fried Pork Spring Rolls, then for mains to share we had the Pho Special and a beef noodle dish we cannot remember the name of. I've been to a few Vietnamese restaurants and also a Vietnamese household to now know when receiving good food, and what we got was great food. I'd rate this as the best Vietnamese we'd visited in London. All the food was very well cooked and put together, before being served with plating worthy of an Instagram post. As always when getting Vietnamese we always get some Pho, selecting the special which had very tender beef and a lovely broth. The portion sizes were very satisfying too, not feeling uncomfortable as the dishes were freshly cooked with quality ingredients used as seen on photos. It was the people in this restaurant that helped us have an amazing time, as the staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and hospitable. It felt they were so friendly I'd return just for that experience alone as the Manager was very personable and made us feel at ease. Apart from the usual checks on the food, he did something that was very respectful and kind. A big table of Vietnamese guests wanted to do some karaoke (something we didn't know was available, consisting of Vietnamese songs). Firstly to know the level of fun and enjoyment can be increased was a bonus, but to share in the enjoyment of those singing and entertaining us massively added to the authentic experience we received (Vietnamese people love karaoke). Maybe next time... 😅 My summary is that this is one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've been to in London, and we would gladly return. Authenticity is what I always want, but to receive a high level of service and food in a very colourful & tasteful venue sets this restaurant apart from many others. Most people would gravitate towards going for Vietnamese in areas like Hoxton, however if you travel you'll have an experience you'll want to share with the rest of the world! 🇻🇳💜

Croydon is lucky to have this gem! Personally, one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I’ve tried in London. Every dish is delicious, service is 10/10, atmosphere is 10/10. Would highly recommend

Great service and very hospitable, will definitely be coming back.

We came as a recommendation and boy we were not disappointed. The food is AMAZING freshly made and super tasty. Tasted authentic and home made. We absolutely loved it 🥰 Two areas of improvement for me. Firstly the menu. For us non Vietnamese 🇻🇳 it would be great that the dishes photo on the menu matched the dish. As the name doesn’t say much to us. Also one photo is used for all dishes LOL makes no sense. Also, the waitress was a bit cold. When we ordered and food was delivered. Various sauces were given but no explanation on how we should eat it when asked we got the shortest answer and had to ask for each dish when you could have already assumed we are not familiar so explaining the dish would be nice. But this is minor and easy for them to improve. But will definitely come back the food was outstanding.

Amazing food, so fresh and full of flavour. We came in for lunch as I had heard good things and we were not disappointed at all. The food was very fresh and delicious and the portions were good. The lady who served us was very helpful, moving tables to accommodate our baby buggy and providing extra fish sauce so we could have as much as we wanted on our noodles. Loved it and can't wait to come back!

The food here is amazing. As a Caribbean person trying different cuisine is always going to be an experience. The food is well portioned, has amazing taste. The staff are helpful and friendly and the atomosphere of the restaurant is beautiful.

Delicious food, friendly service. Highly recommended.

South End is a rare bright light in the darkness that Croydon has found itself recently. Here there is good Vietnamese food at a decent price. Just over £100 for 4 people, but did not drink alcohol, which would impact on the price. I can say with confidence, best salt and pepper squid ever, and authentic spring rolls! Not too spicy if that's an issue. Service is excellent and will definitely come back.

Such a lovely addition to Croydon! Some of the best Vietnamese food we’ve had in London. They’re always so lovely too! Every single dish we have tried there has been incredible. Our new favourite spot!

I don't know how long this restaurant has been open, but don't miss out on a truly amazing place. The venue is stunning, the staff amazing and the food is truly out of this world. This is my first time here, and certainly won't be my last. It is great to see a new restaurant like this in South Croydon. The presentation and variety of dishes is mind-blowing. The food is truly authentic. A couple passed us on the way out and asked what it was like, and I said you truly are in for an amazing treat. Get down there if you like Vietnamese food.

We came as a group of 8 to celebrate a birthday. The food is amazing and flavoursome and they dont skimp on portions. There is a lot of fresh leaves in the cooking which really compliment the flavours. Drinks are plentiful and the service is brilliant. Nathan is fantastic, he really looked after us and suggested dishes to try. They even brought cake out. We will go back. The cost for 8 was very good compared to other places we have eaten. For a well priced meal with plentiful food go here. In fact just go here Highly recommended.

I've been here twice now and love the food! The crispy noodles with beef was really nice, the sauce wasn't too salty, Vietnamese meat & vegetarian spring rolls were delicious, oh so was the pancakes served with fresh green vegetables

We visited a few weeks ago as a little treat for the family. We love Asian food and it was the soup that sealed it for us. We went in and it is open, clean, bright and a great atmosphere. The place slowly filled up. The food was plentiful and the service very good. The owner arrived and came over to see us, what a lovely chap. Would.defo go back. The food is full of flavour and plentiful definitely worth a visit. We will go back.

Love the food, very authentic, reminds me of living it Vietnam. Highly recommend, incredible value for money and the service is brilliant - very friendly!

Fantastic service, food and over all, very clean place. I loved the food. We had karaoke after lunch and the owner was very welcoming about it. 10/10

As soon as we entered the restaurant we were met with a wave of kindness by the staff. Although we waited a while for our food, it was definitely worth it as the taste of the food was sublime. Absolutely blown away by this hidden gem of a restaurant! I recommend you give it a try if you’re visiting or living in the area.

Food is really good with friendly workers and good recommendations if you don't know what you what to order

Came across this place today. I’m a local and have been wanting a Vietnamese restaurant to open up so I had to try. Wow. It doesn’t disappoint. Everything I ordered was 10/10, Spring Roll starters, Beef Special Pho, the quails to name a few. So glad this is here now I can get my Vietnamese fix whenever I need.

This is a welcome addition to the South Croydon restaurant hub. The food is fresh, very filling and reasonably priced. It's our 3rd time here and they'll be plenty of more visits soon.

Amazing food and great service.

I'm celebrating my bestie birthday Service is so professional Nathan is the best We have already booked 2 birthday parties Please come in and enjoy the food and the entertainment Love ❤️ from Lyli

We love the time we spent there. The staff were niece and friendly. After being seated they quickly gave complimentary prawn crackers. Food was just in time, was hot and was very delicious. We had a great time and they even gave us some fruit, hand wipes, and candy. Me and my family decided that we will go back and eat here regularly. Thanks for the fine meal guys!!!

Definitely found my go-to Vietnamese restaurant in Croydon now! Had a very authentic and tasty dinner here. Ordered the spring rolls, bun bo hue and pork and fried rice and they were all 10/10

BEST vietnamese restaurant in London. Diverse, delicious and decadent. I would really recommend trying it if you're in the area, I went with two of my friends for lunch and the food is unforgettable, so was our super cute waitress! The beef wrapped in betel leaf is a must! I will be back for more

Great addition to the area. Some of the best Vietnamese in London. ~£12/13 for high quality/large portion main dishes feels very reasonable too.

fantastic food and lovely service , glad to see this in croydon :)) !

Party of 8 (adults and children) on a Saturday night. Service was impeccable throughout. Dishes were all excellent and enjoyed by all, would definitely go again.

What a great way to end a Saturday - the staff was super lovely and welcome and helped us out with choosing our dishes. Had the bahn cuon which was fresh (best I’ve had) and the prawn curry which was HOT in temperatures (despite it being in December) and had so much flavours - my new fav restaurant in Croydon ! And great to support a new local business

Really enjoyed the very tasty beef pho special. The staff were were very friendly and welcoming. Will be eating here again.

We had to wait for half an hour for the food and it wasn't even that busy

Fantastic new restaurant in the south of Croydon. Came here to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday, they were warm and welcoming , we found food for my 5 year old diuaghter, she really enjoyed the quail and we want the recipe! The owner was personable and had a special moment with me and my husband to celebrate his birthday. The waiter was attentive and made several good recommendations, the beef Noddles were superb. We left full, the portion for the appetizers are well worth the money and we had to take most of our mains home because we were so ful.

Such a nice restaurant. I and my husband really enjoyed the food here. First time with good experience so definitely come back.

We wanted good Pho without having to drive too far! It was delish and did not disappoint! Great restaurant, friendly and clean! We will be coming back—opening hrs on the weekend a bit funny! Would go more often if it’s open from 2-onwards.

Really good food and service. Can recommend the quail, steamed rice rolls, pho and grilled pork.

Food was excellent and the atmosphere was amazing. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to return!

An excellent authentic Pho and a pleasant setting. Will dine out here

Definitely the best Vietnamese food I ever had! Very nice restaurant, great service and staff! Highly recommend the curry!

Best Vietnamese food in Croydon that I had in my life and enjoyed the service from the owner and love the hospitality. Thank you and I highly recommend to everyone.

Delicious food with great service atmosphere. On our second visit we had the spring rolls, pork skewers with vermicelli and herbs, and king prawn fried rice. Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. Will define be going back!

Pretty poor value for money. Small portions. Added a 10% service charge for no service other than putting the plate on my table with knives & forks. Won't be returning.

I’ve been wanting to try this place since it first opened. I love Vietnamese food and have struggled to find anything decent since I moved to South Croydon 1.5 yrs ago. Happy to say I was not disappointed. The food was GREAT. I had the spring rolls (flavourful and perfectly crispy) and the seafood noodles (wetter/saucier than I was expecting, but extremely tasty nonetheless less). It was more difficult for my friend, who is vegetarian. She had the summer rolls and was able to request tofu. However, she was in the mood for Pho but there wasn’t a veggie option available. In the end she went for the beef broth but with tofu and bean curd, instead of beef. Thankfully she didn’t mind being a “flexi-vegetarian” on this occasion. If not, there wouldn’t have been any Pho for her! The service could’ve been a little bit faster but overall the staff were warm and lovely. Really liked them! The restaurant was nicely decorated, and clean too. I’d say it’s a little small for how nice they are. As in, I went on a Weds and it was quite busy by the time we left. I can only imagine it on a Thurs, Fri or Sat. I foresee Saigon Bleu becoming a bit of a neighbourhood gem. They’re going to need more space! I will definitely be going back. I plan to work my way through the whole menu 😂

Amazing food, relaxing atmosphere, and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Newly opened Vietnamese restaurant in South Croydon. We were a group of 5 walk in and they were able to accommodate. The food was so good that we had none left over! staff friendly and service was excellent. The background music in the restaurant was really loud 📢 Definitely will be going again tho..

nice atmosphere, good authentic food

Best Vietnam restaurant in London!

Delicious Melbourne 🇦🇺 Vietnamese restaurant in Croydon! I grew up in Melbourne and am Vietnamese by background, so I was extremely happy to find out that Nate spent time there to learn the dishes that tastes like home! The lighting, music and atmosphere also has the same vibe as in Melb too! I've thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes here and taking friends to try and spread of them, and some of my favourites are: - Special Saigon Rice (aka com tam) - Beef or Chicken Pho - Banh Cuon - Nem Nuong - Pork vermicelli noodles - Summer rolls Honestly, you won't be disappointed with any of the dishes you try! 😋

Saigon Bleu is a newly opened, Vietnamese restaurant. It was a joyful experience eating in; the service was very welcoming. The man came to greet us with bows and cheerful smiles, he was friendly and gave us complimentary items. With a few improvements on faster service & tweaks on the food. I believe this place would be fantastic; e.g. pancake could be crispier or the broth could be less sweet. Nonetheless, thank you for serving us! They even have a karaoke floor!

Beautiful new restaurant, reasonably priced, beautiful setting, some veggie options

Went for a friend’s birthday do and the staff made it such a lovely experience with fantastic service! The food was really tasty and in good portion sizes, the prices were reasonable too. Definitely recommend the prawn curry and salt & pepper dishes! Would 10/10 recommend to a friend.

Excellent food, including some options not found on the menus of other vietnamese restaurants in the area. The Bánh cuốn were great, and the grilled chicken was especially good - charred and crispy in all the right places and still juicy in the middle. Good iced coffee too. Service was friendly and relaxed. Definitely one we'll come back to.

Food was excellent. Very authentic and fresh wtth good flavours. The bun bo hue was better than some I've had in Vietnam.

The food is really tasty, Friendly staff, great service, highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.

Nice restaurant with very polite owner. Good food.

Great new place. Excellent staff! Gorgeous food!

Two visits, trying to experience as much of the menu as possible. Both visits felt very welcome and cared for by the owner and family. Highly recommended for authenticity, speed of service and value for money

Great new addition to the South Croydon restaurant scene. Lovely decor and great to have a different menu offering. Food was really tasty and reasonably priced. Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome

The restaurant is beautiful, great to take photos which my daughter loved. The Vietnamese dishes are also so delightful and the service is amazing! The staff are so friendly and helpful :) 10/10 experience.

Great authentic experience, food & service were excellent. Generous portions, good value for money. Highly recommended the pho.

Saw this place by accident last weekend and come back this weekend again! We are so impressed with the service, the atmosphere and most importantly authentic Vietnamese food! If you love pho this is the best place for you!

It was very good authentic homemade food I really enjoyed it

Great atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff. Couldn't have asked for more. So glad I found this new restaurant, it looks really clean and nicely decorated, and it has air con too! There is also free on-street parking nearby in the evenings after 6pm.

New restaurant in Croydon, great service, super friendly and food is lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Went here with my wife after work today. I was very impressed. The staff were very attentive and friendly, the food was really fresh with great flavour and plentiful portions. Pricewise I was very happy, each dish averages £11 but comes as a complete meal. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and had a nice ambience to it.

We visited here and really loved it, will be back again:-) we had the steady pancakes and summer rolls which were great! Crispy beef noodles as a main also great! Only giving 4 as the pho wasn't as good as others we've had but it was still delicious. Really friendly staff and atmosphere. Definitely give them visit.

Some vegetarian options, very accommodating. Air conditioner was very welcome. Very busy and a bit slower because of it, but by no means bad. Staff was friendly.

This is a great spot -staff are lovely and the food is fantastic. Recommend the soft shell crab, summer rolls and spring rolls
