Located in the bustling area of Jl. Tukad Gangga No 20, Panjer, Denpasar Selatan, SaiGon by MeVui offers a delightful dive into Vietnamese cuisine that is both fresh and reasonably priced. The restaurant has garnered a solid reputation, boasting a food rating of 4.3 out of 5, and it’s easy to see why.

One visitor shared their experience, stating, “My friend kept asking me to try Vietnamese food and finally I tried most of it. She is the expert of that food and ordered me the main dish I should try. I love the salad. It tastes very fresh. I love the platter. Generous portion.” This highlights the restaurant’s commitment to freshness and generous servings, particularly with their standout dishes like Banh Mi and Goi Cuon.

Another diner praised the variety, saying, “Delicious, fresh Vietnamese food at a reasonable price. Stopped by for lunch & ordered a variety of dishes from the menu. Fresh spring rolls were excellent as well as the seafood salad.” This speaks to the quality of the ingredients and the skillful preparation that SaiGon by MeVui offers.

However, not all reviews were glowing. One guest noted, “Average, the pho broth too clean and white, need more herbs and flavours.” While they appreciated the texture of the Banh Mi, they felt it lacked aromatic depth. This suggests that while the restaurant excels in many areas, there is room for improvement in certain dishes.

Returning customers seem to enjoy the experience as well. One group remarked, “This is our 2nd time here. We get to order more since there’s 4 of us. Pho Saigon King, Bun Thit Nguong, Pho on Hotstone.” They appreciated the clean, flavorful broth and the hearty portions, although they suggested that the beef slices could be cooked a bit less. This indicates that the restaurant is capable of delivering a satisfying meal, especially for those who enjoy a communal dining experience.

With a cozy atmosphere, SaiGon by MeVui is a great spot for lunch, though parking can be a challenge. It’s advisable to arrive by motorbike or be prepared for some street parking. Overall, if you’re in the mood for authentic Vietnamese flavors, this restaurant is worth a visit, especially for their grilled chicken and fresh spring rolls.

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to SaiGon by MeVui, located at Jl. Tukad Gangga No 20, Panjer, Denpasar Selatan. This place is like a Vietnamese food paradise, and trust me, I’m not just saying that because I’m hungry (which I always am).

First off, let’s talk about the menu. I dove right into their Banh Mi, which is basically a Vietnamese sandwich that could make even a dietitian weep with joy. The baguette was soft yet crunchy, like a perfect balance between a pillow and a rock (but, you know, the edible kind). I ordered the classic pork version, and let me tell you, it was like a flavor explosion in my mouth. I think I heard angels singing.

Next up, I had to try the Goi Cuon (fresh spring rolls). These little bundles of joy were so fresh and crispy that I almost felt guilty for eating them. Almost. I ended up ordering four portions because, well, sharing is overrated when it comes to delicious food. I mean, who needs friends when you have fried spring rolls, right?

Then came the star of the show: the Saigon Pho. Now, I’ve had pho before, but this one was like a warm hug from the inside. The broth was clear and rich in flavor, not greasy at all. It was like the chef had bottled up happiness and poured it into my bowl. I even added extra meatballs because, let’s be real, who doesn’t want more meatballs in their life?

Oh, and let’s not forget about the drinks! I tried the liang tea and ginger pandan, which were refreshing enough to make me forget about my existential crisis. Seriously, if you’re feeling down, just sip on this tea and pretend you’re lounging on a beach somewhere.

Now, a little heads up: parking can be a bit of a scavenger hunt. It’s like playing a game of Tetris with your car. You might have to park on the street, which is fine unless you’re like me and have a tendency to forget where you parked. But hey, it’s worth it for the food!

Overall, SaiGon by MeVui gets a solid 4.3 out of 5 in my book. The food is delicious, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is just right for a casual lunch. So, if you’re in the area and your stomach is growling louder than a lion, you know where to go! Just remember to save some spring rolls for me!
