Saigon '60s

Saigon 60s is the epitome of Vietnamese cuisine abroad. We tried the vegetarian noodle soup and the Vietnamese pancakes both vegan dishes by the way which were all incredibly delicious. The generous portion sizes are extremely filling and the casual atmosphere right in the heat of Rotorua provides a very comfortable environment to eat your meal. There were quite a few vegan options in addition to the ones I tried and I look forward to coming back to try more!

TLDR: vegan options if you're in a pinch, but would recommend elsewhere if you want to visit Flavortown. Service: pretty solid service and knowledgeable about vegan vs. not vegan. They even recommended NOT getting the stir fry noodle because without fish sauce "it is bland." But then our drinks were forgotten. No one else was in the restaurant, but yet we felt a bit like we were bothering them. Food: spring rolls were fine, but a bit greasy for our taste. The pancake was very underwhelming with little flavor or punch the average Vietnamese pancake should have. The filling was JUST raw mung beans and nothing special. The noodle soup was decent, but again, nothing flavorful to make me recommend it. It was warm, it was cooked, and it was fast, but it was not great. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options available, but flavor wise is underwhelming. Kid-friendliness: No

Excellent Vietnamese place Highly recommend the summer rolls. They are fresh, big and super delicious, the egg coffee is worth a go as well. Friendly staff and fast service too.

I had high expectations for this place given the reviews but was disappointed. The meat and noodle portion was tiny for its price egg was extra $3, so this bowl was $20. Although the soup of their beef pho was good, it lacked an acidic element. The noodles had a weird scaly texture, I much prefer pho from try it out. FYI there is no customer toilet and the public toilets were annoyingly closed when I needed it.

The BBQ pork pho is my favourite . The broth they use is so yum . Whenever I’m in Rotorua this is my go to

Really nice food, delish avocado smoothies, reasonable pricing But FYI there is no loo

We came for the warm egg coffee actually, but actually we enjoyed the dishes more

Very fresh and vibrant Vietnamese food, the way it's supposed to be. My vermicelli salad with lemongrass chicken was outstanding and her stir fry with tofu was on point. The summer rolls we shared were full of bright fresh veggies and prawns, but are a bit pricey at $5 each. Nothing was cheap, but the quality of the food was high enough to make us feel we had gotten good value regardless. Funky atmosphere too. Very highly recommended.

A weekly stop for us! Pho is excellent, beautiful fresh ingredients, great service. Vietnamese egg coffee is a must try!Food: 5/5

server/waitress not wearing mask. Food: Udon texture was perfect. Stronger flavours than what we had last time. husband loves their salad with pork. I enjoyed the cold coffee too and avocado smoothie.
