Saigon Saigon is one of the few restaurants in Edinburgh where you can have the traditional dim sum experience.
"Dim sum" translates roughly as "heart's delight." These little morsels take form as dumplings filled with meat, light fresh greens, aromatic fish cakes, miniature pastries, a wide variety of savory or sweet, steamed or fried, hot or cold bite-sized wonders.
With a colourful photograph menu showing various dim sum dishes, it is good for beginners. You just choose what you fancy. Prices are reasonable too.
No wonder Saigon Saigon is the favourite Chinese dim sum restaurant in town.
I went with a friend for dinner and the food was back to quality standard before. The new management seems work well with additional Northern Chinese menu which is well liked by Chinese students. The place was packed with Chinese on Friday night, which was always a good sign.
Before the restaurant had changed hands, I found that the quality of the food was superb. Afterwards there was fatty meat in the roast pork buns and the crispy prawn rolls were very fatty. I agree with you.
I was a bit disappointed with some of the dim sum and I found that the quality was not as good as before. Saigon Saigon is used to be one of our favourite authentic Chinese restaurants. What a pity!
I am a regular at Saigon Saigon. There are lots of tasty dims sums to choose from. My favourite is the steamed pork bun (char sui bau). Nice succulent pieces of pork in a bun that is just right. Aside from dim sum I especially recommend the beef haw fun (beef with flat rice noodles). These are both classic dishes that I have eaten in numerous restaurants in Hong Kong. That Saigon Saigon does them so well is a credit to the chef.
On the ground floor Saigon Saigon looks like a typical Chinese buffet restaurant. Downstairs it gets interesting. As far as I know it is Edinburgh’s favourite dim sum (Chinese dumpling) restaurant. The real thing – good quality too.
I particularly enjoyed the pork buns and rice noodle dishes. The only downside is that like many Chinese restaurants they can be generous with the MSG leaving one thirsty later.
Our family enjoyed the Dim Sum last Sunday. It is of equal quality compared with Hong Kong Chinese restaurants. There was a good choice of dumplings available to suit most tastes. Many local Chinese were dining on Sunday afternoon which is a good sign for quality.
The Chef's recommended Chow Mein (Seafood Chinese fried noodle) which I recommend highly.
