This was the first time me and my family have been to Bun Saigon. We've eaten downtown plenty of times but for some reason never dropped by this place before. If our family friends didn't invite us to this restaurant then we probably wouldn't know about it.
The restaurant has a modern decor look to it...they probably renovated before. The restaurant is kinda small and there were 9 of us in total. The table was a bit small for all of us and there was water dripping from the ceiling where me and my sister were sitting. So when the food came I decided to eat at a separate table where there wasn't water dripping from the ceiling.
I had the banh cuon (summer roll) and bun bo hue (mild). The banh cuon was yummy and we all finished it before the main course arrived. The main course took a while but we didn't mind because we were all chatting away. The bun bo hue tasted delicious however it was still spicy because my nose was running like crazy and I finished an entire glass of water. That didn't keep me from finishing off my dinner though =P. While everyone had received their food, my mom was still waiting on her banh canh. So if you want to feel left out while everyone is slurping away, I wouldn't suggest ordering banh canh...unless you want to wait a while.
Overall, Bun Saigon is good for their bun bo hue and banh cuon (can't really judge anything else because that's what I only ate). However, the slightly slow service, drippy ceiling, and expensive (for a Viet place), turned me off.
