Saigon Express Hobart

Located in the heart of Hobart’s city centre, Saigon Express CBD is a sleek, stylish Vietnamese restaurant bringing the bold, vibrant flavours of Asia to Tasmania. With a buzzing atmosphere, friendly service, and an eclectic interior and cosy booth seating, it’s no wonder this spot has quickly become a local favourite.

Start your culinary journey with the Chef’s Suggestions, where standout dishes like chicken with lemongrass and chilli and duck in plum sauce set the tone for a flavour-packed meal. The vegetarian options are just as enticing. Don’t miss the mushroom and tofu basil baguette, a satisfying twist on a classic.

For starters, the sesame prawn toast and satay chicken skewers are perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself). Move on to the soup menu, where the comforting combinations of beef soup and spicy Tom yum are top picks. Noodle lovers will be drawn to the egg noodle soups, always a crowd favourite, while the pho menu delivers all the Vietnamese staples you know and love.

The Vietnamese salads are fresh and flavourful, with the sliced rare beef salad standing out for its zesty kick. On the bun menu, highlights include the grilled pork and satay chicken, perfectly charred and full of depth. And for something lighter, the rice paper rolls are a refreshing choice, packed with fresh herbs and your choice of filling.

Top it all off with a drink from the cocktail bar, where the signature kumquat mojito offers a citrusy, refreshing twist. Whether you’re after a casual lunch or a vibrant dinner, Saigon Express CBD promises a memorable experience bursting with modern Vietnamese flair.
