    Be careful if you ask for the chilli, it packs a punch!

    I would kill a man for a crispy pork belly roll from here, without hesitation.

    The pho broth from this food court style Viet restaurant is decent. The serving size is good for $10 and a decent amount of meat included. The reason why it's only ok is that it did not come with any of the sides (bean sprouts, mints, lemon) and condiments.

  • 5/5 Sophie G. 5 years ago on Google
    All i'll say is try the crispy pork - in the roll, vermicelli salad, rice paper rolls or in a rice bowl... It's all 11/10. Gets really busy at lunch time but so worth the wait.

    Enjoyed the Banh mi. Roll isn't so crusty compared to others but they have wholemeal roll option. Viet BBQ pork was very tasty, sweet, salty and peppery. Crackling pork was nice and crunchy. Good value.

    Lovely lemon grass beef roll and very decently priced but the opening hours are always different. Went at half 2 today and they were closing up (this has happened many times before). Would be 5 stars if they could keep to their opening hours.

    Friendly staff and amazing food. Love everything on the menu and I've never been disappointed. Great quality,great price every thing is fresh and always made daily.

    Ordered beef pho and soy chicken paper rolls and the taste is not authentic vietnamese food. There was no aroma in the broth and the taste is bland as you cannot taste the star anise and the cinnamon in the broth.They served the pho with no mint leaf, corriander and lime. Live in Ho Chi Minh for a while and you know exactly what an authentic Vietnamese noodles tastes like.

    Love the crackling pork rolls! Delicious, crackling is perfect every single time. I have to say the Warrawong location is a lot more generous with their meat and the roll construction in general is a lot better, and much nicer bread rolls. Wollongong I’ve noticed I get mostly carrots and coriander stems with the pork in a small line on one side of the roll. Still yummy though!

    Look, it was probably my own fault ordering a lemongrass tofu Bahn mi with wholemeal buns. The lemongrass tofu was quite good and they put a decent amount inside the buns. I could get behind this. However, but the wholemeal bun was so stale. It was hard to chew and I ended up just opening it up and chucking out the bread which was such a waste. The carrots also tasted like they had be soaking in water. My mum used to do this to make them last longer but it tastes like watered down carrots. So after waiting a solid 20min and $8.50 later, maybe this was a one off experience but it was very disappointing. The wholemeal bread was such a great idea but executed poorly and I will be keen to come and support the place if it ever changes.

    The spicy chicken noodle soup is amazing. The satay chicken roll is good too. 10/10 Ps I wish you guys would stay open later so I could come for dinner.

    The meat in the vermicelli salad was absolutely appalling. In response to the owner: I ordered a beef vermicelli salad. The beef was chewy, tough, rubbery and had an awful flavour. Something was not right and I threw it out. I wasn’t able to feedback to staff at the time as I quickly popped in on my lunch break.

    Vegans rejoice. This is our favourite little go to a few times a month. Vegan Pho. Vegan Bahn Mi - delicious vegan pork. New vegan laksa is amazing. Staff are friendly and the owners are awesome, always trying to improve and help people with changing food preferences! Thanks guys!

    The Sesame Park bowl was quite disappointing. The meat was tough and slightly dry and a salad with mostly comprised of shredded iceberg lettuce.

  • 4/5 Daniel X. 1 year ago on Google
    The Banh mi is average here. The BBQ pork in the Banh mi was tasty enough but the bread was soft and chewy.

  • 5/5 JAX Tyres & Auto W. 1 year ago on Google
    Always provides beautiful lunches for the crew. Crackling pork rolls with chilli and dumpling soup are our go to! Always fresh and great customer service

  • 2/5 Jaydyn23 1 year ago on Google
    Was definitely not worth the price for the crispy pork roll as the bread was stale and meat was dryish. However, the other fillings had good flavour. The minced bbq pork had no flavour. Also waited 20 minutes with only 2 people in front of me. Definitely not “The best pork rolls in Sydney” as described on the menu board.

  • 5/5 Paul R. 1 year ago on Google
    Crispy pork rolls, spicy chicken noodle soup, I should say everything NICE🙏😋😊

  • 5/5 Szwecy 9 months ago on Google
    The food is great and will be worth the wait during food rushers. There is something for everyone with a good range of food but my favourite will always be the pork chop and rice.

  • 1/5 Diana D. 9 months ago on Google
    Why is the lady screaming at everyone??? So rude n unprofessional. She was screaming -take step back multiple times like i was some sort of monster or something. I will tell everyone i know not to go there

    The perfect Vietnamese hole in the wall. Get the grilled pork and it’ll change your life.

  • 5/5 Connor B. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Josh K. 4 years ago on Google
    According to my wife, the spicy beef boodle soup is the best one around! The 5 spice pork roll is superb as well!

  • 5/5 Gayle K. 4 years ago on Google
    I've been here a few times with friend and we have always enjoyed our meal. Very authentic. Can get really busy with queue out the door waiting for a table. So pick your times wisely

    Amazing food. Great vegetarian and vegan options. Including delicious fake meat that tastes real. I recomend the bánh mì-roll with the charsiu pork. Five stars would recomend.

    Tastless banh mi.. better to go to Sydney to find a very authentic one. Lemon grass beef? I cant taste any lemon grass.. very bland. Dissapointed....

  • 4/5 Ross t. 4 years ago on Google
    Its fine

  • 1/5 Brian M. 4 years ago on Google
    Any Australian restaurant that refuses to give you table water - tap water when you're buying food should be ashamed of themselves. I'd already bought a meal and was going to buy a juice drink from the fridge but wanted some table water too - they refused stating they sell water (in bottles) only. Won't be going back to Saigon Sense ever again. There's plenty of other good places in the Gong to chose from where the food is better and they wont try to force to you buy water when you're really dehydrated and just want a drink before eating your meal.

    These guys are the bomb..

  • 5/5 Jake K. 4 years ago on Google
    Did have this joint rated 4 stars... had to update, 5 star chicken Pho. Good stuff.

  • 1/5 Kastro De La C. 4 years ago on Google
    Unauthentic Vietnamese food. Horrid pork rolls and unappetising pho and to top it off the price is ridiculous.

  • 5/5 Daniel W. 4 years ago on Google
    Best crispy pork rolls in the gong.

  • 5/5 Andy S. 4 years ago on Google
    I really liked this place but then I tried the spicy stuff on the counter and I fell in love

  • 2/5 Nick L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A bowl of rice noodles filled with MSG. I want to drink water after eating. (Original) 一碗充滿味精的河粉.食完很想喝水.
