Saiguette New York – Vietnamese counter/takeout – Spotted by Locals

I first returned to the Vietnamese restaurant “Saiguette” in NYC for its light, rich, rejuvenating soups, but I also recommend the pork shoulder sandwich.

Came in for the Pork Belly Banh Mi and was not disappointed by any means. Bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside as it sopped up the juices from the pickled veggies and the sauce. The sauce is mild on the spice with a little tang which complimented both the pickled veggies and pork belly incredibly. Last but certainly not least, the star of the show, the pork belly was sooo tender it basically just melts in your mouth. 10/10 definitely recommend!

Saiguette is one of those hidden gems in NYC that consistently delivers when it comes to Vietnamese comfort food, especially for takeout. I’ve tried a good amount of Vietnamese spots in the city, and while Saiguette doesn’t offer a dine in experience (it’s strictly takeout), they make up for it with flavor, portion size, and speed.

The banh mi here is definitely the standout. Unlike some places that skimp on the fillings, Saiguette really loads it up. The bread is fresh with the perfect balance of crunch on the outside and softness inside, and the fillings are generous you don’t feel like you’re paying just for bread. I also appreciated that the balance of meat, pickled vegetables, and fresh herbs is done right, giving it that satisfying bite every time. Portion wise, it’s more than fair for the price, especially considering NYC standards where you often pay more for less.

Pho and other noodle dishes also come packed with flavor. The broth is rich, and the portions again don’t leave you hungry. For a takeout-only spot, the packaging is practical and sturdy it travels well, and you can enjoy it at home without everything spilling or getting soggy.

The one downside for me was more about the ownership and authenticity. When I asked if the restaurant was Vietnamese owned, one of the workers told me yes. Later on, I found out that the owner is not Vietnamese, which was a bit disappointing, especially after I tried speaking Vietnamese to him and realized it wasn’t the case. It doesn’t take away from the taste of the food, but as someone who values authenticity and cultural roots, it felt misleading.

Overall, though, Saiguette is worth trying if you’re in NYC and craving Vietnamese food. The quality, portion size, and fair pricing make it a solid choice, especially for banh mi lovers. While I wish the ownership had been upfront about the background, I can’t deny that the food itself is good and consistent.

Saiguette has a really excellent Banh Mi. The lemongrass pork shoulder is my absolute favorite, the spicy creamy sauce is delicious and the pork is juicy. The veggies inside are generously portioned and the bread is crispy and soft. I probably eat it once a week and its genuinely almost a perfect sandwich.

i went during lunch time so it was 10% off the Vietnamese iced coffee was strong and sweet. The pork sandwich was delish and so filling. The place doesn’t have any indoor seating. however, its 2 blocks from central park

Worth every moment. Their Grilled Juicy Boneless Chicken Thigh and the Grilled Lemon Grass Pork Shoulder banh mi was a whole new experience worth trying! One of my top choices!!

Seemed to be take-out only. Saiguette offers Laska in their menu. I had not seen many Asian restaurants offered Laska, so I was excited to try this place. I ordered shrimp Laska, lemongrass pork sandwich, and beef pho. Those were classics that I like. The beef pho was as good as I expected. The pork sandwich was great, next time I would like no jalapeños. The noodle in the shrimp Laska was not what I expected, but at least I got to try Laska. Happy!

Don’t sleep on this spot! The lemongrass pork banh mi so damn good and for their lunch special price I don’t think you can get a better deal in the city. This sandwich is packed with pork, veggies, and most importantly, flavor. I highly recommend you to come check this place out.

Best banh mi I’ve had in NYC by far. The lemongrass pork is the thing to get here.

I just finished my sandwich and I already want another one. Interesting that they use pickled jalapeño instead of fresh. My friend fed some of his bread to a duck and he said that the sriracha mayo was still on it and that the duck found it spicy which is why it went to the water after not for any other reason. All these are photos of the same sandwich. I just really liked it.
