Saigon Ivy Vietnamese Cuisine

Saigon Ivy was our (as a threesome go to place for lunch after a medical appointment earlier this week we arrived just as it opened at 11am.  This was a first time visit to this small, and relatively new Vietnamese restaurant located on the 'main drag ' in uptown New Westminster.  We had been wanting to try it, finally got the opportunity, and must say, we were delighted with our dining experience.<br/ <br/ The restaurant is small, with four, fixed, 'booth like ' (4 place tables on the one side, and two rows of four (2 4 place tables per each, occupying the rest of the interior space (these tables are not fixed in place, thus, can be moved about somewhat to accommodate 'groups ' larger than...

Finally, good Vietnamese in New West!. Went with my girlfriend and shared everything. We ordered the fried tofu, shrimp salad roll, lemongrass beef over noodles, and beef and meatball pho. The lemongrass beef was incredible, the meat was tender and flavorful. The meatballs in the pho were a little tough, so I think next time I'll order it without. The salad roll was fresh and crisp, and the peanut dipping sauce was presented beautifully, with shredded vegetables and peanuts on top. The tofu was well seasoned, and didn't require any sauce. The restaurant itself was impeccably clean, even the washroom and (what I could see of) the kitchen looked spotless. I'll definitely return with friends.

Awesome pho. This place just opened up not too long ago and it couldn't have come at a better time. I have had their rare beef and tripe pho 3 times already and can't get over how great it is! The broth is light and fresh with a generous amount of beef. .could use a little more tripe but still enough to satisfy the taste buds. Huge portion with plenty of garnish including some fresh jalapeños. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to try some great Vietnamese food. .BBQ pork sub is very tasty as well. Perfect balance. New West desperately needed a place like this especially at that location. Hope it stick around for a long time.

New menu updated as of October 2015! Nice family owned and operated place. PROS: Nice large menu with items that you don 't always see at other Vietnamese restaurants like 'Chicken cabbage salad ', 'Vietnamese Pancake ' 'chicken pho(which actually uses a chicken broth) ' Also, salad rolls are huge! CONS: Spring rolls are uninspired generic bulk frozen items from some warehouse, would be nice to have some hand rolled deep fried rice sheet spring rolls instead, but they don 't have that. CONCLUSION: Service is friendly and fast, and food is decent but not the best I 've had. I will return.
