Description

New Saigon has been holding down this spot on South Federal for decades. It's usually packed with regulars who fill the tables and suck down soup, noodles, grilled meats and excellent curries off a huge menu. The Vietnamese coffee is sweet and comforting, the massive bowl of hoanh thanh tom cua bo vien-- a noodle-less Vietnamese everything-in-the-pot soup - perfect for a long lunch or early dinner. It could take a person years to get through everything on this menu - but it sure would be fun to try.

  • 2012 | Best Vegetarian Dish in a Non-Vegetarian Restaurant

    The book-like menu at New Saigon is dizzying, an ocean of letters and numerals with a whole bay of vegetarian options. But we always land on 10N, Bun Tau Hu Xao Sa Ot, located under the noodle bowl section and highlighted in red. Described simply as "stir-fried tofu with lemon grass noodle bowl," this peanut-topped dish is a tangle of thin rice noodles, carrots, mushrooms, snow peas and thin strips of crispy, savory tofu. While New Saigon's fried rice and cari chay curry are also good... More »

  • 2011 | Best Vietnamese Restaurant

    After more than two decades, New Saigon is still the indisputable champion of Vietnamese cuisine on the Front Range. And not only is it the best, but it's the biggest -- at least in terms of its offerings. The menu here is a veritable tome: page after page of Vietnamese dishes offered by Thai Nguyen and his wife (and chef) Ha Pham. The roster includes such specialties as head-on shrimp stir-fried in spicy sauce; goat cooked with lotus root; whole fish, deep-fried; whole crabs, lobster... More »

  • 2007 | Best Taste of Old South Federal

    Back in the day, this stretch of Federal was called Little Saigon because it was the neighborhood most densely populated by the recently arrived wave of post-war Vietnamese immigrants. Not surprisingly, these newcomers to the Rocky Mountain West brought some of the flavors of their old home with them and began founding authentic Vietnamese restaurants among the strip malls. A lot of Vietnamese restaurants. And though many have since closed and successive generations moved out beyond the old... More »

  • 2004 | Best Vietnamese Restaurant

    The only bad Vietnamese food is no Vietnamese food, but the best Vietnamese food being done in Denver is coming out of the kitchen at New Saigon. With hundreds of choices on the menu, dozens of sauces, a friendly and accommodating staff, and plenty of talent in the galley, anyone with a taste for the cuisine of the mysterious East is sure to find something to like at this perennial favorite. And while you're enjoying your spring rolls, nuoc cham and blazing hot curries, you're also getting a... More »

  • 2001 | Best Vietnamese Restaurant

    At long last, we found a better Vietnamese restaurant than New Saigon, one with even more than the hundreds of dishes this place offers, one with even more deeply flavored sauces, one with an even more welcoming attitude. To get there, hop on a plane bound for Saigon. Get off and start walking... More »

  • 2000 | Best Vietnamese restaurant

    Denver has a number of decent Vietnamese restaurants, but New Saigon outshines them all. Although service remains a crapshoot and the tidy, simply adorned place isn't going to win any awards for innovative decor, the Vietnamese dishes that come out of the kitchen are unsurpassed. Choose from hundreds of entrees --many variations on a theme, with the kind of meat making the difference -- and then expect to get nothing but the best, from the egg and spring rolls to the garlic-kissed frogs'...

    it's small, locally owned and tons of food for great prices. I have had vietnamese in several places on Federal, Broomfield and Denver but this is one of the best. Get there early, this place fill up. Especially during weekday lunch. A small army could eat well here for not much money.
