The Essence of Saigon, Vietnamese Cuisine

Saigon cuisine is uniquely defined by its adaptation of specialties from various regions of Vietnam rather than having its own distinct dishes. Saigonese people excel in transforming these regional specialties to create a cuisine that resonates with local tastes, making it easily accessible and cherished by the community. This innovative approach is a hallmark of Saigon's culinary identity.

Saigon essence is proud to be popular and be a part of Vietnamese Cuisine

Our Head Chef

Meet  Chef  Kevin Nguyen—the creative force behind our family‑owned Saigonville Restaurant. A graduate of Northwestern Culinary Arts with a focus on Saigon‑style Vietnamese cuisine, Kevin infuses classic Saigon flavours with refined Western techniques to craft dishes you won’t find anywhere else.

 

Before opening Saigonville with his family, Kevin spent two years as Chef de Partie at a Michelin‑recognized street‑food hotspot on Vancouver’s Commercial Drive, where he became known for rolling out bold, crowd‑pleasing specials. Born and raised in Saigon, he brings more than 18 years of hospitality know‑how and a warm, customer‑first spirit to every service.

 

Pull up a chair, relax, and taste Kevin’s latest creations—made with love by a family that can’t wait to welcome you.
