This is my second time visiting this majestically breathtaking, not to mention deliciously finger-licking, restaurant. The location itself is wisely chosen as well as the items on the menu and it’s flexibility. The food, the vibes, the deliciousness and also the waiters (especially Bahaa, Gina and Edna) made my family and I more than rapturous and beyond satisfied. I can assure you that this won’t be the last time for us to visit this place. I encourage friend groups and also families to give this place a try because it is not as expensive as one would think it is. That being said, I am looking forward to visiting Saigon once more and trying new menu items.

I hosted an event at Saigon restaurant a few weeks ago and all I can say is that I cannot imagine having had it anywhere else. From my first meeting with Ms. Viola to plan the event I was reassured that every detail would be taken care of and it really was! Snacks and appetizers were set up of the table with impeccable finesse under the supervision of the extraordinary manager Mr. Ahmed Zaki. In addition to, all the safety measures and social distancing that was ensured to make for a safe and enjoyable event. When it came to main courses once again the Saigon team did not disappoint with Chef. Ahmed and Chef Ibrahim whipping out impeccable dishes that were exceptionally flavorful. Of course I want to thank the entire waiting team for all their efforts at ensuring all requests by all guests were met at a timely manner and with great precision. When it came time to leave (we really didn’t want to leave because of the amazing experience). It was ensured that valeted cars were brought to the entrance to ensure a smooth and quick exit from the hotel. Had the day a stopped at that it was already extraordinary but upon leaving we noticed that we had forgotten an Ipod at the restaurant. Mr. Ahmed Zaki was gracious enough to bring it all the way to the lobby so as not to make us have to go back up to the restaurant. I don’t know who to thank first but all I can say is Saigon restaurant has a wonderful team of friendly and genuine people who really do care about there guests. Looking forward to being their again inshallah

it’s one of the top sushi resturants or maybe the best I’ve ever been. I frequently go to Saigon and everytime I feel more special but this time was extraordinary! I booked for my fiancé’s birthday a table for dinner and we were surprised that they made this amazing table decoration for us. The decent staff offered to take us a photo & then turned to an album or a very special album. Chef Ahmed Hassan has made some special dishes that were not listed on the menu. They prepared for us this sushi cake. It was so refreshing. Everyone at the place were extremely descent and the aim was only pampering us. After we finished eating they offered us an amazing cake as a compliment! I was really speechless I really don’t know why this place is a hidden!! Even the bill was extremely reasonable comparing to some other restaurants, way less quality and less service. Thanks to all Saigon’s staff we had an amazing evening and good memory to keep. I do recommend this place if you are looking for a special date with your special ones.

Saigon truly exceeded our expectations. Everything from the intimate ambience to the music to the food was absolutely exquisite. Most probably the best and freshest sushi we have had in Cairo. The menu has so many creative recipes that are worth your time and money. The fried rice and almond prawns are absolutely delicious! Bahaa is an extremely decent, warm and helpful waiter. Truly helped us throughout our dinner and has a lovely personality. Edna was extremely friendly and accommodating with the booking process and ensuring that the seating/decorations were perfect. It was a lovely night that we cannot wait to repeat soon. Highly recommended!

I went with my sister to celebrate my birthday. The food was beyond delicious. Especially sushi. The staff was very helpful and friendly, one of them actually taught me how to use chopsticks. I highly recommend this place and it is not pricey at all. I would definitely go there again and again.

This is not really a sushi bar, rather, there are a number of rolls to be ordered, but minimal Nigiri choices. Thus, we chose a series of hot and cold appetizers. The tempura prawns were delicious and very filling (you get 4 huge prawns in one order); the gyoza was delightful with very light wrappers; the sui mai was a little dry for our taste, but packed with shredded prawn; my husband had Nasi Goreng the first night, and rack of lamb the second, and both were very tasty and artfully plated. I had tuna tataki, and it was tasty, but a little too spicy for me. Cocktails are available, but there was minimal choice in brand of spirits (not sure if this is an Egypt thing or due to COVID). Service was excellent - very friendly, prompt and accurate. Prices are little high, but you have a great view of the Nile while dining, and you are at the Fairmont hotel after all.

We had a wonderful experience from the minute we stepped it until we left with a big smile on our faces and a full satisfied tummy. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was very pleasant and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly specially maître Bahaa who professionally helped us pick our dishes. A big thank you to all the Saigon team who made my son’s birthday dinner a very memorable experience, you will definitely see us again very soon.

My friend and I came to eat at Saigon restaurant during our stay in Cairo. We were served by Gamel who was so friendly and helpful in choosing from the delicious menu. The service and food was outstanding and I can't wait to return in the new year hopefully. Thanks again Saigon, and Gamel! X

The wait staff and chef here really care about your experience and the cuisine. They answered our questions about the food and the area nicely and even the manager came out to talk to us. The food (gyoza, spring roll, Szechuan Beef, and Cashew Chicken) were delicious.

I had an opportunity to do spontaneous trip to Egypt and I was not sure what to expect from the experience. What I did not expect was superior food and hospitality on my first day here! The almond crusted prawns are a must and the sushi is the best I have ever eaten...and save room for dessert!! The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing and the service from a very attentive professional staff reminds me of why a travel. In short, If you are in Cairo, do not miss this place!!!

Expected much more from the number one restaurant in Cairo. Started well with excellent service for wine and entree order. Waiter then disappeared and was replaced by another waiter. Larger tables arrived and they took priority over us. Made what was meant to be a nice meal very disappointing. Entrees we’re good, Salmon was fresh and nice and well prepared. Nigiri was boring and could have come from a food court at a shopping centre. I would recommend some wasabi mayonnaise on top of ngiri to improve it. Prices were expensive for Egypt, but ingredient quality warrants a higher price. We were left for some time with plates on table and waiting to request the bill (about 20 minutes with no attention at all). The ambience is great but the scan menu comes across very cheap and I believe gives a cheap impression. They should completely abolish this concept, it’s no good at all. I recommend they abolish this and stick with traditional paper menus, we had to request ours. In short, food above average, service inconsistent and non existent most of the time. Don’t recommend, try Makino at the Hilton, far better service and you will be treated respectfully if there are two or ten of you. Fairmont will soon learn that being number one and staying number one are two very different things. Save your money go elsewhere.

The hospitality is one of a kind. Bahaa made sure the table was properly decorated for our anniversary with an exceptional view. In addition to that, he made sure we took memorable pictures before the sushi was served. He has great photography skills!!!
