Service was attentive. Open kitchen was a nice touch so that you could see chefs working. Pho served piping hot with the usual accompaniments; however, we had to request chili sauce twice before they finally brought it out. Companion, who grew up on pho and maintains high standards for it, was pleased with her dish and the general ambience. Would recommend if in Buenos Aires and craving pho!

Wow! Simply I am lost for words. As a tourist to Buenos Aires, I knew I needed to get some non…read moreArgentinian/Italian/Spanish cuisine. We stumbled upon Saigon noodle bar randomly and decided to go an hour and fifteen minutes before they were going to close. The restaurant was smaller, very intimate, but cozy. We were quickly seated, ordered, and got incredible food. I got the curry with beef and it was amazing! Simply some of the best food I've had. I also accompanied this with a jamiaca soda (non alcoholic), and it was amazing! 100% a must try in Buenos Aires.

First of all this place is called Asian Cantina so don't let name Cantina Sunae fool ya. It was so…read moregood that we came back 2 nights in a row. Hot take: I think it's better than Nino Gordo. There was literally food on my face but the food was so good that the bigger concerns was getting another bite in mouth so I didn't wipe it off. - Drinks (basil lemonade and gin gimlet) - 12/10 - Roti - packed a punch of flavor and was also a little spicy (which we have been missing in this city). Wish I could put this in my pocket and eat it later back in the US. I got a little mad at my boyfriend cuz he ate most of it the second night but it's okay cuz we ordered a second one because it was that good. - 13/10 - Tempura Pao - Good but not great 7.5/10 - Khao Soi - very spicy but also very good! 10/10 - Tuna salad - more like ceviche 11/10

My husband and I both ordered the Khao Soi and were glad to see it was vegetarian. It was delicious but so so spicy! We can handle Asian spice but this was next level. May be worth asking this to be made to your spice tolerance for this dish. The decor and ambiance was excellent, the food was tasty! Recommend overall.

They take payment in usd or you can use your card. Can accommodate large groups and when it's warm has outdoor seating too. The downside is that the servers aren't the most attentive. We had a hard time getting them to notice us to get more water.

This is the best curry I've had in Buenos Aires. The atmosphere is very nice inside the restaurant…read moreand if possible, I would absolutely recommend sitting on top of the elevated upstairs stage. The service was prompt and all the food presentation was beautiful. I did like that Green Bamboo provided metal chopsticks to use during the meal and everything was also fairly priced at around $315. The curry was very delicious and I literally scraped my bowl clean at the end of the meal. I came to this place on a recommendation and I would be eager to pass that recommendation on to anyone else looking for one. It was recommended by both a local student and by my international studies travel advisor. Meal presentation was excellent and no one in our group of 4 was disappointed with what they ordered.

She didn't come until 30 minutes later because she was doing other things. Finally when she arrived she didn't clean the table but instead asked us if we were ready to order. It took another 20 minutes for the food to arrive. The pho is probably the worst pho I've tasted in my life. The flavor is nowhere near how a pho should taste. Even the boxed stuff is better. The restaurant is modern looking but cleanliness can be improved.

We were greeted right away and got to choose our own seat, the menus are in Spanish and although they had a QR code for what I imagine is a menu in english, unfortunately it never loaded. The place was pretty much empty so we got our food pretty quick. I had the pho with beef, the broth was alright, it needed more flavor so I went ahead and added some condiments to my liking. I was surprised that my noodles were not spaghetti thin like I'm used to in the states, instead they were wide rice noodles which I normally have whenever I have Thai food with some veggies and rice. The pho was alright, I feel like I was chasing a flavor that never came, it wasn't terrible but it wasn't great and for the price, I expected more because yes, it was pricey. Now the fried pork rolls wow, UH-MAY-ZING! They were rich in flavor, nicely golden , crunchy on the outside and a little chewy on the inside, just perfect, they came with lettuce leaves on the side and some kind of shredded pickled carrots and radish marinated in some sauce, that was sooo good too. Honestly I'd go to this place just for the rolls. For drinks, they had a list of wines, beer, sodas and lemonades. I was intrigued by the sparkling hibiscus and it did not disappoint, it was served with some slices of grapefruit and it was very refreshing, I would have loved if it was sweeter but that's just my preference. Our table had napkins/chop sticks, soy sauce and hot sauce in the middle for our consumption. I would probably come back for a quick bite with friends just to have the fried rolls and because the service was quick, I probably wouldn't have the pho anymore. Be mindful that it is pricey, specially for Argentina. I paid very close to what I would pay if I were to eat at a Vietnamese place in NY.

It was the only thing I ate for the day, so provenance isn't in doubt as to place, though as to what caused it? Who knows. Most likely either raw veggies or hands that weren't properly washed. At the same time, it's not the sort of place that felt like that would be a regular occurrence, and they were mortified when I contacted them about it, and promised to sort it out. Which made me think I ought to give them a second visit. As did the fact that the place comes recommended by at least a couple of foodie folk I know. On, however, this visit, and looking at just the food, they have a lunch special for 200 pesos ($8.50) that includes a choice of appetizer and a choice of bao. For the former I went with a classic Vietnamese nem, or fried springroll. It was tasty, but a bit oily inside because, as you can see from when I flipped it over, one entire side is open. That's the kind of thing that you'd think someone plating the dish would have noticed and started over again. For my choice of bao, I went slightly unusual with the fried chicken one, because, well, fried chicken. Actually pretty good, and the "broken potatoes" rock. I could just go in and eat a plate of those. A small bottle of ginger ale washed it all down. Negative, I'd have liked to try a second bao, but the only way they offer it is in combo, and the minimum combo was a 170 peso bao with another appetizer, more potatoes, and another beverage, none of which I wanted. They weren't willing to sell just a bao, even though I'd already eaten a full combo. That strikes me a little inhospitable and inflexible. Which made me think I ought not to give them a second visit... but... ...eventually, about three weeks on, giving them another shot won out. On my second visit, they've dropped the lunch combo, and now simply charge more for each individual bao, each of which comes with those great broken potatoes. They've expanded the appetizer offerings, or maybe they're just non-bao offerings, as they're all roughly the same prices., somewhere between 120-150 pesos apiece. They did, however, change that great vinegary dipping sauce for the potatoes too, and now offer up a sort of milky, near flavorless liquid that made no sense to me. Like watered down ranch dressing. Tried two of the bao (they won't serve one without the potatoes, so if you want more than one, it's a lot of potato - I didn't even eat half of them). The clasico is a sweet, hoisin sauce glazed pork belly, the sweetness offset nicely by pickled beets; the bondiola is a slow braised pork shoulder with a sort of cabbage slaw. Both delicious. No ill effects. They do pick out one of the half dozen bao offerings daily at lunch and offer it as the day's special, dropping the price for whichever one it is from 150 down to 90 pesos, which is a bargain! Bring back the spicy dipping sauce for the potatoes, and maybe let folk who want to order a second bao get one without a pile of potatoes, and I'm sold.
