Saigon Star, Shop 15, Windmill Centre, 184 Clarence Street, Riccarton, Christchurch.
Food. With very few Vietnamese cuisines to choose from in Christchurch there isn't much to benchmark on. Sampled beef noodle soup, deep fried squid, dessert. The food is ok but without things like a side-plate of fresh uncook mints and bean sprouts, as it is the norm with traditional Vietnamese servings with noodle soups, it is slightly dissapointing. Batter on the squid is a little like the Japanese tempura batter (different from the ones normally served at Asian food places). Very tasty. The three-colored dessert is fantastic although they have just stopped serving this so this will be missed.
Environment & Service. Simple typical asian food restaurant set up. Can be short-staffed when a bit busy although overall friendly. The lady (wife of one of the owners) who only goes on Sunday is particularly pleasant when dealing with customers. This shop seem to have their regulars from the greetings of incoming customers.
