Saigon 1 presents a broad, comfort-driven Vietnamese menu that leans into both familiar classics and a few unexpected crossovers, giving the impression of a kitchen that caters to a wide range of tastes. The starters set the tone with crisp and satisfying options like Frühlingsrolle, Spring Roll, Summer Rolls, and Sommerolle, alongside the more generous Vorspeise Platte, which works well for sharing. Soups and noodle staples such as Pho and Suppe Zum Mittagstisch bring the expected warmth and depth, while heartier plates like Gebratene Ente Nr 403, Gebratene Ente Scharf, and Ente Mit Reis Und Eiern highlight the kitchen’s focus on rich, well-seasoned duck dishes.
Seafood and fusion touches also appear through dishes like Tintenfisch, Gegrillte Meeresfrüchte, and the intriguingly named Риба Със Зеленчуци И Сос Куркума, adding variety beyond the core Vietnamese offerings. Rice and noodle combinations such as Gebratener Reis Mit Knoblauch Und Ei, Bun Bo Und Kokosmilch-curry Mit Tofu Und Reis, and M7 Mit Fischfilet keep the menu substantial and filling, while lighter or drink options like Vietnam Kaffee provide a traditional finish.
There are also surprising European-influenced elements such as Blanquette de Veau, which adds an unusual twist to the lineup. For something sweet, Gebackene Banane Mit Honig Erdnuss stands out as a comforting dessert choice. Overall, the menu feels extensive and slightly eclectic, but still grounded in recognizable Vietnamese comfort food, with Sommerrollen Mit Erdnusssoße rounding out the fresh, dipping-style selections that tie the experience together.
