Searched for restaurants in nth hobart, most were full of customers. Found this small unassuming diner"Saigon express" three of them in the main drag. Chose the unlicenced middle one . On first appearance it looked quite drab, noticed a seafood sizzling hot plate advertised without noodle or rice for $27.
WELL , did I get MORE than I had expected...
Prawns ,squid seared with fresh red capsicum ,ginger, spring onion shallots, brocolli, cauliflower,carrot along with the most delicious stock/ sauce. All cooked too an absolute perfect level still alldente and juicy.
I asked about byo and was told yes and not even charged corkage!.
Sometimes, looks can be deceiving, I would recommend this authentic Vietnamese diner for any person looking for a fresh / healthy dinner without the pomp and ceremony that most upmarket restaurants base their menu prices on. I will return too try out many of my other Viet dishes featured on the expansive menu...
Staff are all friendly Darlings xx

Teriyaki chicken curry is fantastic. Not just the slop out of the bain-marie but a generous portion of just fried delicious chicken with curry and rice for $17. 10/10

The best sushi in town. The rolls are delicious, and everything tastes high quality. The staff is friendly and the service is fast. I’ve never had a bad meal here and always look forward to coming back. Highly recommend. My favourite place ❤️

Food was OK I guess but wonton wasn't that great at all. The Nasi Goreng was absolutely not what you'd expect but I guess it was my fault for ordering Indonesian food from a chinese place.

Tasty food with some good vegetarian options. A nice spot for a quick, cheap meal or takeaway.
