I'm from California, so I know what good Vietnamese food is. Saigon Cafe is pretty good. It doesn't compare to the Vietnamese food I have tried back home but it was decent. Kind of pricey but reasonable due to being in Hawaii. The waiters are hilarious and very friendly. The loved to joke around with my family and we all... more

My husband and I just got back from Maui. Unfortunately my last memory of Maui is eating at the Saigon Cafe in Wailuka. We were seated at a table and I could see the kitchen and it looked DIRTY! I told myself that it was just because I was looking at the window and of course there would be more... more

A little difficult to find....no sign........the owner can't find the time to put one up. Authentic Hawaii. Far and away the finest clay pot in the world.........possibly the universe. Pho is also out of this world. Don't order the Thai dishes though....get the incredible Vietnamese dishes. Nice to eat after Iao Valley visit or taking the spectacular drive around the... more

Ok, it wasn't terrible, but what a disappointment. Maybe the dumpy, sort of sticky, small-town Italian restaurant atmosphere was too much for me to see beyond, but I can't figure out why this place is supposed to be so special. I had the shrimp pops, which were interesting, but not outstanding, along with another (dull) appetizer. My spouse's meal was... more

We visited Siagon cafe in June of 2007. This was our second visit, the last having been in 1999. As always the food was excellent. As in the previous posts, the ambience is not the greatest but we were not looking for that. I'm sorry to see some of the negative posts and don't really feel it is an honest... more

Excellent Vietnamese food in Wailuku. The place is hard to find but is definitely worth it. The interior of the restaurant is pretty forgettable and I can definitely see how the wait staff's abrupt manner and brusque humor can be taken as rudeness but they more than make up with it with the food. But if you're looking for great... more

Our waiter didn't actually speak to us when asking how many were in our party. He holds up two fingers? I nod. He points to the closest table booth about 1.5ft away from the wall and less than ten feet from the door. I was very disappointed with the service in the Saigon Cafe; I recently moved back to Maui... more

We had recently visited Maui in August 2006 and we had lunch at this restaurant once due to high recommendation from the web. This place is hard to find and it is in the residential area. The food at this restaurant is So-So. We are not imppressed at all. One thing we found is the waiters are very cheesy with... more
