Saigon or "Sai Gon" was the name of the capital of Viet Nam
and also the biggest city not only in Viet nam but also South
East Asia. In 1975 Saigon became Ho Chi Minh City after
the name of the leader of the communist government of
North Viet Nam.
Nowadays, Saigon is a very evocative name for Vietnam -
ese people living outside the country. It is not just a name,
the word Saigon evokes the great history and the beloved
value that all South Vietnamese feel especially the
Vietnamese Boat People and those who ran away from the
Communists after 1975.
The name of our restaurant is The Saigon because we relate
to the beauty of this ancient city and its marvellous cuisine
with the unique tastes of the Southern region of Vietnam.
