Saigon Star Restaurant

The quality of the food went down so much, their curry crab is definitely not worth $75 as they use dead or frozen crab. The curry is not fresh, tasted watery. Overall I’m disappointed and would never go again.

Truly *Fake* Vietnamese restaurant. Been here for lunch, no choice of type of vermicelli, bean sprouts come with lemon instead of lime (cost cutting?), Vietnam coffee was not Vietnam coffee. Possibly run by Chinese, more like HongKong style restaurant rather than Vietnamese cuisine. The two stars are for quite cozy renovations and quite friendly female staff (male staff was rude delivering dishes). That's it. A barely acceptable one-time only restaurant.

I want everyone to know how dishonest this business is. We ordered the house special curry crab along with jumbo shrimp, a mango salad, and a pad thai between two people. We thought that since the business owner took our order, that he would obviously know the portioning for our crab - since it was written in the menu as “seasonal price”. But it felt like he picked the biggest crab he could find for us, which ended up being a crazy $70. I never thought a crab could cost that much. I feel very cheated and disappointed - never going back again.

WHAT TO TRY?! The curry crab and the black pepper lobster!!! Known for their seafood here, especially the signature crab. Get ready to have your hands get messy. They have Vietnamese dishes that are marinated and barbecued in their lemongrass concoction too. The curry crab is my favorite dish to order here though! Love the curry sauce and how there's so much curry sauce left over to eat with white rice or a baguette. Food comes out relatively quickly and the service is great. We also ordered the oysters with minced garlic and butter as well. They come out pipping hot! This is a great option to order too. The rack of lamb comes barbecued in lemongrass marination. It doesn't taste gamy at all and barbecued just right. It's not overcooked and inside is very tender. LAST TIP?! Order some baguettes to dip the remaining curry sauce. Nice crunch to go with the curry sauce. Don't forget to stay for dessert too. There's complimentary dessert soup made in house every night to finish your meal!

This place used to be one my favourite place since I was a little kid. Their pineapple fried rice would be mindblasting. I think their standards really slipped. I went on a not too busy Friday night and found the fried rice to be quite bland, the curry was watery/void of coconut taste, and the mango salad had like 5 pieces of mango on a big pile of iceberg lettuce. I wonder if this place is just struggling to keep up admist a ton of competition in the Markham/Richmond Hill area. I hope they improve as this place used to be legendary!
