Saigon Story

Saigon Story brings Vietnamese street food to Crown Perth’s Urban Food District in Burswood, with a menu shaped around familiar flavours from Saigon and a casual, contemporary setting. The venue describes its offering as international, noodle-focused and suited to relaxed dining, making it a practical choice when you want a quick meal rather than a formal restaurant experience. It also positions itself as somewhere for catching up over food or satisfying a later craving, with service extending into the evening on selected days.

The menu includes Vietnamese staples such as Phở, Bánh Mì and Cà Phê Sữa Đá. These give the restaurant a clear focus, from comforting noodle soup and filled bread rolls to the well-known iced coffee style. A featured WA Black Truffle Banh Mi has also been promoted as a limited-time offering, combining crackling pork, cucumber, pickled carrot and daikon, pâté, spring onions and soy sauce with butter mayo, truffle-infused mayo and shavings of WA black truffle. Availability is subject to change, so it is best viewed as a seasonal or promotional highlight rather than a permanent menu fixture.

The concept comes from Jenny Lam, whose previous Perth ventures include Bunn Mee and Phat Lon. Saigon Story draws on her Vietnamese heritage and interest in the culture, flavour and sense of connection associated with Saigon’s streets. The venue aims to translate that influence into a modern, welcoming space, while using local ingredients wherever possible. Its emphasis is less on formal ceremony and more on food, conversation and an easygoing atmosphere within Crown’s broader dining precinct.

Saigon Story suits a range of casual occasions: a solo lunch, a fast bite between plans, a catch-up with friends or an informal evening meal. Its location at Crown Perth, on Great Eastern Highway in Burswood, places it close to the city while offering the convenience of a large entertainment and hospitality precinct. Visitors should note that Crown’s stated surcharges apply on weekends, public holidays and credit-card payments, and that venue hours and menu availability can change.
