The cafe is located in the shop area on Union Road close to the Whitford Road roundabout. They sell cafe drinks as well as Vietnamese food. they have a nice selection of food to choose from.
I went with the crispy noodles with pork and prawns. The noodles were crispy had had a nice flavour. There was plenty of prawns and pork in the sauce. It would have been nicer if the sauce was a bit thicker but it was still quite tasty. Brother got the grilled pork chop, shredded pork and pork loaf on rice and that looked really good. I was able to try some of the grilled pork chops and that was quite nice. We also had the spring rolls and I didn't mind them. The sauce wasn't as good as other places though since it wasn't as flavourful.
Service was really nice. The server was very friendly and they even gave us three bowls of sauce for the spring rolls so that we had one each. It is worth a stop if you are in the area. It was also quite busy with takeaway order when we were there but we didn't have to wait too long for the food, maybe about 10 minutes. There are two driveways into the carpark area and it is one way so make sure you go in and out from the right entrance.
The food is fresh and the staff were absolutely lovely. The Vietnamese coffee was great and the bill at the end was surprisingly cheap. I would definitely recommend cafe Saigon to anyone who likes Vietnamese food.

Howick...you lucky lovelies in East Auckland have amazing Vietnamese food! Tucked near New World Howick, we have Cafe Saigon...you want value AND delicious authenticity? Impossible. But Cafe Saigon achieves the impossible and serves it so wonderfully! Sumptuous savoury filled pancakes, rich and flavour-packed pho (beef noodle soup), and familiar, yet exciting banh mi...We could not even get through a fraction of the gorgeous food! That's all right, we'll be back! I cannot wait!
