"Pleasant experience, enjoyed the lots of fresh salad greens paired with the dishes.
Tried 2 dishes I usually do not see in Vietnamese restaurants:
Vietnamese pancakes and Vietnamese bao burger.
They were good.
Beef pho was good too, soup is of the lighter variety.
Our favourite was the Mixed appetizer platter, especially the summer rolls and the fried Vietnamese rolls.
I wanna try the crispy chicken dishes next time.
Peace."

"The food was really good, definitely recommend the Pho and the duck with noodles. The broth of the Pho tasted fresh and delicious! Meanwhile the duck was as described crispy. We also tried the Cafe Saigon, it was really good. The only thing with Cao is that the waitresses were not nice and a bit dismissive to selected customers. Still a good vietnamese restaurant to try anytime one passes by Trier."

"Food was delicious, we had the bao burger which was texturally interesting, the grilled pork was decent, and the curry viet was good. However, the staff seem overwhelmed and were a little unfriendly. We found a fly in the curry and they were very dismissive. Overall decent food but the experience was marred by the service we encountered."
