Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine
Experience the rich flavors and vibrant culture of Vietnam at Saigon Palace Cafe. Our restaurant was established in 2020 with a passion for bringing the authentic taste of Vietnamese cuisine to Australia. Indulge in our proudly homemade dishes, prepared with secret and long-standing recipes passed down through generations. Our bone broths are simmered for over 8 hours, resulting in savory, nutrient-dense, and collagen-rich liquids. We use a variety of bones (beef, chicken, or pork) along with fresh vegetables, herbs, and garlic to create a burst of flavors in every bowl.
Our Journey Begins
Experience Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine
My Mother Hong was born in Dalat City, Vietnam in 1952. Where is also called little Paris due to its French architecture palaces and villas. This is one of the reasons why we name our restaurant Saigon Palace Cafe.​She spent an idyllic childhood eating, learning and helping to cook traditional Vietnamese food alongside her father (my grandpa) in our family restaurant. But when she was 23 in 1975, the restaurant was closed, she moved to Saigon to start her new life with my father.
As a fulltime mother job (with 5 kids), mother Hong had cooked, researched, improved, and recorded her own recipes. My name is also Hong (or you can call me Tom). When I was 5, I was taught how to cook by my dear mother with all her own life’s recipes in our small kitchen, where lighted the love and passion for cooking in me.However, as an Asian particular mother, she managed to enroll me in the Financial Management bachelor's degree. After I got married to my lovely wife and move to Australia, where my dream of owning a restaurant came true.​
In 2020, I opened my first restaurant, Maleny Palace Cafe, in a beautiful and historic town, Maleny, Queensland. With me it was my first succeed, because my effort was recognised and loved by lovely and friendly people there. It was the foundation that took me here, my second restaurant in the heart of the dynamic Sunshine Coast, Saigon Palace Cafe. I hope that all my fruition could bring you a wonderful meal today.
