10 extraordinary years ago on 19/9/2014, we opened the doors with Gary our first SSE customer waiting in line.

Last night Gary & Tracy came in to have dinner with us for the last time in our Carlisle St store.
Words can’t ever thank you guys for your ongoing support and the amazing stories and laughter you bring to the team.
Cheers to another amazing 10years ahead in our new home on 141 Chapel St, St Kilda ❤️

It feels surreal to know that we have 1 last week of service on 249 Carlisle St until we move to 141 Chapel St, St Kilda (5-7min walk opposite the St Kilda Police Station).
So sad to leave Carlisle St (after 10years), however also thrilled to have more space to grow in our new home.

We hope to see you all soon!

Ten years ago, Kim had a vision of an unpretentious eatery, channelling the vibe and swagger of Saigon’s street food life - incredible food served with an honest smile.
Saigon Street Eats couldn’t have imagined the community that we have built around us.

We take this special occasion and opportunity, to thank you each and every one of you.

Our beloved staff, customers, suppliers, friends and family, from the bottom of our hearts - Thank you for being a part of our journey and for your support and kindness.

Here’s to another 10 years together!
