Our Story – 20 Years of Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine in Chincoteague
For over two decades,
Saigon Village Restaurant has been more than just a dining destination—it’s been a place where tradition meets taste, and where every dish tells a story. As a
family-owned Vietnamese restaurant in Chincoteague, our journey began with a simple mission: to share the rich and authentic flavors of
Southern Vietnamese cuisine with our local community and visiting guests.
From the very first bowl of pho to our signature barbecue dishes, each recipe is rooted in
family traditions passed down through generations. Our passion for authentic cooking, commitment to quality, and dedication to serving
vegan, vegetarian, and meat-loving customers have made us a beloved part of the Chincoteague dining scene.
Honoring Tradition with Every Dish
At Saigon Village, we believe that food is more than nourishment—it's a connection to our heritage. Every dish we serve is inspired by traditional Southern Vietnamese recipes, lovingly crafted to preserve their authentic flavors.
Our family’s culinary roots trace back to Vietnam, where food is a celebration of culture, family, and community. We bring that same spirit to Chincoteague, infusing every meal with bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and a touch of home.
A Commitment to Vegan and Vegetarian Dining
We understand that great food should be inclusive, which is why we take pride in offering an array of vegan and vegetarian Vietnamese dishes. Our menu features creative plant-based options like:
- Tofu Spring Rolls with fresh herbs and peanut dipping sauce
- Vegetarian Pho with aromatic broth and vibrant vegetables
- Stir-Fried Tofu and Veggies served over jasmine rice
- Vegan Banh Mi crafted with fresh tofu and pickled vegetables
Every dish is thoughtfully prepared to ensure it meets the highest standards of flavor and quality. Whether you’re a lifelong vegan or simply exploring plant-based options, you'll find something satisfying and flavorful.
