Dear Saigon, one of Toronto's beloved Vietnamese destinations, is getting a brand new GTA location for North York noodle lovers after taking over the spot from Pho Anh Vu.

The fourth location by the restaurant since its journey began back in 2014, Dear Saigon is known for taking its customers on a flavourful Vietnamese adventure through remarkable dishes — essentially serving up the city of Saigon on a plate.

And, to help celebrate the occasion on Saturday, Oct. 26, they’re offering amazing discounts and deals for the customers who dine in the new location on day one — but more on that later.

From Little Saigon to Toronto with love

Spearheaded by two immigrant women with a dream, Dear Saigon is an homage to traditional Vietnamese flavours, whether you’re getting a delicious bowl of pho or classic vermicelli.

Their commitment to high quality shines through every dish, only selecting natural, fresh ingredients that showcase the care Dear Saigon chefs put into each meal to elevate the dining experience.

While you can’t go wrong ordering any of their fresh bowls of pho, the Dear Saigon Platter is an incredible way to experience the restaurant's style — with an array of fresh herbs, sauces, and meats like Betel Leaf Wrapped Ribeye and Sugar Cane Shrimp to create your own succulent wraps.

Plus, to celebrate the expansion, you can try some of Dear Saigon's new menu additions, like crab spring rolls, hai phong vermicelli with fish, grilled chicken and pork chop on rice, new desserts, and more!

Grand opening specials

Now back to some special offers for day one visitors. The first 50 lucky customers to dine at the new North York location will get a free bowl of pho. 

If you missed out on your free bowl, don’t fret, because for the rest of opening day, there's a BOGO (buy-one-get-one free) on mains, and you can even get a free drink if you follow and tag Dear Saigon on social media.

They're also celebrating the next day as well, with day two of operation offering a buy-one-get-one free deal on Uber Eats.

It's cozy season in the city! Warm up with the indulgent flavours of Vietnam at the new North York Dear Saigon on Oct. 26, located at Finch and Yonge.
