me love this long time!
ok ok, forgive my trite phrase, but you WILL love this place a LONG TIME, no joke about that! the food is insanely consistent, authentic, reasonable and delicious and the servers are fantastic. talk about a solid place you can rely on, it's saigon grill. it's so good that the people who know about this place had no trouble following it from it's longtime home on Bway near 86th st. it's always bustling but never caustic. always the best smooth, hearty vibe, pace and energy. for vegetarians, it's also a goldmine. i like to order the Goi Cuon Chay (Vegetarian Summer Roll) and String Green Beans (Stir-fried with shallots, basil and garlic sauce) and of course the fish dishes like the salmon Ca Nuong is heaven. and this is not to mention the portions--HUGE! i've never gone there and ordered a dish alone, oh no, all the dishes are so big you gotta half it with a friend. also, if you're in the mood for noodles, then order the Mi Xao Don with whatever topping you want! go with someone and have a blast. this is in my top 10 list with good reason! also, they offer great desserts and great drinks. i like the vietnamese coffee which has a kick and good creme touch to it. but usually i don't have room for the sweets. and i like mine extra hot so i usually order water, not to be cheap but because my mouth gets hot! make sure to add some of the red hot chili paste or other condiments there in the metal containers on the table.
