Saigon Restaurant

be very cautious

I go to Saigon occasionally whenever I'm in east SD, but will never go back again. I'm pretty aquainted with the MSG coma after eating here, but nothing compares to recycled vegetables. The veggies that came with my egg rolls smelled like fish sauce before I had a chance to dip. My girlfriend told the server, but he didn't seem to care nor replace it for us. I guess that's the trade-off for cheap prices.

• Pros: cheap prices
• Cons: servers speak little english, lots of MSG, recycled veggies

Fast, casual feast of traditional Chinese and Vietnamese dishes.

In Short
Group-friendly round tables fill the open, cafeteria-like dining room of this North Park spot. Most of the tables have rotating tabletops to facilitate sharing. Waiters dart around from the kitchen with steaming portions of deep fried duck, beef noodle soup, garlic shrimp stir fried dishes and assorted vegetables. The menu has ore than 300 options to choose from-and that's not including the drinks.

Great food, great prices

Good quality Vietnamese food - especially the seafood - without paying a ton of money. My only complaints are the tight layout and not-so-great service.

• Pros: Food, Prices
• Cons: Service, Layout
