| - After reading all of the good reviews about the banh mi here, I had to give it a try, and it definitely lived up to expectations. I've had their grilled pork banh mi several times now, and let me just say that they don't call themselves Saigon GRILLE for nothing. It might be THE best grilled pork I've ever had. It is packed with smoky, juicy, delicious flavor, and in the sandwich, it blends perfectly with the mayo, lettuce, cilantro, jalapenos, and French bread. It's also very cheap (under $4) for what you get in quality and quantity, so you'll usually find me getting a handful of sandwiches to go.
During my most recent visit (and my first time dining in), I decided to try their Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio. I mean if the pork is good in a sandwich, it's gotta be good over some noodles, right? Not so much. I mean, the pork was still amazing, but everything else, especially the cha gio, was just meh and really brought the dish down. The large serving size was the only other redeeming quality. I've had better at a lot of places, so I probably wouldn't come here for it again.
Misc... The service was friendly and attentive, food prep was lightning fast, and prices are reasonable.
