| - This was my 1st time ever eating Vietnamese food, & let me start by saying that I hate Chinese food, so you can see where I'm going with this. Maybe if I were to like these types of food, then this place wouldn't have been so bad, but for me I'd rather stay away from this type of food.
From the outside, this looks like your normal shopping center restaurant, small & quaint. But this place is freaking huge...I was absolutely shocked. I don't know if they ever get enough people to fill it up, but they have A LOT of seating. The whole place is open, with nothing but tables & chairs throughout the whole place. No walls, decorative pieces, nothing but space & seating.
I went with an old coworker that likes this type of food so he had some suggestions for me as I frowned across the menu. Maybe to a Vietnamese connoisseur this food would be appealing, but to me everything just sounded like something I'd rather not eat. I will say that while I wasn't exactly thrilled with eating the food, they do give you huge portions.
Saigon Palace is not your typical shopping center restaurant, with its size really setting it apart. The food is probably good if you're in to that type of thing, but for me it just wasn't good. I'm sure you could get a seat here pretty quickly anytime of the day, for any size group, considering how abundant seating is. Vietnamese just isn't for me & I'll stay away in the future...but at least I tried it...
