Awww, I heart Saigon Grille. It's super adorable inside.
The staff is outrageously friendly and efficient. But I passionately dislike being called ma'am (unless it's by a boy that I'm ordering around).
Okay haters, don't shoot me but ...... Saigon Grille's bahn mi is *possibly* better than Superior Pho's! But don't worry -- their pho isn't better. So we can still be VietPhoSnobs and say, "Like Omigod! Superior's is like wayyyyy more authenic 'n stuff cuz I've like totally been to Vietnam like 10x!"
Back to their pho. I liked it okay but the broth seemed to lack meaty flavor and had a bit too much cinnamon. Simply put, it was too sweet. And their noodles seemed to be a bit thinner than normal. I'd like to try some of the broken rice dishes next time.
Some of the other reviews state that their portions are small. Hmmm, my portions were not small. The bahn mi was actually a bit larger than others in the area and the regular sized pho was plenty big -- enough for two large, overflowing bowls at home.
Glad to see more restaurants popping up in Cleveland's Asia Town.
