  • So, we recently moved close by, and one of the first things we worried about was that there wouldn't be a good Vietnamese place nearby. After trying Saigon Gourmet, our fears have definitely been laid to rest. First thing we noticed is that everything is completely spotless. The decor was very unique -- think wood panelling with oddly shaped mirrors peeping out here and there -- but I liked it. I don't really understand how or why, but I did. The service was excellent. We were greeted right away with a smile, green tea (loose leaf) and water arrived immediately without us even having to ask, which is a major plus in my book, and the waitress checked up on us once or twice to make sure everything was good and refill water. We've both eaten at quite a few Vietnamese places throughout the city, and we confidently agreed that Saigon Gourmet was right up there with the best. I had prawns, lemongrass chicken and beef on vermicelli, and my fiance had rare beef and brisket pho, which is his go-to. I usually don't get prawns because I don't like fiddling around with the tails, but to my surprise and everlasting delight, they arrived at the table cleaned, de-tailed and flayed open. So. Good. The lemongrass chicken and beef were good too, they had a good kick of real lemongrass taste. The pho got big points -- hot, properly done broth with that rich, meaty taste, lots of rare beef and brisket, and they offer it in two sizes. If I could give any criticism, it would be that the lemongrass beef was tougher than I expected, though not so much so that it prevented me from scarfing down two salad rolls full of it (they have shrimp, beef and chicken as options). That's another thing, they give you four salad rolls instead of the typical three, and who doesn't like an extra salad roll? The prices were in keeping with most Vietnamese places, around the $8-12 range and well worth it. I expect we'll quickly become regulars.
