| - Saigon deserves about three stars, but I'm bumping it up one more because of the excellent, friendly service, the pleasant layout, and lack of other competition.
The pho was okay. I've definitely had better, but it got the job done. Spring rolls were tasty and well-made. Our server was courteous, constantly present, and ridiculously polite. I enjoyed my meal quite a bit, but one of the best parts of the evening had to be the family at the table next to my friend and I.
Their small son, who couldn't have been older than 2, was transfixed by the fro and just stared and stared. And then waved. And then chased another little girl around the restaurant. It was free entertainment, although it got a bit creepy to be stared at by a toddler for so long. You begin to feel judged.
But yes, the food is 3 stars worthy, and has a substantial number of Chinese items as well. They also do dim sum for lunch.
And I can't fault a restaurant that makes a pleasing iced tea/fresh lemonade combination. Well done, Saigon.
