The Saigon Bowl is the best kept secret in the valley. It's a little hole-in-the-wall with the basic four walls. The owners are so gracious and make everything from scratch.
If you're in a rush, do not go! They take pride in serving you and are humbled by those who appreciate their cultural food offerings.
I'm afraid that if they ever became really successful, all the intimate service and raw quality would be lost.
Regardless, I'm writing this because they deserve to increase their customer base and do what they do best... serve authentic vietnamese food ....
