| - Saigon has been one of m go-tos in all the years I have been in Madison, so I've seen them grow from the small restaurant which almost always have long wait lines to the current renovated site, which is expanded, so it is a lot more spacious and comfortable to dine in. There will usually still be a line during peak periods but it is really a whole lot better compared to those early days. Really happy about that ~~
I like their pho and their spring rolls. Usually I would get the saigon deluxe, which has all the different meat parts. But if some of those seem a little too adventurous for you, there are many other combinations available. Usually I would just order the large portion, since you get way more food for less than a dollar extra, pretty worth it in my opinion. If you go for brunch it will be a good way to last till dinner time! I am particularly attracted by the light broth which is not overly salty.
Their spring rolls bring with them a very refreshing start to a meal. Filled with vermicelli, thin pork slices and shrimps, top that off with some sweet peanut sauce. It's perfect!
Recently I am taken to their spicy beef, which is offered as part of the weekend special. That is something I'd never gotten sick of even if I have it religiously every week. I love my pho with the lemon and bean sprouts. The sprouts add a crunchy texture to the soft pho noodles. The weekend is here again, time to plan a trip back for some spicy beef ~~~~
