Terrific Food + Great Service=Perfection – What I ordered: Shredded Green Papaya Salad, Appetizer Plater, and Chicken Pho ($15). The food was delicious! The papaya salad was topped with wonderfully flavored grilled beef. All the meats have no nasty pieces of fat. The food is all about quality. The beef tasted similar to Korean barbecue. It went great with salad. The dressing was just a sweet vinegar and it was great! The appetizer platter was great for my first time. I got to try beef and chicken sate. The egg rolls were oka... read more

One of NYC's best values – Great and inexpensive food! Large portions. (You could easily split an entree, but you wont want to!) Long lines (for good reason), but they move fast especially for couples and small groups (easier to seat). Can't rave enough about the food. Fast, attentive service. The food is on your table minutes after ordering it. They move fast without really rushing you. Although, there is a bit of an assembly line feel because of the close quarters and speed at which food is served. Don't expect a deep or r... read more

Worth the wait – The food is delicious, reasonable priced, and the portions are enormous. The only drawback is that the place is so popular! A long wait is inevitable at normal dining hours, but it's worth it. Try the spring rolls, bun (noodles), seared beef, curry shrimp soup - it's all good.

Best Vietnamese Menu in NYC – Great selection and variation on the menu and the prices are CHEAP. However, be prepared to rub elbows with the folks next to you. The service was surprisingly good despite the crowd. We asked for extra mint leaves and they were very accomodating. We were a party of two and were sat almost immediately. Larger groups had to wait a while.

splendid – We were seated immediately. Not being familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, we found the menu descriptions very helpful. The food was served quickly, and was delicious. For two, eating until we were more than full, the bill was under $20. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean. A good value, I will be back.

Yummy!! – I met a friend here for dinner a few weeks ago. I was so pleasantly surprised by the food- it was the first time I had Vietnamese and it was great!! The service a bit rushed because it is a packed place! Everybody comes to the restaurant, young, old, students, couples, groups, it seems like a great "regular" spot, and the prices are great! And the servings are plentiful; Try a fruity cocktail while you are at it! I love the mai-thai. Make a reservation if you are with a big group.

Best value in the city – Great, light food that is delicious. You cannot beat the prices. Favorites are Crispy Twin Delicacies, Ga Sate, Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Bun Xao. Recent move to a bigger and more welcoming place to Amsterdam hasn't changed the fact that they're always jam-packed.

Down To A Science – I eat Saigon Grill food three times a week and I never tire of it. The food will not blow you away, but it's consistent and almost everything on the extensive menu is great. The new location offers many more seats and less waiting. The Goi Du Du (green papaya salad) is fantastic. The spare ribs are phenomenal and a bargain. The soups are terrific. Ga Sate (Chicken in peanut sauce) is unique and wonderful. The Bo Luc Loc (steak cubes) will satify any meat eater - cooked perfectly every time. The beauty of ... read more

problems with the infrastructure?! – I have been fond of Saigon Grill for years for the incredible food, fast and reliable service, and modest prices. Unfortunately, we've had bad experiences with the new location. We waited for almost an hour (when they had told us 30 minutes max), the service was unfriendly, and it was noisy (attempts to curtail this with random pieces of foam failed). The food, however, was fantastic. I will continue to relish their victuals but will only dine-in at odd hours. I think I'll primarily stick... read more
