Editorial Review for Saigon Grill (Temporarily Closed) – by Raven Snook
The Scene
Although the Upper East Side isn't usually known for its bargains, this is one. Neighborhood denizens may think they can keep this excellent and inexpensive eatery to themselves, but the secret is out and it's spreading. The eclectic crowd includes harried mothers too tired to cook for their children, businessmen looking for a quick meal, and older couples eager for a night out, all wanting the same thing: delicious food in a low-key atmosphere.
The Food
While there are plenty of meat dishes, including the sweet and spicy Curry Ga with humongous slices of chicken mixed with eggplant, onions and coconut milk, and Bo Sate with sauteed beef, pineapple and crushed peanuts, seafood and vegetarian dishes make up most of the menu. The curried okra is crunchy and the vegetarian basket boasts a cornucopia of stir-fried greens served up in an edible pasta basket. Be sure to taste the incredible assortment of vegetable and seafood spring and summer rolls.

It seems Saigon Grill will take over most of the major neighborhoods in Manhattan with its affordable prices and solid Asian variety. Its so popular that this location in particular was one of the first to branch out from typical Vietnamese fare to Chinese, Thai, and Japanese items. Out of all of the locations, this place seems to be one of the better locations with its great ambiance (especially since its going to be renovated), solid service, and consistently affordable prices. The food portions have been fairly large and leaves one feeling pretty darn full for probably no more than $10-15 each. Lets see how they do once the renovations are complete.
Pros: Food, Decor, Service, Prices
Cons: Parking, Crowded

I LOVE the Saigon Grill and am so distraught that it's been closed for renovations for what seems like an UTTER ETERNITY!! All the food is fresh and yummy. My daughter has always loved the basil Chicken....I miss it!
Pros: Amazing, cheap, fresh food
Cons: Seating is a little crowded
