What People Are Saying About Saigon Grill

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.

Of the restaurants in NYC, Saigon Grill is my favorite. The menu is extensive and the foods are delicious. The place is not fancy but with the delicious foods and the quick service, I recommend it to anyone looking for good vietnamese foods.

Saigon Grill is not just a restaurant, it's a restaurant-going experience! The Chicken Bun Xao is a must. The Ga Sate will melt in your mouth. The Bo Luc Lac is to die for. However, for a few months now their delivery workers have been on strike, so if you're not into the whole long-line-of-vietnamese-picketers-yelling-at-you thing then maybe you should readjust your brain because its worth it. It's just that good.

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.
