Saigon Grill (Temporarily Closed)

12/29/2006 Posted by b00pi3flak3s

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

My Vietnamese friends introduced me to this place and said it was just like mom used to make. For $5 you can get a huge bowl of pho or bun and a pot of tea. It's enough to feed two people. The food is always tasty, filling, plentiful, and cheap! The ambience is diner-like and the wait staff is rushed, but at these prices, I can't complain.

Pros: price, food

One of the best bets on the UES. Their take out service is really fast, prices are very reasonable and the food is great. Not to mention that portions are huge. This is not a place for a romantic dinner or to celebrate any sort of special occasion, but a great, reliable option for everyday dining.

Pros: Food, Fast Service, Portion size

Cons: Decor (non-existant)

well i had read the reviews about this restaurant on citysearch, so my husband and I decided to give it a try. my husband and i both had bad past experiences with vietnamese food, so we were definatley hesitant. well to our delight the food was very good. the waiter was helpful in picking out some dishes we might like, the food had a thai edge to it as well, which was refreshing...the quantity of food was a good size with tons of shrimp in our noodle dish...our meal was under 30 bucks....so we definately came out of there feeling like a winner.......i recommend this place for sure.........

Pros: tasty, inexpensive, interesting

Cons: ambience

I LOVE Saigon Grill. I've been there at least a dozen times. The pork chops, cubed steak, pho bo and whole fried fish are among my favorites. The ambience isn't great but the food is so tasty and so reasonably priced that it's definitely a fun date place if you want to get a bunch of stuff and sample. The service is always fast and so is the take out. It's a neighborhood fave so you might find yourself waiting 5-10 minutes for a table but generally no longer.

Pros: Great Service, Great Food, Great Value

I love this place. The food is always great and the delivery is so fast. No sooner have you put the phone down when you have hot delicious food at your door. Eating in the restaurant is great also. The waitors are always helpful and the wait is never bad if there is one at all.

Pros: food, delivery, price

Cons: NONE!

I order from Saigon Grill all the time. The food is great, it get's to my apt very quickly, and is inexpensive. I have eaten there many times, the service is always very fast. I love the shrimp summer role, chicken kabob's, and all the chicken and shrimp dishes. Saigon Grill is great!

Pros: great food, fast delivery, inexpensive
