Used to be one of my favorites. Definitely was a weekly regular. The new owners do not have things down right yet. Sunday we had 3 people TRYING to serve us. However, the service was terrible. Not fun when you ask the teenage girl who has been giggling and playing with the teenage boy who is working if you can order food and all she does is laugh and say she is new. My chicken was dry, now when you get chicken so dry that even the sauce does not make it better, you know you have bad chicken. Definitely will be looking for a new place to satisfy my chinese cravings! I did notice their attention seemed to be focused on the larger groups (and I am talking about one's who got there after we did).

My favorite place to enjoy Chinese/Vietnamese by far. Can't say enough about their Kung Bao Chicken and another of my favorites, Chicken Sizzling Rice Soup. Everything is fresh and they will make any dish/tweak any dish any way you like it!

Saigon Cafe is one of my favorite restaurants

I love Saigon Cafe. We came across it one day while I was looking for a place in town I could find real spring rolls (not eggrolls, which some places call spring rolls). After doing an internet search, Saigon Cafe was what we came up with as one of our options that wasn't too far of a drive and was said to be reasonably priced. I'm so glad we tried it out! Excellent food. The vermicelli salads are all delicious and fresh. Pot-stickers are addictive. Spring rolls are very good. The sauces, fresh veggies, and sauteed meats, are all so good. And the prices are very modest. The atmosphere is nice but not high end, just clean family restaurant style. The family that owns Saigon Cafe is so friendly. I love this place and highly recommend it as a restaurant to dine in when you want good Vietnamese food. By the way, they also have a Chinese menu following the Vietnamese menu.
