Saigon

I consider Saigon to be one of the most underrated restaurants in Portland. We are lucky to have two excellent Vietnamese restaurants in Portland (Saigon & Thanh Thanh II). I am especially appreciative of their willingness to prepare things spicy when I order 4 or 5 stars. While I am asked if I am sure that I want that many stars, they deliver what I ask. This is in sharp contrast to the Chinese restaurants in town where the server does not bother to ask if I am sure and the food comes with little or no heat! Yes, I have been to every Chinese restaurant in Portland. The only exception is the long closed Hu Shang.
