I was not blown away the first time I went here, but the second time I noticed the care with which each dish is prepared, the good variety (the biggest problem with Vietnamese restaurants in the Twin Cities), the excellent service. I cannot say that there is a huge difference between Saigon and other University Av Viet places. But I can say that its food is best by a small margin, and you should try it if only to have access to all Viet specialties, not just pho. One problem: the place is cold.
Pros: food, parking, service
Cons: closes at 8, cold
