If this is one of the best Vietnamese places in the east village i'd hate to taste the worst. I never post on these things but 4 stars for this place is insane. I ordered 3 different dishes, viet beef with rice that after tasting 1 cube went straight in the trash. Vietnamese spring rolls which after one bite, followed the beef directly into the trash. And the Chicken with string beans which if i hadnt been so hungry would have followed the other 2. I probably managed 10 mouthfulls, then yup, you guessed it..trash. Hate talking badly about things but this was without a doubt the worst food ive ever tasted in NYC..grim at best. My advice would be to grab a cuban instead, Cafe Cortadito on 3rd and B is awesome. Or, and as sad as I am to say this, go grab a McDonalds up the block, quality would be a whole lot better.

Really good and really cheap BUT those who are allergic to peanuts need to be careful. Peanuts are a garnish on everything here, and in my experience, it seems like saying "no peanuts" translates to "MORE peanuts!" No, no, no! The food here is pretty good but it's going to be hard to tell while you're in anaphylactic shock.

This place is run by nice people that may come across as rude over the phone. But don't hate, the food is great! It is really a take out place and I wouldn't recommend eating there unless you have no other option. My favorites: Chicken with basil, curry mixed veg, bbq beef appetizer, spicy chicken soup. The veggie spring rolls are also a staple. Even the usually greasy fried dishes are good and don't feel too artery-clogging. I tried their banh mi (sandwich) which was a bit of a let down (I'm used to the best). But aside from that, I can't say I've had a bad dish.

This is one of my favorite Asian take out places. It's always delicious and non-greasy even when I order fried foods.

Very affordable and quite good! No, this is not 5-star dining, but you're not going to get food poisoning, either. However, if you have a peanut allergy, like I do, be very, very, VERY clear that whatever you order should be peanut-free! They throw crushed peanuts on everything.

We overlooked the fact that it wasn't a dine-in place and tried to eat there. I thought the food was really good and very affordable, but they are just not accustomed to having diners and the result is poor service. I'll definitely get it again, but for take out next time.

The new Saigon is the best Vietnamese restaurant of Lower East Side. Cool prices, healthy and clean food, good price value !! We decided now to order always at the same place...
