Hello Saigon

Today we hit up an old friend; Miss Saigon which has been renamed Hello Saigon. Their lunch special is $5.99 incl. soup and salad. There's two soups, the default soup is really sour orangey/lemon-grassy and the soup of the day is a clear broth with a few chunks of celery and stew beef. I prefer the latter.

The mains are all Viet/Thai style (well they seem Thai to me) and come with either white rice or pad thai noodles. If you spring for the spring rolls, it's another 50 cent.

Chan had the pork stir fry:



It comes with Kim Chi on the side.

and I had the Red Curry Beef:



Which comes with cubes of fatty, sometimes grisly beef in a medium/mild curry.

The lunches here are tasty, and you get a variety of items, but at $8.50 ASAD it's a bit steep for Chinatown lunch.

Verdict: Not in the regular rotation, but a fixture on the extended roster.
