"Hello Saigon is Greenwich Village’s own, a rambling and comfortable place along the strip where NYU students go to party. While the menu has few surprises, it excels at familiar Vietnamese food with prices geared to student budgets. The pho is top notch, an unfussy version with a broth that’s dark and flavorful without being overly salty. Don’t miss the giant beef balls that come with some versions and can be added as an option to others. (The place opens at 10:30 a.m., so pho is available for breakfast, as it should be.) Other menu highlights include bun bo Hue, the spicy, beef-based soup from the port city of Hue; the clay pot chicken with quail eggs; and the bun vermicelli with pork chops, served with a spring roll. Banh mi, especially the fried catfish version, are also worth ordering." - Robert Sietsema
