3rd st. Saigon Le Vendeur

"Home to one of our in Austin, the people behind Saigon Le Vendeur closed their trailer and opened a brick-and-mortar right across the street from the old location on the East Side. For now, the menu is mostly the same—with bánh mì, vermicelli bowls, and curry ramen—but it’s expected to expand as the restaurant continues to grow and build out. " - Nicolai McCrary

"Vietnamese truck Saigon Le Vendeur had its North Shoal Creek trailer stolen from its Le Bleu restaurant location last week. And, thankfully, it was recovered last night." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Saigon Le Vendeur, the newly minted Eater 38 food truck, opened its second location in downtown Austin. The Vietnamese truck will be found in the corner lot at Congress Avenue and 3rd Street, taking over Snap Kitchen’s space, which is now closed, as noted by an eagle-eyed tipster. Chef and owner Tebi Nguyen’s downtown menu will be limited to just four banh mi, which could include the original cold cuts with pate spicy chicken, pork, and tofu options. The downtown Saigon is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the weekdays. Saigon’s East 7th Street food truck will remain open. It will also continue to operate its truck at the Sustainable Food Center’s downtown farmers market on Guadalupe Street on Saturdays." - Nadia Chaudhury
