Dive into this cozy Vietnamese gem in Chinatown, where hearty noodle soups and fresh spring rolls reign supreme, paired with an inviting vibe upstairs at Bar Saigon.
"Yes, Vietnam serves the best spring rolls in the city. But the reason it’s remained one of Chinatown’s most popular destinations since 1984 is thanks to its versatility. The first floor of the restaurant is all about huge vermicelli bowls, peppery pork claypot, and crispy rice noodles with shrimp, while the second floor is a tiki bar, complete with flaming punch bowls and mai tais in colorful glasses. In a city rife with excellent Vietnamese food, it means something to still be great after four decades running." - alison kessler, candis mclean
"Vietnam is essentially a one-two punch. The bottom floor is a Vietnamese restaurant with incredible dishes like vermicelli rice noodle bowls, papaya salad, and lime chicken. Once you and your friends have finished arguing over who gets the last spring roll, head upstairs to Bar Saigon. The second-floor space is basically a tiki bar, with flaming punch bowls and Mai Tais in colorful glasses. Hitting both in one night is one of our favorite birthday party moves, but each place is also great on its own." - candis mclean, alison kessler
