Pleasantly surprised with Saigon Cafe in Clearwater. My wife and I were doing a little shopping and got hungry. We drove along Route 19 north to see if anything would drive our curiosity. Saigon Cafe did that for us, with its signage and location. Some may describe it as a hole in the wall type of place and I would not disagree. It's located in a nondescript strip mall, where road construction is all over the place. We took the chance and stopped in to check it out. The restaurant is clean and organized. The waiter and cook greeted us warmly. We were given menus and proceeded to review their offerings. Not much except basic Vietnamese and Korean fare. We decided on a tuna bahn mi sandwich and pho with brisket along with a shrimp and pork wrapped vegetable roll. Our expectations were minimal as we did not know what to expect. Surprise! The portions were large and the flavors were solid, not overwhelming. We were very happy. The service was attentive, polite and thorough. We had some nice conversations with our waiter and came away from the overall experience very satisfied. We will be back! read more
