Miss Saigon - Vietnamese restaurant in New York - 928 Amsterdam Ave, USA

Miss Saigon has a sleek interior with bright banquette seating. For lunch, I ordered the hot and sour soup ($5.95 plus tax) which had nice fresh vegetables and herbs. However, the sweetness from the pineapple chunks masked the sour tang of the broth. They certainly did not skimp on the shrimp for the drunken noodles ($14.95 plus tax) but it could have been spicier and slightly less oily.

Excellent service and a relaxed ambience. Normally, shrimp soup is the go to but tried the lemongrass chicken and was very pleased.

This restaurant delivers in all aspects of quality. Food, service, and experience. The fried spring rolls are out of this world. Both the chicken and pork bahnmi sandwiches are toasted, and the mayo is delightful. The glaze is amazing and cooked to perfection. The ox tail broth pho is amazing! The service is amazing! Always providing ample napkins and topping up our water. I love. Thank you. Will come again and advertise for you.

I ordered the vegetable spring rolls and a pho chicken soup. When I called to place the order the lady who took my order had minimum English and was hard to understand. When I arrived I had to wait a few minutes for someone to come and attend me. When I open my food. I smelled pork on my spring rolls. When I called to tell them I ordered Vegetable spring rolls. The same lady gave me an attitude and gave the phone to someone else. I was able to exchange them. Once I opened the vegetable spring rolls they were so greasy and had minimum flavor. No ordering again. Customer service is horrible

I was super excited to see a new Vietnamese spot in this neighborhood (it’s been lacking one since Saigon Grill shuttered years ago). Sadly, this food is truly awful. Everything we ordered (there were five of us so we got a lot) seemed to have been microwaved: they all had that over-steamed, soggy texture and general tastelessness you get when you set the timer too long on your Trader Joe’s burritos. Honestly you’d be better off grabbing some of the frozen Vietnamese foods from TJs. The waitstaff was super nice and the restaurant was clean, but to survive in this eclectic area surrounded by great restaurants (delicious Indian, Ethiopian, Thai, Falafel, and Chinese are all within 1-3 blocks) you’ve gotta bring the goods.

vvvvvvvery very very good food. i had only dipped in here for its quietude and burnt orange booths and wifi after a long day out alone far from home, comfortable in the Tuesday emptiness of this long-roomed restaurant. I didn’t expect such a gourmet turnout! Jesus christ! This food is VERY good. The hot and sour shrimp soup is so fresh and bright and veggie filled and complex, and the spring rolls are ssssssssssssssso good. So crispy and dimensional and they come with the big lettuce pieces. I also love how quiet it is in here on a Tuesday at 8, as a singular person who came in to write on their laptop, but I hope theyre busier usually. They are ten star!!!! I’m gonna bring my dad here next time he’s in the city, yknow? Like they’re that sort of reliably impressive wowowsotasty kind of place. Plus these orange booths! Veeery coolbeautiful. I like the broad and silent tiled walls too. It must be busy here on fridays but i feel lucky to have a quiet tuesday in late september alone.

I used to be a long time, regular customer, ordering the beef pho "with no tripe please" written on every order, but recently the quality of the beef has changed dramatically. I'll leave you with a photo of what I had to pull out of my last beef pho dish. It's not pretty. Even the beef deemed good enough to leave in, wasn't up to par. My advice to the restaurant, revert back to the quality of the beef you used to use before this cheap change. From now on I'll be ordering from different Vietnamese restaurants.

Was in the neighborhood on Friday though was not that hungry so decided to go for a smaller meal to dine in nearby. Still, was craving for Vietnamese food so came back to take out. Subways were running so took the uptown and it was just a few blocks away. Friday was packed but today, aside from a pick up, was the only one (I guess maybe that it was not just a rainy day but late afternoon). So what did I order? There was a lot on the menu including my fav bahn mi (decided to save the sandwich for another visit). instead of chicken satay on a stick, got the chicken satay dish(described as famous sliced chicken with peanut sauce, served with cucumber, tomato, onion and roast peanuts) dish was huge and good. next, I got the grilled pork chops which I found very flavourful. 3rd dish was the pineapple fried rice (which could have used more pineapple). Lastly, got the pad thai with shrimp (to add a little seafood) and that was good too. All in all, meals were satisfying. Definitely recommend and as mentioned, going back soon to try their sandwiches.
