"Not so fun, really,"
is the oft-used quip about this Hell's Kitchen Vietnamese joint. "The
food would have been better if they offered a happy ending or some
sort of free sliced oranges for dessert," was another classic.
Unfortunately, both sentiments really capture the flavor--or lack
there of--of Saigon Fun and its somewhat lackadaisical attitude toward
decent cuisine. Where as other Vietnamese food we've had was robust,
flavorful and somewhat juicy, Saigon Fun's fare was more small, shriveled
and, honestly, kind of rabbit turd-like. The space itself has the
unmistakable feeling of your neighborhood Greek diner, complete with
mirrors and icicle lights hanging outside. This is definitely one
of those places that just hopes to catch some of the lunchtime overflow
from the hundreds of area restaurants. [MF] |
