saigon vietnamese restaurant

saigon is a cheap vietnamese restaurant just south of our house on el cajon blvd, and we dropped in tonight with our friend david. i couldn't believe it had been 3 years since i'd been, given it's so close and how good the food is. my pho was full of tasty meat and noodles in a big bowl, and was only $5. we also had some chinese sausage rolls and spring rolls. jay got a big rice dish and took half home, while david had a massive bowl of vermicelli noodles and egg rolls, which he also doggy-bagged. given the price and quality of food, this might be one of the better eating deals that i've experienced. while the restaurant is nothing great to look at, it's much better than the car dealership that preceded it at this location.
