A page of vegetarian specials has been added, and the list of seafood preparations now includes curries, spicy salads, stir-fries served over noodle nests and a fisherman's soup in hot pot. Caramel pork is a commonplace Vietnamese entree that has always seemed boring to me. At Miss Saigon, though, the caramel is so intense that it is tangy as well as sweet, almost like China's famous Yunnan ham or even vaguely reminiscent of American country ham with red-eye gravy. Chunks of steak and spiced potatoes are sauteed so that they are crusty and buttery-tasting, a heightened version of steak and french fries. Service at Miss Saigon is observant and low-key.
Prices are low, particularly at lunch.
If you're in either neighborhood, it's worth a try.
