Fodor's Expert Review Miss Saigon

Shades of mauve and green, black Art Deco accents, and potted palms decorate this Vietnamese gem in an often overpriced and overhyped neighborhood. Appearances count here, but on the plate and not in the clientele—and you'll be grateful for that when you tuck into the crisp spring rolls or refreshing salad of shredded green papaya, cucumber, and basil, topped with shrimp or chicken. Daily specials include imaginative preparations of the freshest seafood. In addition, "caramel"-cooked and grilled meats are standouts.
