Eat Saigon

I was quite excited to discover this new Vietnamese restaurant near my new office. I used to work near Kingsland Road, so was spoilt for choice with places like Viet Grill and Song Que. I was hoping Eat Saigon would be my new regular, but unfortunately it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. The dish I sampled was my Vietnamese benchmark dish — Bún tht nng (BBQ pork with vermicelli). Unfortunately the pork wasn’t nearly charred enough and was a little soggy, and the spring rolls served with it were cheap nasty pre-​made ones. On the plus side, the salad was fresh, and they provided a good sized portion of nuoc cham. Overall, the food was okay, but not outstanding. I’ll probably try one more time before ruling out.
