New Saigon

I really enjoy New Saigon (59 First Avenue East Village). Okay. This place is definitely for take out, owing to the fact that it is a downright homely hole in the wall. But take a few bites of this surprisingly fresh, gingery Vietnamese influenced Chinese cooking, and you'll be hooked. The people who run this place care about quality, and it sure comes through in the food. Also, at around $5 a portion, this place offers an excellent value for the neighborhood.
