Meritt/Holden is the Saigon Restaurant. Good food and a formal atmosphere. There’s 6 or 7 in town. I’ve tried them all. Here’s a list starting with my favorites.
1 Bihn Mihn on West Market about a block east of Edwardia.
2 Don’t remember the name of this one but it opened this summer in a new shopping center behind the strip mall ethnic stores at Farmington and Holden.
3 Saigon mentioned above.
4 Van Loi at Farmington and Holden, also has a Viet BBQ carry out attached to it.
5 The place over by the projects at Florida and Freeman Mill
6 A Loation sandwich place about 5 doors down from the project place.
There used to be a great place near High Point rd. and Fla. street that was a real mom/pop joint. I was there 2-3 times a week and didn’t even have order, they knew what I wanted and brought it out. It closed sometime this past summer.
There’s also two or three Viet Cafes around the Holden/Farmington intersection which are 100% Viet culture immersion when you’re there. That Coffee lites me up as good or better than Cuban coffee.
I wonder if they are open on Thanksgiving which is when I will be in town next.
