Saigon Pagolac Restaurant

Nice, simple place. Very good food, reasonably priced. Typical light Vietnamese flavors with the option to spice things up. I did notice they water the soap down in the women's restroom to the point where it just squirts out like straight water. Needed to mention, so they might stop doing that, because even though it's just mildly annoying, it's like, come on. Tipped them $20 on a $29 bill, so hopefully they put that towards soap.... Like, I'll BUY you soap. Don't skimp on THAT when the restroom isn't even nice to begin with. Still 5 stars overall.

My sister and I shared the 7 beef orders. It was enough for two people. You have the rice paper that you roll up with your veggies and meat to make your very own spring roll. The service got slow once we got our food also more people showing up. There were only two waiters for the lunch crowd. I would definitely eat here again!

The whole fish is the highlight of this place. It's a whole catfish that is fried then broiled topped with green onions, peanuts, fried shallots. It was very good with a Crispy skin and moist meat inside. Very fun to so make the sorting rolls with it. We also got the bo nuong vi with the lemongrass beef and seafood platter. They oil the plate and the meat with some kind of vegetable oil and not using butter which was a disappointment because the butter would have given it better flavor and crisp. The cons on this place was the lack of AC (that have multiple fans around the room that will blow hot air on you) and the service was very slow. We had to get up several times to ask for drinks or napkins and even waited 15 minutes after our spring rolls were delivered to get the dipping fish sauce. Maybe they need to hire more wait staff? Or poor waiter was running around like crazy and still couldn't keep up... we tipped him extra for the effort
