Mirror had it's X-mas party last night and Mike and I were a little groggy this morning. We knew Kien Giang would hit the spot.We were in somewhat of a rush. We had deliveries to check in before we could go eat. Everyone was due in at 2:00 p.m. which gave us 1 hour. We know Kien Giang is timingly challanged but decided we had to have pho. The only problem, we forgot they are closed on Mondays. I always forget. Miss Saigon to the rescue. We ordered the #24 (beef parts and seafood) pho, the BBQ sandwich and some springrolls.
The spring rolls were not as fresh as the ones at Kien Giang but they came out so fast I could forgive the slightly chewy nature. The BBQ sandwich was not as substantial as I would have liked but the bread they use is perfect. Soft on the inside with the perfect crispness for the crust. There is a sister Miss Saigon in Cool Springs which makes the most fantastic Pho broth I have found. It has the perfect delicate balance of flavors. This location does not have the same broth which disappoints me but a little embelishment with the condiment suzy and we're in business. All in all, the food we tried may be better at other places but speed is a big bonus when you desperately need substinance.
