    First time at Saigon Sisters. I ordered the Branzino w/ white rice ($39) and my wife ordered the Thai Basil w/Chicken. We were informed by our waitress, the Branzino dish portion could be shared for two. Not so, the fish was the size of a small Tilapia or the meat presented was only one side of the Branzino. Both the Branzino and the Thai Basil was very salty. The seating was tight. Elbow to elbow where you can hear the next table's conversation clearly. The owner Dan was pleasant and I applaud him for his Operations skills in turning tables quickly to accommodate customers w/reservations waiting to be seated. The cocktails were good. Overall, we didn't feel the value for the dishes were justified. Also, a 20% gratuity was automatically added per their policy.

    What a wonderful place to indulge in Vietnamese and Thai food. It was our first time and the owners Dan and Mary were wonderful to suggest great items to us to try. All the courses were well prepared and you could taste the freshness. My wife's cocktail was terrific and I had the Saigon beer. The staff were very friendly and attentive. If you are in the area - don't miss Saigon Sisters at either location (they have a location in a nearby market). You won't regret the visit.

    Saigon Sisters is some of the most consistently excellent and authentic Vietnamese fare in the city. The little bao sandwich - especially the one with sweet, sticky fried chicken - paired with a noodle or rice entree or a curry - perfect meal.

    I've gone here a couple of times with a friend. Each time, the service has been impeccable -- the owner doubles as a host and is incredibly jovial and accommodating. Each time we've visited, we've gotten the chicken fried bao buns, beef pad woon sen, and the crab fried rice. We loved the food the first time we visited. We did not enjoy it as much the second time -- the pad woon sen was distinctly different than what we remembered (kinda soupy at the bottom). The lychee martinis are tasty and fairly strong. Overall, it's a good spot to check out.
