Mananya Eats: More than just bahn mi @SaigonSisters

(download)
Love mi a good bahn mi. Saigon Sisters' restaurant...cute. Surprisingly fancy looking. I thought it would be an in-n-out type of joint. Ohhhhh no. Prepare yourself for a dining experience. We're talking candles, dim lighting and an attentive waitstaff. If you're used to going to Broadway and Argyle for your Vietnamese fix, expect higher prices and smaller portions--not like your favorite Uptown mom n pop-owned restaurant. Saigon Sisters is just a notch below Le Colonial. A nice date night place.

The plating is gorgeous. Portions are definitely on the smaller side, but all the more reasons to order a variety! This is what our party had:

Beef Pho Soup $10

Bánh Bao, open faced steamed buns $7

Pork Belly, Egg and Rice $13

Tuna Tartar $13

Lobster Fritter on sugar cane $15

Better hurry! For now, they are BYOB.
