Saigon Cafe-Pho Sho!

I met a friend hear for lunch because I hear the Pho is very good!

Time: 1:15pm

We were promptly greeted at the door and seen to a table. The restaurant was about 70% full.

One server brought us out water almost as soon as we sat down and a few minutes later another server came over and took our order.

I ordered the Medium Pho Bowl(chicken) with an order of Fresh shrimp and pork spring rolls(not fried)

The Springs Rolls came out in about 10-15 minutes and were very good! The wrapping was nice and the fillings inside seemed very fresh.
I have had them before and the wrapping was slightly stiff.

About 10 minutes after the rolls came out the Pho Bowls came out.
My goodness-nice and pipping hot just the way I LIKE it!
All of the chicken was white meat. No traces of dark meat.
I don't think I lifted my head out of the bowl more than 2 times.

Service-Great-Re filled our drinks, asked were we okay and had a smile the entire time.
Oh and when he saw me look up and around almost instantly he said "do you need a fork?" "Yes please", I replied:-)

Food-Great!

Price-AWESOME-$6.50 for a medium bowl!!!

Interior-Average in terms of decorations but very very clean

Would I go back? Yes for sure!!!!

Why can't this place be on Buford Hwy. I just hate fighting that I-85 traffic:(

Korean Anyone....Han IL Kwan

I ended up here for lunch as one of my favorite Pho places was closed as they were on VACATION!
Um excuse me you can't go on vacation when I have a Pho craving....just kidding.
I ventured to Han IL Kwan which is a Korena Restuarant. I heard the Golbi is good so since I am a Golbi fan I figured why not.

Food-Good-I had the Golbi Lunch Box-Golbi,3 california rolls,salad,white rice and tempura veggies and a pice of shrimp. The Golbi was very tasty.
While waiting on the food(which is typical of most Korean Restuarants) they bring you out small dishes of various pickled vegetables and a soup. I enjoyed maybe half of them. Favs-Seaweed, Kimchi, and the soup.

Service-Good-Everyone was friendly and served us quickly.

Price-Good-under $12.00

I would definitely good back.
