Quotable things to say about this place: "It's cheap, so price matches quality." "It's ight." "You get what you paid for." Overall: It's average in taste, but budget friendly. - Limited seating, so be mindful of that. - They have a good menu that offers plenty at competitive pricing, so Columbia students will likely be frequenting this establishment. - However, what they succeed in affordability, they lose in flavor profile. - Their chicken curry dish didn't offer a good threshold of taste. It tasted like chicken from a soup can (i.e. bland to say the least). - Their wait time was fair; judging by how busy they can get. - Their portion size was appreciable. - They knew what they were doing with their sticky rice. Go here if you're in the area looking for a cheap meal. Other than that, nothing special. Was my review helpful? Let me know with a like, so I know that I'm helping you on your journey to better foraging experiences.

Roast pork shoulder bahn mi, $8.82 after tax and the 10% lunchtime discount (11:30AM-5PM), listed as $10 on the menu. This makes it the most I've ever paid for bahn mi (over $5.50 in Houston is considered expensive), but I felt it contained enough meat to justify the price. The meat was mildly sweet, dripping with roast porky juices, and beautifully glazed. I poured the sauce - similar to Sriracha - liberally over the cut surface and then, in the blink of an eye, it was all gone. I was left looking forlornly at the bamboo skewers that once held together my beautiful sandwich but now seemed like grave markers. (You can definitely pick it up with one hand, though.) Good mix of pickled carrots, jalapeño, cilantro, cucumber wedges. Bread with a crust that cracks in a hundred places when pressed. Overall, a very tasty and filling bahn mi. I'll try the juicy boneless chicken thigh rendition if I'm ever in the area again.

High reviews drew me across town to try the banh mi sandwich. The pork and accompanying fillings were quite tasty. However the bread spoiled everything. A good banh mi must be on a crispy baguette with some of the insides scooped out to make room for fillings. This crispy/crunchy ‘mouth-feel’ is absolutely essential for banh mi. However Saiguette uses hoagie bread, marshmallow-soft and voluminous, like you can find at Vinnie’s bodega. Too bad, this completely ruined what otherwise would have been a good sandwich.

Best banh mi I’ve had in NYC by far. The lemongrass pork is the thing to get here. I just finished my sandwich and I already want another one. Interesting that they use pickled jalapeño instead of fresh. My friend fed some of his bread to a duck and he said that the sriracha mayo was still on it and that the duck found it spicy which is why it went to the water after not for any other reason. All these are photos of the same sandwich. I just really liked it.
