Cafe Saigon / best vietnamese

I have always found the quality and value at Nha Trang to be very good. It seems to compare well to some of the VN restaurants in Manhattan (e.g. Nha Trang Center in Chinatown) in terms of authenticity. I haven't tried Cafe Saigon but since the prices are significantly higher I never felt the need to pay more when I was happy with NT. However, I may try Saigon based on the reviews here. One interesting thing about NT used to be the 7 foot tall Vietnamese waiter. He seems to be gone now tho.

Taqueria. You can have it.

I have been reading the reviews for Taqueria with interest. When this placed opened I made a habit of visiting about once a week. I was a big fan of the pozole and so I would come in just for that. Many people have said that the food here is SO authentic that they are happy to overlook the place's negative vibe just to get at those tacos. Well...I'm not. Spending 4+ hours a month here for many months allowed me to witness some surprisingly surly behavior on the part of the staff. Not just a one-off...but clearly a trend. As someone else pointed out, the standard of behavior is set by the owners and trickles down through the ranks...resulting in a dining experience which can range from uncomfortable to embarrassing. Now I am not saying that on every single visit I experienced this...and many times I observed poor treatment of others...not necessarily myself. On my last visit I sat down with my wife to look over one of the paper menus and the owner came over after 5 minutes and in a voice dripping with sarcasm said..."I hope you're aware...you have to order at the counter?" (Actually, that looks amazingly innocuous in print...but those of you who have experienced the attitude in this place will recognize "the Phil" in this comment.) Who is this guy...the maitre d' at the Ritz? SO, I looked at my wife and asked her, "Remind me again why we keep coming to this place?" And we haven't been back for over a year now...and don't miss it all. You know...the food might be authentic...it might not. I'm not Mexican so that distinction is lost on me. I just want my food to taste good and to be served by someone who appears to understand what it means to work in the HOSPITALITY industry. I really don't expect to have my tuchus kissed and I don't need for the owner to be my buddy. But I don't feel right giving my money to a place that obviously holds its client?le in such open contempt. Yes I know there will be folks who'll say, "Good! Leaves more for us (nya, nya, nya)" but I really think it will only leave more for you temporarily. I don't think it will be too long before that sign on the corner changes again. FYI...I have found some really good places on Bergenline where the food is good and the staff are friendly...definitely worth exploring.
