Saiguette

On Columbus Avenue, this kitchen serves up speedy Vietnamese comfort food at prices that feel remarkably fair for Manhattan. The popular lemongrass pork shoulder banh mi steps away from the classic crusty style, opting instead for a softer bread loaded with tender meat, pickled vegetables, and sauce. The menu also features pho and hearty entrees. Because there is no space to dine inside, the operation is geared for online ordering, pickup, and delivery, with weekday lunch discounts making it an easy neighborhood staple.
