This snug corner take-out restaurant on the upper west side shoves out your order from a counter near the bustling kitchen in plastic bags packed with plastic containers full of broth, beef, noodles, raw onions and a small baggie of basil leaves, lime wedge and bean sprouts. Don’t be fooled by the aggressive speed and efficiency—Saiguette has friendly staff and a delicious and extensive menu at very affordable prices. Whilst generally known for its tasty bánh mì sandwich, Saiguette also does a great takeout phở that is light and flavorful.
Time Out Tip: Perfect for doers in the Upper West Side who can put together their own phở from different takeout containers without complaint.
