Many thanks, Jason. They should change their Website (http://www.saigonr.com/menu.htm) which says they're closed on Mondays...

Stopped by Saigon R in Englewood last night (Tuesday) about 5:30 and to my disappointment it was dark and locked. Any news?

I remember Zaberer's near AC had a bowl full of what must have been very cheap caviar and crackers in the area where you waited to be called for a table. Another pleasant memory of a restaurant long gone: La Finestra in Rochelle Park, where I had my first flaming Bananas Foster. The place was filled with statuary, stained glass windows (hence the name), etc. Also the odd McDonald's (not the chain), on Kinderkamack Road just north of Montvale on the NY border was "decorated" on walls and ceilings with hundreds of old rifles, artillery shells and the like. Very bizarre (it's now the Porter House).

Loved it all-especially the ruby pork stuffed into the sesame bun. And special thanks to MarkyMark, who taught me the proper way to transfer the soup dumplings to the spoon so as not to puncture them before eating!

Could I (and wife) be added to waiting list. We went last year and had a great time!
