Saigon Deli and Market
8610 N. Lamar, 837-6641Deli hours: daily, 11am-8pm
A true hidden gem of a cafeteria-style buffet and deli counter. Most get food to go, but a few tables exist. Gracious service (although sometimes tough to find an English speaker), and huge servings of fabulous home-style Vietnamese food for little prices. Find the elusive Bahn Xeo (egg and coconut milk crepe with shrimp) and the best char siu roast pork around these parts. They have a lunch special every day for $3.99, and unless you speak Viet, it can sometimes be a surprise (but always delicious). Wonderful people and chow; go now.
