Little Saïgon

I was told this place was ‘good’, ‘quick’ and ‘cheap’. I can report back that the place looks good and indeed is very reasonably priced. However, it failed to meet expectations when it came to the food and speed of service.
I went on a weekday over lunch. Being August, most of the other eateries in the area were closed so the restaurant was quite full. Somehow, I fear that the surge in popularity was the main reason for a very long wait. With just the one waiter, and possibly no more than one cook, food was delivered very slowly, waiting 15mins for starters and another 30mins for mains. Not what I call ‘quick’, especially for a Chinese restaurant.
As for the food itself, when it arrived it was only very average at best. My BBQ ribs (starter) were decent, but the Cantonese style duck failed miserably (main). I tried my dad’s plate of food and found nothing to raise my spirits. All a bit bland unfortunately.
Maybe I expected a bit much, but in the end I simply could not recommend the place. Very average food and too much of a wait.
