Saigon Dep

Staying warm with a bowl of phở. It was cold today so I decided to make the half hour trip to Yokohama Chinatown. Saigon Dep is located in the outskirts of Chinatown close to the Motomachi side. It was about a 5 min walk from Ishikawacho station.
The Food: Fresh Spring Rolls, Phở Bo & Saigon Export Lager. The spring rolls were nice and fresh. Not a fan of the sauce. I prefer the peanut based sauce. The phở bo was pretty good for being in Japan. Broth here was a little lighter flavored. You can taste the roasted ginger. Beef slices and noodles were ok as well. Maybe I’m a lil picky when it comes to phở. I like the other stuff that others avoid– Tripe and tendon. Not served here. The Saigon lager pairs well with the phở.
Service: Excellent! Mom and Pop kind or restaurant. Service has always been great. Food arrived quick. Japanese, English and Vietnamese understood here.
Worth checking out if you want a bowl of phở. Missing my favorite stuff (Tendon and tripe) but yeah it was still a decent bowl. ¹²⁄₁₀₀ 2016.
