Miss Saigon Bistro
146 Giralda Ave
(At Ponce de León and 37th Ave., Coral Gables)
tel.: 305/446-8006
Location: At Ponce de León and 37th Ave., Coral Gables
Cuisine: Asian/Pac Rim
Price Category: Inexpensive

Unlike Andrew Lloyd Webber's bombastic Broadway show, this Miss Saigon is small, quiet, and not at all flashy. Servers at this family-run restaurant--among them, Rick, the owners' son--will graciously offer to recommend dishes or even to custom-make something for you. The menu is varied and reasonably priced and the portions are huge--large enough to share. Noodle dishes and soup bowls are hearty and flavorful; caramelized prawns are fantastic, as is the whole snapper with lemongrass and ginger sauce. Despite the fact that there are few tables inside and a hungry crowd usually gathers outside in the street, they will not at all rush you through your meal, which is worth savoring.

Main courses $4-$17.Open: Mon-Thurs 11am-3pm and 5:30-10pm, Fri-Sat 5:30-11pm, Sun 5:30-10pm.Credit Cards: AE, DC, DISC, MC, V.
