Location: 512 Niagara Falls Boulevard, Buffalo. Between Kenmore and Sheridan on the west side of the street. (716) 837-2115 Driving down NFB many of you have no doubt noticed this restaurant. It really stands out because most of the shops on that strip are in beat up old buildings. This restaurant is the complete opposite with an attractive and inviting facade. The interior follows through and is impecably clean. The atmosphere is relaxing and casual. It’s casual enough for a meal among friends, but it’s also a great place to take that significant other for a fine meal. The food was excellent from the fresh veggies to the seafood and meat. I had the summer rolls and panang curry duck. You can’t get good duck just anywhere and they passed that test with flying colors. The menu is very extensive including pages and pages of Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. The portions were just the right size and the price just right as well. $8-12 for entrees and $3-6 for most appetizers. Any place where a couple can go have an quality meal in a great environment for 40 bucks or less gets an A in my book. The service was quick, attentive, and charming, yet never overbearing. Just the way I like it. I plan to return as soon I get the chance. This takes the place of Saigon Cafe as my favorite Thai joint in Buffalo. Saigon Bangkok has several times the seating and plenty of free parking versus searching around elmwood to find a spot and waiting for one of just a few tables to free up at Saigon Cafe. Happy eating! 🙂 -Mike edit: reservations can be made, but usually not necessary on off nights. ---

I wasn’t sure if they owned both, but Pat and his brother were in the kitchen cooking for us. The food at both places is great either way, but I prefer the overall package at Saigon Bangkok. I’d go there as often as I could if I didn’t know them, but since they’re car club locals we all have an extra reason to go. 🙂 -Mike ---
