Pearce Vietnamese Restaurant

If I don't have the Saigon Restaurant in Pearce listed on my things I like about Canberra, it's because it belongs on the list of "things I LOVE about Canberra". The food is just so good and cheap. The food is the closest I've tasted to what I got when I travelled in Vietnam. And the rice paper rolls are simply the best you will find in Canberra (I think) - if anyone knows of other good Vietnamese Restaurants in Canberra, please comment and let me know, because I'm willing to be proven wrong.

Now, don't expect much in the way of silver service (or any service for that matter); decor or comforts like heating in winter. But really I couldn't give a flying fuck about any of that, as long as the food is good.

Frustrating Frank, Licentious Lisa, Pushy Pooja and me (Nasty Nina) decided to go there last night on a whim after we hadn't been there since about June last year and it was just as good as I remember. The prices had gone up, but really, it was about time.
