Chateau de Saigon

The weather is getting colder, and that means it's time for some Pho.  Malory's brother and sister-in-law were visiting and we had heard great things about Chateau de Saigon so we decided to give it a try.  Its located on Buford Highway just north of Dresden.  The shopping center was very updated and you can't miss the sign.  It was packed for a Monday and the dining room was very clean and updated.  Malory's brother and sister-in-law have been to Vietnam so we looked to them for some suggestions.  We started with some Vietnamese beer, fried tofu roll and a garlic green bean special.

For our entrees, Malory had the "Shaky Beef" which was beef cooked in a sweet and sour-like sauce with some pickled vegetables and rice. 

I wanted to go with some Pho and decided on the house special.  Pho is traditionally rice noodles in a broth with braised beef or chicken and usually served with lime, basil, bean sprouts and peppers (all on the side - you decide what you want in it).

All of our dishes had great flavors and the vegetables were very fresh.  The staff was also very friendly and even though their english was not the best, they tried to explain menu items and help us order.  Their menu was extensive and there were plenty of dishes to try so we will definitely be back.
