ManMan Sai-Gon is a small Vietnamese owned restaurant on Molina Street, on the quieter side of Poblacion, done up like a Saigon home with vintage posters, plants and old market signs. The menu is Saigon street food: pho, banh mi, rice plates and noodles. The house special pho comes with sliced beef, tendon, tripe and meatballs, and the banh hoi with roast pork is the dish regulars mention next.
