A Saigon Cafe | One of Maui's Best Kept Secrets

Hidden in a little corner of Wailuku, with no visible signage from any major road, there's no way you'll find this authentic Vietnamese restaurant by accident. Why the secrecy? It's an oasis away from the tourists, and it's probably best that way. The locals know and visit regularly. You'll know when the staff speak to the customers by name. As a result, it's comfortable, affordable and not meant for the touristy all-you-can-eat appetite. The service is warm, and the atmosphere relaxed. The food in fact rivals that of Phnom Pehn (Vancouver Chinatown's world-famous Vietnamese-Cambodian restaurant). Get your pho-fix, fill your lemongrass cravings and wash it all down with some Vietnamese ice-tea (which doesn't exist in Vancouver, unfortunately). You'll love it!
