Located on a stretch of Cleveland Street that is well populated with Asian joints, Saigon Le, which is practically old-school when Lobster King and My Thanh are taken into consideration, certainly packs ‘em in. While the environment of Memphis' favorite Vietnamese restaurant is decidedly no-frills, the delicious, fresh fare transcends the plastic dinnerware it's served on. The lunch special – soup, an egg roll and fried rice – is a bargain (and delicious), but you'll enjoy your meal even more by venturing beyond the standard choices and ordering more traditional Vietnamese items, ranging from green shell mussels (topped with oyster sauce or French butter) to pork-and-rice plates and buns. Vegetarians, too, can stuff themselves with entrées such as barbecued wheat gluten, black bean tofu and Saigon steamed vegetables in special sauce. Reservations are not accepted at Saigon Le, so if you're trying to dine during prime time, be prepared to wait for a table, or get your order to go. Beer available. Serving lunch and dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun. Voted Best Vietnamese Restaurant in 2007 Memphis Flyer and 2008 Memphis magazine readers polls.

Do you prefer your pork shoulder chopped or pulled, your ribs served wet or dry? In this musical mecca of W.C. Handy, Booker T. and Elvis Presley, different culinary tunes still sound sweet.
