In the basement of the Tokyu Toyokoten Department Store (the one right next to Hachiko: how convenient ...), Saigon is no more than a corner among the many food stalls, and has just five seats. Although it even has a name, more than a restaurant it's just a place where you can have a quick but tasty bite while shopping around, but it's very good, cheap and fun, so that I don't mind at all eating there. The menu includes five or six different sets and nothing else, each of them costing around 900 - 1000 yen. The Vietnamese cooks take your orders and prepare the food right in front of you, something I have always liked here in Asia and that you never get in Europe.
I can't think of a better alternative to a hamburger at MacDonald's: it's almost as fast, almost as cheap and way better.

Saigon has three other branches which might be interesting.
