While most other places were closing this place jumped out at me because they were still open. If that's one thing I hate about the south (especially Gwinnett County) its that if you're not hungry until after 9, then you're screwed. Anyway, as soon as we walked in we were greeted & seated by a very friendly waitress who throughout our visit talked to my kids and was very sweet. While there is no kids menu & I had to order a regular meal, I was given 2 saucers to help split the meal between the two so for that I would say they were somewhat kid friendly.
In terms of service, we had drink within the first 2 minutes which I consider great. I ordered Cheese Rolls for an appetizer, Shrimp Rama for me & for the kids an order of Chicken Pad Thai. Our order was ready in 10 minutes. I have had cheese rolls before & usually they have been in the form of a spring roll but these were in the Crab Rangoon form which i cant say is worse or better, just different. I have also had Rama & it was usually over a bed of spinach but this dish was over a bed of broccoli. The peanut sauce was a little lighter than I usually like it but good nonetheless.

As for the Pad Thai..... It smelled horrible to me but the twins said it smelled great & bless their little hearts they ate everything I gave them while using chopsticks..lol! Whatever they didn't eat (remember it was an adult portion for two 6 year olds) I brought home. When my husband got home from fishing he ate the rest. Everyone thought it was delicious so the smell thing could have just been me. All in all, I have had better but Saigon Cafe was fine & a pleasant experience.
