My first post about a restaurant in my new home of Rockville and it's a downer. Rockville is known for its Asian food throughout the DC metro area and I'm sure hoping that there is better out there than Taste of Saigon. The atmosphere was great, the whole restaurant is more or less outdoors and the decorations are gorgeous, but the food... We had the Vietnamese ravioli to start and then the papaya salad, saigon crepe, and thick rice noodles for our entrees. The best plate was the thick rice noodles, which had a nice sweet salty flavor. The worse plate was the crepe, which was incredibly doughy and thick. When you think crepe, you think thin and crisp, not thick and doughy. We even asked the waiter if it was supposed to be cooked through more and he said it should have been more crisp. Poor execution here. The papaya salad was okay and so were the ravioli. Overall, sigh...
3/5

hi vanessa. Whoa. sorry to hear about your experience at TOS, Rockville. I am a foodie, like you, but i must share that i love taste of saigon. I've never had the items you ordered but if you do go back, you must have the black pepper shrimp, chicken, steak OR lobster! i can't seem to order anything else from there - maybe that's why i always have a great experience. Hope you go back! Best.
