Name: Saigon Café
Address: 520 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo
Telephone: +17168831252

Displaced for a few months by the Elmwood Avenue location of Louie's Texas Red Hots, Saigon Café reopened under new management in October 2014, at the long-vacant former location of Mode Urban Bistro at the corner of Elmwood Avenue and West Utica Street. But despite these changes, the fare here remains the same as ever: reliably good Thai and Vietnamese specialties (including some of the best tom yum goong Buffalo has to offer), served in an upscale setting enhanced by the airy ambience of its new home. There's a good reason Artvoice readers awarded Saigon Café the prize of "Best Thai/Vietnamese Restaurant" in multiple annual "Best of Buffalo" polls.

Street Asian Food
Thanks to Street Asian Food, fans of the authentic flavors of Southeast Asia no longer have to venture into the fascinating but out-of-the-way West Side to get their fix. But you sure do pay for the privilege of a convenient location. On the menu is pretty much the same roster of Burmese and Thai specialties you'll find elsewhere — tea leaf salad, spicy yum nua beef salad, tom yum and Burmese chicken coconut soups, and the usual curries and noodle dishes — executed in a way that, while making no concessions on authenticity, is noticeably more refined and upscale than you'll find elsewhere in Buffalo. On the downside, portions are quite stingy, and be prepared for a case of sticker shock at the end of your meal.

Milkie's On Elmwood
Even on the few odd nights when there's nothing happening onstage, the dive-bar half of the Milkie's operation is open seven days a week serving a limited range of beer, cocktails, and pub grub to a real Who's Who of Elmwood Village denizens (as one reviewer put it, "you're as likely to have a conversation with a random college kid as an octogenarian who has been warming the same bar stool for a few decades"). The operative phrase here is "no frills" — Milkie's is definitely a throwback, seemingly stuck in a time warp before anyone had ever heard the words "artisanal", "locally sourced", and so forth — but if you're on a budget or pretension turns you off, you can scarcely do better.
