Golden Saigon

Golden Saigon has occupied the same strip-mall spot in Aurora since 1995, all the while serving up homey Vietnamese staples like pho along with entrees you don't often find on Vietnamese restaurant menus -- like curry. Though Vietnam isn't known for its curries, says owner Mama Le's daughter, Van Le, Golden Saigon's version is actually the dish that keeps customers coming back. It's not a green or red curry such as those found in neighboring Thailand. Instead, the restaurant's version is made from Indian madras curry powder, coconut milk and lots of lemongrass that keep the dish solidly grounded in Vietnamese flavors.
