Restaurants in Ottawa - Saigon
This is a good Vietnamese restaurant in the market. Again it is not cheap for what it is around 20 CAD per dish. The vermicelli with beef and chicken tastes good.

Restaurants San Francisco - Bodega Bistro (recommendable)
This is a simple, perhaps some would even call it kitschy place, but great Vietnamese food! So ignore the scooter that is standing in the restaurant as decor and enjoy the food!
We tried the following dishes NOM (finely shredded papaya topped with tender beef and coarsely grounded peanuts with a tangy sauce), Cha Gio (crispy vietnamese egg rolls filled with crab meat, hicama and wood ear mushrooms), Goi Cuon (pork and shrimp wrapped in summer spring roll), Pho Ga (chicken in rice noodle soup), Bun Cha Handi (marinated pork served with vermicelli, salad wrap and a delicious sauce) and Bo Luc Lac (filet mignon marinated with garlic, pepper and a special seasoning sauce.
My two favourite dishes here was the Bo Luc Lac and the Bun Cha Handi.
Again the value for money is good - we paid around 20 USD per person.
Restaurants San Francisco - Thanh Long (recommendable)
This Vietnamese Restaurant is in a residential area west of the Fisherman's Wharf of San Franciso (by the Golden Gate Park).
We tried the garlic noodles, garlic rice, roast crab (a whole crab roasted with garlic sauce)! Even though every dish was delicious here, one of my favourite dishes here was the Shake Beef (tender cubes of marinated steak flambeed in Chardonnay served with potatoes, mixed greens & cherry tomatoes).
Main dishes are around 20 USD per person, so not on the cheap side, but definitely worth a try. This place has a more trendy restaurant which is more central called Crustacean San Francisco, but according to a local source the food is not as good as in Thanh Long.
