saigon bowl, strathfield.

I first discovered Saigon Bowl when the tennis club around the corner was packed and it was the best discovery ever! The Saigon Bowl is where I go for food in Strathfield. The food is made well and quick, given there isn't too many people. Although I've been there more times than I can count on my hands and toes I only eat two dishes there. I'm not a very adventurous eater, if I like it then I don't change.
