Saigon Chicken House

Saigon Chicken House on Adams Street gives chicken its own section of a much larger Vietnamese menu. Chicken rice comes with a choice of breast or leg and thigh, while fried wings are offered with fish sauce, butter, or salt and pepper. Elsewhere, look for shrimp on sugarcane, bánh xèo, pho and chicken turmeric noodle soup. Snails braised in coconut cream and clams steamed with lemongrass offer something to share before the main dishes arrive. There are rice plates, hot pots and vegetarian dishes, too. It’s worth reading past the chicken section before deciding what to put on the table.
