EVG reader Doug shares the sad news that Saigon Market has permanently closed on University Place between 12th Street and 13th Street... they closed after service on Oct. 4 ...
The owners left this message on the restaurant's website:The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is affecting our way of life and businesses. Saigon Market has tried our best to survive through this but unfortunately with deepest pain and regret, we want to inform you that our doors will close permanently as of Sunday, Oct. 4.Saigon Market would like to THANK our local communities, loyal patrons, and friends for all of the support during the past 10 years!
They will continue on with their Saigon Grill & Bar in Brooklyn.
This is such a painful period. Losing a longtime neighborhood friend hurts a lot.
ReplyDeleteAnother one bites the dust. I frequented this restaurant for years when I was completing my undergraduate degree nearby at The New School. Their food was always delicious and inexpensive. Good lunch deals when you're a broke student. Damn. Pretty soon there might not be anywhere to go.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame, but not surprising. For restaurants with such a large footprint it seems like staying open with outside dining and only 25% indoor is not sustainable. Vapiano a block north, also a large space, is also permanently closed.
ReplyDeleteVery sad — Saigon Market had the BEST soup! It was a great space to catch up with friends, have a date, or dine alone. Service was consistently stellar for over a decade. Alas, the location in Brooklyn looks like a journey.
ReplyDeleteIts fucking ridiculous Veneiros has to take everyone's temperature and personal information to get inside for a piece of cheesecake at 25% capacity, but the NYU frats have massive parties all night long without any restraint. NY POst is putting an expose to show how NYU is doing its best to kill us all.
