Unlike the bombastic Broadway show, this Miss Saigon is small, quiet, and not at all flashy. Servers at this family-run restaurant -- among them, Rick, the owners' son -- will graciously recommend dishes or even have something custom-made for you. If you're lucky, Rick may even sing you an aria with a voice ironically tailored to Webber shows. The menu is varied and reasonably priced, and the portions are huge -- large enough to share. Noodle dishes and soup bowls are hearty and flavorful; caramelized prawns are fantastic, as is the whole snapper with lemon grass and ginger sauce. Despite the fact that there are few tables inside and a hungry crowd usually gathers outside in the street, you won't be rushed through your meal, which is worth savoring. There is also a new, much larger location at 9503 S. Dixie Hwy., in South Miami's Pinecrest (tel. 305/661-2911).
