Saigon Cafe (Temple, Texas)

I like the little marquee lights on the sign, though I don't think they do patterns, at least, not anymore. (Google Maps Street View)

I'm back with another entry ripped and slightly updated from the SW HK Dodgen Loop page (as of this writing), 220 SW H.K. Dodgen Loop. Located on the opposite side of Fryers Creek Lane from Cactus Jack's, this has been Saigon Cafe since 2010. Other restaurants here included Mulligan's Grill (1980-1989), Emperors of China (1992-1993), and Mr. Fajita's Buffet (1994-2004). The signage for Mr. Fajita's Buffet stuck around for several years after it closed, and it originally had the address of 520 Ramada Drive (at some point this and one other got changed to SW HK Dodgen).

At the time I thought it was pretty good but otherwise I can't remember much of it, including what I actually ordered....
