Several delectable courses in Saigon Block's Seven Courses of Meat feast.

At the top end of the range, in price and complexity, is Saigon Block, the rare Dallas-area Vietnamese restaurant specializing in big, flashy banquet foods. On Saigon Block’s menu, pho is practically an afterthought. Most of the tables in this dining room, which has been packed with fans since it opened 10 years ago, are ordering roasted quail, deep-fried Cornish hens, butter-basted frog legs, bountiful portions of beef and, of course, enormous slabs of catfish.
