Miss Saigon is on the move! The locally-owned Vietnamese restaurant that’s located near the Ronstadt Center bus station at 47 N. Sixth Ave. is moving to 88 E. Broadway.
This is the empty space on the ground floor of the Tucson Electric Power (TEP) building and the former MiAn Sushi & Modern Asian Cuisine spot, which closed back in 2019.
The current spot on Sixth Avenue will remain open until February 2024 and the team is hoping to have the new location on Broadway open by March. The menu stay intact, too, and some dining specials will be added at the new location.
The Rio Nuevo Board is helping Miss Saigon with the move and remodel of the new space, and they’re also taking over the remainder of the lease at Sixth Avenue until a new tenant moves in.
Quick Recap:
Miss Saigon will be closing its 47 N. Sixth Ave. location by February to move into its new space at 88 E. Broadway Blvd. in March (dates subject to change). The restaurant has two other locations at 1072 N. Campbell Ave. and 250 S. Craycroft Rd.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
