User Reviews for Little Saigon

The food was very good, but a bit bland in comparison to what I expected. I've traveled Southeast Asia, and they use their spices very liberally. Here, there was very little extra. The portions were nicely sized, my lunch could've been dinner very easily.

I was rather disappointed with the food at this restaurant. Yes, there are fresh vegetables (this is a staple of Vietnamese food) but to someone who grew up with parents from Vietnam, the food was rather bland and without with complex flavor that comes from the combination of seasonings and herbs. I'd recommend Mai Lee on Delmar or Pho Grand on Grand any day over Little Saigon.
Pros: Central West End spot
Cons: Food

The staff was very accomodating to a tired traveller arriving at their restaurant relatively late--not to mention one who had never had Vietnamese food before! The food was excellent--fairly simple fare, but well executed. I had the vegetarian spring rolls (not the crispy ones), which were very tasty, with a nice soy sauce dip. You could actually taste the raw vegetables! I also had the beef cubes with onions and pepper. This is a pretty simple dish, hard to mess up, but also one that not many places truly excel at. Little Saigon excels at it. The meat was very tasty on its own, but the sauce they had with it took it up to the next level. I even got out of there for around $25 for one!
Pros: Great food, friendly service
Cons: music not to my taste

A friend recommended LS to me after I complained loudly about the sparsity of decent, reasonably priced Asian food. It was much more convenient than Pho Grand in terms of location. However, the menu is small and to my chagrin, a bowl of pho cost $7. Definitely beyond "$" range IMO. When the meal came, my surprise was compounded by the tiny portions I was getting. Did I order a Happy Meal, because if they're going to give me a dinky bowl of pho for $7, I hope I'm also getting a toy.
Pros: Good location, friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere
Cons: Small servings, Overpriced

Great place! All of my friends that I have reccomended it to have loved it! The Chicken Curry is amazing! The Soups are a meal in themselves. The food is not too heavy and very healthy! Even my vegetarian friends leave satisfied!
Pros: location, inexpensive, ambience

Good food! I'm Vietnamese/Chinese and I'm really too pick about Asian restaurants, I hate buffets, etc... But this place serves Vietnamese food well! Prompt service, roomy, nice view and quick food (if you want it to be)!

I have never had a bad dinner here. The dishes are all very fresh and light... and taste great.... if you are looking for vietnamese food with less grease and lots of flavor... this is a good choice.
Pros: light, refreshing, flavorful

The spices are too mild and unathentic. It does not capture the essential flavor of vietnam. The atmosphere is nice and the service is good.
