“ Little Saigon is unbelievable place. It is located 2 blocks from the busy Grant Ave, surrounded by non-descript biz'es. The inside is small and cramped with customers, some with families. Is this emulation of an actual Saigon eatery? Don't expect ambience other than the staff's hospitality. But everything else is amazing. First the smell of wok-fried food permeated the whole place. People were happily chowing down the food. The menu is impressively long, listing many popular dishes in Vietnam, thai, and chinese food. The waitress told us the chef was established in Saigon before coming here. The vietnamese deep fried tofu was very tasty, crispy and unoily, served with tangy sauce. The Pad thai shrimp noodle was the best I ever tasted. There were shrimp, fried bean curd, egg, bean sprout & peanuts. The mildly spicy sauce brought out more flavor. The beef combo noodle soup was so-so, mainly due to some tough chewy beef. Otherwise the soup base was tasty. Closed after 8 pm (5 on Sat). ”
