Editorial Review for Little Saigon Restaurant – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Area-Vietnamese residents and non-Vietnamese diners crowd this local favorite on busy Colonial Drive. The dining room--dominated by a tank packed with tropical fish--is an oasis of quiet even when it's full. Servers explain unfamiliar menu dishes and are good at steering novices away from acquired tastes. Most guests start with summer rolls and move on to traditional dishes, like rice vermicelli with grilled meats or a large bowl of pho. Save dessert for a sweet splurge elsewhere.

We have been going to Little Saigon for years. We have always loved their summer rolls and noodle dishes. The dishes have always been excellent. Great value for the dollar. Over the years the place had started to look a bit worn but those summer rolls and peanut sauce kept us coming back. They did spend some times updating the place and it is looking much better, however there are some matters that do concern me quite a bit regarding the cleanliness of the place. We had lunch there about 8 weeks ago and I remarked how the place seemed a little dirty. My husband did not really notice so I did not dwell. However, we went back yesterday and there is no mistaking the problems I saw. They had rust orange table clothes on the table. It does make the place look nicer but when I sat down I was disturbed by the chunks of food and stains on the table cloth. There is a glass top over the table cloth and then the sides hang down. So where they hang down touch your hands and clothes. That cloth had been there for multiple days. In addition, the top of the glass top was dirty and smeared and the little spoons in the pickled chile sauce had chunks of foreign matter on them that had obviously been there for some time. Our beloved summer rolls showed up at the table skinny and looking not much like their former selves. The staff was disinterested and we saw little of them. When I said something to the manager about the dirtiness of the table cloth as I was checking out, he said "yeah, okay" and went on having his conversation with work mates. There are many good options in this area working hard for your patronage. I would suggest trying some of them until this team works out some of its disinterest.
Pros: Reasonable Price
Cons: Disinterested Staff, Dirty Table Clothes and Top

I always go here for great pho. The food is very tasty and affordable. Don't expect great service, but let's be honest service usually isn't great a pho places anyways.
Pros: good food at affordable prices
Cons: need more staff during peak hours
