New Little Saigon 2

This is a hidden gem! It really doesn’t look like much outside, I was kind of hesitant. But it’s rated well so I thought I’d give it a try. Oh my gosh, it’s excellent! They were playing an informational video on how food is made in Vietnam that was fun. I had the vermicelli, and it was *so good*- the noodles were hot, the sauce was sweet and peanut-y, and there were lots of vegetables! My friend had the lo mien and hers was excellent as well. Clean and nice inside, the owner was courteous and smiling, wanted to make sure the food was to our satisfaction. Great place!

The restaurant was freezing. They have nice TVs and good seating. But the cold was so uncomfortable. The cucumber on my plate was starting to go bad. And all soggy and floppy. The rice was hard chewy. The crispy shrimp was all batter and very thin shrimp.

Food: I placed an order for the chicken phó and a side of rice. Both dishes were flavorful; however, I wished there had been a bit more chicken in the phó. While I appreciated the ample noodles provided, I had requested additional vegetables, yet it appeared that only the standard portion was included. I am uncertain if this is the usual serving size, but regardless, the chicken phó accompanied by rice was quite delicious. Service: Upon our arrival, we noticed other patrons dining, yet the service we received was both welcoming and efficient. We were able to place our orders immediately, and when we inquired about specific menu items, the staff member at the front was more than willing to address all of our questions, especially considering it was our first visit to this establishment. Our food arrived at the table within approximately 10 to 15 minutes, which I found to be quite prompt, particularly given the presence of other diners. It is always a delight to experience a relaxed atmosphere while ordering, and I applaud the staff for their excellent service.! Atmosphere: The restaurant's atmosphere and overall vibe were quite standard. Having visited a range of dining establishments, from family-friendly to luxurious, I can assert that this venue leans towards a more family-oriented experience. The environment was exceptionally welcoming and friendly. Notably, we arrived about an hour before closing, and we never felt rushed, which is a refreshing change from other restaurants that often exhibit impatience as they near closing time. I do have a minor suggestion regarding the television; another group at the restaurant had the remote control, which was not a significant issue, as they were gracious enough to let us change the channel. However, the remote was frequently dropped by children, leading to some disorder. While this did not impact our meal or the atmosphere, I would recommend that the remote control be managed by the staff to ensure a more controlled environment. Menu: This restaurant offered a wide array of options, ranging from sandwiches to soups and beyond. As I previously mentioned in this review, while the menu presented numerous choices, I would have preferred the opportunity to sit down and peruse a physical menu upon arrival. Instead, we were directed immediately to order from a digital menu displayed at the entrance. Although this is not a significant issue, I believe that being seated at a table and having access to a physical menu would have created a more relaxed atmosphere for placing our orders. This preference does not detract from the quality of the food, but the immediate need to order upon entering created a sense of urgency. I suggest that the availability of physical menus could positively influence the likelihood of returning customers. Presentation: I have previously expressed my belief that there is a notable difference in expectations between family-oriented dining establishments and those that are considered high-end. This restaurant, recognized for its superb food and service, tends to cater more to a family-friendly atmosphere. I would like to elaborate further on this matter. The presentation of the meals we received was consistent with our expectations for this type of restaurant. Even though it does not qualify as a luxury dining venue, I am convinced that presentation plays a vital role in the dining experience, and the team here has mastered this aspect. It is not necessary to adopt an extravagant style for the menu items; the food not only looks appealing but also tastes exceptional. I would like to express my appreciation to the chef or owner for their commitment to creating a well-thought-out menu and for executing the presentation with such skill ! Thank you Seasonality: I must express that the taste and seasoning of the food we were served during our visit were exceptional. The flavors were delightful, perfectly balanced without being overly seasoned or bland. I extend my sincere gratitude to both the owner and the chef for providing such remarkable cuisine.

Tried this place for the first time and was very impressed! We got potstickers, rangoons, pork egg rolls, and the combination pho. I did takeout via doordash and did have to wait a few mins for my food after arriving, but it was fresh and the staff was friendly. Inside was nothing to write home about, but still seemed clean. The appetizers were tasty, had unique sauces and were decently priced. The pho broth had very good flavor and the meat was tender. I wish there was a bit more meat for a “large” sized pho but it was plenty for me and my boyfriend to share. I enjoyed this place and would defintley go back!

I was just really craving a spring roll, but didn't want to go far, and found this place. It was a little hole in the wall, but often times those are the best places. So I gave it a shot. I wasn't disappointed. The food was fresh and yummy. The service was really good. I'll definitely be back with the family. Can't wait to try more of their dishes.
