Nothing like some hot soup on a chilly 2C morning. I normally order delivery but was in the area and stepped in for a bite. The broth is well put together and the noodles had good mouthfeel. The portions were very generous. read more

At the PNE for one of the Summer Night Concerts and looking for a place outside the PNE to eat. We parked several blocks west on Hastings and had a chance to look at the many dining options in the area while walking to the PNE. Stopped at Le Petit Saigon and glad we did. I opted for the rare beef pho and this was another good choice. I liked the broth and there was so much sliced beef. And there was no issue with the service. It was a positive food experience and happy to recommend Le Petit Saigon for pho. read more

Le Petit Saigon - Rare beef pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I really wanted to like this place but something killed the vibe for us. The smell. The outside of the restaurant smells like delicious grilled meat. The inside of the restaurant smelled like toilet cleaner or a washroom mop. Not sure what it was but it filled the entire restaurant. We originally picked a seat but had to move as far away from the bathroom as possible, it was better but it's not to say the smell wasn't still strong from where we sat. We would have left had we not been so hungry. The service was nice and they checked in on us. They answered the questions we had. Decent amount of seating. lemongrass and grilled pork rice was decent. Both chicken and pork were tender although didn't have the strong grilled flavour some other Vietnamese restaurants have. I enjoyed the broth it came with and the rice was good. Special beef pho. Not bad. Standard. Meat was good. No complaints. Jackfruit smoothie. Very good. Refreshing. Tasty. Prices were decent but I don't think I'd come back if the smell is still there. It's quite a turn off when you're hungry and you have to sniff a toilet bowl while eating. I think it would be in their best interest if they chose a different cleaner, used less of it, or had better airflow. read more

We started with two types of spring rolls (the #2 and another one I don't remember), neither of which were particularly interesting. My entree was the #61, Lemongrass Chicken and BBQ Minced Pork with Rice. (I had originally requested the #64, but was steered away from that as not being to Western tastes.) This too was uninteresting, particularly the BBQ Minced Pork, which was chopped meat formed around a skewer. I tasted my wife's pho, the broth was quite good. Service was fair. read more

Haven't been here in awhile and won't be back anytime soon. The restaurant was dirty and had a weird smell. Pho: msg-filled broth and the noodles were overcooked and soggy. Grilled meat on rice: my husband ordered this and the meat had a lot of flavour. Portion was decent, I ended up eating part of this instead of my pho. Service could've been better, we waited awhile before the server came to take our order, and the restaurant wasn't even busy. I asked for hot tea and the server said ok, but that never came. read more

It's been a minute since I've last eaten here in person. Thanks to an event at the PNE, I came back here again with a friend. Super casual and unpretentious ~ just how I like it They never disappoint with their great staff, fresh delicious food and good portions. I ESPECIALLY wanted to say a MAJOR thanks for allowing me to substitute the vermicelli with bean sprouts instead! Super helpful for those needing to reduce the carbs. Thanks so much!

I hadn't been here in years and it still has good value food that's delicious! We came here at round 7 pm on a week day and there was a lineup. It was worth the wait. Food: 4/5 - we all ordered different vermicelli dishes. The spring rolls are a must order. They give you good portions of food. There are both vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Service: 3/5 - they were too busy to be attentive Ambiance- 4/5 - nice decor. A great place to dine near the PNE. Parking - free street parking after 6 pm read more

A great place for Vietnamese food in the Hastings area. I decided to get the lemongrass chicken pho and found that the chicken was a bit chewy but did find the broth quite flavourful. They did have lots of space for seating. Overall a decent spot for Vietnamese food if you're in the neighbourhood. read more

Walked by Le Petit Saigon several times and noticed they seem to be quite popular. They're located next door to High Point - Beer Wine Spirits. We dropped in on a Saturday (around noon). People eat quickly here and it seems to be a popular destination for solo diners. Service was decent but we had to ask for a pot of tea and flag them down for refills. There's a TV that was playing NCAA football. Menu is split into appetizers, house special, noodle soups, vermicelli, rice and a few special dishes (only offered after 3:00pm). They offer bo 3 mon ($39.95), which is a rarity in town (only seen this dish offered at two other Vietnamese spots). - Goi cuon chay (#2B) ($7.50 for 2) - veggie salad rolls (consisted of a massive amount of shredded carrot and lettuce). Meh. - Ga nuong cuon (#5B) ($8.50 for 2) - lemongrass chicken salad roll. This were the better of the two. - Herbs - basil, bean sprouts, lime wedge and hot peppers. Very small portion. - Pho dac biet (#15) ($13.50 large) - the rare beef slices cooked incredibly quick so beware or else they will overcook. Best was the beef brisket which managed to stay tender. Broth was decent but nothing to make it stand out. - Bun mo chai, sate, la lot (#53) ($15.00) - we ordered this for the la lot but unfortunately, all of the beef sausages were a touch dry and slightly too chewy. The vermicelli was very plain; would have been better if they had brought out a side of nuoc mam. LPS is competent but doesn't have anything making me want to come back for more. read more

We were craving some Vietnamese food and decided to stop here on our way to the PNE. Ambience was ok, we sat at a window seat and there were a number of flies along the bottom. Everything else appeared to be clean. Menu was great, lots of options and good pricing (similar to other Vietnamese places we have eaten at). It's along Hastings so we parked on the street up a block. Service was quick, we were greeted promptly and our food came out very fast, almost too fast. I ordered the lemongrass chicken with noodles. I also ordered a side of spring rolls. The chicken was disappointing. It lacked flavour, had alot of fat (thighs were used and not trimmed of excess fat). And it was dry, now it's pretty hard to make a chicken thigh dry so my only conclusion is that they precooked it and then reheat. Hence the fact it came out within less than 10 min. Spring roll was good but that's about it. read more

Unassuming from the outside, Le Petit Saigon is serving up some good pho and other Vietnamese fare in a clean and comfortable space. This place isn't gonna wow you with over the top decor or fancy cutlery, but it sure did provide us each with hot bowls of pho at a reasonable price. The broth was tasty and the noodles were cooked well and served with some springiness in the bite which is just the way I like it. In addition, we also got some spring rolls and I was pumped to see that they were made using rice paper wrappers and not the other egg wrappers. With Bao Chau no longer around, these springs rolls were the next best thing. Not quite as large, but certainly full of flavour and a crispy, but light texture. The quality of service was a bonus. The food came out fast and waters were topped up frequently. Overall, I was very pleased with our visit and am very likely to return. read more

Friendly and fast service at a place that's usually quite busy. The food is quite good too.

Nothing to say here that hasn't already been said! Good service and very quick with food coming out. Portions are a good size for the price, and flavours are on par with most Vietnamese places in Vancouver. Their rice plates are quite big, a lot of rice, but definitely bang for your buck. The meat in the pho dac biet was a little less tender and flavourful than others I've had, but there was a sizeable amount of meat, so can't complain too much. BBH broth was quite good, stronger lemongrass flavour. The 3 colour bean drink was also quite good, I thought it was the perfect sweetness. The restaurant seems to be pretty quiet, even at 6 PM on a Saturday, but it's still a solid place. If you're in the area looking for Viet food, this is a solid pick. read more

Great food selection. Quick and friendly staff. Renovated and clean interior. Their bun Bo hue really it the spot! Food came out in 5 mins. My new go to pho place! read more

Le Petit Saigon - Bun Bo hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Variety: huge like any Vietnamese restaurant. More interesting than your typical pho place Food: so so good. Spring rolls: large and crispy, filling was delicious Combo 10: omg, delicious. A lot of meat, and it was all perfectly cooked and tender. The salad roll was very fresh tasting. Spicy beef and hue ham: way too spicy but I should have expected based on the name Rare beef noodle: we ordered takeout and it was actually still rare. Unexpected and awesome. Great soup Value: we barely finished one dish between two of us, so we had leftovers for days Would eat again: yes but not the beef and hue ham, too spicy. read more

the crispy spring rolls and tangy dipping sauce were extremely delicious!! but the grilled lemongrass chicken had soggy skin, no lemongrass flavour and forgettable vermicelli. the dip was great, but couldn't save this dish. the service is good, friendly and helpful. the thing I hated the most were the annoying fruit flies that kept swarming our food during the whole meal...gross! it wrecked the dining experience for me and my friends. read more

There was no wait time when we came in and the restaurant was clean and we were seated quickly. We ordered pho and you can see the difference between the large and small size in the photo. The food came out quickly and the portions for the pho was generous and the price was very reasonable as well. The rare beef and brisket were nice and tender. The one negative thing was that the soup base was quite salty. This was my first time here so I am not sure if it was just a salty batch. read more

I stopped in for a quick dinner during the evening around 6pm, and the place was empty but was filling a lot of takeout orders. They have a vegetarian (vegan) pho ($11 plus tax), so that's what I ordered, along with a vegetarian salad roll ($3.75 plus tax). Everything came within 10 minutes. The salad roll was alright -- not the most inventive filling, just the standard iceberg lettuce, vermicelli and some tofu; the peanut dipping sauce was nice. The veggie pho came with a solid broth--a little oily but not too salty. You get a generous portion of noodles, mixed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots), and tofu puffs. Competent but fairly ordinary insofar as Vancouver's veggie offerings. Solid place but not a standout in town. read more

Good Vietnamese spot. Hav a different varieties of foods. There's only about 5 parking in the back.

I used to come here about a decade ago for the pho but haven't eaten the other meals here. I've been missing out. #68 - chicken lemongrass with egg added was amazing! Huge portion - it had two tenderized breasts of chicken and a salad and rice #43 - some pork vermicelli bowl that I barely got a taste of because my bf hogged it all and is now deeming it his new favourite meal which is mildly insulting towards my home cooking #7 - bbq pork skewers. So tasty and well presented! The portion is big enough to share This is one of my only posts here without pics, it was literally impossible to take photos because when the food arrived we attacked it Sooo good. They have take out and are open until 10pm! read more

A home-y spot down East Hastings before the PNE that has surprisingly nice decorations for the price of the menu. A nice store front counter, tables, front painting, and even five chandeliers! I was quickly seated and hadn't order taken. I ordered the House Special #10 ($14.50) which was surprisingly large plate which came with three "meat sticks", two sweet sauces, an assortment of veggies, and two shrimp salad rolls. Usually I'm not too impressed by Vietnamese restaurants with huge menus with a bunch of cheap options, but I think this house special was impressive enough. The meat sticks each had their own flavor, the veggies went well with the sauces, the noodles filled me up, and the shrimp rolls didn't taste cheap. I entered not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised with service, the interior, and the dish. I was gonna give this place a 4, HOWEVER, I stepped into the washroom and was quite unimpressed. Was definitely not comfortable touching stuff in there. With a bit more cleaning up I'd bump the score up, but I'll give this place a strong 3/5. If only I didn't have to go pee :/ read more

I've never ventured further than Bao Chau when I'm around the area, but I'm loving Le Petit Saigon. This pho restaurant is quite clean, food is presented nicely and service was excellent. I've tried their pho with rare steak, beef brisket and tendon, the springrolls, salad rolls and salty lemon/plum drink. All were excellent, prepared with care and reasonable portions. Did I mention, they accept credit cards and their service was great? Adding to my list of Pho joints! *note - they have tons of high chairs if you want to bring your kids read more

So many "pho" restaurants to choose from, especially around the vicinity of the Renfrew-Hastings area, and yet this is another one that sticks out in the crowded Vietnamese cuisine. I remember coming here when they first opened, as my mother was the one who dragged me out to eat one night, and I was impressed by the food. The one thing that they have variety on is platters of meat. If your out with a group and want something of variety, come here, and order acouple platters to share with your crew, your stomachs will be satisfied for sure. If you decide to just order a bowl of 'pho' they have all the regular's that your accoustomed to. The soup is a little sweeter than other places, you might not be used to this after your first spoonful, but after eating acouple bites you will enjoy it. You will also enjoy the fact that this place is real clean, and not your 'hole-in-the-wall' joint's around the city. The tables are nicely laid out, with good space to the next table so you never feel congested. They are not cash only, as they take all the plastic you have. There is pretty good parking around the area, and also a couple parking stalls in the back (I was able to park here during the PNE to eat!). There is one more thing that I must add that I found really interesting, when I went to pay for the bill at the main bar/till, that really surprised me, I saw print outs of reviews of their own restaurant, not of newspaper articles, but from this faithful site. Yes, Yelp reviews, that's a first for me, obviously this place looks at what, we, the normal consumer have to say! read more

Le Petit Saigon - A bowl of: no meat, just vegetable PHO. - Vietnamese Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I honestly think i just keep ordering the wrong thing. i got the beef and chicken salad rolls and half way through the first one, realized i don't really like salad rolls...but then it was just too hot of a day for a bowl of steam hot pho. The rolls were lacking in the protein area with just a sliver of beef or chicken in each one but there were more veggies than I expected. Another good thing is that their sauce doesn't have peanuts (when requested) so I actually had something to dip it in! Everything else that my huge group of friends ordered looked delicious though so maybe that warrants another return! Especially because the service was very friendly on a busy pre-concert night. They did forget a few of our table's dishes but they were very apologetic about it! read more

Wow, super impressed. Seriously, this place does not disappoint. Comfort food on a cold, wet, gloomy day. There's nothing better! And this place hits all the right notes. You can't wrong. It's so underrated and deserves more praise. This may be a controversial statement but I think this place taste better than many of the Viet restaurants in Socal! Food was so good. We had the seafood egg noodle soup and the plain pho no meat. Both broths were spot on! Like the pho didn't even need the hoisin sauce. It was excellent without it and we didn't wanna mess w it. Totally exceeded our expectations. Absolutely delicious. Also, the lychee drink was so refreshing. Def hit this place up! It's worth it. We will be returning for sure. read more

Considering the number of pho restaurants in and around Vancouver, this one is pretty average. The spring rolls are crispy and delicious, but their pho broth is not particularly flavourful and their meat is nothing to write home about. The restaurant itself and service were fine, but there's nothing about this restaurant that particularly attracts me to come back. read more

Le Petit Saigon is located East Hasting and Kaslo Street. We wanted to try it out when we passed by every time. We finally made it on weekend. When we walked in at 12ish Sunday, they're so busy already. I found the place quite comfortable and spacious just a bit old-fashioned. The food was good and the service was friendly and efficient. Spring rolls were crispy and greasy, pho soup based just a bit light and bland. Another good thing to le Petit, they have free parking at the back. read more

We used to love this place until quality of vegetables with our Pho suddenly dipped on our last order for take out. Obviously Rotten broccoli and cauliflower. Maybe because it was a Sunday night? Unfortunate, we might try one more time in a month or two but they really blew it. read more

Had lunch with 3 others. I ordered a spring roll and a shrimp salad roll. The salad roll was made fresh; I asked for no ham and the shrimp were huge and plentiful. Both rolls were delicious. The peanut sauce was a little less flavourful than I am used to but adequate. The jasmine tea was the best I've had in a long time. My friends ordered pho, spring rolls and lemongrass chicken over vermicelli and everyone thought the food was delicious. Prices for a good lunch were excellent. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The climate is low key, no pressure. We brought a birthday cake and strawberries with us for dessert and there was no issues at all. I look forward to returning the next time I am thinking about Vietnamese food for lunch or dinner. read more

What can I say about Le Petit Saigon??? Hum.. this is a Vietnamese restaurant and is located at Hastings and Slocan beside of Starbucks and High Point. The place is nice with good service, if you have any question just ask for help. But actually, the menu has some photos to help as well. I kind like this place to eat soup and some veggies, unfortunately I didn't find a lot of options with fried noddles, just few. But all good. For appetizers I liked the shrimp salad roll with peanut butter sauce and for eat I liked the fried noddles with chicken. There some options with spring rolls that looks so good too. Something that I need to do is, try the dessert, I couldn't eat. I hope you like this place guys... thank you read more

Ordered delivery through skip the dishes to get a snack (turned out to be more like a meal with plenty of leftovers). We got our food pretty fast. The lemongrass chicken was a pretty good portion and comes with rice and some salad. The chicken was moist and flavourful. I also wanted to try one of their house specials which was minced shrimp wrapped in sugar cane, grilled beef, shrimp salad roll, and bbq minced pork. All this was accompanied with vermicelli, some lettuce, and pickled veggies. It had a nice variety of items and the salad roll was a generous portion. The shrimp was probably my favourite. The last time I had this somewhere else, the sugar cane was quite tough, but this sugar cane was softer and easier to chew to get the sweetness. Overall, the food was pretty good and prices were reasonable. read more

Came here just before the Lauryn Hill concert. It was busy however they only had 1 server but it was still quick. Had the grilled beef and spring roll vermicelli. YUMMY!!! The beef was soft and tender. The spring roll had a good crispy outside, not oily, and the inside was delicious. Usually when I leave this place, I don't feel thirsty like some other places. If this is what authentic should be, then i don't know what other places are doing. One thing I noticed is that they don't use broken rice anymore, but regular rice. My friend ordered the rice dish and we noticed this. It's a little disappointing to not have the usual broken rice but it was still good. If you're in the neighbourhood, I recommend stopping by for a bite. read more

Came here after spending a day at Playland since it's close by. Although a hole in the wall, the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Service was great as well -- our water was constantly refilled and staff were very friendly. I ordered a large Special Beef Noodle Soup Pho ($9.50) and NW got a large Grilled Chicken Noodle Soup Pho ($9.25). It came out piping hot, which was great. We both loved what we got. The noodles were cooked well and the servings were reasonable. We noticed that the broth tasted different compared to other pho joints. YUM! It was slightly sweet here and less salty. Maybe this is what authentic pho is like! It was delicious without being too oily, nor did we feel the need to drink copious amounts of water after dining here. It was definitely much cleaner tasting and more refined. NW especially loved the grilled chicken in his pho, although he was slightly peeved by the bones of the chicken. Definitely stop by if you're in the area. I'm glad I discovered this little gem. Overall, it's more like 4.5* for me but since it's now my favourite pho place I've rounded up :) They also accept credit card unlike other places that are cash only so that's another plus! read more
