I stopped by for a quick bowl of pho, and I'm surprised how good it was for a college town. The broth was really good, clear and savory. I also got the fried egg rolls and those were good too! Next time I'm in Lawrence, I'm going to stop by again! read more

Little Saigon Cafe - Combination Pho and Fried Egg Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Service was good but food was not good. Curry rice was really dry. Egg rolls was hard and dumplings were not very good. Will not go back.

Still the best pho ever!! And the best spring rolls w/ peanut sauce! I will stop here every single time I am in Lawrence. The owners are so sweet and attentive and always remember me and my order and this little restaurant is a little hole in the wall but DAMN the best food and service!! read more

I'd review this place 10 times over if I could. First time in and we will definitely be back regularly, especially with the weather getting colder. I didn't see online ordering so I stopped in to see if I could get it to go. The couple working in there were so sweet. We had to wait in the car for about 10 minutes before they called to say the food was ready. They had a line out the door, so I was surprised with how quick they were getting food out. We got the egg rolls, beef pho & meatball pho. Broth was clear, noodles cooked perfectly, and the flavor was on point. They gave us plenty of sauces to add in as well. The egg rolls were also 10/10. Unfortunately they were out of the summer rolls for the night, but those are next on my list to try. Don't be deterred by its quaint size. It's a classic mom & pop shop and exactly the type of place I love to support. Definitely give it a try!! read more

A Homey food experience! This restaurant offers a pleasant dining experience. The open kitchen provides you with a glimpse of how the food in front of was made. This also plays into the fresh made to order experience. I had a very satisfying beef pho and an equally delicious chicken fried rice dish. The owners offered some water as I waited and were very welcoming. I finished my visit with some Thai tea. Excellent! Would definitely recommend! read more

Not very clean food was not that great would be embarrassed to take somebody there. The owner was wearing a filthy shirt. would be surprised if they would pass a food inspection. read more

The food was quick, and it tasted quite good. The only downside I have to mention is that the noodles could be longer, but apart from that, the broth was excellent. read more

A Lawrence gem! Absolutely delicious chicken and veggie pho. The veggie + tofu pho does not skimp on the vegetable & tofu. Takeout comes thoughtfully packed, with the noodles and broth in separate containers, along with the fresh bean sprouts, etc, on the side. Reasonable pricing for everything, especially considering the generous portion sizes. Also love the summer rolls, shrimp fried rice, and drunken noodles. The owners/service have always been kind, prompt, and helpful! read more

My friend and I had an awesome time trying out Little Saigon. We came in a little hungover and the pho combats alcohol well. The service was really good and so was the food. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some comfort asian food. read more

Delicious, reasonably-priced food in this little hole-in-the-wall. Service was friendly even though the only two people working were slammed up until closing time. They have a large and diverse menu for such a small place, and I look forward to trying many dishes here! read more

The food here is amazing. I could eat their chicken pho every day. Their staff is wonderful and are always kind and helpful. It is a smaller restaurant so I generally do takeout, but there are a couple tables. read more

The best Pad Thai in Lawrence. Best Pho I've ever had in my entire life, but wanted to try something different this particular visit. We also got the Sliced Beef Egg Drop Soup alongside Crab Rangoon and Fried Gyoza. The service is impeccable and being able to watch the magic happen because of the kitchen is really special. The ambience of Little Saigon is nothing but comforting and welcoming. read more

Little Saigon Cafe - 17. Pad Thai, 21. Sliced Beef with Egg Noodle Soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Amazing! The absolute best pho in town! While you're there try the dumpling and crab Rangoon, delicious & affordable!

This is a hidden gem in Lawrence that you must try if you love Vietnamese food. It's definitely a hole-in-the-wall but the flavor does not fall short. The vibe is cozy and quaint with the staff being extra welcoming as well. Overall the restaurant seats about 30 people so be prepared to wait for Sesti in if you go during busy hours. The food is amazing! Very authentic and flavorful. The menu is also huge with a wide variety of vegetarian options. I highly recommend the chicken pho, pad Thai and crab rangoons. The portion sizes are also huge so you can share between two people or save leftovers for later. I will definitely be returning to LSC! read more

What great food at reasonable prices! A cafe that is absolutely wonderful! We will drive the 90 miles for this cafe! read more

Steve & Anna are great hosts. You feel like dining at a family member's house. Food is great and I was in a rush, but they were so accommodating for my to-go request. Even at last minute, I asked for Thai tea and it was provided in a jiffy. Would love to get to know them more next time I could sit down and enjoy their famous pho. Surely I will be back again. read more

Absolutely delicious pho and bun bowls. The taste and quality brought me back to my experiences in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The food is fresh, bright, and flavorful. If you are seeking a delicious change from fast food and the usual fare of sandwich shops, this is the restaurant to meet that need. Never boring, Little Saigon Cafe is a brilliant gem that can's be missed! read more

I decided to try this place out as I had a craving for Pho. I looked at the google reviews for this place and saw it had good ones. So I placed an order for pickup. When I got my food which was a large chicken pho and chicken fried rice. I saw the packages were small, but thought okay maybe the toppings for the pho in one of the small containers. I get home and opened up Everything to o pool it it together, explain to me why they put all the broth chicken and toppings in one small container and my noodles were in a styrofoam cup and they were over cooked. I was very disappointed and they did not give me any jalapeños or cilantro in the broth. I wasted $30 and the fried rice was also over cooked. This was by far the worst pho I ever had. Do not eat here if you have high expectations of pho. read more

This place was really small and you can miss it if you don't know the area. I'd say there was probably enough room for 20 people. It was me and two friends and luckily there was one table available. I ordered a #7 pho tai ($7.07 total) and sat down. It was only a few minutes before our food was ready. The pho here was okay at best because the broth didn't have that much flavor. In addition, the meat was a little overcooked unlike most places where you'd have to soak the raw meat in the hot broth. I'm from the Bay Area so I've had a lot of pho in the past and I know when something is off about the pho. For what it's worth, the pho was good for the area considering there weren't a lot of other pho places around Lawrence, KS. read more

Little Saigon Cafe - 11. Chicken Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Generous portions and terrific pho broth -- really hit the spot. We had initially gone in for Bánh mì, but ended up getting both Szechuan-style bean curd (very spicy -- just right!) and big bowls of steaming pho instead. The owners, Anna and Steve, couldn't have been more polite. We're seldom in "Larry Town," but really enjoyed our last meal here in this delightful little hole in the wall. Yum! read more

The best Vietnamese food ever. Ann the owner and her husband they treat me really nice and others too.. read more

Little Saigon Cafe - Raw beef Pho.. Really delicious - Vietnamese Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Finally made it over here and now I have to figure out delivery. Top five Asian places for us. Best Singapore noodles in town. Spicy and full of flavor. We got these large so we had some to take home. The Pho is a delicious comfort Pho. At another place in town, it's more complicated, comes with add-ins, etc. This is more like a chicken noodle soup version of Pho. Broth is savory. Beef and meatballs were good. Next time I have a cold, I'm ordering this, though I won't wait until then! I want to try the other meats too. Also had them Vietnamese egg rolls and the dumplings. Both were good and worth ordering. In general it's not a fancy place but it is cozy and clean. The owner is very friendly, helps with the menu if you need it. She boxed up our leftovers for us. They do a lot of take out and delivery. Menu is pretty big. Looking forward to trying some other items. read more

Best food in Lawrence, I go all the time. The pad Thai is is always a lovely spice filled and the pho meat is always tender.

This is (as far as I can tell) the only place to get authentic pho in Lawrence. It's a tiny little place but the food is good and flavorful. I usually get the beef pho with steak and brisket. Very tasty and the owners are nice people. read more

Great little local pho spot, great broth, always fresh. The fried rice is also delicious!

The food is great, always super friendly staff and you never have a long wait time! Their safety precautions towards covid 19 are amazing and I wish other places would be as thoughtful as they have been. (Try the lemongrass stir fry chicken, it's wonderful!!) read more

My friend and I were stopping in Lawrence for a little day trip and decided to try a new place. It's literally the BEST Vietnamese restaurant that I've found. The employees are so friendly, addressing regulars by their first names, and the whole environment is so homey and so wonderful. The food was top tier and prices are SO reasonable. I paid for both our lunches & an appetizer for $28. Such a cute little place and so authentic. I will for sure be coming back. read more

Love this place! Pho is so good, and the service is always amazing even when they are slammed.

Craving some Pho on a rainy day and happened to be in Lawrence. Found this little dive and am not disappointed. The spring rolls were, as my daughter said, "fire flame",the large beef pho bowls were bomb.com. It's a small shop with limited seating and the sweetest lady taking your order. I will be back for sure. read more
