We met friends for dinner at Little Saigon. The place was fairly crowded considering it was a Monday evening. After reviewing the menu we decided on Lemongrass chicken with vegetables, beef with vegetables, beef vermicelli, and shrimp vermicelli. Service is always fast here. I ordered the lemongrass chicken. It is pretty spicy. The flavoring was really nice with a fish sauce in it. It was probably spicier than I wanted. Think I'll go back to my noodle order next time. It was good to try something different though. I would give my dish four stars. Otherwise everything else gets five stars. Free street parking outside. read more

Overall This experience was very frustrating from start to finish and made the entire meal feel unpleasant. The restaurant seems to charge for every little thing and the staff is slow and forgetful. Having to get up so many times just to remind them about our order is simply not acceptable. I really hope things improve, especially for long time customers who have supported this place for years Ambience The ambience was very cute and charming. The space feels inviting and has a pleasant atmosphere. Food The food was good. We ordered the catfish spring rolls and they were delicious once everything finally made it to the table. Service The service was the biggest issue and it was very disappointing, especially since my family has been coming here for 3 years. Parts of our order were missing, including several side dishes and even the sauce for the spring rolls. We asked for a cup of ice and that was missing too. We waited about 10 minutes after receiving the catfish before the vegetables were brought out and we had to keep asking for simple items. It's a shame because things taste best when the food is still hot, but the catfish was already cold once they brought out all the small dishes that came with the main dish. Because the staff was moving so slowly, we ended up walking to the counter (6 times) just to follow up on things that should have been brought to us without asking. It honestly felt like we were serving ourselves. There should be no excuse why service was so slow because there's two waitress and only one other table. The Vietnamese coffee tasted sickly sweet and burnt. After taking one sip, I asked to switch to a Thai tea, hoping it would be better, but that drink was also extremely sickenly sweet. I returned it after one sip as well. I was surprised to see that I was charged for both drinks and was told it was because I drank them, which did not feel fair at all. They even charged us for the lemon slices. read more

3.5 Ventured here for dinner on a Saturday night. Wasn't really busy but we sat in the entry way for a good 10 mins before someone finally came out to seat us. It's in an old house so it really felt like you were having dinner at a relatives house. They have a large menu and good variety of choices. We ordered: Spring rolls: very good. Freshly made to order. Pork was well marinated in lemongrass. Egg rolls: on the smaller side but made it easier to eat. Served with lettuce and herbs. Very good. Banh xeo: almost identical to my moms. Just wish it was more crispy. Beef pho: served HOT which I appreciate. broth was very clear and lacked much flavor. Noodles were overcooked and mushy. Little beef. Just okay. Loaded with msg. Because I could feel it after eating. Complaints are: Everything came out at one time. Service was very slow. Only two people working from what I could see. I feel we spent more time waiting for our check than we did eating. But I would go back to try other dishes. read more

We stopped in after walking around downtown, a great little house converted into a restaurant. We tried two of the middle salads, the beef and shrimp pho, and the potstickers. Everything had layers of flavor but the potstickers were by far the winner of the meal. They were almost like Vietnamese pierogi. We will 100% be back! read more

I did not expect to be able to find good Vietnamese food in Phoenix. Boy was I proved wrong. Everything was excellent with very fresh vegetables and perfect balance of spices. Not too oily and very flavorful. For our non-adventurous eater, we were able to get a beef stir-fry with veggies. The rest of us loved the cumin spiced fish specialty dish, spring rolls (excellent), pork belly, and the crepe was delicious as well. Finally, the service was excellent. The ambiance was classy (great place to take your mom!). Nice clean bathrooms and a not too bright lighting. So all in all a very pleasant experience. read more

All these years later and still just as amazing. We came for an early dinner and were pleasantly surprised or be seated right away.

Service was great and we had no issues at all. read more

I love the ambiance of this place. I made a slight change to my Springfield roll order, no problem. The food arrived at the table pretty quickly, considering the account of customers. I will definitely visit again soon! The restaurant can accommodate large groups. Great place for date night. There's outdoor/indoor seating available. Accessible parking and entrance. read more

What a charming little Vietnamese restaurant @littlesaigonaz inside of an old house in historic downtown Glendale @historicdowntownglendale . With several different rooms tucked away throughout the restaurant, we were given a sense of privacy and intimacy. There's a large patio out front under a huge, old tree that I would love to sit under when the weather is cooler to watch shoppers walk by on the quiet downtown street. At night, the exterior and patio are lit up with colorful Christmas lights for a warm, welcoming feel. My daughter and Hubs came by last week for dinner after acupuncture across the street and came home raving about the delicious spicy chicken dish and pho. We all wanted to return this Wednesday and try dinner. The service was extremely attentive and friendly. We were sat at a large round table in the main room near the register. We ordered: - 03. CARI GA coconut curry chicken with potatoes, carrots & onions - 04. GÀ XÀO THẬP CẨM CAY spicy chicken stir-fried with mixed vegetables - D11. BO CUON LÁ NHO marinated beef wrapped in grape leaves with roll-it-yourself rice paper - R1. BÚN THỊT HEO NƯỚNG grilled pork Vermicelli Salad Bowl, add egg roll - P4. PHỞ TÁI BÒ VIÊN sliced beef & beef meatballs Pho x2 - TRÀ NÓNG hot jasmine tea for 2 - TRÀ THAI Thai tea My daughter really loved their Thai tea. Hubs and my other daughter said the pho was outstanding last night. I enjoyed every bite of my chicken curry dish with a side of veggies subbed for rice. It was spicy and flavorful, but not so much that I couldn't handle it and the vegetables were steamed just right. I was definitely sweating at the end of the meal in a good way. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious and authentic the dishes were. We were on a road trip from California (where there are plentiful GOOD Asian restaurants) so I was apprehensive of having Vietnamese food in Arizona. But, we were hungry and tired and decided to stop here. The menu was extensive and the restaurant was quaint. I ordered the Goi Ga, Hu tieu Ap Chao, and Bo La lop/nho (uncommon dish to find in many viet restaurants and usually made for parties at home) and each dish was tasty with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend this place! read more

OMG!! How long does it take to make Pho soup??? We've been waiting over 1 hour now and prepaid for the soup. This service is terrible.! Will never come back to this restaurant again. No need to reply. read more

Great service from San the moment we walked in. A very cute, homey and clean establishment tucked in Downtown Glendale. San took great care of us and we were ultimately happy with our meal! We ordered the beef pho and it was flavorful and came out quickly. I had a small issue with the lemongrass chicken but Kathy took care of it and was so sweet and helpful! Will for sure come again. read more

Little Saigon - Third room in the back quiet and private for lunch - Vietnamese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

First time here and was pleasantly surprised. The pho took a little linger to get than most other places, or perhaps they were waiting for us to eat our appetizer. 1. The meat was not as plentiful as the majority of other pho places which was a little disappointing, however, 2. The pho broth was obviously home made with live, not a bullion based pho. Although it could have used more star anise IMO. 3, the place while small as most pho places are, it didn't feel that way. I did NOT feel like i was elbows touching other dinners as many other pho places are. As a bigger woman i did NoT feel like i had to squeeze by other tables. 4. The staff were very pleasant and we did not have to wait for refills. And they handled special requests such as no onion garnishes on my soup were pleasantly handled. Even when I asked for a teaspoon of their spring roll sauce so that I could see what it was like for next time they had no problems with. It was a little dark, but I was still able to read the menu. And the darkness was actually comforting after being out in the Phoenix Sun. 5. The music was a nice level, we could talk across the table and NOT feel like we had to yell. I would suggest to the owners to either get rid of or take care of your fish tank better. I felt bad for the 1-2 fish inside it. The water was cloudy and probably needed a water change or the filtration changed out. And the inside glass needed cleaning for beginning of algae. It could have been a nice feature, but instead looks like a neglected decor afterthought. 6. I would come here again, especially if you want a sit down experience, or are brining guests and you wont feel rushed. read more

So good! Everything from the service to the food was amazing. I got the house combination fried rice, and as someone who loooooves fried rice, this hit the spot. Great proportions too. My husband got the stir fry and cleaned his whole plate. Not to mention how adorable this place is. We live 45min away but I can't wait to go back. Would make a special trip just for that. read more

A delightful little hidden gem in downtown Glendale! We went on a Saturday at 1 PM and got right in with no wait. We had the rice noodle salad with shrimp and it was incredible! The shrimp was seasoned and cooked perfectly, the dressing that went over the noodle salad was fresh and bright, and you could add a little spice with the chili, which made it perfect! Highly highly recommend it was super delicious read more

What a great spot! I came here with my coworkers and I was excited to eat Vietnamese food - I haven't had pho in a while. Although the menu was large and they had a lot to offer, I ordered the Chicken Pho and asked about the broth, which is beef. Our waiter shared he could also use chicken broth, so I opted for that even though beef is okay with me (just not pork). They do offer a vegan bowl and vegan broth which is accommodating. My bowl was large and plentiful. I received the plate of topping prior to the bowl which included the standard basil, cilantro, bean sprouts, sliced jalapeños, and lime. Everything was delicious! I finished my pho and was not overly full, which was good. My lunch companions all seemed to enjoy their dishes as well, as they ordered rice vermicelli bowls with shrimp and tofu, tofu curry and plates, spicy chicken, and spring rolls. Service was efficient and friendly considering our large group, which is always appreciated. I love the atmosphere here of an older, cozy house and there's a nice patio and plants outside for when the weather is cooler. I'd like to come back and try some additional menu items! read more

Little Saigon - Pho Ga (Chicken Pho) - Vietnamese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Tried this place Saturday night and it did not disappoint. For the appetizer we ordered the spring rolls. I like that they include veggies on the side, so you can wrap it with lettuce and cucumber. For the entree, I had the chicken curry with white rice. My favorite part was the carrots, they were so delicious. The sauce was thick and flavorful. The entire meal was a 5/5. There was no wait when we arrived at 7:30pm. The server was very friendly and prompt. Having the restaurant inside of a house makes it feels homey. Downtown Glendale is full of little gems. read more

The options are limited but different than you might find which is why we tried it. Id like to try more of the menu but will probably just order to go. They were not busy but we still waited over 15 minutes and no one greeted us. Inside it was uncomfortably warm which made it difficult to enjoy the food. By the time we were served we were ready to just get out of there. Dining will likely be more comfortable in the fall and winter since it's an older building but they also don't allow seating on the patio which is a waste because it's actually really nice and covered by trees. They have a lot of potential but it's not really being used. Id love to see this place better managed and made to be more comfortable and inviting. read more

let's just say i love this place so much!!! me and my friend come here often to eat their pho and potstickers and let's just say the atmosphere and everything makes the food 10x times better. ( the food is bomb it's self but yk i love the ambiance.) but i hope me and my friend continue to come here because even the waiters are so sweet . read more

Went here after my daughter's game, and wow--I can see why this place has such high reviews! The food was absolutely delicious--one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to in a long time. My wife and daughters all enjoyed their meals. We loved the variety of seafood, chicken, and beef options. My daughter ordered the beef pho, and it was fantastic. Great food, great experience--we're already looking forward to coming back soon! read more

Their pho is very good and I can't get enough of the potstickers ! I have been twice in the last two weeks and definitely plan on returning soon. -1 only because they have Mr.Pibb rather than Dr.Pepper. Very cozy place, can't wait for it to get chilly to enjoy even more. read more

First time here, I did takeout. But next time I'll definitely dine in! The outside area has a great ambiance/atmosphere. They were kind, quick and food was good!

And while waiting for my food I observed good service and customer care. read more

Been out in AZ for over a year now and have been on the hunt for authentic VIETNAMESE food and this is pretty LEGIT! It's a bit of a drive for us but don't mind if food is good. Very cuute place that appears to be a traditional home made into a cozy restaurant. Restaurant was clean and it wasn't too busy for a Saturday afternoon . We were quickly greeted by a very sweet young lady who said we could sit anywhere we liked, we chose a quiet room off to the side. Decided to start off with egg rolls and viet coffee . To our surprise, both very good and fresh! I went with a beef pho and hubby went with lemon grass pork with vermicelli ..We were very satisfied with our dishes as this is as close as it gets to homemade VIET dishes as we can get! Quality, Freshness, Authenticity, and Yumminess spot on Only wished there were more herbs provided for pho and rice noodle wasn't overcooked. Other than that the broth was very delicious! We will def be frequent customers!! So glad we came across you on YELP! We inhaled our dishes so no pics avail read more

Good food with decent service I had the pho and I am not a pho nor soup fan. I actually quite enjoyed it. I do still prefer ramen but this was really flavorful. They give you a plateful of veggies you can put in your soup, i recommend adding it as soon as the soup arrives so it can cook a lil bit. There is also hoisin sauce and siracha on the table if you want a sweetness or spiciness to it. read more

Came for lunch on Thursday at 11:30am. Been quite awhile since I've been here last so I needed to fix that. We were the only patrons so we were immediately seated. Quick glance at the menu and went with the Egg Rolls, Pho Ap Chao, and the Caramelized Catfish. Flipping delicious! Every dish was fricking good! My favorite was the catfish! Wanted to lick the claypot clean just to give an idea. Food came out quickly and service was good. They are consistent with food quality and service. Definitely recommend! read more

Just came to visit AZ and wanted some Vietnamese food and found this place in downtown Glendale. The staff was really nice and very surprisingly the food came out so fast! The spring roll was good but the wrap was a little on the tougher side. The vermicelli pork bowl was pretty good and the portion was pretty big as well. The chicken pho was okay. The noodles could have been better but overall a pretty good Asian/ Vietnamese place to come in the area! read more
