We love this place. I've had the salmon, pho, and the honey chicken. All of it soo good! Also, great ownership and always remember us.

To earn a 5 the business must wow me, I can't wait to tell my friends, must try. I support local family owned businesses and I'll likely be back to this one. I recommend checking out Little Saigon in downtown Nampa. Plenty of parking and easy access even though there was a park music festival nearby. The reason for a 3 is because I can't give 3.75 Ambience can't be rated... 7 pm on a Friday night we arrive enthusiastic to get out of the house and dine in. The dining room was closed since this business is ran by the father and son which makes "take out only" easier to manage. This was disappointing there was no indicator online or outside. Instead of walking away and choosing an establishment to dine in we ordered take out. My dish was EXCELLENT a definite 5 star! the meat was tender and wonderfully seasoned perfectly spicy! Spicy Beef - Bo Xao Xa Ot the son who took my order is the son and could tell I was struggling on a choice recommending this for me was On Point! The appetizers were delicious as well, highly recommend Crab Rangoon's and Cha Gio Vietnamese egg rolls! My dates entree lacked luster I dont recommend sweet and sour chicken. High quality chicken however the batter wasn't crunchy maybe because it was take out. Very sweet. Please support this local family owned business. Give accurate reviews that are easy for people to make decisions pretty sure I read a review for this establishment for traditional eggs rolls and hot mustard. This is a Vietnamese restaurant not Chinese or Thai. read more

I haven't been in Nampa in years. I was in the area for a doctor's appointment. I left Boise really early so it gave me a chance to find a bite to eat somewhere new. Little Saigon has been on my to go list for a while so today was a good day to try it out. The restaurant is located old Downtown Nampa. Such a cool vibe down here. I lived in Nampa a long time ago and never knew about this area. It was pretty cool to check out. It is different that this restaurant is surrounded by antique stores. I thought I was in the wrong building cause I all I saw were the small shops. But what a great way to work off your meal, go walk around the antique stores and check out their goods. The venue is small and intimate. There were a few guests eating and enjoying their food. I got sat at a bar table by the window. I wanted to try their pho here. It's almost mandatory to try pho at a Vietnamese joint. But I didn't want to be stuffed with rice noodles so I went with the tofu and mixed veggies. I was kinda surprised they didn't have a lunch menu but a dinner portion of tofu and veggies shouldn't be too filling. My tofu and veggies looked great! My veggies looked fresh. I got a few good sized chunks of tofu. I drizzled some Sriracha sauce and dug in. It was made super fresh! The brocolli was so hot when I took a bite of it. Stir fried cabbage will always be my favorite. The sauce was not too salty and had great flavor. My tofu was disappointing despite of how good everything else was. It was dry, hard and store bought. I have had similar tofu like this that I have purchased from the Asian market. As the main star of the dish, it was such a miss. Having fresh fried tofu would have made this dish amazing but overall it was still good. Service was decent. My food was dropped off and wasn't really checked up on till I was waiting for me bill. The veggies were fresh and you get a nice variety of them but the tofu could have been better. The venue is in a pretty cool location. There's a store that I really wanted to check out after lunch but they are only open Friday and Saturday. It's cool I got to check this joint out. Next time I'll have to check out the pho. But it was dope that I got to come in and support a local business today. read more

I want to gate keep this place because we love it so much but for that reason I must recommend it. You get authentic food for a reasonable price and it's always an experience regardless of if it's your first time or you are a regular. Little Saigon is a small business run by the owners and their son, and they are always accommodating and friendly. It's a small place but extremely cute and welcoming, and the vibes are immaculate every time. I'd recommend the traditional egg rolls, we get them every time we go! read more

This place used to be fantastic. The last time we went in, we were told we had to get our food to go "because the dining room was closing".. AT 5:30 PM.. when I asked why we were told that " they want to go home too..." um... ok... then don't be open for dinner at all? I don't understand why they had to be rude. They also no longer offer delivery for some reason which is super frustrating.. because I would order delivery. No longer recommend because they were rude and it's so hard to get in to sit down and eat. read more

The food is ok, the service is slow and the ambience is stressful.... I stopped coming to this spot, the owner is very rude, do not waste your time or money read more

This place needs a better rating!! It is absolutely delicious ! Amazing personal service and it's family owned! The food never disappoints I've been here over 20+ times And the food is always consistent ! Absolutely delicious and the staff is just the sweetest :,) definitely try it out of your looking for a good Vietnamese experience ! I get the pork and roll noodle bowl w a Thai tea it's the best read more

Service great. Server very informative. We had the pork noodle bowl. Lettuce, cilantro was a pleasant surprise. The eggrolls, pork, pickled vegetables were great. The sweet vinegar dressing and the chili paste if you want to add was a great touch! I recommend!! read more

Amazing food and customer service! They are always friendly, the inside is clean and relaxing. Perfect for a little date night.

Service was good. Food was okay. Got the Spicy Noodle BBH and a couple kid Phos. Kids pho did not come with veggie condiments so an extra $3.50 for some bean sprouts and basil and one jalepenao slice. 19.95 for a pho special, BBh was 17.95. Flavor was okay, not the best pho in the TV. The TV doesn't really have much good pho options so it gets the job done. Overall, flavor not great coupled by higher prices. The value isn't here. This is my second time here and I'll just have to pass from now on. Check out all my other pho reviews. Pretty sure I've tried them all now in and around Boise. read more

Little Saigon is the best pho in Idaho and also has many other excellent dishes on their menu as well as a friendly staff. Strongly recommend to anyone who appreciates quality Vietnamese food, they are as good as home made! Appreciate that their take out is a convenient option as well. read more

Food: amazing, go to Vietnamese restaurant, have tried multiple Vietnamese restaurants but little Saigon still holds the best in my opinion, I order the bun thit nuong cha gio, which is vermicelli noodles, cilantro, green onions, shredded lettuce, char grilled pork and fried spring rolls and lots of other yummy things, you put a sauce called fish sauce on top, which trust me, isn't fishy at all and you mix it around and it sits so refreshingly after eating it. I also like to get an appetizer of fresh spring rolls and fried rolls whenever I go but their other stuff is also very good! For picky eaters and people wanting to try new food I highly recommend. Service: always friendly, never a bad experience very kind people, family run, sit down hours I think are only till 5pm but you can still get takeout after those hours (: Ambiance: cozy, good for dates, family outings, or just casual eating! read more

It's never open for dining when it is posted as open. Take out food is very good, but don't tease your clientele with seated dining. read more

This place used to be my favorite place to eat, but now it's hard to get into anymore. It's not really worth the hassle to trying to squeeze in there very limited seating time. I would much rather go to Pho House in Meridian read more

This was probably some of the best Pho broth I've ever had! I was in the mood for some spring rolls and pho but I live in Kuna so not much is around me . My wife offered to make the drive and I'm so happy she did! The spring rolls were jam packed and the dipping sauce was amazing ! The pho broth was so clean and flavorful I was so in love from the first bite! My wife got the chicken fried rice and loved it I can't wait to make this my go to pho spot every time I get a craving ! read more

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, but they open for only few hours a day. I finally made it, I ordered fried calamari for appetizer, and some tofu and veggies as entree. The calamari was definitely not Vietnamese or anything Asian for that matter, the thick breading and the preparation is more like something out of Hooters menu. The tofu and veggies were ok. Overall the food was unconvincing. I have to mention the young lady serving the food, absolutely delightful. read more

Little Saigon - Tofu & veggies, and fried calamari - Vietnamese Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

Saddest and driest spring rolls I have ever had. The roll only consisted of one piece of dried pork and vermicelli. No cilantro, lime, carrots, radish. Disappointing. The Pho was good but nothing to write home about. The service was friendly enough, just wish the food was better especially with the price that was paid for the rolls. read more

Came for the first time today and WOW this place is amazing. We ordered all vegetarian dishes, and when ordering the Pho, our waiter specifically mentioned the broth was a beef broth, which we greatly appreciated. We instead ordered the tofu curry and it was outstanding. The flavors of the dishes as well as the service deserve 5 stars for sure. Casual and cozy setting. Will definitely be returning!! read more

I love this place! The service is always so great and welcoming & the food never disappoints! Every time we visit we order the spring rolls and summer rolls. It's the best in the treasure valley! For entrees we always order the pho (chicken and special), the fried rice, the house noodle, & Thai tea or the Thai coffee. I've tried other places similar within the Nampa area specifically but Little Saigon is our families favorite!! read more

If you are ever in the area for Vietnamese food, then definitely give Little Saigon a try! This place is one of the local favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Nampa and one of my families' favorites. The staff is always friendly and inviting! The service is always fast and the food is always hot and fresh! The takeout is very convenient for any of their foods. The Pho here is great tasting too! read more

Food was Amazing, everything was just like we like it , impeccable service ... love the seating arrangement, very Quant !!! We will return!!! read more

Wonderful service but food was subpar. The pho had no flavor. The spicy beef soup noodles were spaghetti noodles not spicy and the meat left a bad after taste. The service is the only reason this is getting 2 stars otherwise it would be 1 star read more

Great Vietnamese food! The pho was on point and the apps were delicious too. I'll be back

Highly recommend! This is one of my favorite places in the Nampa area. Cozy, good food, and wonderful customer service!

I tried Little Saigon with some friends for lunch. Food was very good, service was great and very friendly. I will be back and am willing to recommend this restaurant to others. read more

I've driven past some many time but never stopped it for a bowl of Pho'. Boy was I happy when it came out pipping hot and oh so darn good. The place is clean and their service is fantastic. Best Pho' if had since relocating to Idaho. I've tried a few spots but this is now my go-to joint. read more

Worst takeout I've had in a really long time. I had the "beef and vegetables" first red flag was the smell. It wasn't a bad smell just seemed off. The beef was terrible and the entire entree was just unappetizing. The fried rice was a joke. Bare minimum no seasoning very bland. I don't like giving bad reviews but this food was actually bad. read more

Best Vietnamese food in all of Idaho! We especially love their chicken and broccoli and their grilled chicken with pickled veggies. So good! Service is always fantastic and all the employees are incredibly kind. read more

Spicy beef was absolutely amazing! Perfect flavor alone, there was no need to add the hoisin/Siracha/soy sauce. The deep fried egg rolls were also so delicious and perfect amount for an appetizer for 2 people. The customer service was above and beyond. The waiter we had was attentive, friendly and polite. 5 of 5 stars, highly recommend this place. read more

Best Phō & service always the fresh spring rolls are always amazing and of course they have a great selection of beverages

Love their food! Always fast and friendly! The pho is wonderful! Love the spring rolls! read more

A little non-descript and doesn't really stick out, but this little place was a good find. I kinda looks like it used to be a Northwest themed cafe. We seated ourselves and it wasnt too long before the waitress came to hand us a menu and take our drink order. We got the egg rolls and the combo Phó. The egg rolls came with a nicely balanced sauce that wasnt sticky and gooey, so that was nice. They tasted great. The Pho was really great, but if I had something to complain about, I would say it wasnt quite hot enough and the meat was a bit sparse. All in all, seasoned with the sides and some hoisin sauce, it leveled out to a fresh and tasty menu. We split a bowl and it was a perfect portion for two. I'll come back for my Phó needs. It is way easier than the drive to Boise, and there are some other things I want to try. It was worth the visit. read more

Little Saigon - Adventures in Phó - Vietnamese Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

Pho...Nampa...Yummm! As you approach the restaurant, don't let the modest entrance scare you away. The restaurant is nothing special and the service is nothing to get excited about either but was friendly. When you enter, you can grab your own table which is nice. I stopped by for lunch to grab some Pho. The Pho arrived within 10 minutes of ordering which of great while on a lunch break. The hot bowl of goodness arrived with the standard lime, sprouts, jalapenos, and basil. I did miss having the cilantro other restaurants provide. The broth was nicely balanced with no sign of sweetness added. The lean sliced off meat were cooked upon arrival and worked well with the broth. I would highly reccomend this place for a tasty bowl of pho to anybody in the neighborhood. Cheers Always! read more

My new favorite Vietnamese soup restaurant in Boise ... is in Nampa. A friend recommended Little Saigon, which I had not heard of before. I like pho, but it has become the quintessential Vietnamese food that people are most familiar with. There are many other Vietnamese dishes that are worth exploring, too. In the soup department, I much prefer bun bo Hue. It features a rich broth made from pork and beef bones and also features beef slices, shrimp paste, lemongrass and annatto. Then it's finished tableside with Thai basil leaves, bean sprouts, sliced peppers and a wedge of lime. The best I've had comes from a southeast Portland restaurant that shares the soup's name. They also add cubes of congealed pork blood, which lets you know it's the real deal. My go-to place in Boise used to be Pho Tam on Orchard Street, but it closed last year after failing to bounce back from instances of food poisoning. Still, their version paled in comparison to the Portland version. Little Saigon's bun bo Hue falls in-between. It's a step up from Pho Tam's version and is quite good. The staff is friendly and service is quick. I came in just before noon on a Saturday, with one couple already seated. While I was there, tables filled up quickly. The clientele included young couples, families and a couple of tables of seniors. It made me happy to see such a varied group of people enjoying a cuisine that isn't as well known locally as other Asian cuisines. read more

Tried the pho. Pretty average in taste and pricey for the portion. Asked the kid for the fatty oil broth and he said they don't have that. Odd considering the fatty oil is naturally occurring in pho broth. read more

I am giving 2 stars because the service was great. The pho was terrible though. It tasted like it had over-reduced for several hours. We diluted the leftovers by 50% with water and it was still too salty. And we like salty! read more

Service was pleasant, but the food was not that great. Could be what I ordered, but this just seemed like very processed food.

Quaint little restaurant located among a few antique shops. Since moving to the Treasure Valley a couple years ago I've been looking for a good Pho restaurant. I've visited several and so far this one tops the list. I ordered the Chicken/Pork/Shrimp Pho with clear noodles and a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Very attentive and friendly service. I was seated immediately. The wait time for my order was reasonable. The coffee was good. As soon as my bowl of Pho was delivered I was immediately taken back since the bowl was half empty (or half full if you prefer). For $13.95 on a bowl of noodle soup I expected more. The broth was very good. There was only 1 1/2 shrimp and just a few pieces of chicken and pork. I would've loved to give them 5 stars but simply can't because the portion size was too small especially for the price. The taste was right on point though. I'll be back but my search for the best Pho in the area will continue. read more
