I drive by this little local place often. Maybe it isn't a secret at all, maybe I just didn't know. Sunday afternoon, lazy day, cold, nice day for a ride. My wife and I like a few other assembly line Asian places in town but really felt like a bowl of soup and I LOVE crazy noodles. Haven't been here for YEARS, if ever? Great day to sit and talk with my wife over some good food, no rush, no one looking over your shoulder for the last chicken wing. What a great meal. We split the soup, took a little home. I ordered the mild crazy noodles, probably should have gotten medium. Added some sweet and heat from the table top sauces and was PERFECT to my taste. Mrs Pants had the Mongolian plate with beef. Also fresh, hot, outstanding. I would LIKE a little more beef in mine- but will give it a pass. The prices here are very reasonable and probably leading competitive venues. Service was great. Building is old but is remodeled inside, well maintained, clean and welcoming. Little Saigon is def back on my radar when I need a homemade quality Asian dish. What you get for the $$ = VALUE. All that and a fortune cookie at this place. Thank you to the staff. Well done. read more

Tucked away in the business district this was a gem. The food was fantastic. The service was efficient. Had a nice dinner

Always great tasting food and service. My favorite Thai restaurant in Springfield. Try any of their food and you will have a nice meal.

Portions are huge! We started with the crab rangoon and both had the Pho as our entrees. Neither of us could finish but the meals were flavorful and filling. read more

Food is always consistent here. You get nice portions for the price and always flavorful. We grabbed carryout tonight but have eaten in many times as well. They have great lunch specials I highly recommend. The food was ready super fast and always is even when they are busy. I will say my fried rice left something to be desired today. It was very bland and lacking and flavor. The vegetables were predominantly onions which is disappointing to not have much else and no flavor. Probably would not order again but will definitely be back for the other delicious food they offer. read more

The food here is fantastic. I've had curries and pad Thai dishes here, and I think they are the best around. The sweet staff is attentive and kind, and good with recommendations. Everything here is fast and fresh, and very flavorful. What's not to like? read more

Good food, although they needed to believe I could handle the spice when I asked for it spicy. Three slices of jalapeño was joy what I was expecting. Excellent and fast service as well. read more

I've been to nearly all Thai and Vietnamese restaurants in town, and so far, this is the only place I can find that makes a halfway decent panang curry. Though it is definitely above average for the area, I've been spoiled by living near many such restaurants around the country, so my expectations may be unrealistically high. Aside from good curry, they also have high-quality pho, which really hits the spot during those frigid winter months. read more

Nice dining experience. I have to say it was a very comfortable space. The service was excellent. The food was really good. I just got beef broccoli...I'm a simpleton that way when it comes to any type of Asian food. Thankfully the dish wasn't sweet like thai or other places other than just straight forward Chinese food. I would say it had a tiny bit of a sweet note but not nearly as bad as thai. I also got the fried dumplings....i wish they were fried (pan seared) only on the bottom. But they were still very good. Just prefer dumplings that are just pan seared. I'll be back for sure. Here working at the capitol north wing restoration. read more

great food and service. big menu so something for everyone! best basil chicken in town

The food was good! I'd rate it a 6.5-7 out of 10. The wings were flavorful and the sauce on them was unique. The fried rice was tasty, however the shrimp tasted like it had been cooked separately and tossed in after. One shrimp was sort of cold; however, the rice was good! The service was quick! read more

The wait staff was very kind and accommodating. The food was quite average to us, not meaning any disrespect, and no, we're not Phó snobs. However, we have eaten Phó all around the Midwest and a lot on the West Coast and in . The broth (Phó Saigon) was tasty but lacked the appropriate amount of meat. The egg rolls were ok, once again, underwhelming. Sorry only 3 plates for Little Saigon. read more

Great place to eat. We are always promptly seated. Wait staff us friendly and attentive. Food is always great.

We were passing through Springfield, IL to visit my daughter and we saw this establishment on Yelp. We saw the reviews and decided to stop in to try the place out. I had the Grilled Chicken, which was very moist and flavorful. The sunnyside egg that covered the chicken breast put it over the top. This is my new go to place whenever we are in Springfield. The restaurant has many healthy options and the staff is friendly and constantly sensitizing. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. This place should not be called, "little Saigon" This place should be called Asian fusion or Asian cuisine. If you are looking to eat Vietnamese food this is not the place for you! This restaurant takes the short cut and use pho broth powder with water and it is NOT AUTHENTIC pho! I can't even say the worst pho I have ever had because it's NOT EVEN PHO! The egg rolls are frozen and taste like FAST FOOD egg rolls! The crispy noodles had little to no noodles! The Com thịt nướng is the only decent thing because at least they can make rice! Not one person I spoke to spoke VIETNAMESE! They charged $12.95 for a bowl of pho that they made for $3.00!!! EVEN THE BEST PHO out there Texas, cali, other states are $10! There is Thai and Chinese food on the menu and this is called a Vietnamese and Thai restaurant. They should make this Chinese and Thai and take Vietnamese off! We Vietnamese people are proud of our food and this is a disgrace. I understand the concept of supporting local restaurants but this location is such a disappointment to the Vietnamese culture. I hope they change the name because THIS LOCATION IS HAS NO AUTHENTIC VIETNAMESE FOOD. Just because they are in a state with little to no Asians in the community you cannot fool Vietnamese people. I REPEAT THIS IS NOT VIETNAMESE FOOD! This is fast food asian (Chinese/Thai) food at best! read more

Excellent food, we'll prepared and presented. Wait staff very courteous and helpful. We will return. read more

Great spot! I wish this place was in Chicago. I had the best pad Thai ever! The Vietnamese crepe was top notch too. My absolute favorite was the pad Thai. If you are reading this review and you want to take something from it just remember these words....PAD THAI, pad Thai, pad Thai! Too bad grub hub won't travel 3 hours to deliver food. So I read a few negative reviews about the pad Thai. Not sure what's up but maybe they read what was written and changed. This pad Thai was like the best I've ever had. Just my opinion. read more

Great Bumi, spring rolls and even better fruit freezes! One of my favorite Thai places in town.

I was in the area and was excited to see so many & such good reviews for this restaurant, but personally coming from CA with an abundance of asian food the dishes did not hit the spot for me. The service was Polite and friendly, they would come check on us and she helped bag up the boxes I packed (personal preference to box food myself). Restaurant had about 3 rooms with circle cut out wall dividers was unique. Walking in my first whiff smelt a little of bathroom but once I walked pass the smell went away. My hubby told me it was the old building smell. I ordered the shrimp shumai appetizer which I saw a picture on yelp for. It was made of tiny shrimp and mostly whiteish meat. Reminded me of fish balls or frozen seafood balls. Texture was good crunchy deep fry but inside was softer. This came with a sweet and sour sauce I enjoyed. Pad se lew was flat noodles with broccoli egg and meat, not a lot of sauce and was my kids dish. Soldier of red sea seafood curry. I requested mild, but it definitely was not mild. I could see the broth was full of red pepper or spicy flakes. It came with about 3 shrimps couple mussels and baby scallops, baby carrots, basil, carrots, onions, mushrooms with a side of rice. The broth was ok not authentic thai food quality. Sesame chicken dish did not taste the way my husband was expecting. My experience in CA sesame chicken usually would be a sweet sauce similar to your typical sweet & sour or orange chicken style. This one was a deep fried crunchy chicken (the positive) but the sauce just wasn't as expected. Like the waitress told us when we asked if it was good, she said some people like it some people don't. Hubby didn't & I wish it wasn't as salty as it was. It was more savory than sweet which I was expecting. Dish was garnished with brocolli on the sides. Overall I was able to fill my extremely hungry stomach, but my hubby did Not think the food was good. I would agree the food was not authentic tasting for each of the cuisines offered (Chinese, Thai. Vietnamese, Signapore, Burma?) But I would say the food was edible if you are not familiar with the flavors of the various cuisines. read more

I have been here twice. The first time I had Crazy Noodles aka Drunken Noodles which We always order at Thai restaurant. Every Thai restaurant presents them differently. These were not memorable, but not bad. The chicken was ground which I presume makes preparation easier but does nothing for flavor and freshness. I also had spring rolls with peanut sauce but, again, not remarkable. Our second visit was better. Only downside was the egg drop soup which was warm, not hot. The basil chicken was spicy and flavorful. But, again, the chicken was ground. I really enjoy the atmosphere here. It is comfortable and clean. It also seems to be a popular place. Staff is friendly. Plenty of parking. read more

An unassuming place along a busy thoroughfare littered with strip shopping centers, Little Saigon could be easy to miss. Don't. With an almost overwhelmingly large menu of meal selections this is the place to find your favorite Asian dishes. It would also be a good place to take someone who thinks Thai and Vietnamese cooking is adventurous or exotic. Tell the staff what meat, seafood and veggies you want--and your level of pepper heat (or none)--and they'll match it to one of their dishes. Larger than it looks from the outside, Little Saigon can accommodate couples to large groups. read more

Little Saigon - Traveling busy and cluttered Wabash Street, don't miss Little Saigon. - Thai Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

We stumbled upon Little Saigon years ago while passing through Springfield on a road trip. Over the years, if we were remotely close to the area, we would make a detour to come here because we enjoyed the food and boba so much. Today we were traveling through the area so we made a stop for lunch...but this time we were deeply disappointed in literally everything. The Taro boba has always been my favorite, but after a couple of sips, I could not drink anymore. The summer rolls were mostly all head lettuce and very bland. Lastly, we ordered the chicken pad Thai and it didn't taste anything remotely to chicken pad Thai as it was covered in sweet & sour sauce. We let our waitress know that the food was NOT good and that I wanted to send my boba back. Because no one understood English, we were still charged for our uneaten food. I wish I would've remembered to snap a photo of our meal. It's a real shame that this business has gone downhill since the last time we visited. I will probably never go back. read more

Some things were good, while others weren't. The soups tasted so much like dish soup. White rice was dry, with the chicken being undercooked with blood still inside. The wait time was very long, and the servers were polite. It was loud all around with kids running around. The only thing I can say about the decorations were that they were interesting, to say the least. read more

Thank you Little Saigon for the friendly service and the amazing food! Everything looked and tasted delicious. I got the lunch special which came with a soup and an egg roll for a very fair price! The food came out pretty quick despite the restaurant being busy during lunch hours. Would definitely recommend people to come here and try it! read more

We were hungry and looked for a reasonably priced Asian restaurant, and we settled for Little Saigon. What a great choice it was! We've had Satay chicken, juicy and crusty to perfection, as appetizer and then picked Pho Saigon and Lo Main with veggies. Generous portions and great taste. They have a good selection of soups and some traditional Thai offerings like Pad Thai as well. Very well Prices and quick serviceI recommend. read more

My veggies were freezer burnt the noodles tasted old the wontons overcooked also tasted old. Won't be coming back.

WOW...what a great restaurant. I arrived to a great smelling entry...standing room wait as every seat was taken. After being seated... looking over the menu takes some time as it has quite the number of dishes. I settled upon the Tum Yum Goong soup which is a hot & sour soup with a unique sweet taste, with onion, cilantro, mushrooms, lemon grass, and shrimp. It is awesome. I also choose a shrimp and squid stir fry, with yellow and green onions. What an awesome meal, great service, nice atmosphere. Local family business...your neighbors and friends...give your support. read more

Do you love the nice crunch of al Dente broccoli, and the soft texture of rice noodles, the strong flavor or basil? Get the Crazy Noodles, they are Awesome! Good flavor and texture and reasonable price. ($8.95) It reminds me of what some other restaurants call Pad ki Mao. We also tried the Saigon Siumai. I personally enjoy steamed ones instead of the fried ones they served.. But for $3.75 I'll take it. read more

We have only been here one other time, years ago, but we were not disappointed either time. The waiter was attentive and helpful with our questions, the food was wonderful (and such big helpings), the only complaint was that it was a bit too warm in the building. The ambiance is nice, you can tell they've put in some effort to keep it modern. Did I mention the food? Because it was so good. read more

The wife is from Saigon, and she rarely gets treated to Vietnamese food now that we live in a cornfield, so I make every effort to take her to an underwhelming, hole-in-the-wall, Midwest place for Vietnamese food. But, Little Saigon knocked off her socks. She got the Saigon sampler, which is served on a platter big enough for four people, and she ate the whole thing. Highlights included chao tom, shrimp paste on sugar cane, which I've not seen at other restaurants. The crazy/drunken noodle was also exceptionally good. Not much else to say about an exceptional restaurant. Solid five stars thanks in no small part to the prices. Little Saigon is an unparalleled bargain and one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Illinois I've tasted so far. read more
