Little Saigon Cafe

It's been a while since I've been here, and a few things have changed. They took out the fish tanks, which used to be the only real drawback of going here. More elbow room and less fishy smell. They updated the menus to fit on two pages. There is only one size bowl now. And updated prices. 2 everythings are about $30. More expensive, but still really tasty.One new drawback now is ordering at the register. I guess that's gotten popular everywhere, but seems like pointlessly following a trend when ordering worked just fine the old way. And a ding on service. One of the staff asked us if we wanted waters, then never brought them. Sort of a bad compromise between the old full-service dining and the new post-covid way of being "efficient" with fewer staff. Some of the competition on this side of town has gone away over the past couple of years, so this is still my favorite for the area. But there are definitely a couple of 5 star options available if you're near Southside.

Very casual family run restaurant serving Vietnamese fare in a comfortable setting. We enjoyed spring rolls stuffed with shrimp and pork that were larger than what we are used to seeing in big city spots and phò with mixed cuts of beef in a flavorful and aromatic broth with vermicelli noodles with cilantro, basil, alfalfa sprouts and jalapeños to add some heat. All in all a nice experience with personal service from the proprietor to answer any questions about the menu. We had some leftover noodles and took home a container of the tasty broth to add to noodles for lunch the next day.Twice is nice!

New ownership? This place use to be my go to spot for some delicious and affordable pho. Ever since the renovation, the price has gone up and the taste has changed (not a fan). I don't see the same people who have been working there, so I'm assuming there was a change in ownership. Reason why I'm giving the 2 star is the price and flavor. There is no change in quality so I don't see any justification. I wouldn't mind the price increase if it tasted good either, it's a bummer that they took away my favorite pho place.

I come here every time I'm on this side of the river, I walk in and nobody I recognize is there. The entire staff is gone, and the man says he is the new owner. The old menu is gone, and I only came here for the Korean short ribs!!!! those were the best short ribs in town!!!! I'm so sad, its all gone. I loved walking in and having the bros in the back wave me down and have half my order cooked before I even got my glass of water. This place really was like family. LEON!!!!!! avocado boba!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a very awkward lunch place. it was VERY hot inside and that just makes everything uncomfortable anyway. The guy taking orders was very grumpy and had an angry look on his face the entire time. (I have RBF, this guy was just mad). The pho took forever to come out and when it did it was pretty meh.

My Door Dash experience usually takes much longer than most. I go from the DD app to my YELP app because I need to do my research always. I had them book marked so I didn't have to do much before I started my order. The Fresh Shrimp Spring-roll with the peanut sauce is something I will order alone (two orders) at every Vietnamese restaurant! The rice paper didn't stay together, the peanut sauce didn't soothe me, the crab ragons were the worst I've ever seen so you know they tasted the worst as well, the spring rolls were alright but I don't remember the taste because I only took a bite and I didn't even eat the steamed potstickers. (That sentence run on is real)!!

Wonderful food, good people and good atmosphere. Seems to be under new ownership. The food was excellent quality, and got to the table fast and I got a really good Boba. The restaurant atmosphere looks nice too. quiet and comfortable. If I had thought about reviewing before eating my food, I would've taken some pictures but the food didn't last long. I ate it way too quick! Outstanding meal!

Yummy. Not the prettiest place but dang good Pho. Tucked into a little strip mall. It's always the "hole in the walls" that have the best tasting food.

Out of the 40 or so times I've been here, the food NEVER came out like this, and I'm severely disappointed. Service was confusing, and the restaurant itself on the inside looked a bit beat up. This House Deluxe Vermicelli platter should've come with Beef, Chicken, and Shrimp, and this had pork on it. The egg roll and the noodles themselves seem like the only thing that was right on it. I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was an off day but this just hurts because this place used to be so good.

Customers be aware, due to the recent change of management, they are not currently accepting online orders via this app. I placed an order online and when I got there to pick it up, I was informed that they do not accept online orders via Yelp, only DoorDash and UberEats. The new manager insisted the former owner still operates this page and is somehow still accepting payment for no product/services rendered.
