Little Saigon

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 teaMy 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.

We met friends for dinner at Little Saigon. It is a bit of a drive and worth it! Always a nice treat to be here and our friends like it just as much as we do. It was fairly crowded for a Wednesday evening. We had R1, R3, R6 and N3. Three bun dishe; one with grilled pork, another with grilled shrimp and finally diced pork egg rolls. My dish was a seafood with pork slices noodle soup. The pork went immediately into hubby's bowl. Their food is always on point. Very delicious with good service. Free street parking and Cox WiFi for subscribers.

Best Gyoza dumplings. I surmise these are actual made at the restaurant.Some of the best I have ever tasted. Good service, can be slow at usual peak times.Pho was decent, no complaints , I prefer meatballs to be char broiled, which is not the case on their menu.

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!

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!

Food is awesome and cheap :) ive come here almost 4 times and it is great. Service is good and it feels like you are visiting someone's home.

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!

Good food with decent serviceI 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.

This place is a little hidden gem! In town and pulled up Yelp and was luck to come upon this little jewel. It's tucked off a side street in old town Glendale. From what I saw it's street parking only.It's a small building with twinkle lights and a cute front patio that I found endearing. Walking in you were hit with a delicious smell of spices and we knew we were in for a treat. We were seated immediately in a side room with 2 other couples and given menus.We did have to wait a few minutes for someone to return...not sure if it was because they were busy or something else, but once we ordered everything came quickly. Honestly, I can say these were the best spring rolls I've ever had! The pork that was inside was super flavorful and the rest of the ingredients were fresh and crunchy. I immediately regretted not ordering more. After that, it was on to our pho. Really amazing broth and great chicken. Honestly? Top 3 phos I've ever had!Definitely want to return next time I'm in town!

Small business with delicious food! The pho, spring rolls and the vegan curry are go to orders whenever we are anywhere near!
