Little Saigon

When it is cold, nothing beats a bowl of phở. Phở is the remedy for all range of feelings: hangovers, homesick, heart broken, joyous celebration… or just plain hungry! For me, that day I was looking for something that could fulfill my craving: wonton soup. So I settled for their Combination Wonton Soup. Tender balls of meat, wrapped in thin, delicate wonton wrappers. Mmmmm… the soup was very tasty and the wontons were plentiful and scrumptious. The bowl of soup also had a few large pieces of shrimps and slices of Asian style BBQ pork to round out the bowl. The added diced green scallion brought out a delicious aroma!
For the appetizers, we ordered an order of their crispy Vietnamese egg rolls/​spring rolls and an order of their fresh summer rolls (goi cuon). If you’re a fan of the traditional summer rolls, you should try their grilled pork summer rolls. You wouldn’t regret it. :)

My husband and I happened upon this little spot. I hadn’t had Phở Ga in years so it touched my belly strings. The ambiance is nice and relaxing. The foods was delish although I would have preferred the option of large or small bowl and white versus dark meat chicken like some of the Vietnamese restaurants in New Orleans.

This is my favorite place to eat phở in Baton Rouge. Family operated and they are super friendly. The service is better that the other 5 phở restaurants I’ve been to, and that’s a lot. They just opened up a location on chimes street next to LSU, so if you eat phở at drunken fish, re-​evaluat yourself and upgrade your life. Little Saigon is the best.

It feels like I personally know the owners there. I frequent both locations on Florida and Chimes & the quality is just as great at each one! The owners are hard working people with children trying to make a living. I truly appreciate them bringing FRESH, quality Vietnamese food to Baton Rouge!!!

OMG! First time eating Vietnamese food! And this was sooooooo good! Will definitely be back! I would definitely recommend this place!

This is where I first tried phở, and it was the best decision ever! The owner is so nice she greets everyone with a smile as soon as you walk in. The phở broth is the most flavorful in the city and everything is always fresh! My go-​to Vietnamese spot in BR!

Best Vietnamese place to go. I’ve been going to Little Saigon since they’ve opened at the other location, and now this location. Me and my older siblings are in the military, so when we go home my whole family comes here to eat. We ordered 5 bowls of Mí Thap Cam which is rice egg noodle soup, 2 Com Tam Thit Nuong which is a grilled pork chop and rice dish, and a plate of fried rice. Everything came out within 10 minutes and food was delicious. Ate All of it. The staff was friendly and family run. No one can beat the staff, food, and service.

We stop here often, when in Baton Rouge. This is in my opinion the best Vietnamese Resturant in Baton Rouge. So far all of the phở has been great. Today I had number 24, (that’s how I order). It is amazing. It uses a pork broth instead of beef. And cilantro instead Of basil. They also put these little fried pork pieces, that stay crunchy, and are very delicious. All I can say is wow, what combo. Don’t miss out. Stop in and enjoy!

Little Saigon is just like the other Vietnamese restaurants around Sherwood Forest and Florida Boulevard, except that they seem to give you a lot of meat. I’m giving them five stars because of this. It’s clean and the service is quick. I wouldn’t say it’s better than any other Vietnamese place, but it seems like you get more for the same price.

Our family eats here often because the food is so good. The phở is delicious. It’s a new treat for me.
Having grown up in Sherwood I’m glad that this hard working business owner is in the area. Go patronize this place. It’s worth it!

They didn’t have veggie phở on the menu, but they were able to substitute broccoli and carrots for the beef… the broth was still beef but that was okay with me as I am not a devout vegetarian… with that being said the food was very good and I was pleased to see that they are still serving limes despite the shortage… lemons in my phở is just unnatural: P

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in town. In my opinion, they have the best phở of all the places in town. Their Vietnamese eggrolls are awesome too. Friendly, though sometimes slow, service.

My son and I were trying to find a good restaurant to eat at for lunch. We decided that Little Saigon looked like a good place to eat. The food here was delicious. The portions were very large for a really good price. We plan to go back soon. I would highly recommend this establishment.

My cousin took me here to get her favorite, the Spring Rolls with NO pork, just shrimp. I didn’t know what to expect honestly, but I knew she wouldn’t let me eat just ANYTHING.
When we walked in, we got our orders to go, the server he was playing the guitar, teaching himself, but when we were ready to order, he had an attitude as if WE were bothering HIM. We paid him no never mind and he took our order of course.
The Spring Rolls came out fresh and were packed with big pieces of fresh shrimp. I wasn’t expecting them to be cold, but I liked the taste. The crunch of the lettuce mixed with the spice and sweet of dipping the roll in the peanut sauce and the siracha was so good. These rolls were so good, I ate them the next day. I saw people ordering the noodle bowls as well, I’ll get that when i make a visit to Baton Rouge again.
Hint: The Spring Rolls come in orders of 4, they’re huge, like an egg roll, you can definitely split with someone

best vietnamese food I have had in a long time. phở is incredible

After being out of state, I returned back to Little Saigon to get my regular bun thit dish. Still as good as ever. I haven’t found any other restaurant that can top this place.

Unfortunately, Little Saigon seems to have gotten a lot worse since they moved and reopened. They used to be the best vietnamese restaurant in town, and I had been meaning to stop in and try them since they reopened. Yesterday offered me that chance, so I took it. I was in a bit of a hurry so I just ordered two banh mi to go. The total was $ 7, which is the higher end of what you expect to pay for 2 banh mi, though not entirely unreasonable. That is, it wouldn’t be entirely unreasonable if they were a bit bigger. After about a 10 minute wait they brought out probably the 2 smallest banh mi I have ever seen. Not only were they small, but they were entirely lacking in fillings. The roast pork one hardly had any pork in it at all; it was mostly bread. One limp bit of cilantro wound its way through the mostly deserted roll. The combination one was better in terms of fillings, but still far from ideal. The worst crime though, is that the rolls were not the crusty, flaky texture that you expect in a good banh mi. No, these rolls were more along the lines of the «stale as fuck» texture. I’m fairly certain they sat out uncovered for a day or two, because I could barely bite into them. Perhaps I’m slightly biased now after my recent visit to Tan Dinh on the westbank, but I see no reason why the banh mi there are cheaper, twice the size, and loaded with fillings, while little saigon offers these sandwiches so pitiful it is insulting. Unfortunately, it seems the best banh mi in town are the pre-​packed ones you can pick up from the counter at saigon hong kong market if you get there before they sell out. I used to like the noodle bowls at little saigon, but I won’t be coming back to try them out. I feel totally ripped off, and Saigon Noodle across the street has really good ones, so that is where I will be going from now on.

They’re back and just as great. Located across Florida Blvd from their old location, the new and improved Little Saigon is back to being the spot for spring rolls, banh mi, and phở.
