5 Stars for Gigo’s Cafe & Deli in Chinatown
The pho here is outstanding and one of the best in LA. The broth is rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite feels comforting and authentic.
Free parking is available in the lot next door as long as you are eating at Gigo’s Cafe & Deli. See photo to locate the parking lot before you go.
This is a family-owned spot with heart, and it deserves your support. If you want great pho in Chinatown, I highly recommend Gigo’s Cafe & Deli.

I had some extremely tender and delicious pork chops.

I’ve been to a lot of pho restaurants in LA and I can say this restaurant serves the best pho broth I’ve ever tasted. My girlfriend, who ordered the Pho Tai, affectionately described it as “a hug for your stomach.” It is truly comforting not just because of the taste but also because of the service from the sweet family that runs this shop.
Although it fronts the crowded line of shops on Broadway in Chinatown, when you sit down and eat here, you forget you’re on a busy street. The food carries the familiar comforts of home cooking and each dish is prepared with care. Definitely try the pho but the vermicelli is also excellent. I had the #40 with charbroiled pork and egg roll.
Also they have free parking in the back!!

The best spring roll I ever tasted in my life. Compared to others

Ordered the vermicelli salad with pork and egg roll to go. It’s not authentic to me as a Vietnamese person. The meat is not grilled or charbroiled and is rather soft like how Chinese meat is from a Chinese spot. It’s decent thus giving it a 3/5

I’ve been coming here for about 10years now. From my middle school, high-school, and now college. The lady that I think owns the store. Such a lovely lady. She knows us now that we come way too often. The food is really good. The environment is very chill and light. Overall amazing place

The shrimp spring rolls and Vietnamese iced coffee was so good!
Pros: free parking, pleasant dining, reasonable prices (we're in it to win it, uno), all entrees, specials and appetizers are delicious and healthier than big burger, fried crazy chicken and bloaty the pizza hog. The pho essence lies within its deeply flavored and scented broth. flat rice noodles are slightly chewy and super silky.

The best soup (pho) I have ever had! I'm from Switzerland, and while on holiday in Chinatown, I saw this random restaurant and, just by intuition, decided to walk in. I immediately felt the good vibes and knew they knew exactly what they were doing. I was right! The soup was cooked al dente, the meat was so tasty and fresh, and the soup was perfectly seasoned. They also gave me fresh herbs to complement the dish. The price was incredibly low for the quality and amount of food they offered. I had two coconuts to drink, and they were the freshest and best coconuts I have ever had. Man, I hope I can come back once in my life. If I were to die tomorrow, I would visit this place again. No joke ???

They don't have a culture for tourists, you have to speak a language that they "like" or they end up ignoring you, fortunately the food is good, the atmosphere is average especially because in the bathroom you don't feel like doing anything!

Charbroiled chicken Ban Mi, good bread crunchy on the outside and moist inside. Chicken was lacking flavor and parts were tough to chew. Took 20 mins to get 1 sandwich to go.
