I haven't been here for four years. I went there yesterday and the taste was okay. The rice noodles were a little lacking and the beef soup seemed to have added MSG.

Pho Little Saigon is a cozy spot for a hearty winter lunch. Their large pho bowl of PHỞ BÒ VIÊN TÁI (beef balls and rare steak), paired with a Soda Chanh, is a perfect combo. The broth is rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying, while the portions offer an excellent meat-to-noodle ratio, ensuring every bite is balanced and hearty. The service is quick, though table cleanup can occasionally lag. Seating is self-serve, and clean tables are generally available. At around $20 for a large bowl, the price feels fair for the portion and quality. A great place to warm up and enjoy comforting Vietnamese cuisine.

I got 1 small piece of pork in my rice plate! Pricey for the amount of food provided.

They don't serve beer nor will they give you extra lettuce to go with the egg rolls, which in this case doesn't matter because the egg rolls were filled with something like mashed potatoes and made them unpalatable. The beef bun was edible but the side vegetables were soggy and carrots tasted fermented as if being left at room temperature and forgotten for several days. Not recommended. I'm beginning to think that all the restaurants around this strip (Hot Wok, Inshou, etc. ) are owned by the same person or business that knows nothing about the foods they are supposed to serve.

First time, only ate here because Inshou Restarant was closed on Thursday. Everything was clean, and the food, beef stew over rice, was just okay. As others have said, when you use the electronic meal order board, you will be charged a fee for use of your payment method but no where are you told this and I am willing to bet that this is a violation of the law. Also, the my dish looked nothing like that on the electronic order board. I definitely have a greater appreciation of my go to place, Inshou.

Great service and delicious food. The place looks very clean, and all the food came out very fast. There is a Spanish speaking server who was very helpful explaining the food and what was in it. You can order trough a screen or just sit.

The flavor and the speed are great at this restaurant. Unfortunately for three dishes, the restaurant charges 2.04 for credit card. Price is not economical.

All the standard menu items including pho, bun, and rice dishes. Bun was not very good with overly soft noodles, weakly flavored sauce and not enough vegetables, though pork was very tender and tasty. Pho broth and ingredients were ok, but not outstanding. Very nice and effective service. Prices are relatively high here.

Prices used to be reasonable but not until lately. Prices skyrocketed so high that I won’t recommend to anybody!

Horrible service and demands tips when they didn't even bring us drinks and other parties that arrived after us got their food and drinks before us. Really disappointing customer service
