We are not from the area and wanted to try this place, so we drove down. Apparently they're closed for spring break, along with all the other cafes in the area surrounding the hospital/university. 3.14.24. Bummer we didn't get to try it. Went over to the shopping center near Whole Foods to find a place that was open.

The seafood rangoons were gross. They were cream cheese rangoons...gloppy, sloppy cream cheese with barely a hint of seafood flavoring. The crispy rolls and chicken were greasy and the watermelon kiwi soda was sickening sweet syrup. All in all a gross meal for which I had such such had hopes. I always had such good Vietnamese food when I lived in downtown Orlando.

WOW! The Saigon Grilled Pork Special is 5/5! Perfectly cooked and crispy unlike Americanized knock off banh mi’s. The owner is very professional and kind! Certainly will be coming back to try the rest of the menu!

So everyone i went with got an amazing dish. If i could give general life advice it would be to always go with what the chef suggests because at the end of the day thats their tested recipes. My sister got an amazing shaking beef and her bf got the pho. Both killer. I order the create ur own thing. I got the udon noodles and crispy chicken. The udons were amazing and the chicken was great but they didnt really work together but thats because of my own dumb ass. In retrospect it sounds ridiculous and I could have got my udon fix with the other options. The thai tea was awesome too. Real friendly and fast service. In the end this is a great spot.

The greatest Bahn Mi place in the world is currently closed until further notice. It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all … I’m moving away from Gville and will dream of their Pork Saigon Special Bahn Mi forever

The green thai chicken curry is too good (ask for it to be made spicier).

Great good, great people. We'll be coming again! Their Thai curry taste homemade, very comparable to a street food taste.

Very good food; however, the hours here are not how a should business should operate they are never open even when they say they are, hopefully everything is alright for y’all, people want to support this place but I keep coming here hungry and not being able to get food. Best dish here is the teriyaki chicken over pineapple fried rice, amazing, good service, and portions. Only gripe is the hours.
It was a little difficult to get to on a weekend, but even with a long line, I did not have to wait long for my order. The baguette really was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! The sandwich was really big for the price, in my opinion, and all the flavors were really pleasant (daikon, carrot, chicken). I had every intention of waiting to eat it until I was out of my car, but I couldn't help sneaking bites every few minutes. Definitely would go back!

I am not a banh mi person so I can’t compare. But as a sandwich expert, the Saigon Special Grilled Pork was SO tasty! Cucumber was so fresh, pork sauce was so tasty and the bread unbelievably fresh! Hubby’s bbq chicken was was also excellent. We will be back. Just wish the whole restaurant was cleaner!

I went to Crispy Baguette recently and throughly enjoyed my experience. The server is very friendly and even offered suggestions. The overall atmosphere had a cozy ambiance with the lights around the wall and the warm tones. The food itself was one of the best Vietnamese-based foods I've tried - the banh mi and Bang Bang Chicken was one of the best. The food is made immediately after ordering and offered fresh and piping hot within 10-15 minutes. I would definitely come here again!

My husband and I dined here for the first time and we ordered the Thai Spicy Green Curry with vegetables and added vermicelli noodles which came separately, garlic fried rice bowl, vegetable crispy rolls, house chili garlic fish sauce wings, signature crispy chicken, Thai tea, and Vietnamese iced coffee.The Thai spicy green curry sauce was a little salty, but overall it was very good. I usually add a bit of hot water if it's too salty anyway so it can be fixed. The house chili garlic fish sauce wings and signature crispy chicken were delicious. I like how the signature crispy chicken came with some vegetables as well. My husband loves Thai tea so it was good here.I mentioned to the owner, Kenneth, that the vermicelli noodles didn't smell or taste right to me. He happily accommodated me by giving me rice free of charge. He even made me another Thai spicy green curry because I had already added the vermicelli into the curry. He explained that different brands of vermicelli can change the taste. I really appreciated that he was able to offer rice AND new Thai spicy green curry. In addition, he even gave us a 10% coupon for next time. The chicken wings and crispy chicken here are excellent. He also recommended the udon, so we will try that next time. The customer service is exceptional and Kenneth went above and beyond to remedy the situation. He is very understanding, patient, and he obviously cares about the experience of the customers. My husband and I will definitely return.I enjoy supporting local restaurants so I was surprised and happy to see Kenneth at Red Rice Kitchen too! Kenneth and his family are hard-working people and managing/owning restaurants take a lot of work and dedication.He knows my husband loves Thai tea so he offered one free of charge. We ordered the Pad Ginger, pho, and wonton soup at Red Rice Kitchen. He explained the pho is good because they make it fresh daily. Everything was good here. We want to try the pad Thai or drunken noodles next time.
