Gigi's was surprisingly good. For Maynard and the surrounding area, it rates five stars, and I took off one star only because I have eaten Vietnamese food in Dorchester MA, which has a large Vietnamese population and multiple Vietnamese restaurants. But who wants to drive 45 minutes just for dinner? My partner and I both had vermicelli noodle bowls (also known as as Bun). I got the Fried Summer Rolls Vermicelli, and my partner got Grilled Shrimp, Pork and Summer Rolls. They are fresh, with a large serving of the protein part (summer rolls, pork, shrimp) along with rice noodles, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, Asian radish, and topped with mint and chopped peanuts. A chili garlic sauce is served on the side. Very tasty, though the sauce was milder and seasoned differently from what I prefer. A spoonful of siracha sauce helped. The restaurant is clean. Service was very prompt. Chop sticks come standard, but they will provide typical American knife, fork, spoon upon request. An adjacent table had a Vietnamese family dining, which I took as a good sign. I anticipate returning. The menu options are not extensive, but they had what I wanted.

Gigi’s is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant! Every time I come back to my home town, I am craving Gigi’s. Their pork vermicelli is my go-to, but I love their Spring rolls, Summer rolls, fried rice, Bahn Mi, pho, lava cake, and more. There’s not a single dish that I have tried that I didn’t love. This place is a hidden gem!

I'm addicted to the spring tolls with shrimp. So light and crisp and crunchy inside. Pho was good, too , I had the thin-sliced beef. Portions enough for two meals.

Went back for a second try. Amazing experience food was great this place makes a better steak than most steak houses. And the traditional food is delicious the Grilled chicken spring rolls and the vermicelli are great also a nice layed back environment even though it was busy 10/10

Our meals were delicious, scrumptious! We were seated right away, and a waiter came to ask about drinks, etc, shortly after that. We should have tried this restaurant before but will certainly go again soon.

It's both light, but gives you a good amount of food at the same time. Its light as in like it doesn't feel how you feel after having four pieces of Carbones pizza after like you feel good after.

Gigi's is amazing. The food is so consistently delicious with flavors in some dishes that will make you literally moan. We mostly do take-out but dining-in is lovely as well. Gigi's caters to my vegan and carnivorous friends and family and all leave happy. If in or around Maynard, this is a gem you need to try!

The food was delicious, however this was some of the worst service I’ve had at a restaurant.Walked in and there was a “please wait to be seated” sign which we followed, but took a while for someone to show up. But we got seated and it was ok, took about 10 minutes even though there were a decent number of empty tables.But then, it took 40 minutes after that for someone to come by to ask us what we wanted to eat (and only because I asked the person re-filling our waters to help us order). Our waiter seemed to have totally forgotten about us, as the other tables around us were going through multiple rounds of their meal. Incredibly frustrating.Then, when he did finally take our order, he was pretty rude about it? No apologies, and basically just plopped our dishes on the table without saying anything. And the food was a bit cold, making me think he was slow to bring it out. He also got the order wrong on a nearby table.The rest of the staff was nice and helpful, but this one waiter was honestly awful. I will still go back, and just hope he is gone for the future, since the food made it worth our time.

Love this place. I live in Oregon but have friends nearby and have eaten here several times. The food is delicious: the salmon, the salads, the crepes. Yum, yum, yum.
