The food is flavorful, the portions are hearty, the prices are fair, the dishes are unique, and the staff is very professional. This has long been my favorite restaurant in Brunswick. The walls have sound absorbing paneling to dim background noise, and the service is super speedy and consistent even with a moderate crowd.I love the people at little Saigon. They’re quiet, polite, and very friendly when you get to know them.

They are fast, their food is so good and if you eat-in the dining room has a very nice, modern and cozy ambiance (sadly since having little ones, it's been more of our go-to take out than dine-in). The service is always great - very attentive and kind. I highly recommend the BBQ Pork Bun. I don't know the secret but it is just the best.

The handmade dumplings were amazing!! The sesame ball dessert was just fantastic. Everything here is great, super fresh and all tastes home made. Will be back soon!

If you’ve never tried this place give it a shot! The best pho around. Pad Thai, dumplings, etc. you cannot beat the quality for the price.

Good Food, Terrible Service.We showed up on a busy Friday evening almost 2 hours before close. Were told it would be a 15 minute wait. We weren't seated until 45 minutes later. 15 of those minutes was watching the patrons at the table that we were seated at try to get someone's attention to get them their check & then pay for it. An additional 10 minutes was spent with us trying to get someone's attention to seat us at the table we could see was open and ready.We finally had to go to the back and let them know we were going to sit. Got our own tableware (napkins, cutlery) & menus.Once we ordered, food took a bit to get there, but not unbearably long. One of the appetizers wasn't available but the waitress only came back to the table around 10 min after we placed our orders to tell us that.No-one came back to check on us while we ate. We knew it was getting closer to closing time so were trying to flag someone down to order dessert. We finally did (now a couple minutes before closing), only to be told a few minutes later that the kitchen was closed.After finishing our meal we waited for a while to get the check, while hearing loud chatter and laughter at the back (there's a bar there). Finally had to go back to ask for and pay the check.Unfortunate that the experience was so poor because the food was good.

Grazie mille, Grace, for sharing some insights into Vay's culinary expertise and the vision behind this great spot! Excellent pho and an authentic taste of Vietnam amid a really sweet ambiance. Can't wait to get back!

Get the tofu Mein! The bowl is loaded with vegetables and tofu, with a perfectly light but flavorful broth (I like to add a little hoisin that they provide at the table). It's enough for a couple meals at such a reasonable price. The fresh made spring rolls were a perfect start to the meal. The gentleman who waited on me was serving the entire restaurant but was so friendly and kind.

Amazing food & great pricing. I particularly love their Pho and Bun! The service isn't super great when dining in,but they also just have ONE waitress for the whole place...so it's understandable. Great place for some tasty Vietnamese food! Also their lotus salad is AMAZING ?Vegetarian options: They can make most of their food vegetarian friendly.

This is one of the best Vietnamese places I've ever been to and trust me, there are authentic and great places in Connecticut but this restaurant hold its own! Wonderful staff, nice, homey ambiance and prompt service. And the food.... 5 stars!! From the grilled shrimp, grilled calamari, meatballs and papaya salad appetizer .. phenomenal! Enjoyed the egg noodle soup, had so much meat and wonton, I couldn't finish it and my friend enjoyed his bun noodle bowl and loved it. I can't wait to go back to this place.

Wish I could give this more stars . Everything here is wonderful. The staff is so great ! The owner and chef came out to greet us . The food is fresh and delicious and the potions are enormous and the price is reasonable.My leftovers filled a regular take out container so it was enough for a second meal . The restaurant is small but very nice. They have the best homemade potstickers I have ever had and the Vietnamese coffee is perfect. The Pad Thai was very good a bit different from what I have had other places but excellent. The house bun was plentiful and full of delicious meat and veggies . The small Pho is a very large portion and all fresh. Unfortunately I did not get photos but the presentation of the food is beautiful . I will add photos next time as I know I will be back many more times.
