Love the food. Our favorites are the vegetable rolls, grilled chicken bahn mi box & the generous pho bowls. All of the food is always fresh and seasoned perfectly. The door dash driver took forever, but it wasn't the fault of the restaurant and didn't reflect on their quality of food or service. Expect an hour and a half for delivery 20 min away. The kitchen is fast. Our previous experience, which was dine in service, was excellent. The server was friendly and checked in on us multiple times to fill waters and make sure we liked everything. The restaurant is also really clean and welcoming. Highly recommend their food.

Just had an outstanding dinner... Chicken Curry soup was beyond excellent and the Crispy Egg Noodle Stir Fry with steak,chicken and shrimp was over the top good!! Service was friendly and very helpful... easily claiming a top 5 spot in our restaurant rotation!!

I ordered take out. Curried Pho with carrots, potatoes, shrimp, rice noodles, bean sprouts, and Thai basil. Another curried pho with sweet potato noodles and wontons. The flavors are intensely satisfying. It's a sweet start, backed up by chili oil with undeniable heat. The rice noodles assure your taste buds that they will want more a moment later, when the heat subsides leaving you wanting to dive in again. The vegetables remarkably maintain their individual flavor and integrity. Worth the drive...from Cape May.

The food is absolutely delicious and creative, and the service is attentive, helpful in ordering and friendly. My only criticism is the lights are very bright at dinner hour. It's not a reason to stay away, but it would add a little more atmosphere and ambiance.

Love Lil Saigon! Nice atmosphere, friendly service and delicious food. It is also a byob restaurant, which is always a plus.

This is my new favorite restaurant in Northfield. I got the vegetarian banh mi along with the slaw and it was better than the ones I have had in San Francisco. They put a spring roll on top of it. It was soooo delicious!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian banh mi was incredible!

This was my second visit to Lil Saigon and the food is good but when I walked into the restaurant I was watching a party of 4 leave because their 6:30pm reservation wasn't ready by 7pm. My reservation at 7pm was ready and we sat down at 7:05pm and ordered our food right away. Our first appetizer arrived with in 5 minutes ;ater which was ok than our soup appetizer arrived 3 minutes later which was ok but when my husband's main course arrive 5 minute later when we were still eating our appetizer that wasn't good especially since who serves one entree without the other person's entree. Our waiter was very good and apologized for the mixed up. Since it took so long for my entree to arrive I got the meal to go. When I was leaving I told the cashier about the issues I was having not to complain but to help them not to have these problems in the future and she was very condescending about my issues. I believe when a customer has an issue you should consider your restaurant made a mistake and should work on correcting the issue and not pretend the problem didn't happen. I would like to reiterate that the food was good and my waiter was excellent. My issue is how the kitchen runs their food service.

If you're in the mood for authentic Vietnamese food in a beautiful location that's BYOB, this is your place in Northfield. The atmosphere & service here are great, & the dishes are outstanding! it's not your typical hole in the wall, so you do pay for a more elevated ambiance. Here's what I got: 1 Roasted Cornish Hen - so flavorful with crispy skin & juicy meat - $18 2 Fried Spring Rolls - crunchy & delicious with lots of veggies on the side for lettuce wraps - $9 3Shaking Beef - perfectly tender & compliments rice so nicely - $18 I need to go back & try the soups to get me through this cold weather!
Extremely bland menu
