“ This is a place that's fills every night. And if you want to get in, call ahead or show up early! It's small, only a few tables. The chef and kitchen staff are a single family or so goes the story. I never got to meet any one of them. The menu is straightforward, as you can see. And to look at the tables and simple atmosphere before the food arrives might lead you to ask what's so special because it's always full. Well, to paraphrase a ???????? presidential candidate from the 90s , "it's the food stupid!" And it is. I had the Mama's plate and the vegetable spring rolls. And both were to die for. So if you are in Victoria BC go! And as for the service. I fell in love with my server, a wonderful smile, a sense of humor, and a personality that made you smile, not want to leave. My life is like a leaf in the wind, and I was grateful that it had carried me to this place to experience great food and a magical server. DEFINITELY must do. And now to ser where the wind takes me next. ”
“ My family and I were visiting Victoria from Vancouver and my nephew, a seasoned local, invited us to join him at Le Petit Saigon, his favourite restaurant in Victoria. I was hesitant at first, as I'm really not very familiar with Vietnamese cuisine, but he was excited and I decided to go with the flow. Wow! Easily my best decision of the week. This local Victorian treasure is nothing less than fantastic. A small family operated restaurant, the vibe is casual, friendly, and genuine. We not only felt welcome, but it was evident how much pride the owners take in sharing their wonderful food and creating a memorable experience. We ordered way too much food and it was all exquisitely prepared. Each dish appeared to be a personal variation of traditional cuisine and was bursting with the complex flavours of fresh, quality ingredients. Our server was the chef/owner's daughter and her effusive personality added to the joy of savouring her mom's cooking. Simply stated, I can't wait to go back. ”
“ Had the Vietnamese Stew with rice that was on special & it was heavenly. The most flavorful & delicious dish I've tried in a while. The hostess was a little flustered between balancing the prebooked reservations they had and the line up at the door right at 5pm for dinner opening. But she did her best and provided friendly fast service. It's a small restaurant with a small kitchen so there will be waits when it's busy. Would recommend though ”
“ Yum - there’s a good amount of meat in the Beef Pho. Good quality ingredients and prepared well. Best pho I’ve tasted in Victoria so far! ”
“ I had a spiritual experience eating the vermicelli bowl with spring roll and grilled pork. Best I’ve ever had, cannot recommend enough. Will be back ASAP! ”
“ Maybe one of my best pho in Vancouver. The owner is extremely friendly and kind. Especially her laughing sounds. You will feel warm and happy from your heart and stomach Highly recommended this small warm restaurant! ”
“ My friends and I really loved the food here. It’s a great spot if you want something filling but also healthy. The atmosphere was also very calming and cozy. The server was super nice and made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. I definitely recommend their house made chilli oil if you enjoy a bit of spice. Overall great vibes! ”
