Asian Garden Mall

Where to Eat in Little Saigon, Orange County | Eater

"A cathedral-like community hub and meeting spot for retirees and festival crowds, this two-story, 1980s-style shopping mall—fronted by white marble statues and pagoda-inspired glasswork—houses roughly 300 Vietnamese businesses and hosts one of the largest Tet (Lunar New Year) celebrations in the country. Inside are rows of shops selling everything from lacquered goods and cosmetics to clocks, and a bustling food court anchored by a popular banh mi vendor; for many first-generation immigrants it functions as a nostalgic patch of the old country and a dependable social nucleus." - Cathy Chaplin
