Little Saigon Restaurant

We always have a great experience here. The food is delicious and customer service has always been excellent. Lots of menu choices. I highly recommend this place.

I’ve ate here before for the lunch menu and got beef and Broccoli today I wanted beef and broccoli and to try their pad Thai so I didn’t get the lunch special. The pad Thai was not very good. The sauce was definitely off. The beef and broccoli was good but not as good as the the first time. Some parts of it was hot. Some parts of the food was hot and some of it was room temperature. It was weird. My brother got the sesame chicken lunch special and he liked it. The sauce on the season chicken was really good. I enjoyed their little egg rolls. Next time I’ll get the beef and Broccoli, lunch special.

I had ordered an entree that is supposed to come with White Rice as a side. I had also ordered and paid for an extra side of Fried Rice. I did not get the White Rice that came with my meal. I paid about $20 for the meal and extra side that was incomplete. The worker was not friendly, I asked for a few soy sauce and after I had paid and didn’t tip for TO GO PICK UP it seemed like the worker got even more unfriendly and told me the soy sauce was in the bag but there was only one. To me customer service matters, so I’ll just take the loss on the extra money I spent for an extra item and just probably won’t go here again, also the food is known to be good here and it seemed very average this time around. Personally i’ll have to take my business elsewhere.

Found this place when we visited Springfield. Service was great. Food was amazing. Loved the fried rice and Panang curry. They have lunch specials Monday to Saturday. I would definitely come again if I’m in town.

We come here very often. Walk in. Tuesday at 12pm. Seemed like we just missed the rush today. Comfortable atmosphere for conversations. We got our regular dishes: Eggplant dish with chicken and vegetables and the S5 Com Thit Nuong Hot Ga Opla dish. Both excellent as always.

Had been a patron here at least a dozen times and never had a bad experience. Today the chicken i ordered through take out was without a doubt one of the worst things ive ever tasted. The texture, taste and quality made it inedible. I had to throw it away. Completely lost my appetite. Id be seriously concerned if my restaurant was selling food of that quality.

My wife and I have been to Little Saigon several times before and always have had great meal service and this time was no different. The food is always great and the place was very clean. Our server was prompt and helpful. I had the Thai Mixed Vegetables with beef and it was great. I would say I will get it again next time but there are so many delicious menu choices I can't be for sure what I will choose. This is on my restaurant short list.

Really solid Vietnamese food. The Chinese food and Thai food were also authentic. I usually avoid pan-asian restaurants like the plague, but this place was surprisingly delicious and the prices were really low for big portions. Would come back!

I drive by this little local place often. Maybe it isn't a secret at all, maybe I just didn't know. Sunday afternoon, lazy day, cold, nice day for a ride. My wife and I like a few other assembly line Asian places in town but really felt like a bowl of soup and I LOVE crazy noodles. Haven't been here for YEARS, if ever? Great day to sit and talk with my wife over some good food, no rush, no one looking over your shoulder for the last chicken wing. What a great meal. We split the soup, took a little home. I ordered the mild crazy noodles, probably should have gotten medium. Added some sweet and heat from the table top sauces and was PERFECT to my taste. Mrs Pants had the Mongolian plate with beef. Also fresh, hot, outstanding. I would LIKE a little more beef in mine- but will give it a pass. The prices here are very reasonable and probably leading competitive venues. Service was great. Building is old but is remodeled inside, well maintained, clean and welcoming. Little Saigon is def back on my radar when I need a homemade quality Asian dish. What you get for the $$ = VALUE. All that and a fortune cookie at this place. Thank you to the staff. Well done.

Our server was prompt and polite and upbeat. Out food come to use quickly after we ordered, which was very easy. The restaurant is brightly lit and clean with a. Pleasant friendly atmosphere. Our food was vegetable delux with chicken and I had the spicy glass noodles extra spicy. Plays an order of egg rolls and shumai. All done excellently. I am glad you have this place, Springfield.

Tucked away in the business district this was a gem. The food was fantastic. The service was efficient. Had a nice dinner

Always great tasting food and service. My favorite Thai restaurant in Springfield. Try any of their food and you will have a nice meal.

The food here is fantastic. I've had curries and pad Thai dishes here, and I think they are the best around. The sweet staff is attentive and kind, and good with recommendations. Everything here is fast and fresh, and very flavorful. What's not to like?

Food is always consistent here. You get nice portions for the price and always flavorful. We grabbed carryout tonight but have eaten in many times as well. They have great lunch specials I highly recommend. The food was ready super fast and always is even when they are busy. I will say my fried rice left something to be desired today. It was very bland and lacking and flavor. The vegetables were predominantly onions which is disappointing to not have much else and no flavor. Probably would not order again but will definitely be back for the other delicious food they offer.

great food and service. big menu so something for everyone! best basil chicken in town

Portions are huge! We started with the crab rangoon and both had the Pho as our entrees. Neither of us could finish but the meals were flavorful and filling.

Good food, although they needed to believe I could handle the spice when I asked for it spicy. Three slices of jalapeño was joy what I was expecting. Excellent and fast service as well.

I've been to nearly all Thai and Vietnamese restaurants in town, and so far, this is the only place I can find that makes a halfway decent panang curry. Though it is definitely above average for the area, I've been spoiled by living near many such restaurants around the country, so my expectations may be unrealistically high. Aside from good curry, they also have high-quality pho, which really hits the spot during those frigid winter months.

Nice dining experience. I have to say it was a very comfortable space. The service was excellent. The food was really good. I just got beef broccoli...I'm a simpleton that way when it comes to any type of Asian food. Thankfully the dish wasn't sweet like thai or other places other than just straight forward Chinese food. I would say it had a tiny bit of a sweet note but not nearly as bad as thai. I also got the fried dumplings....i wish they were fried (pan seared) only on the bottom. But they were still very good. Just prefer dumplings that are just pan seared. I'll be back for sure. Here working at the capitol north wing restoration.

The food was good! I'd rate it a 6.5-7 out of 10. The wings were flavorful and the sauce on them was unique. The fried rice was tasty, however the shrimp tasted like it had been cooked separately and tossed in after. One shrimp was sort of cold; however, the rice was good! The service was quick!

Very good experience every time I go there. Always look forward to going back. Hope they're here for many years to come

Pleasantly surprised at how quiet the restaurant was on a Sunday early evening. Service was good food was typical of Asian restaurants. Not busy, so we were able to linger.

The wait staff was very kind and accommodating. The food was quite average to us, not meaning any disrespect, and no, we're not Phó snobs. However, we have eaten Phó all around the Midwest and a lot on the West Coast and in . The broth (Phó Saigon) was tasty but lacked the appropriate amount of meat. The egg rolls were ok, once again, underwhelming. Sorry only 3 plates for Little Saigon.

Great place to eat. We are always promptly seated. Wait staff us friendly and attentive. Food is always great.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. This place should not be called, "little Saigon" This place should be called Asian fusion or Asian cuisine. If you are looking to eat Vietnamese food this is not the place for you! This restaurant takes the short cut and use pho broth powder with water and it is NOT AUTHENTIC pho! I can't even say the worst pho I have ever had because it's NOT EVEN PHO! The egg rolls are frozen and taste like FAST FOOD egg rolls! The crispy noodles had little to no noodles! The Com thịt nướng is the only decent thing because at least they can make rice! Not one person I spoke to spoke VIETNAMESE! They charged $12.95 for a bowl of pho that they made for $3.00!!! EVEN THE BEST PHO out there Texas, cali, other states are $10! There is Thai and Chinese food on the menu and this is called a Vietnamese and Thai restaurant. They should make this Chinese and Thai and take Vietnamese off! We Vietnamese people are proud of our food and this is a disgrace. I understand the concept of supporting local restaurants but this location is such a disappointment to the Vietnamese culture. I hope they change the name because THIS LOCATION IS HAS NO AUTHENTIC VIETNAMESE FOOD. Just because they are in a state with little to no Asians in the community you cannot fool Vietnamese people. I REPEAT THIS IS NOT VIETNAMESE FOOD! This is fast food asian (Chinese/Thai) food at best!

Super good food. I was pleaseantly surprised for it being Springfield Illinois. Recommend the summer roll. The lunch seafood lunch special was good, I got lobster and crab. My sister enjoyed the lo mein.

Great Bumi, spring rolls and even better fruit freezes! One of my favorite Thai places in town.

Excellent food, we'll prepared and presented. Wait staff very courteous and helpful. We will return.

We were passing through Springfield, IL to visit my daughter and we saw this establishment on Yelp. We saw the reviews and decided to stop in to try the place out. I had the Grilled Chicken, which was very moist and flavorful. The sunnyside egg that covered the chicken breast put it over the top. This is my new go to place whenever we are in Springfield. The restaurant has many healthy options and the staff is friendly and constantly sensitizing.

Some things were good, while others weren't. The soups tasted so much like dish soup. White rice was dry, with the chicken being undercooked with blood still inside. The wait time was very long, and the servers were polite. It was loud all around with kids running around. The only thing I can say about the decorations were that they were interesting, to say the least.

I have been here twice. The first time I had Crazy Noodles aka Drunken Noodles which We always order at Thai restaurant. Every Thai restaurant presents them differently. These were not memorable, but not bad. The chicken was ground which I presume makes preparation easier but does nothing for flavor and freshness. I also had spring rolls with peanut sauce but, again, not remarkable. Our second visit was better. Only downside was the egg drop soup which was warm, not hot. The basil chicken was spicy and flavorful. But, again, the chicken was ground. I really enjoy the atmosphere here. It is comfortable and clean. It also seems to be a popular place. Staff is friendly. Plenty of parking.

We stumbled upon Little Saigon years ago while passing through Springfield on a road trip. Over the years, if we were remotely close to the area, we would make a detour to come here because we enjoyed the food and boba so much. Today we were traveling through the area so we made a stop for lunch...but this time we were deeply disappointed in literally everything. The Taro boba has always been my favorite, but after a couple of sips, I could not drink anymore. The summer rolls were mostly all head lettuce and very bland. Lastly, we ordered the chicken pad Thai and it didn't taste anything remotely to chicken pad Thai as it was covered in sweet & sour sauce. We let our waitress know that the food was NOT good and that I wanted to send my boba back. Because no one understood English, we were still charged for our uneaten food. I wish I would've remembered to snap a photo of our meal. It's a real shame that this business has gone downhill since the last time we visited. I will probably never go back.

They have good food Good customer service it' Chicken Rice Noodle Soupnice relaxing in the inside

Great spot! I wish this place was in Chicago. I had the best pad Thai ever! The Vietnamese crepe was top notch too. My absolute favorite was the pad Thai. If you are reading this review and you want to take something from it just remember these words....PAD THAI, pad Thai, pad Thai! Too bad grub hub won't travel 3 hours to deliver food. So I read a few negative reviews about the pad Thai. Not sure what's up but maybe they read what was written and changed. This pad Thai was like the best I've ever had. Just my opinion.

Thank you Little Saigon for the friendly service and the amazing food! Everything looked and tasted delicious. I got the lunch special which came with a soup and an egg roll for a very fair price! The food came out pretty quick despite the restaurant being busy during lunch hours. Would definitely recommend people to come here and try it!

I was in the area and was excited to see so many & such good reviews for this restaurant, but personally coming from CA with an abundance of asian food the dishes did not hit the spot for me. The service was Polite and friendly, they would come check on us and she helped bag up the boxes I packed (personal preference to box food myself). Restaurant had about 3 rooms with circle cut out wall dividers was unique. Walking in my first whiff smelt a little of bathroom but once I walked pass the smell went away. My hubby told me it was the old building smell. I ordered the shrimp shumai appetizer which I saw a picture on yelp for. It was made of tiny shrimp and mostly whiteish meat. Reminded me of fish balls or frozen seafood balls. Texture was good crunchy deep fry but inside was softer. This came with a sweet and sour sauce I enjoyed. Pad se lew was flat noodles with broccoli egg and meat, not a lot of sauce and was my kids dish. Soldier of red sea seafood curry. I requested mild, but it definitely was not mild. I could see the broth was full of red pepper or spicy flakes. It came with about 3 shrimps couple mussels and baby scallops, baby carrots, basil, carrots, onions, mushrooms with a side of rice. The broth was ok not authentic thai food quality. Sesame chicken dish did not taste the way my husband was expecting. My experience in CA sesame chicken usually would be a sweet sauce similar to your typical sweet & sour or orange chicken style. This one was a deep fried crunchy chicken (the positive) but the sauce just wasn't as expected. Like the waitress told us when we asked if it was good, she said some people like it some people don't. Hubby didn't & I wish it wasn't as salty as it was. It was more savory than sweet which I was expecting. Dish was garnished with brocolli on the sides. Overall I was able to fill my extremely hungry stomach, but my hubby did Not think the food was good. I would agree the food was not authentic tasting for each of the cuisines offered (Chinese, Thai. Vietnamese, Signapore, Burma?) But I would say the food was edible if you are not familiar with the flavors of the various cuisines.

An unassuming place along a busy thoroughfare littered with strip shopping centers, Little Saigon could be easy to miss. Don't. With an almost overwhelmingly large menu of meal selections this is the place to find your favorite Asian dishes. It would also be a good place to take someone who thinks Thai and Vietnamese cooking is adventurous or exotic. Tell the staff what meat, seafood and veggies you want--and your level of pepper heat (or none)--and they'll match it to one of their dishes. Larger than it looks from the outside, Little Saigon can accommodate couples to large groups.

We were hungry and looked for a reasonably priced Asian restaurant, and we settled for Little Saigon. What a great choice it was! We've had Satay chicken, juicy and crusty to perfection, as appetizer and then picked Pho Saigon and Lo Main with veggies. Generous portions and great taste. They have a good selection of soups and some traditional Thai offerings like Pad Thai as well. Very well Prices and quick serviceI recommend.

My veggies were freezer burnt the noodles tasted old the wontons overcooked also tasted old. Won't be coming back.

pho is lame no flavor, I love pho and the pho I ate here are for people that doesn't know what pho should taste. But they do have a clean eating area. Service are average.

Always tasty dishes, prompt and friendly service and very clean. The decor is also inviting.

Great food every time. Never had a bad meal here. authentic and fresh. When we get to Soringfield this is always a stop we make.

Got some takeout for lunch. How delicious! Had yellow curry with tofu. Excellently spiced and utterly delicious!

Great service, good food! Pad Thai is my go to! Crab Rangoon is delicious! Great for a gathering also!

Do you love the nice crunch of al Dente broccoli, and the soft texture of rice noodles, the strong flavor or basil? Get the Crazy Noodles, they are Awesome! Good flavor and texture and reasonable price. ($8.95) It reminds me of what some other restaurants call Pad ki Mao. We also tried the Saigon Siumai. I personally enjoy steamed ones instead of the fried ones they served.. But for $3.75 I'll take it.

We have only been here one other time, years ago, but we were not disappointed either time. The waiter was attentive and helpful with our questions, the food was wonderful (and such big helpings), the only complaint was that it was a bit too warm in the building. The ambiance is nice, you can tell they've put in some effort to keep it modern. Did I mention the food? Because it was so good.

Service is extremely friendly and sweet. This place is super clean with a warm feeling. Passed by this place 100 times and thought I would check it out for lunch on a Saturday. So glad I did. Beef mei fun and fried dumplings didn't disappoint. Very extensive Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese offerings. Fresh and beautifully prepared dishes. Might make this place a regular spot.

Food was lacking in flavor. Great service, but feel like there may be better options.

The food can be hit or miss. One night a person that I was treating to dinner ordered a shrimp curry dish. The made it with pork. We send it back. We asked politely for the remake. The dish they provided was too spicy hot to even taste. The menu describes the dish as a sweet curry. I have enjoyed the dish before. But this was too spicy hot. Manager said we could have a credit next time we came in. That never happened. Too sad they treat their mistake this way.

WOW...what a great restaurant. I arrived to a great smelling entry...standing room wait as every seat was taken. After being seated... looking over the menu takes some time as it has quite the number of dishes. I settled upon the Tum Yum Goong soup which is a hot & sour soup with a unique sweet taste, with onion, cilantro, mushrooms, lemon grass, and shrimp. It is awesome. I also choose a shrimp and squid stir fry, with yellow and green onions. What an awesome meal, great service, nice atmosphere. Local family business...your neighbors and friends...give your support.

Ok. For those who remember, I gave Cilantro in Cinci OH a rave review not only for their flavor, but their complete and utter disregard for "portion control". Well. Apparently Little Saigon failed to get the portion control memo also and upped the ante on the flavor department. On the road, in the rain, and in the cold...yes 25F is cold to a Texan, I was in search of the most noble of fares to warm ones soul to the core...PHO!!!! After a quick consultation with Yelp, I happily determined there was Pho-age nearby my hotel. So I wrapped warm and was off. Being somewhat of a pho snob...I immediately ordered the Pho Tai Bo Vein or thin sliced beef with meatballs. What arrived was not a bowl...but a cauldron of pho. It was honestly bigger than my head. Being the polite chap I am, I first tasted the broth. Delectable. I added just a smidge of hoisin, soy, and placed the basil leaves in the far corner to steep as the broth cooled down. Sooooooo...what does one do whilst waiting for pho to cool down? Correct. Drink Sake. The restaurant presents it in a cool way too. So ones drink doesn't cool down too much they put it in boiling water. Clever. Time to dive in and crush this bowl. Or so I thought. I honestly had to text my wife play by play timelines. It took me...literally...20 minutes of non-stop eating to crush this bowl. It was like playing a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos but the damn balls never stop coming...until they do. The meat was tender. The meatballs were perfect. Everything was seasoned very well and the noodles were like a bazillion little stars exploding in my mouth at the same time. Exquisite. Warm and now waddling, I made my way back to the hotel. Wear your stretchy pants. But please...do eat here.

I haven't eaten at little Saigon in years, so I decided to give it a shot! Although the first few bites of my tum yum soup were delicious... I found a bug in my soup. Very unappetizing.

This is kind of a hole-in-the-wall type place. It's a Springfield staple and is kind of like a time capsule - things just stand still. I've gone various time over the last decade and I have to say, after not going for several years, our visit last night has moved them to the top of the list for Asian/Thai cuisine in the area. Very clean inside. Very. I am meticulous and walls, floors, tables, everything was clean. All staff were masked. They quickly cleaned tables and floors after diners left. Food came out in a very reasonable amount of time and was hot, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend the Pad Thai, Lo Mein and Sesame Chicken. Possible the best Sesame Chicken I've ever had. Our waiter was so friendly, sweet and polite. He provided wonderful and efficient service. Also - make sure you get a Freeze. Both the Strawberry and Coconut are out of this world!

Lovely restaurant with delicious food. Punang chicken was outstanding as were the egg rolls. We were just passing through and lucky for us we found this place. Thanks to Yelp.

Always delicious! 503 is our favorite. Everything on the Thai menu is good, but you need to go by the menu descriptions because the names of the dishes are different than the ones used in many Thai restaurants.

The wife is from Saigon, and she rarely gets treated to Vietnamese food now that we live in a cornfield, so I make every effort to take her to an underwhelming, hole-in-the-wall, Midwest place for Vietnamese food. But, Little Saigon knocked off her socks. She got the Saigon sampler, which is served on a platter big enough for four people, and she ate the whole thing. Highlights included chao tom, shrimp paste on sugar cane, which I've not seen at other restaurants. The crazy/drunken noodle was also exceptionally good. Not much else to say about an exceptional restaurant. Solid five stars thanks in no small part to the prices. Little Saigon is an unparalleled bargain and one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Illinois I've tasted so far.
