I love this restaurant. The food is delicious and the service is fantastic - as is the value. Unfortunately there are very very few vegetarian options. If you're after a vegetarian noodle soup, you will have to settle for a soup made only with vegetables. I'm hoping that eventually due to demand, more vegetarian options will be provided, such as a vegetarian noodle soup with tofu and other tofu or gluten dishes.

We were looking for a Vietnamese restaurant to have lunch and decided to stop by Le Petit Saigon.

The ambiance is pretty similar to your average Pho restaurant. We ordered some pho and beef in 3 flavors. The pho was quite good, although soup was slightly on the salty side. Not the best I've had but definitely far from the worst. They do give a generous portion of noodles and meat. The beef in 3 flavors tasted similar to regular sausage, but we enjoyed it. We also enjoyed their salad roll and spring rolls. The dipping sauce for the salad roll was delicious.

Service was efficient and friendly. I was glad the waitress offered the option of having my bean sprouts cooked ahead of time.

Recommended for lunch if you're nearby, but if you're willing to drive, there are better pho places out there (try Pho Tam in Surrey).

Rainy Friday afternoon perfect scenerio for a bowl of noodles. Read excellent reviews and made a beeline from Burnaby. Good move, soup noodles were very large portions and cheap. Never been to Viet Nam or Indo-China but I expect this is the exact kind of restaurant I would find there. Very clean and comfortable. Great service and another big plus was everyone there spoke English. Everytime you said thank you you got back a you're welcome. kind of refreshingly different from those slap in on the table places. Small parking lot in the back.

I have been frequenting this restaurant since I was in high school, from the previous to the current owner, the food has never disappointed. The new owners have kept the same menu and prices and made it even better with improved presentation and service. It keeps me coming back with an additional inch in the waist for every visit. =)

1. Spring rolls ($1.50 ea.) - Definitely one of the better values out there, but this is not where it ends. It has a reasonable amount of filling with a great crunch to it, unlike the ones you find at chinese restaurants during dimsum.

2. Pho - Their Pho has a tasty and clear broth without as much MSG as other Vietnamese Pho restaurants, and the prices are reasonable from $5.50 for small to $6.75 for larger size.

3. Rice Dishes - They have a great presentation to all of the rice dishes and the flavor of their grilled meats is on par with their presentation. (from $6.00 - $7.75 - i think)

4. Clean - This place is quite clean compared to other restaurants. Just checkout the washroom and see for yourself.

Overall, this place is definitely worth checking out if you are craving for pho and you are in the neighborhood. A few of my friends drive from the suburbs into the city on a weekly to bi-weekly basis for lunch or dinner. I have the pleasure of living near this restaurant, so it's one of my faves.

Went with co-workers for lunch on a friday, and although it was very busy, we had prompt service. The food was delish, everything looked clean, food was done right, spring rolls were incredibly tasty, and everybody left happy after an inexpensive, good meal. Will absolutelly come back and bring more friends.

It really was cheaper eating here than to make dinner at home. For a small grilled chicken pho, grilled chicken dry egg noodle and a spring roll came out to less than $14.

My small pho was really large. Add the bean sprouts to it, and I couldn't finish it. The grilled chicken was nice and flavorful, but I really hate grilled chicken skin floating in my soupy pho. The other noodle dish was also reported good. The spring roll came nice and hot, but it was really small, IMO.

The restaurant looked clean, and they had a nice flat panel tv playing the food network. It was a nice touch which I thought made everyone (asian or non) feel welcome! The bunch of eating utensils looked and felt clean also.

It's always a pleasant surprise to encounter good service at asian restaurants, this one was shocking!! Everyone there was super nice to us.

Cheap eats + good food + great service = repeat customer.

I used to always go to bao chao, but this place is MUCH CLEANER! Service could use abit of work, as it is hit and miss, depending on who you get, but the food is good and the price is even better. This is the only vietnamese place I go to now. If only they'd deliver...

me and my buddy ate here about a year ago. i would consider ourselves "pho afficionados". the service was okay, if inattentive. we both had pho and i was very disappointed. the price was around $6.50 per bowl and there was neither a lot of noodles or meat. the broth tasted a bit like dishwater and other than that flavour, was quite non-descript period. i wouldn't eat at this place again..why would you, when bao chao is just up the street and would give you a bowl of pho 10 times better than this place.
