Reviews for Little Saigon Restaurant in Brunswick, ME
I am a very patient and understanding person when it comes to the industry because I worked in it for 14 years. I went in on a... Friday afternoon and there were only two other tables in the restaurant and we waited to be sat, we were ignored by the waitresson staff for 5 minutes and then I asked if we were supposed to seat ourselves. She held up a finger, said nothing and went backto ignoring us for 5 more minutes. If you're hungry go to Shere Punjab next door, food is good and they know how to treatpeople. Read more
I have always had excellent service here and the food is simply addictive, particularly the beef bun, which is fresh and... bursting with a wonderful balance of flavors. It even comes with a delicious mushroom spring roll. Yum. I might get some rightnow. Read more
Honestly can say this was the best service matched with food that I?ve ever personally had. The passion behind everything that... happens here is extremely noticeable, and the authenticity is evident in flavor and hospitality. Will definitely be back morethan once, and refer this place to many people Read more
Best Vietnamese food I have ever had. Lots of choices in Brunswick, ME area, but dined here three times during our stay...it is... THAT good. Read more
Authentic flavors presented beautifully. Generous portions are great value. I'm Vietnamese and this place is one of the... best. Favorites: Bun nam vang, rice crepes w/ pork, spring rolls w/ shrimp, & fried summer rolls. Pro tip for takeout pho:heat the broth up to boiling separately, then pour it over the noodles & protein, even if it feels hot enough when you get home.The heat dissipates, & you'll end up w/ clumpy lukewarm soup otherwise. Do not boil the broth together w/ the noodles, orthey'll get gummy. Read more
Food is really good & authentic! I've ordered dine-in & take-out and each time did not disappoint with the food being consistent... and hot! The service is similar to Asian restaurants/culture - they serve your food/refill drinks but leave you alone since theyassume you'll enjoy the time with your partner/friends & don't need to small talk with the waitress. Plus, the space is small sothey likely want to get people in/out when its busy so customers don't have to wait/skip and there'd be more sales. I assumebeing understaffed & relying on tips is why workers are more curt but it's unfair to put standards of American diner cultureonto a small Vietnamese business. I would tip more if the waitress left me alone to enjoy the food/catch up with friends thanputting a façade of fake friendliness/small talk tbh Read more
I went here with my nephew and had house pho. He had the house vermicelli. Both were excellent and absolutely authentic. (I... lived in Vietnam for a year three years ago so feel qualified to attest to the authenticity.) Service was good and it?s a lovelyatmosphere. Our server, a lovely Chinese lady, is hesitant with her English so may seem unfriendly but after a couple ofattempts at engaging her in conversation it was clear that she?s simply a little shy about not speaking English with confidence.

The more I eat at other restaurants around Brunswick, the more I wish I had just eaten at little Saigon. Food is always,... consistently great, soups and bun are amazing. My only criticism is I wish they had more appetizers, but I would still get thelittle Saigon egg rolls because they are outstanding. Also, not as expensive as other places but the quality is good.
