Little Saigon

Little Saigon Restaurant Review:

If you’re looking to sample Vietnamese cuisine, head to Little Saigon in the heart of Orlando's Little Vietnam district. This casual restaurant has more than 100 items on the menu, but don't be overwhelmed. Many of the dishes are variants of a rice or noodle base with your choice of protein, from grilled beef to pork to chicken. Start with the goi cuon, cold summer rolls, made with clear rice paper wraps stuffed with noodles, shrimp and vegetables and accompanied by the slightly sweet peanut hoisin dipping sauce. Entrées include the com bo nuong bi cha trung, a rice platter with grilled beef, shredded pork, pork meat loaf patty, and fried eggs with tomatoes and lettuce. Servers are helpful if you want to be more adventurous. Try an authentic dish like banh xeo, a large Vietnamese shrimp and pork crêpe served with lettuce wraps and fish sauce. It tastes even better after a glass of da chanh, freshly squeezed Vietnamese-style lemonade, or a durian smoothie.
