Roberto ChanDecember 27, 2015It's always crowded here, suggest to make reservation here, recommend the lemongrass chicken, red braised lamb curry
AmateurConciergeJanuary 4, 2018Fantastic Singaporean/Vietnamese food. The chicken is a must, loved the sea bass too. Shaky beef was good but chicken and bass better. Pass on the okra (and I love okra)- Doug de WetJanuary 26, 2016Our server recommended the refreshing grilled prawn salad. Bursting with bright, bold flavors and fresh herbs, it was crunchy and wonderful.
Adrian PhillipsNovember 9, 2015Brilliant southeast Asian / Vietnamese style meal. Be sure to try the salted cod fried rice, pea tendrils & lemongrass steak. Imperial rolls were delicious. Service was outstanding.
Connie ChiuJune 17, 2018The best dish was the SGV banh mi! Big and flavorful. Papaya salad is also good. Everything else was okay. Didn’t love the shaky beef or the rice paper beef roll. Beef tartare was okay. Love the vibe.
Amazing flavors. Favorites include the pho gỏi cuốn and their take on one of my grandma's comfort food dishes, mapo tofu/dofu.
Thomas ColtonJanuary 11, 2016Actually worth the hype. The space is small, so come off peak hours or make a reservation. The shaky shaky steak is incredible, but there realistically isn't a bad option on the menu.
jennifer hanDecember 18, 2015the imperial rolls are so umami and delicious! the pho banh cuon is also yummy - all the flavors of pho in roll form.- Doug de WetJanuary 6, 2016Must eat more Imperial Rolls! Didn't plan on stopping, but the incredible aroma beckoned us to enter. Imperial rolls are stellar.
Go Find AliceNovember 4, 2019Amazing fusion Vietnamese food! Portions are huge and everything is delicious.
Tom PistolJanuary 3, 2017I'm not a big fan of salad but the one here was super good with fresh herbs and a good dressing. The other dishes were delicious too.
Mary AndersonFebruary 19, 2018Lemongrass beef, spring rolls, the noodles, chicken bahn mi!! Everything is sooo good!!
Renaud #July 23, 2016We love the Autumn rolls: sweet potato, jicama egg, viet herbs, chinese sausage, sweet shrimp, coconut peanut sauce.
RoobsJuly 30, 2018Not at all what I imagined but an interesting side. Look at the adorably tiny lotus root! (Knife for scale). Note that this is definitely low-to-medium level spicy.
Anna SunJuly 8, 2018Great atmosphere, nice service and tasty food freshly made right in front of you :) definitely recommend to visit!
@theJGold sez the lemongrass chicken is impossible to stop eating, and the duck congee "has the smack of recently roasted duck".
Sara WhitakerJanuary 31, 2020Everything I have had here is wonderful. Highly recommend the spring rolls and vermicelli noodles.- Robb FerrisMay 29, 2018Probably the best pho I’ve ever had. Get that and the shaky shaky beef - so much flavor
Paul CunninghamMarch 8, 2018The lemongrass chicken was very good, but a warning: there can be small bone fragments.
Ivan GudovOctober 29, 2017Pho and lamb curry was delicious. Portions are very filling, so consider sharing.- RoobsJuly 30, 2018Bo kho. A tiny bit of a kick (not as spicy as all the other reviews make it out to be).
Marino MaranionFebruary 1, 2016Would come back for the Okra curry alone. Lemongrass beef & vermicelli was particularly tasty too- Audrey ChouJanuary 14, 2018Flavorful pho ga + love the textures and fried donut with the fish congee
- RoobsJuly 30, 2018Half of the pate that comes with the Bo kho. There were also baguettes, but those didn't last long.
Ruby AnayaJanuary 27, 2017There is literally nothing without meat on the menu except bread. Even all three salads have meat. I need some veggies too ya know!
Chele RocksSeptember 16, 2016Was excited to try the lotus sticky rice w/chicken & pork, topped w/fried egg. The rice was a basically a glutenous lump + no flavor. Pass.
Lucie ClarkAugust 13, 2018Underwhelming experience tonight at Little Sister. We were expecting a great meal but the menu was confusing and the food wasn’t great. Overall an average experience.
Allison YuAugust 11, 2016Was not expecting much from here but WOW that was some amazing pho and Vietnamese iced coffee. Mediocre service
