Little Saigon is big and full of restaurants—not all of which are good. So here’s a partial glovebox list of the most chowhoundly joints in the area, most of which specialize in just one, super-delicious dish.

The best spots for home-style cooking from the Philippines.

nothing that special. You’re better off exploring the actual restaurants there, especially Huong Viet, which has awesome grilled pork, grilled lemongrass beef, lemongrass/chili shrimp, quail, soups, crispy spring rolls,...

My favorite things are all in the Specialties of Vietnam Rural section, particularly: 77. Canh Chua, chon (spicy soup) 79. Ca hoac Thit Kho (salmon) 80. Com Ca Ram va Rau Luoc (more salmon) 81. Tom hoac Bo Xao Sa Ot hay Ca Ry (...

in the area or others I have had in California. This place made standard dishes somewhat different. THe grilled pork vermichelli (bun) was not your standard treatment thick vs typicall thin sliced pork but was very good. I had...

. The Grilled Lemongrass Beef is particularly good and in my opinion better than the chicken. They also serve fresh fruit drinks which a lot of people seemed to be getting but which I did not try.

My friend and I are in love Mangosteen’s spicy garlic noodles with lemongrass beef. I also really like their shrimp salad, although I always have to share if I get both since the portions are pretty generous.

BTW the lemongrass beef had two versions. The other version is charbroiled version. Not sure how that compares to the one I tried which is more like sauteed. The waiter mentioned that the charbroiled version is better.

as in the beef rib. it’s just meat on a lemongrass stick. but what the food excelled in with presentation, it lacked in overwhelming my taste buds. for entrees, we had the beef stir fry, the lemongrass crusted lamb chops,...

I went there for restaurant week on monday. The only great part of the meal was the oyster shooter (an extra we ordered). Beef tar tar was too spicy and doused in soy sauce. Pork chop was tough and flavorless (although the clams...

to Rang Dong for lunch where I had the Bo Tai Chanh along with an order of Chai Goi and Lemongrass Beef Bun all of which were quite tasty. My only suggestion besides the Bo Tai Chanh is to visit Rang Dong during the day because...
