Little Saigon Review

Asian immigrants created the demand for Vietnamese cuisine in Orlando, and this noisy little restaurant is one of the best. Better yet, it doesn't attract many tourists, as it's located a bit off the beaten path, and was slightly off the radar without a presence on the Internet until recently. Try the summer rolls -- a soft wrap filled with rice, shrimp, and pork, served with a delicious peanut sauce. Head next for the grilled pork and egg over rice and noodles, or barbecued beef with fried egg and rice. If your appetite is larger than average, try one of the traditional soups with noodles, rice, vegetables, and either chicken, beef, or seafood. The numbered menu is now translated in a way that allows diners to know what they're eating -- you no longer need to ask your server exactly what goes into no. 86 (and given that some of the servers don't speak English, this is a plus). As a testament to the restaurant's authenticity, tables here are usually filled with members of the local Vietnamese community. There are very limited wine and beer choices.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
