Truly Different and An Outstanding Effort
When the erstwhile Master Chef at Blue Ginger at The Taj Palace New Delhi, Ms. Hana Ho quit her assignment, by then she had fallen in love with India and the culture. She decided to stay back and open a Vietnamese restaurant in Delhi.
Little Saigon - tucked away in a small little place in the by-lanes of Hauz Khas Main Market is the expression of that love for India and for the passion of serving truly authentic cuisine.
Moving away from the standard rice paper rolls, pho - which also are available - Little Saigon serves a truly authentic Vietnamese fare - with ingredients that Chef Hana specially arranges to come fro Vietnam - when some good samaritan carries it back from her country. Different types of salads, appetizers, preparations with fish, meat and sticky rice - make a most delicious meal. The menu changes almost every day at the restaurant. The seafood pho, rice paper rolls,, pork or chicken cutlets with sticky rice and the coconut ice-cream are specially worth mentioning. At the end of the meal - do try the Vietnamese Coffee.
Hallmark of this place is the authenticity and the passion with which Chef Hana single-handedly prepares everything and serves the dishes.
The place is still new - does not have a liquor license and is yet to accept credit cards - but, definitely worth a visit and Chef Hana deserves a round of applause for her dedication.
Not that expensive at all - meal for two costs around INR 1500 for a full 3 course meal. One can almost miss the place. It is right next to the State Bank of Patiala and close to the temple on Hauz Khas Main Market.
The dining tables are set on the top of little foot pedaled Sewing machines - that almost are virtually non-existent today!
Authentic Vietnamese food, great service. Definitely some of the best food in town. Highly recommend!
The food is as extraordinary as the warmth that Chef Hana Ho has towards her customers. Fresh, colourful ingredients, simple interiors, with all the focus on flavours. It just doesn't get any better than this.
If you looking for some authentic Vietnamese cuisine... it doesn't get better than this... probably the best Vietnamese restaurant in Delhi! A small place with warm homely service.
Authentic Vietnamese cuisines... personalised service and great food. Don't go by ambience...it's a hole in the wall.
Nhà hàng rất nhiều món ngon, dù không gian hơi nhỏ nhưng ấm cúng. Chị chủ quán rất vui vẻ.
What a fantastic authentic little spot. Thank you Chef Hana!

absolutely fantastic. The food was so delicious. Thanks
Best Authentic Vietnamese Resturant ... Highly recommended
The food is amazingggg!! We had the Little Saigon plating, stir-fry prawns with lemongrass and summer rolls with shrimp and meat. The service is so prompt, it's almost unbelievable. And the chef (and her helper) are so so so sweet!
Very authentic, fresh ingredients, personalised menu by Hanna ! Will keep coming back
Best Vietnamese food till date
A tiny 4 table place! Like a home run eatery run by Vietnamese locals :) super tasty food, fresh and yummy soups, curries and the rolls. My comfort food place in Hauz Khas Delhi area.
Superb authentic Vietnamese food!!
Amazing food! Love the summer roll, braised pork and banh mi. Run by a lovely bunch of people.
My first time eating Vietnamese food was excellent! I enjoyed their flavour and their smiles
I love the food! Everything is a must try. Made with love and a desire to serve. The menu is small - but I’m making sure to try everything as they have their own speciality. Thank you for bringing such a wonderful dining experience to us commons from the stars.
This place is small so the service is super quick. The folks are super friendly. The pork belly was awesome.
The best Vietnamese in India! A hidden gem I was so happy to find! I’m from Australia but have spent time in Vietnam and Hanna the chef makes the most authentic and delicious pho ever! Also the summer rolls are heaven. Lovely couple who own the place! Me and my other Australian friend who both love Vietnamese food so much have tried other places in Delhi but nothing even comes close. Also me and my friend have been there so many times that now they know our order and also always bring out extra herbs and hoisin for us! So much love for little Saigon! Honestly the freshest and tastiest food you can get! Love you Hanna and co! Keep it up 💕 #amazingfood #yum #yourluckyifyoufindthisplace
Make sure you've got your pockets filled because place is worth every penny. It's this very small, very original and very amazing little place if you get a fix for Vietnamese food. I don't want to get into details of dishes and what and how they do what they do but if you like good good and you want to take your taste buds for a joyride. This place will give you foodgasms. So if that's something you like, no other option would be better suggestion.
This place is small and cute but their food is beyond amazing! Also, do not miss their coffee please. Will surely visit again, when have more money, since it can be a bit expensive!
It’s a cute little restaurant in Hauz Khas market. If you are looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine then this is the place to go. Run by a sweet couple, do call before you go since it has limited seating. Artichoke iced tea and the summer rolls are a must try!
Went here after two whole years of scrapping and rescheduling plans with people. It's a super tiny place, seats 8-10 people at the most. The food is great. The chef owner recommends dishes as per your dietary preferences. I would go here every time I want my fix of Vietnamese food.

I'd heard about the place from a relative and wasn't expecting much as they said it's a tiny establishment. Once I reached the location, it's actually hard to spot the restaurant because it's SO tiny! So one would think they don't have much to offer, but you couldn't be more wrong.
The place is super homely, our server (the only one there) was the warmest person despite the place being absolutely packed. Sadly they were out of their non veg Pho when we went, so we ordered two plates of spring rolls, a rice noodle chicken salad and a lemongrass prawn with sticky rice. Quantities are small for what you pay but once you start eating you realise it's pretty filling and you're paying for absolute authenticity!
The lemongrass prawn had no visible lemongrass but there is no better way to describe it than saying that it felt like biting into fried lemongrass. It was PACKED with flavour ✨ The Salad was a big surprise. Again SO amazingly flavourful! It was FULL of a variety of herbs, basil, cabbage, many other leaves I can't even identify.
For the most fulfilling and authentic viet food experience, one cannot miss Little Saigon. I cannot wait to go back for more. ❤️
Food was tasty. The place is as per Google map, though its quite hidden.
Taste : 4/5.
Service: 5/5
Cost: little higher. Its costs double than what it costs in Hanoi.
They give you chopsticks. Pho was good. Vietnamese spring rolls were tasty. Banh mi is also good but it was Rs 385 which is very costly.
Coconut ice cream was good.

I have been fascinated by Vietnamese Cuisine for quite some time now and have been reading/watching videos about it lately. Yesterday, I finally decided to give this cuisine a try at one of the oldest Vietnamese eatery in Delhi- Little Saigon in Hauz Khas Market.
Its a small place with big flavours. Two of us ordered Rice cakes filled with Chicken, Shrimp and Chicken Pho & Banh Mi and Iced coffee with glass jelly & Artichoke Iced Tea.
Vietnamese cuisine is known for their balance of flavours and usage of fresh veggies in every dish and this place delivered just that. The stuffed rice cakes topped with spoons-full of fish sauce were a delightful appetiser with soft outer rice cake and flavourful minced chicken stuffing topped with assorted greens.
The Pho was something I wouldn't mind going again and again to this place for. Such a flavourful clear broth with distinct seafood flavour, chewy rice noodles, and well cooked chicken & shrimp. Must must have dish here!! I just had to try their Banh Mi as its one of the most popular Vietnamese dish. A nice crispy Baguette with soft interior had stuffing of pork, sweet n sour sauce, cucumber and assorted veggies. A nice sandwich but I was a little bit disappointed with its size.
Both the drinks were refreshing in the hot weather and accompanied the food well.
The total bi was Rs. 1750/- which is really reasonable considering the authenticity and quality of food you get served here. This 16-18 seater place is managed by a Vietnamese couple who serve their patrons with dedication and love. A must must try place if you are in the vicinity and in a mood to try something new.
Highly Recommended!!!
A very small but popular place as evidenced by the crowd on a Monday night. We ordered spring rolls, prawns with lemongrass and a rice noodle salad. Food was fresh and quite outstanding. A far cry from the generic Asian food served almost everywhere else. The only quibble I have-portions were very small for the prices charged. Am still going back for more though!
Stopped by for a quick snack between chores. Run by a Vietnamese couple, it’s easy to miss this tiny joint for its inconspicuous presence in the market.
I liked the flavours I found here - a little thought on the ambience and overall appeal could really take them places!
The food at Little Saigon is extremely delicious. It’s fresh, tasty, healthy and the flavours too are amazing. One of my favourite restaurants in Delhi :)
Woahhhh. Please try the Mango Salad and and the summer roll and the pancake and just about everything!!!! The flavours and hospitality compensate for the lack of space. Also vegetarian friendly, which is nice.
Little Saigon is a small little place in the Haus Khas market. It's not easy to spot, you may require the GPS.
Also, as the cafe is really small and can't accommodate more than 4 tables at once, there is generally a queue, so you might want to book a table beforehand.
Coming to the food, we ordered:
1) Vietnamese coffee with iced jelly - 5/5!
It's the best coffee I've had. It's a must try for anyone visiting the cafe.
2) Pho Ga - 5/5
These soupy noodles were really yum, even though they didn't look as appetizing in the first look.
3) Vietnamese grilled fish - 4.5/5
4) Mekong chicken - 5/5
I simply loved the chicken and the spice added to it. Great preparation.
The food here is amazing, though the ambience and the seating are a sure let down! But hey who cares? Till you get great food. #yummyinmytummy
Ever since Fatty Bao closed, there has been a South Asian food shaped void in Delhi for me, but this place more than makes up for it. Love it. But it is also everything Fatty Bao is not. It's tiny, it's warm, it smells like the food it serves, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. And it isn't pretending to pan-Asian or pan-anything. Unpretentious, wholesome, tasty food.
This place is, as the name suggests, a little place serving authentic Vietnamese cuisine; cooked and served by a friendly Vietnamese couple! What more could you ask for?! The rice roll platters, yellow curry, pork brazier - all items we tried were fantastic. Make sure to book your table in advance.

Little Saigon is not a haunt I'd frequent, if I was to only go by its looks. Located in Hauz Khas , it's a blink-and-miss kind of a joint. I'd heard they had great Vietnamese, though, so I thought I'd check it out.
This place doesn't give a good first impression. Leaving aside the lackluster ambience, this place smells a little (until your nose gets used to it). It's a deterrent to having food there. BUT.
The food itself is amazing. Apparently, the guys here source all their ingredients from Vietnam, so they serve pretty much absolutely authentic Vietnamese food. The staff here is extremely helpful and made some really good suggestions. The portion sizes here aren't too big but again, the place itself isn't very expensive.
To start with, my friends and I had their rolls with shrimp and meat, and it was unlike anything I've ever had. The rolls were so delicious that we ended up ordering many more dishes! On the recommendation of the staff, we got steamed rice with yellow fish curry. I love yellow curries and this one was particularly wonderful. The next dish the staff recommended was rice noodles with prawns in a light curry, and those were absolutely lovely as well (no picture because we ate it before we could remember to click any!). We rounded off the meal with steamed rice rolls stuffed with chicken and vegetables. Not a lick of grain was left on the dishes once we were done with the food!
To drink, we ordered an artichoke iced tea, which, while a little low on flavour, was really good with all the spice we were consuming. Their calamansi fruit juice with ginger was fantastic too. I don't particularly like ginger, but it went quite well with the drink!
Overall, a hell yeah to this place! I'd suggest you get the food packed for take-away, though, but two thumbs up for the food!

When I returned from Vietnam I often craved for Pho and when a friend told me about this place about two years ago I went running. Since then I have brought a lot of my friends along with me to savor the authentic taste of Vietnamese Pho. Since the chef is from Vietnam the authenticity is promised and delivered. It a very small junction with 4 tables so make sure you either book your table or reach ahead of time else you'll end up waiting in queue( totally worth it).
Excellent food, service, and value! Very hard to find authentic foriegn food anywhere in Delhi, let along Vietnamese. Best Vietnamese ived had, and I've visited the country. A real treat.

Being a food lover I only watch tv shows on cooking and being a professional travel consultant I try to watch those cooking shows that take me to new places! On Sunday night, Living Foods channel was showing this American cook / traveller in Hanoi eating the best and most local street food and going crazy over this Vietnamese coffee which has condensed milk n egg white! So it had me drooling all day and I kept looking for something very authentic and not fancy serving me some kickass local Vietnamese food in Delhi. As it usually happens, every Asian cuisine place boasts to have some dishes from each part of south east Asia but I wanted some place which would give me totally authentic Vietnamese food. While speaking to the husband about it over a few drinks n explaining how disappointed I was that I couldn’t get what I wanted, he told me about this small little place run by ex Taj head chef.
We called Little Saigon and asked if they would serve us at 9.45 as the timings clearly mentioned that it shuts at 10pm. Chef Haana very politely waited for us to reach and served us!
Oh My God! I am yet to come out of the food coma that I am in!
Her recommendations were bang on.
It was as if I was in that tv show myself, trotting the streets of Saigon and eating the most delicious food to satiate my soul!
I don’t think I could rate each dish separately as each dish deserves a standing ovation!
A must must must visit!
Beautiful food and super fast service. It's a small place tucked away in front of the park at Hauz Khas market. Little Saigon is sure to put a smile on your face.
Recommended:
Red seafood curry(Prawn) with rice noodles
Roasted pork with spicy soy sauce 👌
The ambience and space needs more work, but 5 stars for the enterprise and cosy feel.

It was a few days before I was to leave Delhi for good, and I was thinking about all the things I’d wanted to do there, but had not been able to do. One of them was having a meal at Little Saigon. The reason why this particular place was so special was because I’d be pushing myself out of my comfort zone trying this exotic new cuisine at a place which served largely non-vegetarian food.
It’s so small that it was a little hard to find it, but when we did, it was closed. Disappointed, we’d almost turned away when the owner showed up and said that the place will be ready to serve by 6 pm. It was going to be almost an hour’s wait. But, that did not become a deterrent. We sat in the car listening to music.
At 6, the place opened. We quickly took a table and placed an order for fresh summer rolls and crispy southern spring rolls because those looked like safe choices. In about 15 minutes, the food arrived. Everyone jumped on the crispy rolls because they looked familiar, but they were hesitant about the summer rolls - perhaps it was the texture of the rice paper. Any way, we tried those and my god! they were delicious. The closest I can come to comparing them is with sushi. They rice paper was soft and chewy but the veggies inside were fresh and crispy.
Feeling more confident, we ordered the Vietnamese pancakes and the noodle salad, both of which we enjoyed so much that we repeated our order. The salad with its sauces, fresh veggies, cold noodles and peanuts was particularly good. I also ordered the Vietnamese coffee with glass jelly - it was sweet, milk, strong and delicious. We also went for the coconut ice cream with glass jelly. Loved the flavour of the fresh coconut in the ice cream and the fact that it wasn’t like a sorbet.
We had a fantastic experience and it’s become one of my favourite places now. Look forward to going back when I’m in Delhi.
This was my first experience with Vietnamese food and it was a good beginning the restro is run by a very sweet Vietnamese lady and her husband i think. I felt like i was in Saigon because all the seating arrangements and table setup. ( you ask how do i know the feel of saigon yes i have never been there but veitnaam is on my to go list so have watched lot of videos of there so i know tje feel.) Coming to food i ordered vegetables pho and veg pancake and spring rolls i must say it was good.
Spring rolls were very herby. And so was vegetable pan cake but the thing that stole the show for me was the pho( its pronounced pha not pho btw )
It was warm noodles were chewy and socked the broth well . i don't know there type but they were good.
All n all very good experience.

This little restaurant in Hauz Khas can easily be missed. Not with any fancy board outside to inform customers, it has captured the attention of people just by the way it serves authentic Vietnamese food. At the face of it, it seems very ordinary with three hats adorning the walls and providing for a twelve people seating. If you’re a first timer you’ll probably wonder what the hue and cry was all about till you settle down and give it a try cos “ We’ll you’re there so you better eat” The food at Little Saigon is phenomenal. We ordered the braised pork in clay pot, milk coffee with glass jelly and cari chay with com trang. The braised pork in clay pot is a flavourful soupy curry with tender pieces of meat in it. Sticky rice portions were served in small bowls so one needs to order Perhaps one per person. The Cari chay was loaded with hearty vegetables and cooked in a savoury sauce infused with curry spices, rich coconut milk and aromatic lemon grass. Loved it! It’s a must visit little gem in the Hauz khas market.
Really prompt service, and super nice staff. Ordered the pho and Mekong chicken. The pho was a 10/10. Will definitely go to little Saigon again in the near future :)

Humble setting with a super talented lady chef owner who had me amazed with each bite of each item that I’d ordered during my first visit. My order included :
Vietnamese Iced Coffee - the best iced coffee I’ve ever had, and the chef makes it with authentic Vietnamese coffee, unlike other coffee brands who blend condensed milk with cold brew coffee and call it “Vietnamese”. The coffee comes with these amazing gelatin (?) and coffee mix squares which adds an amazing layer of texture to the drink.
Cari Ga - AMAZING chicken gravy made with sweet potatoes
Summer rolls - For the first time in my life I ate something which completely surprised me with its taste and texture and I was left quizzed, I couldn’t guess what all went into the rolls. Chef then explained to me that each roll has a piece of mint and basil in it, which adds the freshness and the crunch. I would highly recommend this dish to everyone who goes to Little Saigon for the first time.
However, my second visit to the outlet was not as memorable, mostly because of chatty visitors and a pork dish that I’d ordered. But I would definitely visit Little Saigon time again for another dose of surprise in my dinner. Cheers and respect to chef for single handedly doing everything at the outlet.
This is one of the best Vietnamese restaurant in Delhi . Place not so fancy but food is authentic! Small cute and cozy place but must try the fresh summer rolls grilled chicken and refreshing ginger iced drink .
Great food. The lady chef usually decides what one should eat... feel free to just surrender! It is a very small place and make sure you book a place in advance
Cute little place with awesome food. Seafood pho is a must try. Pork lovers should try the roast pork belly.
Will try prawn sauteed and braised pork next time. So perfect, so yumm!
My friend being a great fan of Vietnamese food, we planned to visit this little saigon .The place have just few tables . Which makes it more special as its very warm and homely . We ordered summer roll, pho ( vegetarian ) and vegetables in pancake . The food was delicious . Have very in-depth flavour and a fresh taste .the basil plays a big role in vietnamese food . The taste of basil was very well balanced , so that it dosnt overpower the other ingredients. The broth of pho was my fav. And so was the ginger juice beverage in there menu .
Went there a few days ago and had a very very good first experience. We ordered the fresh summer rolls with shrimp and meat, they were FANTASTIC. Then we followed it up with the chicken yellow curry with onions and sweet potato, it was such a good dish, the broth was to die for. We paired it with sticky rice, it was very good. For beverages we had the milk coffee with glass jelly and the calamasi fruit juice and I must say both those beverages were so different and so yum. I've never had a better coffee then this one. We had a great first experience here and will be back soon.
The Chef is a real star. My second time here and as happy as I was the first time. The chef recommended braised pork and traditional summer rolls. The prawns in lemongrass were the highlight of the visit. Must try despite the strong spice flavors.
Forget the ambience, forget the setting just focus on the food and you'll know you're in food heaven. Chef Hanna Ho, ex-Taj, cooks up a storm in that little eatery of hers and the ingredients are as fresh as they can get. You will feel the difference in taste just because of her ingredients and technique. The Pho is mind numbing. The pork dishes are fab fab fabulous. Each of the things we ate were nothing less than perfect.
You need to reserve before you go because, it is just a 10 seater. Despite its modest appearance, the food isn't cheap, but it's totally worth it.
Small, homely place with a limited menu but it guarantees authentic food. Service is quick and food is excellent. Will recommend going there if you’re in the mood for some Vietnamese food.
Absolutely wonderful food by chef hana ,everything was mind blowing ,the goi cuon Tom thit(rolls with shrimp and meat),Banh xeo nam bo(vietnamese pancake),ca nuong muoi ot(spicy grilled fish),thit heo quay(pork belly),Tom xao xa ot(prawn in lemongrass sauce), I mean everything was cooked from scratch and besides that we ordered moon cake,little Saigon coffee with glass jelly and calamansi fruit juice with ginger .the moon cake was tasty but a little bit dry so it was average and the beverages were so refreshing and excellent. I mean from my side there were no flaws in the dishes and the beverages but only the little letdown went with the moon cake which was not so bad . So can't wait to go back again to relish the amazing food by chef hana
Cutesy little place in Hauz Khas!
Went here with a friend. We ordered the summer rolls, yellow curry with sticky rice (heavenly! this dish made me so happy it felt like a warm hug) and veg pho (broth packed with so much flavour). Such a hearty meal! The flavours were perfect and very pleasing to the palate.
Definitely going back here.
Great food... Did not know there was good and Authentic Vietnamese food available in Delhi...
did take away this time ... But will certainly go back and eat there... The pho and the Vietnamese rolls were very flavourful... We also tried the pork belly..great flavours once again....
Can't wait to go back and try more off their interesting menu
The star of this place is Chef Hanna (pronounced yes-no in hindi 'haaan-na', as she very charmingly explained) who is ever smiling and super helpful! As recommended by her we had the shrimp rolls, roasted pork belly and the caramelized ginger chicken. Accompanied with sticky rice and a glass of gingered fruit juice. Brilliant flavours and meats cooked to perfection. Strongly recommend it not only for the food but for the great spirit of hospitality that the place extends!

What a surprise this little place turned out to be! Vietnamese food at its best. Try the braised pork in clay pot / prawns in lemongrass / ginger chicken with sticky rice. Go for the working day lunch slot if you don’t want to wait. Heard that dinner slots and weekends run packed so plan in advance.
Fresh, authentic Vietnamese food in Delhi. My regular eating list
1. Veg Pho - broth is fresh with the right balance of spices, with good amount of veggies and noodles
2. Veg Summer rolls - yum! Once could gobble up a few plates
3. A ginger honey drink - nice and refreshing, however will not recommend if you are notinto sweet drinks
I have also had their veg curry which has turmeric and carrot with sticky rice, quite well made.
Highly recommend the place, the owners are nice and friendly.
This has got to be one of my favourite places to eat in Delhi - hands down! The food is absolutely delicious and smack-in-your-mouth flavorful! Hana is a genius in the kitchen and if you haven't been, you're missing out on the greatest meal that you can find in the city.
Things you must get
1. The Summer Rolls
2. Saigon Plating
3. Roasted Pork Belly 🤤🤤
4. Prawns in Lemongrass + Sticky Rice
5. Raw Mango Salad
6. Artichoke Iced Tea (I know what you're thinking. It's tastes better than it sounds)
You can thank me later 🙌🏽
PS. It's cash only, so go prepared. There's an ATM close by. If you're allergic to something/have a particular preference, just let her know before and she'll whip up some fun stuff for you to chow down :)
This week our honourable external affairs minister headed to Vietnam to further bilateral relations between our two countries. We being the upstanding citizens that we are, decided to build on her efforts and we headed to Little Saigon. A Vietnamese eatery so small it needs to expand to qualify for a hole in the wall status. In order to strengthen our delegation we also invited two special guests to join in our Jam Session, or maybe we did it so we could order more food :).
Omg! This place is amaaaazing! Best things comes in small packages! And its true for this place too! The staff is amazing! Really friendly.. And the food is something to die for!
And OHMYGOD, Their pork belly is something to die for! Even the pulled pork.. Visited this place on Friday and I have been craving to go back to this place since then.
Highly recommended AUTHENTIC VIETNAMESE FOOD! You will love it here if u love Vietnamese food.

It's the smallest little restaurant in town, but great things often come in small packages. This chef driven Vietnamese Joint is a must visit for South East Asian food lovers, decently priced and amazingly flavorful, the fare being doled out of this family run establishment is delicious. The veg pho was a disappointment though, but then veg pho! Seriously.
The DIY pork lettuce roll platter was yum, it was actually going back to the kitchen as a table besides us said they never ordered it, I was in the middle of my lunch and couldn't see this beautiful bamboo platter with fresh mint and basil going back. The minced pork patties were so moist, that I literally thanked that table. The pork ribs were nice, crispy and juicy. The vegetarian rice sheet spring rolls were bursting with those fresh herb flavors you find on the streets of Saigon. The fried chicken spring rolls were nice too. Sadly they can't do beef and they won't do buff. I hope they would get a larger space soon. Thank you Little Saigon for bringing back those fond memories of the big Saigon
Heard a lot about this place, finally visited a couple of days back. It's a small outlet in Huaz Khas market with 4 tables tucked in.
The owners were polite and seem very passionate about their food. They refuse to home deliver because the transit time will spoil the flavors of the food!!! Wao..
We ordered a clear soup, GA Kho Gung with sticky rice on recommendation.
The dishes were literally bursting with authentic flavors. The portion sizes were perfect and made for a bloody fantastic meal.
They graciously offerered a second helping of soup since they saw me polishing up the soup pretty quick :)
Kudos to the team.
Put up this place in your must visit list!!
Excellent Food only place is small requires a big place the cold coffee is out of the world and the food is vfm excellent food deserves another visit
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Never been to Vietnam, so don't know how authentic Little Saigon is. That said, the food was really tasty. The braised pork in clay pot was a nice soupy curry with tender sliced meat in it. Like soul food on a rainy day. The stir fried jumbo prawns was loaded with flavours unknown to my palate but was really delicious. The shrimp and meat summer roll, apparently a favourite, was interesting but kind of underwhelming. Then again, we didn't know what to expect. It was served cold and was supposed to be had with a dash of fish oil kept on the table. The ginger ale type drink was refreshingly sour and sweet with a kind of zing in it.
It's a very small place. Imagine the little space under a staircase, only slightly bigger. Small tables. Small, quarter plates. Sticky rice portions are served in small serving plates so you need to order multiple of those.
Service was unusually fast for a restaurant. Faster even by fast-food standards. Maybe because they're constantly trying to free up tables to accommodate more and more. Being a Friday the place was full with people coming in with reservation. The hosts were a smiling, although very busy, duo. Must visit for the food. Can take away or order home delivery also to escape the rush.
PS: Some Bollywood actor who plays older characters was there eating with friends. The clientele is upmarket South Delhi type. Reasonable rates. We paid 1500 for our stuff. Three people ate. Also, thet don't accept cards.
I have tried Pho Thap Cam and Tra Atisoo both are nice, it was spicy for me first so they gave me another one. I think they are all one family, quite and casual place away from buzz of market.
Superfantastique food, great prices, excellent communication, prompt and timely home delivery.
Too good. Would recommend to foodies and first time Triers too.
Stick to the English on the menu, don't try the Vietnamese language, they pronounce very differently.
This is a cute little place at hauz khaz. If you wanna try Vietnamese cuisine you are good to go. Well I don't remember exact names but we had rolls for the starters.
And in main course had Cari hai sun, a seafood curry which was quite delicious which was served with sticky rice. And in the drinks we had iced tea and cold coffee which had some different flavors, which were nice btw. People there, are polite, nice and hard working. Trying their best to give us an amazing service.
This place is a wonderful hole in the wall. It has limited tables (12 seats) and can fill up quickly. Great food. Taste pork belly. The focus is on good food. Surprised that they permit outside food when they have limited seats.
A very small eatery with just 4 tables, this one is always a favourite when I'm craving for soul food. They have very less items in the menu but ALL the items are worth trying. I've been to this place atleast 5 times and have never been disappointed with the food. Their spring rolls, pho, braised pork in soy, minced pork, their fish are all so delicious, I keep going back. And the hostess is one welcoming and friendly person. Thank you little Saigon
Visited this little place recently and let me tell you, this place serves the best Roasted Pork ever!
Though the seating area is a bit small, the food will not disappoint you at all. This was the first time I was trying Vietnamese cuisine, and I won't lie, the taste felt a little on the sweeter side in regard to the starters. But boy, when the mains came, it blew my taste buds away.
In food: Cari Hai San (Spicy Seafood Red Curry), Bun Thit Nuong (Fresh Rice Noodle Salad), Mon Ngon Saigon (Little Saigon Plating), and Thit Heo Quay (Roasted Pork Belly)
In drinks: Nuoc Tac Gung (Calamansi Fruit Juice with Ginger), and Nuoc Suoi (Mineral Water) 😝

I am definitely visiting again, solely for the Roasted Pork, the taste of which still lingers in my mouth!
A treasure in the wall kind of place. The owners are extremely friendly, and the food not only tastes incredible, it also feels warm and nourishing. Perhaps, because it comes from a heartfelt place —a true Delhi gem that deserves to be recognised as such.
This place is a gem. Tucked away in Hauz Khas market this is a great place to go for Vietnamese food. The restaurant is small, and you can see your food being cooked in the kitchen. We had the clay pot pork, a veg noodle salad, and coconut ice cream. The definite highlight was the pork, however everything else was equally tasty. Flavorful, light, and scrumptious. This is one of our new favorite places in South Delhi and we will be back soon!
I'll say it. I'm a fan. Amaaaazing food. Warm staff. Fantastic chef who takes the time to help you decide your order. We had the roasted chicken, The Mango Salad and the braised pork with some of their famous iced coffee. The flavours just blew us away. It is however a small setup with very limited seating and no frills. But if you can get past that, you're in for a wonderful culinary experience. Advise that you call ahead and book your table in advance.
This little shack in Hauz Khas Market serves the most authentic Vietnamese cuisine you can find in Delhi! Must try include:
Mon Ngon Saigon - A signature platter with pork patties, tomatoes, rice noodles, fish sauce, to be eaten wrapped in lettuce
Goi Cuon Tom Thit - Succulent shrimp & meat rolls
Cha Gio Ga - Crispy chicken rolls
Cari Ga- Yellow chicken curry eaten with Bun aka rice noodles
Nuoc Tac Gung - refreshing fruit juice with ginger
Fine flavours and concise menu; just the right combination for a no fuss evening. We gobbled so quickly that forgot to take pictures of some dishes.
Having been to Vietnam and going gaga over the food there, stumbling upon Little Saigon in vicinity was sort of winning the treasure hunt!
Half a point less for the ambience, which definitely can do with a facelift.
A small Vietnamese place which has just 4 tables and can be easily missed, so you really have to look for it. The ambience can definitely be improved.
Tried their Mon Ngo Saigon which was a plate of fresh lettuce, basil, mint leaves, tomatoes, rice noodles and pork which was supposed to be had wrapped together with their fish sauce.
The pork had a great flavor and really nice texture but the dish as a whole seemed kind of expensive for its worth, though it was definitely filling!
We also tried their Ga Kho Gung which is caramelized ginger chicken, with sticky rice, which had a good flavor and was spicy and well cooked!
The service was polite, cheery and helpful!
I love this restaurant. all their food is excellent but heir prawns in lemon grass are to die for with sticky rice. another must order are the summer rolls.
A hole in the wall, tiny establishment with oodles of authentic Vietnamese flavour (or so I assume since I have never been to Vietnam). Keep a look out when you reach the market for this place because it is so tiny that it can easily be missed.
Decor is simple, with just 3 tables which are mostly full so remember to make a booking earlier. Take the chef's recommendations for food if you're unsure.
We tried some delicious food including:
shrimp rolls, pork and lettuce wraps, stir fried prawns in lemongrass and a braised fish in chilli pepper sauce with some sticky rice.
This is my happy place.
Little Saigon has a south Delhi cult following after bpb reviewed it. that doesn't detract from the restaurant of course.
the food here always tastes fresh and is a welcome break from heavy indian flavours. Asian food lovers, beware that pho here is chicken pho, for obvious reasons. only thing is portions are a bit tiny and i, as a big eater, come here only when I'm in the mood for something light.
So glad I discovered this cute little place. It’s run by a Vietnamese couple and the flavours and brilliantly authentic. It seats about 12 people at a time but the food and the service is just so lovely. Will be going back very soon.

This place absolutely delivers quality. It's worth visiting. Restaurants with single or 2 page menu emphasis on food. Except for ice tea, every meal is top class. It's little high on price(few might argue otherwise). Seating is an issue but in the end it's worth waiting. If your non veg craving starts and ends with chicken ,then don't visit. Such places are about tasting pork, prawn and fish. Loved the spices.
Undoubtedly one of the best and most authentic Vietnamese restaurant in south Delhi.The menu is a bit complicated for people unfamiliar with Vietnamese cuisine and it's advisable to take suggestions from the hosts .The good is freshly prepared and not at all heavy on your pockets.This place is worth a visit.Do try their milk coffee,Tom xa xao ot, chicken Cari ga
Adorable little hole in the wall. Clean, simple interiors, a short menu and truly incredible food.
Ask them to help you pick a dish based on your spice tolerance level and you should be good to go.
This place is as authentic as it gets - the bun cha & the cold coffee were exactly like in Vietnam. The staff is the MVP, good vibes all over 🌞
I was intrigued by an article published on Indian Express about Chef Hana Ho a little more than a year ago, and had bookmarked Little Saigon on Zomato. Little did I know that my tryst with Blue Ginger, Taj Hotel (which is the first restaurant that I had covered on my Instagram page years ago) would sort of come back to me and I would visit the very restaurant whose chef had served me some of the best delicacies at Blue Ginger all those ages ago. Full circles.
Quaint little place serving some amazing food! Must try the caramelised chicken with sticky rice and the coconut ice cream! Definitely recommended
Owned by the cutest and friendliest couple, their service is amazing!
Food is super quick and delicious!
Highly recommend their veitnamese ice coffee
Small unassuming little place. But, authentic Vietnamese food. Reminded me of my trip there a couple of years ago. Might be a little unusual for the uninitiated. But absolutely worth it!
Very nice little restaurant. Gives you the feeling of having home cooked meal. We tried ginger chicken and spicy fish curry, both were quite yummy. Strongly recommended.
Lovely Vietnamese food. The deconstructed salad with pork patties, lettuce, basil, glass noodles and tomatoes was a burst of flavour and very filling! The pho was flavourful. We ordered a main dish of ginger chicken and sticky rice - the portion size was less and the taste wasn’t quite at par with the salad and soup. We have that a miss, on to the dessert of coconut ice cream and coffee jelly. Rounded off with strong and sweet Vietnamese coffee. Personal attention and fresh food in cosy place.
Was thinking of visiting this place for a long time and finally I made it 😀 . Although it’s not a difficult place to locate but prior booking is must since it’s a small joint with few tables. I ordered for Sticky Rice, Prawn, Bun thit Nuong and Thit heo Kho Tieu. All the dishes were served quickly. As far as the taste is concerned I only liked the Thit Heo Kho Tieu which is Braised Pork in clay pot, although I asked for very spicy but it was not spicy at all. Being a Naga I eat spice to the next level 😀 . Altogether it was a good experience.

I was stupid enough (and hungry enough) to not take photos because I would have loved to show the way they presented it as well. But that kept aside, the food at Little Saigon was wonderful. It is a quaint place which gives a very cosy vibe and the people at the restaurant are possibly the sweetest people you'll ever meet.
I would suggest that one gets reservations before they get to the place because there are only a few tables. And have a glance at a couple of the tables - they have been upcycled from sewing machines!
Over to the food - we have Pho Ga and Pho Thap Cam, both of which were extremely comforting in this cold weather. For people used to very flavorful soup, this might seem bland. We, however, loved it.
The Banh Cuon Nhan Thit or the steamed rice cake stuffed with chicken was so interesting to put in my mouth mainly because of the texture. Their fish sauce went really well with this, however this was probably the lesser liked dish than all the others.
The Ca Nuong Muoi Ot or the spicy grilled fish Saigon style was wonderful.
Our absolute favourite was the Thit Heo Kho Tieu or the braised pork in claypot. This can get quite spicy but the flavours are also very refreshing. Coupled with some sticky rice this pork was to die for!
I am so glad I found this place because now I can't wait to have my regular Pho and pork here. This place is a must-try!
Homely place for amazing Vietnamese food. This is probably the only exclusively Vietnamese place in NCR.
Food is great in both the quality and taste. The proprietor/chef is also very sweet and helps you out in picking the dish you may want to eat.
Authentic food, amazing flavours and a friendly hospitable chef. Book a table in advance, be generous with the fish sauce and make sure to try the Little Saigon plating and the lemongrass prawns.

Amazing food. It was a little restaurant but the host were amazing people. Would come here again ... Felt like home. Since the food served was the right kind of spicy and the amount filled us and made us very happy. 😄
The food is amazing. After having lived in Vietnam for over 15years, I feel this is the most authentic place here in Delhi. Found this last year when I was craving pho ga. The food is fresh, cooked properly without and remixes like how restaurants do here and most of its yummy and always served with a smile. Amazing food and service. Must go place. Infact we will be going today as my dads here from Hcmc.
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
Small place with the best Vietnamese food we have ever had. The chef is very friendly.
Recommend making reservations since the place is always full
Top of the town!✅️✅️✅️
Found this shop for mooncake selling and they are able to arrange and help on delivery to my superior in Delhi.
I am impressed on their service as response is instant and easy to deal. Seller is very friendly😍😍
I am not local but hope one day I can visit them in actual and try their food.
Kudos to the team! Thank you so much.🫶🫶🫶 i wish your business always good and steady!
A bit late on the review, tried this place last year with my family in delhi! The food outlives the size of this place! Must try for authentic Vietnamese cuisine! Everything is cooked fresh in the kitchen for you! The homely place is run by a Vietnamese couple and they are very friendly! My fav were the fresh prawn summer rolls and banh mee ! At that time they were also providing delivery service!
A cute little cafe place with a limited but yet diverse menu.
You may reach the location through google maps but yet miss to locate the cafe, but know that its on ground floor and look for green walls/pillar in the market place. (Its next door to Fort City Brewing)
A humble establishment with extremely authentic vietnamese cuisines. The food is made to order and the chef recommends and also inquires on the spicy levels.
Overall A+ for food. The ambience may not be for everyone's liking.
This place was in my go to list for a very long time. It's a small restaurant which serves amazing and authentic Vietnamese food.
As soon as you'll enter, you'll be greeted by the owner. She's a really sweet lady, very polite and she also recommended us some very delicious dishes.
Food itself was mouthwatering and perfectly cooked. We ordered chicken and shrimp pho, fresh summer rolls with shrimp and meat, steamed rice cake stuffed with chicken, and artichoke iced tea. Pho was the star of the show. It had a beautiful flavour, and adding a little bit of chilli oil elevated it a lot. Summer rolls were delicious as well, and so were the stuffed rice cakes.
Really loved the place and would love to try their other dishes.
Highly recommend it.
Food: 5/5
Service: 5/5
The place is very small with 3tables only and closes by 9:30pm. The food is amazing, owner is super courteous, friendly and helps in making food choices. They have authentic Vietnamese food including soups,salads, baguette, rice bowls(pork/chicken/veg), dumplings. Very limited beverage menu but Vietnamese cold coffee is must try and so are moon cakes. Fish food options are available too.
Had heard about this little Vietnamese place many times and finally got to visit it. It is really a hole in the wall, you can almost miss it. If you're really hell bent on a beautiful looking place to eat then sadly it's not for you. It is a very small place with just 3-4 tables.
Coming to the food, I loved it. It was delicious and made to perfection. The owner/cook asked us for our spice preference and she made it just the way we like. We even had the cold coffee, it was also yumm (I actually thought it's hot coffee but it turned out cold, nevertheless we loved it). And the spring rolls were my favourite.
The only thing I feel can be better is either the quantity or the price. The price was high (though the food was great) but then the portion should be a little more. The prices were like that of a big restaurant. If that wasn't the case, it'd have given 5 star rating to it.
If your looking for authentic Vietnamese Food this is a place you should go😎🥘
We started with Bahn Mi (pork) which is similar to subway with a crispier bread followed by Tom Xao Xa Ot (spicy lemongrass prawns) if you like spicy salty food this is a good choice. Though the food seems of less quantity, still it was quite filling. For drinks we tried Nuon Tac Gung (fruit juice with ginger) has quite a refreshing taste, however, there was too much ice in the drink🥺 which i'm not a fan of. As for dessert we had Durian cake which was tender and tasty, however the quantity was quite less, I couldn't get enough of it.😇
The service was quite fast, the food was tasty, only if they renovate a little it would be a cute little restaurant in Hauz Khas with 2 really adorable and sleepy dogs😂🐾
I feel very lucky to have come to this place. It's located right in the center so it's easy to find. The food and drinks are very delicious, of which I especially love Pho, the taste is very satisfying. The owner is a kind, lovely friend and an excellent chef. This is a restaurant you must definitely visit if you want to enjoy Vietnamese food in the heart of New Delhi.
One of the best, if not the best place in Delhi, for Vietnamese food. Would highly recommend listening to aunty's recommendations, she suggests the food best suited to your dietary preferences, allergies etc. The dumpling is spectacular, as are the pork ribs (a staple for me each time I visit). Also must try their coffee and whatever dessert happens to be on the menu. Book a table with them beforehand if it's a large group, and it will be a meal to remember.
This is probably the most unassuming place you can go to for some great meals. Blink and you may miss it. However for those who are lucky to know and have are there; this tiny joint which can maybe sit just about 12 people comfortably is actually very big on authenticity of flavors and extreme freshness of ingredients.
Highly recommend.
The only real and authentic Vietnamese in India. Little Saigon is a delightful hole in the wall. It's so small that it's very easy to miss. But don't miss it. Follow Google maps and you are in for a treat. The food is fresh and delicious. Chef Hannah is a treat. She is friendly and wants all her guests to have a great meal. Be prepared to wait for a table over weekends and in the evening. Everything at the restaurant from the curries to noodle salads and pho and summer rolls are great. I am not a big fan of their BahnMi, but that could just be me.
Highly recommend Little Saigon to anyone in or passing through New Delhi.
amazing food 10/10 😍
chicken spring rolls were the best I've had!
pork rice was incredible
pho was very nice too.
What a find. Who can expect Vietnamese food in Delhi in such a setting! The place has a strong fish sauce smell as you enter but one gets used to it after a while. Ordered yellow veg curry, summer rolls -- nothing great. But the fish curry and veg noodle salad were spot on... full of flavour... the Calamansi juice was good too.. need to visit again to sample rest of the menu.
Certainly a hidden gem which I discovered lately. Not very familiar with Vietnamese cuisine however loved every dish served on our table. Other than the appetizing dishes, one thing which was the highlight was the warm hospitality of the people managing this place. Visited this on warm summer weekend and easily found a table. The spring roles (the fresh ones) and the ginger caramallized chicken, served with sticky rice were fabulous. Certainly coming back!
If you're looking for soul food, this is where it's cooked.
Mouthwatering pork ribs. The rice paper rolls are a must have. Everything I've tasted is absolutely beautiful to the eyes and tongue.
Quick service for the hungry. Food was beyond delicious besides which, our host and chef was most gracious and welcoming. I really wanted to give her a hug.
But do call before going, they're often full.
Food was damn fresh and healthy...Service is fast...No ambience...little heavy on pockets as the quantity served is very less...expect around 2500 to 3000rs for two people...No card payment system..only cash...Chicken Pho, Fish, and Cold Coffee are must try items...Would advise veg people to avoid as they wud not like prawns and fish smell predominantly present in dinning area...Highly recommend this place 😊👍
The Chef does most the things herself. The food is the best. The atmosphere she creates is something completely different that you will not experience any where else. There are things that can be improved but I'm not complaining.
Superb food. I Tried the braised pork in claypot and prawns with lemongrass. Both of them were easily among the tastiest things I have eaten in a long time. The chef is also very nice. However the ambience and service of the place is really poor which stops me from giving it a 5/5.
