Review Summary

Le Petit Sao draws praise for a cozy, welcoming vibe, generous portions and affordable prices, with menu highlights like pho, bun bowls and banh mi that readers find fresh, flavorful and satisfying. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and helpful, and the atmosphere is often noted as charming and well suited for a casual meal or lunch with friends. The food quality is widely regarded as strong, with standout items such as chicken pho, grilled chicken banh mi, fresh spring rolls and a creamy pandan dessert, and gluten free options are appreciated by those who need them. On the other hand, some reviews point to service hiccups like missing drinks, notes not appearing on tickets, and occasional miscommunications about toppings. A few diners also mention temperature issues in the dining room when doors open and the air conditioning runs. Still, the overall impression is solid value, friendly service, and a reliable, enjoyable Vietnamese meal in a lively setting, with many reviewers indicating they would return.

If you're looking for something fresh & tasty, don't miss the opportunity to try this restaurant!

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality & flavor of the dishes. Everything was delicious & the portions were more than enough for two people.

The drinks were also great & they paid attention to our request of few ice.

Just OK. Broth is not particularly tasty. Asked for poached chicken with my Pho, got grilled chicken, instead. Fresh spring rolls were so-so; accompanying peanut sauce didn't have much peanut flavor.

Always wanted to try this spot! Absolutely love what they did with the interior, & the food was amazing! Very colourful vermicelli bowls with tasty grilled meats. They also happened to play my favourite genre of music, so it felt personalized by coincidence!

I'm vegan, my friend is gluten free with many intolerances & our waitress was really sweet about it & made sure everything was ok for us ! She was able to suggest 2 personalized bowls with vegan sauce & she made sure all ingredients were ok according to our diets. Really good experience & the food was tasty:) I'd really like to taste the pho but they use chicken broth tho🥲 so not possible. I'd suggest using veggie broth so the veggie one would actually be vegan:) thanks !

I changed my review to 4 stars,
I went back with another friend cause she really want to try this restaurant.
& surprisingly, this time, service, cocktails & food were very good.
Staffs are super friendly. Everything came at the right timing. I would come back with other friends next time.

(Three stars review): Heard about this place from a influencer on instagram. So I went to this restaurant with a friend. & the food was not bad. (But I got a bit of stomachache & diarrhea when I got home). & I didn't eat anything before going to this restaurant. So I'm not sure if it was the salad which wasn't very fresh, other condiments or the grilled chicken with the curry sauce...
The cocktails, I would say it wasn't very constant. The first sangria that I ordered was very tasty & then I ordered a second one (it tasted very strong alcohol in it). I don't know if they were using a measuring tool or not.
My friend got a banh mi sandwich. She said it was tasty.
Not sure if I would like to come back.
