Le Petit Sao

Was looking for a nice but casual stop to fuel up after a long ride by the river. This place is nestled in the back out of the sight of the main strip mall area. I had the island bowl & the ice tea daiquiri with its pandan flavour. All were delicious. Servings were huge.

I ordered a bowl of vermicelli with grilled pork, & honestly, it was absolutely terrible. I'm Vietnamese, & I couldn't even recognize it as Vietnamese food.

The pork was cut into very large chunks & was marinated far too salty. The rice vermicelli wasn't cooked long enough, so it was still too firm. The fish sauce was extremely sour & tasted like it had way too much lime juice.

The photo on the menu clearly showed that the vermicelli bowl came with spring rolls, but when my grilled pork vermicelli was served, there weren't any spring rolls at all.

Overall, I've traveled all over the world, & as a Vietnamese person, I finished the meal without feeling like I had eaten Vietnamese food. I've honestly never been to any restaurant that cooked Vietnamese food as badly as this one. It was by far the worst Vietnamese meal I've ever had.

I told the server that it was my friend's birthday today, but she didn't even respond. She simply ignored what I said, had a blank, indifferent expression on her face, & didn't seem warm or welcoming at all. Her attitude made us feel completely unappreciated as customers.

Overall, this restaurant made me feel embarrassed for Vietnamese cuisine. As a Vietnamese person, I was genuinely disappointed. The food was nothing like authentic Vietnamese food, & the service was just as disappointing. It was a very unpleasant dining experience from beginning to end.

I've been to Le Petit Sao several times, & it never disappoints. Every visit is a reminder of why I love this place so much. The food is consistently fresh, vibrant, & bursting with flavor. 🌈🥢 Whether it's their rice bowls, noodle dishes, or crispy spring rolls, everything tastes homemade & thoughtfully prepared with high-quality ingredients.

Their to-go tofu & chicken sandwiches deserve a special mention - perfectly seasoned, incredibly fresh, & genuinely satisfying. You can truly taste the care & attention that goes into every single meal. 💚

On top of that, the atmosphere is cozy & welcoming, & the staff is always friendly & kind, which makes the experience even better. All in all, it's easily one of my favorite spots on the island & hands down one of the best Vietnamese restaurants around. Highly recommended! 🇻🇳✨

Finally got to try le petit Sao after tennis at Nuns Island. Located at the end of the Nuns Island mall,it is not an easy place to find. However the vibe inside the restaurant is as easy going as the location is not Vietnamese common basic cooking, the Tokinoise soup was good,could have used more veggies & sprouts but was plentiful in quality chicken pieces.My partner tried the chicken bun bowl. Verdict very delicate. Service throughout was impressive with two capable women attending to all customers needs

In terms of food, everything was great. The clear broth was flavourful, the noodles were cooked perfectly & the grilled chicken was also amazing. I do believe however though that the grilled chicken submerged in the soup ruined it a bit. The crisp flavour & texture were not there anymore so I would have prefered if the chicken was on top or on the side. In terms of price, I do find it a bit expensive, 16,50$ for a large bowl & it wasn't that large. The service finally was very friendly. Our waiters were polite, smiling ans welcominy. They have a poster that say "Bun vibes only" & they certainly did emit that vibe.
