Reviews describe Le Petit Sao as offering fresh, vibrant dishes with a homemade feel, including rice bowls, noodles, crispy spring rolls, and to-go tofu and chicken sandwiches that are repeatedly praised for high quality ingredients and satisfying flavors. The atmosphere is consistently described as warm and welcoming, with attentive service on many visits that makes it feel like a favorite neighborhood spot. Some criticisms include a curry coconut chicken bowl that arrived not hot, occasional presentation issues, a limited menu, and dine-in service that can feel detached. A few reviewers note price concerns and that certain items such as pho or a bahn mi could be improved compared with other options. Overall, the reviews converge on solid food quality and friendly service, with many patrons eager to return.
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

J'ai commander sur ubereat les nems ils étaient vraiment bon .
Par contre le bahn mi au porc m'a coûter 18$ avant charge donc quasiment 25$.
J'avais genre 10 branche entière de coriandre qui faisait toute la longueur du sandwich beaucoup trop de sauce, alors le pain était mouillé .. y'avait pas de paté dedans, ce qui est quand même l'ingrédient principal .. des boulette de porc haché sans grand intérêt.. très déçu pour le prix ..
We recently ordered delivery from this restaurant, & it was an amazing experience! The grilled tofu was perfectly done, & all the dishes were absolutely delicious. The Imperial Roll was outstanding, & I honestly think this is one of the best options for vegetarians. That said, their meat & grilled dishes were also excellent. Highly recommend for anyone looking for high-quality, flavorful food!
Je suis une très grande amatrice de pho. Ça faisait longtemps que j'en entendais parler, surtout via Tastet. Ho très grande déception. À chaque bouché, je n'avais pas le sentiment que le bouillon était maison. Ce n'est pas parce qu'elle est au poulet qu'elle ne doit pas avoir les saveurs si particulières que l'on aime dans une pho. Autre point 7$ pour deux mini rouleaux, vraiment trop che
On a bien aimé!! Bonne bouffe, bon goût & bonne ambiance avec une musique peut-être un peu trop forte & les chiens qui jappent dans l'animalerie du centre d'achat adjacent gossent un peu pendant qu'on mange!! Mais la bouffe est bonne!

C'est bon, mais cher. Charger 4.80$ pour un extra de DEMI avocat & 7$ pour 2 morceaux de tofu en extra, c'est un peu prendre les gens pour des caves 🥴 (doordash)

Exceptionnel!!!!! C'est le seul restaurant ou payer 20$ pour un plat me fait plaisir... les légumes sont frais & variés & les sauces succulentes!!! Bravo🥰
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.
