J'aime beaucoup ce petit resto local pourtant hier soir, j'y ai mangé un bol curry coco au poulet qui etait décevant, pas chaud...& quand j'ai demandé qu'on le rechauffe, ils ont ajouté une tonne de sauce pas chaude!
Deux rouleaux dans un mini panier en plastique, difficile d'offrir une pire présentation. Quel changement ! Avez-vous changé de cuisinier?
J'espère ne plus revivre une telle deception!

Excellente expérience ! Le bol de l'Île est vraiment délicieux, je pourrais en manger tous les jours. Le service est tout aussi top : Hashim & Sarah ont été adorables, attentifs & très professionnels. On se sent vraiment bien accueilli. Je recommande à 100 % & j'ai déjà hâte de revenir !
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! 🇻🇳✨
I've been to Le Petit Sao several times & it never disappoints! The food is consistently fresh, colorful, & full of flavor. I've tried many dishes - from their rice & noodle bowls to their spring rolls - & everything tastes homemade with quality ingredients.
Their tofu & chicken sandwiches to go are also amazing - perfectly seasoned, fresh, & super satisfying. You can really taste the care they put into every meal. The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, & the staff is always friendly. Definitely one of my favorite spots on the island! 🌿🥢
La nourriture est tout simplement délicieuse - des saveurs authentiques, des plats toujours frais & parfaitement équilibrés. Un vrai voyage culinaire à chaque bouchée !
Mais ce qui rend vraiment l'endroit unique, c'est Haschim, le manager. Sa présence, son accueil chaleureux & son attention aux détails rendent l'ambiance 100 fois meilleure. On sent qu'il aime ce qu'il fait, & ça fait toute la différence.
Un endroit où on revient encore & encore, autant pour la bouffe que pour le service exceptionnel
Hashim est tout simplement le meilleur ! Toujours souriant, professionnel & tellement gentil. Il prend toujours le temps d'aider ma famille & moi à choisir quoi manger & il rend l'expérience tellement agréable. On sent qu'il aime ce qu'il fait & ça fait toute la différence. Merci pour ton excellent service, Hashim ! 🙌
Would not recommend at all. It's a sit-down restaurant where you order your food at the pass, take whatever drink you want to buy from the fridge, & bring it to your table along with your utensils that you grab from a tray. They just drop your food off at the table & don't do any checkbacks. Then you bring your dirty dishes & utensils back to the pass. The service is unattentive & detached. It feels like a fancy cafeteria. $50 bucks for 2 sandwiches & two drinks, plus tip isn't worth it.. The menu is also quite limited. The pho is also very underwhelming compared to many other places. Chinatown has great pho & variety with full service & complimentary hot tea & aftermeal treats.
La cuisine du Petit Sao utilise plein de produits frais qui explosent en bouche. Toujours excellent. Aucune critique à mentionner de ma part. J'utilise la livraison fréquemment & c'est toujours excellent😎

Pour moi c'est un classique pour le lunch au travail puisque le bureau n'est pas loin. La nourriture, & le service rapide & courtois sont top, à tout coup.
