Little Saigon

Late nights and you’re hungry? Sure.
Tip: do not get the curry fries (no hint of curry)
They do not serve water. They sell Evian bottled water for $ 8 SGD. We got the platter filled w/​fried delicacy that were mediocre at best however, the fried chicken wings and egg rolls were good.
+ chicken wings had a crispy exterior and juicy insides
+ egg rolls were fried perfectly
A rather extensive menu and prices weren’t too bad considering this is a major tourist area. Service was great, the food came out pretty fast, and I sincerely wish they reconsider the water offerings.
They looked at me weird for wanting iced water.

Vietnamese restaurant with good views close to the river. The food is good, but the service should improve. The duck breast was very good, and we also enjoyed the lemongrass tenderloin. We also tried the chicken noodles and they were simply ok. Don’t order drinks!!! We ordered one, and there were only like three drops of liquid in the glass and very expensive.

I don’t get it. This place is a tourist trap. The view was the only nice thing. Half price happy hour with everything half price not. Many things weren’t included. And my half priced drink came in a half filled glass. Appetizers were boring at best. The light fresh spring rolls were the best but the sugar prawn was made of cheap puréed something that may or may not have been prawns and the chili crab dip was just a bowl of liquid with little actual crab. The disappointment if the night was the much vaunted lemongrass beef tenderloin which was just a bunch of dry tasteless beef. No lemongrass we could discern and completely void of any redeeming value.
Save your money and have a great meal at any of the hundreds of places in the streets behind Boat Quay.

Little Saigon is perched right along the river bank, lined up with a number of other restaurants that seemingly merge together into a single centipede of establishments which are distinguishable only by their storefronts on the other side of the walkway. It is easy to miss, but that would be a shame because the food and service are both excellent.
I didn’t eat much here, but what I did have was very flavorful and really hit the spot, though it was a bit pricey. A different server came by every 5 – 10 minutes to make sure everything was fine, which meant I could flag down virtually anyone working and get assistance when I needed to order.
The view is wonderful. Watching the boats pass by on the river at Clark Quay while dining on Vietnamese delicacies is one of the more pleasant ways one can spend an evening.

This place is in Clarke Quay — that automatically puts it on the more pricey side. I went with my wife and small daughter to a friend’s going away party. There is an indoor area which is open to the walking path, basically opened wide doors, and a nice verdana on the water-​side. The décor is fetching with dark, blue tones with a sprinkling of Vietnamese-​ness.
As for the food, I recommend STAY AWAY from all soups and noodles. How you churn out mediocre phở and bun bo hue is beyond me. All else is ⁴⁄₅ stars — fried rice, spring rolls, and other appetizers. Although good food, as I said it’s on the pricey side.
BOTTOM LINE — go for the ambiance of Clarke Quay, the food is OK but do not expect top-​shelf Vietnamese fare. I’ve eaten better on the streets of Saigon.

Ein Nobel-​Vietnamese in Singapur.
Geschmacklich ganz ausgezeichnet von den Portionsgrößen jedoch könnte es durchaus noch etwas mehr sein. Genau dafür gibt es auch einen Stern Abzug, es gibt alternative Restaurants in gleicher Umgebung und da wird man dann auch satt.
Nichts gegen hochklassige Spitzenküche, dies ist jedoch beim Little Saigon mit dem Ambiente und der Aufmachung nicht angebracht. Schade eigentlich, denn es macht ansonsten einen sehr positiven Eindruck und ebenso schmeckten die Speisen durchaus sehr gut.
