Restaurant Review: Le Petit Saigon (1010 Langley Street, Victoria BC)

There are two reasons I love "Le Petit Saigon".
  1. The have spring rolls: they're actually called Imperial Spring Rolls, and they're available vegetarian as well. They are made gluten-free--wrapped in rice paper, coated with corn starch, and deep fried crispy.
  2. You have choices!! At least half of their menu is made gluten-free, just ask and your server will tell you everything you want to know. They have a lot of vegetarian options for those of you who don't do the moo.
Their menu is kinda crazy, and all over the place, but for me...this really works. Their portions are huge for both lunch and dinner, and the staff are always eager to please. This is one of Victoria's little gems.
I usually order a dinner combo; it consists of a spring roll, a summer roll, a brochette on a bed of rice vermicelli, served up with delicious and fresh nuoc cham for dipping. Eat Your Heart Out indeed!

  1. Just a heads up the spring rolls are contaminated by being deep-fried in the same oil as batter coated items. I was very excited to go try them after reading this but could not.

  2. Oh darn! When I went, back in February, I asked them nicely to heat up clean oil in a separate pot and fry them for me :p Many restaurants, if they're not crazy busy(usually lunch time) will do this for you :)
