Gigo's Cafe & Deli

The food here is absolutely exceptional. I've been here twice and have tried their pho and Bun Bo Hue, both of which were outstanding. The ingredients are always fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area. While the ambiance could benefit from a bit of a makeover in terms of paint, tables, and décor, I prioritize great food above all else. The staff consistently provide friendly and attentive service, making every visit enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. On top of that, there's free parking with any purchase, which is a great bonus! By the way, don't fall for the "it doesn't taste authentic" How would anyone other than a person who either went to Vietnam or has a Vietnamese grandma, know what

5 Stars for Gigo’s Cafe & Deli in Chinatown The pho here is outstanding and one of the best in LA. The broth is rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite feels comforting and authentic. Free parking is available in the lot next door as long as you are eating at Gigo’s Cafe & Deli. See photo to locate the parking lot before you go. This is a family-owned spot with heart, and it deserves your support. If you want great pho in Chinatown, I highly recommend Gigo’s Cafe & Deli. #SupportLocal #ChinatownEats #Pho

The BEST Pho in all of LA. I will firmly stand behind this statement, I’ve gone to 100s of Vietnamese restaurants over the years and not one is as good as Gigo’s Cafe. Something about the broth stands out, one of the big tests of a good pho is, if you’re really thirsty after eating it, it’s filled with MSG to “take shortcuts”. But not here, Gigo’s has their broth simmering on low and slow, old fashion way which enhances the flavors. Would recommend having your Combination Pho with Rice Noodles for a different but delicious take on the classic. Also the spring-rolls and Cha Gia are amazing! Owners are EXTREMELY nice people, always coming to conversate with us and you can tell they care about their business. This is one of the best local spots in Chinatown and truly a hidden gem!

I’ve been coming here for about 10years now. From my middle school, high-school, and now college. The lady that I think owns the store. Such a lovely lady. She knows us now that we come way too often. The food is really good. The environment is very chill and light. Overall amazing place

Had a lovely experience here for takeout. Got the #31 bun dac biet, which comes with everything on vermicelli (pork, meatball, shrimp, shredded pork, egg roll). It was priced well at $15.25, and ordered a side of pho broth for $5. There’s a 3% fee for credit card, no big deal. Pickup was easy and service was prompt from my phone-in order. Food was delicious and the broth was exactly what I had wanted to help treat my cold. I’ll certainly be back again!
