Oh my what a gem. I am no expert in Vietnamese food, but I do love pad Thai... And this place delivered. Clean large very well decorated inside. 100% happy with our visit here

A terrific find on a long drive. Very attentive and accommodating of our culinary requirements (vegetarian). Food was abundant -- the lunch serving was plenty, and came with soup, a side of rice, and an eggroll--fresh, and delicious. Our wait person was helpful, friendly, and polite as well. The price was right, about 10 each, certainly after our Chicago experience where even fast food requires you sell an organ.

Lunch Date with the Mr. on a chilly Saturday afternoon. We were greeted at the door and seated quickly. Nicely it was our same booth from our first visit here. Cute right? The server was pleasant and catered to my onion allergy. The food was delicious and the drinks were lovely. We will definitely return again

Little Siagon Restaurant quickly became one of my favorite restaurants when I find myself in Springfield Illinois. The menu boasts various Asian cuisines: Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese. I must say I was impressed with all the various selections and how delicious they taste. I was further impressed by the fact that MSG is not used, and that the dishes are prepared with low sodium. Though the restaurant is constantly busy, the ambiance allows for a quiet romantic dinner for two; one in which you don't have to strain your voice to talk, or to be heard. The tea beverages are a must try. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Found this place when we visited Springfield. Service was great. Food was amazing. Loved the fried rice and Panang curry. They have lunch specials Monday to Saturday. I would definitely come again if I’m in town.

A wonderful place to eat that had a huge variety of more Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese origin. I ended up getting fried tofu appetizer and it was huge! The main dish was super tasty and cooked very well!

Really solid Vietnamese food. The Chinese food and Thai food were also authentic. I usually avoid pan-asian restaurants like the plague, but this place was surprisingly delicious and the prices were really low for big portions. Would come back!

Delicious hot food, great staff, reasonably priced. Best vietnamese restaurant in Springfield. My only wish and suggestion is if they would offer banh mi sandwiches, too.
