Gigo's Cafe Deli - Los Angeles

My go to local spot for pho. I come here almost every week! No frills but delicious food… their fresh coconuts and pho are so soothing for a weekend hangover :P

When I say- this place hit the spot on my cravings!Ordered the bun thit nuong cha gio, nem nuong cuon, pork banh mi, and the iced coffee with milk. The portion of meat was generous, the pork perfectly juicy/charbroiled, and the banh mi was nicely toasted. Had it delivered through Uber eats, but would definitely love to dine in when I have more time! :

This review is solely based on the drinks and service from Gigo's Cafe. My friends and I were stuck in Chinatown for a while since we couldn't check into our AirBNB for another few hours. We walked into Gigo's to cool off and ordered a few beverages. One of my friends did feel bad though and ordered some spring rolls too.The drinks were really good! To be honest I don't remember which drink I got, but I do remember it being tasty and refreshing. Maybe it was the sugarcane juice? My friend also got Fresh Coconut juice, drinking straight from the coconut!But what I liked most about this place was the service and how friendly the workers there were to us despite us only getting drinks. There's definitely some bias though because me and one of my other friends in the group were speaking Vietnamese to the older lady serving us, and I think the lady working there was touched to see some young Vietnamese-American tourists supporting their business, so they did their best to make us feel welcomed. If I am around Chinatown again I'll definitely try out their food next time!

I often crave nem nuong rolls, but I rarely want to make the drive to OC. FEAR NOT!!! Lol, I'm late but so glad I came across Gigo's as I was taking a stroll over in Chinatown to pick up some red envelopes for Lunar New Year.It took some time to get their attention to place an order and I had to wave them down but once my order was in, I knew the food was gonna be great!The rolls were great and nostalgia hit me in my tastebuds upon first bite. Just like I remembered them to be and I can't wait to come back again soon :

I really wanted to love the food here but it was just okay. Prices are pretty cheap but service is really slow. I saw some people leave after being seated as no one took their order for 30+ mins.
