Gigo's Cafe & Deli — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Overall: 2.7/5 (Postmates delivery)

We ordered on Postmates right before closing but they accepted our order. The food came in about 40 minutes. Price is decent compared to other Vietnamese restaurants but the food wasn't good. The food and sauce were all pretty bland and didn't have the Vietnamese umami flavors

Nem Nuong Cuon voi Cha Ram Tom/Summer Roll ($7.75): This comes with 3 fat rolls. The first bite was good but after that, it was just okay. The sauce is very interesting but the flavor doesn't really compliment the summer roll. It surprisingly tastes better with the vermicelli noodles. Their nem nuong needs to be cut thinner as the pieces are too chunky. It's also a bit hard and not as juicy as we would have liked it to be.

Bun Dac Biet ($15.50): The pork was good but the shrimp was bad. Vermicelli was okay. I like that they provide shredded lettuce and cucumbers.

House Special Combo With Broken Rice #21 ($15.50): Everything in this dish was mid except for the egg roll which was pretty good. The egg roll looked like a hybrid of a regular egg roll and an imperial egg roll. Another plus was that they used actual broken rice so I appreciate the...

My partner and I dined at 1:30-2pm. We were unsatisfied with our restaurant experience. I ordered the Rare steak pho that tasted bland with an iced coffee with milk. My partner ordered #36. The waitress who brought our order was polite. Until she grabbed my Basil leaves from the plate with toppings and added them to my pho with her bare hands then she came back with scissors that looked like school scissors and not kitchen scissors and started to cut up the noodles. I was disgusted and I was left speechless. I've never experienced this before at a pho restaurant. I was so upset I only took a few bites. My ice coffee was terrible and only had what seemed to be a single drop of milk. We left upset and ended up paying 36.00. it was a waste of time and money. I'm not the type to cause a scene in restaurants so we decided to pay and leave. Hopefully I can find a way to get a refund. Definitely not worth coming here if the waitress is going to be...

I was happy to learn they’ve reopened!! I got the vegetarian pho and tofu spring rolls to-go. My first impression was how each item was perfectly packaged and organized. Says a lot about the place and just a little something I truly appreciate. Moving on, I was pleasantly surprised by the generous proportions being the pho was big enough to share with two people. The broth was rich but light and flavorful, the noodles were top notch, the tofu was crispy on the outside and silky smooth soft on the inside. The spring rolls were fresh, perfectly wrapped (no falling apart) and balanced with the veggies. The dipping sauce was something amazing as well, I wonder if it’s house made. It was all just SO GOOD and affordable! The lady and gentleman working there were extremely friendly, kind and grateful for business, I hope this place survives and thrives through this economic rough patch. It’s...
