  A little food, a little spoiled. My friend and I were out and thinking about going to Lihn’s. But. From where we were, it was far and we were hungry. She said this was a pretty good place. Key word: WAS. We began our journey there with glasses of water, which the waitress/hostess picked up by the tops of the glasses to move them before she brought the appetizer. We didn’t have straws, so I found myself trying to drink from a spot she didn’t touch. You just don’t do that. The appetizer was lacking. There was some pork thing on there (I don’t go to these places of my own accord, so I rely on my partner’s assessment) that should have been grilled, but it was fried to a toughness that is indescribable. The spring rolls were good. She touched my glass. We shared an entree, as usually we go to places like this and if we order individually, it’s way too much. Oops. Wrong call here; good thing we had a semi decent appetizer. I can see where there could be some charming atmosphere. I can see where the food could be good, though it was not busy and there seemed to be no rush to get us our food. The entree had beef, pork and shrimp. We could not eat the beef, becasue honestly, it tasted as if it were past spoiled. A very sour, nasty taste. We left that, fought over the few noodles that were on the plate and decided never, never again. Next time we’re thinking about Lihn’s, we’ll just keep driving until we get there. The best part is….there’s a sticker on the outside window proclaiming that it’s a yelp favorite. I would love to meet THOSE people.

  We love this resturant! My children would eat here every day of the week if we let them. Their favorite dish is #86 noodles with spring rolls and fish sauce. The fish sauce is homemade!

  YES!. This plce was recommended by a friend & did not disappoint. I ordered a dinner sized soup bowl. It was delicious & enough for TWO dinners. I ate the other half the next day after a valiant effort of trying to finish it at the restaurant. Would definitely eat here again!

  Fun restaurant! Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but cute inside, and great food. Their soft roll (not the spring roll – the soft roll) is wonderful and a must-try. Great for vegetarians – full vegetarian menu.

  One word: Awesome!. I went to Little Saigon today after trying Pho Ga at North Market in Columbus this weekend. I was hoping it would be as good, and it was! I had a huge bowl of Beef Pho and a spring roll. I did not care for the filling of the spring roll, but that might have just been my preference, it was perfectly cooked. The Pho was delicious and only $6 for a portion too big for me to eat. I didn’t even ask for a drink but was brought a nice hot tea and water. The older lady there who may have been the owner was eating with everyone else in the dining room and I told her that she would see me all winter. I can’t wait to go back.

  Sorry- this time, disappointing. Very weak, unflavorable tea, Spring rolls- not as fresh tasting as before/ sauce too bland and thin, chicken vermicelli bowl – missing veggies and mint, asparagus/crab soup- very thin and bland, lemongrass chicken not as wonderful as the last time—what happened? did you change chef and/or are you on a tight budget? After 7 years of going, I doubt that we will be back. So sad!
