" If you want a real authentic Vietnamese meal, Gigo's should be your top choice! The flavors in every dish are spot on; you can tell they put a lot of effort into their cooking. I tried the pho tai and it was absolutely out of this world! The beef was tender, and the soup's richness was amazing. Moreover, the staff treated me warmly and even offered recommendations. I loved every moment there and will be spreading the word to all my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gigo's is charming and has become one of my go-to spots for Vietnamese food. I love how the dishes are always fresh and authentic. Their pho could use just a hint more spice for my taste, but that’s a minor detail. The staff is consistently warm and welcoming. I always feel at home here, worthy of a repeat visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited Gigo's Cafe & Deli after hearing so much buzz about their pho. It was the best decision I made all week! The broth was incredibly flavorful, unlike anything I’ve had in Los Angeles. The fresh herbs and vegetables added just the right touch! I was thrilled by the large portion, and I left feeling full without breaking the bank. The staff were friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. I can’t wait to come back and try their banh mi next time because I've heard fantastic things about that dish as well. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Vietnamese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come to Gigo's, I’m reminded of how rich and comforting their pho is. The other dishes can compete too, like their meatball vermicelli! The freshness of the ingredients really makes a difference. My only complaint is the atmosphere can feel a bit cramped during lunch hours. Despite that, the food is so good that I usually don’t mind the wait. I highly recommend giving it a try, particularly if you’re into authentic Vietnamese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Gigo's is a hidden gem! I always order their spring rolls and pho. The flavors are just unbeatable! I appreciate how quickly they serve the food, and the staff has always been polite and welcoming. It’s one of those places where you can feel the owner’s passion for food. The portions are generous, and the prices are very friendly for those on a budget. I would highly recommend trying the young coconut drink; it’s refreshing and pairs perfectly with any meal. I look forward to returning here often! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night was the first time I tried Gigo's, and I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations. The dining area was cozy, which I appreciated. I had the house special pho and it was packed with flavor! I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh everything tasted. The servers were prompt and very friendly, which always makes for a great meal. Prices are reasonable for the quality you're receiving. This will definitely not be my last visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I appreciate the effort at Gigo's, my last visit was rather disappointing. The pho was simply average. It lacked the depth that I was looking for and the noodles were overcooked. I also had the grilled chicken banh mi which was pretty dry. Service was decent but not overly attentive. The atmosphere was chaotic which didn’t help the dining experience. I wish I could say I enjoyed it more, especially since I've had great meals here before. Hopefully, this was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)
