If  you like Vietnamese food, and want a taste of authentic Vietnamese street food, then definitely add the Little Saigon Night Market to your summer bucket list!

Little Saigon in Westminster is home to the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam and visitors to the night market can savor an array of authentic Vietnamese street food while enjoying a beautiful summer’s evening outdoors, fun people watching, meandering vendor tables and kitschy booths filled with trinkets, games and clothing, along with live Vietnamese entertainment. Fun for all ages, the night market is free to the public and runs every weekend (Friday-Sunday, 7-11 p.m.), beginning in June and continuing through Labor Day weekend.

You’ll find a variety of sweet and savory Vietnamese street fare and Vietnamese/Asian drinks, including Vietnamese desserts drinks (che) and milk tea.

Come early for the best parking! As the sun drops in the western sky, local residents fill the front lot of the Asian Garden Mall on Bolsa.

Grab some bites and walk around or sit down at the tables available around the venue. Go slow as there is much to be savored, both sweet and savory.

Always a savory, my favorites are the grilled lobster tail ($8 for one) and the Vietnamese pizza – of course!

You’ll also find grilled shrimp (or are those prawns?) and corn – which seems to span all cultures as the universal street food!
