South Bay Native Brings the Taste
of Vietnam to the City of Lawndale
John Nguyen, always wanted his friends to try the many delicious dishes that Vietnam had to offer. But there was a lack of choices when it came to Vietnamese restaurants. So in 2003, John opened up Saigon Dish with that in mind. Saigon Dish would introduce those that
were unfamiliar with Vietnamese food to all the wonderful things Vietnamese cuisine had to offer. They create traditional items using high quality beef, white meat chicken and the freshest ingredients. And fifteen years later, that idea is still going strong as they continue
to bring Vietnamese cuisine to the South Bay. During these times, please support your local businesses. Photo courtesy Saigon Dish.
