Little
Saigon has the largest concentration of Vietnamese
shopping in the world outside Vietnam. Little
Saigon is located in the heart of Orange County
in the city of Garden Grove. This rapidly expanding Vietnamese
shopping district is most evident in a three square mile
area bordered by Westminster Boulevard, Bolsa Avenue, Magnolia
Street, and Euclid Street. To really appreciate the charm
of Little Saigon you need to park the car and walk through
the shopping areas. A good starting point is the Asian Garden
Mall which houses the biggest jewelry market in Orange County. Little
Saigon features a wide variety of Vietnamese shops,
restaurants, bakeries and boutiques. To really enjoy
the flavor of Vietnam you have to dine in one of the dozens
of Vietnamese restaurants. With so many
places to eat to choose from yo might want to ask one of
the locals to recommend their favorite. Little Saigon gets
very
busy on weekends, traffic is backed up on Bolsa Street and
parking spaces are hard to find. If possible plan your
trip to Little Saigon during the week. There is no other
Vietnamese shopping experience like this anywhere else in
the United States. Plan on spending at least a half a day
exploring Little Saigon, California.
