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 a half a day exploring Little Saigon.
