Little Saigon, San Francisco Overview

Marble pillared dragons welcome visitors to Little Saigon, a small distinctive neighborhood within the Tenderloin. In 2004, the city recognized the two block stretch of Larkin Street between Eddy and O’Farrell Streets as Little Saigon, officially noting the wealth of Vietnamese culture that exists in this pocket neighborhood, where the majority of businesses are Vietnamese-serving and have helped rejuvenate an otherwise rough part of town. Apartments and condos rise above the street level businesses, where Vietnamese delicacies are served to happy customers and tourists.
