I was amazed by the variety of items that this restaurant has to offer; unfortunately, the taste of food was so-so. The fried eggrolls were the best. All the broth was on the sweet side. Service was great. Also, when visit this restaurant during sunset try to sit with back facing the front door or you will need a really good pair of dark sunglasses.

Overall: 4.5/5 [dine in] The service was great, and the food came out in a timely manner. They have an extensive menu so we definitely need to come back to try their other items. Combo Banh Beo Nhan Kho and Uot ($12.95): You get 3 of the dried shrimp and 3 of the mixed toppings with chopped shrimp, pork, mushroom, fried shallots, and peanuts. Both were good but I liked the mixed toppings version a bit more. Usually banh beo is topped with fried pork fat but the dried shrimp one came with croutons instead which was very interesting and actually worked really well. You get a nice crispy and crunchy contrast with each bite. Banh Hoi Dac Biet ($24.95): Everything on this plate was delicious. I had never seen seafood paired with banh hoi before so this was a first for me. The seafood included squid and scallop and the grilled pork was nicely charred. The ground beef wrapped in grape leaves broke apart easily and was just okay but the sugarcane shrimp was my favorite of everything on the plate. Ca Phe Khoai Mon ($6): Wow the coffee is super strong. The ube foam was really good and paired well with the coffee without overpowering it. This definitely woke me up and I could not sleep th

I spent over $200 a few days before taking the family there for supper. It was a bit pricey but service was good and the food we ordered were good. A few days later, I spent close to $80 for a DoorDash order. I ordered 5 items, 2 were very good and proportionate to the the prices: Canh Chua Cá hoặc Tôm and Mì Xào Chay (Dòn hay Mềm) . The Ba'nh Be`o Che'n was ok. The Cá Kho Tộ ($15.95) and the Tom Tôm Rim Mặn ($16.95) had very small portions. Compared with other places I ordered, it's more than half the portion of others. I would recommend being careful of the portion sizes for these items from this restaurant. I figured the portions may have been due to my order being placed so close to closing time so I didn't touched them and brought them in original conditions to ask them the next day. They confirmed that it's normal. If I was to order those two items at the restaurant, they aren't even big enough for 2 people to eat. Understanding that every restaurant proportion is different, I've been here before a few times and never had a problem, but I do want to share because it may be useful for others to know. Update: I really appreciated the owner's response to my review.

I had a great experience at Lua Kitchen! Xuan was super nice and took really good care of us. The service was fast and friendly, which made the whole visit even better. I ordered the grilled pork vermicelli with egg rolls and shredded pork skin, and it was so delicious. The flavors were fresh and well-balanced, and everything tasted authentic. You can tell they put effort into the food. I’ll definitely come back again and recommend this place to my friends!
