Great selection of traditional Vietnamese dishes. The service was fast and friendly when we went, which is unusual for a busy Viet place. The banh beo had a good texture and the cracklins were the perfect size. I also had the mi quang and it was a huge bowl! Tasty bits of pork, 3 shrimp and plenty of lettuce at the bottom. My sister liked her banh canh and my friend's go-to is their bun bo hue. Overall a great place for other dishes besides pho! read more

I used to love the Vietnamese food here, but lately it seems like they have just given up. This is the second time I have ordered the pork, shrimp, and egg roll plate and left with just a shrimp patty and some egg rolls. There is no excuse for a restaurant not checking the food that's in the to go box. I shouldn't have to worry about whether my whole meal will be in the box. If this had happened just once I would excuse it. But this is the second time. Charging full prices and shorting people on food is just deceptive. If you didn't have any pork, just let customers know so that they can choose to go elsewhere. read more

La Me - Restaurant menu update 7/10/22. - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Authentic Food! And they have the best congee! Whenever I am sick, this is the place i order for pick up!

Updating again, this was a Sunday afternoon at 4ish. Called for pickup and the young guy that took my order was very helpful cause I forgot the names of my dishes and didn't have the menu in front of me. I also had to change an order and they were very accommodating to do so at the last minute. Also helps to mention there was non one in the place. But the food is always solid, the service can be hit or miss but today it was great read more

La Me - Mi Quang take out, great dried shrimp flavor and a note of spice. - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Small restaurant, limited seating. But every table was full during lunch which was a good sign. This place is known for some Central Vietnam dishes. Ordered the banh beo for an appetizer and they were good. Wish they put mung bean paste on them. Ordered mi quang and it was okay. Not as good as my mom's but still good. I would come back to try more of their extensive menu. Their ches look delicious read more

La Me is a long standing Vietnamese restaurant. I myself have been here a couple times. I prefer going to Vietnamese restaurants that specialize in certain dishes. La Me is more about the variety they serve rather than the quality. You can often find that restaurants that don't specialize in a certain dish will have "shortcuts", meaning one item used in one dish will likely be in another dish resulting in bland/generic flavors. The good items are pho and hu tieu. These two broths have very unique flavors. The pho contains the aromas iconic to a good broth. The hu tieu has hints of seafood that rounds out the broth well. My complaints are dishes I believe they could've gone without on their menu such as the Bun Bo Hue and Mi Quang. Bun bo hue is a beef noodle soup with strong lemon grass notes. The bun bo hue had too much shrimp paste which is the ultimate red sign of a quick bun bo. Lemon grass and a strong beef flavor are what you're looking for in a good bun bo, this lacked both in depth. Mi quang is notoriously known for the bright turmeric color rice noodles in a deep seafood broth with sautéed pork and shrimp. The mi quang had all the makings to be great, but lacked in execution. There was entirely too much broth and the bean sprouts outnumbered the noodles. Mi quang is not meant to be a soup, but rather a simmered sauce to dress the noodles. If there was less soup, the flavors from the sautéed pork would be stronger and flavor the dish better. The shrimp was just boiled. In this authentic dish, the shrimp (heads and all) is sautéed with the pork to marry in flavor. You can tell shrimp is boiled here to be put in dishes like Hu Tieu and whatever else they put shrimp in. Overall, it would be a good introduction to some of Vietnam's iconic dishes, but doesn't not give the name of these dishes justice. read more

While we like the Vietnamese restaurants near where we live, most of the places nearby cater more towards the American palate and the family wanted something authentic. So we drove down to La Me to check it out after we discovered that they had dishes that we couldn't get closer to where we live. Hubby was super happy with his mi quang. The kid liked her pho; broth was nice and beefy, with a lovely rich aroma. I ended up having the bun cha which was damn good, with a nice smokey char on the meat. YUM. Sadly, they no longer have banh beo, which is one of my favorite dishes. Likewise, I was not impressed with their nem nuong -- the pork roll itself was fine but was hoping that it came with a sauce more like the ones from SoCal's Brodard chain. Alas, it did not, and instead came with the peanut sauce that you normally get with other spring rolls. Not a deal-breaker but not what I was hoping for. Sad. All in all, this was a solid place with authentic food and the prices were good too. read more

I've eaten here at least 5-10 times now before writing this. I usually get to go. This place doesn't look like much from the outside but Ive had almost every pho in this plaza and so far La Me has been my favorite. The spring rolls and sauce has been my favorite so far in the plaza as well. I wish they would give hoisin and sriracha sauce to go without me asking because I forget to ask (most places just include). I haven't tried other dishes yet but I'll probably try something new next time I go in read more

This is a hidden gem! Located just north of Dallas, it offers a variety of Vietnamese dishes and pho. The prices are just right, and service is quick and polite! We visited on a Saturday evening (heads-up, this place closes a little on the earlier side, 8pm!) and were seated right away. It seemed pretty busy, but not too crowded. I ordered pho tai, and it was delicious! The pho came out within 10 minutes of ordering, and I was pleasantly surprised, since I was very hungry. The broth was super delicious - not too salty or too sweet, and the beef was so good! I highly recommend this restaurant if you're craving some pho! PS - There are plenty of parking spaces in this area. read more

I ordered corn milk,jelly desserts and food for my lunch. The think is my food had not come out yet and I already drunk all my drinks because they just had ice instead of actual drink.

STAY AWAY if you dont wanna waste your money. and I still regret because I tipped them too well for their poor food quality. read more

We went here as this was my brother and his girlfriend favorite Vietnamese place. I was not too hungry at the time as I ate at Buc-ee's and it was hot as I usually do not eat a lot when hot.

La Me has become one of my "go to" restaurants in the DFW area when it comes to enjoying Vietnamese food. I've been here enough times that an updated review is needed. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Improvements all around. Yes, it still gets busy & tables can me tight on weekend. Yes, the floors may need cleanup (after big parties). But during lunch on a weekday none of those issues at all. English is optional of course, but at the end of the day you'll get a better experience during the week. 1 Star. Service - No change. 1/2 Stars. Food - Still solid. The egg rolls here are true Vietnamese style. They use rice paper instead of Chinese egg sheets. The result is a crispier bite. Best eaten wrapped in fresh lettuce and dipped in nuoc mam (fish sauce). Also, the bo luc lac (shaken beef) is well marinated & tender. Two other great dishes are the Bun Cha Ha Noi & Mi Quang. The first is a rice vermicelli dish with pork and the second is an egg noodle dish with pork & shrimp. Both are true Vietnamese dishes that represent Vietnam. No fusion, not tricked up, just how mom made it. 1 1/2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes! I stop by every now and then for their Bun Cha and/or flan. When I have a craving for either, La Me is my spot. Even if you're not a fan of Vietnamese food, you should go just for the flan. 1 Star. read more

Great authentic Vietnamese eats! Probably best place I've found in Dallas so far. I prefer this place over Bistro B because it's not fusion or Americanized (don't worry, they speak English). I haven't had a bad dish here yet. My favorite dish is tiny rice stick with grilled pork, THK (ground shrimp wrapped in bean curd skin), and egg roll. Add some rice paper for making your own wraps and you have a feast! I love the egg rolls here. There's just something about the wrapper....thin, bubbly and crispy. I think they use rice paper compared to most other places that use phyllo wrappers. Great spring rolls here too! The banh mi is good too! The bread is great; soft on the inside with a crispy thin crust on the outside. They bake the sandwiches when you order them. Not super meaty, but what do you expect for under $3. Closed on Weds. I keep forgetting and end up having to to go over to Bistro B instead. $8 minimum for credit cards. I usually get an ice coffee so it's not a problem getting over that amount. Get a flan for dessert on your way out. It's some of the best I've had anywhere. 4.5 stars! (My Lan in Haltom City is still my #1 Vietnamese in DFW) read more

Service still horrible as ever!!! we waited ten mins and nobody said anything to us. They noticed us standing there because I made contact with the waiter. Next group comes in speaking Vietnamese and he seated them right away!!! OH HECK NO!!!!! Don't mess with hungry kitty!!!! I said something! and I said it in Vietnamese!!!! THAT'S RIGHT! RECOGNIZE!!!!! My Vietnamese can be broken but I can curse like a sailor and you would still understand. I said HELLO??? IVE BEEN STANDING HERE FOR TEN MINS IN VIETNAMESE *stomps feet* For some reason, Vietnamese people doesn't think I'm Vietnamese. They think I'm Filipino? He made a comment saying I don't look Vietnamese. Whatever bro. Discrimination! Anyway, I had to get my bun bo hue fix. So that's what I got. It hit the spot. Right amount of spicy. There was a lot of meat in there. Delicious but service doesn't amount to good food. Mom ordered mi quang and didn't like it. She said mi quang doesn't come with squid, egg, and itty bitty shrimp. It's suppose to have ground beef with BIG shrimp and it's not soupy like pho. RIP OFF! she ate three bite and threw it away. read more

La Me - Bun no hue - Vietnamese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Comes here a few times every time I'm down here in Dallas. Not much options for Vietnamese food in Dallas. Somehow this place is packed on Sunday. Waitstaffs are disorganized and they could have done a better job not forgetting the serve the proper utensils for certain dishes. On a nice warm weather day they could have setup the people waiting to have an option to seat outside. We ordered a beef noodle soup (pho), the rice plates combinations, spring rolls comes a sauce that come with a funny taste to it . I have to say they need to improve tremendously on that dipping sauce it lacked the peanut butter in it . Pho is edible but not a for it. Rice combo plate is the most attractive one here so far. read more

The Cookie Monster and I dropped by for a late lunch today with the mission of eating my first Dallas bowl of Bun Rieu (rice vermicelli with tomato broth and shrimp paste). Coming from the area, he said La Me is known for more traditional Vietnamese foods, and the crowd shows it; pretty much everyone was Vietnamese, and either everyone really knows how to order, or everything looked so delicious! The menu is expansive, offering all sorts of rice dishes, noodle soups of all kind, appetizers, and drinks~ ^^ He had the grand rice platter (#39?), which was a huge plate of rice with a heap of veggies, egg cake, grilled pork, slices of Chinese sausage, Spam, and shrimp patties on top. Dannnng, son, I want some of that! He really liked it, and both of us agreed there was more toppings vs. Bistro B across the street. As for the Bun Rieu? I saw the Bun Rieu Cua (La Me serves theirs with fried tofu, fried fish cake, pork blood, and bits of egg), and I knew it had to spend the night in my tummy, asaps. Yumm! Not as good as the ones I have in Houston, but it hit the spot. It was served with a plate of basil, bean sprouts, and limes, but it really didn't need any of that; the broth was really flavorful :D La Me satisfied my craving for bun rieu, and I will definitely come back to try other dishes with friends when we're craving Vietnamese food! read more

This place is a hole in the wall Vietnamese Restaraunt if you are looking for authentic Vietnamese food. Don't let the outside exterior fool you because the food here is quite delicious. My favorite thing to get here in the banh canh as not many places offer the dish, and with that not many places make it well. Well my friends and I came here on a cold day and warm soup sounded perfect. We also ordered the egg rolls, rice platter, spring roll platter, and ice coffee. Honestly everything we ordered was good, there wasn't one thing that we ate that wasn't up to par with what we expected it to be. Overall I might be a little bias but this is definitely one of my go to for a good Vietnamese meal. I would definitely come back, but only for certain things like banh canh and their rice platter. read more

La Me is my absolute favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Dallas. For such a small restaurant they have a pretty decent sized menu. They have the typical dishes found in a pho restaurant with some extras (i.e. mi quang, banh canh, bun rieu, banh hoi). Located in the Hong Kong supermarket plaza with Bistro B... La Me is the obvious choice for your Vietnamese cravings. The eggrolls here are BOMB. They're not 4/$1 like their competitor's...but the quality is worth it. I really like their com tam 7 mon (rice plate with 7 things). #39 is what you need to know! I also enjoy making my own spring rolls with their banh hoi dish - it comes with plenty of fresh, delicious veggies. What really hits the spot for me is their coconut milk and black jelly dessert. So good! Don't leave here without getting some of that! read more

I've been here a few times but the last time put a dent in my plans to return again. I ordered 3 dishes to go: pho, banh canh, and mu quang. I went to pick up my food, paid and asked the lady was that everything because the guy ended up getting a phone call after taking my card. She said yes and I left. I get a phone call 20-30 minutes later saying that they messed up and forgot to give me one of the soup for the banh canh. It's about a 20-25 minute drive for me there. They asked if I can drive back there to pick up the soup they forgot to give me. It was so frustrating! I don't know if I will order to go for them again after this. read more

La me is one of the best Viet spot in Dallas. It's not the same level of tier as California and Houston's viet spots. But this is decent enough for the fix. This viet place is more northern style so it's new to me. The bo luc lac is fantastic! It's better than Bistro B's. Their other lemongrass beef dish is good as well. We often get the flan, che ba mau , and yogurt too. The che is a bit sweet but good. read more

Love the variety of delicious Vietnamese dishes at La Me, and we have gotten into the habit of ordering to-go from here at least once a month [if not more]. Instead of what most other restaurants carry (pho), they have many different types of "Hu Tieu" noodles to choose from. We even got adventurous and tried "Mi Quang" today, and that was super yummy too. Giving 4 stars; minus 1 star because we found part of a rubber band inside the "Mi Dac Biet" clear noodle, and once in awhile they get our orders wrong (minor English barrier). Apart from that, all else is great. read more

Pretty good and authentic Vietnamese food mostly from the northern region. Rarely do I see restaurants with menu items that focus on the north, so I was very impressed. These are the dishes my mom used to make us. I didn't try the pho but my husband had the thin vermicelli noodle (banh hoi) special and I had the bun rieu with fish cake. The broth itself is very flavorful and they use REAL dried shrimp for the rieu (egg mixture), but the fish cake (cha ca) was on the chewy dried side. Besides that, I still think this soup without the fish cake is one of the more appetizing bun rieu I've had at any Vietnamese restaurant. We also tried the banh beo (mini rice cake appetizer) which my little toddler absolutely loved! This was his first time having it and we were SO surprised at how much he ate. He also loved the nem nuong (sausage) that came out with the thin vermicelli plate. The sauces they served was to our liking. As others have mentioned, the restaurant was busy and packed, but we didn't have to wait long. It's kind of a hole-in-the-wall establishment, but the food definitely is worth it. Cost was affordable. Service was sufficient. read more

In this very popular Vietnamese strip mall, there are many other dining options, but don't pass by this unassuming restaurant. It is a gem that serves traditional Vietnamese flair with a good price and down home authentic cooking. It is a small place, so you might have to wait a little bit for a table. On a Saturday afternoon around 1pm, we did not. We got lucky though as it was pretty packed. The goi cuon we got was great. It was a good ratio of noodles to meat and the meat was not processed as much as other restaurants do. We got our usual pho tai and the broth was delicious. I think this has to do with the fact that they don't have to mass produce it due to their size. You get a good amount of food and they were good about bringing us extra bowls and utensils for our kids. Once finished, you get up yourself and pay at the front. I'll be back! read more

Favorite Vietnamese restaurant in DFW! They have so many options and they're all great and authentic. I switch it up between bún riêu, cm bẩy món (7 item rice dish), and the Hủ tiếu xào giòn (pan fried flat noodles). Don't forget to order their bánh bèo for an appetizer and flan for dessert.

Lots of Banh Hoi options. I got the banh hoi dac biet--pretty good and good portion (think it had about 5 diff meats). My friend got the bun rieu---looks and tastes nothing like home-cooked bun rieu.

No water refills. No smile. No help with the menu. Tiny, cramped seating. I wouldn't mind coming back to try other items...just save your tip money cuz you won't really need it. read more

A friend told me that this is her favorite Vietnamese restaurant and she and her family come here for her birthdays. We came here on a Saturday afternoon, luckily before all available tables were taken and a line outside started to form. My husband and I ordered the banh beo (savory rice cake dishes), bun cha hanoi with grilled pork patties, and the special vermicelli bowl. We loved everything! I especially loved my special vermicelli bowl, which came with a little bit of everything (2 fried egg rolls, shrimp patty, grilled shrimp, and grilled pork) and was a big portion. Pricing was very reasonable too, but the quality and portions. The restaurant is of medium size, but with COVID-19 precautions taken place, seating is limited. The staff is attentive and friendly.
