Traveling with my youth group, we entered the restaurant on a hot summer's day, craving Vietnamese food and ready to eat one thing: bo luc lac aka shaking beef. With a rush of 30+ people, the owner and chef impressively fed us very quickly and fully with sides and drinks to boot! We came back just as strong the second day and were served with equal speed and hospitality. The owner was also clearly enthusiastic and eager to feed his patrons, making the meal that much more delicious. The five stars are for the friendliness and generosity of the restaurant owner, who graciously accommodated our group of 30+ ravenous diners two days in a row, cooking up a delicious storm! I would definitely recommend this spot if you're craving Vietnamese food in Lourdes.

We completely packed the restaurant, but the owner was so quick to accommodate us. He quickly made all our orders of bo luc lac, and was having a great time with our great. LMAO He was so worried about us waiting that he opened his display of drinks and tossed them at us, shouting "TAKE IT ALL IT'S ON US IT'S FREE." We were so thankful for Asian food since we've been traveling in Europe. The portion size was just right (and though we ordered bo luc lac, the chef/owner also made fried rice and noodles for those waiting). I have no idea how he did it so fast. The meat was juicy and it came along on a pile of salad + bowl of rice. After our meal, he did not give us a phone number, but his ACTUAL CELL PHONE (and a charger) to call in our order the next day. We had ga kho, which was enormous for one person. It reminded me of the dish my grandma makes. The chef was super nice and went out to buy fresh fruits for us since he was expecting us. We had some conversation and it turns out it's him and his wife who live above the restaurant, and it's a small family business (he has his adult kids living in the States). While we were waiting for the bathroom (which was really cute with fluffy hand towels and decor), he gave us a key to open his personal bathroom next to it. It had a shower and everything. When we came in the first day it wasn't too crowded. I think the chef/owner really enjoyed our huge group of Asian kids come in. It's clear he loves what he does. After I asked for a selfie, he asked me to be his daughter LOL. I don't know when I'll get the chance to go to Europe again, but this restaurant was a highlight of Lourdes. I'll definitely go here when/if I am able to come back. Cam on Chu nhieu lam cho do an ngon!
