    Lau Thai
    Quynh-Nhi N.

    We stopped by Lua Kitchen during the ice storm and couldn't believe they were actually open the full hours. The menu is huge, so we went family style and tried a bunch of stuff. My fave was the banh beo wet/dry toppings combo. The wet one was sooo good and felt really different from the usual things I get. We also had the bo ne and I loved the pate with it. Lastly we got the lau Thai hotpot and there was more than enough food to share between five people. Service was fast and everything came out smoothly. If I went back, I'd for sure order the banh beo again. Great spot to come with a group so you can try a little of everything.

    Bang beo with dry shrimp only
    Cat N.

    banh beo itself was ok! the topping was meh. I ordered full order of dry shrimp because I dont like the wet shrimp and pork flavor. Instead of crispy pork, they used bread? idk about that. Banh xeo was delicious and crunchy. It had mushrooms in it? weird I have not had banh xeo with mushrooms but I guess ingredients tends to be geographical. I also ordered cha lua wraps to go, it wasnt anything else. It looked better than it tasted, no flavor..bland actually without the dipping sauce. The kumquat tea was delicioussss. I would get banh xeo if I come back.

    Bun rieu oc
    Brandon D.

    Went out for lunch with my dad and grandparents at Lua Kitchen in Garland. We came when they first opened so it was fairly empty except for one other table. They have some pretty unique Vietnamese cuisine dishes here from the Hue region. I got the bun rieu oc, which is like a crab and snail noodle soup. They serve you the broth on the blander wire and you can add saté to season it to your liking. Their crab is in one huge cake, I'm more used to it being broken up in many small pieces. Also recently being in Vietnam has spoiled me for snails. The ones they had were big but not much flavor and more chewy. It's also pretty expensive here in general. My dad got the bo né, my grandpa for the Hu tieu kho, and my grandma got the bun thit nuong. Overall I thought everything here was just ok, nothing really worth the price

    Bo Ne Dac Biet and Bun Cha Ha Noi/Ha Noi Style Grilled pork and meatloaf
    Andrew H.

    The food was pretty good, the pa te was a little salty and same with the meatball. The fish sauce for the bun cha ha noi was also on the saltier side. Overall, the restaurant is super clean and nice and the staff were really friendly. This is a great spot for authentic Vietnamese food.

    This restaurant came up in our search for vietnamese food in the north Dallas area with veggie options. I'm so glad we decided to try it out because the food was so flavorful and the portion sizes were Texas-sized. For appetizers, we got the Bánh Bèo Chén ($9) which the group liked a lot and the chicken salad ($15) which was good but we had a bit leftover that we didn't want to take home. For entrees, we tried the beef pho (5/5! $15), Bánh Xèo Chay ($12, a huge pancake!), Hủ Tiếu Áp Chảo Chay ($12, crispy fried noodles that was quite unique and had a great sauce), Đậu Hủ Chiên Dòn Xã Ớt ($13, very flavorful lemongrass tofu), and the grilled pork plate which was also well liked. The staff were friendly too and all spoke Vietnamese. The place was clean, and the Vietnamese people in our group enjoyed the food which is a great sign!

    Banh Xeo/Vietnamese Pancake
    Tina H.

    Hands down one of my favorite viet places in the Garland area! Everything here is delicious. Must get is the Bo ne, canh chua with shrimp, bun cha Ha Noi! The menu has a variety of cuisines that everyone would enjoy. Big space with many seating, so we barely waited for a table!

    Rachel J.

    Big thanks to our server for patiently walking us through the menu. It was our first time venturing into Vietnamese food beyond pho and banh mi! We ended up liking the wet version of banh beo more than the dry, and the crispy Vietnamese pancake (banh xeo) and bun bo hue noodles were both hits. The cumin dill fish was just okay, and the snail stuffed with pork was a miss for us since we couldn't really taste the snail.

    Crab fried rice
    Joy M.

    New Vietnamese restaurant with a lot of potential to stay in business. It's hard to easily find a good Vietnamese restaurant in Dallas compared to Houston. Not everything we tried was delicious but they have many dish options so we will be coming back to try other things. They've been promoting their cumin dill fish wrap as their signature dish but I think they need to pick a different dish to promote. Presentation was nice in the sizzling plate but the fish was dry and lacked flavor. The dipping sauce was horrible and too pungent. I can do pungent but this was a fishy pungent. I had a hard time finding any crab in my crab fried rice. It was also a little bland and dry. But their combo banh beo and dry combo egg noodles were delicious and we would order them again. I prefer the dry version of the banh beo which is more of the traditional way banh beo is made with dry shrimp.

    First visit for Saturday lunch, and we loved it. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. As soon as we sat down, my daughter commented on how great it smelled inside. We ordered spring rolls and fried egg rolls to start--both were fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The peanut sauce was good, but the spring rolls honestly didn't even need it. For lunch we had chicken pho and bún đặc biệt, and both were outstanding. Generous portions, great flavors, and everything came out quickly. Prices are very fair for the quality and portion sizes. We left happy and will definitely be back.

    Bun dau mam tom
    Pauline P.

    Lua Kitchen is a great addition to what was a dying plaza. I really like that this place serves a lot of your not-so-typical dishes and they focus on good presentation. For our appetizer, we went with the banh beo chen and got a mix of the two different types: dried shrimp & minced pork. These were pretty decent but I didn't like how for the dried shrimp one they used croutons instead of fried pork fat -- just a preference of mine. My husband got the bun dau mam tom which was pretty solid -- it came with both boiled AND crispy pork which was cool. I liked that they cubed the vermicelli to make it easier to eat/grab and it made the dish look cool. I got the cha ca thi la (grilled tumeric fish) which is a really hard to find dish when you're not in Vietnam! It wasn't my favorite but they did a pretty solid job.

    Very hard steam rice
    Val S.

    Saw this place on Instagram and the food looked great. Banh beo is bigger than the usual. Bo luc lac was good and meat was tender but the rice that came with it was extremely hard!! . Pho dac biet was good. Service was slow when there was only 2 tables here around 6:30pm. The waitress came to refill our think when we were about to leave when our drink was almost empty. I wanted to pay with my business meal card but she didn't know how to use a slide card that doesn't have chip. Overall I don't think I will be coming back .

    Bun Bo Hue/Spicy Vietnamese beef noodle soup
    Viet N.

    Had the bun bo hue and the hu tieu dry version and both were very flavorful and tasty! The bbh itself had a nice spice and flavor! Just as good as pho tay do's bbh~

    Combo banh beo
    Susan N.

    We went during their soft opening and the restaurant was packed for lunch on a Sunday! I love the variety of Vietnamese dishes on their menu. They have unique regional dishes you can't typically find anywhere else. I ordered the combo banh beo, fried quail, snails in coconut milk, spring rolls, and grilled beef in grape leaves. My favorite ended up being the fried quail (so flavorful) and their original banh beo! Overall everything was delicious. I wanted to try their pandan milk, but it's not available yet. Will have to come back for that next time!

    Ok so I don't give out 5 stars much, really I swear!!!…read more But for what this place is I'll have to throw in the towel. First of all, the owners were friendly and very attentive to their would be customers. The place is very clean and very modern which fits the bills for any small restaurant business. Basically not tacky. Right out of the gate we have the Sake Tower which I found it very on point with how good it tasted. It has the right amount of acidity and sweetness with every bite. On top of that the the aloha mini meal did not disappoint . The chicken was never dry and the rice tasted just so soft it almost felt like it would melt in your mouth . I would definitely say they earn their keep and I look forward to coming back and trying more of their menu.

    Mori Teriyaki Wok Sushi Rolls really surprised me in the best way…read more From the moment you walk in, the ordering process is quick and intuitive thanks to their easy-to-use kiosks. The space has the warm, cozy feel of a small Asian café--inviting, relaxed, and homely. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, creating an experience that feels personal and welcoming. I ordered a combo plate with spicy shrimp and sweet chili chicken, and the portions were more than generous. The shrimp were large, perfectly cooked, and seasoned with just the right amount of heat. The sweet chili chicken had a crisp exterior and a nicely balanced flavor profile. The mac salad was creamy with a subtle sweetness, though it had a slight gritty texture that differs from a traditional Hawaiian-style mac salad. We also tried a couple of sushi rolls--the Spicy California and the Mori Crunch. Both were enjoyable, but the Mori Crunch stood out for its excellent texture and well-balanced flavors. It's easy to see why it's a house favorite. What impressed me most is that this is a family-run spot, operated by a humble couple who clearly care about the food they serve. You can taste the effort and pride in each dish. With solid flavors, generous servings, and genuine hospitality, Mori Teriyaki Wok Sushi Rolls is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommend.

    We've been to this location many times. The service is always usually pretty slow, but this last…read morevisit was extraordinarily slow. When we walked in, the hostess had a poor attitude and was off putting. Unfriendly and borderline rude. We made sure to get there as soon as they opened because we knew it would be dead, and we'd have better luck at quicker service. Unfortunately, they sat us outside because we had our ESA animal in an enclosed carrier after grilling us about what services he performs, and I believe we were forgotten about since we were the only ones on the porch. It was a very warm day with high humidity. I asked the hostess if she could make sure the fans were on since it was so hot, and she asked, "So, you want me to turn them off?" We only ordered two apps of Roti Canai, one order of the twice friend wings, and an order or the donuts (all were ordered at once to help speed things along since it was so hot outside.) It took quite a while, and the wings came out soggy and cold, which is not the norm. A thunderstorm was coming in, and we had been waiting on our donuts for at least 20 minutes at this point. My husband informed the hostess that we would have to either cancel the order or move inside since it was about to start raining. She flippantly said that she would have to ask the manager first if we were allowed inside. We were so turned off that it really ruined the experience, and it was not the way we wanted to celebrate Mother's Day. The donuts finally came out (also cold), and I had my husband just give her the credit card without the check so we could hurry up and get off the porch before it started coming down. We rushed through the dessert and left. Not loving our experience and not sure if we'll be back until the attitude and service changes. We're bummed because we were always a fan of this place until now.
