    A13 Xôi Chiên - Crispy Sticky Rice
    Noor D.

    The Pho was subpar, but the spicy sticky rice was delicious. The inside is extremely stunning as they have plenty of plants in the restaurant. Nice place to go when you are craving a bowl of Pho

    Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Service was attentive. Summer rolls, beef pho, quail, bua luc lac .. would order it all again. We came around 2pm and place was full of other diners.

    Pho Your Way: brisket, rare steak, beef ball
    Annabelle L.

    So our family decided to give this spot another try and hoping for better food quality than our first visit a year ago.... We came on Wednesday night which happens to be their Pho special night - $10 for Pho your way. You get to select three proteins. I got the brisket, rare steak and beef ball. Hey, it's pho so get the beef! The broth was decent - not great not bad but okay. The dipping hoisen and siracha was available but very low stocked. We asked for more and they did restocked but very little. We ordered what's supposed to be bot chien - it is a popular Vietnamese street food dish made from a block of steamed rice flour and tapioca starch that is cut into cubes, pan-fried until crispy, and then scrambled with eggs and green onions. Well, it's nothing like it unfortunately. I taste mainly fried eggs with some green onions. It lacks the carbs and the crispy texture. I think if I'm stuck on a pinch and craving pho, I might stop by again but with so many other Vietnamese restaurant, it's probably not worth the visit especially when parking is a nightmare at this shopping center.

    My husband and I recently visited for a birthday dinner for our nine-year-old, who absolutely loves Vietnamese pho--and this spot did not disappoint! We loved that it's a BYOB restaurant, and even better, there's a store just a few doors down where you can conveniently grab a bottle to bring in. They'll open it and serve it for you, which was a really nice touch. The menu is extensive, with plenty of appetizers to choose from. Portions were fair, the food was fresh, and every bite was packed with flavor. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive--he made sure our kids, my husband, and I were taken care of the entire time, and we truly appreciate that level of service. I also want to highlight how clean and beautifully decorated the restaurant is. They've done an excellent job with the ambiance, and it made the experience even better. We'd love to come back and try more from the menu. Check out our photos and videos to see what we ordered!

    Yummy food. Great drink. I enjoyed the fresh spring rolls, ube matcha, and grilled beef short ribs over rice. I also like their pork chop rice platter .

    Fat served as rare beef....
    Mark M.

    Poor experience this afternoon. Great deal on Wednesday $10 Pho. The rare beef I got was nothing but fat. I asked for better beef and I was ignored. Then asked for the manager and was told he is not here. I never leave bad reviews....this is my first. I won't be back!!

    Battled the HMart parking lot to come to Lua Vietnamese Cuisine in Edison. While the ambiance was nice, the overall experience was underwhelming. *FOOD* The food itself was okay. We tried the Banh Xeo ($15) which I think could be improved if the crepe part was not soggy from the watery bean sprouts and onions. The Pho Lua / Beef Noodle Soup ($18) was decent and the broth flavorful. It came with an ample variety of meats, though can be a bit pricey. IMO I think you're mostly paying for the nice ambiance here. *SERVICE* Service was mediocre. While dishes came out a decent pace, we weren't greeted warmly, and it didn't seem like they were particularly attentive or enthusiastic towards customers either. Everything about this place is just ok. Overall, it was just an average spot for me. There are other Viet spots in Edison that offer better value and more personable service.

    We ordered 2 Kids meal grilled pork chops, grilled chicken Pho soup, beef pho soup, veggies pho soup. For apps, we ordered spring rolls and summer rolls. The pork chops were delicious. Perfect portions for someone who doesn't eat much. The apps were made perfectly. The spring rolls were delicious. All our 3 Pho soups were good. Especially the grilled chicken pho. They used the same marinates as the pork chops. Overall all, we will come here again! Also, hot tea is free! The service was quick.

    Lua Vietnamese Cuisine is such a solid find--especially if you're craving pho on a budget. I came in for a quick dinner and left feeling full, happy, and already planning my next visit. For our appetizer, the summer rolls were fresh, tightly wrapped, and came with a classic peanut hoisin sauce that balanced everything out. A perfect light starter. The $10 pho is the star of the menu. While I found the broth a bit on the lighter side--less depth than some traditional spots--the noodles were still flavorful, comforting, and honestly hard to beat for the price. The portion was generous, and the meat was tender and fresh. For ten bucks? Yes please! I also tried the ube coconut coffee, and yum! Creamy, slightly sweet, and with that signature Vietnamese coffee punch--it's like dessert in a cup, but not overly rich. Definitely something I'd go back for alone if in the area. The space is clean, modern, and relaxed, and the staff were kind and helpful. Great for a casual meal that won't drain your wallet. Would give it 5 stars if the broth had a bit more depth--but for $10? Still totally worth it.

    Grilled pork banh mi- lacks meat

    $17 Pho your way flavor is a little bland and lacking any fragrance or aroma. They do not provide a lot of the side dish (bean sprouts, lime, basil) that usually goes into your noodle soups. The amount of meat they give per bowl is decent, could definitely be a little more but nothing to complain about. Their $10 Banh Mi - grilled pork- flavor is good but a third of it is bread sadly. It's a decent meal, not bad, but not good for the price. Not worth waiting more than 10 minutes to be seated as there are plenty of Viet restaurants in Edison. The location is conveniently located inside the Hmart plaza though, so if you're already in the area and craving viet food it's not the worst idea.

    Update-February 23, 2025 We went for Sunday lunch here. We ordered grilled Pork Chop plates and mini pancakes appetizer. The food taste great. Our Server was friendly and helpful. Very clean and nice ambiance. Lots of parking, but on Sundays it's very hard to get parking.

    My sister and I dropped in for a quick lunch. The restaurant was really clean and inviting. The as soon as you walk in the staff welcomes you in. It was a little of a struggle because he was unsure of the menu. We ordered the seafood fried rice, which he stated only had shrimp..... this was false because it had shrimp, squid, imitation crab ans some find of fish ball. My sister didn't like it. The pho broth was super flavorful. The porkchops were yummy but a little over cooked. I will be back to try other options

    Ba vi
    Priscilla P.

    The ba vi was absolutely delicious. It comes with grilled pork (nicely flavored, slightly charred, not too fatty), beef in grape leaves (juicy, flavorful - my favorite part of the dish), and minced shrimp packed together in a fried ball (very good as well). The pho was also good - a little bit on the lighter side, but was well portioned. They have Pho Wednesdays, which has a discount on Pho (the one where you pick your toppings manually).

The restaurant isn't flashy…read moreor trendy by any means, but I feel like that's part of its charm - just tasty Viet food in a casual, laidback setting that makes you feel at home. I don't often see Canh Chua Thom on menus at Vietnamese restaurants, and enjoyed it here. It's a tangy sweet and sour tamarind based soup that pairs well with rice, and feels nice and comforting especially on a cold day. I also tried the Banh Xeo appetizer (crispy pancake) and loved it! I appreciated that they offer different protein options besides the standard shrimp. The owners/staff here also seem so lovely. I overheard them greeting regulars as well as families they haven't seen in a long time, and it just felt so warm and personable. I'd definitely come back again to try their other dishes.

Pictures of the restaurant's food are everywhere as well, with some of them taped to the refrigerator behind the counter and others being depicted on canvases that hang on the white walls. Silk lanterns dangle from the ceiling in different colors and the walls are adorned with cultural items too. We ordered the following: Tra Thai, which is Thai Iced Tea- this was pretty good Soda Hot Ga, which is egg yolk with soda - hubs enjoyed it and liked it A2- Goi Cuon, which are spring rolls that are rice paper stuffed with shrimp, egg and noodles. It came with peanut sauce but we opted for fish sauce because of our daughter's peanut allergy. The rice paper wasn't soft and it felt rubbery. It was hard at the edges and made us wonder if it was premade. We wished it was fresher. S21 Bun Rieu, which is crab meat pork in tomato shrimp paste noodle soup. Daughter liked it and wasn't disappointed by it. D4- Mi Xao Dơn Do Biển, which is a combination of seafood and vegetables stir fried in a light sauce and served over crispy noodles. I was a little disappointed with this entree. We expected it to be egg noodles but it wasn't. There was hardly any proteins but mostly vegetable fillers. A9- Banh Xeo, which is coconut and rice flour crepe filled with a savory combination of bean sprouts and shrimp that's served on a bed of lettuce. This was ok but it wasn't as soft. The omelet tasted like it was overdone. I'm not sure if it was because we just came back from our trip to Los Angeles where all the Vietnamese food were top-notch but I felt a little disappointed with this place. Service was quick and friendly. Glad we got to try this place!

The initial customer service was warm and welcoming, and we were seated promptly. However, once our food arrived, it felt like the service tapered off. No one checked in on us throughout the meal to see if we needed anything or if everything was to our liking. A few table touches would have made the dining experience feel much more attentive. For appetizers, we ordered the shrimp and pork spring rolls. They were fresh and delicious, though I do think the portion size could be a bit larger for the $6.95 price. For our entrees, we both ordered the oxtail pho. It looked very appetizing when it arrived. I always like to take a sip of the broth before adding any condiments so I can appreciate its natural flavor. Unfortunately, the broth was very bland and lacked the rich, aromatic depth I expect from a good pho. It was disappointing because the presentation was excellent, but the broth ultimately fell short of expectations. Overall, the experience had a strong start with friendly service and prompt food delivery, but the lack of follow-up service and the underwhelming broth left me disappointed. With a more flavorful broth and more attentive service throughout the meal, this could be a much better dining experience.
