Dena D.

This place was on the way to work and is right next to my favorite matcha place's temporary location. To make my pick up order faster and easier I decided to order through toast. I ordered a shaking chicken or Ga Luc Lac. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I went inside to pick up my order it was nice, spacious, and smelled so good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The worker warmly greeted me and asked me if I had an order to pick up. The portion is pretty big and it comes with salad with pickled onions, chicken with onions and bell peppers, rice, and a lemon with salt and pepper sauce. The sauce that the chicken is in is super flavorful and the chicken is nice and juicy. The veggies and pickled onions add that nice burst of flavor.

Lemongrass pork vermicelli bowl

I have driven by Lúa Viet Kitchen countless times, and it has always caught my eye. The other day, I decided to make a trip there for lunch to give it a try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After ordering at the counter, I took a seat in their dining area which is very spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My food arrived quickly, and I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size and the presentation of my vermicelli bowl. All of the vegetables and herbs were supremely fresh, giving off bright flavors. The grilled pork was tender and savory, adding a good contrast to the crunch of the veggies. It was filling, but that didn't stop me from eating every bite! I'd definitely come back and recommend Lúa to anyone in the Montrose area looking for quality Vietnamese food!

Shaking Tofu Dau Hu Luc Lac
Chris F.

Their Shaking tofu saved my life. It's one of few dishes I will unconditionally glaze to anyone who's willing to listen before starting to worry that I might be overselling it. Then those worries are immediately quelched upon experiencing its deliciousness again. I recommend dumping the entire lemon vinaigrette onto the dish, it pairs exceptionally well with everything and really completes the dish. Workers there are all super nice, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoy everything about the ambiance minus the music (it's not bad just not my cup of tea).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Summer Spring Rolls (2) Goi Cuon
Briann R.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall very delicious and fresh food arced in a clean modern environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a vast menu with plenty of options and all the food is great. Today we took our food to go, and I LOVE how big and filling the portions are. I was a bit bummed that our wok-tossed bowls did NOT come with a split fried egg rolls like the picture shows online. I would have ordered egg rolls had I known. Not pictures, but I didn't order an additional side of broth and they gave me a TINY portion considering it's $4. Also considered had I had a noodle soup, it wouldn't have added enough to my dish to be worth the cost.

Saw this place when it was opening but I have never been since I know it's not authentic Vietnamese. And finally made it and yep it's a bit fusion which is OK. For sure this won't be in my list IG I'm craving for Vietnamese food.

Great quality Viet food with dishes you don't see at every Viet restaurants. Even World Cup tourists were dining when I was there. Fast preparation of the food too

Shaking Beef Bo Luc Lac
Justin T.

My experience with Lua Viet Kitchen has been strictly delivery to my job in the Medical Center. My team and I have ordered here a couple of times because it's been consistently good The food is packed nice and always arrives at a good temp and neatly presented as well. On our first try, boss lady ordered it without telling us and got everyone the same meal. We got Shaking Beef Bo Luc Lac and it's been or go to ever since. It comes with a generous portion of cubed, tender beef tenderloin. The cook on it is just right but you can order it to your liking as well. The seasoning on it is subtle but just right so you can actually taste the quality beef. It's served with a mound of jasmine rice which to me is the perfect side. A side of watercress salad is also served and comes with pickled onions, cherry tomatoes, and usually comes with a salt and pepper lime sauce. Online they advertise cilantro and scallion dipping sauce but we have never received that with our deliveries. The lime sauce pairs well with the salad though. The meal eats as a light and healthy meal but I'm always good for the rest of the day after eating it. Overall, I thoroughly enjoy ordering from here and definitely want to go dine in and try out the rest of their menu.

These dishes are incredibly photogenic. The plating and colors are outstanding. very modestly priced too. theres a parking lot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is big, plenty of tables, high ceilings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]its not your hole in the wall viet place, or fancy sit down dinner kinda place. in fact its incredibly modern, fast casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] that kinda place always give me mixed feelings. does the food and aesthetic loose the authenticity or not? you order at the counter, then sit, and a person will bring over your food. shrimp summer rolls - a must get. they nailed this. my date got the Crispy Five-Spice Hen Ga Xoi Mo. and we both loved this. in fact, i wish i got this. chicken is crispy on the ouside, juicy on the inside. he opted for coconut rice, and it killed. loved the sauce on theside too. salad wasnt needed. maybe they can opt in for something else? i got the Shrimp Broad Egg Noodle Mi Xao Mềm Tom and didnt love it. the portions are huge. but i feel it was too greasy and spicy. the veggies were overwheling. i think there could be more flavor too, it was kina greasy and bland. love the bar on the side where theres drinks and teas, so many sauces to grab, i loved all of that.

Lemongrass Chicken Ga Xao Xa Ot
Kristen C.

Came here for lunch and definitely enjoyed the food. I ordered the lemongrass chicken and it was tender and flavorful, just wish I had a little more chicken. I also ordered shrimp spring rolls which was delicious and fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is a little hidden but love the area because it seems to be in a peaceful neighborhood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was also friendly, fast, as well as the restaurant is very clean and organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I definitely would like to try out more from the menu. I recommend for a quick lunch or dinner with friends or family.

La Beef Soup Pho Bo
Jewls J.

The food was delicious! The egg rolls were perfect and the pho was amazing! The green tea seemed watered down but still okay. The food took longer than what I'm used to however it tasted amazing so it's worth the wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is clean and decorated nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

The honey wine was good too. Ambiance was very nice. It felt intimate and small. I do think service was a little slow. It took little bit for the food & towards the end of the meal we had to flag down the waitress a few times. Overall a good experience though. Definitly worth a try

However, the food is AMAZING!) There's kitschy memorabilia from the movies and books, and the front door looks like a Hobbit Hole! It has indoor and outdoor seating and it's just a lot of fun to go to. The staff is friendly and a lot of of them dress up like elves and hobbits, though don't go looking for anybody being well-versed in Tolkien lore. My one criticism, for which I'm not removing any stars, is when I got there, they handed me five menus! I got a drinks menu, a food menu, a food specials menu, a drink specials menu, and a Mead-specific menu. They have over 120 items on all of their menus! I would say this would be a problem in running a business but look at the first sentence of my first paragraph above. It's been open for over 50 years!

The fries were fresh, homemade, and tasted great when served hot. The Sunshine Burger was good overall, with fresh toppings and plenty of flavor. My only personal preference is that I'm not a fan of beyond meat substitutes, so that kept it from being a favorite for me. Next time, I plan to try the black bean burger instead. I also tried the Golden Milk juice, not a favorite of mine. The food was fresh, the portions were satisfying, and it's a great option for anyone looking for vegetarian or plant-based choices. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

After a conversation with Mr. James about the history of this location and the importance of their reputation and providing positive customer service, I came to the conclusion that this food is best enjoyed hot, fresh, and in house. There are a plethora of spaces for all kinds of people, whether quiet and reserved or lively and communicative. Sunshine's has a partially shaded patio that has a great ambience and honestly a pretty good place for small gatherings. To speak on the quality of the food, my experience this time around was excellent. I ordered the Black Bean Burger with a side of sweet potato fries. The patty was perfectly cooked and the addition of the veggies made it such a nutritious and light lunch. The only addition I would make is having a sauce ON the sandwich. However I did get some vegan mayo and a smoked sauce on the side to help with adding some moisture to the sandwich. Overall I am very grateful that I got to have a second experience here as I was hoping to become a loyal customer. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking to find a cultured food joint that emphasizes health consciousness!

One of my favorite Caesar salads in Houston! I think I've tried a couple of different things here…read morethat I also enjoyed, but the Caesar will always be the stand out for me. Typically, I get the Caesar without the chicken and it's still quite filling. The salad will be the same price even if you don't get the protein. The last time I was told that I could substitute the protein for any other item up to a certain dollar amount, assuming it was around the same price of the chicken. I really appreciated that as the times I've gone before no one ever offered that to me before. Every time I stop by service is super fast. Parking can be a little challenging, but they do have a parking garage. Super close in case you're unable to find any parking in the front lot. Luckily, I've been able to park in that front lot every time I've stopped by. I've always ordered to go, but the restaurant has decent seating and it's cute so I wouldn't mind taking a break and eating there.

I tried Berry Blast for a change and it just didn't hit as good for me. It tastes like a standard berry smoothie, but it's still good. I'll try the other two next time. PSA: ordering method is similar to Cava/Chipotle.
