My friend and I stopped by Phuket Cafe on a whim for dinner on a Tuesday night. I was genuinely…read moresurprised to see a Thai-inspired paella on the menu, and of course I had to order it! It was incredibly flavorful, hearty, and easily big enough to share. Honestly, if I went back, I'd probably just order the paella and skip the extra appetizers as the paella was filling. The menu is very family-style friendly, making it easy to share a few dishes with the table. There was plenty of seating, we were seated quickly and the food came out fast too. If the Thai paella catches your eye, do yourself a favor and order it - you won't regret it.

Seating was cozy and the space was very nice. Wasn't too loud. Really busy when I was there, but Service was relatively quick. All things that got there highlight was the chick pops. Seriously the way they do the waffles in the chicken is amazing. The chicken is like Japanese kaarage style and they made the little waffle bits to perfection. One thing I would not order again is the Vietnamese coffee. It was very sweet and not enough coffee in my opinion. Overall, everything delicious satisfying and would definitely come here again. Two thumbs up and strongly recommended to anyone!!!

It seemed promising when we arrived because the space is very cute and clean, with lots of greenery. The umbrellas and piano make the space look unique and enticing. We were greeted warmly and seated quickly. We ordered the non-fried spring rolls as a starter. They were not good and I regretted my choice. They were wrapped sloppily and seemed to lack filling. It reminded me of a moist sock sliding off of a foot. The veggie filling had a nice flavor, but the damp draping roll wrap grossed me out. I wished I could just toss them in a deep fryer. We decided to share the coconut curry noodles with tofu, and the okra dish, and we both added one samosa on the side. The curry noodles were shockingly bland. I did not taste curry at all, only coconut. Not a speck of curry flavor. It was weird, because the noodles were yellow...my brain kept expecting flavor that never came. It screamed for salt, and there was none on the table. It also left a bland, chalky coating on your tongue. The tofu in the dish was not good. The pieces were cut all different sizes and it had a musty bitter flavor that I was not expecting. I couldn't even eat it. I was also surprised that the dish lacked vegetables...it was garnished with raw red onion, cilantro, and some horrible dry store-bought brand crunchy noodles. I was shocked by how much I hated that dish. The okra dish was a little better (it actually had some flavor) but it was very one-note and I would not call it good. The main flavor I got was smoked paprika, which was kinda nice but overpowering, as it tasted raw and needed to be cooked through more. The tiny potatoes were raw which was really not cool. There's not much I hate more than undercooked potatoes. The eggplant was also undercooked and spongy. The okra was ok. Even the rice was not good. It was mushy and came in a pathetically tiny portion served in a small cup that was barely half full. The samosas were probably the worst thing we had. I wouldn't even call it a samosa. It was a tiny greasy triangle of mostly dough. There was a single pea and a tiny smear of overly-salty potato filling. I was shocked at how bad they were. My wife didn't even finish hers even though it was tiny. It was that bad. Worse than the food was the stupid robot waiter. We had to push a gross (obviously smeared and dirty) button to make the robot go away after bringing our food. And we could tell that the waitress was also annoyed by it, as she had to walk it through the restaurant like it was a toddler taking its first steps. So dumb. This was the worst and most expensive lunch I have had EVER. It is rare that I try a new place and don't like anything I try. It was kind of shocking, actually. I will never be back.

A huge proportion of the menu is default vegan or can be ordered vegan, so we were spoiled for choice. We ordered: -Green Tea Lead Salad ($20) - spicy version -Ginger salad ($20) -Garlic noodles with tofu ($20) -Chickpea tofu curry ($23) -Stir-fried okra side dish ($8) Both salads were outstanding, with a wonderful array of crunchy textures, and great balance of sour and salty. The garlic noodles were a tad too salty, but otherwise tasty. The chickpea tofu curry was also fantastic, coming with a tomato-y sauce -- the tofu was firm and had wonderful texture. Service was a bit slow but friendly. Price level is pretty high compared to other Burmese spots in town. But the quality is there. Recommended.

It's on the sweet side, but I needed something sweet as a buffer since some of the dishes we ordered were a bit too salty. -Thai-Style Ceviche, 11/10. No friggin' notes. I highly recommend. Portion is a bit small, because I could have eaten MORE. -Sweet & Sour Fried Chicken was decent. We ordered the Small and it was about 5-6 boneless pieces. Very unique. I recommend to try if you like fried chicken. -Wok-Fried Yu Choy was wayyyy tooooo salty. Hubs & I wanted some greens and it was fried with generous amounts of garlic, but it just got saltier and saltier as we ate it. -White Curry w/ Brisket Burnt Ends, this dish was a little bit of a mixed bag. The white curry (roasted cauliflower + coconut cream) was delicious, but did it pair well with the Brisket Burnt Ends? Not really IMO. I don't think the flavors match. I'm not exactly sure what would pair well with the white curry, maybe some veg or tofu...but BBQ fusion with the curry wasn't the best. 2 unisex restrooms available, the one I used was clean. Service was a little scattered. We got the Yu-Choy first, followed by the ceviche a few minutes later. But the Fried Chicken and White Curry took a while to come (about another 10-15 mins. to come). We were lucky to find some street parking in the neighborhood nearby.

The inside still looks really cute, but my mom and I didn't get to sit in the woven chairs even though it was pretty empty when we went. I probably should have asked to move tables, but I didn't want to make it a hassle for the staff. We ordered the cheesy crab wontons, shrimp pad thai, and crispy chicken. The crab wontons were really good , crunchy and filling are well seasoned it wasn't just stright up cream cheese, I enjoyed them a lot with the sweet chili sauce. The crispy chicken was also really yummy, can't say the same for the the pad thai tho it was so, so salty. I'll continue to come back in the future!

We ordered the pho with steak and brisket, and it was delicious! We also got the vermicelli with pork, which had a lot of flavor. The portions are pretty generous, so the vermicelli would be great to share. Overall, we had a great experience at Luc Lac.

Let me tell you, if they had this place in Seattle, it would be poppin' for sure. Loved the decor, and the service was amazing. We were a party of 8, and they did the most to get us seated. They even combined two tables for us without too much wait. We appreciated this so much! This is one of those places where you order at the counter, and they bring your food to your table, although they also seat you. So you wait in line to order, and then you wait a little longer to get a seat. The menu is on a huge, lit-up billboard behind the counter, so you'll see folks crowded in that area trying to read it. The food was alright, no one was particularly blown away. I got a pho, and I would say it was okay. I think you come here more for the vibe and scratching that craving than for out-of-this-world food/flavors. The music is good, the servers were all super friendly, and it's a great vibe. Fyi, there's mostly street parking.

He walked us through different dishes, gave us recommendations and pairings, and you could tell he really wanted us to have a great experience. I was so happy with everything we ended up choosing. I started with the Evergreen, which was incredibly refreshing and paired beautifully with the sushi. I especially loved the little Japanese kiwi popping pearls, such a fun surprise! For sushi, we had the king salmon, spicy yellowtail, lobster rolls, and yuzu hamachi. The yuzu hamachi was one of my favorites, and everything came out looking almost too pretty to eat. And don't skip dessert! We had the Japanese matcha tiramisu, which was both beautiful and genuinely fun to eat. I'd definitely order it again. What makes me want to come back is the sheer variety. There's so much more than sushi--land and sea dishes, hot and cold plates, creative drinks, and a whole assortment of desserts. I already know there are several things I didn't get to try this time. The restaurant is definitely lively, with fairly loud music, but we could still talk comfortably across the table. Overall, it felt like one of those dinners where the food, atmosphere, and service all become part of the experience. I left already thinking about what I'd order next time, which is always a good sign.
