Lua Viet Kitchen

This is a counter-service Vietnamese restaurant. The food is decent, but it is relatively expensive for Vietnamese cuisine in Houston. They offer a good selection of rice dishes and noodle soup, with the bo luk luk being pretty good. Portion size is average. They have a good beverage selection with a interesting selection of Tractor juices. The environment is modern, clean, bright, and comfortable, above average for Vietnamese shops. They have an indoor seating area and a decent patio outside with shade. A reasonable choice in the area if you are prioritizing a more comfortable environment with good enough food and can tolerate the slightly higher prices.

Really good Vietnamese food with a lot of healthy options. My friends and I dropped in for lunch. You order at the register and not much to be said about service per se. We shared some spring rolls which were pretty good but I would say had way too many greens! Lol! The peanut sauce was very nice and rich albeit a bit too sweet for me. I got the Chicken curry Ga Xao Lan and was very happy with it. Flavorful, spicy, plenty of curry- was absolutely delicious! I believe one of my buddies got the Shaking beef bo luc lac and the other got the Angus seared beef. The both loved their dishes too. They have a good drink menu too and wish I had tried some of their teas.

We've been coming here for about the past year. Food is mostly consistent. We dine in and order carry out about an even amount. There are two different gentleman that are usually on shift, running the food and cleaning the tables. They are very nice and speedy. Cashiers are usually dry. Barely speak. It's a chill spot. Standard cafe vibe. Not much of an ambiance, but it works. I recommend the garlic egg noodles with chicken (the chicken can be hit or miss). When ordering online, they don't give you soy or chile paste with the orders, so be sure to ask when you're picking up.

Love the food here. Enough said in my opinion. I've been coming here since I first moved into Houston. I usually go for the five spice hen. Anything shaking is good, wonton soup delish, and the garlic noodles a little greasy but if you like garlic it's worth it. You can't really go wrong in my opinion. The staff is chill but not rude. The ambience is a little lacking. It is right across from the Menil so I usually recommend it to those planning a trip there.

I like Lua Viet kitchen so much because it’s really cozy and warm and I like it because I love the food. I love where the place is and you could see outside if you like or sit outside. All their food is delicious and all their drinks are just so good and I feel like the place is like my second favorite place to be. We love it so much that I would go to it every night if I could. I love the spot so much. I love the pho they make they don’t have like any fat meat in it because the kid pho is perfect and the big pho for the grown-ups and all their food they have. It’s just way too good for me I love it so much.Your re
