Lam Hoa Thuan

$11 for an over portioned noodle... Roast duck is so good! Kid-friendliness: They have boosters.

One of the best values in the city. Try their pork chop rice plate or their vermicelli with grilled pork or chicken with egg roll. Those are my go to’s. The pork chops with rice is enough to share unless you’re a big eater. Seat yourself. Don’t expect someone to tell you where to sit. Once seated, they will bring you tea and menus. No fluff.

Bbq items are great. Noodle soup Is mediocre. I’d just stick to the bbq items next time.

I went to this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation, as she mentioned they serve excellent roast duck. So, I decided to try it out and ordered the roast duck, along with an additional boiled salted chicken. Upon entering, I noticed that the majority of the customers were Chinese. When a staff member asked for my order and proceeded to cut the duck for me, he chose a very skinny one with barely any meat. I explained that I preferred a different one since I had paid the same amount as everyone else and didn't want to end up with a skinny duck. I didn't want to be the unlucky person with less meat. However, when I reached the cashier to pay, it seemed there was a misunderstanding. They gave me two ducks instead of one. I clarified that I only wanted one, but the cashier seemed unwilling to accommodate my request. She insisted that since the duck had already been cut, I couldn't return it. I found this frustrating as I hadn't even touched or opened the box. The situation escalated when she spoke rapidly in Chinese, which I didn't understand. Adding to the inconvenience, the restaurant only accepted cash, and despite this, they required customers to pay taxes. It felt odd to imagine them avoiding taxes but still expecting customers to cover that expense. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough cash on hand, so I had to go to the bank to withdraw money. Overall, I found the customer service to be subpar and the atmosphere unwelcoming.

Fast quick service and fresh food

Restaurant did not serve half the stuff they had on their menu, food was alright so it wasn’t a problem till rude waiter demanded a tip, she was upset about the amount of tip we had left at first and said she wanted at least 5 dollars after we felt forced and uncomfortable to leave more money she still had the audacity to count it in front of us to make sure it was a minimum of 5 dollars which we felt it was undeserved due to the lack of quality in costumer service.

Excellent Vietnamese place known best for their roast duck, frequented quite heavily by locals. You'll see lines out the door for hot food takeout, but you can also partake in dine-in service. It's fairly quick and easy to get a seat even during peak times. My favorite dish on the dine-in menu is the bun bo hue (specially prepared spicy beef soup with pig trotters, cubed pork blood, and round bun noodles).
