Lac Viet

This is my ‘go-​to’ phở restaurant. Their soup is very fresh and flavourful along with their salad rolls and bubble tea’s. I highly recommend this restaurant and I’m so happy that it’s within walking distance from my house :)

This was my first time at Lac Viet and I was pleasantly surprised. The lemon grass chicken was great. Although the menu said «spicy» it wasn’t — and I was fine with that. I’m a mild salsa girl so this was perfect. The service was fast and it was quite busy with a younger crowd.

I was very surprised by the Beddington area — lots of pubs, a few fast food places, but not much in between. We almost stopped at an A&W because we needed something quick when D spotted this little vietnamese place. The idea of eating something quick, fresh, and flavourful was more appealing than the fast food option and we did not have time for a full sitdown pub experience.
We went in and got a seat at a nice little booth in the corner then poured through the menu, settling on a couple of bowls of #41 — Grilled Lemongrass Chicken with Vermicelli and Spring Roll.
I’ve never had a vermicelli bowl where the noodles were so freshly cooked that they were still warm. It was perfect! The salad was fresh with a very light dressing, and the spring rolls were hot and crispy. The sad part was the chicken — barely grilled, no lemongrass flavour, and not much of it anyway. Everything else was delicious right down to the fantastic hoisin sauce, but they definitely need to up the lemongrass and put some more chicken in that bowl.
The ratio was 50% noodles (decent and tasty) /​40% salad /​7% spring roll /​3% chicken.
If they can fix the chicken they’d be the best vietnamese place we’ve tried so far!

We went here because my fav place was closed this day and had heard some good things about this new place.
The food wasn’t bad — it wasn’t great either. There are so many places around here with great Vietnamese that I probably won’t make it back here unless it’s an emergency phở situation. There was a lack of flavour that’s for sure.
I will say that I was impressed with the décor and cleanliness though. Better décor than most phở places.

We have been to this restaurant for a number of times now. The restaurant is very clean. It also has lots of room so you do not feel claustrophobic as you do in some restaurants that pack people in like sardines. The servers are friendly and the food is comparable or better than other Vietnamese restaurants in the area.

Great place. I had the chicken satay phở, really good. Atmosphere is great! Very clean and tidy, even the bathrooms are spotless. I’ll definitely be back here!

I’ve been hearing rumblings about a new Vietnamese place opening up in the neighbouring hoods. Always on the hunt for a new local place, I couldn’t wait to check it out.
Totally delivered. Lovely little space, clean and airy. Lots of parking. And for 1 – 1:30 pm, quite busy with a revolving door of people coming and going. Word gets out when there is a good thing in the hood.
Three of us shared a couple dishes. Chicken satay with spring rolls, spicy chicken phở and some chicken salad rolls. The kids delighted in their large and in charge mango smoothies which were cleverly served in a to go cup. The smoothies lasted them all day.
Food was simply delicious. Service really good. Lovely people who brought us our food quite quickly I might add. And as I looked around at other tables… almost everyone was having Phở. Must have been a phở kind of day. Plus it was good.
Grabbed a take out menu, know we will be back.
