La Sen

La Sen means Lotus. Kenny.. was my host, bartender, and waiter for this PHO-KING journey into a 6 month old restaurant it was PHO-KING AMAZING!chủ sở hữu, xin vui lòng cho nhân viên nấu ăn biết rằng đã làm nên bữa ăn ngon. Cảm ơn (owner, please let the cooking staff know that made the delicious meal. thank you)Ambiance, CLEAN, open (not one tight space there), private rooms for parties, very well designed with no overkill on any of it! See the PHO-NOMAL PUCTURES BELOW. Pricing very reasonable.Started with ice tea hand made from tea leaves before you get it, comes with 1 refill, stong yet Mello for a cool 108 today. Decide to order the vietnamese egg rolls, pot stickers, and lemongrass beef noodle bowl.Post stickers: right out of frying, crisp and delicious with a warm meaty center. When I bit into the pot sticker, PHO-LAVOR boosts combo with the crispness on the outside amazing with or without the sweet sauce! Vietnamese eggrolls: Look at them eggrolls pictures! Just right and hot AF as they just came out of the fryer. Crunch through the 4 layers of crispness just to get to be given another burst of different flavors. You can't get any closer in my own opinion to being in Vietnam by the river or with new people you meet just enjoying a snack together.Finally, lemongrass beef noodle bowl: This is the lemongrass flavor I have been searching for, lemongrass flavor in the marinated beef with other spices, and has a nice just carmilized edges of the beef, noodles, mint, lettuce, carrots, cucumber, onions and peanuts. I like to call this the deconstructed PHO bowl. Check this out think of this LEMONGRASS BEEF PHO. I asked if they were able to make it, not able to do it at this time. It's all good!Overall, it was a great experience from walking in to walking out after eating. Yes, it was not busy. 3 tables when I got there, don't let that stear you away, because once this place gets hot and you can't get in....then... I TOOK THE CHANCE YOU SHOULD TOO!

Very nicely decorated inside especially for a Vietnamese food place. Seeing how it is I was expecting the pricing to be high, but with inflation nowadays it was comparable to hole in the wall Pho spots. There are over the top pricey items if you went to go fancy route. The Steak Pho, Pho Thai was $12. The pho broth was delicious. The meat came out a bit more cooked than we would have wanted. Bun Bo Hue was so good on the first couple bites. Then it got a bit fishy as I ate more. The fish sauce got very strong. Maybe next time ask if it's possible to get light fish sauce. The service was great! They have a private room if you want to have an event or gathering.

Above average Viet Food for a reasonable price!The good:-the food was pretty good overall, ordered the Pho & Bun Bo Hue. There's nothing crazy about the dishes though, but it definitely satisfies a craving -prices are fairly reasonable and is the reason I'll come back. -service is solid, as we came in late & there were not many customers dining near closing hours. -portions are descent, but not the largest I've seen. Still you'll leave satisfied. The bad:Bun Bo Hue came out a little bit fishier than we wanted, so it would've nice to be able to control the amount of fish sauce.

I may have found my new favorite spot for pho! The steak pho was amazing! Their pork & shrimp spring rolls were delicious, too. Great portions and a well thought out menu.

Update after visiting the 2nd time: I checked out their Bun Bo Hue and the broth tasted bland like water. I don't taste the lemongrass in the broth. What happpend to the first Bun Bo Hue I had? They were out of vegetables as well. The food quality is not consistent.Service is still great though.

I stopped in to try a new Vietnamese restaurant that served more options than just pho.The menu had different selections like raw beef salad, fish sauce, chicken wings, and noodles soups. Unfortunately, there were a lot of items on the menu that were no longer available. I would say the food was lacking flavors and did not taste authentic. Also, I like my noodle soup piping hot, so I was very disappointed when my Bun Riej came out lukewarm.I was hoping this restaurant would have authentic Vietnamese food.

I recently ordered takeout from here to help me get over a fever. I like to think their food helped hasten my recovery!I was too sick to take pictures, but we ordered a lot and loved every bite. All the takeout boxes were labeled and had these pink stickers to keep them closed!I hope to visit here soon so we can enjoy our dinner at this delicious restaurant!Our order was: shrimp egg rolls, fresh shrimp rolls, steal and meatball pho, crispy roasted pork banh mi, garlic noodles

Second visit! Came in around 6/6:30 on Sunday evening with my family since they wanted to try this place. We were seated pretty quickly. It took a while to get our drink orders in (about 10 mins). Once our drinks came out, our food orders were taken pretty quickly. It didn't take too long after that to receive our food! Our order: Pork & shrimp lotus saladBun bo hue w/ sliced beef & brisketBun mamCombination noodle bowl (bun dac biet)Combination stir fry (xao dac biet) The lotus salad was pretty good! Light, citrusy and refreshing! You can't see them in the photos but I swear there is pork and shrimp underneath all the onions and lotus lol. Bun bo hue broth looked a bit light in color (photo was enhanced but it was light in person). Flavor was also light and could use a bit more. Wasn't bad though! I asked for an extra side of saté and added like 3/4 of it in. I like mine spicy!! Saté wasn't spicy but it still added a nice flavor. Both the sliced beef and brisket were pretty tender. Veggies were fresh!My mom said her bun mam was good but the broth wasn't hot enough. She also wished it came with a sauce for dipping that other places usually give. My dad's noodle combination bowl looked pretty! Nice presentation and I like the bowl it comes in. He just needed some Sambal but other than that, I think he liked his dish. My brother was expecting the noodles for his combination stir fry to be bigger. He also felt the portion size was a bit small. Overall, an improvement since the first time!

Very good pho noodles and very nice and cozy restaurant. And very affordable. Cheaper then other pho place around the area. I would go back once a week if my family feels like eating pho.

Newest hidden gem off Germann Rd and Dobson Rd!! Must try if you want to try Vietnamese food!Great ambience! Best of all, a large variety of vietnames food to choose from (Vietnamese sandwiches, pho, hot pot, etc) at very reasonable prices! Very delish! Try the beef garlic noodles and their variety of spicy noodle (soup) and pho. Very courteous staff. We r going to try the hot pot next time we come here!
