Luc Dinh Ky Restaurant

Yumm!! I saw pics on Yelp of the bo luc lac over crispy chow mein so has to try it out. It's in the order of a plaza and right on the street so easy to find. Big parking lot so lots of parking. We came on a sat afternoon but surprisingly it was not busy. We came during off hours so possibly that's why it wasn't busy. Got seated right away. There are 2 locations so not sure how the otter location is. I ordered the bo luc lac with crispy noodles and it was so good!! It comes with a complimentary tea. My bf really like it too that we ended up eating all of it there. I also ordered the bo luc lac with crispy rice To-go for the next day, which was also really good. It goes really well with their sauce.

Lots of parking. Food comes out fast and always hot! They always treat us like family. We've been coming here for 10+ years and don't plan to stop coming anytime soon!

Every time I go here, I order the same meal, which is the Fried Salmon with Crunchy Rice. I have yet to see any other restaurant make crunchy rice the way they do. That or this restaurant was one of the first to do so years back. The food quality has stayed consistent for the nearly 10+ years this restaurant has been in business. I keep coming back just for this Fried Salmon meal.Service is mediocre. The restaurant environment and ambiance are lacking, but the meal itself is worth it. The price is well worth the quality of the food. It is best to eat inside the restaurant, that way the rice stays crunchy. You also get a free sweetened drink with every meal. Summary:- BATHROOM. It is a one-person-only bathroom.- CLEANLINESS. The restaurant's interior is pretty old. The furniture and tables aren't the nicest or modern-looking, but it's decent enough.- COSTS. Very affordable for the portion of food given. I think eating in person will have a large portion compared to to-go because the container package limits the amount. Around ~$15 per meal. - CUSTOMER SERVICE. Lacking. They only see you once for the order and once for the bill. - FOOD QUALITY. The ingredients are fresh and always crispy. Eat there in person so you can savor the moment!- FOOD QUANTITY. A decently sized portion. You will get full from any one meal.- WAIT TIME. Around 10 minutes for the crunchy salmon with crispy rice. This was even during peak lunch time, so it is pretty quick.

Our family "go to" for noodles... mostly the "BBQ pork wonton noodles" and "chow fun (dry)! So good

This is one of my favorite places to get com bo luc lac (shaken beef) in the area! I like to order it with the hot pot rice, since I love crispy rice. The beef itself is super hot, fresh and flavorful. I've been coming to this location for years and it never disappoints. They also give you free nuoc mat (with free refills) with your meal as well, which is a plus!

My boss brought me here after I gave her a ride to an appointment. We got the salmon with hot pot rice. The salmon was perfectly fried and the hot pot rice was crispy and delicious as well. It came with two dipping sauces. A thicker gravy like sauce and then a spicy soy sauce like sauce. I ate every single bite!!!!! You get a free order of nuoc mat which is an artichoke and pandan tea which is delicious!

My go to dishes are: Com ca Salmon Pho ap chao Mi Luc Dinh Ky I've been going here for years and it's hasn't changed one bit. Good comfort Vietnamese food. They give free nouc mat, a cold sweet chrysanthemum tea, which is really refreshing.

It's an old charm with good food. Been here twice as we have to drive 40+ minutes to get here. I love the crispy rice with salmon. We also ordered noodle soup on the side, opt for just fish cake only and they can accommodate. Came at Thursday dinner, the place pretty pack, but the service still alright. We didn't need to wait long for the food. Will be back again!

Yelpers, and Public, please inspect your food at all times before consumption at Luc Dinh Ky Restaurant. I repeat "Please inspect your food at all times before consumption at Luc Dinh Ky Restaurant.Found hair on First and Second Bowl of Pho Soup, plus two Forks and a Spoon in it.My family and I are Mexican, and love Pho Soup. We been going to a different Vietnamese restaurant for years and on Friday November 15, 2024 we decided to try Luc Dinh Ky Restaurant for the first time. We walked into Luc Dinh Ky Restaurant at around 8:30 pm, and we waited for directions from staff as to where to sit. So the waitress pointed out a table but her demeanor was not pleasant. We sat and after that everything was really unexpected. My family and I felt very unwelcomed here, the environment here was not pleasant at all. So the waiter came to our table like if he was in a rush placed the menus and left. He came back minutes after to take our order, and as we were almost done ordering I said "and to Drink we want Sprite and.." he interrupted me by saying Free and another word in Vietnamese and left me talking.The waiter came back with some iced tea that I didn't order and left again.Came back for the third time with our Pho and placed it on the table in a rush and left. As I was about to eat the soup I found a long hair on my Pho Soup. So I turned and he was standing few feet away, and politely called him and showed him the hair on the soup and asked him to please correct the mistake.So he took the bowl of soup to the kitchen and comes back with a bowl of soup and placed on the table and left.So for the second time I stirred the bowl of soup and the hair was still there.I called him for the second time showed him again, and politely told him that I was not going to eat that and to take that back. He ignored me left the bowl of soup on the table. During this time he never apologized for anything. It took about 5 minutes for a women to come to our table and apologize, offered another bowl of soup at no cost, so I explained to her that by that time my family and I were already disgusted. So we paid for all the food we ordered minus the bowl of soup. We are not going back to Luc Dinh Ky Restaurant ever again! It was terrible!We suspect that this is more of a race/discrimination situation. They wanted to make sure we don't go back there ever again and they got what they wanted.Please don't be deceived by the good reviews!
