Lúa Viet Kitchen

I love a good dumpling soup! Light broth, nice dumplings wrapped thin🤤 and a lot of fresh flavors married together making a perfect light lunch for me. I could eat this everyday, but I will definitely try other items. You can expect freshness and quality, fairly priced. Very friendly, pleasant staff. Clean open space. Order at the front. Drink and self service bar at the back.

Lot of great vegetarian options here! The tofu curry, broad noodle dish, and dancing tofu are all excellent choices. Everything comes with that wonderful wok hei flavor that really makes the dishes stand out. Portions are just right, and the food comes out quickly, which makes it perfect for lunch or a quick dinner. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for flavorful, veggie-friendly options!

Second visit to this location. Ordered the lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl & a side of beef broth. As others have shared this location misses the standard set by the original location on W Alabama. Food quality of a step down & I found it to be extremely salty. Wait time was approximately 15-20 min which seemed long given that every other customer had already received their food.

Lúa Viet is a Vietnamese restaurant in the Heights. I tend to go to Bellaire Blvd for all my Viet eats but wanted to try something closer and decided to give Lúa Viet a try. You order before sitting down, and I got a phở gà and cơm gà xối mỡ. I tried to give them some leniency because it is the one of the few Vietnamese restaurants within the inner loop, but the phở gà was the blandest phở I have ever had. The broth had no depth and lacked seasoning. They did give a large portion of noodles, which I usually prefer, but the broth was so lacking, I could not finish it. The cơm gà xối mỡ was okay. I was really disappointed and am not sure if I would give them a try again.

Food was fantastic. Some of the best egg rolls I’ve had in Houston. So crispy and crunchy. The 5 spice hen rice dish was amazing. I ate it and forgot to take a picture. Wife’s beef broad egg noodle was equally as good also no photo haha. Always recommend
