Mi La-Cai Noodle House

I was immediately and professionally welcomed, along with no wait to be seated. The immediate water was amazing too. I ordered an appetizer—and it came out within 2 minutes! My pho came out about 4 minutes later—which was also extremely quick. Everything was really clean, and the pho broth smelled so good and herbal. Definitely will be coming back here!

Vietnamese friend and I went here because... what can we say? We love our Vietnamese food. We ordered the crab rangoon, spicy beef sauté, and the la cai noodle soup. They were all suuuper good (not quite like homemade, but oh well)! I personally really liked the broth for the spicy beef, but I think my overall fav was the la cai noodle soup. I'm not usually a big seafood girly, but this one was good. Also, crab rangoon was fire. Environment was really nice, clean, and spacious. Definitely felt like a Vietnamese restaurant. The waiter (and I think the owner?) was super friendly, he gave me funny Viet grandpa vibes. Highly recommend!

I'd been here maybe 5 years ago and had loved it then. Still delicious, friendly staff, fast service and great prices. Highly recommended. Generous portions.

Just to let it be known that Pho is my special comfort food that I hold dearly in my heart whether it be the texture of noodles, variety of meats it has, best value for your money, and the main attraction is the broth itself that will …

My cousin used to live in SLC and knows all the good spots to hit up. So when she suggested this joint for dinner tonight, I knew it was going to be good. We showed up a before my cousin. We hung out after we put ourselves on the wait list. We got sat as soon as my cousin arrived. We got a nice table towards the back wall. We were in a good spot to check out the whole venue. This joint is a small venue but can hold quite a few tables. There were also a few private rooms which was pretty cool. It was poppin for a Thursday night. Our waiter came and dropped off waters. By the time he came back around, we all knew what we wanted. My cousin started us off with some cha gio. I snagged the pho special and my cousin ordered the tofu with mixed vegetables. The cha gio was dropped off first. They were quite tasty! The exterior was rice paper and is the only way cha gio should be made! I love the crunchiness of the fried rice paper. The filling was savory. Paired with the fish sauce, the ultimate sweet and savory combo! My pho came out piping hot! It looked like a smaller bowl but I was so wrong. I kept eating the noodles and thought I would never finish. You get a good amount of brisket, steak, meatballs, tripe and tendons. The broth was rich and warm. Everything about that bowl of pho was fantastic! The only flaw about this joint is the parking. Their parking lot of really small. But other than that, service was great! The food was fantastic! The venue was welcoming and warm. I had a great dinner here tonight. I'm happy I got to check this joint out while staying here in SLC.
