Reviews for Luc Lac Vietnamese Kitchen in Portland, OR
AMAZING VIETNAMESE FOOD ALERT!! The concierge at my hotel recommended Luc Lac and at first I wasn?t sold on having Vietnamese... but I am glad that I did. You can smell the aroma from the restaurant from a block away it was a Saturday night and all of theoutdoor tables were full and there was a line up down the side of the building. The line moved fast and you were able to chooseif you wanted to sit indoors or outsides. You order and pay for your food once you enter which makes the process after your doneeating smooth as you can just leave. The coconut curry chicken was amazing creamy and I got it mild and it was the perfectamount of spice. The signature dish Luc Lac was also tasty, spring rolls were fresh and delicious the only thing I would pass onis the shakes green iced tea as it had no flavour. The vibes in here are amazing as you can see by the light up artwork on thewalls! Read more
Pleasant meal! Counter service and then food is brought out to the table. Cocktails were rather good but came after the food.... Tofu salad was ingenious and delicious. The chicken rice bowl was great, except the crispy rolls that came on the side were morelike chewy rolls (and not so tasty). We had the green beans starter which was delicious?definitely would recommend getting itspicy! The tofu coconut curry was delicious, filling, fresh and flavorful. The tofu Tom yum pho had a nice flavor, greatnoodles, and lots of tofu?big portion. The stewed tomatoes didn?t seem to add a lot and overall it was much more like pho thanTom yum. Overall would recommend, great portions and a beautiful restaurant. Some of the recipe decisions were not what I wasexpecting however and could definitely be more excellent with a few tweaks. Just expecting more for the price! Read more
I was recommended this spot by some friends and it absolutely didn't disappoint. The smell of this restaurant from several... buildings down was like a siren's call to me, bringing me in. It was busy, so be mindful that a wait is expected, but the waitis worth it. Friendly staff greeted us and got our order taken. There aren't many options but you don't need a huge menu to getexpertly crafted goods. I ordered the luc lac and a cocktail that blew my mind. I will absolutely be going back here again.Great for a date night spot! Read more
Beautiful Asian style art in the restaurant and extremely fast, excellent service. By the time we ordered and got our forks and... chopsticks and sat down, the food was out. This was about a turnaround time of 2-4 minutes for our order of beef pho, papayasalad and chicken coconut curry. The salad and curry portions were huge! Enough curry and salad to feed 2-3 people so we had totake leftovers! Definitely recommend if you need a fast casual dine in restaurant to eat at with authentic flavors. There arealso outdoor seating options. Read more
Very cool and unique place for Vietnamese food. It is also a bar. I like the atmosphere and food. They are really high tech and... you can order with a QR code. The papaya salad, luc lac steak cubes and steak rolls were so yummy and lots of flavor. I like it Read more
Found this spot during a recent business trip to Portland. When I arrived, there was a line out the door and down the street - a... great sign. I had some time so I got in line and it moved reasonably quickly. You order at the counter and they give you a tablenumber. The food came quickly and it was fantastic. I got the wings small plate and the Luc Lac plate with the marinatedtenderloin. Both were excellent. Read more
Amazing food and such a great atmosphere! We had to wait a bit because it was so busy (a great sign for a restaurant) and the... staff was friendly and seemed to enjoy their work (also a great sign). The hip hop was turned up loud and the food was stellar. We wish we were staying longer so we could hit it up again tomorrow! We?ll be back! Read more
Loved how aesthetic their interior was! You pay first and then they will assign you to a table, all our food came within 10... minutes. We got the Train Pho (all beef cuts), the Luc Lac steak, and the chicken wings. Everything we got was supertasty! Waited about 20 minutes on a Friday night but overall a very fun experience. Read more
