Reviews for Lac Vien Express Restaurant in Scarborough, ON
I always buy lunch here because it’s convenient, they have the drive thru and it’s usually fast. Yesterday, we decided to... eat at the restaurant. The waitress was nice and helpful. My regular order is usually grilled chicken and rice with fried eggbut this time I changed it to General Tao Chicken, boy was I wrong for this. An hour after, I started to feel something wrongwith my belly. I ended up with food poisoning. Fast forward next day, I’m still puking and staying in the washroom 80% of thetime. This is really bad. Never had an issue with their food before. Maybe yesterday’s meat was spoil. Read more
I haven't been here since the pandemic started and thankfully, it hasn't changed. The staff is attentive and food comes out... quickly. My party of 2 had fresh shrimp spring rolls and we both had Vermicelli, with grilled chicken. This also comes with adeep fried spring roll, so probably could have done without the fresh, but they're just SO good. All ingredients were very freshand we were thankful for the friendly staff filling our glasses with water and tea constantly. We will undoubtedly return. Read more
I love this little gem! Usually use their drive thru but this time around I brought my husband with me and he isn't familiar... with the menu so decide to order inside, we were offered a table so decided to dine-in. Dine-in experience was lovely (thisbeing our first time dining out since the pandemic) we were offered tea or water, which was refilled throughout our dining, thedishes were plated nicely and the servers ( we had about 3 of them) were all nice and welcoming. Even though their menu isn'textensive I find it be to a great restaurant! Read more
One of the best Vietnamese restaurants out there. I have been going here for many years periodically. Their food is always great... and customer service is excellent too. My wife usually eats special Pho bowl while I usually like to eat grilled chicken onrice. This time I tried Beef Stew Noodles. The broth taste was very good. I believe satay beef noodle probably a better option,I will try it next time. Even though Beef Stew Noodles were good but I felt that noodles were a bit less in my bowl. The beefwas as big chunks of cooked meat which I loved as I prefer to eat well cooked meat. Last time I had grilled chicken on rice.The chicken was very well made. Portion was good for the price. The staff is very friendly and they truly looked aftercustomers. They checked up on us few times to make sure everything was ok. All the sauces are on the table so you don't have toask. The place is very clean and well maintained. The washroom are very clean and roomy which is very hard to find thesedays. I strongly suggest this place for some good Vietnamese food in Scarborough. They even have a take out window in case youwant it take out. Read more
? ? ? ? ? Okay. We were looking for a place to eat pho. We are usually picky with the presentation and how it taste. But this... place deserves a five star. It’s wasn’t busy at all when we arrived there. The staff is very accommodating AND theyunderstand their priorities (what every customer is looking for). During our time, they always kept a tab on us making sure thatwe have everything we need. I love that one of the staff (I believe she’s new) spoke to us in a manner that is so welcomingand friendly (very down to earth). Staff like “her” brings a vibrant atmosphere to the restaurant. In terms of timemanagement, they are actually very quick to serve maybe because it wasn’t so busy. They didn’t lose track on serving us(common problem in restaurants). Overall, the food quality is tasty but the one I had which was the beef option—it was alittle bit difficult to chew. The pricing IS REASONABLE. I recommend you to try this place. If you are trying out pho for thefirst time without having to deal with rude services this place will serve you just right. Read more
I like it. I went here on a Friday evening for dinner. The restaurant is clean, the staff are attentive and polite. They were... enforcing all the COVID protocols. I really liked the hot tea. I ordered the rice mean with Thai chicken curry with fried rice,shrimp tempura, and fried vegetable spring rolls. The food is good. They also offer drive thru. I recommend this place. Read more
Outdoor patio is opened (if weather permits) and they do take reservations. Love their food, but there are not too many... selections on the menu. Nice friendly customer service. Read more
I'm a frequent customer to this establishment. Not once have they got my order correct at the drive thru. However, I don't... think it's the employees fault as the speaker box is in a noisy area. Your better off driving straight up to the window andordering if no one is in line, or walk in. Excellent potions, but a little pricey. Read more
