I took my girlfriend here for dinner and it was delicious. We started with the soft pillows with pork belly and the way the flavors came together was amazing. For our entrees we got the chicken pho and I was very impressed with the large portion size. Best pho I’ve had hands down, I will now be a regular. Can’t go without mentioning the peaceful environment, great music, and great service. This place is a St Pete staple and I highly recommend trying it if you are in the mood for great quality food and good vibes.

The atmosphere, the food, and the service here are great. I’ve always been impressed with their food. My only complaint is that they pass the credit card fees to the customer.

Wow! Great restaurant, love the decor. Excellent service. So much to choise from. Their kimche is really good. Beef pho is excellent. Fried crepe appetizer is sooo good!
La V is a culinary delight that exceeded all my expectations. Combining traditional Vietnamese flavors with innovative twists, every dish on their menu is a masterpiece. From the fragrant pho to the mouthwatering banh mi, each bite is a symphony of flavors that leaves you craving more. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal with friends or a romantic dinner for two. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend their latest creations or customize a dish to your preferences. With reasonable prices and impeccable service, La V Vietnamese Fusion has earned its place as my favorite dining spot in town. Whether you're a die-hard fan of Vietnamese cuisine or simply looking to explore new flavors, this restaurant is a must-visit.

One of the few Vietnamese restaurants serving Bun cha hanoi. Amazing!

I had the Saigon Udon, and my friend had the Mekong Delta. The food was delicious but not as spicy as I had hoped it would be. They did have a caddy with chili oil, hoisen sauce, and other things to add to your dish. The chili oil was spicy enough. I wish they had taken the time to tell us what all was on the caddy.the Mekong Delt came with a fish paste sauce that none of the Waite staff knew what it was. I also ordered a side of kimchi that I never received but was also not charged for. I will definitely be going back to this spot.

Great location in DTSP. We went in a Sunday before the brunch crowds so we found a perfect spot right out front. Service was pretty slow and then I saw an older Vietnamese lady coming out of the kitchen while preparing food. I immediately felt like I was about to have a grandma's home cooked meal and I will wait all day for that. The fresh rolls were flavorful and huge. My fiance's pho was a sizeable bowl. He had a bit of my incredible lemongrass beef banh mi and wanted to take two to go. Prices were fair for the area and the atmosphere was comfy. The food is the star and worth the trip.

I have to agree with a prior review that the Vietnamese iced coffee is not traditional at all. It tastes more like a diluted milk tea. Disappointing considering it was nearly $8. Staff was very kind and the interior was lovely though.

The food at La V is wonderful! And the portion sizes are perfect (leaning to the side of a little too much - which is nice if you want to take some home for a snack!) The flavors are soooo good too! The service was great for our party of six. This is the third or fourth time I have been there and I will be back again!

Very good food and reasonable. Usually here on a business lunch. Not many places are open downtown St. Pete for lunch on a Monday. The La V Vermicelli Bowl is fantastic.
