Luc Lac Vietnamese Kitchen offers an authentic and delightful dining experience. While the exterior may appear a bit unassuming, the interior creates a festive and cozy atmosphere, complete with a bar. The ordering process is straightforward, with customers paying at the front and retrieving their own water and utensils.
The menu features a variety of Vietnamese specialties, including a well-received Pho with a flavorful broth and ample meat. The Phó Ga (chicken) is especially praised for its comforting and healing qualities, often described as medicine for the soul, stomach, and taste buds. The Papaya salad, Peanut Curry, and Coconut Curry are also highly praised for their authenticity and delicious flavors. Portions are generous, making Luc Lac a great option for sharing with friends or family. Many customers find the food worth the wait, and some mention that the flavor is unmatched compared to other places in NY.
The service is quick and efficient, with staff providing helpful recommendations. First-time visitors might benefit from a bit more assistance, especially for to-go orders, which can sometimes take a little longer. Despite limited seating, the restaurant offers excellent value, with entrees ranging from $15 to $20. It is also a popular spot, often busy on weekend evenings, and occasionally offers deals like 50% off on Uber Eats, allowing customers to get multiple meals at a great price. Overall, Luc Lac Vietnamese Kitchen is a must-visit for those seeking authentic and satisfying Vietnamese food in a lively setting.
