****. Seinfeld had the soup nazi Lavang has the noodle nazi. Seriously, once you get know Chris you will find that is good, hard working, kind person....he's just Chris.
I am not a big fan of pho but their bun (noodle) and com (rice dishes) are very good, always prepared with fresh ingredients.
Grerat Food. The food is great and always fresh. I eat there a few times a week for lunch and it is the best value in town. I highly recommend Lavang -
Great food and ver personable service. Their rice bowl is great and the fried rice is so good. If you don't like something, they will take care of you. Highly recommend trying this place.
Best Pho in Portland area. Great prices, friendly casual.
Food is good. It's hard to find good price food that is fresh and convenient in our little neighborhood, but this restaurant has them both. I have to admit that the guy running the place is a bit crass most of the time, but I've lived in New York, so this type of attitude is not unique. If you go in with that expectation, then no worries. At the end of the day the food is always good, not fatty like some asian restaurants and while he might not be the friendliest person on the block, the guy running the place does a great job of getting the food to you fast and swift. After going more than once, he knows your face which says a lot, there are a lot of regulars, from what I can tell, from sitting there a couple times and dining in (usually do carry out). You definitely don't want to be there in the summer months that it hits 90 because the restaurant is not air conditioned....but otherwise, fast food, quick service, good quality and tasty is much better than most of the other options
Best Vietnamese Food In Oregon.. Anyone who gets their panties in a twist about the owner just needs to calm down. It is part of the experience. He is hilarious. He is putting on a bit of a show so you just need to take it as that. The food is so incredible I don't care if I was eating it off a piece of cardboard served to me by the soup nazi. It is always an experience going to Lavang. You will always have a story to tell due to the eccentricity of the owner, and a full, satisfied tummy due to the incredible vermicelli noodle, pho, salad rolls...the list goes on. A gem in Lake Oswego!
Great Pho! I like my Asian restaurants a little dive-ish and Lavang threw me off because its a nice clean place with a serious neighborhood vibe. I was impressed by the owner. It seemed like he knew everyone who came through the door and he made an effort to chat. I got the feeling that I was seeing the real guy and not a fake. So glad my new home town has this gem.
Excellent food! Bring your best etiquette.. Wow, wonderful bun (rice vermicelli salad dish). Nice daylight for lunch; nice shadows in the evening. The cha gio (fried imperial rolls) are wonderful--hand made, chunky miracles.
The waiter (perhaps the owner referenced by others) seems to have a tender ego; he seemed to grow upset with me one evening because I asked (a second time, and halfway through the meal) for the Diet Coke I had ordered when I ordered the rest of my meal.
Realize that this waiter has a tender ego, and tread lightly. All will be well--and the fresh food is definitely worth some effort, if you're in Lake Oswego.
Great place, great service. My husband has been going to Lavang for years for lunch and we went tonight for dinner. Great food, the best egg rolls (yes, egg rolls) that I have had in YEARS. Not sure what went wrong for the previous poster, he and we have never had anything but great service.
It's the bomb!. I can't get enough of LaVang... My fave is their Chicken Vermicelli... after their lettuce wrap... Mmmmm!
The owner is very personal and makes us feel at home every time we come in...
I HIGHLY recommend LaVang!
Warning: if you say you want it HOT, prepare to drip in sweat. ;)
It is amazing.. Wonderful service,m wonderful food. The waiter/cook/owner/cashier is really nice. And Jen, he remembers you. Sorry to have to tell you this, but his hands were clean. They were the same hands he used to cook. The reason that he was a bit snappy with you is that he wasn't all that impressed with your reaction. Go figure. My advice is to go back, tell him that you would prefer if he didn't handle your food with his bare hands, and enjoy, because the food is amazing.
It might be tucked away on a quiet Lake Oswego side street, but if you are craving good Vietnamese food then La Vang Restaurant is definitely worth the trip. And don’t let the strip mall location fool you; the food is darn delicious! The menu offers somet
A great alternative to Ivy's Pho & Grill (which just closed-down). The Pho broth was yummy, and the meats were tender & delicious. Portions were very generous. I almost couldn't finnish my Super Bowl. The empty bowl says it all... I also had their grilled pork; which was tender & extremely delicious. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. I will definitely be a returning customer.
This is our family's favorite pho place. We go at least once a month. Thier Salt and Pepper squid is savory.sweet and spicy. My daughter is vegetarian and loves the vegetarian Pad Thai.
The best beef stew ever !! We come weekly and have never been disappointed... always the best.
Friendly staff, Delicious food, Clean environment. 10/10 would recommend!
Love this place, first went here shortly after they opened at their previous location to celebrate mother's day and have been coming back ever since.
Between generous portion sizes (especially the pho) with excellent taste and quality, a friendly staff that is always very knowledgeable about what is in the dishes, and open to answering your questions, and a open floorplan with good lighting. This restaurant is one of my all time favorites.
I just took my Dad here for father's day this year (2022) and we had a great time once again.
Excellent food, quick service, and reasonable prices. Best pho in town!
The owner is fantastic. The restaurant is clean and beautiful. I highly recommended this restaurant. Great location. The owner is really accommodating and friendly. I can't say enough about how wonderful he is. He stayed open late one evening just to make our order when he was about to close. Thank you!
This place has grown from two tabletops to a large spacious restaurant over the years, driven by great food, great prices, and a pleasant staff and atmosphere. The Pho is solid, and the large range of other dishes are uniformly well prepared from quality ingredients. The owner is always three and always working hard to provide a good experience for customers. Can recommend without reservations (especially since they reliably have a table free).
This is the best Pho restaurant anywhere in town. Great food and environment. The owner, Lucy, is super nice and friendly.
We like Pho Lavang because the soup broth is mild and beefy. Because of this, our kids love them. The also provide a generous portion of meats (a lot, seriously). We tried a good number of pho restaurant in Portland and surprisingly, this restaurant is one of the good one. I haven't tried other dishes. We have come here for the past 3 years. Food quality and quantity is consistent. Price is really reasonable considering the amount of protein.
Tried their pho and pad Thai for the first time. Absolutely delicious! Fair prices as well. The restaurant was clean, and the staffs were very mindful about wearing masks and keeping distances while handling food and take-out checkout. Will definitely come back for more
The Vietnamese Sandwich with grilled pork is the bomb! I went to this place for lunch two times back to back. The Pho with brisket is awesome as well. The decor is clean and the folks working inside are amazing. Friendly, clean and great food. Highly recommend it.
Great pho! I've been looking for a good pho place since I moved from southeast Portland to the white suburbs of tigard. This place is on par with some of the best, great broth and great proportions of meat and noodles. The service was great, the cook came out and talked to us and was friendly since we were the only people dining in(its the only way to enjoy pho).
