Looks like they shut down?? Phone number isn’t working and the place looks deserted.

One of the top 3 crab restaurant in San Francisco. Not only roasted crabs, but their Vietnamese appetizers are pretty good - don’t forget Flaming Beef which is not only tasty but very entertaining. Owner family is all fun people.

You know this place doesn't advertise its pho loud and out front but there is something going on with the broth and you'll likely get most of the venue to yourself on weekdays

The service was warm and very prompt. Ordering for 2 we started with the flaming beef and shrimp dish. The pot cooks at your table was served with wraps, lettuce, mint, etc all extremely fresh. The flavors were heaven and the presentation was a lot of fun. Great starter! Their roast crab came next. They have a signature way of doing it. Wow. I am a big fan of PPQ crab but La Vie exceeded it. Amazing crab. Served with wonderful garlic noodles. Most menu items are inexpensive. We chose two of the high end ones. Next time we are bringing more people, ordering 1 crab and additional plates which should be a fantastic dinner experience and affordable per person too.

This one of those local “hidden gems” type of restaurants… Asian, Vietnamese food with unique chief twist and nice selection of fusion type of Asian-inspired dishes. Tried most of the menu and cannot clearly pick any clear winners – everything tasting pretty awesome!!!

Decent food, but overpriced crab at ~$70

Soft fried noodles with chicken was great! The broccoli in it was especially good.

Cozy little Vietnamese restaurant. The flaming beef and shrimp with rice paper wrapper is an experience everyone should try.

We are regulars at La Vie and love it. As a family of 4, with different tastes, everyone enjoys the food at La Vie. It is for "special" nights when we feel like being casual. The price is great for the quality of food. Friends are always impressed. We brought friends from Sri Lanka and they thought it was the best crab they ever had. Burning beef and garlic noodles are also excellent and unique. You are in great hands with Sylvia and Hanson who are always there to make your night special.

Start with flaming beef and shrimps -
Flamed cooked and wrap in lettuce and herbs,and thin clear crepe to make a pocket,
Dip In sauce. Heaven!
Shrimp salad - fresh and light lemony dressing
La Vie Crab and garlic noodle, I request no raw garlic, but fried garlic for noodle)
The La Vie green Beans ( also ask for fry garlic, no rare garlic)
If there's room left, the 5-Spice chicken
Must have the dessert Penna cotta
Sylvia is the manager and sweet maker, also the sommelier and waitperson, her mom Daisy the chef. So I am patient for their creative talent with the French influenced Vietnamese dishes.
I have never order curry dishes at any Vietnamese Restaurant. When in doubt, look at House Specialty, or ask Sylvie to recommend, who takes pride in her profession.
Sylvie was trained by working with her mom and the old Vietnam chef from Hanoi., after he passed, mom took over cooking as no cooks she hired can live up to Daisy' standard.
Sylvie went to the CIC for sweet and sommelier.
My Favorite Vietnamese Restaurant.
