Reviews of Lua Viet

Visiting from SoCal, and after several days of wine-tasting and heavier foods (plenty of fru-fru foods as well), my wife and I just wanted something lighter, more wholesome and fresh. We were absolutely and completely satisfied & fulfilled here: We shared an appetizer of fresh spring rolls (chicken & veggie), and we both had the Veggie Dumpling Soup as our main dish. Loved the roasted garlic slices on top! Plenty of mint leaves, fresh bean sprouts and sliced jalapenos on the side. Service was quick, attentive and friendly. Background music was tasteful, relaxing and unassuming. 6:30pm on a Saturday eve, moderately busy. $44 total before tax and tip. Not bad at all !

The staff are super friendly, the food is DELICIOUS, the atmosphere is cool and cozy with easy listening for music. The pricing is absolutely fair and acceptable (yes, the price of things rises over time - what a concept). Don't listen to the haters! Coming back for more soon. (: Also, get the coffee - it's seriously so good! 🥹

This is my favorite place to eat in Sebastopol. The food is amazing, fresh and really good flavoring. Coming from living in Berkeley it’s my go to. Good variety for meat eaters and vegetarians. The staff is super friendly and have had exceptional service both with take out and eating indoors/outdoors. My only feedback as a scent sensitive person is that they use some pretty strong cleaners inside and in the bathrooms so if you are sensitive eat outside or do take out. The food and service are soooo worth it!

So so but the Vietnamese coffee was terrific. I had the bon bowl. No basil or cilantro. Maybe it wasn’t available? I was taught how to make Vietnamese egg rolls with rice wrappers not pasta wrappers. Mine came with pasta wrappers my sons came with rice wrappers. Maybe they ran out? I don’t like pasta wrappers. Much tastier in the city on Irvine st right off 19th by Golden Gate park

My favorite restaurant in all of Sebastopol! Lilly and her crew are so friendly and kind, the food comes out hot & fresh everytime. Get the spring rolls (bbq pork & spring), crispy egg rolls, kimchi lettuce wrap and edamame to start. Try their kimchi as an additional side, it's so good! Then try their beef pho, it's so amazing and the meats are always top quality. My husband loves their vermicelli bowl with bbq pork, bbq chicken and the beef onion wrap. Everything we've ever had there is delicious, I highly suggest this restaurant for an amazing lunch or dinner! You won't be disappointed! Try their Thai iced tea or mango juice, it's a perfect addition to the meal!

I love this place and I am so grateful they’re in Sebastopol. The food here is consistently delicious and the ingredients are always high quality. The veggie pho is my absolute favorite as well as the tofu vermicelli bowl. The Vietnamese coffee is the best if you need some legit caffeine as well. The owners and staff are always kind. My husband and I come here at least once a week. I’m glad they’re still making food for pick up during these crazy times.

The service is fast and courteous. The menu offers a wide range of traditional choices. From Pho to rice and noodles plates, it's always fresh and tasty. I always get the friedgyoza with a citrus mayo. It's a great way to kick off the experience. My other favorite is the shaking beef with extra filet mignon. It's a simple dish of stir fried vegetable with tender chunks of filet mignon in a light sauce. I add some rice and chili sauce for a great meal. It's a little pricey but after all it is filet mignon not wrapped in bacon. The decor is a twist of modern with some minimalism sprinkled through out. Reds and yellows predominate with a large black and white painting on one wall with another large piece made of colored layerd grains behind glass on another.. I highly recommend if you like vietnamese food.
