La Vie Vietnamese Restaurant

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.

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.
