Le Viet
If you’re young and either
going out with your friends or trying to impress your significant other, Le
Viet is where it’s at! Le Viet showcases traditional Vietnamese food with a
modern twist through its sleek atmosphere and decor.
My sister, Catherine who is
27 and I came here right after a hard day at work. We’ve been looking forward
to this wonderful meal. Of course looking at the menu beforehand, we came
hungry and was excited to indulge in this experience!
We couldn’t believe there
were over 80 menu items to choose from! (84 to be exact)! After a tough
decision, we had our eyes set on a few key dishes and were super excited to try
them.
Of course we started with
some drinks, oh and an appetizer. ;-)
Catherine got red wine and I got a pineapple mojito. Ah, there go all the troubles from the
day. To pair off our drinks, we got the
‘Le Viet Sliders’ which include a steamed bun with carrots, scallion, cucumber
and hoisin sauce with beef. I did not know what to expect, but the combination
of these ingredients is perfection!
For dinner, I got the Xừơn Ram which is braised spare ribs with onions caramelized in
traditional sauce served with rice. Between the sweetness of the caramelized
onions and the juices from the meat, my mouth was watering!
My sister got the Tôm Thịt Kho Tàu which is shrimp and pork caramelized in a red
traditional sauce served with rice. She especially loved the sauce. She thought
it made the dish!
Catherine and I chose these
items because they are served in clay pots and this is what Le Viet is known
for! The presentation of the clay pot was very original removing the lid to see
the food steaming right in front of your eyes!
Other than presentation of
the food, was our waiter. He was very knowledgeable
and accommodating to our needs. He gave great suggestions and knew some much about
the menu. It just makes me feel more
comfortable making a menu selection at a new restaurant when the waiter knows
the menu really well and is excited about helping pick out something that I’ll
love.
Le Viet has won my sister
and I over and we will definitely be back again!
