Alright foodie fam...yammerd my way up to LK's the other day for a late lunch n was pleasantly surprised ??....This a solid lil vietnamese eatery that turns a some comforting homestyle dishes. I honestly wasn't expecting much but most everything was good.My only knock was the dumplings I ordered first as they did appear to be made on premises they just felt sloppy and the plate itself didnt look appealing. At least it tasted good...The ginger chicken however was stellar fam.... this one had nice balance of flavors and the ginger taste was super addicting.Will definitely be returning to try more dishes ?

This place is a hidden gem!! The food quality is amazing and always fresh. The staff is very friendly and the space is very clean. It’s a cozy restaurant with a small seating area but there is a strong focus on food quality and authenticity. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be going again!Vegetarian options: Most things can be make vegetarian or vegan.

I love pho and was recommended this place to try.I got myself shrimp & pork spring roll ($6) and a bowl of pho special. ( $15 beef, tendon, tripe, meatballs)First off, the service was ok, the server was friendly and he offered to bring out their chili oil which was fire. The atmosphere of the place is pretty chill and cozy. And it wasn't loud so I liked that. + plenty parking spaces.The food... it's not horrible but it's not great either. To start with the spring rolls, the shrimp and pork were quite dry and flavorless. And the dipping sauce was just ready made hoisin sauce with crushed peanut pieces on top. Nothing special about it but it was below average to be honest. Thankfully it's $6 for two pieces - if it was a cent more, I'd have felt bad about ordering them.And then the special pho was a bit of disappointment. I love tendon, tripe and Vietnamese meatballs.. but honestly, rare beef wasn't quite rare and chewy, tendon and tripe were smelly and tripe could be cooked longer as it was a bit stiff and had a scent to it which tells me it wasn't prepared properly.Also towards the end, I found a piece of thick and dark hair stuck in one of the tendon piece in my soup.. I took it out and it looked like someone's eyelash. I didn't make a scene as I almost finished my meal by then. I paid tip and left quietly but I definitely will not go back.

For what I've ordered from here, it's just as good as Pho on the other side of town. Best menu item is the classic spring rolls with pork and shrimp and peanut sauce. And the beef pho is great. That's all I ever order.

I really want to give this place a better review, as a small local business, but the food is so inconsistent that it's time to speak up with the hopes it will improve.The pho broth is average to good -- but, the chicken (as opposed to grilled chicken) is almost always rubbery and overcooked. We now upgrade to the grilled chicken, which is better, but it seems a bit outrageous to have pay more to get edible chicken in chicken pho.We recently had a chicken and broccoli in brown sauce that was inedible. After several bites, both of us had the same reaction - there was TONS of salt - making it truly incapable of being eaten.Also annoyed that they charge 50 cents for extra lime (for the pho), and provide only 4 silly quarter-sized pieces for that price. I know inflation is real, but that just leaves a bad taste in a customer's mouth (pun intended).Service is nice enough, but somewhat impersonal and erratic.I look forward to being able to return and increase the star rating - please, Le's Kitchen, pay better attention to consistent quality and the customer experience.

Great Pho in the area! We ordered the grilled chicken Pho and Wonton Pho. Absolutely enjoyed my trip to this place.
Decided to give this place a try after reading the Reviews and I must say. It was worth it. I got the grilled Chix PHO and it was delicious. Very well balanced Broth ..Fresh Veggies and herbs . Very tasty ..I would definitely recommend. ? ?

It's a small restaurant in an exceedingly tight lot and we'd tried unsuccessfully to go several times before. It's popular and always seems crowded. Happily, we lucked out and were able to reserve for our group on a recent visit. The food we tried was of mixed quality. Pho broth was quite lovely, a light, northern style, which came with the standard garnishes (bean sprouts, lime, basil, jalapeno). Beef (eye of round, I presume) was sliced a little too thickly, but fresh. A shrimp and pork summer roll ("fresh spring roll") was well made with pliant rice paper and a reasonable protein to vegetable / starch ratio, but I was not a huge fan of the very hoisin-heavy dipping sauce, which overwhelmed all other flavors. There wasn't much peanut flavor. In IMHO, nước chấm would've been a much better partner for this intrinsically delicate roll. Bo luc lac / shaking beef was made with good quality meat, but was overwhelmingly salty. The meat was cut a touch large and unwieldy and was not as melt-in-your-mouth tender as some of our favorite versions. Bubble teas weren't the best. They were very clearly from powdered mixes. Tapioca pearls were a mixture of soft and bouncy and unpleasantly hard. The two servers on duty were pleasant enough, but were clearly overwhelmed and unable to be present. We experienced some major delays, little check-in. Maybe a systemic issue the restaurant could address by hiring more staff. Overall, this was a good enough meal that we'd like to come by to try more -- especially more of the pho, which seem to be a strong point.
Poor value
We live a half mile from Le’s and ordered $60 of food for pickup. All dishes were mostly just cheap noodles with almost no chicken, tofu, or vegetables. Tofu wasn’t any good. Half of the type vegetables that were suppose to be in dishes were missing and very few vegetables in dishes at all. Even carrots were missing. What we got looked nothing like the pictures of the dishes online. Very foolish owners to give us such cheaply prepared dishes, we will never go back.
