My Mom is the ultimate Vietnamese food critic, nothing is as good as she can do it. She loved it so did I.

I have been trying to try Lua for awhile now. But learn from my mistakes and double check the open hours before planning a visit. BUT, the wait was well worth it. The food tastes amazing and was surprised by how well things were priced for the great quality.The fish sauce chicken wings were straight from flavortown and the pork banh mi was so well cooked. Definitely want to come back and try new dishes. Thanks for the great service!

Food is always delicious and good amount for the price. I’m Cantonese and love Cantonese-style barbecue and never expected to have such good BBQ pork and crispy roast pork from a Vietnamese place. Really enjoy their grilled shrimp and betel leaf beef too. We’re so lucky to have this place near us in North/NE Portland so we don’t have to schlep to 82nd Ave when a craving hits.Kid-friendliness: Spacious and lively place that is a welcoming place for families with kids. Check out the 3D printed Pokémon figurines by the register!

You get spam texts and emails once you order your food. You have to sign up for a square account to unsubscribe from emails. Text we received falsely claimed we didn’t pay. I used Apple Pay. Food was good, but I’m spending way too long to manage accounts just because the way they make you purchase food while in the restaurant.

No service and it seems like the menu is not clear at all. The pictures are not representative of the food. Like a totally different meal.

Tried the Bahn mi, soy lemongrass pork, and garlic noodles. All were fantastic. I didn't get to try my son's egg rolls because he ate them all and refused to share. He said they were really good. My nine year daughter said I have to give this place 1000 out of 1000.

Best restaurant ever. It is literally one of my favorite restaurants in Portland. I wish I could eat at this place everyday. Also the owner is so sweet!
I love Lua, their food is so yummy and so are their drinks. Definitely try the juices and the juice cocktails.It’s a cute spot to go in a casual date, ambiance is chill with fun music sometimes.(Tell me when to go- Keak da sneak)The service people are always kind and attentive.Go support this business!Vegetarian options: The woven rice tofu entree is my favorite

I’ve been coming to Lúa for a couple years now since they opened, and consistently, their food has been incredible! This place has unique street food offerings - I recommend their steamed buns and anything with their grilled pork patties! Most recently, they added soups to their menu, and I’m super excited to try them during the cold weather. They have excellent staff, too - shoutout to Raymond for always being responsive and friendly!
