LUK LAK

First meal for 2025 here. The catfish salad was divine. Also tasted eggnog coffee for the first time, very creamy, albeit cold. Garden-like interiors with lush plants was a nice touch. Staff knew how to speak English and very attentive. Five stars

Was not a warm reception upon arrival. The workers didn’t appear to want to be working and left a very bad taste in my mouth before the food even arrived. From the time we sat down we felt like a burden and unwelcome. This is definitely not deserving of Michelin selection and is a poor representation of the Vietnamese culture. The food was decent but not earth shattering or amazing. In my opinion the small local places I’ve been to are far more deserving of Michelin status than LukLak and I regret my decision to dine here. TL;DR don’t go here, ask the locals where they eat and go there.

decent addition to 2024s Michelin Guide everything we ate was delicious. id definitely recommend the Pork Cheeks, and the Fish! cooked perfectly - succulent and tender! melt in mouth good! its a decently sized place with seating downstairs and upstairs. but i recommend calling ahead to book! this place gets busy pretty quick!!

Food is okay. Not that good. Beef salad is excellent Shrimp roll is so so Eggplant is good Cheek pork is good Duck is not recommend Soup with vegetable and crap is good Services is good. We got a seat on 1st floor with wooden chair, not a sofa, if we got the better seat, the atmostphere would be a lot better.

Highly recommend! The menu is very extensive and everything looks wonderful. The restaurant is located near the water close to Novotel. The guard helped us cross the road as cars can only park across the restaurant. We ordered the spring roll platter, congee, breakfast noodles, and sour pork soup, everything was exceptional. The interior was beautifully designed. Staff were friendly and assisted us with keeping our groceries in the fridge, helping us set up the baby chair, bringing us hot water, etc. wish their dessert selection was more extensive but if you order enough main dishes you’ll walk away happy and full.

Incredible old and cozy place with a lovely atmosphere. Service are excellent and the food is fine!. The Pho 🍜 we tried was ok, so I’m a little disappointed at myself that I didn’t try something else but the beef salad, which was good. Price is reasonable, so try it out!

After trying the Luk Lak in Hanoi we decided to also try the one in Da Nang. The service and food in Da Nang is also exceptionally good. We like the restaurant in Da Nang more as it is more spacious and had an outdoor seating. Again the prices are a bit higher than other places, but the quality justifies it in my opinion. The dessert grilled sticky rice banana was a bit lacking, but thats all for the negatives, everything else was good.

Came here multiple times and I'm never disappointed. The food is refined and the quality is sublime. I particularly like the pork belly, spring roll and the eggplant. Service was excellent as usual.
