Le Viêt Thai serves good, reasonably-priced food but this is best enjoyed as takeout because the space is cramped, with seating right next to their boxed supplies and space heaters. But if you can get past that, I recommend the crispy pork belly with Chinese broccoli ($16 plus tax) and the Tom Yum soup, both with good heat, textural contrast and depth of flavor. - Augusto Paulino

What is Worth Choosing at Le Viêt Thai

While the entire menu is a treat, there are a few dishes at Le Viêt Thai that are particularly worth highlighting. The Pho Beef Noodle Soup is a top choice, featuring a rich, aromatic broth, tender sliced beef, and fresh herbs, providing a truly comforting and authentic Vietnamese experience. The Banh Mi BBQ Pork is another standout, a perfect blend of savory marinated pork, pickled vegetables, and fresh cilantro, all served on a crisp French baguette.

For those who prefer Thai flavors, the Red Curry is highly recommended. You can choose your protein to go with this rich and flavorful curry, which balances the spiciness of the red chili with the creaminess of coconut milk. The Drunken Noodles are also a popular choice, a spicy and savory dish with wide rice noodles, basil, and chili.

Among the appetizers, the Vietnamese Spring Rolls are a must-try. These crispy, savory rolls filled with pork and shrimp are a perfect way to start your meal. And for a unique and delicious option from the Specialties section, the Crispy Pork With Chinese Broccoli is a fan favorite, offering a delightful contrast between the perfectly crispy pork and the tender greens. For drinks, don't miss the Thai Iced Tea; it's the perfect sweet and creamy beverage to complement any spicy dish.
