I don't like to write bad reviews but this warrants one.
First off, this place will not survive unless they change one of two things:
1. The menu
2. The name of the business
I'm not sure what they are trying to achieve here. Are they trying to capitalize on the wave of boiled seafood in a bag like the ones in southern California (The Boiling Crab franchise)? Or they are trying to go for the Louisiana crawfish boil? Either one, it's a big FAIL. I grew in Southern California and went to college in New Orleans. I know what they should taste like.
When they are playing on words with "LA Boiled Crawfish", it is expected to have crawfish all day long. Not after 3pm. And what does LA stand for? Los Angeles? Or Louisiana?
Lastly, this is a Vietnamese restaurant. It doesn't matter who the owner is, or who the cooks are. But the food that you serve needs to reflect that of your store name. Imagine going to a restaurant called NY Pizza but you can't order any Pizza's till after 3pm, there's only 2 types of pizzas served. But meanwhile, you can have mexican food. Does that even make any sense? No.
Establishment is clean, new decor. Staff is friendly but I don't know how good the service is because I didn't dine in. I ordered a sandwich and took it to go.
I'd much rather this place was upfront and honest and named it LA Pho. Because after crawfish season is over, it's just another Vietnamese restaurant who will have a bad ratings because diners were expecting one thing and got something else.
