| - I have been to Lac Vien a couple times as a change of pace to my usual Viet place. My family and I have tried a variety of options such as pho, bün (vermicelli noodles), soft noodles with beef, salad rolls, seafood birds nest and fried rice.
While most of the items are pretty good and quite fresh, the restaurant has a habit of making incorrect orders. Three times I have ordered pork bün and been given beef bün. Also, I am not a big fan of their peanut sauce which tastes more like peanut butter than actual satay sauce. The "satay" sauce is also so thick it is difficult to dip my salad roll into it without half the ingredients falling into the sauce. (I double dip, *don't judge!*) Literally, I have put my roll into the sauce only for it to break in half and only be left with the stub. :(
Lastly, if you are looking for a true seafood birds nest, this one does not deliver on the seafood part which is barely there. The picture is really deceiving.
So while the food is okaaay.... and there are some good items like the fried rice, there really there are better places in the area. I don't think I will be going back a fourth time. I gave Lac Vien a fair chance already.
