| - This place reminds me a lot of another Vietnamese restaurant downtown that frequently dominates in the top 3 Vietnamese restaurants in the city on blogger lists.
The pho broth has a pretty good depth of flavour in spite of its relatively transparent colour - a sign, I've been told, is indicative of an authentically delicious pho. The small phos, I've found, are a bit scarce on their beef and meats, so if you care about this stuff make sure you order a Large size.
Not sure why, but this place (like most other Vietnamese restaurants) only offer a Small, Large, or Extra Large bowl of pho.
We also ordered the Thai chicken wings, which are the regular fried chicken wings with some pan-fried bell peppers, chillies, and pepper-salt. The waitstaff had recommended this over the regular ones, and she was right - I was glad we had these too.
Drinks are actually not bad here too, and the shakes are purportedly made with real fruit rather than powder. I got the avocado shake last time, and I would be willing to order it again. The salted lime soda is strangely the same price as the shakes ($3.50) which I found a bit high, but ehh, you can visit Lac Vien without breaking the bank anyway.
