High Lúa Brooklyn Reviews
I came here for their lunch service and had a good time! This cozy restaurant in Williamsburg offers some pretty authentic Viet dishes from noodles to rice to banh mi. They also have really good sparkling Viet drinks and viet coffee! Service here is nice. We got their salad rolls, mi quang, and bo kho with their salted lemonade and coconut cream viet coffee. Everything was great. The mi quang was a huge portion with tons of pork, quail eggs, and shrimp. Meanwhile the bo kho had super tender beef and was very fragrant. Loved my Viet coffee and the salted lemonade was so refreshing. Great spot for some casual Vietnamese food in Brooklyn!
This is one of my favorite restaurants in the whole city. The vibes are perfect and not too loud but always pleasant. The food is the best Vietnamese food in Brooklyn and is so reasonably priced and affordable. The waiters are friendly and helpful. There is a sign on the wall that says "High Lua The Best Restaurant" and every time I come here I agree. I've been a customer for 4 years and I hope it never leaves!
My new go-to pho place! Really good! The only place as good if not better than Sao Mei. Noodles thicker than I'm used to but the broth is divine. Love that the spring rolls come with lettuce without asking. Iced coffee was on point too. Can't believe I haven't tried this place sooner.
I recently had the chance to visit a Vietnamese restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and the experience was truly delicious. The food was excellent, with well-balanced flavors and very satisfying dishes. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. It’s worth noting that the restaurant caters more to an American audience. So, while it’s tasty, it might not be the most authentic Vietnamese experience. For something more traditional, I have another spot in Queens, Pho Bang at 82-90 Broadway Elmhurst, NY 11373 Overall, the experience was very positive, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a flavorful meal in a nice setting.
Great staff, even better food and a cute space that felt authentic and modern. Most people are used to Southern Vietnamese food so it was a surprise when it turned out to be Northern! The pho broth was excellent and homemade, not the cubed broth flavoring a lot of other restaurants use. The appetizer portions were quite large for lunch and our group realized halfway through that we might have ordered too much! I would definitely return.
Got a table outside and enjoyed the food so much! High quality meat was used and very good portions for the price. Especially loved the very kind and attentive service despite having one of few outdoor tables. Will be coming back! Jumped on the food as soon as it came but got shrimp summer rolls, vermicelli lemongrass chicken bowl and beef pho :)
High Lúa is a cozy Vietnamese spot to enjoy in Willamsburg. The food is good but not amazing. The service is friendly and the space is small but well decorated. Something about their vegetable pho didn’t fully hit for me but I still enjoyed the experience and would come try it again. The space is fairly small so not a good fit for large groups.
Cute NYC-inspired ambiance makes this pho spot stand out. The service was friendly and attentive throughout my visit. The chicken pho could use more chicken, and the special beef pho was served a bit cold. Overall, the flavors were decent but not particularly memorable. Worth a visit for the vibe and good service, but pho lovers may want a bit more from the food.
I used to come here a lot more often as my hangover cure. This time was for dinner and it was unfortunately a little disappointing. I ordered the chicken pho and the portions were noticeably small compared to other viet spots in the city. The noodles were surprisingly al dente, which is not my preference. There is def a dearth of solid viet spots in Williamsburg, but would be nice for High Lua to change it up and fill the void.
I like to give another place a chance but some time the food I get is less than my expectations. I was in a mood for Nem nướng but seems like only authentic Vietnamese restaurant has this menu. Other than that, even some place claim to have Nem nuong but doesn't look like or close. So, with no choice and willing to make a bet, I order out from this place and try to pick something that close to that dish. - Beef Pho: is just ok, too much noodles and less vegetables that is suppose to have. Broth is good. - Fried Spring Rolls: kind of oily - Banh Mi Pate: doesn't taste good and dry - Sausage rolls: So so and I'm not crazy about the vegetable they put at all. - Caramelized spareribs: the ribs are dry and sauce isn't good. with the price and taste of food I don't think is worth of money. It is just my opinion, maybe non-Asian will like it so if I want to eat real Vietnamese, I still have to go to Queens.
The pho here is extremely overpriced for what you get. The portions were shockingly small, leaving us still hungry after the meal. On top of that, the service was slow and unfriendly. What made the experience even worse was the lack of cleanliness. We actually saw roaches crawling on the table, which is completely unacceptable. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Sadly updating my review after coming here once a week for many months. A cockroach appeared on the counter next to my table, thankfully I finished eating and told the staff but they were totally unbothered and unapologetic. They didn't even kill it. Delicious vegetarian pho been coming here for a few years my fav in the area
