Lavui Vietnamese - Dallas/Ft Worth AP

Driving by after having picked up a rental and stopped in for lunch. The food was tasty and I'd go back. I had the garlic noodles with shrimp. The only issue I had was the shrimp were a little overcooked. I'd rather they were overcooked than undercooked though. The staff were friendly, but quite busy.

Food was excellent. The Banh Mi was top notch.They do get busy for a small place, so wait time was service time was a little slow for dinner hours.I’ll be back again.

Had dinner here tonight and everything that I ordered was delicious! I ordered the Roasted Duck Banh Mi, Shrimp and Pork dumplings, and Passionfruit Green Tea with Boba. The Duck Banh Mi was fantastic..generous slices of roasted duck with Vietnamese pickles, cilantro on a toasted baguette. The dumplings were made in-house and were elegantly plated and served with a sweet soy sauce. The servers were very friendly and attentive to me and every customer that came in. The place had a nice upbeat vibe and the food was also served quite quickly! Thus certainly is a nice gem in the Medical District area.

The waitress circled 30% tip after no refills, not bringing silverware, and dropping off the check after we ordered our first round of food because even though they advertise as closing at 11, light was off before it was even 10 and people were turned away at the door from that point onward. Wed have ordered all our food at once if shed only mentioned that 30 minutes before. And yes it took 30 minutes to get 1 round of food despite being one of 3 tables there, 1 of which was paying out. The manager was refunding something at that table so no doubt their visit was just as bad. The food was pretty, but small portions and lacked flavor. Maybe the cooks were just as done with the shift as our waitress. Had to find her to even pay out. What a shame, have been here before for a plate and it was way different but that was over a year ago so maybe they've just lost their good workers. Won't be back, there's better places out there, Save yourself the trouble and look for somewhere else.

We tried their Smoked Beef Brisket Bahn Mi and their Roasted Duck Bahn Mi. The fillings and meats were marinated wonderfully and tasted lovely. The Bahn Mi bread was toasted a little more than my personal preference would have liked, but the sandwich was still delightful. The other classics (spring roll and pho) were also fantastic. It’s a small, busy restaurant with lovely people who still ensured fast and friendly service!
