I hate to say it but I feel like Lam Hoa Thuan's quality has gone a bit downhill. My grandparents would used to take me here frequently when I was a kid and I remember the food being pretty good.

Some of the items we ordered were a bit disappointing. Aside from the Grilled Pork and Egg Roll Vermicelli being really good, the Pork Feet Special Rice Noodle was super bland. The pork feet had a very unpleasant smell. Had lot of hair left on the skin that wasn't plucked out. It looked like it was just boiled in hot water with no flavor. The Beef Noodle Soup was all msg. It didn't taste like your typical pho with the spices and deep flavors. Hard to explain, but I left the restaurant super thirsty from all the msg in the soup. We also ordered a duck and bbq pork to go which were both decent. Nothing negative to say about the service. Street parking available but might be a bit difficult during the weekend. Overall, I would come back but probably won't order the noodle soups.

The place is decent, not too shabby. The staff is alright, though not particularly friendly. I found the food to be lacking; I ordered the duck, and it was quite oily, cold, and salty. The egg noodles didn't compare to VH in Oakland, which I can understand given the lower prices. Overall, it was an acceptable meal, but I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon.
Cash only!

I have been coming here for ages, usually when I am in the area and in need of some chinese barbecue. Upon arrival, you can smell that char aroma from the counter and when the chefs are cutting up the goods. They are know for their roast duck, chicken, chau siu, roast pork and much more. They also offer dine in where the menu consists of Chinese and Vietnamese dishes. Everything is made to order which is always a plus for me and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. The staffs here are welcoming, well trained and understanding where I never encountered an issue at any of my visits. Lastly I would have to say this place has one of the best Hong Kong style barbecue in the area. I highly recommend this place to all Asian food enthusiasts, if you are in need of a quick bite or to anyone willing to try something new. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.

Best bun bo hue I've had. The roast duck was a little too fatty and salty for me, but the bun bo hue made up for it. The cold soy milk was so delicious! The bun bo hue was even more delicious.

The food is great; my family has been coming here for years and years. Our recommendations are the bbq pork over rice (tip: you can ask for a fattier or leaner cut when ordering depending on your preference) and the house special ho fun soup.

Both the Chinese and Vietnamese options are good and the prices are reasonable. There’s one staff member that is consistently pretty aggressive and rude, but in general they will help you.
