La V - Vietnamese Fusion

"We stopped in to La V one night while visiting St. Petersburg, and it was a great meal! We live in a place that has a lot of mom and pop authentic Vietnamese restaurants, and the food at La V was on par with all of them. I had the Bun Bo Hue and it was as good as the versions I get at home, and my partner had a Banh Xeo (vegetarian crispy crepe) that was also formidable. The atmosphere and service here are both upbeat and modern. I saw a couple reviews mention concerns with the price, but for what you get in both the location and atmosphere, the price is right on point. I'm a big fan of La V and will definitely come back next time I'm in the area!"

"The Pho broth was the best I've ever had. The sauces made in house were to die for. They even had a Boba Thai tea with Bailey's in it! We ate at the bar and the service was responsive and timely, but not necessarily engaging or friendly. My only suggestion for this spot is to update the atmosphere. It has the potential to be amazing especially with the food and drinks they offer."

"I had an incredible experience when I visited. The food, while pricy, was impeccable, and the service was amazing. The boba was phenomenal and truly one of a kind. Our server was Rachel and she was ON IT. She constantly checked up on us and ensured that our needs were met. Another thing I would like to add was the other two servers, Ben and Tyler. Ben was hilarious and made my day, while Tyler was keeping business smooth and quick with the huge rush. I would absolutely come back here again, especially if Rachel is serving and Ben and Tyler are working."

"The food was by no means bad, but the price per portion size seemed not to par. Service was good and our server was kind, but I wasn’t super impressed with my meal. The spot seemed to look boujee and fancy, and in turn you don’t get as much food for what you pay. Cool place, but I don’t see myself returning anytime soon."

"After checking the reviews, we thought it would be a great experience while we were in town, BUT it was terrible. The service was nice. The food was MEH, bland and oily. It took 30min for our appetizer, spring roll to be served. Another 15min for the main dishes. I had the Vermicelli with Lemongrass Beef, it was tasteless and nothing but oil that you could clearly see it on the beef. My boyfriend had Beef Stew, and it was bland also. We left right after the first bite and went to other restaurant down the street instead. It was an expensive experience."
