    Wonderful meal and cocktails. The shaking beef and dry duck noodles were outstanding. I would order those again in a heartbeat. The spicy mezcal margaritas were also fantastic. Can’t wait to come back and try more things on the menu.

    This was our third time dining at La Dong, and it was just as amazing as ever! My family and I absolutely love this place—the food is consistently delicious and the service is always warm and welcoming. We celebrated my friend’s birthday here, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating to our special requests, which made the evening feel extra special. The beef short rib curry, crab fried rice, and sea bass were all outstanding. Highly recommend for anyone looking for flavorful dishes and a genuinely hospitable dining experience!

    Authentic Vietnamese food in NYC, and many varieties to choose from and relatively not found in most Vietnam restaurants in US. Worth to good, great to go with friends and allow to try more food.
