Lucky Quán

Located opposite NSK Kuchai Lama, this corner shop makes for yummy family dinners over Vietnamese classics and more. Come as a big group and tuck into mouth-watering dishes like the BBQ Pork Ribs (RM15), Lemongrass Squid (RM13) and Claypot Ca Loc (fish, RM16), best had with a bowl of White Rice (RM2). Try their signature sides as well, like the Banh Xeo (RM15), a crispy and savoury egg pancake stuffed with meat and crunchy beansprouts. For a solo lunch, look to the Pho (RM14.80) filled with thin slices of beef or the Vietnamese Pork Chop & Spring Roll Noodle (RM12.80) that will make you happy you're not sharing.

A refreshing snack to start your meal with. Fresh prawns, sliced meat, and various greens all wrapped in thin rice paper.

No kidding, I gasped out loud when this huge platter arrived on my table. I was even more surprised when I got to taste the delightfully crispy and savoury pancake! I will definitely order this again.

Nothing will ever go wrong when you get to indulge in a warm bowl of Pho. The broth was fantastic as the light flavours go well with the rice noodles and assorted vegetables. Slurped up all the noodles and finished the entire bowl of broth bc it was that delish!!

One of the rare Vietnamese restos in KL to serve hot pot, Lucky Quan is also popular for their stellar take on classics like the Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup (RM14.80) and the Pork and Ham Banh Mi (RM10). There’s also a barbecue grill set up outside the restaurant, so fill the table (and your tummy) with mouthwatering grilled meats like BBQ Big Squid (RM20) and BBQ Pork (two sticks, RM10).

Sweet and light broth make up this great bowl of pho. No cilantro in sight (thank goodness) but instead lots of fresh bean sprouts and Thai basil instead. The beef balls were nice and bouncy, and what I loved most was that the soup stayed hot till the very end.
