Editorial Review for Le Cheval – by Alex Leviton
In Short
A raucous dining room holds dozens of tables, many with chatting groups sharing plates of spring rolls, beef or seafood courses, noodles and vegetables or piquant firepot soups. The multipage French-colonial-inspired menu guarantees everyone--adults and children alike--will find something to like. Diners choose from Vietnamese standbys such as lemon-grass chicken, cubed beef steak or the adventurous salty prawns, a favorite of many regulars. Vegetarians have a choice of more than a dozen tofu and vegetable dishes.

This restaurant and their cuisine is the best I have found for the quality and price. I love the ginger crab when it's available and the calamari salad is excellent! I have tried clay pots at other restaurants and Le Cheval's is by far the winner! The food always comes out very quickly which is great for me as I have children who also love the food! Another treat for me and my kids is the impressive flaming bananas dessert with their yummy vanilla bean ice cream..always a crowd pleaser! The parking is usually very easy and within close walking distance. This restaurant should be a regular for those of us who enjoy different and delicious food!

Have been coming here for 15 years now, and the food has been consistently great. We always get the cube beef steak, which is tender and just on the medium side always. Other dishes I love are Singapore noodles (w/ chicken), claypot prawns, and the mussels. Drinks are funny: the Thai iced tea is kinda an alarming orange color, but good, and so's the Vietnamese coffee. Skip that soursop drink - nothing soursop in it. Could just stick with the pitcher of water they leave at your table, which is really cool. It's definitely the place to drop by for a bite if you don't feel like cooking. Casual place, good prices. Service is always punctual, food, bill, etc comes promptly, but the friendliness factor is sometimes low depending on the waitress. We've had both very friendly and brusque servers, but none rude.
