" From the moment we arrived at Mi La-Cai, we were greeted by the friendly staff that made us feel at home. The food, especially their bun bo hue, was just right—spicy and flavorful. We also indulged in their crispy noodles topped with tender beef, which we couldn't get enough of. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, enhancing our dining experience. I highly recommend this spot to anyone craving authentic Vietnamese food. I will surely come back with friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Mi La-Cai and found the ambiance to be quite nice. I tried their crab rangoon and was impressed by how crispy they were! Unfortunately, while other dishes were fulfilling, the overall experience felt a bit flat compared to the hype. The service was decent but not very forthcoming. I appreciate the effort in this establishment but left feeling a bit underwhelmed. I would suggest they keep working on improving their service quality as the food did show promise. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally got to try this restaurant after hearing so much about it, and it did not disappoint! The service was quick, and the staff were friendly. I had the beef brisket Pho, and it was tasty and hearty. The portions were generous for the price, and I particularly enjoyed the fresh herbs that were served alongside. The only downside was the noise level; it was quite bustling and made conversation a bit challenging. Regardless, the food quality shines through, and I would return in a heartbeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I had our first dining experience at Mi La-Cai and we loved it! We were seated within 10 minutes, and our order was taken quickly. The fried rice was delightful and the portion size was generous. I was particularly impressed with their pho, which had an aromatic broth that we kept slurping until the last drop. The setting is casual and feels welcoming. I appreciated the cleanliness of the place, which is sometimes hard to find in busy restaurants. Highly recommend this spot for tasty, authentic Vietnamese meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Being a fan of Asian cuisine, I've visited many places, but Mi La-Cai stands out for its authentic flavors. The price is reasonable, and you get what you pay for in terms of quality. I enjoyed the pho and their egg rolls very much, excellent with a crisp exterior. My only complaint is that the wait can be a bit lengthy during peak hours, but once you taste the food, you realize it's worth it. I'll be sure to return for more savory dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food may be great, but my experience was less than stellar due to the long wait times. I came in with high expectations based on recommendations and the food did get a thumbs up. My crispy noodles were good, but the service didn’t match the quality of food. The ambiance is nice for a casual dinner, but I felt rushed since we were seated close to closing time and I would have appreciated more attention. I'll give it another shot but only on a less busy night. Expect amazing food but be prepared to wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a good experience overall, but there were a few culinary hits and misses. While the pho was excellent, I found the sushi to fall short on freshness. The ambiance was lovely, perfect for a casual night out. The service was decent but not as attentive as I would have liked. Although I enjoyed my main dish, I wouldn’t consider it the absolute best in Utah like others have claimed. Still worth checking out, and I’d return just for the pho. " (*Curated Review*)
