I came here for their lunch service and had a good time! This cozy restaurant in Williamsburg offers some pretty authentic Viet dishes from noodles to rice to banh mi. They also have really good sparkling Viet drinks and viet coffee! Service here is nice.
We got their salad rolls, mi quang, and bo kho with their salted lemonade and coconut cream viet coffee. Everything was great. The mi quang was a huge portion with tons of pork, quail eggs, and shrimp. Meanwhile the bo kho had super tender beef and was very fragrant. Loved my Viet coffee and the salted lemonade was so refreshing. Great spot for some casual Vietnamese food in Brooklyn!
High Lúa is a cozy Vietnamese spot to enjoy in Willamsburg. The food is good but not amazing. The service is friendly and the space is small but well decorated. Something about their vegetable pho didn’t fully hit for me but I still enjoyed the experience and would come try it again. The space is fairly small so not a good fit for large groups.

I used to come here a lot more often as my hangover cure. This time was for dinner and it was unfortunately a little disappointing. I ordered the chicken pho and the portions were noticeably small compared to other viet spots in the city. The noodles were surprisingly al dente, which is not my preference. There is def a dearth of solid viet spots in Williamsburg, but would be nice for High Lua to change it up and fill the void.

Cute NYC-inspired ambiance makes this pho spot stand out. The service was friendly and attentive throughout my visit. The chicken pho could use more chicken, and the special beef pho was served a bit cold. Overall, the flavors were decent but not particularly memorable. Worth a visit for the vibe and good service, but pho lovers may want a bit more from the food.
