Oc & Lau 2 Restaurant/Bar

The food here is consistently fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. Seafood: From the raw grill to tamarind, garlic, and salted egg sauces… everything pairs perfectly with the seafood. The seafood with huge size, clean, and there’s absolutely no fishy smell, which speaks volumes about the quality. I wish I remembered the names of the dishes we ordered, but trust me everything hits the spot! Hot Pot: We also had the Chilean Sea Bass hot pot. The fish was incredibly fresh. It shrinks a bit while cooking but stays juicy and tender. The broth is the real rich and flavorful, with fresh vegetables that round out the dish beautifully. Drinks: Highly recommend the Fresh Coconut and Kumquat Juice. Refreshing and the perfect match for the savory food. Quick tip: Get in line online via Yelp before you go. But don’t forget to check in with the receptionist when you arrive, or your turn might be skipped even if you’re physically there. The wait to get inside can be a little long, but once you’re seated, the food comes out pretty fast. Only downside? That long wait line makes me hesitate to come back too often, but honestly, the food is so good that it’s still worth it. Highly recommend!

This is the 2nd location of this restaurant. This one has a lot more seats than the original. The food is decent and they came out very quickly. As their name suggests, they are specialized in snails and hotpot. There are 2 parking areas, one in the front and one in the back. This is a family friendly and handicap friendly facility.

Foods is always good here. However, we were very disappointed that they no longer have banana blossom salad. Which we purposely came back for and we traveled from NYC. Dessert were given to us for free after our meal that was very good. Service and vibe are great and we will come back again. We had shaken beef with noodles, grilled scallops, mangoes salad, garlic snails, crabs fried rice. Foods are delicious.

One of my all-time favorite seafood restaurants! Even during my trip to Vietnam, I didn’t come across anything quite like this. The ingredients are always fresh, and the flavors are unforgettable. Sharing some photos below of my favorite dishes—each one a must-try!

I have been to this restaurant 5-6 times, and the food here is always good for me. The staff is very enthusiastic and friendly, the food is also prepared very quickly. Everything here is good, just sometimes too crowded but I will still come if I have the chance.
