At Mi La Cay, the menu is a delightful journey through the vibrant and diverse flavors of Vietnamese cuisine. From the very first bite, their appetizers set the tone for the meal with a variety of options. The Spring Rolls (Chả Giò) are crispy and golden, filled with savory ingredients that offer the perfect balance of textures. If you're looking for something fresher, the Summer Rolls (Gỏi Cuốn) and Vegetarian Summer Rolls are packed with fresh herbs, vermicelli noodles, and your choice of protein, wrapped delicately in rice paper. For those seeking something more adventurous, the Beef Wrapped in Grape Leaves (Bò Nướng Lá Nho) brings a unique twist, while the Roasted Quail (Chim Cút) offers a tender, smoky flavor.
The noodle soups at Mi La Cay are a true highlight. Whether you're in the mood for the spicy and tangy La Cay Egg/Rice Noodle Soup or the hearty Phnom Penh Noodle Soup (Mì Hủ Tiếu Nam Vang), there's a combination to suit every taste. The Crispy Maryland Chicken Egg/Rice Noodle Soup is a standout, featuring crispy chicken paired with delicate noodles and a flavorful broth. For something a bit more exotic, the Roasted Quail with Noodle Soup combines tender quail with the comforting richness of a well-seasoned broth.
Vermicelli dishes (Bún) are another must-try, with the Lemongrass Beef Noodle Soup (Bún Bò Huế) offering a fragrant, spicy kick. Alternatively, the Vermicelli Noodles with Grilled Pork or Grilled Lemon Chicken are both perfectly charred and packed with flavors that will leave you craving more. For a crispy touch, the Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese pancake) offers a satisfying crunch with a savory filling.
For those who prefer grilled dishes, the Grilled Lemongrass Chicken and Grilled Shrimp served over rice are simple, yet flavorful choices. And don't forget about the Stir Fried Noodles—whether crispy or soft, these dishes, including the Pad Thai Noodles, bring a satisfying mix of savory and tangy flavors that are hard to resist.
Finish off your meal with a refreshing beverage like Young Coconut Juice or a classic Jasmine Iced Tea, and you've experienced a perfect Vietnamese feast at Mi La Cay.
