A coworker of mine, unnamed to protect her identity, decided as part of some diversity and inclusion project to ask me to lunch. I said, “Listen Sarah Tanner from Fircrest, don’t be taking me to no Panda Express. I want that real Asian, you know, A Z N.” My coworker took me to this random spot and ordered for me by pointing at things on the menu cause, let’s be real, stupid Sarah Tanner from Fircrest can’t pronounce anything on the menu. She even assumed my order, which I thought was out of line, but since she be paying, whatever. I’d complain to HR after lunch anyway.

Came Sunday morning and felt like I was back in Vietnam: boisterous men sitting around drinking coffee, tea, smoking and picking their teeth.

This is a little gem in the Lincoln International District. I come here often because they make the best Vietnamese sandwiches I’ve ever had!! Here, they toast their bread, and ingredients are always fresh. Their other dishes are also delicious . When dining in, tea is complementary with your meal.

I was looking for a good banh mi spot in Tacoma and came across Cafe La Vie. As I entered, there was a lady that was busy prepping something in the front, but I was greeted by an elderly man who took my order. I ordered the BBQ pork banh mi and the pork meatball soup. I stood and waited about 7 minutes since there were no chairs around, but the man went up to me and offered a chair for me to sit which was nice of him. I received my order soon after and went home ready to eat my soup and banh mi.

I love this place. They make the banh mi’s (Vietnamese sandwich) fresh to order. They have your typical cold cut, and BBQ pork. All the noodle soups are all delicious and rich in broth. Its not listed but they do have Thai teas, boba and kid size pho. Parking here can get a little tight since its located in a neighborhood. There is usually older men outside smoking and playing scratch tickets (there’s a lotto machine inside) don’t let them scare you from coming in. You won’t see a huge variety of different people besides Vietnamese and Cambodians just a heads up. But for sure stop by and get a fresh brewed Vietnamese coffee with a banh mi.

I can’t say I am an expert or frequent Vietnamese food eater. But this felt like home.

Ordered the meatball soup. It was excellent. I am looking forward to eating there again soon! If a meatball soup was this flavorful, I’ll take bets that the rest of the menu will be mind blowing.

i’ve been going to this place ever since i was like 5 (idrk i just guessed tbh) and honestly it’s pretty good. most of the workers there are friends with my dad’s side of the family and i see them at gatherings quite often. the food is also very delicious and authentic. one teeny problem is that somehow one of the workers get me and my sister’s names mixed up anyhoo, the workers are cool, food is yummy and authentic and i’d totally recommend this place and that’s pretty much it lol bye
