"In Little Saigon, a revitalized dining scene" article, January 2008
"Le V, boasts a wall of wines that bisects its bistro-Moderne dining room."
"People's expectations are different now," says Cecilia Le, a former financial analyst who owns 6-month-old Le V Cuisine. Her customers tend to be business professionals who enjoy wines with her menu of Vietnamese and fusion dishes and shareable small plates such as small spring lamb chops arranged on blue cheese-spiked potato "fondue" or salmon carpaccio sprinkled with crispy capers and chives. They're not averse to culinary experimentation, Le says.

Smart, spare décor with a touch of red silk and an impressive Lucite wall of wines set the tone for a change-of-pace menu that offers inventive and traditional plates, large and small.
Recommended dishes: banana flower salad with baby clams in lemon dressing served with crispy rice cracker; salmon carpaccio with crispy capers; baby lamb chops appetizer with blue cheese-potato fondue; orange duck fried rice; shaken filet mignon (bo luc lac) with tomato-rice salad.
