Lab C Food Kitchen - San Marcos - San Marcos (TX)

5 /5 Grouse K9: Came here for a mid-week date night and really enjoyed ourselves. Ive gotten in the habit of doing the date night thing in the middle of the week and that should certainly be a pro-tip. Definitely avoids the crowds. We arrived and the place was maybe 1/3 full. They had a steady stream and even more take outs/food deliveries, so I knew the place was good. We just found a quite dark corner and tucked in. Started off with the A1. Shrimp & Pork fried egg roll. It was a perfect Vietnamese egg roll. You can definitely tell the national differences across the different countries and I think Vietnamese style are my favorite. Very tasty and I love the texture. We had a Blue Moon that is only second to Tsing Tao beer at an Asian restaurant. For the main course I went with the B5. Shrimp Stir Fry Noodle (Vermicelli) Bowl. It tasted very good! Glad I went with it. Next time Ill try a pork or beef. For some reason the tails are attached to the shrimp. I get it likely is much more flavorful and easier, but it is always awkward to dissect them when you are eating. Im pretty nimble with chop sticks but Im not a pro, so I just eat them with my hands with the tails on. But they tasted great! And the bowl was HUGE. I need to eat thru more of the menu and we will definitely be stopping by again to troll thru it.

5 /5 Eddie Baty: The banh mi never disappoints. Had it twice now and will again. We had a grilled pork one and a fried tofu. Both delicious. Timely and kind service too. So glad I can finally get a good and convenient banh mi near me! Thank you.

5 /5 Dell: Lab C Food Kitchen has truly become a staple in our mid-week dinners. The food is consistently delicious, and their fried rice paired with the famous chicken spring rolls has become our go-to order. The spring rolls are honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. I love how they let you choose your heat level, and the shredded carrots and cucumber on the side add the perfect balance to the fried rice dish. Their fried rice is hands down the best around, and it’s something I recommend to everyone I know. I find myself raving about Lab C to friends and family because it’s rare to find a place that nails both food and service this well. Whoever is running this place has built a team that really cares, and it shows. Lab C isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a neighborhood gem we’re lucky to have. Come check this place out!!

5 /5 Alycia Medina: I have been looking for a good Vietnamese for some time now, and today I finally found it! This place exceeded our expectations. everything from the drinks and apps to the main dish was absolutely divine! To start i had a Vietnamese iced coffee that was so good I ordered 2 more to go. absolutely a must have if you go. for appetizers we got the cheese puffs and fried dumplings. they did not stand a chance. they were an absolute hit with my kids. For the main dishes we ordered a Banh mi and combination fried rice (which Im please to say was actually spicy like we asked!!) as well as combination kids plates. The portion sizes were definitely bigger than most places which I love. definitely more bang for your buck! The owner Gilbert, was super sweet and truly gave us a wonderful experience. he is truly the best! This place has truly won our hearts, and we will be back in the future!!

5 /5 Autumn Cheek: Labc has excellent and fresh Vietnamese food. We had the Shrimp Wonton and Noodle Soup. The flavor was great and the portions were more than enough. The service was prompt when we visited on a Monday. The cheesecake egg rolls are the bomb. If you havent tried this place, I would highly recommend it.
